Work without Receiving Any
COncessiOns-SO the Norfolk and

still on ia Pennsylvania Fields.
Roanoke, Va, Sept. A telegram
was received here this afternoon from
Vice President and General Manager
l.. E. Johnson of the Norfolk and
Western Railway, stating that at a
meeting of the United Mine Workers,
held at Keystone, w. Va, to-day. the
strike of the coal miners, which has
existed in the Pocahontas and other
bituminous coal fields of the Virginias
since the sixth of last June, was de-
clared off, and that all the men We're
ordered to return to work on next
Monday.
The Norfolk and Western officials
here have not yet been advised as to
how the strike was settled, or what
concessions, if any, were granted by
either side.
The fire, which has been raging in
the Baby mine at Pocahontas since
Monday night is still burning to-day.
General Manager Johnson of the
Norfolk and Western was reached to-
night by telephone and asked what the
basis of settlement of the strike was.
and replied that there was no agree
ment at all, the mine workers simply
declaring the strike off, and ordering
the miners to return to work on next
Monday. There was no conference
with the mine operators or others in
tereSted in the strike.

REVIEWING THE ACCIDENT.
story That Driver Thought His Job
Worth More Than 81 900.

Washington, Sept. 4.-B. l.. Barnes,
assistant secretary to the President,
arrived here to-day Mr.. Barnes was
with the President at Pittsheld From
what he heard and saw on the spot,
he thinks the responsibility for the ac-
cident lies between the driver of the
carriage and the motorman, with the
greater burden upon the latter The
trolley road at the point, he
says, is straight for some dis
lance and the motorman must
have seen and recognized the carriage
with it's four white horses, he thinks,
some time before the crossing was
reached, but instead of stopping or
materially reducing his speed he came
on at a rate that made it impossible
for him to stop when he saw that a
collision was imminent.
The driver of the carriage, on the
other hand, could hardly have had a
clear view of the track at the point,
as the outriders on either side must
have INSTRUCTED it to some extent, at
least.
Among the people who gathered at
the scene of the disaster, it was sug-
gested that the driver of the carriage
may have taken greater chances in
crossing the track than he usually
would have taken. He undoubtedly
felt his Importance as a driver of the
Presidents landau and was reported
to have refused 81 200 to allow another
man to take his place for the day,

TO STOP THE STRIKE.
Measures Recommended by the Peo-
pies Alliance.


Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 4.-The conven-
ton of the Peoples Alliance, called
for the purpose of putting some plan
in operation for the settlement of the
anthracite miners strike, opened to-
day with about seventy-five delegates
in attendance, representing fifteen diff
ferent coal region towns.
The committee appointed to draw up
a plan for terminating the strike re-
ported unanimously for a special ses-
sion of the state Legislature to enact
the following legislation, as proposed
by the convention:
Compulsory arbitration; that present
legislation be revised; that the state
may have more power over foreign cor
porations doing business within It's
borders; the passage of law making
it illegal for any person under 81
years of age to be employed more than
eight hours day. and that those artI-
Giles of the state Legislature which re-
late to the control vested in the Legis-
lature over the charters of corporations,

bidding common carriers from being
interested in the production of any in
dustry be made effective.

the settlement plan was made per-
manent body and instructed to carry

MITCHELL ADVISED 1T.
Reported He Wanted Strike In the
Virginias to End,

Huntington, w. Va, Sept At is
now believed the coal strike in West
Virginia is practically at an end. At
mass meeting of miners from all the
coal fields along the Norfolk and West
ern Railroad to-day, it was almost
unanimously agreed to end the strike
provided the operators will take back
all the old miners; and the latter have
signiffed their intention of doing this.
1t is reported that President John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers,
advised the strikers to return to work
as he realized that winter is near at
hand, and the miners in this field could
not hold out much longer, as almost
everyone is dependent upon the union
for food and clothing.
1t is thought the strikers in the New
River and Kanawha fields will soon
follow the action of the strikers on the
Norfolk and Western. No violence
has been reported from any quarter
of the Norfolk and Western Coal field
to-day.

PITTSFIELD is INVESTIGATING
1t Is Busy Looking Into the Street
Car Accident.


