mining Of coal. coai will lie mined by
power which they cannot control.
we will mine coal. and moreover,
we will see to its distribution" the
president is quoted as saying.
Congress May Be Called.
The presidents future course is q
carefully guarded secret 1t is sug-
gested that he may call congress in
extraordinary session to pass a law
which will enable the executive branch
OF the government to seize and operate
the mines. 1t is suggested also that
he has an understanding with the
pennsylvania authorities by the terms
OF which Governor Stone will request
the federal government to send troops
into the mining regions and assume
control of the mines
Martial law could then be declared
and once in operation the president
would be supreme. He could mine
coal He could, if necessary, seize the
coal roads and compel them to carry
the *'=,',;ct of the mines.
q |f'CsiS OF tie conference
In sum and substance this is what
happened at the conference:
]. President Roosevelt read to the
conferrees his appeal for peace in be-
half of the public.
2 President Mitchell on behalf ofth
miners responded with a proposal that
the men would go back to work at once
and leave the question of new wages
to President Roosevelt and a commits
sion to be appointed by him, asking
only that the representatives Of the
mining corporations also bind them
serves to accept the verdict.
). This was scornfully rejected by
all the corporation managers, each of
whom declared that he would have
nothing to do with any proposition
emanating from John Mitchell or the
miners union.
No Dealings with Union.
4. The only semblance of a PROPOSE
ton made by the railway presidents
was that the miners first return to
work and then as individuals, not as
an organization, present their griev-
ances to the mine Bosses If the mine
bosses could not adjust them the COM
panies would agree to have them re-
fereed by the judges of the common
pleas court. But in no case was there
to be any business dealings with the
union.
5. Then the railway presidents made
violent personal attack upon Presi-
dent Mitchell and the Mine Workers
union, charging them with completely
in disorder and murder in the coal re-
gion.
6. The railway presidents also turned
ON President Roosevelt and demanded
of him that he send federal troops to
the anthracite field, COUGHING their de-
mand in language which President
Roosevelt himself resented as imperti-
nent and offensive

Washington, Oct: G.-In an earnest
effort to expedite the adjustment Of
the coal strike problem another con-
ference over the situation was held
at the White House yesterday and adj
journed after three hours of delibera
ton. No statement was given out as
to the conclusions reached, and ev-
cry participant absolutely refused to

President Roosevelt by John Mitchell
Of the miners union, and President
Baer of the Reading Railway COM
pany:
John Mitchell, president of the
United Mine Workers. to President

own selection and agree to accept your
award upon all or any of the questions
involved

trust, to President Roosevelt duty
of the hour is not to waste time nego-
tiating with the fomenters of this an
archy and inSOlent defiance of law, but
to dO as was done in the war of the

Markle Flaunts a Cartoon.

Markle Flaunts a Cartoon.
John Markle, the richest individual
mine operator in Pennsylvania. at one
stage of the conference pulled from his
pocket copy of an illustrated paper
containing cartoon in colors repre-
senting union miners numbering nom
union men with Justice standing in
the background in an attitude of help
lessness, her eyes bandaged and her
sword trailing the ground. Markle
f1Ourished this before the presidents
eyes and said it was an accurate pict-
ure of conditions in tho PENNSYLVANIA
anthracite fields
The operators acted throughout as
if they felt offended and insulted be-
cause President Mitchell and three 9th
er officers of the Mine Workers union
were present at the conference. They
seemed to feel that if the president of
the United States had anything to say
to them about the coal strike he should
have arranged to say it without the
presence of the labor leaders.
RooseveIt's Temper Aroused.
President Baer charged, in a petu-
liant manner. after President Mitchell
had expressed willingness to sub
NIT to arbitration that the coal oper-
ators We're led into trap. This was
the first utterance that aroused the
presidents temper. His face flushed a
deep crimson and shaking his fist at
Baer he holly resented the insinua-
ton that he had been party to de-
ception of any sort. He said that he
did not know of Mr.. Mitchelrs purpose
to offer to submit to arbitration. The
operators have appeared boldly before
the court of public opinion and have
defed the president, his cabinet and
the people.
1t is the presidents next move He
has said repeatedly within the past
twenty-four hours that if the opera
tors and miners do not get together,
settle their differences and resume

Conference a Failure.

