THE CONFER ENCE AT BUFFALO.
Statement Issued by Manufacturers
 Great Hopes Entertained.

Buffalo, N. r., Oct. 7.-The confer ence between the committee appointed by the National Manufacturers asso- citation and President Mitchell and his lieutenants held at the Iroquois hotel this afternoon did not result in any definite plan being agreed upon for the partial resumption of work in the an- thracite coal fields, but the manufactur- CTS committee stated that they were greatly pleased with the progress made. The fact that communication was es- tablished with the operators by long distance telephone and an appointment made to meet a committee representing them in Philadelphia tomorrow is look ed upon as significant as it had been announced by the manufacturers com mittee that there existed no under standing with the operators prior to to- days meeting and no step in that dl- rection would be taken until the nego- tiations with President Mitchell reach ed a stage where such 8 meeting would promise results.
 MT. Mitchell this afternoon positively declined to discuss the request made by HT6Sluenl INOOSGFCll lHdI 4hltSlACi1 o5S his influence to induce the miners to re- sume work with a promise of the ap- pointment of commission to hnvesti- gate the miners grievances. It was learned from a reliable source, how ever, that MT Mitchell does not regard the proposition favorably and that he will decline to ask the miners to re- sune work under the conditions stipu lated.
 The following gentlemen represented the manufacturers at to-day's meeting:
 David M Parry, president of the Manufacturers association, Indianapo- lis: George H.. Barbour of Detroit, Richard Young of New York, Frank Leak of Philadelphia and John Max well of Indianapolis. The miners were represented by President Mitchell, Sec retary Treasurer Wilson and District Presidents T., D. Nichols, Thomas Duff fy and John Fahy.
 The conference was held behind closed doors and only a brief statement was given out at the end of the meeting The statement is as follows:
 "The committee of the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers has listened to the explanation of the present strike difficulty as offered by special com nittee of the United Mine Workers at the head of which was John Mitchell. The National Association of Manufac- ers' committee has learned what it could of the conditions and now goes to Philadelphia for the purpose of meet ing a. committee of mine operators with the idea of getting their side of the difficulty The National Association of Manufacturers committee carries no proposition from the mine workers and has no other mission than the desire to speedily bring about a settlement of this dispute.

 David M. Parry, president of N. A.

TO INVESTIGATE COAL TRUST
INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED BY Ar
 TORNEY GENERAL KNOX.

Received by United States District Att
 torney Burnett of the Southern Half
 of New York state-DecIines at Pres
 ent to state tho Nature of the In vesft-
 gation.
 New York, Oct. Tt was learned to- day that United States District Att torney Burnett had been instructed by United States Attorney General Knox to investigate the working of the coal trust in his district, that of the south ern half of New York state. General Burnett declined, however, to state the nature of the investigation to be made by him or when it would be commenced. Further than to state such an investi- gation had been ordered he would not talk. Washington, Oct. Tt is stated here that the investigation into the alleged anthracite coal trust which District Attorney Burnett will make has no significance as regards the present strike so far as the administration is concerned The matter was referred to the district attorney for the southern district of New York for investigation in the regular course of practice of the department. Several days ago the de- partment of justice received a formal petition from New York alleging the ex- l istence of an anthracite coal trust and requesting the department to proceed against it under the Sherman anti 1 trust law. The usual course of the de- partment, it is said, where such peti- tions are formally presented accompan- | jed by allegations as to matters of fact, is to refer them there to the dis trict attorney of the district whence the complaint comes for investigation and this course was pursued in the present | instance

EXTENSION OF FRENCH STRIKE.
Action to Make Ht General Deferred Until
 TO-day.

Paris Oct. 7-The national commit tee of the French Miners Federation met tonight at the Labor Exchange here with the intention of deciding whether an immediate general strike was to be ordered, agitation in favor of such a step having been in progress for some time. The meeting lasted three hours and then adjourned until tomor- row without arriving at decision.
 M. Basly, socialist deputy who rep resents an important district of the Pas de Calais coal fields. says he is con- fident that q general strike will be vot- ed and that 10000 out of 100000 miners will obey the order He adds that the strike will extend over the Pas de Calais, the Nord, the Loire and the Garmaux regions.
 The reason why the committee failed to vote with regard to ordering a gen. eral strike is understood to be because discussion of the matter developed di- vision of opinion.

