said he had invited his Republican Old.
ponent to meet him IN joint discussion.
but that opponent had declined. even
at his opponents home, where he had
recently spoken.
Mr.. James speech was chiefly devot-
ed TO a discussion Of the tariff, the mo-
nopolles OF trusts. the Fowler Banking
Bill, the Ship Subsidy, and incidentally
the Philippine and Cuban relations.
He did not discuss free silver at all,
apparently considering that as not a
live issue. His only reference to it was
that the Republicans had accused the
Democrats OF wanting to pay their
debts in 90 cent dollars, whereas when
they came into absolute power they i'm
mediately passed bankrupt law au-
thorizing parties to pay their debts
without one cent to the dollar.
His speech throughout was far more

THE GREAT STRIKE ENDED.
Capital and Labor Biggest Battle
Ever Known in the United
States

The great anthracite coal strike
which has been on since last May is
practically ended. The opposing
forces, the mine operators on the one
side and the nine workers on the other
were brought TO a consideration of
terms and conditions of settlement
through an invitation of President
Roosevelt for the leaders TO meet him
in Washington for consultation. They
did meet. Mr.. Mitchell, the head OF
the Miners Union, proposed to submit
all the questions at fssue 10 a pJsrru OF
commissioners TO be named by Pres
ident Roosevelt This the mine opera
tors refused, but demanded of the
President to protect them in the owner
ship and control Of their properties by
use OF the army or such force as was ne
cessary. For time it seemed that the
effort for a settlement was failure.
The mine operators. however. under
the leadership of Mr. Morgan, after
wards agreed to submit to a commission
to be appointed by the President. they
describing the qualifications of the
membership of SAID commission, but
refusing to recognize in any way the
Miners Union. The President named
the Commission, and the mine wofzers,
true to their promise. called off the
strike, and submitted all questions to
this arbitrament.
The Commission meets in Washing
ton. and will probably be in session the
whole Of next week before settlement
is agreed upon and promulgated.
All such settlements are generally
compromises, but in any event it will
settle this great strike for the present.

Union Veteran Legion, last night, resolu-
tons on the death of Lieut.. Charles H.
Waltermeyer were adopted The encamp-
ment feels a sense of great loss and pays a
tribute to the deceased, as follows:
"One of the earliest charter members he
continued constant and loyal and death
found him at his post. In his disposition
he was genial and CHEEKY. His heart was
pure, and his nature gentle In the pcr-
Torrance of his duties, soldier and citi-
zen, he was punctiious to the last degree
afIording an example worthy of emulation
by all of us. A good husband and father,
a kind and true friend, a brave soldier and
an honest man, his loss is keenly felt by
every one of us who knew him.
Our sympathy is extended to his be-
reaved wife and daughter
A copy of the resolutions will be present
ed to his family and the resolutions them
selves will be spread upon the minutes of
the encampment.
