SOME SUNDAY WORK
The President and His Advisers
Have Another Plan to
Settle the Strike.
The Miners Are Asked to Resume
Work and Investigations
Are Promised.

Washington, Oct. Gin an earnest eff
fort to expedite the adjustment of the
coal strike problem another conference
over the situation was held at the White
House yesterday and adjourned after three
hours Of elaboration.
Besides the president there were present
Secretary Root, Secretary Moody, Attor-
ney General Knox, Postmaster General
Payne and Carroll D. Wright, commission
err of labor
Every member Of the cabinet and COL
onel Wright, the only outsider who was
present, was pledged to the president
to absolute secrecy as to what had
occurred within the conference room. The
utmost efforts were made to guard against
publicity.
lie Is said that the president believes he
has nothing to expect save refusal from a
further appeal to the coal presidents, and
therefore has decided to look for relief
from the miners. He feels that he car
hardly expect them to make the sacrifice
Of all their contentious without holding
out at least promise Of some return
and the question is as to his ability tt
do this. He can pledge himself to appea
| to congress to examine into the justice
| Of the miners complaints and remed!
them so far as lies in the power of tn
Legislative branch, backed by the earnes
good will Of the executive.
| Also he can suggest to Governor Ston
of Pennsylvania that he cause the Penn
sylvania legislature likewise to make al
inquiry and perhaps call an extra session
But these pledges would be given only OF
condition that the men go at once into tn
mines and get out with all speed the Goa
for which the people are suffering
The three hours spent in consultation
to-day We're none too long to put into form
! the twin propositions, one to the miners
organization and the other to Governo
Stone.

THE PLANT OF SALAzAR
The u. S. Is Outside Of Its Treaty
Rights in Its Recent
Ruling.

Panama, Colombia. Oct. 6.-Last Friday
General Salazar received communication
from Acting United States Consul Ehr-
man, saying that Admiral Casey would not
permit the transportation of armed or
unarned military employees of the govern
ment or of war material Of any kind by
the railroad. At a conference with Ad-
miral Casey on board the Wisconsin Gen.
eral Salazar said that the United States,
according to the convention of 1886, had
contracted two inseparable obligations,
namely, to guarantee positively and eff1ca-
ciously free transit across the isthmus and
to guarantee in the same manner the
rights of sovereignty and property which
Colombia possesses over the isthmlan ter
ritory.
The governor said that if the Colom-
bian government is not allowed TO trans
port it's troops and war material by ran
ever the isthmus, not only does the United
States not fulfill it's second obligation, put
it attacks Colombia's rights Of sovereignty
and violates all principles of morality and
Justice; that he, as the representative or
the nation and government could not &C
cept such an Interpretation Of the conVen-
ton and against which he must energetic
cally protest.
| governor Salazar explained that the rev.
olutionists could not be CONSIDERED on me
same footing as the government soldiers,
the latter being defenders of the laws OF
the nation, while the rebels, by their ac-
tions, had placed themselves OUTSIDE 'ne
law. He said that an Interpretation or
the convention of 1886 which did not per-
nit Colombia to transport it's troops and
war material over the isthmian railroad
constructed on it's own territory, While
allowing other nations and even those
openly aiding the revolution to transport
war material over this railroad under 1ne
| protection of American marines. 1huss
paoe esarilv be entirely erroneous.

BRYAN ON THE IOWA IDEA
Kansas City Platform Puts the Re-
publican Party on the De-
fensive, He Says.

Special to The Journal.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Oct Civilian
Jennings Bryan in an interview here said
concerning the Iowa idea:
Governor Cummins seems to be in
sympathy with the democratic plan of
putting the trust-made articles on the
free list, but he wants to call it by a
republican name while he is doing it.
Personally, I do not object to his calling
it whatever he pleases. Democratic tariff
reform, like Shakspere's rose, by an
other name would smell as sweet
But whatever the republicans do with
tariff reform, it is their tariff, but, as I
have recently stated in the Connmoner,
If democrats propose tariff reduction as a
complete remedy for the trusts they will
be met by two unanswerable arguments
First, that trust that can export can
exist without a tariff, and, second that
there are trusts in England, which is
generally pointed to a free trade coun-
try. Democrats who rely upon the free
list as complete remedy or the rem :
edy for the trusts will soon be on the de-
| fensive, but democrats who rely upon the
free list as a remedy for trust extortion
will put the republicans on the defensive
The Kansas City platform presents such
a remedy, and it is the only remedy now
before the public"

SNYDER GOT FIVE YEARS
The POODLE millionaire Found Gull
ty by St. Louis Jury in
Fifty Minutes,

