In my judgment the situation inn
peratively requires that you meet upon
the common plane of the necessities
of the public. With all the earnest
ness there is in me, ask that there be
an immediate resumption of operations
in the coal mines in some such way
as will, without days unnecessary
delay meet the crying needs of the
people.
Il do not invite discussion of your
respective claims and positions. I ap-
peal to your patriotism, to the spirit
that sinks personal considerations and
makes Individual sacrifices for the
general good.
Mr.. Mitchell then made statement
in which he embodied the following
proposition:
I'VE are willing to meet the gentle
men representing the coal operators to
try and adjust the differences among
ourselves. If we cannot adjust them
that way, as president, we are willing
that you shall name a tribunal who
shall determine the issues that have
resulted in the strike and If the gen.
.
tlemen representing the operators will
accept the award or decision of such
tribunal, the miners will willingly &C
cept it. even if it is against their
claims.
| Upon suggestion of the president,
the conference adjourned and reas-
sembled in the afternoon when the
coal presidents made their statements.

were made in the following order:

Boston, Mass, Oct. 4.-The above
ticket was nominated by reclamation
at the republican state convention yes
terday. Chairman John d. Long paid
a brief but eloquent tribute to the
memory of President Mckinley and re-
viewed President Roosevelt's admin
istration, beginning with a glowing eu-
logy OF the president, commencing the
members of the cabinet in the admin
istration of their various departments,
saying he was sure there was no de-
mand for a change.
The platform adopted commends
President Roosevelt, declaring that he
has addressed himself to the duties of
hi high office with wisdom and cour-
age. 1t declares that Massachusetts
sustains and supports his present ad-
ministration and intends to sustain
and support him.
The platform says of the strike:
"The strike of the miners In the an
thracite coal fields of Pennsylvania has
paralyzed that industry and brought
trouble, loss and distress in con-
stantly increasing measure upon the
people Of the United States. 1t is not
a political question and should not be
made so as to advance party purposes.
1t is a calamity, common to us all and
the prospect of loss and suffering by
all of our people is too serious to be
! passed over in silence by any repre-
sentative body of American citizens"

The Presidents Statement.

The Presidents Statement.
The official statement of the confer
ence given out last night gives the de-
tails of the opening and the names of
those present. The president after
the formal greeting, made the follow
ing statement:
81 wish to call your attention to the
fact that there are three parties
affected by the situation in the anthra-
cite trade-the operators, the miners
and the general public. The question
at issue which led to the situation
affect Immediately the parties con-
cerned-the operators and the miners
but the situation itself vitality affects
the public AS long as there seemed
to be a reasonable hope that these
matters could be adjusted between the
parties it did not seem proper to me to
intervene in any way. | disclaim any
right or duty 10 intervene in any way
upon legal grounds or upon any official
relation that / bear to the situation;
but the urgency and the terrible ma
ture of the catastrophe impending
over a large portion of our people in
the shape of winter fuel famine i'm
pels me after much anxious thought
to believe that my duty requires me 10
use whatever influence l personally
can to bring to an end situation
which has become literally intolerable.
81 wish to emphasize the character
of the situation and to say that its
gravity is such that | am constrained
urgently to insist that each OF you
realize the heavy burden of response
bility upon him. We are upon the
threshold of winter with an already
existing coal famine, the future ter
rors of which we can hardly yet ap-
preciate The evil possibilities are
so far-reaching. so appalling, that it
seems to me that you are not onlyjusti-
fed in sinking but required to sink
for the time being any tenacity as to
your respective claims in the matter
at issue between you.

AT FAILURE OF CONFERENCE IN

London Press Commends Roose-
veIt's Action But Is not Surprised
at His Failure.

Wilkesbarre, Oct. 4.-News of the
failure of the Washington conference
had depressing effect on all inter
ests here. Local operators think the
miners, now that all hope of arbitra-
ton seems gone, will gradually return
to work. Strike leaders are of the
opinion the struggle will continue and
that cold weather will yet compel the
operators to make the concessions.
There was an exciting time at the
Nottingham mine last night. A negro
deputy came out of the stockade,
when it is alleged, he was assaulted
by strikers. He shot into the crowd
and the bullet struck Joseph Yark-
man, a striker, in the abdomen. The
negro retreated to the stockade. A
large crowd gathered and they threat
ened to tear down the stockade and
hang the negro. Six companies of sol
diers prevented a serious riot and the
mob dispersed. The negro will bel

velt's intervention in the coal strike
attracts great attention in Great Brit
ain Pending it's results business in
the American department Of the stock
exchange was virtually at a standstill,
and the coal market is certain to be
strongly affected Long dispatches
from the United States describing the
situation are published in the news
papers this morning which nearly all
devote editorial articles to the matter
applauding Roosevelt's courage in ig-
noring tradition and red tape in an
endeavor to affect settlement of the
dispute. but displaying no surprise at
the failure of his laudable efforts. The
Standard says:
''Roosevelt's action raises questions
important to every Industrial commu-
nifty. The question Of how far ought
the executive of a state interfere in
labor conflicts is the point which, like
the kindred subject of international
arbitration, is one upon which it is
easier to cherish praiseworthy ideals
than to reduce them to practice"
Detroit, Oct News of the failure
of the conference in Washington has
increased interest in the convention
here Thursday. 1t is expected a
thousand delegates will be here from
all parts of the country.

