RUNORS OF SETTLEMENT
RIFE ON WALL STREET
Plans Involve Concessions
on Both Sides.
PRESIDENT BAER IS SILENT
Has Nothing to Say Regarding RumoTed
Resignation-Stated That Mitchell
May Leave the Leadership.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1-RumOFs Of a set
Element Of the anthracite coal strike are
rife again today. oae story, emsaat-
ing from wall Street. had it that a set
tlenent would be effected early next
week. This story is not given credence.
however. as it is believed that plans In
volrfng concessions on both sides must
be discussed further before the strikers
are ordered TO return to work
The frequent conferences this week
the Cabinet in Washington. the Mitchell
conference In Philadelphia. and the coal
road presidents meeting here. have led
to all manner Of stories, with none au-
thenticated.
President Baer. Of the Reading Rail
road, who Is looked upon as spokesman
for the other operators. still maintains
that no concessions viii be made.
That pressure is being brought to bear
on the operators is evident. Some OF the
mine owners are ready TO yield, accord
ing TO one authority. and are being
held only by the Unhtuching attitude OF
Baer. OIiphant, and Thomas-the former
the most radical.
The same pressure that is being
brought against the operators is being
exerted IN q lesser degree on JohG
Mitchell, leader OF the strikers Mr.
Mitchell Is ready for a conference with
the coal operators. and viii make soma
concessions If they will, but he de-
mands that the question OF wages and
hours be adjusted satisfactorily TO the
miners. It IS said.
One story. built. apparently. out of
whole cloth, had it today that Mr. Baer
intended to resign, and that this resig-
nation would bring about settlement
Mr. Baer is said TO have been asked II
he had resigned and to have replied: =
have nothing to say"
Another rumor is that Mitchell is to
quit the leadership OF the strikers.

SUBSIDY TO PREVENT
MORGAN OCEAN COMBINE
Dissatisfaction at Action OF
British Government.

LONDON. Oct. The grant OF an an
nual subsidy Of eI50, ,000 sterling to the
Cunard steamship line. BY the british
government in order TO Keep that i'm
portant concern out OF the Morgan ocean
combine, is certain TO produce a warm
debate at the meeting Of Parliament Oh
Monday.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, until secept-
Iy chancellor OF the ezcheQaef. in a
speech at Bristol. last Monday. spoke
against subsidies. and it is thought now
that his attitude on this question was
responsible for his leaving the cabinet
L is generally known that al influential
party. irrespective Of politics, is opposed
to the grant. and the government will
have TO show strong case before Par
lament will sanction the arrangement
Public comment. and newspaper edi-
torials are curiously mixed over the neH
question. The Birmingham Post. and

scheme. but the Manchester Guardian"

IT is impossible 10 devise any sys-

NO LAW AS TO POLITICS
OF COMMISSIONERS
Bipartisan Board a Custom,
But Not Obligatory.

Dr.. William TindaIl, Secretary TO the
Board OF District Commissioners, wrote
70 Mr. L J. Clements. OF the Govern
ment Printing once. today. informing
him that there is no law requiring the
President to appoint member OF the
Democratic party to the vacant Commis-
sionership.
IN The appointment Of the civil Com
missioners a precedent has been fol
lowed making one Of them of the Re
publican ard one Of the Democratic
party, but it is only precedent After
announcing that there is no law on the
subject Dr. Tindau makes the following
statement. which explains how the pres
ent custom originated.
"A few years ago I was informed by
Senator Blackburn, who was chairman
OF the committee OF the House Of Rep
resentatives which prepared the draft
Of the law establishing the present form
OF government IN the District, that he
originally inserted in the bill a proviso
directing that the Commissioners ap-
pointed from civil life should belong to
different principal political parties. but
consented TO the omission OF the proyiso
from the bill, at the request OF Hon
James A. Garfield, who. al the instance
Of President Rutherford B. Hayes, asked
him to do so, as its retention would be
10 the nature of reflection on the
Presidents impartiality. Mr.. Garfield,
however, assured Senator Blackburn
that the President. in appointing such
Commissioners, would be governed by
the policy expressed IN the provisO so
expunged- Senator Blackburn has just
written me confirming my recollection
IN the premises.

that he will be as tree to commend

trusts as he has been to condemn
the attitude Of the Republican
party on the colonial question.
Of the incident, Bryan's Common,
er says: 'sMr. Ball condensed in
to sentence the a,ti-trust plank
of the Kansas City platform.
That platform criticised the repub-
lican administration for not en-
forcing existing laws and then ad-
vocated the free list for trust-made
articles and urged a federal statute
denying to monopolies the priv
leges of interstate com m er c e.
These remedies cover the entire
ground and yet the republicans,
while pretending to oppose trusts
refuse to apply these remedies or
to suggest others. Mr.. Littlefeld
ought to profit by the information
