Edward Orders Special Honors to Be

London, Oct. 4.-King Edward is
particularly interested in the presence
of the American generals, Corbin and
Young, in England, and if possible, he
hopes to meet them and General Wood
when the latter arrives here.
In the meantime the Associated
Press learns that his majesty has sent
special word from Scotland that all
attentions shall be shown the visit
ing generals while they are in Lon

the visitors care to go over Windsor
castle. all the private apartments
therein shall be thrown open and that

American and British officers and to
the kindness the former exhibited to-

Kelly-Kelly, who was one of the Brit.

these circumstances. The royal hos.

COAL DEALERS DIsMAYED.
Failure to Settle Strike Cause Con.

New York, Ocot. 4.-CoaI dealers In

Coal retailed in the tenement dis
tricts is now selling at 80 cents a pail,
which makes a ton cost $3.50.
For a number of years the Salvation
Army has bought large quantities of
coal to sell to the poor at the rate of
3 cents a pail One of the officers
has announced, however, that the ar
my is unable to obtain a supply for
the coming winter.
A firm of miners and dealers which
shipped, a year ago, $500 tons of an

pertinent, has found that the coal was
not used, and has bought it back AMI
sold it here for delivery on it's arrS*.

CHAIRMAN THOMAS TALKS.
Represented Erie Railway at Late Coal
Strike Conference.

New York, Oct 4.-The anthracite
coal railroad presidents arrived here
from Washington on a special train to-
day. E. B. Thomas, chairman of the
board of the Erie Railroad company,
who represented that company at the
conference with President Roosevelt
at Washington yesterday, said today:
There is nothing to add to my state
ment issued yesterday in Washing
ton. Our proposition certainly pro
vides a tribunal which affords the min.
ers every possible protection; but we
cannot be expected to turn the con
duct of property which involves the
interests of such a large number Of
people over to the control Of an ire
spOnsible and illegal association and
place the lives and property Of our
loyal employees at their mercy. Our
offer affords every opportunity for fair
and liberal treatment with appeal to
an impartial tribunal free from the in
fluences of the bituminous local com
bination. Our forces of men are in
creasing, and we produced yesterday
over 1000 tons of coal"
President Truesdale, of the Lacka-
wanna road, had nothing to add to the
statement submitted by him to the
president at Washington yesterday.
He believed, he said that it was not
the intention of the authorities to call
out the federal troops.

TIE tonnage, length and engine pow
er depend upon the speed which will
be attempted and until this is deter
mined neither of these designs can be
prepared for tenders offered.
The gain in speed since 1840 has
been about two and q half knots each
decade, and every adS2Honal knot rep
resents an enormous increase in the
cost of construction and the consump-
ton of coal. Engineers estimate that
the new steamers, If designed for a
speed of "a knots, need to be 750 feet
long, and cost about $4,375,000 The
fast German liners now afoat have
averaged a cost of about $3,000,000,
but the Kaiser Wilhelm II, now under
construction will be still faster and
will cost considerably more than $3,
500 900.
If the designers are required TO
produce 25-knot ships they will be
forced to increase the length of the
vessels and run up the cost above
$4,500,000.

OF COAL
CONFERENCE FAIL
10 Agreement Between OPP
orators and Miners.
PRESIDENTS GOOD OFFICES FAIL.

apparently Rock on Which Conference
Split Was Recognition of the Miners
Union-Operators Refuse Arbitration
of Existing Trouble.
Washington, Oct. 4.-The great coal
conference between the president and
representatives of the operators and
the miners came to an end at the TEN.
porary White House facing Lafayette
square at 4:55 o'clock yesterday al
ternoon with a failure to reach an
agreement.
Apparently the rock upon which the
conference split was recognition of
the miners union. The president had
urged the contending parties to cease
strife in the interests of the pubic
welfare; the miners, through the pres.
ident of their union, had expressed
willingness to submit differences to
the arbitration of a tribunal to be
named by the president and to enter
into an agreement to abide by terms
of from one to five years, and the EN-
ployers, through the presidents OF the
railroad and coal companies and
leading independent mine operator,
had squarely refused arbitration, had
denounced the miners labor organiza-
ton as lawless and anarchistic body
with which they could and would have
no dealings. had demanded federal
troops to insure complete protection
10 workers and their families in the
mining region and court proceedings
against the miners union and had o.
fered, if the men returned to work,
to submit grievances at individual col
Iieries to the decision of the judges
OF the court of common pleas for the
district of Pennsylvania in which the
colliery was located. There the mat
ter closed.
Administration Can Do No More.
1t is not yet known whether Presi-
dent Roosevelt will issue a statement
commenting upon the result Of yester-
DAYS coal strike conference. Some
of the presidents cabinet will advise
against such course. There is dis
appointment that the effort OF the
president met with no better success
but it seems to be the opinion OF those
who are cognizant of the situation
that the administration can do no
more. The good offices of the presi-
dent to settle the strike was the linn
it of his power. Late last evening
the operators who were in conference
called on Secretary Root, but the posi-.
tion they had assumed made it impos-
sible to carry the negotiations fur
ther, although various phases OF the
situation were briefly discussed.
President Mitchell and the other
members of the anthracite miners par
ty who attended yesterdays confer
ence left Washington at 1880 O'Clock
today over the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad for their headquarters at
Wilkes barre. Before boarding the
train Mr.. Mitchell said that probably

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
Will Not Be Called to Deal With Coal
Strike Situation.

strike SITUATION.
Washington, Oct. 4-There will be
no call for an extra session OF con-
gress to deal with the coal strike sit
uation at this stage The president
expressly stated in his appeal to the
operators and representatives of the
miners yesterday that he did not act
officially in calling them together. He
has. for the time being, exhausted his
individual resources. In his views,
the matter is one with which the state
of Pennsylvania should deal. If the
commonwealth finds itself unable to
control the situation and appeals to
him through the constitutional coun-
ellis. the president will be ready to
bring into play the great forces of the
national government, military and civ.
IL But for the time being the presi-
dent has relaxed his efforts.
A great many radical suggestions
have been made as the result of the
failure of the conference yesterday,
and they include everything from TAX
ing possession of the mines by the
government TO sending United States
troops to Pennsylvania without regard
to a call from the governor of that
state. 1t can be positively stated that
none of these suggestions have recelv-
ed serious consideration by the admin.

HENDsONVILLE, S. G., Sept. 2, 1896.
Mr. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated float
inc saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. [ employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnsons Chill
and Fever Tonic, and l determined to give the
medicine trial. I procured it, and those who
were sick were put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever,
Yours very truly

through the winter, but we shall re

count of the public. Indeed, if only

ators in the conference yesterday, say
ing:
Several of them made the state.
ment that there had been 20 murders
by the strikers since the beginning of
the strike. We challenged the state
ment on tie spot, and l volunteered
to tender my resignation then and
there if it could be proven that there
had been 30 deaths all told from vio.
lence since the inception of the strike
The proposition was not accepted.
The truth is that there have been just
seven deaths and three of those were
caused by the coal and iron police,
caused by the mine operators. The
trouble is that these men never go t.
the mines and they accept without
question all the representations made
to them"

Twenty-seventh street east through
