BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, June 2s.-Representa-
tive Loren Fletcher of Minneapolis
takes serious and rather profane and
abusive exceptions to statements re-
Gently made in this correspondence to
the effect that Representative Andrus
of Yonkers, n. Y, member of the
house committee on public buildings
sistance to him in securing the appro-
priation for the proposed new Mime
apS!is postoffce building.
Mr.. Fletcher, wanted. an opportunity
to go back home and represent TO his
constituents that he had secured the
Appropriation all by himself, perhaps
In the face Of the opposition Of the
committee led on by Mr.. Andrus. and
possibly in the face of the opposition
Of the speaker himself. ,E'75e So
What Mr.. Andrus Did.
Such statement would reflect ad-
ditional glory on "Your Uncle,' but
1t would be untrue. ~
Mr.. Andrus, rs member of the
committee, was in position where he
could by a word of objection have
eliminated Minneapolis from The bill.
He didn't object, but, on the other
hand, he assisted in every way pos
sible. ~~-- ~. Il =
This assistance Mr.. Fletcher cheer
fully accepts, so far as this city and
the house of representatives are con-
cerned, but for purposes Of Minneap-
oils consumption he has been very
anxious to have the word 90 forth
himself. q. '-@
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Stevens Of
T g o.urnal's Washington bu-
reau saw Mr.. Fletcher for the purpose
Of ascertaining from him in person
whether it was his intention again to
be a candidate for congress-. M.
Fletcher. without replying to the aues-
ton, began to. denounce his inter
ro2gator, and the language he used,
while picturesque, would not do for
repetition in family newspaper such
as TIL e Journal.
Fletcher Says He's "It.'' ~. :
Mr.. Fletcher wound up the interview
by saying that he would have every
body understand that, by, the great
horn spoon, he and not Mr.. Andrus, was
representing the Minneapolis district
and that when that district got any
thing in congress it got it thru him and
not thru outsiders. ~. - f. e :
But, nevertheless and notwithstand
ing. - as Senator Vest used to say whe1
telling one of his choicest stories, Mr.
Andrus did help get the Minneapolis
appropriation, and but for that help Mr.
Fletcher would not now have ANYTHING
another nomination. o..
Representative Andrus, in speaking
to T h e Journal correspondent to
day, after outlining what he had don,
in the committee this session to hell
along the Minneapolis postoffice appro
priation, said that he was good frient
=. of Minneapolis. and would continue t.
DO everything he could to forward he
interests.
Nothing was said to him about tn
claim made by Fletcher that he s(Fletch
cry had secured the postoffice appro
priation without assistance, and so MI
Andrus had no opportunity to discus
that phase Of the question.

DIscoURAeINo STATEMENT.

Pittsburg, Feb. 25.-Francis l. Rob bins, chairman of the executive board of the Pittsburg Coal company and one of the presidents who was a party of the interstate agreement was not in the city tonight but earlier in the day he said: There has been no change tu the situation between the bituminous coal operators and the United Mine Workers regarding the arrangement of a new wage agreement for the year starting April l, next. There can be no compromise to offer to the miners without a meeting of the operators who are members of the interstate agree ment and no such meeting has been held nor has one been called. The dis pute bteween the miners and operators remains fdentically as it has been since the adjournment of the joint con- ference in Indianapolis.

never were they more prosperous than now. From admissions made by those engaged in the production of coal and dependent largely upon these above named industries. it must have been apparent that few cents per ton ad- vance to the miners was not to stand in the way of the prosperous condition of the iron, steel and railroad inter ests. The operators at the recent In- convention showed the strongest evidence of the weakness of their position when they ignored our arguments that they could not pay an advance to dhe mine workers at the present selling price of coal and still make large profit. Developments will prove additional facts, namely First That some of the large corporations represented at the recent Indianapolis joint convention were not in a posi- tion to make successful resistance of the miners demands. Second. That the great coal consuming public will not materially suffer by reason of the advance which will be granted to min CTS"

THE ORCHARD
 CONFESSION
An Official Statement of
 its Existence
In Securing 1t the Detective Was Aided by the Assassin's Early Re- ligiOus Training.

Boise, Idaho, Feb Ex-Governor Gooding tonight issued the following statement with respect to the Steunen- berg assassination case:
 'I want to state officially that Harry Orchard has made a full con- fession as to the manner and the mo- tive of the assassination of ex-Gover- nor Stemenberg telling of the plans made and giving the names of those making them. The assassination of ex- Governor Steunenberg, which occurred at his own gate on the evening of Dec. 30, 1905. was the third attempt that Orchard made against his life. This confession was made to Captain Nc Parland. It included the history Of his early boyhood up to his arrest In that confession Orchard implicated all those now under arrest and others in cluding J. l.. Simpkins He told the story of twenty murders, the results of conspiracies in which all the accus- ed parties were interested. When this story is given to the public, ! believe it will be the greatest narrative or crime of whicH the world knows.
 There never has been any doubt as to the truth of Orchards confession among those who are familiar with the crimes committed in Idaho and Colo rado and charged 10 the inner circle of the Western Federation of miners. I attribute Orcaard's confession to the great brain or James Mcfarland. who has been employed by the state to run
 down the murderers of ex-Governor Steunenberg. have seen Orchard my self since this confession. was made. He told me that no promises of elem ency or reward had been held out to him by Mcfarland or any one else.
 Mcfarland was aided in his work by Orchards early training. Tn his boyhood the bible was read night and morning. by his parents. The impress
 sions of the early days came up and
 smote his sconscience when he was brought face to-face with his God. He told me that hebelieved in the Supreme Being and hereafter and that now hls one thought was to make peace with his maker.
 ''The finding of the bomb at Judge Goddard's gate and many other things which will later be made known at-the , trial. have proved the truthfulness of Orchards confession beyond all ques-
 tion. to those familiar with this story The state desires to secure justice. There is no thought of punishing the
 innocent or waging war on any labo- organization.

