rlr. MacQueen's Lecture.

The lecture by Rev. Peter MacQueen.
advertised for last evening, had to be
postponed until Friday evening as the
speaker was delayed in returning from
Venezuela in quarantine. The lecture in
Music Hall on Beautiful Russia, the
Empire of the White Gar" will be well
worth hearing and the speaker gives all
the proceeds of the entertainment to the
Congregational church at st. Johnsbury
Center. Mr.. MacQueen had special
privilege from the Car which has only
been given one other American and this
gave him an opportunity to see the
wealth and greatness of Russia. He has
Travelled all over the globe and often been
intrusted with important government
business and he is an entertaining and
easy speaker. Besides showing 15C
views of Russia he will incidentally
speak of his recent trip to Venezuela
Rarely has a lecturer visited ST.. Johns
bury who is better qualified to speak
upon his subject, and he and the caus'
for which he speakes deserves a larg
audience.

Praise for a TOwnsman.

We received a call Wednesday of
last week, from our old friend VIM. c.
Powers, of St. Johnsbury, regular sub
scriber of the Union for 81 years says
Editor Chase. "Bill" was one of the
playmates of the Editors boyhood days.
He was raised on the farm west OF the
Hoffman place. About 60 years ago we
used to 60 to school together in the old
Lyndon Academy, and at recess we used
to take him out into the yard and sit on
him. It wasn't necessary to make a
cushion of him, but we enjoyed it because
there was lot of stuff in him and it was
fun to see him squirm and fight. His
fighting didn't count much but it seemed
to please him. About so years ago Bill
entered the harness shop of Charles Hill
and commenced stitching tugs. He has
been in the stitching business ever since
and no man was ever more industrious,
thorough and honest i'll his work. He
never learned how to do poor Job.
Nearly 80 years ago we paid him $40
for a harness, which seemed like a big
price, but we never had chance to buy
new one since because we never could
wear the old one out. Some years after
learning his trade he went into the en-
ploy Of the Lyndon Carriage Co. as
trimmer and upholsterer, and the quail
ity of his work was one Of the features
which gave reputation to the Lyndon
buggy. He afterwards established a
harness shop in the room where Meigs
Weeks now trades, and remained there,
employing several hands until be was
called into the service of the Miller & Ryan
Carriage Co., where he still remains, as
industrious and competent in service as
| ever

Howe'S Moving Pictures.

Even at W1lkesbarre, Pa, where the
coal strikes are so much in evidence and
consequently money is scarce, there was
very little standing room at the recent
exhibition of Howe's Moving Pictures.
The Wilkesbarre Record says: Sixty
series of pictures were shown and all
were better, finer and rarer, than any
ever seen here. All in all it is the greatest
show of the kind in America today"
Be sure to see them at Music Hall next
Wednesday evening.

two more bodies in an alley.
The bodies were all stolen from GEN.

gineer officer; an expert mining en-
gineer not connected with the coal

ern district of Pennsylvania; man
of prominence eminent as a sOciOlogist;
and man who by active participa-
ton in mining and selling coal is fami-

cial features of the business.
Men Must Return to Work.
The operators also make it part Of
their stipulation that the miners shall
return to work as soon as the commits

mission is to name a date when it's
findings shall be effective and to gov

Morgan in the Conference.
By authority Of J. P. Morgan, who
with his partner, Robert Bacon, and
Secretary Root were in conference with
President Roosevelt at the temporary
White House last night for an hour
and half, a statement was given
out by Secretary Cortelyou, which con-
tains the foregoing, which is the opera
tors proposal slightly condensed, but
containing everything material. The
proposition is believed by the admins
ers, as it covers the proposition made
by President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers union, with additional
conditions which it is believed the min
ers will accept.
Operators Address the Public.
The operators statement is long and
is addressed to the public. 1t tells of
a reign of terror in the anthracite field
which either Mitchell is unaware of
or shuts his eyes to and gives a sched-
ule of the crimes committed by the
strikers which it is claimed are all
proyable by the court records or the
reports of military officers in the dis
turbed district. 1t also explains anew
the position of the operators as to
arbitration and why they finally sub
NIT the proposal for arbitrator as
given in the foregoing.
White House Is Optimistic.
At the White House the opinion was
expressed that the way is now open
for a complete settlement of the strike
and that the mines would soon be in
operation once more. The issuance Of
the statement followed conference at
the White House which assembled very
quickly after Morgan and his partner,
Robert Bacon, had reached Washing
ton. Morgan and Bacon arrived in
Washington about 10 p. m. yesterday
and drove at once to the Arlington ho-
tel. They met Secretary Root and
the three gentlemen walked over to the
White House and were shown at once
to the presidents room. They re-
NAMED with the president until 1850
O'Clock and then came down stairs.
One end of the job was done. The
next move will be the presentation of
the matter to the miners, and 1t is prob

in Constant Conference.
New York, Oct. II. Yesterday was
busy day in this city for the coal
operators. Before noon all Of them
except President Baer were in con-
ference at the office Of the Erie road.
Their talk lasted over an hour, but
no statement was made for publica-
ton. Following this conference Chair
man Thomas, of the Erie road. and
President Truesdale, OF the Lackawan-
ma. were closeted with j. 2. Morgan
at the latter's office. Morgan would
not talk about the situation nor would
he say anything regarding Secretary
Roots visit to him last Saturday.
Philadelphia, Oct. ii. - Numerous
conferences took place in this city yes
terday relative to the anthracite coal
miners strike, the more prominent of
the participants being President Baer,
of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company; President Cassatt,
of the Pennsylvania railroad, and Unit
ed States Senator Quay. The proceed
ings at the various meetings We're not
divulged. AS President Baer was leav-
his office in the Reading terminal
building last evening he was asked as
to the truth of the report that the OPP
orators contemplated offering the strik-
inc miners an increase. To this and
all other questions he returned his US
uaI answer-t1lat he had nothing to
say.
President Baer returned to this city
from New York early yesterday morn
ing. At a. m. he went to the Of
fee of President Cassatt, remaining
in conference with the latter about
forty-five minutes. After Baer had de-
parted Cassatt proceeded to the office
of General Isaac Wistar, president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company's
anthracite coal companies. While the
two were in conference Senator Quay
arrived. AS he was leaving Cassatt's
office he was asked: us President
Cassatt making any effort to procure a
settlement OF the strike, and have you
been the bearer of any message from
President Roosevelt to Mr.. Cassatt!''
The senator declined to answer but
Immediately proceeded to Baer's Of
fee, where he remained in conference
with the Reading company's president
for a short time.

MUST HOLD CONVENTION
Officers of the Miners Union Have NJ
Power to Settle the Strike.

Officers of the Miners Union Have No
Power to Settle the Strike.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct 14.-President
Mitchell at uoon stated to The Associ-
ated Press representative that no set
Element can be made by the officers Of
the union without the consent of con-
ventiOn.
The situation at the collieries re-
mains unchanged with every prospect
Of it remaining so while the present ar
bitration plan is under consideration.
The soldiers were sent out through the
outlying territory as usual, but they
found nothing to do.
Dispatches from the anthracite coal
region indicate that the men on strike
do not take kindly to the arbitration
plan proposed by the preside IS OF the
coal-carrying railroads. Notwithstand-
ing the apparent hostility to the plan
of settlement, the belief prevails in
coal circles in this city that after care
full reflection and consideration the
sentiment of the strikers, who are anx-
ious to return to work, will influence a
majority of those charged with the
handling of the strikers side of the
question The situation. summed up
briefly, is still mixed, but the outlook
for an ending of the strike at no very
distant date is regarded as hopeful.
