OPERATORS STILL FIRM.
Say Strike Will Not End Until Men
Go To Work.
WILL BE NO ARBITRATION.

New York, Sept 12--John MarlSle,
the largest of the individual coal
operators in the anthracite field, said:
'There will be no arbitration and
no settlement of the coal strike in any
way"
President Fowler of the New York,
Ontario and Western Railway said:
''The strike will end when the men
come back of their own accord and on
the terms which they worked before
the outbreak of the strike. In no other
manner can this strike be ended"
President ELEPHANT of the Delaware
and Hudson said no outside influences
would be needed and the strike would
continue until the miners grow tired
of it and return to work.
Harrisburg, Pa.-Colonel VIM. Il.
Richardson, keeper of the state ar
senal, who was sent by Governor Stone
with a message for President Mitchell,
would not talk to reporters, saying
that his mission was such that he
could not disclose anything.
Governor Stone was even more reti-
cent and would not talk about his
efforts to end the strike.
A committee from the state legisla-
tive board of railroad employees of
Pennsylvania went to Wilkesbarre to
meet President Mitchell and the dis
trict presidents of the United Mine
Workers for the purpose Of discussing
certain arbitration legislation to be
considered by the general assembly if
Governor Stone shall call an extra
session.

Southampton for New York are await
ed with keen interest in shipping

furnaces installed on board of her as
an experiment. She has a sufficient
number of the old type furnaces SO as

Gil Furnaces prove failure.

ENSIGN MORGAN AGAIN.
Demands Court Martials-sampson Pre-
vented His Promotion.


Williamsport, Penn, Sept 13.-En-
sign Morgan, of the Minnesota, who
became known throughout the United
States by reason of an act of bravery
before Santiago, while he was chief
gunner of the New York during the
Spanish-American war, and, who was
recommended to promotion to ensign,
which resulted in letter from the late
Admiral Sampson in which he stated
that only college graduates were fit
subjects for promotion to naval offices,
again promises to stir up trouble in
the United States navy department.
During the past week Ensign Nor
gan has made three trips to this city
for the purpose of debating to 4 ste-
nographer letter of 1000 words.
Morgan said it would be mailed to the
secretary of the navy at once.
Morgan says that a superior officer
had charged him with having been
drunk. The ensign says he does not
touch intoxicants. He wants vindica-
ton, and several court martials, it is
said, will occur before he can gain his
point.
Just what other charges he has pre-
ferred will not be given out until the
navy department secs fit to give his
statement publication.

QUARTERS FOR REUNION.
A Portion of the Veterans Must Oc-
cupy Tents.
ENORMOUS RENTS DEMANDED.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 15.-Despite
the reluctance of the citizens executive
committee and of the national officers
of the grand army, it is probable that
at least a portion of the veterans at the
coming encalnpment will have to be
contontcd under canvass.
Applications have been received for
accommodation for $500 men in free
quarters. OF this number about 800
can be accommodated in the govern
ment printing Office, but only three
floors will be completed in time instead
of seven floors, as had originally been
contemplated. The three outside build
ings will provide quarters for 2,4OO
more, making the total quarters al
ready arranged for 5,7Oo. This leaves
., 500 yet to be accommodated.
Quartermaster General Burrows OF
the G. A. r. has carefully inspected
every vacant building in the city that
could be made use of. He finds not
only that the rents asked, in most in
stances, are prohibitive, being several
times the normal rent for month,
but that the sanitary arrangements are
such that the health department would
not permit large number of men to
be quartered in the buildings.
General Burrows called at the war
department to consult with the quar-
termaster's department regarding the
furnishing of army tents to accommo-
date the remaining $500 veterans.
These tents will be made use of only as
last resort, but in view of the pres
ent situation there seems to be no other
way out of the difficulty.
The national executive committee
of the G. A. R. was given $4,000 for
the care of all persons to whom it was
to give such quarters. A large portion
of that sum must be spent on equip
ment, such as cots and water coolers.
The remainder must be eXpendedion
few large halls to the greatest pos
sible advantage.

SPINDLE TOP WELLS ON FIRE.
Thousands Of Barrels Of Burning
Oil Explode Tanks.
ARE 4lO PRODUCING WELLS.

Beaumont, Tex, Sept. 13.-Thc oil
field is on fire, and judging by the
great volume of smoke which is flowing
in from Spindle Top, there is grave
fear that great loss will be sustained,
if the field is not entirely destroyed.
The fire started early in the evening
in some waste oil along the Texas and
Sabine trAciIt, and burned about sixty
feet of trestle. This was cotton under
control, and it was believed that all
danger had passed, but in the mean
while the fire had been communicated
to the field, and a number of huge
settling tanks, containing thousands
of barrels of petroleum had already
exploded, and others are reported as
being in the direct line of the fire,
which has spread over wide area.
The ground is saturated with oil and
there is no chance of stopping the
progress of the the flames. The fire is
spreading rapidly and it is believed
that the whole field will soon be
ignited.
A telephone message from Gladys,
which is the station Mt the out-held,
SAYS the whole of the Keith Ward
tract, embracing several acres and
containing large number of wells,
have been burned over, and it is be-
lieved that some of the wells have
caught. though this is not as yet posi-
lively determined.
The big tanks belonging to the Hig-
gins company were burned. Runners
were sent out in every direction for
the men who own them or represent
the companies.
The streets are filed with people,
and thousands of them are now on the
way to the field in every sort of vehicle
and afoot.
There are 41O producing wells in the
field, some OF which are buried under
earth as a safeguard against fire.

BEAUMONT FIRE CONTROLLED.
Fire In the OIL Field Gradually Burn
Ing Out.


Beaumont, Tex, Sept. 1.-THE fire
in the oil field is gradually burning
itself out. On the second morning only
four wells and two tanks were burn
ing. One of the wells is gusher, and
there is trouble in cXtinguishing It,
The smaller well can be handled cas-
lily, as the fire is fed principally by gas.
The oil was drawn from the tanks as
rapidly as possible. Even if the wind
should change the danger of further
loss is small, as all of the exposed oil
has been burned.
A large force of worlmen is on the
ground and a spread of the fire can be
checked in it's incipiency. The loss
caused by the fire is variously estlma-
ted. The lowest figures by those com
petent to judge place the total loss at
about So, 900. From this it ranges up
to S95O,O So far as can be ascer-
tanned, about thirty derricks were
destroyed. Fifteen tanks, some OF
them filled with oil, were burned out,
and they will have to be repaired be-
fore they are again serviceable. Sew
eral pumping plants were put out OF
service and are rendered useless, and
in this the heaviest loss lies, outside OF
the oil destroyed.

Salary of State superintendent.

Topeka, Sept. 13.-John A. MacDon-
aid, editor of the Western School
Journal, has started a movement to
have the Legislature, increase the salary
of the state superintendent of schools.
He says: 1.-THE teachers of Kansas
should ask the legislature to increase
the salary of the state superintendent
of public instruction from $4,000 to
S., 500. At the session of 1901 the sal
aries of the secretary of the board of
agriculture and of the superintendent
of insurance were advanced. 1t is an
indignity to the profession and tC the
schools that the state superintendent
of schools should be paid lower sal
airy than any other elective state OIL
