SIXTH WEEK OF STRIKE.
ntent Tonight in Answer TO Let
ters of Operators.

President Mitchell TO Issue state
n,ent Tonight in Answer 40 Let
ters of Operators.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 21.-The an
thracite mine workers strike rounded
out its sixth week to-day without in
cident The strike of 1900, when the
men won a 10 per cent. increase, lasted
exactly six weeks. In that struggle
the lives of several persons were sac
rificed but in this strike the worst that
has happened was the shooting of a
boy two weeks ago, who is now slowly
recovering.
President Mitchell held a conference
with District Presidents Nichols,
Duffy and Fahy this afternoon. Dis
trict matters were discussed. Among
the business considered was the
public statement which Mr.. Mitch
ell will issue tomorrow night
for publication in Monday morning
newspapers. 1t is understood to be a
reply to the operators letters pub
lished ten days ago. 1t will be COM
plete review of the miners side of
the controversy. The statement will
probably show the alleged relation
ship between the hard coal carrying
railroads and the large companies and
will try to show that while coal has
been advanced the rate of wages paid
to the miners has not kept pace with
the increase.
Nothing developed at strike head
quarters to-day bearing on the ques-
ton involving the men in the anthra-
cite strike.

JUDGE ANDREWS DECISION

Said Proceedings Connected With
the Arrest Deserved sensure.
Quebec, June q. Judge Andrews to-
day discharged the motion for con-
tempt against Detective Carpenter, and
has remanded Messrs. Gaynor and
Greene to Montreal in charge OF the
jailor of that city. In rendering judg-
ment in Carpenters case Judge An
drews said that tbssproceedings con-
nected with the arrest of the accused
deserved certain censure.
Judge Andrews then stated that ne
had received a declaration from the
attorneys of Gaynor and Greene where
by they withdrew their declarations and
informed counsel that he was ready 10
hear them. Mr.. McMaster, for the pros
ecution, moved that judgment be rem
dered on the motions made by the
prosecution to set aside the writs OF
habeas corpus. Mr.. Taschereau, coun-
sci for the prisoners, objected to the
motions.
Judge Andrews said that since recelV,
ing the notices last evening he nae
given the latter his greatest attention
and as the case was in his hands NJ
would now render judgment on tn'
motions to quash the habeas corpus
writs.
The judgment was a very elaborate
one and concluding by rejecting IN

London. June 21.-If ]. P. Morgan
had not been Unexpectedly absent In
the Mediterranean, this week would
have been marked by important devel-
opments in the final stages of the At
lantic shipping combination. All the
heads of the companies, including Ber-
nard N. Baker. president of the At
lantic Transport Line, who is now here,
were ordered to meet Mr. Morgan in
London Friday but he was unable to
come. and so the proposed meeting was
postponed.
The Associated Press is informed
that everything is progressing satisfac-
tcrily. and that it is likely that sweep
ing changes and economies in work.
ing expenses will soon be put in oper-
alton. On this subject Mr.. Baker said:
1--WE are contemplate various steps
which will be greatly to the public's
convenience and economy. Before long
the benefits of the combination will
become patent to every individual
crossing the Atlantic.
LAS to the rival all-British COM
binations, 1 can only say that we
welcome it. The Atlantic is big
enough for us all If they think they
can do better by combining they would
be foolish if they did not. II they
intend to depend on increased govern
ment subsidies rather thaO on di-
munition expenses and improvement OF
service, l think they are mistaken.
WtII Not BE AII-Americnn.
"One of the motives attributed by a
section of the English press as con-
shutting the necessity for an all-Brit-
ish trust, namely. the likelihood of the
/. Morgan organization putting all its
vessels under the American flag, is
perfectly absurd. We would not do
it II we could, and we cannot"
From other sources the Associated
Press learns that the offers made by
Sir Christopher Furness and Sir Al
fred l.. Jones, head of the firm of FL
der, Dempster & Co., to the Cunard,
Royal Mail and other lines. and which
have been considered by them, entire
ly depend on what subsidies the pro-
moters of the British combination can
secure from Sir Wilfrid Laurier the
premier of Canada; Edmund Barton,
the Australian prime minister, and the
imperial government the basis of the
suggested new amalgamation consisting
largely in increased subsidies from the
British and Canadian governments and
the new arrangements with Australia.
Unless these are granted the lines
approached will not agree to amalga-
mate. Impartial opinion inclines
to the belief that the demand for
increased subsidies will not be acceded

House VIII Probably Come to SEN
ate's Terms and Accept spOOner
Amendment.
Washington, June Ex-senator Nor
gan and Representative Hepburn. rep
resenting the Senate and House con-
ferees on the isthmian canal bill, were
together to-day to arrange the prelimi-
naries for the meeting of the conferees.
The first formal meeting of the 18TH
milan canal conferees will be at 2
o'clock on Monday To-days meeting
was devoted to a study of the Panama
amendment from the Senate with
view to getting a thorough under
standing of all its bearings. 1t was
stated afterward that no conclusions
beyond the fact that a meeting of the
conferees should be held Monday had
been reached.
Meantime the friends of the respective
projects were active in making plans.
Although no formal meeting of the
House conferees were held, informal
exchanges showed their general att
tude. They are first for a canal. and
while favorable to the Nicaragua route,
they will not insist upon that route to
the extent of defeating all legislation.
AS soon as 1t becomes evident that the
Senate will not yield, the Spooner
amendment will be accepted as the best
solution possible. There is no doubt
this is the position of two out of
the three House conferees, and 1t is
understood to be shared by all of them.
This insures an agreement In confer
ence without much delay, even If the
House does not relieve the conferees
of their responsibilities by adopting a
motion to concur with the Senate,
which there is good reason to believe,
Mr.. Burton of Ohio is ready to make.