Pittsfield, Mass. Sept. 4.-With the
excitement that followed the accident
to President Roosevelt's party in a
great measure abated, the citizens were
to-day discussing the question of re-
sponsibility for the occurrence, which
on all sides is considered as having
marred the city's fame.
To have had a street car disputing
the right of way with the President of
the United States was extremely dis
courteous. That the attempt to do
this resulted in a fatality, and in the
very narrow escape from death or in
jury of the President himself, and of
the Governor of the commonwealth is
considered as only adding to the gravi-
ty of the offense.
1t is argued also that the Pittsfield
street Railway Company should not
have disregarded the request of the
mayor that no cars should be run
while the President was in the city. 1t
is said that the city government takes
TINS view of the case. At any rate,
at meeting last night, a committee
or investigation was appointed, includ-
ing members of both branches of the
city government, with the Mayor at
NAAC LII To lIlS DOQy,
which will deal primarily with yester-
days accident, the Common Council
also appointed a committee to investi-
gate the question of the speed of street
cars in general and to report how it
may be regulated.
Less interest than was generally ex-
pected was shown in the appearance
before the District Court to-day of Mo-
torman Euclid Madden and Conductor
James Kelly, who had charge of the
car that struck the Presidents car
riage. Not more than fifty persons
were present. The case was not even
called and after conference between
counsel for the street railway men, and
the court it was agreed to postpone
the matter for two weeks. Bail of S.
900 for Madden and $500 for Kelly
was continued.
The presiding judge was Joseph
Tucker, president of the street railway
company. Had hearing been had he
probably would have given place to an
associate. 1t is believed that two weeks
hence another postponement will be
granted, and that the preliminares
and action by the grand jury. If the
case should come before it, will take
up so much time that actual trial will
not be reached before January.
The body of Mr.. Craig, the secret
service officer, was taken to Chicago
this afternoon. A delegation of citi-
zens appeared at the undertaker's
rooms, and later followed the casket
to the depot. Four police officers act
ed as a guard of honor. There were a
number of beautiful floral tokens. As
" the body left the undertaking rooms
the bells of the various churches were
tolled, this continuing during the pas
sage of the procession to the depot
More than fifty citizens followed the
body to the station.

WANT A SPECIAL SESSION.



Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 4.-Gov. Stone
was waited upon by committee from
the state executive board of railroad
employees of Pennsylvania this after
noon and requested to take immediate
steps to bring about settlement of
the strike in the anthracite coal region,
and, If necessary, call an extra session
of the Legislature for the enactment
of a compulsory arbitration law. The
committee said the board was prepar-
ing bill which would end the strike
and prevent strikes in the future If it
should become a law.
Gov. Stone replied that it, by calling
a special session of the Legislature, a
law could be passed that would be
constitutional and would settle this
strike and prevent others, he would not
hesitate to call a special session.
Gov. Stone also said he regarded the
strike as of sufficient public interest to
justify an extra session of the Legis-
lature If 1t would solve the difficulty,
but he would not call a special session
in the interest of speculation or for
political effect, if no satisfactory law
could be passed or good come out of it.

GRANDEUR OF PELEE.
SpIendOr of the Eruption Described
by Correspondent.

London. Sept. 4.-The correspondent
of the Daily Mail at Castries. St. Lu-
cia. has cabled the following account
of the phenomena witnessed at the
time of the recent outbreak of Mont
Pelee. Martinique:
Between 8 and o'clock in the even
ing of Aug. 80, a spectacle of terrific
grandeur was witnessed from mere. A
pitch black cloud hung over the ISL
and of Martinique, through which shot
at intervals pillars of flame, high in
the sky which broke in fantastic
forms of colored fire and scattered as
showers of fiery sparks. About night
fall clouds were darting about like
millions of monster frehies, ami above
all those large aureoles appeared in
the sky"
The correspondent then proceeds TO
confirm the details of the eruption. as
already known, and says:
There were tremendous earth
rumblings. and explosions. The ground
rocked and nothing could stand on ia
bles or shelves. Boats for st. Pierre
were unable to reach the town. owi1g
to the fall of hot ashes, and tidal
wave destroyed the whole of the sea-
front of LeCarbet.
People returned here from Martin
ique only last week to take back their
families to Fort de France"

Governors Secretary Thinks Car
was Moving That Fast.
Boston, Sept. 4.-Some new facts of
interest bearing upon the accident to
the Presidents party at Pittsfield are
given by John B. Smith, secretary to
Gov. Crane, who was in the third car
riage behind that which was wrecked,
and who saw the accident.
Mr.. Smith says that in his Judgment
the car was going about twenty miles
an hour. Smith says he talked with
Motorman Madden directly after the
accident, and the latter stated that his
car was going about eight miles an
hour, and that he did not think that
the carriage of the President was go
ing to cross at the point it did. Mr..
Smith said:
THE motorman must have thought
that the carriage would remain on the
right of the tracks for a little distance
further, and, therefore, he increased
his speed to rush by before the cross
ing, which had to be made shortly,
should be ATTEMPTED"

BAER CAUSED GLOOM.
Miners Are Depressed Because of
His Statement.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. Sept. 4.-President
Baer's declaration that the miners
strike cannot be settled except on the
terms heretofore stated by the coal
companies has caused gloom over the
entire strike region. The business To-
terests were very hopeful that the
meeting between the president OF the
Philadelphia and Reading Company
and Senator'S Quay and Penrose woull
result IN a peaceful settlement OF the
conflict, but to-day a feeling Of de b.
preston exists everywhere.
At strike headquarters President
Mitchell discussed Mr.. Baers state
ment with some OF his lieutenants. but
no declined 70 say anything for pub
