COAL CONFERENCE ENDED.
Neither Governor Stone or President

Neither Governor Stone or President
win Say With What Results :.
Harrisburg Pa, Sept 13.-Tyhe con.
ference between Governor Stone aud
President John Mitchell, of the Uplted
Mine Workers OF America. and others
on matters pertaining to the strike,
ended at 4.80 o'clock this morning AZ
Ter q discussion of two hours and
half
At the conclusion of the meeting
Governor Stone gayo to the waiting
newspaper correspondents written
statement reading as follows:
"Messrs Mitchell, Nichols, Fahey,
Duffy, Senator Flynn Richardson and
Governor Stone have been in confer
ence. All the differences have been
discussed with the best OF feeling"
Every effort to get the participants
in the conference to divulge what
took place proved unavalllng. Gov
euor Stone and Senator Flynn imme-
diately retired and refused to be seen.
and the others would say nothing be-
yond what was contained In the non
commIttaI statement given out by tho
governor
President Mitchell would not even
say whether the conference was salts
factory to him and his district presi-
dents. While no official information
can be had on the matter 1t is believ-
ed here that Governor Stone and his
colleague submitted a proposition to
President Mitchell which will tend 70
settle the strike In the hard coal
leIda.

GIGANTIC RAILROAD
ALLIANCE IS FORMED
Two Great Factors In East
ern Field Combine.
VANDERBILT AND PENNSYLVANIA
This Combination of Interests Makes
One of the Biggest Deals that Has
Ever oocurred-capitaIizaton 3d.
ooo,ooo,o0o; Mileage 10000.

ooo,ooo,o0o; Mileage 10000.
Cleveland, O., Sept. 13.-The Leader
this morning prints the following in
part:
A financial alliance has h@en formed
by the two great factors in the east
ern railroad field, the Vanderbilt in
terests and those of the Pennsylvania
system. The working agreement has
been close in the past, but it has new
en- come to an audaCious allotment
of territory and division of property
between the two big houses such as
the new arrangement entails.
The new combination grew out Of
q competitive movement of several
months ago The two big interests
were mutually interested in the BIZ
luminous coal fields, and in the hard
coal fields as well. The Pennsylvania
system predominated the Vanderbilt
in the latter. By an understanding
the Vanderbilts yielded the soft coal
fields to the Pennsylvania in return
for similar concession on the hard
coal from Pennsylvania. The east
srn field was threatened by an inva'
sion first by the Goulds and later by
the Grand Trunk railroad, and these
big financial interests wanted to pre-
serve the territory for themselves and
the ties that had been formed by the
coal deal were strengthened in the en-.
deavor to protect the eastern field.
The interests of the two big houses
were growing gradually together, and
soon resulted in an understanding such
as has now been reached.
A short time ago-just before w. K,
Vanderbilt went abroad-Mr. Cassatt,
the president of the Pennsylvania rail
road, went to New York to call upon
him This is the meeting of which
so much was cOnjectured at the time,
but so little known definitely. At that
time it was agreed to form an of.
fensive alliance in the east to com
pletely control the situation and ex-
clude all others from that field except
the favored members of the alliance.
The combination of interests makes
one of the biggest deals that has ever
been seen. To consider the vested
rights of the two big houses east of
Chicago, to say nothing of their prop
erty west of that point, gives them
a capitalization of over $2,000,000 600
and a mileage Of over 10000.
The organization promises to be the
most domineering that has ever been
formed The aim is to absolutely
control the transportation facilities in
the territory between Chicago and st.
Louis, the great lakes and the Ohio
river and the Canadian boundary and
the Potomac river, through to the AT.
lantic coast.
The roads included in the combine
are the New York Central, Pennsyl-
vania, Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapeake
and Ohio. Norfolk and Western, Phil.
adelphia and Reading, Lake Shore, Big
Four, Michigan Central, Nickel Plate,
Boston and Albany, Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern, Pere Marquette,
Hooking Valley and Lake Erie and
Western

Miner Touring TransvaaI.

New York, Sept 13.-Lord Miner,
who with General Baden-Powell and
other officers, left johannesburg on
Thursday, will proceed says a Lon
don dispatch to The Times, on an ex'
tended tour of the western Transvaal,
the most fertile part of the country.
A large number of Beers are already
back on their farms there, the work Of
repatriation and settlement having
progressed more quickly in that sec
tion than any other. The tour will,
it is expected, bring the governor Of
the Transvaal into closer touch with
the people in the outlying districts, to
whom a visit of few minutes appeals
more than a years government.
