BRITISH TRADE SUFFERS.
KEPT BY THE TARIFF FROM SUPPLY

London, Nov u, ! a. m.-Yorkshire manu-
facturers continue to complain Of declining trade
with the United States. While there has been
meagre gain of $103.500 in exports from Leeds
to the United States during the last twelve
months compared with 1901. it can be explained
by shipments of wool and iron rather than by
an Improvement in the wOollen trade or metal
manufactures. The Bradford district, whose
prosperity depends largely upon a brisk trade
with the United States, is disappointed Win
the result of the present tariff. and the manu-
facturers are forced to admit that the American
market is now mainly supplied with home goods.
Huddersfield has suffered less than Bradford,
since IT exports to New York the finest qualities
Of worsted and woollen goods but its manu-
facturers find cause for complaining in the
shrinkage OF the American demand The textile
trades of Leeds are suffering from the same
cause. and merchants are forced to send their
goods TO other markets which not supplied
with home manufactures. Exports of machin-
cry steel rods and iron from Leeds TO the United
States have fallen during the last quarter even
from the low level of the preceding year 1t is
difficult TO convince Yorkshire merchants,
either in the textile metal trades, that the
American tariff since il reconstructed the
last time has stimulated home production and
operated against British industries. Inc gen
eral efficiency of that tariff a defensive meas
ure for reserving the home market for home
manufacturers tempts many among them to ex-
press dissatisfaction with the prevailing condi-
tions of one-sided English free trade without
reciprocity from any colony except Canada

PRESIDENTIAL CRUTCH
is LAID ASIDE
Mr.. Roosevelt Not Only Walks the
Streets, but Walks Without
Limp.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 15.-
President Roosevelt went out socially
tonight for the first time since the op
Grafton was performed on his leg at
Indianapolis. 1t. also was the first time
he had walked in public. His leg ap-
parently has recovered a large meas
ure of it's strength and he no longer
has to use a crutch. No limp Is OBJ
servable. The president. after his con-
ference with President Mitchell, went
out for drive through the suburbs.
1t lasted about two hours.
On his return he donned his dress
suit and about s o'clock left the tenn
porary White house on Jackson place
and walked over to Secretary Hays,
where he had accepted an invitation
to dine informally with a few friends.
The two houses are about block and
half apart, one facing west on La
fayette park, and the other having
south front on the same park. The
president remained at the secretary's
until nearly 10 o'clock, returning afoot.
Apparently there was no difficulty in
his movements, though his pace was
not rapid. as Is customary On reach
ing his temporary home he went up
stairs and at once plunged into the
strike problem that is absorbing al
most all his time, and energy

DISCUSSING TRANSFER
OF DANISH ISLANDS
Premier Deuntser Gives Arguments in
Favor of the Ratification of
the Treaty.

COPENHAGEN, Oct. Is. - The
landsthing today began the discussion
Of the treaty providing for the ces-
sion of the Danish West Indies to the
United States. Premier Deuntser de-
clared that in responsible quarters it
was now clear there were two alterna-
tiVes, either the cesSion of the islands
or an increase of the already heavy
expenditure necessary for their MAIN
tenance and development. The sacri-
fees under the latter alternative would
be extremely great, and on one could
guarantee a happy issue for the ISL
ands.
If the landsthing did not reject the
cession unconditionally, the premier
period allowed for the ratification Of
the treaty until the matter was ar
ranged provided the United States de-
sired its prolongation. The premier
said he had received the written prom
ise Of the United States government
that after the cesSion free imports
from the islands into the United
States would be granted.
He would not consent to a pie
biscite before the ratification, but
would do so after the treaty had been

tance of an early ratification, owing
to the miserable economic condition of
the islands, and said it was due to the
United States that the house should
reach a definite decision now. The
premier discred1ted the private prom
ises to help the islands, and said the
prestige of the Danish government
would in no way suffer by the transfer.
There were other speeches for and
against the treaty, and the measure
then passed It's first reading. Two
anti-sale members were sick, and the
house is so closely divided that their
presence or absence may affect the
final vote, which will take place Oct.

MITCHELL HEARS THE NEWS.
Miners President Still Very Chary of
His Words

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. 16.-
President Mitchell arrived here from
Washington at 1875 this morning. He
was met at the railroad station by Ma
tional Secretary Wilson. The press
bulletins of the outcome Of the Wash
ington conference that the strike was
settled were read to him while he was
surrounded by a small army of news
paper men. He was Immediately con-
graduated, and in reply for a state
ment said:
"Your congratulations should be
withheld until we see who the six rep
resentatives on the commission are.
I understood before left Washington
that there would be sixth man and
that he would represent labor. The
whole matter will be placed before the
joint meeting Of the three executive
boards of the anthracite region at
their meeting at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. I will wait UP to see the full
statement issued by Mr.. Cortelyou."
In reply to the question whether he
would comply with the presidents re-
quest that coal mining be resumed i'm
mediately, he said he would make
more definite answer when he knew
more about the matter. The news that
a common ground of agreement has
been reached Is sure to be received
with great rejoicing throughout the
entire region.

PROPOSES A LONG
AIRSHIP JOURNEY
Santos Dumont VIII Travel From
Paris to San Francisco if $780,
o0o Is Put Up.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-Ex- Mayor Phe-
Ian, of San Francisco, who arrived at
London tonight from the continent,
said today that M. Santos Dumont,
with whom Mr.. Phelan dined yester-
day evening, is about to make an offer
to travel from Paris to San Francisco
by airship.
Santos Dumont," said Mr.. Phelan,
asks that a prize Of 100000 be put
up. This sum, however, will be paid
over only in case the trip shall be sue
cessful. The aeronaut undertakes to
pay all his expenses and he is already
at work building a new airship for this
purpose. He seems entirely confident
of achieving his object. He ridicules
the difficulties of so long a trip and
not only believes he has got a chance
of completing this transoceanic and
transcontinental air journey, but that
there will be found a sufficient number
of contributors to make up the purse
that he asks as a reward. His earnest
ness and the apparent practicability
of his plans greatly impressed meS'

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 16.-The
great anthracite coal strike is settled
at last.
A commission Of six persons, with a
seventh. Carroll D. Wright as recorder,
will adjust the differences between the
operators and miners. President
Mitchell, of the Miners union, will take
the necessary measures to call the
strike off. The president will urge the
immediate resumption of mining and
operations are expected to begin next
week.
The announcement that the great
strike was off was made by Secretary
Root with exuberant good humor at
the White house shortly after o'clock.
Organized labor has a representative
on the commission in the person Of E.
E. Clark, grand chief of the Order Of
Railway Conductors, named as a So
ciolcgist. The president added Bishop
Spalding, Of Illinois, to the list Of the
five members suggested by the opera
tors.
Commission Satisfactory to Both.
AS named, the commission is per-
fectly satisfactory to both miners and
operators. The assent Of the miners
was given through President Mitchell
and MI. Sargent, commissioner of i'm
migration. and Of the operators through
Messrs. Bacon and George F. Perkins,
of the banking firm Of J. P. Morgan
& Co.
The final outcome followed a series
of conferences, beginning with two
during the day with Mr.. Mitchell, and
two during the night with Messrs. Ba-
con and Perkins. Events moved quick
ly at the last, the president being de-
termined on speedy settlement.
The commission will assemble in a
few days and choose a chairman, prob
ably Gen. Wilson. 1t then will arrange
for sessions and testimony.
