THESTRIKE QUESTION.
Commissioners May Make a Pre-
liminary Report Soon.
J. Is Officially Announced That If A:1y
Award Affecting Existing Wages
Shall Be Made 1t Will Be Ef-
fectiVe November 1.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 31.-The seven
commissioners appointed by President
Roosevelt to adjust the differences be-
tween the anthracite mine workers and
employers Thursday made a tour Of
the extreme upper coal field and saw
every step taken in the production Of
coal from the time it is blasted from
the ground, hundreds of feet below the
surface, up to the point where it is
sent to make ready for the use Of the
consumer.
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 1.-The first i'm
portant action by the anthracite coal
strike commission. which is arbitrat-
ing differences existing between the
miners and their employers, was ia
ken Friday when it was announced
by Carroll D. Wright, the recorder of
the commission, that if any award af-
fecting the existing rate of wages
shall be made, the award shall be eff
fective from November L. The action
Of the commissioners shuts off any
possible controversy that either side
may have desired to raise. The an
nOuncement Of the commission was
continued in the following brief reso-
luton:
Voted unanimously that if the COM
mission, at the conclusion of its hear
ings and deliberations, makes any
award affecting existing rates of
wages, such award shall take effect
from November /. 1902"
Accompanying the resolution was
brief statement made by Recorder
Wright in which he says:
The resolution was adopted by the
commission because it felt that it was
important to make its Investigations
deliberately and that it might be we'll,
in order to relieve itself from pressure
from any source which might cause
undue haste, to inform the operators
and the miners that should the inves-
tigatiOn and the deliberations follow
ing it warrant any change whatever,
either in the way Of increase or reduc-
ton of wages, such change should be
from a certain date, thus enabling all
parties to facilitate their calcula-
tions"
The commissioners spent the entire
day in continuing their inspection Of
the mines and the mining region about
Scranton. They visited the Manville
cOlliery, operated jointly by the Della
ware & Hudson and the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Co.'S. in the
forenoon and the afternoon was spent
in riding through the region on a spe-
cial trolley car. The commission will
spend Saturday in the vicinity of
Wilkesbarre, returning here in the ev-
enine.
1t is possible that the commission
may make a preliminary report on
three principal strike questions. They
are the increase in wages, a shorter
work day and the weighing of coal.
After these have been decided the
commission can take up all other ques-
tons without undue haste. 1t is known
the commissioners have this feature
under consideration and it is very
likely a preliminary report will be
made.

Gloves (nearly sc per cent?, hat

HEAVY RAIN FALL.
Record of the State Broken
Thursday and Friday.

Des Moines, June THE rainfall
in Iowa Thursday night at different
points was the largest recorded In
the history of the weather bureau.
Here are some of the figures for the
twenty-four hours ending 2 p. M,
Friday:
Des Moines, 2:15 inches.
.Clarinda, "a inches.
Carroll, 3:16 inches.
Previous to Friday the largest rain
fall recorded in the Des Moines office
was 5. IA inches. This was in June,
1881. In June, 1879, there was a fall
of A. 80 inches, and three inches of
the amount fell in an hour. That
takes the banner for rapid fall, with
the exception of a fall on October 10,
1889, when $3.50 inches fell in half
hour. In August, 's6, there was a
fall of 8 go inches in Des Moines, and
since that time there has been none
as large. In Des Moines Friday even.
ing during one hour 1.61 inches fell.

AIMED AT OFFICER.
But the Gun Missed Fire and
Prevented Murder.

Officer Frank Hoffman looked death
in the face early this morning in
making the arrest of prisoner, and
that the officer is alive today is most
likely due to the fact that the gun
missed fire.
Officers Hoffman and Parks were
summoned to the west pant of town
to make the arrest of Charles Raines,
who was intoxicated and disturbing
the peace. When Officer Hoffman
went to the house Raines met him
with loaded shotgun and aiming 1t
at the office pulled the trigger. The
charge missed fire and Raines was in
the hands of the officers the next in
slant. The gun was also taken and
stands as evidence against the de-
PENDANT. The charge is a eerious
one. He was arraigned before the
mayor and sent to jail to await trial.

springs are situated fall under the
title of crown lands; hence they are
in the jurisdiction of the ministry of
agriculture.
Recently Prof. Zalessky, a we'll
known Russian expert, was sent to
the Trans-Baikal country to exam
inc, analyze and report upon the
most important springs along the
line of the Great Siberian railway.
The most popular springs are the
Turkinsk Hot Springs, in the Bayu-
SEM district, near the Holy" or
"Rich," Lake Baikal. There are many
wonderful legends connected with
the cures reported, and they go back
to the earliest times. The Iron
Springs, near Darassunsk, south of
Chita (where the new Manchurian
line joins the main road), are well
known locally and are patronized.
Then there are the Makovieff Springs,
between Chita and Nerchinsk. With
the opening up of the new railway
and the beginning Of work on the
Circum-Baikal line next spring, doubt
less many invalids, who now seek the
baths of DIANA, in japan, will avail
themselves of the facilities nearer
home. These ancient medicinal
springs may not equal those of New
Zealand; but they are far more Inn
portant than has been previously es-
timated, and Prof. Zalessky's report
will be looked for with, interest.
In Kamchatka there are many min
eral springs and geysers, but, with
the exception of the Serebriamkoff
Springs, none of them have any acc
commodation for visitors.

TRAIN IS WRECKED.
Disaster to a Party of Excursfonists
in Michigan-One killed.,
Many Hurt.

Alpena, Mich, June 9.-An excursion
train on the Detroit & Mackinaw rail-
road, which left here at us Sunday for
Saginaw, consisting of an engine and
twelve coaches and carrying over 500
people, was wrecked at Black River,
while running 40 miles an hour. Au-
gust Grosinski was instantly killed,
three were fatally injured and nearly
so others received injuries of various
degrees of severity, ranging from
bruises and cuts to broken limbs. The
excursion was under the auspices of
the German Aid society of Alpena.
When the train reached Black River the
tender jumped the track. Engineer
Hopper instantly set the airbrakes and
reversed his engine. The sudden stop
threw the first three coaches of the
train off the track and into the ditch.
The first car was thrown half around
and the next two coaches plowed
through it and cut it in two. August
Grosinski, the only person killed, was
seated in this coach with 40 other ex-
cursionists. His body was terribly
crushed and death was instantaneous.
The three wrecked coaches were piled
up in heap and 200 feet of the track
was torn up. AS soon as the occupants
of the uniniured coaches recovered
from the shock and surprise, they
rushed to the wrecked cars and began
aiding the injured. They were extri-
Gated from the wreck with frantic
haste and given all possible relief,
pending the arrival of the relief train.
This train brought eight surgeons
fl ON AIpena. After temporary dress
ings had been made of the most serious
wounds, all the injured were brought
back to this city.
