The 1nsolence Of the Coal Trust.

The conference at the White House
last Friday, between the President and
representatives of the coal trust and the
striking miners, was total failure sc
far as direct results were concerned.
President Mitchell, on behalf of the
miners, offered to submit the questions
involved in the strike to q committee to
be appointed by the President and abide
by the decision, whether favorable or
otherwise. This proposition Was vehe-
mently opposed by the men who have
overworked, underpaid and notoriously
robbed the miners in the weighing of
the coal which they dug out Of the
earth. The repraseptatives-of the trust
didli.ele moro Than abuse the miners
.sstnA lecture the President for not send
s,ng the United States army to their coal
mines to shoot the miners into submits
sion.
The President urged in the name of
humanity, and appealed to the patriot
ism which every man should feel for
the common veal, but all without avail.
The trust proposes to starve the miners
into submission without regard to con-
sequences.
Indirectly the Presidents conference
may be productive of great good. 1t
has emphasized at an opportune time
the enormity of the trust evil, and that
will help to elect congress not con-
trolled by the trusts.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Foliowing is
the gist of the statements presented to
President Roosevelt by John Mitchell
of the miners union, and President
Baer of the Reading Railway COM
pany:
John Mitchell, president of the
United Mine Workers to President
Roosevelt propose that the issues
eliminating in this strike shall be re-
ferred to you and a tribunal of your
own selection and agree to accept your
award upon all or any of the questions
involved.
George f. Baer, head of the coal
trust, to President Roosevelt-The duty
OF the hour is not to waste time nego-
tiating with the fomenters of this an.
archy and insolent defiance of law, but
to do as was done in the war of the
rebellion-restore the majesty of the
law, the only guardian of free people,
and to re-establish order and peace at
any cost.
Conference u Failure.
President Roosevelt's effort to con-
ciliate the anthracite coal operators
and mine workers through n confer
ence at the White House proved q
failure. John Mitchell, national presi-
dent of the miners union, was concil-
1atory and showed sincere desire to
settle the strike through the presi-
dents mediation.
The coal operators were ill-tempered
and defiant. They openly criticised
the president and asserted that he
could settle the strike ut once by order
ing federal troops to protect non-un-
ion miners. Besides indulging in VI
cious TRADE against the mine work
ers' union, which they characterized as
lawless combination, they charged by
insinuation and even openly that the
president was not performing his duty.
George r. Baer, president of the Phil
adelphia and Reading railroad, with
brutal candOr, charged the president
with playing politics.
Markle Flaunts a Cartoon.
John Markle, the richest individual
mine operator in Pennsylvania, at one
stage of the conference pulled from his
pocket copy of an illustrated paper
containing cartoon in colors repre-,
senting union miners numbering nom
union men with Justice standing in
the background i'll an attitude Of help
lessness. her eyes bandaged and her
sword trailing the ground. Markle
fourished this before the presidents
eyes and said 1t was an accurate pict-
ure of conditions in the PENNSYLVANIA
anthracite fields.
The operators acted throughout as
II they felt offended and insulted be-
cause President Mitchell and three 9th
er officers of the Mine Workers union
were present at the conference. They
seemed to feel that If the president of
the United States had anything to say
to them about the coal strike he should
have arranged to say it without the
presence of the labor leaders.
Roosevelt's Temper Aroused.
President Baer charged, in n petu.
liant manner after President Mitchell
had expressed willingness to sub.
NIT to arbitration that the coal oprr.
ators We're led into a trap. This was

The Mutoseope Mania.

In England the photograph craze
Of the '80s is being equaled by the
mutoseope mania of to-day, and So
ciety delights in seeing itself as the
biograph saw it. Even Joseph Cham
berlain has succumbed to the fad. At
an exhibition in Birmingham the 9TH
er day Mrs Chamberlain came across
a reproduction of her husband max
ing his speech at Blenheim. cit is
wonderful, Joe" she exclaimed to her
husband. ssWhy, I am just closing my
parasolr' Mr.. Chamberlain was Gu
rious enough to place his eye at the
spy hole and regard critically his own
gestures on that famous occasion. He
must have been satisfied with him..
self, for he ordered duplicates for the
entertainment of his own guests.

GOLD IN JAPAN.
Washing for the Dust Being Energetic
ally Carried On.

Mr.. Consul Playfair, in foreign Of
fee report on the trade of Hakodate
for 1900, says that the washing for
gold dust is being energetically car
ried on, and there is reason to believe
that the utilization Of proper machin-
cry will render it possible to work the
gold mines Of Hokkaido with fair
profit. Two foreign firms and jap
anese capitalist of Yokohama, says
the London Standard, are reported to
have decided on inviting experts from
California. 81 learn from two foreign
miners, who spent the greater part of
last year at the mines in Esashi prov
ince, that the output for the year will
probably be somewhat less than in
1899, owing to stricter supervision.
The gold is all surface gold, obtained
by washing. Labor is good and plen-
tiful, and modern appliances are be-
ing adopted. The system hitherto in
vogue, whereby proprietors, for a
small consideration, granted permits
to all and sundry to work for them
selves, is being done away with, as a
great deal Of harm was caused by ig-
norant workers and much damage
done to the river banks, etc. The
mines are in the hands ofthree OF four
proprietors, who are, moreover, max
ing efforts to acquire as much more
land in the vicinity as they can obtain.
Fine timber is plentiful. The great
est difficulty encountered is the Sc
verify Of the floods. In July and Au-
gust the rains are heavy, and rivers
may rise four or five feet in a night;
but, fortunately, they subside very
rapidly. The season may be said to
last from April to October, after
which date the weather is too severe
for profitable work. Now that the
circumstances are better understood,
it is, anticipated that better results
will be obtained"
