HANNA: GIVES UP HOPE,
Ohio Senator Abandons Efforts to Set
tie the Anthracite Strike. :

Ohio Senator Abandons Efforts to Set
tie the Anthracite Strike. =
Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 25.-United
States Senator Marcus A. Hanna ar
rived at Buffalo during the day on his
way home to Cleveland from Niagara
Falls. For the first time Senator
Hanna. stated the final abandonment
OF all efforts to end the coal strike.
II have exhausted my efforts" said
Senator Hanna, 81 have done all in
my power; and can do no more. i
will make no further attempts, for it
would be useless
He said there was no chance of arbi-
tration so long as only one side, the
miners, was willing to arbitrate. He
gave it as his opinion that the miners
will not give in so long as they are
I able to fight. e. -
&, 1T will not be a short fight" said
he. 1T will be prolonged, and suoA
prolongati0n will mean not only hard
ships for the miners and the women
and children dependent on them, but 1t
will have its effect on the American
people. The longer this struggle con-
tinues the greater will be the increase
in the price OF coal z.sss.. ..s..
He said he considered thetrefusalso
the operators to arbitrate as final. Il
talked with Mr. Morgan before he
went to Europe" continued the sena-
tor, "and before the strike was fully
under way. He deplored the situation,
but would take no active part toward
a settlement. His attitude, in my
opinion, is unchanged" " H.
:. 1t was evident that Senator Hanna S
sympathies are with the miners, that
he has given up hope Of peaceful
settlement, and views with sorrow the
prolongations of the strike to the end
that seems inevitable. n r .;a =

BEEF TRUST HURT
GROCER'S CREDIT
BY SENDING BILLS C. o. D. ALL
WHOLESALE HOUSES THOUGHT
HIS CREDIT QUESTIONABLE AND
DEMANDED CASH.

Kansas CITY, Mo-, May 3O-W. T. Reed.
an attorney, is taking dispositions to be
used by George M. Tucker, butcher and
retail grocer of Argentine, Kan, in dam
age suits against several packing houses
of this city and Kansas City, Kan. Tuck
er alleges that until about year ago his
meat bills had been marked 20. X" as
he paid them promptly; but according to
his story, in May of last year Cudahys
representative failed to present the usual
statement on Wednesday. The bill came,
but not the statement. Tucker called for
the statement. 1t Uame the next morning,
but that was Thursday, and the packing
house rule is that all bills must be paid
each Wednesday for the week previous.
Tucker sent In his check but 1t was re-
turned without presentation at the bank
and he had to pay cash.
The next day each meat bill came with
a star stamped on 1t. The star means
that the dealer whose bill 1t appears on
must pay cash on receipt of the meat or
the driver must take 1t back. Tucker
says every bill that came from every
packing house In the city had the same
star on 1t. and he had to pay cash at
once. The second day every wholesale
house in the city received information
that his credit was bad and demanded
payment of biIls that called for cash in
sixty days, but had been running, some
of them, not more than week.

lines heretofore sketched by Lord Sails
bury. the premier. who said "a resolute
government might be required for gen.

Referring to the present nnancial pol

thought the tax on corn was tt prelude
to a sort of zollverein throughout the
empire lie said he could net summarily
dismiss and proposal FOR the closer un-
ion of the British empire, puJ that the
advantages must be demopstrably great
to justify such a departure as a zoll-

departure would mean the g1vIng up of
the eontcol of Great Britains financial
system to the British colonies.

that peace In South Africa has been Sc
cured and that the settlement between
the Beers and Great Britain will be
signed with the names of the former
presidents Of the two South African Re
publics who are now in Europe, including
Mr.. Kruger, thus preventing the irreoon-

Rosebery Confident.
London, May S0.-Speaking at Leeds to-
night Lord Rosebery advised the leaders
of the liberal party to postpone the an
nouncement Of the programmes until
there was some immediate prospect of
getting them carried out.
Lord Rosebery said the first and great
est question before the public was peace,
which he believed would be announced in
a few days. He said he hoped that all
might be able to support the govern
ment's policy of pacification but warned
his hearers that the ministry was not
concluding peace with crushed foe, to
whom no further attention need be paid
The speaker said he hoped the govern
ment would be wise enough to adopt a
generous policy and convert the brave
foes into brave friends. This certainly

Two Men Reported Drowned-Train
Service to Lawton Abandoned.

Guthrie, o. T.. May 30.-High waters
throughout Oklahoma continue to do
great damage. Two men are reported to
have been drowned In Cache creek, in
the new county, by the flooded stream
which has inundated the Rock Island
tracks to such a degree that all train
service into Lawton has been abandoned.
This is the same state of affairs on the
Choctaw Railroad into Ardmore, the
train service being abandoned for one
week and the bridges over the Washita
and Tusohee washed away. It is still
raining and a further rise In the Cana
liam river Is expected.
The high waters have deprived the
towns in the inland portion of the terri
tory of mail facilities for over two
weeks. and the postoffices are becoming
congested. The passengers on the Santa
Fe train south from Guthrie, refused to
cross the roaring waters of the Washita.
They left the train and remained at
Daugherty, I. T., over night The water
has almost surrounded the station and
tracks there.
