was killed on the first days hunt
OF the presidential party and de-
sire to know if it were IL Repub-
lican bear on the farm, OF rather
the Suniiower. We must con-
fess ignorance as to the politics
of the beast. but we can say that
the Associated Press dispatches,
sent by a correspondents on the
spot, said the bear was in bad
health and was tied to a tree at
the time the President turned
down his thumb and Mr.. John
M. Parker, acting upon the sig
nal. administered the coup de
grace with his snickersnee.
The stroke was directly under
the fifth rib and the President
applauded the artistic manner
in which the blow was given.
There is suspicion, however,
rapidly ripening into conviction
that the emaciated bear thus
slain had previously been pur-
chased from Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers consolidated circus
which had given entertain ments
at points on the Mississippi
Valley Railroad adjacent to the
lovely town of Smedes only Il
few days before the Presidents
camp was pitched, and that the
purchase was made in order to
make sure that the party would
have bear meat for their Sunday
dinner. This may be true or
not: we cannot say. We only
know from the press dis
patches that the president
takes his i1l-luck gOOdna-
turedly, and says it is simply
the fortune of the chase" But
we opine that the President
feels down in the bottom Of his
heart he was made the victim Of
a foul Hibernian trick when he
was adrOitly stuffed with the
idea that roaring brown bears
were thicker in the SuntiOWer
bottom during the month of No
VEN Der than cram berries in Mas
sachusetts, and all be had to do
was to blaze away with his deadly
Winchester until he had killed
bears enough to enable him to
present every Hepu blican in
Congress- with a bearkSin over
coat and thus clamp the nominal
ton in 1904.
We have not heard that the
president has been invited to
have another bear hunt in the
same locality at some future
time, and. we are strongly in
clined to believe the forest
shades of the sweet SuntiOwer
that have seen him once will see
him no moreno more. In the

'nund to be charged with gas from
melted lead connection, and mo-
ment later an explosion occurred, en-
veloping the men in flames and blow
ing out the front Of the store over

REPLY OF Mr.. BAER,
The Demand for Increased Wages
BY Miners Declared Unjust
Nine WORKERS UNION DENOUNCED.
The President Of the Philad elphia 4 Raad-
Ing Company Says Conditions Have Been
lntolersble Since Advent Of Miners
Organization into the Fields.

Washington, Nov. 12.-President
Baer, of the Philadelphia & Read.
ing Coal and Iron company, has filed
with the anthracite coal strike COM
mission the reply Of that company
to the demands made by John Mitch
ell, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, concerning the
points involved in the anthracite coal
strike. Mr.. Baer makes no refer
ence to Mr.. Mitchell as the president
OF the miners organization, but re-
fers to him simply as an individual.
Following is brief summary Of the
response to Mr.. Mitchell's other spec
ifications: The demand for 20 per
cent. increase in wages on piece work
is denounced as Arbitrary, unreason-
able and unjust" The company con-
tends that after making all necessary
allowance for different conditions the
rate of wages paid for mining Of an
thracite coal is as high as that paid
in the bituminous coal fields. The
company denies that the present rate
of wages Is lower than is paid In
other occupations in the same local
ity and controlled by like conditions.
The company pronounces as unjust
and ihequitable thesdemand for a re-
duction Of 20 per cent. in hours Of
labor without q reduction Of earnings
for time employed and this demand is
pronounced impracticable.
Because Of the injury to the mines
by the strike Of the United Mine
Workers, the cost Of producing coal
has been greatly increased and
temporary advance in price was
made, but it will be impracticable to
continue such increase when mining
operations become normal. Mr.. Baer
says since the advent of the United
Mine Workers organization into the
anthracite fields business conditions
there have been intolerable; that the
output Of the mines has decreased;
that discipline has been destroyed;
that strikes have been of almost
daily occurrence; that men have
worked when and as they please, and
that the cost Of mining has been
greatly increased. He also takes the
position that the jurisdiction Of the
commission is limited to the condi-
tions named by the coal company
presidents which Excludes the United
Mine Workers from any recognition
in the proceeding. He says, however,
that when labor organization lin
tied to anthracite workers is created
which shall obey the law, respect the
right of every man to work and
honestly cooperate with employers,
trade agreements may become prac-
ticable."

