"DECIDEDLY
INTERESTING"
How Mr.. Henderson's Position Was
Regarded by the President and
His Advisers.
The Presidents Position on Cuban
Reciprocity and Trusts Was
Endorsed Yesterday.
The Matter of Tariff Revision Will
Not Be Taken Up at the
Short Session.
Nsac Yorhe Sum Special Serv1ce

~ Oyster Bay, L. l., Sept 17.-While Sem
ators Hanna, Aldrich, Spooner, Allison and
Lodge and Secretary Payne were discuss
ing the tariff with the president late yes
terday the news from Iowa about the re-
fusal of Speaker Henderson to accept a
renornina ton was conveyed to Sycamore
Hill, Everybody was very much sur
prised, and for a time all refused to be-
Iieve that the news could be true. 10
was agreed that Mr.. Henderson's position
was decidedly interesting.
Cuban Reciprocity.
Regarding the business of the confer
ence, it is rumored that the senators one
and all agreed to the presidents position
with regard to Cuban reciprocity. There
was a long and rather diffuse discussion Of
the subject, which ended with the agree
ment that it would be wise to adopt the
presidents view as a party view. -"
The president said that he was going to-
talk Cuban reciprocity in his western
speeches, particularly in Michigan and
other beet sugar states. He was not go-
ing to make it seem, he told the senators,
that he had one tongue for the east and
another for the west. He thought every
thing to be gained and nothing lost
by a clear understanding in the beet sugar
states of exactly what the presidents dis
position is as regards the reciprocity STU
alton.
The senators and the postmaster general
agreed with him in his determination that
it was we'll to talk frankly to the people
! of the beet sugar states.
AS to Tariff Revision.
| AS to tariff revision, the conference
came to the conclusion that the next ses-
| sion of congress was too short to eXpecu
to accomplish any serious work on PROB
lem Of such great extent.
The advisabilty of tariff revision was
not finally passed upon. But it was set
| tied once for all that the job of deciding
| upon revision and the nature of the reVl-
sion, should any be made, will go over Tor
a long session of congress.
| The Trust Program.
The same informant said that the presi-
| dent showed the utmost tenacity in hold
ing to his theories, with which he has
made the people familiar in his speeches,
| regarding trusts
! The rather remarkable statement was
made that the senators, after a long dis
cussion of the matter with him, agreed
that he could do nothing better than to go
on promulga ting his plans and theories OF
trust control in the west, as he has done
in the east
The Babcock plan, that Of putting trust
made products on the free list, was not
mentioned.
The political situation in the western
states which the president is to visit on
the trip which he will begin on Friday was
also reviewed with the western senat tors
and Mr. Payne. There was nothing much
that was particularly new in that, but the
4 presidents informal ton was brought up to
4 date.

Halvor STEVENSON is nominated in the
ninth district beyond question: He car
ried his own county Of Polk by a heavy
vote, and is also believed to have carried
Clay, the home Of S. G. Comstock. He
carried Beltrami, Rosseau, Red Lake and
Becker. Second place is close between
Grindeland and Valentine. The latter
has given up the fight.
Valentine carried Otter Tail county, but
the vote was very light. Half the pre-
cincts gave Valentine $50, Grindeland and
Stevenson $50 each, but the rest will
nearly wipe out Valentines lead, as they
are strongly Scandinavian. The vote was

COAL COMPANY GIVES UP,

Shamokin, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE Llewllyn
Coal company has granted a 10 per cent
increase and an eight-hour day to their
men.
. Thirty men of the Royal Oak collery,
owned by the Llewllyn company, went
back to work, but they were persuaded to
go home and wait until the other and
larger companies announced concessions.
1t is believed here among the miners
that the strike is really ended, and that
the surrender of the other coal companies
is merely a question of time.

APPROACHING THE TOWNS
Fire Situation Along the Wyoming
Colorado Line Is Becoming
More Alarming.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. ia telephone
message from Grand Encampment says
the forest fire situation is growing more
alarming along the Wyoming-Colorado
line.
The residents of Pearl, Col, and En-
campment fear that unless the fires are
soon checked the towns may be wiped out.
The fires are creeping dangerously close
to the mining camps and ranching settle
ments and while no loss of life has been
reported, it is feared isolated miners,
prospectors and sheep herders may get
caught in the sea of flames sweeping over
the district and perish before aid can
reach them. so
