to be the whole thing" He contin-
ued:
The trouble first started between
the captain or sailing master, and the
ice pilot, whose name is Arnsen. The
pilot should have had and eventually
did have. complete charge of the di-
recting of the ship. The sailing mas
ter objected to the ice pilot holding
sway over the movements of
the ship. and that is how the row
began. |, of course, took the side of
the pilot and saw that he was Kept
in command.

Swede. There is the whole thing in

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct G.
1t is believed here that President
Mitchell will arrive at the White
House this afternoon or tonight. No
word has been received from him up
to o'clock, but he is expected. The
president seeing no possibility of do
ing anything with the coal barons,
has eloquently appealed to President
Mitchell urging him to call the strike
off at once. President ROOSEVELT
urges that if he will do this, that
the president will secure from con
gress some remedial legislation and to
bring pressure to bear on Governor
Stone to have Pennsylvania to do all
in her power to better the condition
OF the miners. President Roosevelt
will take the side of the miners in his
forthcoming message to congress. II
President Mitchell will show his un-
selfishness by sending the men back
to work. The president advises that
this be done in the interest of the
men themselves. The cabinet was in
formal session early this afternoon,
awaiting eagerly for some word from
President Mitchell.
