tant from the house in which Assistant Secretary Latta is established, and pro- visions has been made for as complete messenger service as may be neces- sary.
 It is evidently the intention of the President to cut out all routine work except such as may be absolutely nec- essary. Secretary Latta's quarters are fitted up for any official service he and the President may be called upon to perform but the telegraph office at Stamboul is a mile or two distant. The temporary executive office is in a large frame cottage. and it requires no stretch of the ina gination to call 1t the White House.
 A telegraph operator has been sent in from St Louis and he occupies an office in freight car on the side track which has been fitted for the aocommo- dation of the President. This tempor- ary office also serves the representa- tives of the press associations, who are the only newspaper men on the ground. They were detached from the Presi dents party at Memphis, and owing to the fact that the entire section is sparsely settled, had some difficulty in finding accommodations. They have. however, been taken in by Gen. George O'Hara, who lives about mile dis tant from MT. Latta's headquarters.

Stamboul, La, october 7.-Assistant Secretary Latta started out early to- day to find the President at his camp in the wilderness but at late hour to- night had not returned. It is pre- sumed that when he arrived at the camp the President was out on his hunt, and that Secretary Latta found 1t necessary to remain over night. He took a number of personal letters to the President. MT. Latta was accom- panied by his host Leo Shields, who is familiar with the country.
 Except that the temperature is too high to render physical exercise en- ioyabIe, the President is having favor able weather. Previous to his arrival there had been no rain for weeks, and the conditions were most unfayorable for hunting, the breaking of the dry twigs giving warning to the game of the approach of it's foe and the hard surface being very trying to the feet of the hunting dogs. Indeed some of the dogs the President is using were recently so disabled by this condition that they came near being unfit for his use
 The camp is about eight miles dis

STRIKE WILL SOON END.

 Next Thursday.

Cleveland, O., October The Cleve- land News today says:
 Upon what may be accepted as indis- putable authority the News is able 10 say that the long strike of the telegra- phers will probably end in Cleveland at least Thursday of this week, when the strikers will return to work
 "Overtures were made today by the strikers with a view to ending the strike. request was sent by J. E. Mattern, local leader of the strike. for permission to return to work on Thursday. It is said by persons interested in the strike that if permission is not given by the strike lead- CTS the men will go back of their own ac- cord and Thursday has been set as the time of the resumption of work.
 Officials of both the Western Union and Postal companies stated today that any proposition looking to the reinstatement of all the strikers would not be consid- cred. The officials declared that their forces had gradually been increased dur ing the past few days, and that prac- tically all of the men employed to take the place of strikers would be retained. It was added that as result probably not more than a third of the strikers would be reinstated.

Atlanta, October With delegates present representing every phase of the cotton industry from the time the cot ton leaves the planters hands to the time when the product, woven into fabrics, is sent to the markets of the world. and including representatives of many foreign countries, the International Conference of Cotton Spnners and Grow CTS met at the state capital building in this city today for three days session.
 More than 50o delegates were present. nearly a hundred of these representing the great mills of Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal With an aggregate wealth in farm lands, cot ton crop and mills of nearly four billions of dollars.

 Congressman Hefin of Lafayette, Ala, introduced a resolution against future speculation in the committee of buying and selling, and asking the conference to memoralze Congress and the British parliament to adopt measures to stop speculation in cotton, except that actually owned These resolutions brought forth strong opposition and heated debate. Will liam Dodd of England announced that the British parliament had been similarly memoralized which caused the Liverpool cotton exchange to be investigated. and on the report of the committee refused to disturb the present system, and, ne added. will not do so.
 B. H. Simmons, announcing himself farmer from North Carolina, opposed the resolution. Mike H.

