thracite coal carrying roads and mine
operators held meeting In New York

dent John Mitchell of the United Mine
tors again declare that there is nothing
to arbitrade except the question whether
there shall be any arbitration. This reply
is made in response to President Mitchells
recent amended proposition of arbitration.
The operators do not. however, refuse
point blank to accept Mr. Mitchens latest
plan They assert that all the differences
between the miners and their employers
have been decided by the strike commits
sion, and that there is no reason why
another attempt should be made to ar
bitrate them. After describing the pre-
vious steps of the two sides and COM
menting upon the plans suggested by the
miners, the operators aver that the min
ers have rejected all their propositions,
and that they have nothing further to
offer.

The fundamental principles regarding
the conduct OF this business have all been
established by the strike commission the
operators declare. ''No reason is suggest
ed why they should be retired We have
iio 1uTtlRT SuSSeStiOfs make IMAM those
contained in our former propositions and
we regret that you have declined both of
them. We have nothing further 10 offer"
The operators assert also that the min
ers' offer to waive formal recognition of
the miners union is not material, and de-
clare that the miners program would In
crease the cost of domestic sizes of coal

JUDGE HATCH AND
THE JAPANESE
SAYS THAT IT IS INTERESTING TO
SPECULATE ON WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN IF WAR BROKE OUT.

Judge F. NJ. Hatch is quoted in the
Washington Post in regard to the Jap
anese question as follows.
1T is interesting to speculate on
what would happen in the Pacific i'm
mediately following a rupture between
the United States and Japan. For in
stance there are $4,000 Japs now at
work in the islands, one-third of the
entire population. Two-thirds of them
are in the reserve of the Japanese
army, and, therefore, trained soldiers.
1t would be an easy matter tor them to
overthrow the government and assume
control, especially when 1t is remem-
bered there are but 10000 Americans
there.
I'm the event of war between this
country and Japan, 1t would take us
a long time to send adequate fleets
around the Horn, while Japan in the
meantime could capture the Philippines
and the Hawaiian Islands, destroy ev-
cry vestige of our trade on the Pacifc,
and even lombard San Francisco
Portland, and Seattle. After that she
could send her fleets through the Suez
and around the Horn leaving no doubt
as to their movements. For a year or
two we should be at a great disadvan-
tage, but because of our resources Of
men and wealth we should win even
tually. Victory would cost us billions
in treasury and many many thousands
of lives
"The element of jealousy in the char
acter of the people of Japan may final
ly bring a conflict, but it should not
come now. The sand-lot orators and
small statesmen of San Francisco are
very short-slghted in their discHmina-
ton against the Japs theirs. If we are
to have any unpleasantness let it be in
a cause that is right. The San Fran
cisco people are wrong in this matter
and we are wrong in killing Jap poach-
ers off the Alaskan coast, simply he
cause they are poachers. We are big
enough and ought to be broad enough
to pay indemnity. Japan is right in not
tolerating discrimination against her
people"

CASE
OUT OF COURT
RAPID TRANSIT co. SETTLES
WITH JOHN BINGHAM FOR S25OO
AND JUDGMENT ENTERED.

The Bingham damage suit against
the Rapid Transit & Land Co., Ltd,
came to an abrupt close in Judge Rob-
inson's court yesterday. The case
had been compromised out of court
and the defendant company, through
its attorneys, ]. J. Dunno and d. L.
Wilmington, gave formal notice of such
disposition. When wilmington moved
that the jury be waived and that a sti-
pulation be filed whereby It had been
agreed by both parties that plaintiff
be awarded $500 and each side to pay
its share of the costs of the suit.
This case has caused considerable in
terest here and it was the second time
that the case had been in court on
trial. John bingham, the plaintiff, al
legged that while riding on a car Of de-
PENDANT company from the Melrose sta
ton on King street on May Z, 1905, he
had been forcibly elected from the car
by the defendants employee and sus-
tanned serious injuries including a
broken rib and other hurts. The plain
tiff further claimed that he had been
attacked with a fit of asthma imme-
diately after boarding the car and
while suffering from such attack and
while endeavoring to pay his fare, he
had been put off the car while it was
in motion near Thomas Square. Dam
ages of S1O,252.25 were claimed. A YER
dict for $4,000 in favor of the plaintiff
was awarded on the first trial, in Judge
De Bolts court, but on an appeal to
the Supreme Court the case was re-
manded for a new trial, 1t was the
present trial that ended yesterday in
the stipulation of judgment being en-
tered.
