PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.-Senators Quay
and Penrose arrived here from New York
this evening and Immediately disappeared.
1t was reported, but the rumor could not
be verified, that they were in consultation
with President Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. until a late hour. Up to mid
night Senator Quay had not appeared at
the Hotel Walton, his stopping place in
this city, nor did he present himself at Re-
publican State headquarters. Not long
before the arrival of the senators President
Cassatt met President Baer. of the Reading
Company, on the latter's return from New
York. After brief consultation Mr.. Baer
went to his home.
Senator PenroSe was scheduled tonight
to attend a meeting of business men at
Pottsville. at which Secretary of the Treas

PRESIDENT GIVES 1T UP.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Close advisers
of the President who have conferred with
him over the coal situation said tonight
that in their opinion there was no further
action the administration could take on it's
own initiative TO bring the strike to an end
They say the administration is ready to do
whatever is possible, but that IL has taken
all the action that is practicable. They
scout the idea of a resort to the antitrust
law. and say that no such step is contem-
plated, as action cannot be had under that
measure against the interests involved in
the strike.
In official circles here ii is suggested that
the postponements of the conferences that
have been in progress in New York to-day
may mean that Mr.. Mitchell and the dis
trict labor presidents who were with him
are going back to Pennsylvania to sound
the miners on some proposition made dur
Ing to-day's meetings. This. IL is pointed

VIEWS OF CHARLES FOSTER.
Says Baer Will Resign and This Will


BE the Last Great Strike.
SPRINGFIELD. o., Oct. 10-Charles Fos-

Governor of Ohio. a delegate to the State
Conference Of Charities and Correction, was
interviewed to-day on the outcome of the
coal strike.
'The operators will find 1t to their inter-
miners just as has been done by the opera

operators get big prices for bituminous

of the ground at so cents ton in keeping
with their contracts. Thus. 1t costs the op-
royalty, 81 for freight and Is cents added
for the operators, makes a ton cost them
81 In the face of all this, soft coal is to-
day selling for S. a ton. The operators are
the ones who are making the money. This
is shown when it is considered that it does
not cost any more to dig coal than it did
before and the railroad rates are the same.
I'm regard to this anthracite strike, l ex-
pect to see President Baer resign. He can
not do otherwise from the stand he has
taken. Public sympathy is turning to the
miners. The operators will finally have to

in the bituminous field. During the last five
years soft coal operators have dealt directly
with the union once a year, and good has

WILKESBARRE. Pa. Oct. 1o-Disap-
pointment followed the news received from
New York this evening that the conference
held in that city for the purpose of settling
the miners strike had failed to reach an
agreement. 1t is feared in business circles
that the struggle will continue for some
weeks yet. The strike leaders will make
every effort to hold their men in line, trust
ing to cold weather to bring the operators
to terms. The local operators say nothing
but failure was to be expected from the
New York conference, as 1t was more of a
political gathering than anything else
The officers of the Third Brigade, with
headquarters in this city, made the an
nouncement to-day that the order of Gov
ernor Stone to place all persons arrested
for rioting under military guard will be
strictly enforced. A stockade is being
erected at West Side Park where the
Ninth Regiment is in camp, and prisoners
will be confined there. The military au-
thorities complain that the civil authorities
have been taken into custody since the
military arrived in the region, and that
sterner measures are necessary. The
troops camped at West Side Park suffered

were in great demand to-day and the deal

next Monday. and in case the militia can
not furnish the necessary protection for
the men who want to go to work and their
