When boats leave New York for Eu-
rope every day and boats leave Europe
Cor New York every day, at no time
will the ships travelling in the same d.

and doubtless the master minds that
planned the one boat a day system will
so arrange il that no ship hound west
will be more than 125 miles distant
from some ship bound east at any
time. The Interchange OF news from

can be flashed 10 the nearest vessel,

hours.

MINISTER PIoDA's FAREWELL.
Has Only Pleasant Things to Say of
His ExpeIience Here,

Mr. Pioda, the retiring Swiss minister,
called at the State Department today to
say farewell to the> Officials with whom he
has been SO long and pleasantly associated.
He will present his letters of recall to the
President in the course of day or two,
and, without awaiting the arrival in this
country of his successor, will sail on La
Savoie the 3Oth of this month for home.
Mr.. Pioda has achieved an unusual de-
gree of popularity during his stay In the
United States, and an evidence Of that fact
is to be found in the projected farewell re-
ceptiOn and dinner to be extended him by
his friends in New York before he sails.
The retiring minister does not leave the
diplomatic service, but is going to Rome to
act as Swiss minister there, relieving Mr..
Corlin, who is transferred to London. 1t
has been pretty well settled that Mr.. Bou-
cart, the present Swiss minister to London,
who has refused the appointment of IN MS
ter to Washington, will be placed upon the
waiting list Of the Swiss diplomatic service.
Mr.. Pioda was free in his expression of
regret at being obliged to leave the United
States, which had been a very pleasant
home for him for several years. He said
that his experience here had been of the
utmost value to him, and he wished that
every young man in his own country had
the opportunity to spend at least a short
time in the great republic for his education
and enlargement. He felt very grateful,
personally, to the American people for the
kindness which had been exhibited to him
on all sides, and particularly he felt it due
to the American press TO say that his rela-
tions with 1t have always been of the pleas
antest and the treatment accorded him had
always been strictly honorable.

NOT A CANDIDATE.
Representative Hepburn Not Seeking
the Speakership.

Representative Hepburn Of Iowa, in a let
ter to friend in this city, denies emphat-
ically the report that he will be candi-
Henderson. He realizes the impossibility
of an Iowa mans selection at this time,
and says that he has long ago learned the
futility of butting his head against stone
walls. Mr.. Hepburn also writes that there
is no office that he would rather have than
the speakership, that it would be a su-
preme honor, but that he realizes the use
lessness OF making the race.
1t will be recalled that MIR. Hepburn has
for years been the leader in movement
among republicans to change radically the
rules of the House in the direction of re-
storing to the individual member a larger
measure of opportunity. During republican
ascendency the democrats have always Of
fered to join with him in bringing the
change about, but as the code of rules is
settled in republican caucus the proposal of
such an alliance is fruitless. Mr.. Hepburn,
when taunted by the democrats that he
dare not break party lines and join with
them in bringing his reform about, has
usually replied that when they were in con-
troll of the House they did not see fit to be
influenced by his proposal, and therefore he
cannot aid them in overturning the will of
the dominant republicans, even though that
will is expressed in caucus in way which
he thinks mistaken.
Mr.. Hepburn's candidacy for the speaker
ship would naturally have been interpreted
as the candidacy of his platform. and
therefore would have invited prolonged dis
, cusSon, to say the least, He will doubtless
keep up the fight for the code which he has
so long advocated.

