BIG COAL STRIKE
MAY Be SETTLED
Attempt Will Be Made 10 Ad-
just Differences Without
Arbitration.
PRELIMINARY BASIS ACCEPTED
The Promised Delay In Terminating the
Hearing Before the Presidents Arbitra-
tion Commission Caused the Parties to
Get Together.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 22.-The nina
workers, through their representatives.
have agreed with the mine owners to
attempt to adjust the differences ex-
listing between them outside the an
thracite coal strike commission. The
proposition was made on a comprom-
Use basis. and negotiations, 1t is ex.
pected.. will be at once entered upon,
with a reasonable hope of settlement
without the aid of the arbitrators The
rough proposition, which is to fern the
basis of negotiations, is 10 per cent
increase In wages, a nine hour day,
and trade agreements between the
miners and the company by whom they
are employed. The only one of the
four demands not touched upon Is
that of the weighing Of coal by the
legal ton.
While both sides have expressed
the willingness to settle their differ
ences among themselves, it is not to
be construed that it carries with 1t
the acceptance of the terms proposed.
They are mentioned only as basis.
1t is understood, from which a settle
ment is to be effected. 1t is possible
that the foundation already laid can
be wrecked by either party holding out
too strongly against some question
and thus leave the whole matter in
the hands of the commissioners who,
In the meantime, will act as sort Of
board Of Cancellation. rather than as
a board of arbitration.
Few persons were aware that an at.
tempt would be made at an outside
settlement until it was practically so
tntimated by Judge Gray, the chair
man of the commission, who read q
carefully prepared announcement from
the bench. The move, one of the
most important In the Whole history
of the coal strike, created mild sen.
sation when 1t became known. The
surprise was all the greater when 1t
will be remembered that numerous
persons, from the president Of the
United States down, and many organi.
cations from the National Civic Fed.
Grafton to the small boards of trade Of
the mining towns failed to bring tho
two parties together. II is said 1t was
all brought about by both sides seeing
that the proceedings before the com.
mission would De interminable.
1t cannot be officially stated which
party made, the proposition first. The
attorneys for both sides are ssCrse to,
talking, but those who were inclined
to say something differ in their state.

railroads said it came from the min.

LEoPoLo's STRIKING REPLY.

Plans.

Brussels, Nov. 21.-King Leopold
made somewhat striking reply yes.
terday to a deputation from the cham.
Der, which presented his majesty with
an address of congratulation on his
escape Saturday from the anarchists
bullet. After thanking the deputation
the king continued:
The times are very troubled. Agi.
tators are constantly stirring up their
fellows to disturb that order which is
the guarantee OF public liberties. With
out order only license remains, which
leads inevitably to despotism. These
agitators find in their path, firstly, the
heads OF states. If they fail to reach
them. they attack their wives, as in the
case of the horrible drama at Geneva.
Their blows are also aimed at minist
ers, as In the case of Senior Canovas,
and they also blow up the houses of
private Individuals. They want to
intimidate us, but they will not sue
coed. Even II they struck down the
head of the state II would soon be re.
placed. In addition to revolver shots,
they apply the pen which can write

IOWA LEADS RURAL ROUTES.
Nineteen Counties Are Completed.
Covered by Carriers.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The report
Of the first assistant postmaster gen,
eral Gor the year ending October 80
shows that Iowa has more rural mail
delivery routes than any state in the
union.
This state is credited with 1902 es
tablished routes. Illinois is next With
93S and Ohio third with SS5. Indiana
has SIT and .dichigan 637. No other
state has to exceed 500 routes.
The report states that on November
ten additional routes which had been
approved would be added to the ser
vice. making a total of 1,102 now &C.
tually established. In all 1857 appli.
cations for routes have been filed from
this state. OF the S55 applications
pending the report shows ID have
been reported on favorably by inspec-
tors. which means this number will
soon be added to the routes being
served, ITO have been reported unfav,
orable and ass petitions are pending.
In Iowa 71.06 per cent Of the applica-
tions have been considered.
The table shows that in Iowa the
work has been more Systematically
carried out than In any other state In
the union, that II has been the policy
70 consider the state by counties with
the view Of completing the service for
whole counties at time and that nine
teen counties in Iowa are now fully
supplied. while applications pending
when acted on will complete the ser.
vice in majority Of the counties in
the state.
The increase in the number OF
routes established In the state has
been over 80 per cent in the past
year.
No other state makes as favorable a
showing in number Of routes applied
for and reported favorably by inspec.
tors as Iowa, but in two other states
the total number Of APPLICATIONS filed
exceeds the total in Iowa. Illinois has
filed 2.007 petitions and Ohio 1853.
Nevada is the only state that has NO
rural routes.

GASES AGAINST WESTERN UNION
Another Case In Which c. S. Barnes
Figured.

Fort Dodge, Nov. 22.-Following
close upon the case of Schriver Bros.
VS.. the Western Union, which was
tried in tie federal court in this city
Monday of this week. and in which
the jury allowed the plaintiffs $S,S72.
or the full amount sued for, comes an
other suit for damages, in which the
parties in the above suit play almost
identical parts. The suit, which is
fled in the office Of xhe clerk of courts
and which is the first case set for
trial next term, is entitled the Bank
of Hayelock, Farmer, Thompson and
Helsell, VS.. the Western Union Tele.
graph company. The amount invoiv-
ed in the suit is S3,500.50.
The similarity between the case
settled In favor of Schriver Bros. and
that to be tried next term is that
Schriver Bros. of Britt sold cattle to
E. D. barnes and that the latter. as
in the former case, presented check
which was refused. Also as in the
other case Barnes went to Denison
and worked his telegraph scheme so
as to secure the money from the bank.
The facts as presented in the papers
filed here are as follows: On the Goth
OF February, 1902, sold at auction for
S3,500.50 a number of head of cattle
on which the Bank of Havelock held
a chattel mortgage. E. S. Barnes was
the purchaser. and in payment he pre-.
sented check for the amount of the
sale. The check was refused, where.
upon Barnes agreed TO go to Denison.
where he would have the Bank of
Denison honor the check, and tele.
graph the same to the Bank of Have.
lock. Barnes went to Denison, and.
representing himself to be the Bank
Of Denison, telephoned to the opera,
tor at the Western Union Office that
I'VE (meaning the Bank of Denison)
will honor Barnes check for $780,"
The telegram was sent to the Bank of
Hayelock, and, according to the plain.
tiff, the operator made no endeavor to
discover whether or not the bank die
tated the telegram.
The check was presented, but when
it was presented at the Bank of Den.
ison payment was refused. The Bank
Of Havelock charges the operator at
the Western Union Office with being
negligent and sues that company for
the recovery Of the money.
Although papers nave not yet been
filed. another bank will bring suit
against the Western Union on almost
the same charge. This time the
amount involved is $500.

Professor Wiley in speaking Of the
