GERMAN AID TO U. s. MINERS.
A Victory for the Latter n Victory for
 the Former.

Berlin, Oct. 15.-The central commit tee of the German Coal Miners associ- ations has sent $1,25O to the American striking coal miners and has issued di- rections to the members of the associ- ations not to work extra time with the object of increasing the supply of coal for export, adding:
 AS our comrades know the Ameri- can miners have already been engaged for five months in mighty struggle with gigantic united capital, and last week our brothers in France also struck ~~-~ After reciting the French miners de- ! mands the German order continues: If our French brethren get their just de-
 mands, that means progress for us. The German government will no longer | be able to say that other countries are doing less for labor than Germany. A
 victory of the American miners will also be an important success for us anu lOl Llic liteTIldLlUldl HllHeTS cause"
 Inquiries for coal for the United | States have been made at the Silesian mines, but the German committees or
 der seems intended chiefly to limit the | exports to France, which have risen to | 10000 tons a day. The committee says | it is unable to prevent the companies | from exporting to France the stock on | hand, but it Is determined that when
 the supplies are exhausted not to per
 init extra mining for export. Money
 will be contributed by the committee to
 assist the French miners if the strike l in France continues.
 Indications point to the German la
 boring classes having a hard winter
 Many companies report that the busi-
 ness situation shows no sign of inn provement. The municipalities expect
 more calls on public charity than last winter, and the mayor of Frankfort.
 on-the- Main has announced a city ap
 propriation of $1,OO0,OOO for relief work
 of various kinds to assist the laborers.

MANUFACTURERS PLAN.
Their Proposition of Settlement to
 President Mitchell.

Detroit, Oct. 15.-George H. Barbour,
 one Of the members Of the committee from the national manufacturers asso- citation, which held the conference at Buffalo last week with President Nit chell of the Uuited Mine Workers, said to-day:
 "The manufacturers committee pro-
 posed to President Mitchell at Buffalo that if he would forego the point of
 recognition of the union the miners would receive ten per cent. increase of wages, based on earnings at the time
 of the strike, all other lifficulties to be ! settled by the individual colleries. MT. Mitchell was not inclined to give up his | point of union recognition. but finally
 agreed that he would present the ques- ] tion to the miners district presidents. | If MT. Mitchell faVors the compro- 1 mise we are certain that it vii! be ac- 1 cepted At that time the manufacturers l had not seen the operators, but as a business proposition we are certain i that we can secure the 10 per cent. in- crease of wages for the reason that the 1 public would be only too glad to stand ! an increase of $1 ton in the price of 1 hard coal for d settlement of strike diff 1 faculties and the operators can readily afford to give the miners 10 per cent. 1 increase while pocketing the extra dol | lar in the price themselves
 | MT. Barbour says that he would ad- wise the miners to accept the arbitra- tion proposition made by the operators i If this is not done, however. MT. Bar
 bour believes that the operators will &C.,
 cept the compromise solution of the
 strike suggested to President Mitchell 1 by the manufacturers. He is also of
 the opinion that the miners will accept this.

THE NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK

 Orange Street Next Spring.

To Have New Quarters--To Move Into
 Orange Street Next Spring.
 The National Savings bank has pur- chased of the New Haven Savings bank the building No. 145 Orange street., which the latter institution has for years and until recently occupied as it's banking house. Being so centrally lo- cated, with fine vault and furnishings, it is admirably adapted for banking purposes. In fact the two blocks on Orange street, lying on each side of Chapel street. compose monetary cen ter of the city, there being no less than twelve financial concerns located there, comprising five banks, one trust con- pany and several bankers and brokers offices. :..3
 Thirty-six years ago last spring the National Savings bank was incorpor- ated, and first started in business in Cutler building, corner of Chapel and Church streets, it's present location. The change was decided upon on ac- count of the banks growing business, and it is the intention to occupy the new and more commodious building on Orange street early next spring. With assets of nearly three million dollars this old and established institution is one of the soundest, safest and best of it's kind

STRIKE LEADERS TO MEET.
wnl Hold Joint Meeting at 10 a. m
 To-day.

wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct 15.-The exec utive board members of the three an- thracite districts of United Mine Work CTS of America will hold joint meet ing here at 10 o'clock tomorrow to con siuer a proposition for ending the strike which President Mitchell will lay before them with view of calling delegates convention of the striking mine workers to pass Upon it. 1t Is un- derstood that at least majority of the board members are opposed to the ar bitration plan but if the president gave Mr. Mitchell an interpretation ot the proposal there is a likelihood that convention will be called to consider it. There is a general belief that conven- tion will be called, no matter what sort of a proposition is laid before the board. Some of the miners are of the opinion that MT Mitchell may have offered a compromise proposition by which the operators and miners would have equal representation on an arbitration con-
 mission.
 The joint conference tomorrow will l be made up of thirty-seven persons. 1 Those who will be present will be MT. Mitchell, National Secretary Treasurer
 w. B. Wilson, who arrived here to-day;
 the three anthracite members of the na-
 tional executive board, the president,
 vice president, secretary and treasurer
 of each district, the seven board mem
 bers from each of the upper and lower
 districts and the six board members of ! the middle district.
 l If a convention is held it will proba-
 bly, be called together within four days.
 While Hazleton is more centrally locat-
 ed, there is probability that Wilkes l barre will be the convention city, be- cause headquarters are here. About
 eight hundred delegates would be in at
 tendance. MT. Mitchell, following prec- edence, will be elected president, with
 Mr. Wilson, if he remains in the east,
 acting as secretary.
 The general strike situation is un- changed, few additional men being re-
 cruited by the coal companies.

 Santos Dumont," said MT. Phelan, tasks that prize of $200,000 be put up; this sum, however, will only be paid over in case the trip is successful. The aeronaut undertakes to pay all his own expenses and he is already at work building a new airship for this purpose. He seems entirely confident of achiev- ing his object. He 'phoo-phoos' the difficulties of such a lengthy trip, and not only believes he has got chance of completing this trans-oceanic and trans-continental air journey, but that there will be found a sufficient number of contributors to make up the purse that he asks as a reward"
