President Holds a Late Conference.
About ten o'clock President Roose-
velt re'entered the White House, ac-
companied by Secretary Root, and
they immediately re-embarked on con-
sideraHon of the settlement of the coal
strike. Later a stranger called, an
yefing to the description of one of
Er! Mofgan's partners, and was shown
Fat onceSinto the room where the Presi-
dent was by Secretary Cortelyou. At
11.53 o'clock Messrs. Sergeant and
Wright returned to the White House,
and were shown into Secretary Cortel-
you's Office, their visit being in accor-
dance with an understanding when
they left about 8 o'clock that they
should return later in the evening.
The frst-sign of break up of the
conference was at 1855, when Secre-
tary Cortelyou came from the confer
ence room and announced to the wait
ing newspaper men that an official
statement on the strike situation would
be made public in about half an hour.
Shortly after o'clock Secretary Root
came out and spread the glad tidings
that common ground of agreemen
between the operators and miners had
been reached and that the strike was
practically ended. 1t was learned a
few moments later that the chief fea'
ture of the agreement was the addition
of sixth member to the arbitration
commission, the surmise following, as
q matter of course, that the additional
member would be more particularly 6
representative of labor.
1t was said at the same time tina
now an agreement had been arrived
at. as to the means OF determining thu
differences that the President woulC
insist on an immediate resumption o
work at the mines, and that he haC
reason to expect his advise would b.
followed very promptly. Messrs. Ba
con and Perkins, partners in Mr.. Pier
pont Morgan's banking firm, wer
present at the final conference as th
representative Of the operators. Whe
the gathering broke up all preser
were in high, good humor, and ther
was a general exchange of congratult
ffions.

a LOUISA MANS EXPERIENCE.
When He Came to His Senses En-

That Mr. Gibson, merchant OF Louisa
county. who is visiting Mr.. Julian Z.
smith No $40 west Marshall street. is not
a mangled corpse, the result OF having
been run over by a. railroad train last
night. is mystery which now confronts
him and mis- friends we'll.
Mr.. Gibson was walking up Marsnali
street and he remembers stopping in front
of house No. 1903 and looking up at it.
From then on his mind is blank until
he was aroused by the ringing of an en-
cine bell and rea,lzed mat he was sitting
or railroad track he crawled off not a
moment too soon to be missed by the
passing train.
Appreciation of his danger brought him
to his senses all he sat up on the bank
and began to feel his head. men it was
discovered that he was badly cut just
above the right eye and was bleeding
profusely.
He got up and waIhed to DR.. Lattimers
office where the doctor patched the head.
Then he went to the Third Police Station
and reported the matter. He was perfect
ly sober. in fact, he is a man who does
not drink and --e cannot think Of any
explanation of IS condition. unless it be
LA. he was attacked by footpads or hac
a fainting spell. The former is improba-
BILE, since he has his money and watch.
How he got to the track and what hap
pened is a mystery.

MISSION BOARD ANNIVERSARY.
Address of DR.. c. f. Reid at Broad
Street Last Night.

Last night the anniversary of the Mis-
sion Board was celebrated at the Broad
Street church. AS on the previous night.
the church was packed to hear the adj
Dress of DR.. C. F. Reid. representing
the Board of Foreign Missions at Nash
Vile
Dr. Reid discussed the partition of Chi
ma by the European powers in graphic
style. He told the history of the en-
many. and Russia upon the Celestial EN-
pire in running narrative full of life
and interest sprinkled here and there
with incidents that came under his OBJ
residency in China He told about the
part played by the United States in block
ing the game of the European powers,
and showed what was the real meaning
of the spheres of influence in China
claimed by European governments that
was the cause of SO much diplomatic con-
troverSy some years ago
Dr. Reid defended the Chinese in their
hostility to foreigners on the ground that
China had been SO seriously injured by
the opium trade inaugurated by the
usurption of authority by foreigners that
when a missionary came to the country
he was looked upon as foreign devil
without any discrimination as to his pur-
pose.
DR. Reid treated his subject purely from
a political and social aspect. and the large
audience gave him the closest attention
throughout the evening.
After the address. Rev. Mr. Beauchamp
announced that the regular collection
would be taken up for the benefit of mis-
sions to be divided equally between home
and foreign missions.

LAME JUSTIFICATION.

Gov. Jeff Davis used whole
page in his organ, the Little
Rock Gazette, last Sunday, in
which to lambast Senator Jones.
In the close of the article he says
the following which is offored as
a justification of his couduct:
To call these matters to the
office of the people will require
labor at my hands and consume
time that the public may assume
is necessary to the dispatch of
public business. In measure
the latter is true. Ii the sole
function Of a governor were to
pardon criminals and appoint
notaries and other petty officers,
it might be literally true that he
could employ all his time listen
ing to the appeals incident to
these matters. But in a large
sense, he has resting upon him
duty that is paramount to these
the politics of the people of the
state, and of the party to which
his election is due, take practical
shape and direction in large part
through his action. In the de-
velopment into law of these poll
cies, when obstacles are encount-
cred that are wrongfully inter-
posed to the accomplishments If
the public will, then. go -cnor
