White Tells of Scheme.

Mr.. White, in discussion the offer,
said the unions realized it would be a
severe blow to unionism if the anthra-
cite miners are defeated, and would
also hurt the united mine workers
greatly, while the benefit to unionism
in general, which the support and win
ming of this strike would be, is great.
He issued the following statement af.
ter his conference with President
Mitchell:
Il have been delegated by the var.
ious important labor organizations of
the country to come here and present
to Mr.. Mitchell a plan by which the
strikers in the anthracite region could
continue indefinitely their fight against
the operators who wish to wreck their
organization. | told Mr. Mitchell ac
cording to my instructions that organ
lied labor IN this country was ready
and willing to raise an enormous sum
for the support of the miners. He vel
coined the offer and said that in case
the strike be prolonged and the neces
sity for the acceptance of this Offer
became apparent he would call upon
us for aid"

ELKINs TAKES TO TALL GRASS.
Senator Finds Its Necessary to. Hedge
on Cuban Reciprocity.

Washington, D. c., July 9.-One of
the most notable things in the cam
paign for Cuban reciprocity has been
the rapid manner in which the. beet
sugar senators have taken to the tall
timber, Since the adjournment of
congress, and particularly since the
Presidents Pittsburg speech, in which
he announced his determination to
keep UP the fight for reciprocity for
Cuba, the most violent of the beet SUI
gar senator's, like Elkins of West Vir.
ginia, Burrows of Michigan, DIETRICH
of Nebraska, and others, have been
busily engaged framing reasons and
giving eXplanationssito show that they
are not really at variance with the
President and public opinion.
The most violent OF the beet sugar
senators, with the possible exception
| of Mr.. Burrows, was Mr.. Elkins. He
came from a state which has never
produced pound of beet sugar and
probably never will His antagonism
| to the reciprocity measure as was
generally Understood, was born and
bred of his desire to prevent the nom
ination of President Roosevelt in 1904.
Senator Elkins' antagonism is almost
entirely personal. and it dates back to
the fight he has been max
| ing on Secretary Hitchcock.
Since the President made mis- Pitts
burg speech, however, Senator Elkins
has found it necessary to explain his
position at considerable length. Only
a few weeks before the adjournment
of congress Mr.. Elkins caused to be
circulated remarkable Explanation
of his position, in which he openly
assumed the position of leader in OPP
position to the administration. Now
however, he has found 1t necessary to
enlist the services of asiiterary bureau
here in Washington, which makes a
specially Of sending out gratuitous
puffs for distressed statesmen.

ORGANIZED LABOR TO HELP.
Will Assist Striking Coal Miners-The
Plan.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 9.-Organized
ance to the anthracite miners as long
as they keep up the strike. The offer
was the result of conference of labor
leaders held in Nv York. Samuel

The plan is contingent upon the min
ers' convention at Indianapolis voting

until the resources of the anthracite
miners are exhausted.

The scheme, in brief, contemplates
the concentration of the energy and re-
sources OF organized labor in behalf of
the miners, aresult of which has new
the raising of given amount of
money each week, with which provi-
sions and other necessaries of life
will be purchased. The plan will be
submitted to the Federation of Labor
for it's Endorsement at it's session in
San Francisco next week.
To Take Outside Subscriptions.
Public men throughout the United
States will also undertake an indie
pendent movement and solicit sub
scriptions from those not connected
with labor organizations. This move
ment will be inaugurated in New
York, and the labor organizations and
sympathizers in all the principal cit
les Of the country will appoint solicit
ors.

Mr. White, who isshere in his capacity
as member of the executive board
of the American Federation of Labor,

London, July 9.-The news thai the
coronation was to be held before the

America before it was known here.
But the papers here confirm the AS
ISOLATED Press announcement. From
the same excellent source the Associ.
ated Press learns today that the press

to the personal insistence of the king
His director was at first opposed to
an early date, but the king declined to
agree on other plans. Finally realiz
ing that more danger was likely to
arise in opposing his majesty on this
point he agreed to it. They now see
that the king is right and it will be
far better for him TO be through with
the turmoil of the coronation as soon
as possible, than to have it hanging
over him for months.

War Time "Reminiscences.


J. L. McCreery, who formerly pub
lished paper in Delaware county and
in Dubuque; now a clerk in the office
of the attorney general, was one of a
jolly Fourth of July party. Mr.. Nc
Creery is born raconteur. He pos
sesses an inexhaustible supply of
choice "reminiscences of by-gone days
that delight the ear of listeners. The
afternoon of the Fourth, while stretch
ed out on the grass at Glen Echo. Mr.
McCreery went back in memory forty
years. He narrated a yarn implicat-
ing the late Hon. ]. X. Graves that
probably but few Iowa people have
heard.
To Start Shot Factory.
Mr.. Graves and party Of business
men conceived the idea of establishing
concern for the manufacture of shot
back in the dawn of the sixties. The
enterprise was started but for. some
reason was not success. The inter-
ested parties were sick of the deal; of
fered their stock at five or ten cents on
the dollar and Mr.. Graves bought most
of it. Not long after this the war
broke out. The nearest shot-making
concern was st. Louis. it is said. Mr..
Graves arranged for the ST. Louis con-
Germ to get word that he was about to
start the Dubuque concern to making
bullets. The st. Louis people wanted
a monopoly and sent representative
| to see Graves and negotiate with him
for his plant. The upshot of the mat
ter vas that they finally paid Graves
about fifty cents on the dollar for the
stock and the latter made fine thing
out of the deal. However, by the terms
of the agreement Graves was not to
erect shot tower within 100 miles OF
Dubuque for period of ten years.
Dug Shot Hole.
Graves was as good as his word. He
did not erect a shot tower, but he did
find a convenient hole in the ground
upon one of the hills not far from Drl-
buque and here he contrived q scheme
for making bullets. The hot lead
dropped from the surface of the earth
into well a hundred feet deep produc-
ed just as good bullets as though drop
ped from the top of. tower one hun
bred feet high. The case came to. trial
and Graves won out. He proved that
he had not erected tower
Iowan Won at Law.
The st. Louis concern had bright
but peculiar lawyer. He had a long
string of notes before him, and in his
| remarks said: your honor, we have
defendants bond that he would not
erect shot tower within one hundred
miles of Dubuque for ten years. He
has forfeited his bond; he has erected
hole upon hill and is making shot
We demand damages" But he didn't
get them. Frank ]. Stillman.