Pittsburg, October livery little Of definite nature is known here regarding the sensational developments in the Hartje divorce case which are alleged by the woman's husband. Augustus Hartje the millionaire paper manufacturer of this city.
 The confession which Thomas Madnne the coachman correspondent Is said to have made to MT. Hartje's representatives has created a profound impression. It was learned today that Nadine was mar ried recently and is now in Belfast, Ire land, with his wife. It is said that Ma dine intends to make that place his per- manent home.
 Mrs. Mary Scott-Hartje, who is visit ing at Ligonier Springs, Pa, in a tele- phonic conversation with this city today refused to discuss the new phases of the ease as alleged by her husband.
 The petition to the supreme court re- suits, it is said, upon the discovery of a package of letters alleged to have been written by the two sisters of Mrs. Hartje and Thomas Nadine, the object being to show that Mrs. Hartje was guilty of the charge of intimacy brought against ner by her husband. These letters of Mrs. Iartjes sisters are alleged to contain damaging admissions. Much documen- tary evidence and confession, it is al- legged, have been secured from Nadine. Within short time, 1t is promised, a still greater sensation than that which came to light this morning will be made public by Mrs. Hartjes counsel. Concern ing the letters alleged to have been wrrt- ten by Ida Scott, a sister of Mrs Hartje. it is said they were addressed to Howard Lappe who eloped to Youngs- town, O., with Ida Scott last spring but paternal objections prevented the mar riage.
 Referring to the letters today, Augustus Hartje said:
 The circumstances surrounding the re- coVery of additional letters leave no doubt that they are genuine, and establish beyond question that the charges I made were true The letters from Mrs. HartIe s own sister prove that sne knew the charges against the woman from whom seek a divorce are true. There is no pos sible way to deny the authenticity or genuineness of those letters sent to Lappe. They were written by a girl wao expected to become the wife of the man to whom they were written. and the very tone shows them to he just as we state. We have the originals and any one wno has any desire to do so can see them.

Sidney. N s.. October 7.-While Mar conf experts were testing new reeeiv- ing cones at the top of the tower at the station at Port Morien, an operator was in communication with the wireless station at Manila. The message recelVeo was that the American cruiser Philadel- phia had arrived there. The Mareoni people account for the occurrence by the theory that the cone at Manila must nave been in perfect tune with that at Port Morien.
 The message from Manila was picked up while being sent to some other sta- tion on the Pacific or to war vessel. At the time the experts were experiment. ing in an effort to receive messag ges from Ireland. They received several messages from the Irish station and were in the act Of making further tests when the instrument recorded the arrival of the Philadelphia at Manila.

He further ayers that Mrs. Hartje arranged with hair dresser, Ambrois of Paris, to mail let ters through him to Nadine and that she received letters from the coachman and sent money to him through the same avenue He relates that the receipt of the letters by Nadine were established through Madines mother at Down Pat rick, Ireland, and by the testimony of the coachmans sister.
 The petitioner sets forth that the let ters were in the possession of Nadine mother until July of this year, when he wrote for them, and that on August they were delivered by Nadine to rep resentative of Mr. Hartje in Toronto, Canada Others letters which the peti toner says he has found since the case was heard were written, he alleges, by Helen Scott and Ida Scott, to Howard A. Lappe of Pittsburg, Pa. in which the writers indicate that unless their parents paid them certain sum of money, paid each month they would turn in'' for the petitioner. These letters were written, according to the petitioner, on April 2, and April 19, 1907.

Tho ,e-e s,-

agent of the Louisiana state board or as- riculture and immigration, out of funds regularly appropriated by the state legls- lature. He was given assurance that en- ployment as a farm laborer would be secured for him. and he promised 10 re- turn to the state the money advanced to him to pay his passage from Havana 10 New Orleans. No employer was selected for him, but he was left free to work for whom he pleased.
 The case was brought by the state of Louisiana to test the immigration XIV. Several other southern states were inter- ested in the matter because they had been engaged in soliciting immigration to points within their borders.
 The attorney generals opinion says "The assurances given to Garcia by the state agents constitute. fin my opinion, promises for employment within the ill., hihition of the statute While it Is pro- vided that aliens coming to this country in consequence of advertisements by state or it's Inducements to immigration shall not be treated as coming under promise of employment. there is no ex- ception in favor of q state in reference to specific promises or employment to iti- dividual immigrants such as were held out to Garcia by the representatives of the state board"
 The attorney general holds. therefore, that lon account of assurances of en- ployment that were given Garcia as an inducement to his immigration, he siould be excluded from admission
 1t is expected that the state of Louis jana will carry the case into the courts in order to obtain a judicial determraa- tion of the question, which means much, in view of the authorities, to all or the states of the south.
