MINERS CANCELLATION BOARD.
Decisions Reachsd In Atns cases-Tlein-
 statement of Men.

Philadelphia, Dec. 22.-The miners conciliation board appointed to adjust differences between the operators and miners and to settle grievances of the workers met to-day to consider cases in which the testimony had already been taken.
 There was full board present, and in the three-hour session the testimony in quite number of cases was read over and discussed, but decisions were reached in only nine cases. These were finally settled by the adoption of the following resolution:
 Resolved, That the board of concili- ation recommends that, inasmueh as the operators at Summit Branch col fiery at Williamstown and at Shoot Mountain colliery at Lykens have of- fered to provide employment, as oppor- tunity offers, for persons who have pre- sented grievances, these men be given preference over other men for such positions as they are capable of fill- ing"
 All of the cases considered and most of those which will be taken up to- morrow are those of men who were not reinst ated after the close of the strike in 1902. -.5

JAY COULD HURT.
Painful Accident Go Young Son of
 George J Gould.

New York, Dec. 22.-while playing polo on the Georgian court at Lake wood, N. J., last April, young Jay Gould, son of George J. Gould, was struck on the knee with a polo ball. The blow caused him considerable pain, and soon afterwards the knee became swollen and thames. Since then he has walked with slight limp. The family physician found that there was frac- ture of the tibia just below the knee cap and that a splinter of the bone was almost protruding through the skin. To-day three physicians operat- ed and found that a piece of bone two inches long had been splintered from the shaft, and a spicular of bone from the splinter had worked it's way up to the top of the knee cap. The splinter was bound to the shaft and held in place by tight spilnt. The lad will probably be confined to his bed for about two weeks.

Details Made Known Operating Ez.
 pensea to he Reduced. @YG 2.

New York, Dec. 22.-The following de- tails of the merger of the American Sheet Steel company and the American Tin Plate company, the knowledge of which combine has been held in finan- cial circles for some weeks, were made public tonight:
 'The new consolidated company is to be known as the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company of New Jersey. Its offices are to be located in the Prick building in Pittsburg. The new officers elected include George G. McMurtry, chairman of the board; William l.. Graham, president; W. M. Leeds, first vice-president; Eugene W. Pargny, sec- ond vice-president; H. B. Wheeler, sec- retary and treasurer.
 "The completion of the merger will be effective prior to February 1. The original companies were capitalized at $50, 900, 900 each. The American Sheet Steel company now operates nineteen modern sheet plants scattered through out Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana. The American Tin Plate company op- crates a total of twenty-six block sheet mills and twenty-six timing plants.
 "The merger of the two companies re- duces the operating expenses by high percentage.
 with the removal of these companies and their general offices to Pittsburg there passes from New York practically the last of the general offices of the subsidiary companies of the Steel cor poration."

 New York. Dec. 22.--The annual din- ner of the New England Society of the City of New York held tonight in the Waldorf Astoria was more notable af- fair than any held during the ninety eight years since the incorporation of the society. There were 554 diners and the distinguished speakers included Whitelaw Reid, Andrew Carnegie, Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hollis, General H. c. Corbin and R. M. Stuart -Wortley.
 MT. Carnegie said in part: j.
 MT. President: New England seems in one respect to have been unfortunate She was surely christened wrongly at her birth. There must have been some mistake. Everything points to sub- stitution, religiously, educationally, nor socially. She is republican politically, non -conformist religiously, democratic socially, as Scotland is, and all her characteristics, her shrewdness, tenaci- ty, frugality, indomitable will, her grip, her enthusiasms, her intellec- tuality are the same as the Scotch. She is no child of the soft south plains of England, the gay lands, capes and gar- dens of roses, but of the stern north the Hand os the mountain and the flood" in every feature. Should she ever conclude to be rechristened after her true mother, and bear the proud name to which she is entitled-"New Scot land'-how Scotland would be uplifted.
 "Old Scotland and New Scotland,'' as they always have stood in the past for the same causes, stand to-day prepared to do or die as of yore, in the future if needsul, for civil and religious liberty, national independence, for the royalty of man. and the defense of these would march to-day to stake the faggot, exult- ingly as their forefathers did, rejoicing in the sacrifice. @-.,
 ''Mr. President and gentlemen, search all history and no two peoples can be found so much alike in their history characteristics, aims, andi achievements and so completely one in faith and deed.'