TIE NASCAGNI CASE.
Italy Likely 70 Make IN International
Matter Of the Treatment Of the Noted
Musician In Amsrics.

Rome, Nov. l3.--According to the
Tribuna, Italy purposes to make an
international matter Of the arrest in
Boston Of Mascagni The Tribuna
says:
"Mascagni has telegraphed Premier
Zanardelli requesting the interven-
ton of the Italian government to
protect him from the vexatious treat
ment Of which he says he has been
a victim in America. Signor lamar
delli replied to the musician, assur-
ing him of the interest taken in his
case by the government and inform
ing him that he would request Sig
nor Prinetti, minister of foreign ar
fairs, to take up the matter. Signor
prinetti Immediately took up Mas
cagni's case
Signor Prinetti is awaiting the re-
ceipt of a report from the Italian
embassy at Washington before act
ing in the affair. United States Am
bassador Meyer has not been asked
for an explanation, although he dined
with members of the foreign office
Tuesday night.
The charge Of apathy brought by
Mascagni against the Italian consul
at Boston is regarded here as with
out justification and an outcome OF
the musicians ignorance Of the fact
that an Italian in the United States
Is entirely subject to American laws.

The Colombian Warship, which IL Manned
By Americans, Kills Every
Enemy In sight

Panama, Nov. 13.-The first Ameri-
can casualties as a result Of the revo-
luton occurred Tuesday. The Co.
lombian feet captured a boat hav-
ing on board correspondence showing
the whereabouts of two revolution
airy schooners loaded with provisions.
The government warships headed for
the place and on arriving there the
Bogota formerly the Jessie Ban
ning), manned by an American crew
commanded by Capt. Marmaduke,
lowered two boats with armed men,
but as the schooners were aground
they waited until high tide to attack
them. In the meanwhile the revolu-
tionists were discovered in ambush
close to the beach and, when the b.
gota's boats pulled ahead the second
time, the rebels opened fire on them,
killing one ships armorer, Richard
Kane, Of Washington, and wounding
George Walker, who was shot
through the legs. A seaman named
Clarke and Lieut. Wasquez were also
wounded, but not seriously. The b.
gotta and Chucuito then opened fire
on the enemy and killed every man in
sight. One shot fired at group of
ten rebels, who were most actively
engaged in shooting at the boats
crews, killed every one of them.
Gunner Cross, Of the Bogota, thinks
that from 40 to so rebels were killed.
One Of the schooners, the Helvetia,
loaded with rice, was captured, but
the first shot at the second schooner
set her on fire and she was complete
ly destroyed with her cargo. Gunner

New York, Nov. 12-Roland B.
Molineux was set at liberty yester.
day after spending nearly four years
in prison and being once condemned
to death and twice placed on trial for
his life for the murder Of Mrs. Kath-
arine j. Adams. But 10 minutes suf-
feed for the jury to reach verdict
Of acquittal at the close of a trial
that had lasted four weeks, the first
trial, which resulted in Molineux's
conviction and sentence, having been
prolonged for about three months.
The verdict, which was confidently
anticipated, was greeted with an in
stantly suppressed outbreak Of AT
plause, Justice Lambert having de-
livered a stern admonition that no
demonstration would be permitted.
Molineux, who was brought into
court as soon as it was known that
the. jury had agreed, was apparently
as unconcerned as he has been
throughout the trial and gave NO
evidence of emotion when the words1
that established his innocence were
pronounced. His aged father, Gen.
Molineux, was deeply affected and
could with difficulty respond to tho
greetings Of friends who pressed for

Immediately after the rendering Of

CHALLENGED TO A DUEL.
Battle with Him with . Sword,
Gun or Pistol

St. Louis, Nov. 12.-Peter ArMnd
a promoter Of Louisville, Ky, yester-
day challenged Col. M. C. Wetmore,
millionaire and former tobacco mag
nate, to duel. Sunday night Arlund
and Wetmore had some difficulty in
the lobby Of the Planters, during
which blows were exchanged. The
challenge to a duel is the result Of
that alteration. Arlund, in the
challenge which was mailed to Col.
Wetmore, states that he is not an
American citizen, but lieutenant
Of the Danish army, and demands
that Col. Wetmore do battle with him
with a sword, gun or pistol. Nothing
has been learned from Col. Wetmore
regarding the challenge.
