Are Freely Gone Over--COaI
Strike Not Mentioned.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept. 16.-Senators
Hanna, Spooner, Allison, Aldrich and Lodge
and Postmaster General Payne spent sew
eral hours with President Roosevelt today
and discussed with him the entire political
situation, having special reference to the
conditions in the western states, which the
president is to visit on his approaching
trip.
The parties to the conference we're very
reticent after they returned from Sycamore
Hill, but 1t can be stated on reliable au-
thority that 1t was decided to make no
attempt to revise the tariff at the coming
session of congress- that the president is
to maintain his position as to the trusts.
and further, that he Is to insist on his
demand for reciprocity with Cuba. 1t is
said he will fully outline his policy with
regard to the latter in some of his western
speeches. 1t can be stated on excellent
authority that the coal strike was not
touched.
The presidents object in having this
conference was to learn IL there had been
any marked political changes in the differ
ent sections of the country during the
last year. The conference today, 1t is said,
showed that there has been none. THE
conference was entirely Harmonious" said
OhS VI INC dlblClpdulbs WuO uttllutu "
permit his name to be used mo differ
ences of opinion occurred and the presi-
dents position on the different questions
was endorsed. We talked over the entire
political situation, particularly that in the
states through which the president is to
pass. The coal strike was not talked
about"
The senatorial visitors arrived here
about 1850 p. m. The senator's refused to
see a number of newspaper men who were
on the train. On their arrival they were
driven to Sycamore Hill in the president g
trap. They left in the private car in which
they arrived for Long Island City.

through the village this morning and in
spected the decorations which had been
placed on the buildings for yesterdays re-

paid to the members of the house combine
There were several false clues as to the
wherea bouts OF Charles F. Kelly brought to
the attention Of Attorney Folk, but none
turned out to be OF any value. On tele-
graphic announcement that the much wanted
man was in Little Rock Ark, the circuit
attorney wired the chief Of police there to
take him into custody. 1t soon transpired
that the man was not Kelly and that his ap'
prehension was due to the desire OF an in
dlvidual in Little Rock to earn the $500 re-
ward offered for the arrest of the missing
delegate.
The police and deputy sheriffs are still
looking for Delegate Charles F. Kelly and
former Delegates Emile Hartmann, Louis
Decker John Sheridan, Julius Lehman and
Adolph Maders. The last named is thought
to be In Colorado, where he has been fol
some time.
There have been numerous reports during
the last few days to the effect that Delegate
Kelly was ready to surrender but nothing
has been seen Of him by the authorities
Important developments are expected wher
he comes before the grand jury. as he IL

but two districts had democratic contests.
