OPERATORS AGREE TO
ARBITRATION COMMISSION

Washington, Oct. IA. - The mine
operators have agreed to the appoint
ment ola commission, to be named by
the president of the United States, to
which shall be referred all questions at
issue between. the companies and their
own employees, whether they belong. to
a union or not, and the decision of the
commission shall be accepted by the
operators. The commission is to con-
sist of:
An army or navy engineer officer.
An expert mining engineer, not con-
nected with the coal mining properties.
One of the judges of the United
States courts of the Eestern district OF
Pennsylvania.
A man of prominence, eminent as a
sociologist, and man who, by active
participation in mining and selling
coal, is familiar with the physical and
commercial features of the business.
The operators also make part of the
proposition that the miners shall re-
turn to work as soon as the commits
sion is constituted, and cease all in
reference with nonunion mel.
The commission is to name a date
when it's findings shall be effective, end
to govern conditions of employment be-
tween the companies and their own en-
ployes for at least three years.
The statement was read to the presi-
dent, as an act of courtesy, before be-
ing given to the press.
Washington, Oct. 14.-By authority
of ]. P. Morgan, who with his partner,
Robert Bacon. and Secretary Root,
were in conference with President
Roosevelt at the temporary White
House last night for an hour and half,
e statement was given out by Secretary
Cortelyou in which the presidents Of
the coal carrying railroads and mine
operators propose a commission of five
persons to adjust the differences and
settle the coal strike in the anthracite
coal fields of Pennsylvania. The prop.
osition is believed by the administra.
ton to be satisfactory to the miners, az
it covers the proposition, made bv Pres.
ident Mitchell, of the Mine Workers
Union, with additional condition which
it is believed the miners will accept.
While no official statement was made
at the White House after the operators
address was made public by Secretary
Cortelyou, the opinion was expressed
that the way is now open for COM
plete settlement of the strike, and that

RAISE THEIR OWN COTTON.
British Manufacturers Move to Re.
ceive Home Supply.

London, Oct. 10. "A determined
effort is being made by the cotton in
dustry of England to obtain large part
Of their supply of raw material from
British territory alone. The govern
ment is aiding the movement with ad
vice and money.
The magnitude of the task which the
spinners and manufacturers have set
themselves may be gained from the fact
that at present five-sixhts of the cotton
supply comes from America. The par
tial failure of the cotton crop during
the last three years and the speculative
manipulation of prices have produced
an alarming shortage, and the already
serious situation in Lancashire is ag-
gravated by the possibility of an Amer
lean cotton trust.
English manufacturers and spinners
have accordingly formed what is called
the British Cotton Growing Association,
which is making strenuous efforts to
promote the production of cotton in
British colonies.
Mr.. Newton of Oldham, the chair.
man of the association, has been in
London during the present week inter-
viewing various colonial governors and
the leading officials at the colonial
Office and the foreign Office with regard
to the movement. His visit proved
very successful.

Believed Miners Will Accept.

Wileksbarre, Pa, Oct. a. Presi-
dent John Mitchell, when shown syn
opsis of the statement issued from the
White House early this morning, in
which the operators agree to arbitra-
ton, refused to make any comment
and Immediately retired.
A few moments later full ocpy OF
the statement was brought to strike
headquarters, but he refused to get up
to see it. The correspondents talked
with him through the transom of his
bedroom, and in answer to further
questions he said he knew about what
the statement contained.
While no official information can be
had at this time, it is believed the
arbitration plan proposed by. the
operators will not be entirely ,satisfac-
tory, but that the miners officials will
wave any objections they may have and
accept it.
The three district presidents are at
their homes and cannot be reached
from here this morning for an express
sion of opinion on the new turn OF
affairs.

Seattle, Oct. 13.-Dr. S. I. Stone,
who has arrived in Seattle from Kodiak
Island, Alaska, reports that the richest
gold strike ever made in that section
was discovered recently within thirty
miles of Kodiak, on what is known as
Dry Island. There are ten leads of rock
showing fine gold in every one of them.
The rock runs directly into the sea and
the strike is on the mail route that
runs from Kodiak to Unalaska. Pros
pecting for gold has been unsuccessful
in large degree until this summer
when Ralph ]. Phillips discovered the
gold lodges on Dry Island.

hotel. They met Secretary Root and
the three gentlemen walked over to the
White House and were shown at once
to the presidents room. They remain
ed with the president until ten
m inutes of IL O'Clock and then came
down stairs. Secretary Roots face was
beaming. and although he would say
nothing as to the conference except
that Mr.. Cortelyou would give the
press a statement later, he seemd so
satisfied that those who saw him be-
LEVIED that good progress had been
made towards settlement of the great
question which has been giving the adj
mnistration so much concern. The
three gentlemen on leaving the White
House, went to the Metropolitan Club,
where they remained in conversation
until late hour. while the president
retired Immediately to secure a much
needed rest.
The proposition of the coal operators
was result of visit of Secretary Root
to New York, and his conference with
Mr.. Morgan on Saturday. Mr.. Morgan
at that time expressed keen interest
in the situation and a desire to bring
about an adjustment if possible. Fol-
lowing this talk with Secretary Root
there was a conference in New York at
which the coal operators propose was
agreed to and Mr.. Morgan was delegated
to bring it to the president, in the be-
lief thatsuch would be the courteous
course and the best way Of promulga-
ting the offer of settlement.
The next move will be the presenta-
ton of the matter to the miners, and ii
is probable that President Mitchell will
be invited to Washington to consult
the president. 1t is believed here that
he will at once accept the proposition

HE DIDN'T MEAN 1T.
Bidder on Fort LawtOn Tries to Get
Out.


Out.
Seattle. Oct. l4.-Bids were opened
by Mai. Bingham for the construction
of seven new buildings at Fort Lawton,
permanent quarters for officers at that
post, which will increase it to the dig
nifty of a regimental post. The speci-
fications call tor the construction of the
buildings, the installing of plumbing,
gas fittings and steam heating fixtures.
There were seven bidders.
IA. Pettus, of San Francisco, with a
bid of 800, 1852, was the lowest bidder.
W. r. Nichols, of Tacoma. was next
with bid of $4,000. A representa-
tive Of Mr.. Pettus was present when
the bids were opened, and when it was
ascertained that his bid was sbout
$4,000 lower than any other, he set
up the claim that Mr.. Pettus intended
bidding upon the construction OF the
buildings only, and that he did not con-
Template putting in the heating and
lighting and plumbing.
AS the specifications are plainly
worded, Maj. Bingham did not feel in
.clined to listen to an excuse of that
kind, and as the bid is amply protected
by securities it will be sent on to
Washington. The authorities there
Will name the successful bidder, or it
may be that all the bids will be thrown
out and a new lot called for. The
quarters to be erected are to be COM
Portable and comodious, and when COM
pleted Fort Lawton will be a pleasant
place in which to live.
Maj. Bingham was considerably sur
rrised when the representative of Mr..
Pettus claimed that his bid did not
cover the construction complete of the
buildings, but announced that he would
send the bids off to Washington and
allow the matter to be adjusted there.
The bid is protected by securities to the
amount of 81, 900.
