for child labor. One operator said the
condition of child labor in the coal
region is much better than it is in the
manufacturing districts of the country
that the wages paid are better and the
working hours shorter. At strike

oner Of the mill owners to give the
men an eight-hour day under a new
scale Of wages, and there will be no
milling strike in Minneapolis. s. The
new arrangement will 60 into effect
Monday, Oct. 10. The proposition Of
the mill owners was adopted amid
great enthusiasm and cheers were
given for the various mill managers.
The offer Of the managers was adopted
without much opposition. although a
few wished to stand by the demand
for eight hours on the same pay. A
concession of two weeks in the time
at which the new order was to 60 into:

animous vote. *zs.ss s- i 8 s.s :

The scale upon which the eight

cent a day. At present they. receive
$1.75 per day Under the new regime
they get 20 cents an hour, or $1.B per
day. All the men now receiving So

for eight hours. The $3.50 men will
get 20 cents per hour. The grade of

getting 81 a day will get 2311 cents
per hour for eight hours. ~~>
When all the mills in the milling
centers of America are put on the
eight-hour basis a raise III the pres
ent scale of wages will be asked for,
but at present the men are willing to
accept the milling companies offers.
The latter realize that even under the
compromise accepted by the men, they
are handicapped when competing with
outside mills who employ only two
shifts every twenty-four hours to the
three shifts which will hereafter be
employed by the local mills in the
same time.

PRESIDENT DENIES
PARDON TO TWELVE
Executive Clemency Extend
ed in Six Cases.
Life Sentence of a Murderer COMMITTED
to Expire Today-Other Terms
Shortened.

The President has denied twelve appli-
in six cases, as follows:
He commuted to a term of imprison-
ment, to expire April 1, 1902, the sentence
of Stephen Bussell, now serving life
term in the Ohio penitentiary for murder.
He has already served the equivalent of
twenty y-two-years' sentence. He was or
iginally sentenced to be hanged, but his
sentence was commuted to life imprison-
ment by President Harrison upon the
ground that he was not guilty of willful,
premeditated murder. The Attorney Cen
eral. in reporting upon the case to the
President, took the same view of the
case, and, believing that Bussell was not
guilty OF willful, premeditated murder,
thinks that the prisoner has been sufIi-
cientiy punished.
Samuel Smith. boy convicted of steal
ing postage stamps in the Northern dis
trict of Georgia and serving a four year
term in the Reform School of the District
of Columbia was pardoned. He has served
the greater part of his sentence. and one
of his eyes was accidentally destroyed by
pEisuHtT Inc bOdTus OF trustees
OF the Reform School and the United
States Attorney and trial judge recon-
mend his pardon, and the Attorney Gen
eral concurred in the recommendation.
Owen Donnelly, who was sentenced to i'm
prisonment for ninety days in the work
house for yagrancy. had his sentence
commuted TO expire Immediately 1t ap-
peared that Donnelly. an inmate of the
Soldiers Home at Hampton, Va. came to
Washington to undergo a medical exami-
nation, became intoxicated, and was sent
down for ninety days for yagrancy. His
sentence was commuted so that he might
return to the Soldiers Home.
The sentence of Bud Miller, who was
convicted of horse theft in the Indian
Territory. and on November IS, 1900, was
sentenced to Imprisonment for five years.
was commuted to Imprisonment for two
years, with allowances for good behavior
The recommendation of the Attorney Gen
eral is based upon the opinion that in this
particular case the minimum sentence of
five years was excessive.
The President also pardoned in order
to restore their civil rights, James H.
Tourtillott. OF Wisconsin, and Peter j.
Monaghan, jr., OF Chicago.

trio of musicians, Hofmann, Gerardy, and

doubtless draw a large audience of music
lovers to the f Street playhouse. for in
their respective lines the three musicians

Joseph Holman is renowned as one of
the most marvellous panists that have
visited this country, while Gerardy stands
quite alone as a 'cellst. Kriesler, the

that the three musicians have Joined
forces for limited number OF concerts
is good news to the ,music-lovers OF the

large audiences. but the opportunity of

The charges against Captain Coghlan at

to the destruction of good morals.
The real accusation was that Lieutenant

Bettina Girard, former washingtonian,
who sings several songs In capital man

Her selections are calculated to enter
tain the average patron Of vaudeville bet
ter than the repertoire OF most vocalists,
while with her several changes OF cos
tune, her portion of the Empire bill is
signaily successful. Miss Girard was
warmly welcomed by both audiences yes
terday afternoon, and the fact that she
was compelled to respond TO a number
of encores is pretty good evidence OF the
favor with which she was received.
