STILL IMPROVING.
Report of Phy,slcians ms to Condition
of President Are Sntfs-
factory.

Washington, Sept. 2s.-The presi-
dents physicians dressed the wound
in his leg Saturday morning and SUBJ
sequently announced that the condi-
ton of the injury was satisfactory.
The inflammation is receding slowly,
but it may be a day OF two yet before
the physicians can state definitely that
granulation has set in without involv-
ing the bone. The president continues
in good spirits and is taking his en-
forced confinement philosophically.
He spends the major portion of his
time reading on a lounge, but is ready
to give his attention to business when
it is brought before him for action.
Friday he disposed of several pardon
cases.
The members Of the cabinet are co.
operating with the physicians to Sc
cure absolute rest and quiet for the
president by refraining from bringing
to his attention any except urgent
business. None of the cabinet officials
called during the morning and no one
was admitted to the presidents room.
AS on previous days, however, MANY
persons stopped Saturday at the door
OF the temporary white house on Jack
son place to inquire about the condi.
ton OF the president and to express
their hopes for his speedy recovery.

Stocks of old oats became rapidly de-

mand. Mayor James Patten of Evanston
had cornered May oats so successfully
that there was no corpse" of big cash
supplies to bury. When the heavy rains
continued, receipts of new standard oats
which must be delivered on new July con-

EUROPE VS.. TRUSTS
The U. S. Was Not Invited to Par
ticipate.
NO WORD SENT TO WASHINGTON
An Invitation Would Be Refused,
However,, as Congress Alone
Regulates Trade.
sxasv York Sun soeefas Service

Washington, July 19.-The Russian
government has not sent any invitation
to the United States government to par
ticipate in the international conference
which the 'czar is said to be anxious tc
call for the consideration of measures
involving the restraint or suppression Of
trusts. Not even an intimation on the
subject came to the authorities here.
While any official statement in the mat
ter in advance of the receipt Of an invi-
tation would be premature, it is known
that such an invitation would be politely
declined. 1t is realized here that the idea
of American participation in an tnterna-
tiona1 commission would be ,distasteful
to the people of the United States as we'll
as to the authorities Of the government.
The administration regards the trust
question as domestic issue;
AS congress has the sole right to regu-
late and control trade and commerce the
executive administration is powerless to
permit the participation of this govern
ment in the proposed conference without
specific legislative authority. 1t is be-
lieved in official circles, however, that
there is no prospect that congress will
view the czar's proposition In a favorable
light, not only on the ground that any
agreement reached would be of no prac-
ticaI benefit but for the reason that it
would be distasteful to enter into part
nership with European nations for the
control of trade in American made goods.

the good ofnces OF the American Federation
of Labor will ba requested.
Ninth-That m address be submitted to
the American people.
The salient points OF this address, as
read by Secretary wilson, are as follows:
II Address to the Public.
The coal miners recognize the marvellous
industrial progress Of the country during the
last decade. but our labor has produced the
foundation for most OF this wealth by pro-
ducing the coal which has made the progress
possible. But when tho miners examine the
paltry pittance they receive as recompense
for the labors and dangers they undergo,
they feel that they ara being dealt with un-
justly.
The combinations OF capital are SO power
full that individuals are helpless and expert
ence shows that when capital combines, labor
must unite. The grievances of the miners
have forced them 10 organize, not to take
from the operators what. belongs to them,
but to receive better treatment and fair re-
muneraton for their labor. For Ave years
the miners have lived up to the letter and
spirit Of every contract, and do not intend
tc violate them now. s.
The miners believe that the best interests
of the country are opposed to general strike,
and while they feel that in the present fight
their union may me destroyed, nothing can
compel them to break their agreements. The
miners request the American people to bring
such pressure to bear upon the anthracite
operators and anthracite railroads as will
compel them to submit to arbitration The
expense Of the miners call for contribution
of $1,0o0,ooo per month from sources outside

Go On in the Philippines.
Rome, July 19.-The following note from
the vatican was presented TO Governor

I am happy to assure you that the holy see
has learned with the liveliest satisfaction the
high consideration in which Mr.. Root, IN
the name of the government of the United
States holds the fitness OF the measures
which the vatican, independently OF the solu-
tion Of any economic question, designed talk
ing to ameliorate the religious situation in
the archipelago and to Cooperate in the
pacifcation of the people under American
sovereignty.
With equal satisfaction, the pontif has
taken into account the assurances of Secre-
tary Root that the American authorities In
the Philippines and at Washington will put
forth all possible efforts to maintain the
good understanding happily established with
the authorities of the Catholic church. On
his part, the pontiff will not fail to give the
apostolic delegate soon to be sent to the
Philippines the most precise Instructions ac-
cording to my former notes. -.
The main lines for future negotiations, in
dicated in the notes, having been accepted
by Secretary Root, the representative Of the
vatican in the archipelago will enter into
relations with the authorities in the Philip
pines on the four points indicated by Mr..
Root at the end of his cablegram.
The holy see does not doubt that mutual
confidence, combined with the action of its
representatives and that of the American
government, will easily produce happy So
luton of the pending questions, inaugural
ing for that noble country new era of
peace and true progress. ".
I add that the favorable result of the ne
gotiations must be attributed in very large
part to your high. personal qualities, I have
the honor to be, ETC., -Rampolla.