St. Louis, Oct. 5.--Robert Mcclure Sny-
der, banker and promoter. worth perhaps
a million dollars, was convicted OF br1b-
cry in the criminal court and was sem
fenced to five years Imprisonment in the
state penitentiary. The jury considered
for fifty minutes it's verdict on the case
which had occupied an entire week In
presentation. The jurors had retired
after almost four hours Of arguments.
The close Of the trial was marked by
incidents Of no less absorbing interest
than those of Thursday when the story
of Snyders colossal Doodle transactions
and Wholesale purchases of councilmen
was revealed on the witness stand.
During the final pleading of the case
the court room OVertiOWed with specta =
tors. During the speeches Of Judge Priest
for the defense and Circuit Attorney Folk
for the state the utmost stiffness pre-
vailed. Especially did all references to
the crime of bribery hold the interest OF
the auditors. During the jury's hour OF
absence. the crowd greater and betting
pools were formed by speculative persons
in the corridors. The most favorable pre-
diction made in Snyder's behalf was a
hung jury.

LET MORGAN SETTLE
John Brisbane Walker Has Uniuue
SuQdeStIon

John Brisbane Walker Has a Unique
Suggestion.
Omaha, Oct. 6.-John Brisbane Walker
of the Cosmopolitan has sent a telegram
to President Roosevelt containing a
proposition for the settlement Of the coal
strike. In part the telegram said:
Affairs are in such shape that there
seems to be no immediate way out Of the
coal strike difficulty except one-the plac-
ing of the matter by Mr.. Mitchell and his
associates in the hands of J. Pierpont
Morgan
After going into details of meeting
Mitchell, Morgan. Perkins and others, the
dispatch tells OF a meeting with Mr.
Morgan and continues:
He held in his hand paper in which
he agreed, while disclaiming authority
over the railways concerned, to undertake
personally to bring about a satisfactory
adjustment If the matter was placed in
his hands-tO endeavor to find such terms
that both miners and operators would
be likely to preserve friendly relations.
IT carried away with me the conviction
that Mr. Morgan. in taking upon himself
the grave responsibility, had fully weighed
all that was involved, and that the miners
would have everything to hope for in the
final adjustment
I'm an interview with Mr. Mitchell he
expressed himself as having absolute
confidence In Mr.. Morgan's good faith
and as being willing, if his action alone
was required, to commit the entire mat
ter without a moments hesitat1on. Mr..
| Morgan. would not take the burden upon
himself, 1t was argued, without being sure
of his ability to reconcile all differences.
If, through your generous intervention,
Mr.. Mitchell should place the matter un
reservedly in the hands Of Mr.. Morgan.
it would be a trust of the highest charac-
ter, which I am sure you will feel, in
common with the public would be worth
| lily administered"

the law action taken by the department. you
are advised:

The law. therefore, lays down the rule that
the reserve shall be maintained, but lodges a
discretion with the controller and with the Sec
rotary Of the treasury as to the enforcement OF
the rule You are. therefore, notified that the
rule will not be enforced far as 1t relates
government deposits secured by government
bonds
1t must be borne in mind in this connection
that 1t IS not the intention of the department
to encourage increased credit. On the contrary,
very great conservatism should be exercised.
But it is the desire Of the department that
worthy business interest shall asuffer simply

MANNED BY NEGROES
Was an American Schooner Cap

Havana, Oct. 6.-One of Cubas tiny
revenue cutters, the Abejorrb, has towed
into this port the American schooner
Champion Of Key West, which was cap
tured at Los Arroyos.
The Champion had been out thirty five
days, bound for Batabano, not more than
a weeks voyage distant, and when cap
tured had only covered half the distance.
1t is believed cargo was secretly landed
at Arroyos.
Aboard the vessel is said to have been
found tackle for catching turtle and q
large quantity Of dynamite which was to
have been used to destroy two large
wrecked vessels near Arroyos. These would
have yielded large return of brass and
copper.
The captured vessel is manned by

ENGLISH COAL PRICES GO UP.

London Oct. 6.-Continuance of the coal strike
in the United States has given a hllip to the
market here, and 1t is now believed that the de-
mand will not be flash in the pan, but
will last at least over the present month. Fur
Their purchases of coal are reported at all large
exporting centers. and quite number Of vessels
have been fixed to load cargoes for American
ports at Cardiff, Swansea. Newcastle, Liver
pool and Glasgow. One quantity far con-
tracted for is very considerable, and the work
goes OH apace. to the advantage of the freight
market and the qualification Of shpowners. This
unprecedented export Of coal to the United
States naturally has the effect of raising prices
on the London market, and, with the continuation
of the strike, prices are bound to go materially
higher.
