BOUGHT NO BONDS
Secretary Shaw Rejected All Offers
Made Under His Proposition as
Prices Asked by Holders Were Not
Satisfactory.

Washington, Oct. 15.-On September
26th last, Secretary Shaw issued no
tice to the effect that the department,
would purchase any of the United
States per cent bonds of 1904 at $1.O5
flat, if presented on or before October
Is. Under that offer the secretary has
purchased tiyes to the amount of $33,-
600. Some days after this notice was
issued the secretary announced offers
for sale of government threes and fours
would be considered by the department
but intimated that prices must be low
if sales We're made. The offers under
this announcement have been rejected
Secretary Shaw is now on his way to
Oakland City, Ind, where he will de-
liver political speech tomorrow.
When questioned in regard to the
statement that the secretary was plan .
ming to purchase a large block Of
bonds, the treasury officials now here
declined, in the secretary's absence, to
discuss the matter further than to sa.
the report was probably without foun-
dation. The fact that the secretary has
SO far declined all bond offers is take1.
as conclusive that he is nos, at presen

good, and when the ship got in he was
a favorite with everybody on board,

GET COLD RECEPTION.
Germany Discourasins Big Reception
"a the Beers,

Berlin, Germany, Oct .15.-General
Botha has telegraphed the reception
committee that the Boer generals VIII
arrive here Thursday, but as their
presence is necessary in England they
must leave Berlin on Saturday. The
government is discourasing the Boer
reception committee in various ways.
The police will not permit the pro-
posed procession to pass thru the
Rrandenburger gate, doubtless because
it is near the British embassy. The
bill posters who have a monopoly on
the citys advertising on the pillars
have broken their contract and refuse
to put up any more placards adver-
Using the reception OF the Beers. lt
is intimated that the reason is that
they received a secret hint from the
police to cease advertising the enter
tainment. The government seems de-
termined to prevent the slightest DEM
onstrations that might be construed as
offensive to Great Britain.

coMPERs' VIEW OF 1t.
President Not Given Free Hand in the
Selection Of tho Commission.

Washington, Oct. 15.-President
Gompers of the American Federation Of
Labor, with whom Mitchell has been in
constant communication and consulta-
ton, declined all requests of the news
papers for the expression of an opinion
on the proposition Of the coal Operat-
ors, but last night stated his view to the
Associated Press.
Gompers said: You can readily un-
derstand that want to leave this
whole matter in the hands of Mitchell
and his colleagues. am particularly
anxious not to say anpthing that might
be construed otherwise. will say that
in my opinion the proposition of the
operators, at least SO far as their desig-
nation OF who should be invited to go
on the commission of arbitration. is
concerned, is an insult to the president
Of the United States desire that the
the selection of the personnel of the
commission. BY inlirection it would
seem from the operators proposition
that the president has evil designs on
the mine owners. No one believes this.
The operators indicate what cl;lss of,
men should be selected for the person
they say an expert mining engineer, eX-
perienced in the mining OF coal and
other minerals and not III any way con-
nccted with coal mining properties,
shall be one of the members. In other
words, this one must be an expert miner
out of job. This member must either
have been employed i'll mines as an
expert or must expect or hope to oe|
employed In the future as an expert.
Another must be an eminent sociologist.
Well, who must he be? A speculative
sociologist. theorist or what? An-
other is to be some man actively par
ticipating in the mining and selling of
coal and familiar with the commercial
as well as the physical part tf the
business. This must certainly be one OF
the operators or one OF .hei1 represent
atives. No other man familiar with tile
commercial features of the business i'll
those fields fits that description.
"In the classes of persons from whom
the mine owners prescribe that the
commission shall b,. selected there is 20
be not single representative OF the
man who digs the coal, the man who
works in and about the mine.
"Now as matter OF fact the entire
question of the selection and appoint
ment of the commission should be left
to the president of the United States.
Mitchell has said that he will he per-
fectly satisfied with whomever the
president selects. If tbesmine owners
are to be permitted to suggest who shall
constitute the arbitration commission
why in all fairness should 1t not follow
that Mitchell should likewise be per-
nnitted to make suggestions as to the
personnel of the commission? hope
the president will decline to act on this
proposition OF the mine owners unless
he is given free hand.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Bulletin: There

ident be given free hand in the selec-

that the wording be changed SO as to

President Roosevelt today Mitchell
gave no intimation that he was going
until he left headquarters to go to the
station. It is believed the trip was de-
cided upon last night after he gave to
che press his statement to the effect
that the operators arbitration plan was
not addressed to him and that he did
not know how the miners would re-
ceive Il. No Information can be had
here as to what particular phase Of the
operators proposal is Objectionable.
The president has summoned him, 1t is
believed, to get his views on the new
plan. It is known here the proposition
In It's present form is not entirely sat
4sfactory to Mitchell. Some local
leaders are OF the opinion Mitchell is
willing to accept modified plan, one
that will give the miners an equal rep
Tcsenta ton on the commission (. The
strikers feel the arbitration scheme, as
1t now stands, is not fair to them.
Mitchelfs departure for Washington
has again raised hopes that the end of
the strike is near. It is their opinion
THAT President Roosevelt and he will
come to some understanding which will
Result ia q speedy closing up Of negcti-
ations. TIE superintendent of coal
has agin raised hopes that the end of
companies in this vicinity reported to-
day that no additional men had re-
turned to work today and that they

As negotiations for arbitration are in

SHAW SPEAKS IN BALTIMORE
Prosperity Of the Country Declared
Due to Protective Policy.

DUO TO FEOI0CSlVS
Baltimore Md, Oct. 15.-Secretary
of the Treasury Shaw was the, chief
speaker last night at the republican
ratification and mass meeting at Music
hall. From Baltimore he will start on
a tour Of the west, which will las
until election day. He will speak In
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan. Minnesota,
Iowa. and Nebraska. In his speech
tonight Secretary Shaw said In part:
"Our democratic friends are ever ex-
tending sympathy to the oppressed
taxpayer They have more than once
made campaign upon the naked is
sue-the tariff Is tax. Again and
again they have declared that there
should be no more revenues collected
than are necessary for the maintenance
OF the government, economically ad-
ministered.
.I am not surprised that our friends
wonder at the apparent ease with
which, under protective policy, reven-
ues are provided. The secret is in the
consuming capacity Of the American
people.
Our deficit in 1894" said Mr.. Shaw,
was, in round numbers. ninety mil
lions. Why? Because we didn't inn
port. Why did we not import? Because
we did not consume. And why did we
not consume? Because the very ener-
gies of our people were frozen with
fear when there was ratified at the polls
that old democratic doctrine that pro-
lection is both unwise as a policy and
unconstitutional as principle"