LlPTON'S THIRD CHALLENGE
ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE

 Weather Craft the resIgner's Object.
 London, Oct. 7.-Sir Thomas Lipton's third challenge for a series of races for the Americas cup was signed this af- ternoon at Belfast, Ireland, by the off, cials of the Royal Ulster Yacht club. The Hon. Charles Russell represented Sir Thomas Lipton.
 The challenge was immediately mail- ed, and goes to New York on the White Star line steamer Oceanic, which sails from Liverpool tomorrow and from Queenstown on Thursday.
 The Associated Press understands that the terms of the challenge do not materially differ from those of 1900. The first races are expected to take place in August. Sir Thomas Lipton said
 T cannot discuss the terms until the officials of the New York Yacht club have had an opportunity to deal with them, and have signified their opinions in regard to them. I have every reason to hope they will be considered satis- factory. I have always found the mem- bers of the New York Yacht club too good sportsmen to stick at minor de- tails. What We both want is a good race under the best possible conditions, and may the best boat win. Do think I shall win? Well, do not think would try my luck for the third time unless I thought I had pretty good chance. No other Britisher has exhibited any desire to lift the cup. If anybody had turned up, I would willing have made way for him. But I cannot let the chance go altogether.
 1T certianly believe the Shamrock III. | will be an improvement on the last challenger If she is beaten the Amer | jeans will have to procure a better boat | than can be built in the United King | dom. I intend leaving the Shamrock IT. in America, as trial horse there, WNlle l use Cn6 SHaIIlFOCh IL lOl IiiS same purpose on this side.
 | 'On previous occasions the arrange ments for the competitions were so ade- quately fulfilled that can suggest no improvements. I am anticipating my visit with the keenest pleasure, whether I win or lose. I have always been 1 treated with the greatest kindness, and it is quite a case of revisiting old friends, only this time I hope they will not have, the faster boat ....
 The fact that the challenge was mail
 ed to New York was not published here
 to-day, but the comments made on the
 subject by yachtsmen when informed oi
 1t by representative of the Associated
 Press indicate that yachting men ir
 Great Britain identify themselves as
 completely and enthusiastically with
 this challenge as they did with the two
 which preceded it. A few irreconcila-
 bles still quote the Dunraven episode |

New York Fire Board and Dock Com-
 mission FntI to Get Any.
 New York, Oct. 6.-Bids were to have been opened by Commissioner Hawkes. of the Dock Department, for two thou sand tons of anthracite to-day but no bids at all were received.

 thorizcd to Expend a Sum Not Ex-
 ceeding S5,00O to Purchase and De-
 liver Wood at Cost Price-Session of
 Finance Board Was a Lively One.
 The board of finance held a special meeting yesterday afternoon at 5:SO o'clock for the purpose of taking some action on the resolution of Alderman Dickerman concerning the plan to fur nish fuel for the citizens of New Haven and also for deciding whether or not the board would grant funds to send the committee appointed to the conven- tion to be held in Detroit tomorrow. It developed during the session that there was considerable difference of opinion on both of these questions, and that those on both sides were very firm in their belief that they were right. As was stated, the session was called to order at 5:3O and it, was just two hours later when the motion to adjourn was made.
 As result of the meeting it was de- cided that the aldermanic committee, consisting of Messrs. Trueman, Lyman and SprightlY which was appointed at the meeting Monday night to attend the convention in Detroit would not be granted the necessary funds, and that Controller Rowe be empowered to ex- pend $5,000 to buy and deliver wood for the poor people, the same to be paid for and carted, according to Alderman Dickermans resolution.
 It was figured that it would cost about $60 apiece for the members of the delegation to go to Detroit, and in order to have the matter go through the con- sent of four members of the board would have to be given. No vote was taken on the matter, but each member had a chance to express his views, and it was on this expression of views that the question was decided. MT. Dewell MT. Curtis and MT Logan were oppos- ed to sending the delegation to Detroit while Mayor Studley, Controller Rowe and MT. Frederick were in favor of it Mir. Atwood was absent. so the senti- ment was evenly divided. President | (Continued on Sixth Page)

CANNOT COMPETE WITH COAL.
Opinion of Board of Naval Engineers
 on Utility of oil.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Oil cannot com pete with coal for naval use. At least that is the conclusion reached by the board of naval engineers, which for many weeks past has been making a series of practical tests with various oil burners under 1000 horse power boiler in this city. They have drawn up Q preliminary report for submission to the secretary, which will show that out of the fourteen different devices pre- sented by American inventors for tests not one would burn coal oil under a naval boiler and produce steam in com- petition with coal even were the oil sold at s1 per barrel.

Then Burning.
 Beaumont, Texas, Oct 7.-Midnight- Another great fire, more disastrous than the conf1agration of a few weeks ago, swept over the oil fields here tonight, causing the loss of one mans life, and entailing property damage of thou sands of dollars It was discovered shortly before Il o'clock and with re- markable rapidity it spread to the many derricks in the Hogg Swayne. The en- croachment of the flames was so rapid l that many people were caught in the | fiery path and at midnight it is known that twelve people have perished and the fatalities may reach twenty 1 The entire Hogg Swayne tract com- prising one of the largest sections in the oil fields will in all probability be. burn ed to the ground, forty or more Of the i large derricks having been destroyed by the flames. The fire is spreading and | the property loss will be heavy. The 1 entire oil field presents brilliant spec 1 tacle.
 | Up to 1 o'clock it is estimated that fifty derricks have been destroyed and over one hundred are still burning. It is said that the tanks Of the Hogg- Swayne syndicate are imperilled, and the tract seems doomed.
 Reports as to the estimated loss of lives are conflicting. A report from Austin, which was received there by long distance telephone, places the loss of life at twenty persons, but the re- port cannot be confirmed at this hour.
 From this city the fire looks worse than the recent fire of several weeks ago.
 The fire was still burning at o'clock and the loss was then estimated at $1OO,- 900,
