dent and his advisers that It will be eff

feCfige.
fective Just how. no one can say. though
there is suggestion Of q temporary ar
rangement which will tide over the cold
weather. It is stated by member OF the
cabinet that there is no political purpose
in this effort. but that the President Is
moved to exert his influence solely in the
interests OF the people.
POLITICS AS A MOTIVE.
In other attempts. 1t Is said, the opera
tors felt that politics were the most prom
inent motive In this effort the story Is
revived of the settlement of the strike OF
1900. The operators claim that when that
strike was settled. under press OF poll
teal exigency, the settlement paved the
way for the present strike. 1t is aiso
claimed that the miners have hoped that
political influence would again be exert
ed in their behalf, and the operators
compelled to make further concessions.
The efforts of Senators Quay and Pen
rose. of Pennsylvania; Senator Platt. OF
New York. and Governor Stone. OF Penn
sylvania, have been pointed to as ver1-
f1cation of the claim Of the operators.
All this. they say, is due to the settle
ment which was made in 1900.
All these various questions have been
discussed in the past few days. the Legal
situation and the power of the President
President would do more by bringing the
two parties together than in any other
way There will be none but principals
present on Fridays meeting.
It is true that Friday is Cabinet day, and
II o'clock the hour appointed for the
meeting of the coal magnates, is the
hour for the assembling of the Cabinet.
but according to the present understand
ing the Cabinet meeting VIII be post
poned. The purpose of the President is
plainly to relieve the invited guests from
the feeling of reserve that might nat,i-
rally be created if ,ney appeared before
the entire Cabinet. including some ex-
ceedingly clever lawyers. whom the coal
people might not care to meet in busi-
ness way. in the absence of their own
legal advisers. So the absence of the
Cabinet will give the President an oppor-
tunity to do just what he wants. namely
to have a good heart-to-heart talk with
the operators and Mr.. Mitchell. to in
duce them to talk to each other freely
and soberly. and finally to agree II pos
sible to make concessions on each side.

ONLY TEN STORES NOW
Proposed Druggists Combi-
nation Not An AS
sured Fact.

The proposed merger of the retail drug
gists, it is said, will include probably not
more than ten stores. Mr.. T. "A. Miller
would say nothing last night, but the
impression was broadcast that the drug
gists would sell their stock outright, and
not combine simply to keep up prices
and do away with competition. The COM
bination, according to the plan, will take
over the stock. the inventory of which
is now progressing. and a stock COM
pany will be formed Each druggist en-
tering the merger will have the privi-
Iege of subscribing to this stock, in which
event the druggist will become manager
of one of the branches. After a two
years trial the salary afterwards will
be fixed according to the volume of
business done by the individual branches.
The proposed combination may serious
ly affect the trade in the wholesale dis
trict, as it is intimated that the COM
pany, if formed, will purchase its sup
plies direct from the large manufacturers,
thus cutting out the middle men. For
this reason some opposition and re-
tarding influence will possibly develop
among the wholesale druggists.
While a large number of the retail men
are reported to have been approached
with the view of combining. many are
ayerse to the idea and hold distinctly
aloof, preferring to retain their individu-
atty.
1t is believed in drug circles that this
combination is by no means anEassured
fact: that options only have Been OBJ
tained and very little information will
be brought to light until the plans Of the
merger take more definite shape. No one
mentioned in the deal can be found 10
make any statement. which silence is in
dcative that the whole merger is yet in
an embryonic form.

WILL DIVIDE THE WORLD.
Ryan Says That's the Way Tobacco
Companics Will Do.

NEW YORK. October l-tSpecial.)-
Thomas T. Ryan, director of tle Ameri-
can Tobacco Trust, who has just re-
turned from England, made clear to-day
that the deal he was instrumental in
concluding between british and American
tobacco interests was a compromise
measure
There has been misunderstanding
about the matter" said Mr.. Ryan. 1T
is true that the agreement has been
made with the English dealers.
The matter stands just this way now:
The Imperial Tobacco Company and the
American Tobacco Company have divid-
ed the worlds trade territory. The I'm
periai Company will have no competition
from us in the tobacco trade of the United
Kingdom. Our company will have no op-
position from them in the United States
and Cuba.
The rest OF the world territory will
be controued by the two companies joint
ly, working on the pooling agreement.
This was the plan decided upon when I
sailed and / presume the details will be
worked out along that line.

AGAINST LIQUOR men
Rules Issued Against Sunday
LaW-Breakers--To Be
Tried This Month.

Judge Witt, of the Hastings Court has
caused rules to be issued against all Of
the liquor dealers of the city who have
recently been convicted in the Police
Court of selling liquor on Sunday, to show
cause if any they can, why their
licenses should not be revoked and an
nulied for the disregard of the law The
rules have been made returnable on the
first day of the October term and will
likely be heard and determined at that
time.
Judge Witt explained yesterday even
ing that these rules had not been issued
during the summer because it was neces-
sary that they be attended to in term
time and that no term had been hello
since the July term until the present
one.

