q. A. r. with March.
Washington, Oct. o. The veterans
OF the g. A. r. and their friends were
entertained yesterday by a parade
given In honor Of the naval veterans,
and by number OF reunions held in
the big assembly tents at Camp Roose-
welt. The weather was threatening
during the early morning, but the sun
burst through the clouds about noon,
80 that with the mild temperature that
prevailed there was no reason for COM
plaint ON that score. The attendance
steadily increased during the day, and
last night the city was crowded as ii
has been only on rare occasions.
The naval parade OF the forenoon was
not as large as many that have been
seen In Washington, but it was in every
way interesting. The veterans Of the
navy appeared to be an embodiment Of
much OF the nations recent history.
and every squad OF them was an object
OF interested observation. They were
generally old men, and many bore evil
dences Of wounds received In battle.
In striking contrast to them we're the
young men OF all the branches OF the
present service, who marched with
them as an escort Of honor, as il were.
This escort included representatives Of
both the land and naval forces, and
they ELECTED much favorable comment
for their fine appearance as men, as
they did for the excellent discipline
displayed by them.
The parade was under the command
OF General Haywood, commander of the
marine corps, as marshal Of the day.
and consisted OF all the regular troops
located in and about Washington, ma

q Strong Address for tire Educatlen q
Youth on Benefits Of Irrigation Sem
ator Patterson Declares that Present
Law Is Due to Roosevelt.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Oct. 81

of Colorado college, who told Of the
need of more extensive education Of the
young people Of the land in applied
sciences, In order that they may make

education as mining engineering Is
today.

bureau at Washington, gave valuable
addrtss on the weather bureau irriRa-

bulletin service, the history Of attempt
ed rainmaking and kindred subjects.

cooperation and assistance Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, following this with the
declaration that no one but Roosevelt
could even have overcome the opposi.
tion to the bill in the presidents own
party.

who was the author Of the Reeder bill,
which was the irrigation act Ia line for
passage when it was superseded BY the
bill which became law, spoke or the

at Work are Not Miners.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. S.-The be-
ginning of the 22d week Of the strike
shows no material change in the eitua-
tion. The operators told President
Roosevelt on Friday that IL, 900 men
were at work, and that 15 per cent of
the normal production was being
mined. President Mitchell today de-
MED that such a number Of men are
mining eaal He said the operators
we're including in the IL, 900 ali the
engineers, iremen, pumprunners, (of
whom there are about 9.O0Oy, fire
bosses, clerks and other employees. He
also denied that Is per cent of the
normal production is being sent to the
market, and said: eff this statement
were true, the operators owe it to the
public to sell coal at the normal price,
instead of charging dealers SIS to
Wv ~ WIZ
While the superintendents hereabOuts
will not talk OF future plans, there is
an impression among citizens generally
that strong effort will be made this
week by the coal companies to resume
operations. The officials Of these conn
panies have all along maintained that
men are ready to return to work, but
fear personal violence.
Mr.. Mitchell says he has no appre-
hension of the strikers breaking away.
He declares the companies are keeping
constant pressure ON the workers to
return, but without success. At Drif-
ton, he said, the coal company officials
had made canvass of the community,
and found only one boy, the son OF a,
non-union man, who was willing to
return to work. Mr.. Mitchell said he
received this report from there today.

MEN APE DgrERMINnp.
Concessions Must Be Made 70 Coal Miners
or They WIN R9maIn Out.

VI AuSy WIN NHHNAn Outs
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. l0--President
Mitchell, Of the minewofkerE, and the
three district presidents, left for New
York at s:05 P. M., on the Lebigh
Valley road. They refused to say
what their mission was or whom they
will meet. Unless their visit bears
fruit, the end Of the mineworkers'
strike seems . long way off, and the
prospects Of sufficient coal being mined
to eatisiy the demand Il extremely
poor. Every local union Of the miners
organization Throughout ihe hard coal
belt held special pefiings either last
night or today, and resolved 10 remain
on strike until the mineowners grant
them some concession. While the
reports Of these meetings came pouring
into Wilkesbarre, President Mitchell
dictated letter to the president OF the
United States, In which he gave his
answer to the proposition that the
strikers return to work and trEst to
have their condition improved through
an investigating committee. The
answer OF the miners chief he reiueed
10 divulge, but II is difficult to con.
ceive that with the replies of the local
unions piled around him, he could do
otherwise than respectfully decline
the presidents proposition. Mr.. Mitch
ell sent his letter to Washington before
he had heard from all the locals, and
at 8 O'Clock In the afternoon, accom-
panied by the district presidents, left
for New York. His mission there is
also q secret. As New York Is the
headquarters OF the coal operators, q
rumor Immediately spread that q set
tlement was In prospect.
From early morning until late to-
night the returns from the meetings OF
the local unions came pouring into
the union headquarters, and this after
noon the corps OF newspaper CORES
pondents stationed here were invited TO
examine the reports. Not one was
found that was not couched in firm
language. Briefly stated, the resolu-
tions in these reports affirm the conf
dence Of the miners in the integrity
of their president, praise President
Roosevelt for his effort to end the
strike, denounce the presidents OF the
coal'carrying railroads for their alleged
abuse OF the chief executive at the con-
ference in Washington, denounce the
Of the coal and iron po-
lice, thank all organizations and citi-
zens throughout the country for the
aid given, and denounce Governor
Stone for sending troops here.

STRIKE BRINGS RIOT.
Sixteen Men Wounded at New Orleans
Militia Ordered Out.


New Orleans, Oct TO- The attempt
this morning of the New Orleans rail-
way companies to start cars, which
have been completely tied up for IL
days, precipitated long-impending
conflict between the strikers and those
who attempted to Hil their places.
Although hundred shots we're fired,
but six policemen, six non-union men
and four strikers wers wounded.
Mayor Capdeville, who requested
Governor Heard to order out the
militia, has been advised that Major
General Glynn, in command OF the
First military district, would report to
the mayor tomorrow morning. The
street railway company announces its
intention to run cars tomorrow. The
strikers are IS determined as ever,
while the citizens, who have been walk
ing, Or riding in all manner of convey
ances, for four days more than a week,
confidently expect trouble. The riot
this morning occurred in the same
neighborhood as the one of the day
before.
All the militia in the city was or
dered under arms tonight, and corporal
guards are rounding up the men. The
plan of operations for tomorrow has
not been determined. One company
of the Third regiment wants to evade
service because Of sympathy with the
strikers, and all of the officers and
men resigned in a body. The governor
has not been heard from on this mat
ter, but it is understood the resigna.
tions will not be accepted.

Suffers Loss Of 100000.
Beaumont, Tex, Oct. 9.-Another
destructive fire, the second within a
month, swept over q portion OF the oil
field last night, causing one probable
fatality and entailing q property loss
roughly estimated at 100000. The
fire at 2 o'clock this morning is still
burning, but practical oil men declare
the flames will subside before daylight.
Thomas Rowley. worker in the field,
was caught in the path Of the flames
and sustained burns from which he
will die. This is believed to be the
only casualty.
The fire started in a peculiar manner.
Shortly before midnight q workman
lifted the top of his lantern to blow out
the light. The atmosphere was heavily
laden with gas, and in an instant there
was flash, followed by sheet of
flame. The blaze was communicated to
small settling tank near by. In an
instant derrick adjoining the tank
was enveloped in fire, and with re-
markable rapidity the flames spread to
other derricks. The FIRE department
and hundreds of citizens rushed to the
scene, but their efforts to check the
flames we're unavailing.