MITCHELL WILL NOT TALK,
Only Says It Will Take Convention to
Decide

By the Associated Press.
WILKESBARRE. Pa, October 14.-Presi-
dent Mitchell Of the Miners Union refuses
point blank to talk for publication atsthis
time on the new proposal for arbitration OF
the coal strike laid before President Roose-
welt last night by the presidents of the
ceai-earryinE railroads. No official infor-
NATION can be had as to his views. and he
himself does not know whether he will
make statement later in the day.
The news Of the new offer was variously
received by the striking miners Of the
region. 1t did not become known until well
IN the morning, and there were many diff
ferent views taken by the men.
There Is a large number of mine workers
who favor rejection Of the offer as fermu-
lated by the opera tors while there are
equally as many who see some good in the
oner. The miners, however, have the great
est confidence in the judgment of their
leader, and 1t is certain they will leave the
matter in his hands to work out.
Citizens Are Pleased.
The citizens of the region generally are
rejoicing at the new turn of affairs, and
feel confident that the step Just taken by
the operators will result in much good If
not speedy settlement of the great con-
f1ict.
President Mitchell received the news from
the representatives Of the press after l
o clock this morning. the moment 1t was
flashed here from Washington. He had
been informed by the correspondents that
conference was in progress in the White
House, and decided to wait to hear what
Its result would be. He Immediately re-
tired after learning of the arbitration offer
and refused to have anything to say. He
came down from his room at $50 o'clock
and was again taken in hand by the re-
pOrterS, but he once more refused to dis
cuss the proposition, saying he had not
read it.
Later in the morning, after he had read
the operators address to the public he told
the newspaper men that he did not know
whether he would have anything to say
during the day. His attention was called
to the assertion in the address that pos
sibly only one-half of those on strike are
members of the union and he also de-
clined to discuss this phase of the docu-
ment.
Regarded as Counter Proposition.
Comparing President MtchelPs offer
made to the President of the United States
ten days ago with that of the opera tors
made last night there are many persons
who look upon the operators offer as a
counter proposition and believe that the
miners will treat it as such.
Mr.. Mitchell's offer to the President was
that he should appoint the commission The
operators go that far and a step further by
stipulating that the members of the COM
mission must he selected from various oc-
cupatlonS or professions suggested by the
companies. Gossip at strike headquarters
showed that many miners were against the
new plan because no recognized representa-
tive Of the workmen is included in the op-
orators suggestions, unless he can be Sc
lected under the head of "a man of promi-
nence, eminent as a sOciologist.'

to learn that he is lying very seriously Ill
at his residence, HOS 9th street. His Won

he may yet rally and recover to continue
his literary work, and especially his valu-
able contributions to the history of his
times. ~
Notwithstanding his protracted illness.
his eyes are as bright and his mind as

He is Appointed Minister to
Greece.
DIPLOMATIC CHANGES
RETIREMENT OF MINISTER
CHARLES s. FRANCIS.
A Number Of Promotions in the serv-
ice Made in Consequence-Recog-
milton Of Merit.
DIPLOMATIC CHANGES

1t was announced at the State Depart
ment today that the President has made the
following appointments:
Mr.. Henry l.. Wilson, now minister to
Chile, to be minister to Greece in place of
Mr.. Charles s. Francis who has resigned.
Mr.. John B. Jackson, now first secretary
of embassy at Berlin promoted to be minis
ter to Chile In place of Mr.. Wilson.
Mr. H. Percival Dodge, now second secre-
tary of embassy at Berlin, promoted to first
secretary in place of Mr.. Jackson.
Mr.. r. s. Reynolds Hit, now third secre-
tary of embassy at Paris, promoted TO sec
ond secretary at Berlin In place of Mr..
Dodge
Mr. Peter Augustus Jay Of Rhode Island
appointed third secretary at Paris in place
of Mr.. Hit.
Hinged on One Vacancy.
All of these changes hinged on one va
cancy, namely, that caused by the retire.
ment from the diplomatic service of Mr..
Charles S. Francis as minister to Greece.
His resignation is received with genuine re-
gret at the State Department, where the
officials declare that he has been a most
efficient and painstaking minister, whose
loss will be felt in the service. Mr.. Francis
took the post originally from sentimental
considerations. His father had been minis
ter to Greece many years ago, and he.
Charles Francis, had lived in that country
as a boy, SO that he contemplated with
pleasure a return to the scenes of his youth.
His desires In that matter having been sat
isfied, however, and his business interests
connected with the Troy On. " Times, of
which he is editor and proprietor. seeming
to demand his presence at home, he has
been obliged to quit the diplomatic service.
1t was fully intended that Mr.. Wilson,
who succeeds Mr. Francis at Athens, should
have had a European post as far back as
last spring, but no proper opening offered
before this date. Even 1t is Mr.. Will
son sacrifices $500 year salary to Off
set the advantages of a residence in Eu-
rope, for his new post Is salaried at but
So, 500.
On the other hand, by leaving Europe for
South America, Mr.. Jackson increases his
salary from 81, ,62o to $4,000 per annum. He
nevertheless preferred a European post,
and IL is said that he will receive such
the future, for the department sets much
value on Mr.. Jacksons abilities.
The appointments in the minor places
in the line of diplomatic reform. which
Secretary Hay has marked out, In every
case, it IS said, the transfer Is made en-
tirey without regard to individual pres
influence, and solely upon the basis
of merit as shown in the work of the sec
retarieS.
Mr.. Hit, who goes to Berlin, is a son
of Representative Hit of Illinois, and Mr.
Jay, who is appointed at Paris, is a lineal
descendant of Mr.. John Jay, who was
President Washington's first Secretary of
State.