Grand JurysTnke. Recess.


The special grand jury, which has been
probing alleged "crookedness' in munici-
pal affairs reconvened yesterday morn
ing at IL o o'clock, and after being in ses-
sion until about 2:30 o'clock, were adj
oourned again at their own request until
tomorrow morning at II o'clock. The
greatest secrecy is maintained concerning
the work of the grand jury. and it is abso-
iutely impossible to secure any informa-
tlon as to what the results of the in
curry will be. Why the grand jury asked
for another recess can not be conjectured
unless more time is needed for the pre-
parat1on of the report that has been
promised to the public. It is not expected
that there will be any further indictments,
but fully as much interest attaches to the
forthcoming report as if there were going
to be wholesale indictments.

We're Messrs. ~. V. Meredith, L. B. Hicks,

October I, 1902.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
If the spirit back of the resolutions OF
the Richmond alumni is nothing but 10y
atty to the University. I have no fault
to find with them. Then at least 1t is
only a matter of judgment as to whether
the policy Is foreign or detrimental"
and from all I can judge from the report
of the proceeding. it was not very good
atmosphere in which to form a clear and
accurate opinion as to the best policy for
the growth and usefulness of the Uni
versity. It seems to me that the men
who have the full responsibility of the
final decision in such matters should be
left untrammeled by resolutions of this
kind.

WASHINGTON, October President
Roosevelt will make an effort TO bring
the anthracite coal mine owners and their
striking employees together in the inter-
est Of the public good. This conclusion
was reached after a series of conferences
with his cabinet advisers. covering yes
terday and to-day. The decision was ar
rived at when the lawyers in the cabinet
informed the President that there was
no way under the Constitution and form
Federal intervention to end the strike.
This phase of the situation was canvass
ed, and the determination to have the
mine operators and President Mitchell
meet the President, was determined on
when it was found that no other method
was open.
At the conclusion of the conference to-
day, which was attended by. Secretaries

WELL-AUTHENTICATED RUM0R
The Captain, However, Refuses to

Believed Tint One of These Veteran
Officers Will BE Chosen to Succeed

inE-Grand Jury Adjourns Until

There was a well defined }rumor last
night that Captain James B. Angle now
under suspension. had written his resigna-
ton as a member of the police force, or
would do SO to-day in advance of the reg
ular monthly meeting of the Board of
Police Commissioners this afternoon.
Dligent inquiry on the part of the Dis
patch, traced this rumor to a source,
which in the past, has been found to be
almost unerringly accurate. This source,
it may be well to state, is outside the
police department.
To verify this rumor. the city editor of
the Dispatch addressed personal note
to Captain Angle at his home, on west
Clay street las. night. In reply to the
papers request for confirmation or denial
of the report. Captain Angle replied:

Conferred With His Family.
The refusal of Captain Angle to deny
the rumor is taken to indicate its correct
ness. Before replying to the Dispatch.
Captain Angle conferred for some time
with members of his family. This con-
ference. however. was in the privacy OF
the home circle.
Assuming the rumor to be true-and the
proba bilities are all that way-the next
question that arises is, will the board ac-
cept the resignation? 1t is believed the
commissioners would, for the reason.
among others. that it would releve them

substantiating specifications in support OF

among the best on the force Sergeant
Jeter received his appointment to the
force soon after the war and on July l.
1881 he was made sergeant. During the
war between the States he served with
honor in the Ninth Virginia regiment
He was born in Amelia county on May
Is. 1897.
Sergeant Shinherger was elected to the
police force on March. 1850, and in 1895
he was made sergeant, after acting SER
geant for about twelve years. He. too
was Confederate soldier, serving in sew
eral commands with credit to himself and
the cause. He has been on detailed
duty since march. 1894. There is probably
not a finer man on the force.
other Changes Expected.
That there is a belief among the Off
GERS and members of the police force,
that heads will be chopped off. is demon
strated by the fact that there is general
campaign on foot for promotion. Inc
sergeants are looking after any vacancies
that may be created above them. and the
privates for any promotion to the RANK OIL
sergeant or acting sergeant A number
of city officials have been approached with
requests to look out for members who are
seeking promotion. In many cases clti-
zens are canvassing for their friends on
the force.
1t cannot be forecast what will be at
tempted this afternoon at the meeting
OF the board for the reason that the MEM
bers have kept their mouths closed as
never before. and are refusing absolutely
to talk. Until the case against Captain
Angle is disposed of it is not expected
that anything else will be attempted, even
il other things are in contemplation The
reputed caucuses of a majority of the
members of the board. and their refusal
to say anything about the troubles in the
police department, has caused a belief
that the grand "shake-up'' is coming,