President Roosevelt's effort to con-
ciliate the anthracite coal operators
and mine workers through a confer
ence at the White House proved
failure. John Mitchell, national presi-
dent of the miners union, was concil-
iatory and showed sincere desire to
settle the strike through the presi-
dents mediation.
The coal operators were ill-tempered
and defiant. They openly criticised
the president and asserted that he
could settle the strike at once by order
ing federal troops to protect non-un-
ion miners. Besides indulging in vi
cious TRADE against the mine work
ers' union, which they characterized as
lawless combination, they charged by
insinuation and even openly that the
president was not performing his duty.
George F. Baer, president of the Phil
adelphia and Reading railroad, with
brutal candor. charged the president
with playing politics.

HOLLENBERG SHOWS UP.


 New York. Aug. 25. III. Walker Hollenberg, of Little Rock, Arkansas, is alive, though very i'll, at his home in New Rochelle, N. J., having arrived there early this morning. His ex- perience is a thrilling one, and it is hardly possible to believe he could survive.
 Hollenberg disappeared from Coney Island two weeks ago, and was sup posed to have been drowned. Upon his arrival at his home in New Ro cheIle today he said he was landed there early this morning by fishing smack, by which he had been picked up at sea.
 Only members of the family and a physician were allowed to see him. The doctor said Hollenberg was in no condition to see strangers at present.
 Hollenberg's story is that he was carried out to sea by the undertow while in swimming. His cries for nSlp dUUIdcU6u HO dUu0HUAOH run UuC beach, and he had been carried out a long distance when he managed to get hold of piece of wreckage that drifted toward him, and by means of this, supported himself until rescued by the fishing smack. He was dressed in an old suit of clothes, which he said had been given him by the cap tain of the vessel.

INSURANCE COMPANY
 MAKES A ASSIGNMENT.

The Arkansas Live Stock Insur- ance Company was placed in the hands of E. B. Jett as receiver Tues- day upon the application of Dearing & Tucker of Fl Dorado. The appli- cation was made in Pulaski chancery court by Lewis Rhoton and w. M Lewis, and in the absence of Chancel- Tor T. B. Martin the order appointing the receiver was made by Judge R. J. Lea of the Pulaski circuit court. Mur- phy & Mehaffey, attorneys for the company confessed it's insol- vency The present liabilities of the company amount to about $2O, 900, and the assets somewhat less.
 The Arkansas Live Stock Insurance Company was represented in this section of the state by c. L. Hatfield, who made his headquarters at New port for several months.
 The failure of the concern at this time is due to the fact that the policy holders who are largely planters and farmers, failed to pay their install ments falling due in July and August, and the mortality of the animals in- sured was abnormally great during the hot months of June, July and Au- gust. A large bulk of the business was written in the southern and southeastern parts of the state, where the conditions were very unfavorable during the summer months. Another cause of the failure is now shown to be that the company's rate is too low They have been insuring stock, chiefly cattle, horses and mules, for two years at six per cent, whereas the rate shonld be at least nine per cent in order to insure the company against loss and for the protection of the policy holders. The company was organized in November 1901. and has paid up to date claims amounting to about $8, ,oO0, every claim due prior to August 1, 1902, having been paid in full.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
NEw suRvaY ro NRwPoRr.

West Plains, Mo, August 26. A corps of Rock Island engineers, under Captain A. |. Clark, who are running a line from Belle, Mo, south, are now camped at Sterling, twenty six miles northwest of here. Captain Clark visited West Plains Sunday to exam inc the route to this city. From here the proposed line will be toward New port. Another line will be run from here to Harrison and Fort Smith. The engineers are finding great difficulty in selecting feasible route.
 This corps of surveyors represent the Rock Island system and will meet the party under s. M. Ramsdell, who began working north from Jackson port August r, prospecting for a route to the state line, through In dependence, Sharp and Fulton coun- ties.

Ernest Mcdonald, Tom billiard, David Hare, Otto Russell, Cleve Rob- inson, Gus Remmel, Ed Davenport, Eugene Hirsch, Homer Buford and Peter Bach left on the local Wednes- day morning for Tuckerman, where they had an engagement to play a double header.
 The INDEPENDENT learned through the courtesy of Tom Dillard that our boys captured the first game by the easy score of 9 to 6, the time required for the game being one hour and fifty five minutes. We hope they may succeed in bagging the second game and with the encouragement of two victories and the support of home rooters, the Tuckerman team will hardly make showing in Thursdays game here.

CAMPBELL BROTHERS sHO
Campbell Brothers Gave Nice Street
 Parade And Clean Performance.

