UNFOLDING him. Alfonso is angry and
remains obdurate. The president
says he will not speak at all unless al

MINERS FAVOR THE PLAN.
No Valid Fear That Arbitration Will
Be Rejected.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. lin accord
ance with the call issued yesterday by
order of the executive boards of the
anthracite districts of the Miners I'm
ion. all locals throughout the coal
field began electing delegates to-day to
the convention which will be held here
next Monday to consider the accept
ance or rejection of the arbitration plan
submitted by President Roosevelt
Most locals held their meetings to-
night.
1t is practically certain that a ma
jority of the delegates will come to the
convention instructed to vote in favor
of accepting the arbitration scheme.
The prominent officials of the union
say there is no fear that the opposi-
ton Will be strong enough to defeat
the efforts of those who favor ending
the strike by arbitration of their diff
ferences with the operators. President
Mitchell will go into the convention
and make a strong speech for the ac-
ceptance of the arbitration scheme.
The indications are that the conven-
ton Will last two days, and that there
Will be much debate on various fea-
lures of the arbitration plan. The con-
ditions at some collieries are different
from those existing at other places.
Ihe principal question to be discussed
before the plan is accepted by the min
ers will be that of taking care of all
the men. The operators will not dis
miss the non-union men in order to
give employment to returning striker.
1t is understood the union will take
care of all such men who fail to find
immediate employment. This will be
done by drawing funds from the re-
lief fund, which is said to be still grow
ing.
The coal companies will do all in
their power to meet the public demand
for coal. Preparations for resuming
as soon as the miners call the strike
off are going on apace. 1t is estimated
that % per cent. of the collierieS will
be in operation on the first day after
the suspension is over.

America first for money, instead Of

The experience of the generals so far
has been rather disappointing. There
have been plenty of cheers, but little
money has been contributed for the re-
lief of the Beers. One American con-
tributed more than all Germany. The
total gathered is $67 500.
The visiting generals spent the morn
ing in receiving callers. From time to
time they showed themselves on the
hotel balcony to the crowds. and the
'latter always raised a cheer. Gen.
DeWet~ remarked:

were alleged by the authorities to lie
indecent. Miss Craddock came origin

attention by her defense of the dance

she maintained was a solemn religious
performance. She was a woman of Gull
