TREASURY HOLDS MORE GOLD
Than at Any Previous Period in the
Nation History.


Washington, Sept. S.-The sum Of
gold now in the United States Treas
ury exceeds that of any previous time
in the history Of the country, and with
one possible exception, 1t exceeds that
of any country at any time in the his.
tory Of the world. The single reported
exception is that of Russia about eight
years ago. when that country was pre-
pairing to resume gold payments.
Last Saturday the vaults of the United
States Treasury contained 1878, 936, 1874.
an increase since July I, 1901, Of &c.,
OS7, S97. This stock Of gold is now
being added to at the rate of from
5000. 600 to $500, 900 per day, with no
immediate prospect Of cessation In
the rate Of deposits. This condition
Of things is eminently satisfactory to
the Treasury officials, who regard 1t
as the best possible evidence Of pros
perity and of confidence in the fnan-
cial stability Of the country. The
gold now coming in Is being replaced
BY gold certificates, United States
notes and silver certificates the former
being supplied where the denomina-
tions wanted are $50 and over. the
United States notes for ten, and silver
certificates for fives, twos and ones.

MINERS WILL RESUME WORK.
strike Settled In The Coal Fields
Along Norfolk & Western Ry.

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 &
Western Railroad here today it was al
most unanimously agreed to END the
strike provided the operators would
take back all the old miners, and they
have signiied their intention of doing
this.
The miners have agreed to return to
work next Monday morning.
1t is reported that President Nit
chell, of the United Mine Workers.
advised the miners to return to work
AS he realized that winter was near at
hand and the miners in this field could
not hold out much longer as almost
everyone was 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 & Western.

GOV. STONES PROGRAM.
To Seize and Operate Mines if Strike
is Not Settled

From the New York World. today
The World has the highest authority for
stating that If the coal trust operators do
not either recede from their present position
or succeed In opening the Pennsylvania
mines and producing coal in large quanti-
ties within the next six days, Governor
Stone will call a special session of the
Pennsylvania legislature which forthwith
will create state coal commission.
This state commission will proceed imme-
diately with the production of coal under
the right of eminent domain, until the pub
lie demand for coal as winter necessity is
adequately supplied
From the same inside source the World
has learned the full story of events leading
to yesterdays conference in Senator Platt' s
Office between the New York and Pennsyl-
vania republican machines on the one side
and the coal trust operators on the other.
The facts are here disclosed for the first
time.
When Governor Stone called out the entire
National Guard of Pennsylvania on Mon
day last 1t was the first step of a program
meant to force one side or the other to open
the mines at once.
This program was decided upon after
consultation with some of the ablest legal
minds In Pennsylvania and New York city.
The program embodied four separate and
distinct propositions, as follows:
1. To call out the entire National Guard
of the state.
2. To provide sufficient protection to en-
able all licensed miners to work freely and
unmolested in any part of the coal fields.
g. To insure the enforcement of the state
law, which provides that none but licensed
miners shall be permitted to work in mines.
4. (And most important of a4D. If under
these conditions the operators did not make
good their boast to the President that all
they needed was protection for their work.