Daily Forum, Fargo, N. D: At about 10:30 a. m, amid the music from several excellent bands and the cheers ot thousands of people along Broadway the elegant circus parade of the Campbell Bros. show in tri
 umph passed up Fargo's main thoroughfare. It was magnificent
 parade. There were the rich and costly equipages, beautiful beyond description, the handsome uniforms, the magnificent array of blooded
 horses, the great elephant and other
 smaller ones, one bumped and two-
 bumped camels, large number of cages of animals, some of them open
 and displaying the wild beasts of the forests and plains, ofsthe tropics and
 of the mountains of the north. Sit
 ting in the cages with ferocious look ing beasts were the trainers calm but watchful There was the enormous behemoth, 8 monster in size and horrible in appearance, with it's enor- IuOuS uOuUu OP6uluS SNCA dlid nAAoiAt closing upon the bits of food thrown into the cavern by the trainer. Last but not least there was the noisy
 steam calliope, which always attracts great deal of attention and is bound to be conspicuous. The Campbell Bros. has fine one. There was the free exhibition before the doors of the main tent on North Broadway. The attendance was fiattering despite the rain and the threatening elements. Thousands thronged the large tents. There were words of praise for the remarkable menagerie, the large va ri ty of splendid animals and the
 special attractions were all that could
 be desired. The acting was of high
 order and gave entire satisfaction to
 the great audience that filled the tent.
 Hair raising feats brought out the
 applause of the spectators again and again and the clowns with their funny
 diversions were feature that captured all. The Campbell Bros.
 made a great hit and will no doubt have full tent this evening At Newport, August 29.

SECOND PosToFFICE ROBBED

Philadelphia, Ark, Aug. 25. The safe in the postoffice at Okolona, twenty seven miles west of here, was blown open yesterday morning at 2:3O o'clock. About $100 was se- cured, and stamps were scattered all over the house, but none were taken.
 Entrance was effected through a window. It is supposed to have been done by green hands in the business, as the blowing open of the safe plain ly demonstrated.
 The people there were much wrought up over the matter, as this is the first safe that has been blown open in that town.
 The sheriff of this (Clark) county thinks he has very good clew, and went immediately to the place with hounds.

MEET TO MARRY
 BUT THAT WAS ALL.

These agencies which have been es- tablished to promote and expedite trips to Hymen's altar in this hurry up and unconventional age by means of correspondence bureaus, which furnish names for those who have matrimonial desires, seems to have caught an unusually large haul of suckers from north Arkansas of late, and the reporter for this paper in his daily meanderings, tumbled onto the parties in such romance Wednesday morning
 Not romance exactly, but Sit might have beenu as sentimentalists say, who think fate has acted strangely, for the plans had been very deliber- ately matured, which in the end went astray. It was by appointment, that a maiden fair under the name of Miss Mary Shearin from far off Indianapolis yentured the long trip to Newport to find gallant chivalrous Southron, after the usual courtship of cores pondence.
 The man appeared in the person of H. F. Mosher of Melbourne, but somehow there was hitch in the program somewhere and they met to part to meet no more. Both were nice enough looking to have suited each other, incompatibility of temper cannot be alleged and we are at loss as to what to attribute their mutual disappointment But anyhow the engagement was declared off and the spoiled romance ended in their de- parture for their respective homes.

The marvels of wireless telegraphy
are great enough to render a recent
use of the system not sufficiently won
derful to be extraordinary, perhaps,
yet the incident reported by Chambers
Journal is one which appeals to the
Imagination.
Two Cunard liners, the Lucania and
the Campania, We're crossing the At
lantic in opposite directions. Each
knowing the date of the others sail
ing, could make calculation as to
the hour when they would most likely
meet. When the hour came, the YES
sells were too far apart to sight each
other Presently, however, the warn
ing bell of the wireless Geographic ap-
paratus in the Campania tinkled. and
the message was spelled out: Are
you there?-Lucania. And then the
two vessels, still invisible to each 9th
er, and, as it was found. thirty-six
miles apart, talked for some hours. ex-
changing experiences as to the wealth
er and finally parting with the word
'goodb by" when they were a hundred
and forty miles asunder.
Such a conversation carried on be-
tween vessels in the open ocean. sep
arated by such a vast stretch of wa
ter. and out of sight of each other, is
an impressive illustration of what
wireless telegraphy means.
