BRITISH APPLAUD PRESIDENT
L'ndOn Pr'si Loudly Approves Policy Of
Strike Settlement
FAILURE NOT DUE TO FAULT OF PLAN
Times Thinks Roosevelt Has Yet Some
UndevelOped scheme Whereby
He VIII Bring the Recall
citrants to Time.

LONDON, Oct. 4-Presldent Roosevelt's
Intervention In the coal strike attracts
great attention In Great Britain. Pending
Its decision, business in the American end
the Stock exchange was virtually at a
I'll and the coal market is certain
trongly affected. Long dispatches
From e United States describing the sltua-
tion are published In the newspapers this
morning. which nearly all print editorials
applauding President Roosevelts courage
in ignoring tradition and red tape in the
endeavor to end the dispute, but display
ing no surprise at the failure Of his lauda-
BILE efforts.
The Standard says: President Roose-
velts action raises questions important to
every Industrial community The question
Of how far ought the executive OF state to
interfere in labor conflicts is a point which.
with the kindred subject of international
arbitration, is one on which II is easier to
cherish praiseworthy ideals than to reduce
them to practice"
Patriotism Not Enough.
The Daily Chronicle considers that
praiseworthy appeals to patriotism and
good feeling do not suffice in such cases;
that the conclliator must go to the heart
Of the matter and discuss the points In
dispute and Of possible concession OF detail
in the presence Of both parties.
The Times expresses the hope that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Intervention may not be
without success and says that the head
executive should attempt to mediate In
labor dispute and risk the chance Of fail
ure, argues either that he entertains an
almost certain conviction Of success or that
he holds the position to be growing both
desperate and intolerable." The Times then
refers to the rumor that 1t is the inten-
tion of the Washington government itself
to undertake coal mining in Pennsylvania
and says: President Roosevelt has shown
himself before now to be a man OF infinite
resources and one whom It is dificult to
defeat 1t is rather to his powers OF per-
suasion that one hopes his ultimate sue
cess will be due"
Orders for welsh Coal.
Inquiries made at Liverpool show that
large orders for Lancashire and North
Wales coal continue to be received from
America. but that the exporters have great
dificulty in getting freights. the rates for
which have been increased 81 during the
present week.
The president Of the Miners National
union, Mr.. Bert, M. p, in his monthly cir
cular to the Northumberland miners, refers
TO the coal strike in the United States.
He says: Evidently the strike Of 100000
Pennsylvania miners is coming to an un-
satisfactory end, because the men are re-
turning to work In small batohes probably
starved into acceptance of the employers
terms. They were the poorest and lowest
paid laborers in the United States"

CRUSHING OUT THE BOXERS
New vicerOy of Chi Ii Proceeds with
Great RigOr Against the
Society.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Minister Conger's
dispatches to the state department show
that Yuan shih Kai, the viceroy of Chi Ii
is really in earnest In his expressed de-
termination to crush the boxers in his sec
tlon OF China. A proclamation issued by
him dated the 18th OF the seventh month
august 2O 1902, just published in the Of
fetal organ and Mr.. Conger encloses a copy.
1t concludes as follows:
Whoever can apprehend a boxer chief
and give him UP to the authorities he will
be literally rewarded. But those who per-
sist in dlsobeying and practice boxing in
secret, going Of their own will and accord
they will be punished with the utmost
rigor. No leniency will be shown"

