The calling Of Congress in extra ses-

vlsers TO-DAY. but 1t is not strongly az,

naturally raises the question as to what
that body could do, even If called to-
rights of the State. of Pennsylvania to
deal with all yquestions within her bord-
srS is one granted by the Constitution,
and no act Of Congress could project the
versies until there was demand from
the State authorities. If an extra SEES

Congress could be gotten together inside
of a month. and in the mean time mat
tiers might eventuate at the coll1erles
which would make such a session I'M

prolongation of the struggle at. the

taken in time to relieve the people be

and Power Company. was the condition
that confronted the officials of the last
named company yesterday for several
hours.
There are fifteen carloads of coal in
the yards of the Coast-Line in Manches-
ter, and when a representative of the
Passenger and Power Company COM
planned yesterday that the coal was not
being delivered he was apprised Of the
fact that the officials of the company here
had been instructed from the general
offices at Wilmington, n. c., that no more
coal was to be delivered to any one until
further instructions.
There was nothing for Superintendent
Morton Riddle, Jr., to do but to obey
his instructions. In that event Mr.. Rid.
die had it in his power to hold the coal
and take no steps looking to the relief of
the company. Instead Of doing this he
grasped the seriousness Of the situation
quickly, and in short time had the wires
of his company hot with messages be-
tween his Office and the general offices.
The result of his effort was the issuance
of instructions to let the Passenger and
Power Company have five of the cars. Z
The officials of the electric company
commended that it was absolutely neces-.
3sary for them to have all Of the coal that
was consigned to their agents here for
immediate use. Mr.. Riddle left on one OF

WASHINGTON. D. c., October A.
tSpecial.)-The general moral effect Of
Executive moral suasion is to be the
main dependence of President Roosevelt
for the immediate present. in the matter
of the great coal strike. Face to face
with the most stupendouS problem of his
life, his mind every moment consiotr-
ing what is best 10 be done, the Presi-
dent will do nothing for few days until
the iul effect of public sentiment, the
raspinS OF newspapers, and the portsn-
touS future have eaten their way 10 the
very hearts OF the men who can settle
the coal strike If they will do SO. No
haSty action no false move, wise in
waiting, even though the country grows
angrier each minute, the President will
await developments. Big and strong.
courageous and confident, he feels that
some way will present itself for settle
minds and honest hearts is given to a
solution OF the perpleXing problems of
the hour. No extra session of Congress
Immediately. no Federal action in the
courts. or in an Executive way.
Such, briefly. is the situation at the
White House late tonight. All last

ration of the same eVentful subject was

early. and were with the President for
nearly two hours. Efforts to obtain

as the results of yesterdays conference;

Secretary Cortelyuu smiled, and said that
there would be no statements on the
strike situation to-day.
PRESIDENT STILL I'm 1T.
He didn't say, and has never said. that

COLOMBIANS ANXIOUS TO
GET MORE FOR CONCESSION

AT the Colombian legation 1t was de-
clared last night that the State De-
partment is mistaken in believing that
Minister Concha has had in his posses
sion for several weeks the instructions
OF his government to go ahead with
the canal treaty negotiations On the
contrary, il was asserted, the minis
ter did not receive the instructions un-
til last Saturday. and that within the
earliest possible time, that is, on Mon
day he communicated to the State De-
partment the fact that they had been
received.
1t was said also at the legation that
instead OF obstructing the negotiations,
Minister Concha has done everything
in his power to bring about a more lib
eral disposition On the part of his gov
ernment toward the United States.
These statements do not agree with
the understanding OF the State Depart
ment, which has had information. re-
garded hy il rs strictly reliable. that the
instructions we're received at the Colom-
bian legation some time ago. and that
their tone was distinctly favorable to-
ward granting the wishes of the United
