Secret of the Academic Franchise,

In connection with the reception of
~. de Vogue by the French Academy,
it is noted that the new academician
made his opening address facing to-
ward the southwest pillar of the hall.
So has every new academician since
1819-since, in fact, the admission of
the Able Maury, who, feeble in voice
and fearing a fasco for his reception
speech, went to the hall some days in
advance to test his voice. Turning
slowly round as he spoke he noticed
a clear echo as he faced the southwest
pillar Several tests confirmed the
result, and Maury went away happy.
His reception was brilliant success.
He afterward gave his secret away.
and no academician has ever been
known to ignore it.-Iondon Globe.

WASH0UT
One on Union Pacific Near st.
Marys.

There was wash-out of a small bridge
on the Union Pacific the latter part of
Friday night, between St. Marys and
Bellevue, and until noon today traffic of
that road had to be handled over the Rock
Island tracks from Manhattan to Topeka
The regular afternoon trains of the Union
Pacific were run over the tracks of that
road, the damage having been temporarily
repaired.
On the Solomon, Blue and Republican
rivers the high water washed the tracks
of the Rock Island slightly out of line
and trains from the west were delayed
several hours. The Rock Island weather
report shows heavy precipitation over all
the lines of that company in this state,
with clearing in Colorado. On the Santa
Fe orders have been issued to all engi-
neers to proceed at reduced speed on ac-
count of soft track, and most of the
trains on that road are from a few min
utes to more than an hour behind the
schedule.

would listen to 40 proposition whatever
emanating from Mr. Mitchell
1t was 4:5s o'clock when the confer
ence ended. The operators came down
stairs and held brief consultation
and then left in their. carriages for their
train .whefe they met q number of
newspaper men. to- whom they furnish
ed copies of the statements they had
made to the president.
Stipulating that they should not be
quoted. they talked quite freely of the
conference. Several of them declared
the interference of the president had
rsulted in retarding rather than for
warding the settlement. They asserted
that no progress had been made. and
said they would return to continue the
contest. They declared that the situa-
ton was most serious as to coal supply,
but said that the coal would be fur
nished to the public. and that. if given
protection they could get men to mine
coal to at least 70 per cent of their
capacity. They declared there would be
no compromise, and that the strike
would continue until the miners sue
cumb They asserted their determina-
ton to make no concessions further
than the offers already made.

SHELDON DECLINES 1T.
Topeka Preacher No Longer Con-
gressional Candidate.

A formal declinatio< c. the nomination
Peoples party was today filed with the
secretary of state by Rev, Charles NJ. Shell
don. rather such a declination came
through the mail to Secretary of State
Clark.
As soon as Mr.. Sheldon heard that he
had been nominated he wrote a letter to
James H. Lathrof-, secretary of the Allied
party's committee. declining the nomina-
tion. and Hill P. Wilson, assistant secre-
tary of state says that this declination
would have been sufficient to keep his
name off the ballot. although there is
difference of opinion on that question.
It is quite probable that if NJ Sheldon's
name had appeared on the ballot for any
office he you'd have received a consider
able complimentary vote from his many
personal admirers. The Populi>ts were
afraid the greater part of this vote would
come from their party. and they were
therefore anxious that there should be no
doubt as to his declnation. Mr.. Sheldon
himself has not secured any blank from
the secretary of states office for formal
declination and it is supposed that some
interested fusionist secured the blank and
took it to -. Sheldon for his signature

Mitchells proposition has string to it.
Moreover, how do the operators know
that Mitchell can control his men, Did
not they go back on him at Hazletun
two years ago when he ordered them
not to strike?
THE trouble is that there are two
sides to this fght-tl7e responsible side
and the irreS ponsihle one The oper-
ators stand for something the miners
are in position to draw out of any
agreement their leaders may make. It
is practically impossible to make bind

NO EXTRA SESSION.
Washington, Oct 4-There will be no
call for an extra session of congress to
deal with the coal strike situa-
dent expressly stated in his appeal to
the operators and representative of the
miners yesterday that he did not act Of
ficially in calling them together. He
has for the time being, exhausted his
individual resources. In his view. the
matter is again one with which the
state of Pennsylvania should deal. If
the commonwealth finds itself unable to
control the situation and appeals to him
through the constitutional channels. the
president will be ready to bring into
play the great forces of the national
government, military and civil. But for
the time being the president has relax
ed his efforts.
A great many radical suggestions
have been made as the result of the
failure of the conference yesterday, and
they include everything from taking
possession of the mines by the govern
rnent to sending United States troops to
Pennsylvania without regard to any call
from the governor of that state. 1t can
be positively stated that none of thase
suggestions has received any serious
consideration by the administration.
