"THE STRIKE WILL END"
SO Asserts President Bner, but He
Don't Say when.

New York. Sept. 23.-The usual
weekly meeting of the directors of the
Temple Iron Company was held. here
to-day. There were present when the
meeting began President Baer of the
Philadelphia and Reading, and other
coal road presidents; John Markle and
others.
In the forenoon Mr.. Markle went to
j. p. Morgan's Office and had a long
conference with Mr.. Morgan. When
leaving Mr.. Markle was asked If the
conference had anything to do with the
coal strike. He refused to say what the
nature of his business had been.
Later at the office of President Baer,
Mr.. Markle was asked whether 1t is
true, as President Mitchell of the Unit
ed Mine Workers said yesterday, that
no licensed miners had returned to
work in the mines since the strike be-
gan last May
That is absolutely false" Mr..
Markle answered. There are several
hundred certified miners at work to-
day cutting COAL
Regarding the situation in the anth-
racite fields, President Baer said that
every day showed larger proportion
of striking miners returning to work
When asked how much longer he
thought the strike would last, he said:
81 am not prophet. The strike will
end. That is the one thing we may all
be certain Of But / will not attempt
to say when it will end"

MORO POSITION STRONG.

Capt. Pershing Delays Before Max
ing Intended Attack.
Manila, Sept. 23.-Capt ]. ]. PERISH
ing of the Fifteenth Infantry, operat-
ing against the Moros in the Island of
Mindanao, has found the Moro posi-
tion at Macin, Island of Mindanao, to
be strong, and has delayed his attack
on it. He must throw a pontoon
bridge across a swamp and possibly
receive reinforcements before engaging
the enemy. The captain made a recon-
noissance close to the Moro position
and found fort on an elevation close
to the lake shore f1anked by swamps,
virtually making the promontory an
island. The Americans built RATS pre-
paratory to attacking the Moros from
the lake and then decided to bridge
the swamp and make an attack from
all sides. The sultans of Macin re-
gard the position as impregnable and
have refused to treat with Capt. PERISH
ing.
Brig. Gen. Samuel S. Sumner will
send the Moros an ultimatum demand
ing peace and the return of stolen
property. If his demands are rejected
the place will be assaulted. Capt. Per-
shing has carefully examined the DO
sition and its surroundings and is con-
fldent of his ability to capture it with
out serious loss.
Capt. Pershing has returned to Camp
Wears. from whence he reports that

R0UMANIAN MATTER
MITIGATION OF JEWS CONDITION
PRESENTS DIFFICULTIES.
SENTIMENTAL ACTION ONLY
1T IS BELIEVED WILL MARK
COURSE OF POWERS,

To Achieve Any Practical Results in
Benefiting the Jews Is Now Believ-
ed in European CircuIes to BE
without the Bounds of Probability.
Externally, However, the NegOtia-
tons Will Continue and Secretary
Hay Hopes Yet to Form a Joint
Note of the Berlin Signatories.
London, Sept. 23.-''Nothing that will
be of any permanent good can result
from Secretary Hays note to the Pow
ers on Roumania's treatment of Jews
unless somebody is willing to crush
Roumania and no Power seems anxious
to take OH that task
The foregoing quotation from the ut
terances of an experienced British
official represents the real opinion of
the British foreign office on the subject
of the negotiations between America
and Europe and represents it with a
terse aightforwardness which is not
likely to figure in the guarded, diplo-
matte replies which Mr.. Hays note will
eventually produce.
that Great Britain's backing up of the
United States in the Roumanian mat
ter has only produced evidence that
the signatories of the Berlin treaty alb
solutely refuse to take other than
merely sentimental action towards al
leviating the persecution of the Jews.
The exchange of views regarding the
Of fnH Nv I1R.i
tain has progressed sufficiently to con-
vince the foreign office here that moth
ing material is likely to result. To
achieve more than promises from Rou-
mania it is believed a Downing street.
and apparently in the foreign offices
of the other capitals interested that
nothing short of a combined display
of force would be necessary. ,Insur-
mountable obstacles appear to make
such a step impossible. According TO
official statements, the British foreign
office has also received every indica-
ton of willingness on the part of sew
eral continental governments to seize
the opportunity of conveying to the
United States government the intima
ton that it is interfering in matters
which do not concern it, as various
semi-official newspapers of the Euro
pean capitals have put it.
United States Ambassador Choate
has given up his holiday in Scotland,
and returned to London to-day. He
is likely to spend the next few days
in dealing with the Roumanian mat
ter. The information CLEANED from
British diplomats or part of it would
be unofficially communicated to Mr..
Choate for transmission to Washing
ton.
The hopelessness privately entertain
ed by the British foreign office of
effecting change of position on the
part of the Roumanian government
will not be allowed to interfere with
the external course of the negotiations,
and there is still reason to believe that
Mr.. Hays protest may result in a
formal joint note of the Berlin sig
natories demanding better treatment
of the Jews. Regarding that point,
however, nothing is definitely settled,
but if it is done, it will be more in a
spirit of acquiescence with the hui
name sentiments expressed in Mr..
Hays appeal than to belief that good
will be accomplished.

New York, Sept 23.-The local

considerable interest to-day. Money

lending of money by individuals and

of their bank balances and made loans.
Naturally this curtailed the supply OF
