STRIKE LEADERS CONFER.
Mitchell in Secret Consultation With
 Unknown Party.

Philadelphia, Sept. 29.-President Mitchell and Secretary Treasurer Will son of the United Mine Workers arrived here at 7:30 o'clock this morning from Pittsburg They were met at the Penn sylvania railroad station by District Presidents Nichols, Fahy. and Duffy, of the three anthracite coal districts. After a hurried breakfast, the labor leaders went direct to the office of John John ]. Keegan business agent of the Machinists' International union. Later, President Mitchell went to the Hotel Walton unaccompanied by any of the other labor leaders.
 Soon after President Mitchell arrived at the Walton, Messrs. Wilson, Nich- oils, Fahy and Duffy were sent for, and joined him in an upper room of the hotel. The party remained in confer ence until nearly noon, when Wilson and the three district presidents came down in the elevator and hurried away from the hotel, refusing to talk to re- porters. They would say nothing about their future movements. MT. Wilson said to a reporter for the Associated Press that there is no indication of an early ending of the strike.
 Because of the fact that the Walton is the headquarters of state political leaders a rumor prevailed that there was a political significance in the con- ference. This was denied by MT. Will son, who said the meeting had nothing to do with politics.
 | MT, Mitchell left the Hotel Walton at 1 1:15 D. m., after being closeted with 1 some one in an upper room from a. 1 m, To all newspaper reporters he made the same reply: II have nothing to say" He would not tell the name of the person with whom he conferred, nor whether the conference was held with reference to a speedy ending of the strike. The name of no man who
 has publicly figured in the strike ap- peared upon the hotel register.
 The entire party left for Wilkesbarre | this afternoon
 1 At the office of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway company, it was stat
 ed positively that no official of that company had been present at the meeting.
 A member of MT. Mitchelrs party
 who declined to allow the use Of his
 name made the following statement:
 Anyone can readily understand that
 only matter of the first importance in relation to the strike would bring President Mitchell, Secretary Wllsoi and District Presidents Nichols, Duff!
 and Fahy who form the executive hoard of the United Mine Workers tt this city together There must neces sarily be continued conferneces witt the coal operatoring interests befor
 the strike can be settled"

New York, Sept 29.-An agreement to arbitrate their differences was made to- day between the Erie railroad officials and their dissatisfied ferry engineers. At a conference between the men and officials arbitrators were selected, and each side bound itself to abide by their decision. This fact, as emphasizing willingness of the railroad company to treat with it's employees, the Tribune will say tomorrow, Is most striking, in view of the Fries large interests in the anthracite coal fields.
 A series of letters which had passed between President F. D. Underwood and the engineers discussed fully the grievahces of the men as to hours of services and wages, and agreed to ar bitration. In the meantime the mem are at work.

HORSEBACK SPEAKS OUT.
STRONGLY CONDEMNS BRITISH
 VAR OFFICE.
Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Declares 1t Respon s!bie for the In- crease tm National ExpendIture- Drastic Reforms Necessary Officers Must be Made to Pay Attention 10 Their Duties.

Their Duties.
 London, Sept. 29.-Sir Michael Hicks Beach, the former chancellor of the ex- chequer, delivered speech at Bristol tonight in which he outlined the atti- tude of the government with respect to the opponents of the education bill, who had declared their refusal to carry out the provisions of the bill if it is enacted or to pay the rates required.
 Sir Michael said that the strongest non-conformist could not believe that parliament would abolish denomina- tional schools. That being so, the bill provided the only way of meeting the difficulty, namely, the extension of e'e- mentary education. The former chan cellor of the exchequer said that the bill might need some alteration, but if the matter was to be settled peaceably there must be no more threats of re- sistance to the will of parliament by local authorities, or by rate payers to the payment of rates If the local au- 1 thorities failed in their duty, said Sir Michael, parliament would entrust l their work to others, land the courts l know how to deal with those who, by | refusing to pay the rates, range them selves on the side of anarchy"
 I Sir Michael criticised the war office
 as chiefly responsible for the increase in national expenditure. He said the South l African war did not compare with the
 war in the Soudan in economy and effi- l ciercy and that there was necessity for 1 drastic reforms in the war office, on the
 military, however, rather than on the 1 civil side. He declared he had told his | colleague as much and that he intended
 to continue his warnings. They would l never reform the war office until they
 made the great mass of military officers | pay some attention to the duties of their profession as naval officers did and until they removed all outside in-
 fluences now interfering with the man. agement of the army as well as selec- l tions, appointments and promotions, | which never would be tolerated in the civil service.
 Sir Michael said he thought he could honorably relinquish his former office now that the finances of the country
 were in a more fIourishing condition and
 that there was @ prospect of reduction
 in taxation. He said, however, that he
 intended to continue awhile as member
 of parliament for West Bristol.

PROPOSITION VOTED DOWN
AT THE MEETING OF THE PRE-
 ERRED STOCKHOLDERS

s. Silver Compnuy's Pian-COmmit-
 tee Appoinfed to Take Care of the Pre-
 f.rred stockhoiters' Interests.
 A proposition looking to the absorp- ton of the International Silver compa- nv by a newly organized combine known as the United States Silver cor poration received yesterday setback by vote of the preferred stockholders of the International Silver company at a meeting held in the New Haven house yesterday afternoon.
 The stockholders of the International Silver company voted unanimously that in their opinion the proposition of the United States Silver company ought not to be accepted, and a committee will be appointed to protect the interests of the International stockholders"
 Some years ago a combination was effected of twenty-five or more large silver-plated ware manufacturing con- cerns, The concern, which took the name of the International Silver com pany, was capitalized at S20,000,000. It controlled practically the britannia (soft metaD silver-plated ware of America. By the terms of the combin- ation the preferred stock was to par ticipate first in dividends to tha exclu- sion of the common stock and common stock was not to carry voting privileges until several years had passed. Mean while this common stock is about to reach it's voting power. The Interna- tional Silver company. it is stated, was promoted and financed by New York | banking firm.
 Last spring it became known that large transactions had been made in the open market in New York and else | where in the common stock of the h. ternational Silver company, and that a controlling block of this common stock had passed into the hands of others than the managers and preferred stockholders of the company. Recent | ly a new silver company, known as tht
 United States Silver corporation, was organized in New Jersey with a capita
 of three millions of dollars. The New | York banking firm of Thomas & Thom as financed the organization. The new company secured control of c. Rogers