Locally among those who are prominent
In the live stock market recent announce
ments Of a proposed combination OF stock
raisers and railway companies to fight the
prospective merger OF the packing COM
panies are not received with much show of
credence. Telegraphic dispatches OF the
last two days from Denver and Kansas
City state that a company OF stockmen,
with the sympathy and assistance OF the
largest western railroads. is being formed
with a capital of from $40, 900. 900 to s15.-
OO000O for the purpose of fighting the
merger Of the packing houses. President
John w. Springer OF the National Live
Stock association is quoted as the author
ity for the declaration Of the intentions OF
the new organization and c. F. Morse,
president Of the Kansas City and Denver
Stock Yard companies, is said to have pro-
claimed his sympathy with the project and
to have assured his promoters that his
yards will stand by the stockmen and IL
necessary build an independent plant for
them at Kansas City.
Those who are most prominently engaged
in the handling OF live stock at this point
declare the plans as announced to be lack
ing in the elements Of probability or au-
thenticity. One OF these gentlemen, in re-
viewing the question last evening, said:
''In the first place. have no doubt that
II new company were formed with a cap
ital of SO. .000,0 900 or 100000 President
Morse would provide accommodations for
it at Kansas City even II. as it is stated.
he should have to purchase additional land
to make rooom for the new company But
It does not look reasonable to me that any
association of sensible business men should
deliberately start out with any such capi-
tai as that to fight such a gigantic power
as that trust will be II II Is formed. That
would be simply ridiculous. Mind, l do
not say that the stockmen. could not get
together much more capital than ten or
fifteen millions II they should set about It;
but even II they we're determined upon
the course stated II seems to me that 1t
is hardly probable they would begin their
operations so openly before the merger IS
formed Then. too. the National Live
Stock association, although originally in
tended to embrace all classes Of those who
raise live stock has come to be dominated
by the sheep men and cannot properly be
called a representative association of cat
tie growers. My impression would be that
the reports, as we have them, are largely
inflated with what is termed hot air

Man Closely Connected with the Live

KANSAS CITY, Oct. &C. F. Morse,
president Of the Kansas City ana Denver

Denver story to the effect that the Ma
tional Live Stock association, western

said.
l have recently been called on by repre-
sentatives of some OF the principal live
stock associations of the southwest as to
the attitude which the Kansas City Stock
Yards company would take toward the es-
adjustment OF large packing plant at
this place to be owned by cattlemen. j. w.
Springer, the president Of the National Live
Stock association, said that he thought
there would be no difficulty in raising a
capital OF SlO,OO0,O00 or Sl50O0,O00 for this
purpose. While / am not authorized to
speak for the company at this time, Il Is my
Judgment II such company should he
organized the stock yards would be glad

has shown to other companies in the past

Increased Capacity to Enjoy Life

Habit is everything. One can form
the habit of being sour and cross, and
disagreeable November Success tells
US that does not contribute TO the high
est success 1t says:
Nothing contributes more to the
highess success than the formation of
a habit OF enjoy ing things. Whatever
your calling in life may be, whatever
micfortunes or hardships may come to
you, make up your mind resolutely
that, come what may, you will get the
most possible real enjoy ment out Of
every day; that you will increase your
capacity for enjoying life, by trying to
find the sunny side Of every expert
ence OF the day. Resolutely determine
that on will see the humorous side OF
things. No matter how hard or un.
yielding your environment may seem
to be, there is a sunny side il you can
only zee it. The mirth- provoking
faculty, even under trying circum-
stances, is worth more TO young man
or woman starting out in life than a
fortune without it. Make up your mind
that you will be an opiimist, that there
shall be nothing OF the pessimist about
you, and you will carry your own sun
shine wherever you 90.
There is longevity in the sunny soul
that eases our iolts and makes our
sides shake with laughter,
There is wonderful medicinal effect
in good cheer Good news and glad
tidings have magic effect even upon
invalns.
We often see whole store or factory
or home transformed bv one sunny
soul. On the other hand, we have
seen them blighted and made dark by
a gloomy, morose, fault finding person.
Good Cheer

A Cure In the FaiIur~

"Did you ever notice that, as rule
the persons who seek death and are
rescued from the grave never court the
society of the dark angel againy'
The propounder of the question was
a hospital physician. and he proceeded
to explain:
"What mean is that OF all the per.
sons who attempt suicide and are foil
ed but few try self murder a second
time. Probably one-half, If not more.
of all those who try to kill themselves
are frustrated The percentage of those
who leap into the dark river second
time is exceedingly small. have tried
to discover the reason for this from the
lips of those who have gone through
the terrible experience, but have NOT
met with success.
at is queer that persons, after devot-
ing weeks and months to considera-
ton of so momentous a question and
deciding to end their existence, should.
when foiled, declare that they were
fools and swear never to do the like
again. Yet this is what Is done In q
large majority Of instances. Those who
have stared at death seem to live life
anew. The past is elfaced; n new light
seems to have dawned. The sunshine
is dearer. the air is purer 1t is the
convalescent taking great drafts of the
outdoor air with keenness OF relish
that was unknown before"