The president yielded the first point,
but ungraciously, as one under strict
compulsion.

The president glanced furtively at
the clock. 1t was nearly eleven, and
MFarland would surely come in on the
stroke of the hour. If he could only
gain little time. He searched in his
pockets and drew forth handful of
coin.

CHAPTER III.

Two days after the Adelantado
cleared for the banana coast; or, to be
more accurate, in the forenoon of
the second day, the unimpetuous rou-
tine of the business quarter of New Or
leans was rudely disturbed by the
shock of genuine sensation.
At ten o'clock, Mr.. Galbraith, presi-
dent of the Bayou state bank, entered
his private office in the rear of the
main banking apartment, opened his
desk, and addressed himself to the
business of the day. Punctually at ten
five the stenographer, whose desk was
IN the anteroom, brought in the mail;
Eve minutes later the cashier entered
for his morning conference with his
superior; and at half-past the hour
the president was left alone to read his
correspondence.
Mr.. Galbraith was a serious-minded
man whose hobby was method; and 1T
was his custom to give himself quiet
half-hour of inviolable seclusion each
morning in which to read and consider
his letters. During this interval the
stenographer, acting as usher, was in
etructed to deny his chief to callers OF
whatsoever degree. Wherefore, when
the door of the private Office opened
at twenty minutes of eleven to admit
Q stranger, the president was justly
annoyed.
"Well sir?" he said. with an accent
irritant, taking the intruder's meas
ure in a swift glance shot beneath his
bushy white eyebrows.
The visitor was a young man not
over thirty, of prepossessing appear
ance, with figure rather slight for
his stature; fair, with blue eyes, and
q curling brown beard and mustache,
the former trimmed to a point. So
much the president was able to remark
at glance, and to remember after
wards.

the door, 'if you have business with
me, Ishall have to ask you to excuse me
for few minutes. Be good enough to
take a seat in the ante-room till | ring
Mcfarland should have told you"
The young man drew up chair and
sat down, ignoring the request as if he
had not heard it. Now Mr.. Andrew
Galbraiths temper was ordinarily the
temper of an elderly gentleman with
long upper lip, worn clean shaven,
but such deliberate infraction of his
rules was not to be borne patiently,
and he got up to ring for the janitor.
But when his hand sought the bell
push, he found himself looking into
the muzzle of revolver in the hands
of the intruder, and so was fam to fall
back into his chair, gasping:
"Wha-what do you mean, sir! Who
are you and what do you want?" he
stammered.
The reply was most succinct and to
the point.
II am poor man, and want money.
If you call for help, shall shoot YOU"
"You would murder me?" The pres
ident's hands were clutching the arms
of the chair, and he was fighting des-
perately for courage and presence OF
mind in his extremity.
"Not willingly, assure you; but
most certainly, if you attempt to give
the alarm. But there is no occasion for
needless anxiety. 1t is merely ques-
ton of money, and if you are amenable
to reason your life is not in danger"
eff I'm-but I'm not amenable to
YOUR reasons, sir!" exclaimed the pres
ident, recovering somewhat from the
first shock of terrified bewilderment.

show his teeth.

CHAPTER ".

If Kenneth Griswold had been
neither more nor less than pro-
fessional highwayman he would
probably have been taken and jailed
within the hour, inasmuch as ais
cast for fortune included no well
wrought out plan of escape. But
since he was both wiser and less cum
ming than the journeyman bank rob-
Der, and was, moreover, hungry en-
thusiast who had argued himself
into the belief that his act was mere
ly illegal and not wrong, he threw
the police off the scent by doing that
which no criminal would have had
the nerve to do.
Once safely in the street, with the
package of bank notes under his
arm, he was moved to do some ex-
travagant thing celebrative of his
success. 1t had proved to be such
a simple matter, after all; one bold
stroke; small bloodless tussle with
the plutocratic dragon whose hold
upon his prey is so easily broken;
and presto! the hungry proletary is
himself power in the land, strong
to do good or evil as the gods may
direct.
This was the prompting to leyita-
tion as it might have been set in
words; but in Griswold's thought it
was but swift suggestion, followed
Immediately by another which was
much more to the purpose. He was
hungry; there was restaurant next
door to the bank. Without a
thought of the risk he ran, or of the
audacious subtlety of such an ex-
pedient at such n critical moment,
he went in, sat down at one of the
small tables and calmly ordered