 New London, Dec. 22.-When Captain Charles F. Taylor was seen by The As-
 sociated Press representatives at his
 home in Groton tonight in relation to
 the identification of the man Anderson
 in connection with the Martin murder
 in New York, he was shown,two photo-
 graphs of the man Totterman, now un-
 der arrest, one a profile view without a hat, and the other a full face view with a hat, he said: That side view is an ex- cellent likeness oe the man Anderson, who was sailor on the New London
 barge Majestic. and who was injured aboard the vessel in New Haven harbor last April. At that tfne Anderson,s Emoustache was not so long as to show 1 in the photograph, but the eyes, nose
 and particularly the hair are the same.
 Anderson's was what I called a good face, rather narrow toward the chin and
 his eyes were. small and blue. just as the photograph would indicate TO make the, identification complete it
 would only be necessary for the author- ities in New York to examine the head, | is the man under arrest, and on the right side near the crown there would
 be the scar of long jagged wound, the
 result of the fall which sent Anderson into the New Haven hospital. The scar
 should be nearly four inches long, and show where the stitches had been taken. II am quite positive that this photo-
 graph is that of Anderson. who, when under the influence of liquor, sconfided | to me that his right name was Carl | Nelson. As an. additional means of Identification. the authorities might in- quire of the Swedish consul in New
 York, to whom, in April last, turned over Anderson's effects and what mon- | ey was coming to him at the time he | was sent to the hospital" | Captain Taylor added that Anderson did not have the appearance of a Swede, his characteristics being more like those of a Norwegian. Anderson was of mild disposition when sober,
 but inclined to be ugly when drunk
 and for seventeen days he refused to
 go ashore while the vessel lay at an-
 chor at Baltimore, saying that he knew
 his weakness for liquor would result in l trouble.
 Anderson asked Captain Taylor to take any weapons he might have in his possession from him should he ever show them when drunk. Anderson landed in Baltimore, March 16, in a
 British ship from Iquequi, Chilli. He
 was paid off by the British consul at
 Baltimore and immediately shipped on
 the British ship Andora in the same port, deserting the latter vessel to ship
 on the barge Majestic. Anderson, ac- cording to Captain Taylor, was mild
 hammered man and very good to the Taylor children aboard the barge. The accident at New Haven was due to An- derson falling off the deck house of the barge while drunk

 Hon. George w. Ross, premier of on- tario, delivered an address at the uni- versity to-day on 'The Political Cleav- age of North America" The speaker discussed at length the cause which led to the division of, the North American continent between the two nations by which it is now held. Speaking of the movement recently inaugurated by Joseph Chamberlain to federate the English colonies on the basis of imperial protection against the world, Premier Ross said:
 Tt requires no argument to show that the establishment of commercial relations within the empire on the basis of preferential tariff would greatly strengthen the ties which bind all the colonies, including Canada, to the en- pire. and remove still further in the background whatever inducements re- main for closer political or commercial relations with the United States"
 Premier Ross said that he did not de- sire to leave the impression that the Canadians looked with aversion upon the American form of government and the activity which this nation has ex- hibited in every department of human enterprise and cited many instances in which Canada had followed the lead of the United States, greatly to it's own advantage.

 It is thought that maybe the woman mght have been woman named An- nie Wilcox, who said that she lived on a barge and who deserted her little child at Mrs. Stevens house at 131 Water street, yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Stevens turned the child over to the Organized Charities last night.
