SPEEDY RESTORATION.
A Renewal of Prosperous Conditions
OMinn to Strike Settlement.

New York. Oct. 2O.-R. Ct. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade today
says:
Settlement Of the coal strike removes
the only handicap to Industrial prog
ress. Five months of restricted fuel
production had begun to clog the
wheels at many manufacturing CEN
ters, while there was a perceptible
diminution in consumptive demands,
as the purchasing power of the wage
earners steadily decreased. Savings
have been exhausted, and much money
has gone out of the country OF
this struggle, but the nations remark
ably strong position assures a speedy
restoration of prosperous conditions.
TRANSPORTATION is now the worst fea-
ture, and threatens to continue dis
turbing. While the grain crops are be-
ing moved, the supply of rolling stock
and motive power will prove insuf1-
Client although every effort is made at
the shops, liberal premiums being OF
fered for early delivery. That the rail-
ways are we'll occupied is by
earnings for the first week in october
-3.5 per cent larger than last year ann
1919 per cent above 1900.
Inadequate supplies of fuel caused
further banking of furnaces, u the
effect of q decreased output or domestic
pig iron has been partially neutrallzed
by larger arrivals from abroad. Prac-
tically no price can be named for inn
mediate delivery of home iron and there
is no disposition to maize concessions
for distant contracts owing to the abb
normal coke situation.
Footwear shops are actively engaged,

as to the views Of the operators on Mr.
Mitchell's objections and proposition.
The first sign OF a breakup OF the
conference was at 1885, when Sec.
rotary Cortelyou anne from the con"
ference room and announced to the
waiting newspaper men that an official
statement Of the strike situation woulc
be made public In about half an hour
Root Announces Settlement.
Shortly after 1 o'clock Secretary
Root came out laughing and happy
and spread the glad tidings hat a com.
mon ground of agreement between the
operators and the miners had beer
reached, and that the strike was prac.
tically ended.
1t was learned a few minutes later
that the chief feature of the agreement
was the addition of q sixth membe &c
the arbitration commission. the sur
mise following, as a matter of course
that the additional member would be
more particularly a representative OF
labor. 1t was said at the same time
that an agreement had been arrived al
as to the means of determining the
differences, that the president would
insist on an immediate resumption OF
work at the mines, and that he had
reason to expect his advice would be
followed very promptly.
Messrs. Bacon and Perkins, partners
of Mr.. Morgan, were present at the
final conference as the representatives
Of the operators.
When the gathering broke VI all
present were In high good humor, and
there was O. general exchange Of con-
gratulations.

Improvement In the iron trade as a

BUSINESS WORLD
IS JUBILANT
Settlement Of Coal Strike Re-
moves Only Disturbing
Factor.
RETAIL TRADE IS GOOO
Transportation Is Now the Worst Fea-
ture, and Threatens to So Continue
Railroads Making Every
Effort to Move Goods.

New York, Oct. 20.-Bradstreet's
says:
With the settlement of the great coal
strike of 1902, the most remarkable In
some respects of modern records, prac-
tically the only unfavorable feature in
general trade industry disappears.
Coincident with this, also, have been
the ending of several minor troubles OF
a similar nature. While relief to the
public mind is, perhaps, the most i'm
mediate result, it is natural to expect
that abnormal prices and conditions In
the fuel supply will gradually disap-
pear. Some scars, of course, VIII be
left. and the effect of the costly trouble
Will, no doubt, be reflected in some
loss of trade in the mining
regions and in rather higher prices for
fuel for the coming winter h were
paid a year ago
All other trade developments this
week are largely favorable. Retail
trade has generally improved, stimu-
lated at the west, northwest and south
by cooler weather, fall festivals and
carnivals. Jobbing demand is also bet
ter, particularly at the west. Dry

the executive districts boards in calling
a convention, agreeing to recommend
unanimously resumption of work and
submission of the differences between

Mitchell, speaking of the effort to
settle the strike says:
1T will be remembered that we pro-
posed October 3 to place the whole mat
ter in your hands and accept the Ver-
dict Of a tribunal of your w selection.
1t will also be remembered the COM
pany managers at that time refused to
accept the arbitrament of the presi-
dent of the United States, but preferred
that of the local commonplace judges.
We propose to leave everything to YOU

ing the utmost faith In your impartial
ity and good judgment.

bitrament the operators thought to

THOUSANDS KILLED.
Typhoon Which Recently Swept Japan
Was Most Destructive Storm
Since 1893,

Victoria, B. c., oct. 17.-Several
thousand lives were lost in the typhoon
and tidal waves which recently swept
northern Japan, according to advices
received by the steamer Glenogle. The
Glenogle left Yokohama on october /.
Previous adviCes from Japan have
placed the loss of life in the storm
among the hundreds.
The breakwater off Yokohama was
swept away, liners were driven ashore,
the Japanese battleship ~Shikishima,
stranded at Y~osukuska, temples and
public buildings and houses were des-
troyed and their occupants drowned.
1t was along the Japanese coast from
Kodzu to Odawara bay that the great
est loss Of life occurred. Huge tidal
waves swept away villages, over 600
lives being lost in the village Of Koya-
wata alone.
At Kohachimara 1t Is estimated that
a similar number lost their lives. From
other points The tale of deaths is as
heavy for the typhoon seems to have
spread disaster all over the northern
part Of Japan, and the seismic waves
which swept in and deluged the coast
about Odawara caused a greater loss
of life than any storm since he dis
aster OK the tidal a V OF 1898.