PAY DAY AT THE MINES.
Operators Fear That Many Who
Have Been working Will OMIT.

Have Been Working Will Omit
Roanoke, Va, June 21.-To-day is
the first general pay day of the miners
in the Pocahontas coal fields since the
strike began. and there is some con-
lecture as to the effect it will have
upon the situation. According to adj
vices received by the Norfolk and
Western Railroad no more men quit
work yesterday. and the output of coal
was greater than on any previous day.
A large falling off in the number of
cars loaded is looked for to-day by The
mine owners, and this loss may not be
made UP for several days. Pay day
always has a demoralizing effect on
the miners. 1t is expected that many
of the men who have remained at work
will now be induced by the strike aGi-
tators to go out. On the other hand
many of the strikers are without funds.
and is thought may go back 10 the
operators next week. No acts of vio-
lence have been reported, and II is
thought that the sheriffs of the differ
ent counties with the aid of their Gepu-
ties and the railroad and mine guards
will be able to control the situation
without the assistance of the militia.
The Roanoke companies are still on
waiting orders. It is said that other
military companies are also under wait
ing orders.

London, June PA bitter surprise

approaching conference with the colo
NAL premiers, who are now in London
for the purpose of attending the coro-
nation OF King Edward For months
the government has been urging Par
lament not to express any kind of
opinion upon the feasibility Of prefer
entail trade with the colonies and
when introducing measures tending to
such an end 1t has warned off discus
sion on the ground that ii would not
be fair to do or say anything until the
colonial premiers had a chance to an
nounce their views on the subject. I'm
fortunately for the government the
premiers had already practically come
to a decision that they would refuse
to make any suggestions until the inn
perial government puts forward it's
own intentions. That is exactly what
the cabinet not only does not want to
do, but cannot do. Hence a perfectly
tame and futile ending may be safely
prophesied for the much advertised
conference with the colonial prenters.

sci for the United States government,

Mr.. Taschereau appeared on the scene
with two writs of habeas corpus issued
by Judge Caron this evening ordering
Tailor Vallee to hand the prisoners to
Sheriff Langelier. The latter imme-

the order of Judge Caron both were
remanded to Jail for eight days.
1t is expected that the prosecution
will again take proceedings on Mon

to-day Judge Andrews remarked thai
he considered it his duty to say that,
sitting az judge, he did not recognize,
but distinctly denied, the right Of any
other Judge to interfere in the matter
until the men had passed from his
hands, and that until then no other
judge had$the power to interfere with
the prisoners. This is the reason that
the accused applied to another judge
this evening".

PREFERRED DEATH TO ARREST
Iowa Man Kills Marshal of Town
and Is Shot Down in His own
House After Desperate Siege.


Jefferson, IA, June 2i.-One of the
worst shooting affairs ever witnessed
in this part of Iowa took place early
to-day, resulting from ar att; rupt to
arrest Horace Shipman on a peace war
rant.
For some breach of the peace last
evening a warrant was sworn out for
Shipman and placed in the hands Of
Marshal John Swnaringden for aervice
DR.. G. H. Grimmell, Shipman's fam
lily physician, went ahead of the mar
shall and attempted to have Shipman
surrender peaceably. Shipman agreed
to the proposition, but when Swearing
den and Deputy Sheriff Fred Kendall
appeared at the door he warned them
to come in under penalty of death.
Swearingden, undaunted, started to
pull his revolver for the purpose of
entering. and Shipman fired a load of
shot, striking the marshal in the low
er part of the face and killing him
instantly DR.. Grimmell and the dep
uty beat a retreat, leaving the body
of the marshal upon the porch.
Sheriff Anderson Immediately went
to the scene of the shooting, deputizing
a dozen citizens to assist him,
Hundreds Of people gathered near
Shipman's home and for three hours
watched the battle. Five hundred shots
were poured into the large two-story
house, Shipman replying from win
dows. cellar way and door. The fire
company was called out and James
May volunteered to put a hose in the
cellar and drown Shipman out. May
accomplished his work, but Shipman
fired upon him from the cellar, caus-
ing him to retreat,
About II o'clock Shipman appeared
at a window and fifty shots were
fired at him. 1t then became quiet
inside and Shipman's body was found
on the floor, full of bullets.
Only high wind from a direction
that would have carried the flames to