NO STRIKE
 THIS YEAR
Announcement by an Off
 Ger of Mine Workers
The Operators Will Agree to the Scale of Two Years Ago, and Per- haps More.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 25.-In a statement issued tonight to tne As sociated Press, Vice President T. L. Lewis, of the United Mine Workers of America declares there will be no strike of the mine workers on April l, saying operators will restore the con- ditions accepted by the miners two years ago and perhaps more.
 You may accept one proposition as fixed fact--that there will be no strike in the mining industry on April l. Operators will restore the figures accepted by miners two years ago and perhaps more. F. L. Robbins of Pennsylvania, and MT. Taylor of IlH- nois leaders of operators, recognize their untenable. position at Indianapo- lis, and have gracefully submitted to the inevitable and will pay an advance to miners. The general strike will be averted. Business is not to be para lyzed by industrial strife. An era of peace will be established for another period of years and the trade agree ment method of settling labor dis putes will win new friends to it's standard.
 The anthracite operators must now grant an advance in view of the action of the operators.
 The details will be worked out lat CT and probably through a special nat ional convention of the mine workers. For two years it has been my deter mined purpose to have all wage agree ments of miners terminate on tne same date, so that unity of action might be secured without violating existing agreements on April 1, 1906. The first move in this direction was made in Pittsburg Kansas, in the summer of 1904, when the expiration of the date of the contract was ex- tended from the end of August to end of March, this year. Practically all our agreements expire March 31, next. By virtue of this arran cement the mine workers of the country are now in a position to compel the operators to deal with us justly.
 At the recent joint convention I advocated an advance for miners be- cause I believe they are entitled to it. The iron and stell industry and the railroad companies of the country are very large consumers of coal, and

Pekin. Feb. 25.-The guards around the Forbidden City have been doubled since yesterday afternoon and all the palaces and residences of high off cials are especially guarded. The po- lice wno have hitherto carried batons are now armed with rifles
 All the officials that are accessible either refuse any information or pro- fess ignorance of the reasons for the precautions that have been taken and a great many rumors are afloat. The chief of police and other off cials were telephoned yesterday to report to the palace and a display of force immediately followed their con ference; possibly the only cause is the alarm of the Empress Dowager over the prevalence Of revolutionary rum ors recently.
 The Chinese minister at TOkio a few days ago telegraphed the government warning it against several revolution ary students who are departing from Japan to China Two packages of dynamite have been found in the street outside she gate to Hthe palace. Ap- parently they were dropped by some one afraid to carry them. One report finding credence is that there is d quarrel afoot within the palace be- tween the partisans of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor over the selection of an heir to the throne, but it is not confirmed.
 All of the information obtainable in- dicates that the military measures at the palace were only precautionary and were taken because of the widely circulated rumors that there would be trouble here on Sunday.
 The canard that Sunday had been designated as the day for disturbances appears to have emanated from the United States. Telegrams describing the military preparations of the Amer ican government for trouble in China

A MISSIONARIES VIEW.

New York. Feb. 25.-Dr Voyes, a veteran missionary in China, writing to the Presbyterian board of foreign missions says:
 We have been led to feel more re gently that the Chinese are more in earnest than they were supposed to be and that their staying power win be a surprise to the United States. We fear these Chinese Intoxicated by their power, is they succeed in right ening America, will be led 10 extremes. Since Japan's success western pres tige has dropped a great deal The rios up in Shanghai that grew out of a dispute between the Chinese and British representatives in the mixed court there seems to show this. Now , that it seems as though the Chinese have practically gained their point. something else may arise.
 Personally I am glad to see the Chinese waking up and telling people to keep off their toes; but I fear they will carry things too far too rapidly and cause @ lot of needless trouble, unless it is true. that when a people change there must be a great deal Of suffering before it is possible. To offset tais-there are Q. great many sen sible men in China and we hope they can gain and keep the upper hand. The other day MT BOggs saw a large consignment of American oil on it's way up into the interior. Probably the objectionable feature of this is everywhere. but it will be bothersome.
 At present the Chinese in.- the in terror are somewhat aroused, by the high-handed action of the officials. who. in establishing schools. Of west
