diately announce that l would under

II shall not follow this course. be-

look at the matter only from the
standpoint of the popular interest.
IF at this particular crisis, with the
particular problems ahead of us at
this particular time, the people feel
that l am the one man in sight to do
the job, then | would regard myself
as shirking a plain duty II l refused to
do it. What l am interested in, re-
member, is not in the least holding the
Office, but doing Job that is actually
worth doing; this is the position that
to the best of my belief l have always
taken, and always shall take. If the
people should feel that l was the in
strunent to be used at this time, l
should accept, even though ! know
that should be broken and cast aside
in the using. ] am not concerned with
welfare of any one man in this matter,
not with Mr.. Tafts welfare, nor Mr..
La Follettes, and least Of all with my
own; / am concerned only with the
welfare Of the people Of the United
States.
Under these circumstances I must
not put myself in a position which
would look as if / were seeking the
office, as If / were trying to get 1t for
my own sake | know well that this
means in all probability some one else
will be nominated and elected; for
where others actively seek the nom
ination, their friends, as is natural,
actively work for them, and give the
slilful direction and leadership with
out which even q strongly aroused
public opinion generally fails to find
expression Therefore, l have all along
felt that even if there should be
strong popular demand for me Gas to
which I can pass no judgmen0, vet
that unless this demand were literally
overwhelming it could hardly make it
self effective. But It seems to me that
il is better that it should not make
effective rather than that by any act
ion Of mine l should make it seem that
I desire the presidency for my own
sake. or am willing to accept IT lln-
less it comes to me as the result of a
real popular movement, giving express
sion ton demand that l should under

COAL PRICES ALREADY
BOOSTED IN NEW YORK.
Operators Refusal Of Miners De-
mands the Pretext.

New York. March 5.-The anthrs-
cite coal miners demands for increaa-
ed pay, recognition Of the union, a
shorter working day and other changes
were unanimously rejected this after
noon by Al operators. The operators
devoted half an hour to consideration
of the demands and adjourned sine
die after appointing a committee to
acquaint the United Mine Workers of
America with their decision This
committee was clothed with full power
to act for all the operators and will
formulate its reply at meeting next
Monday afternoon for presentation to
the miners on Wednesday. March 13.
The decisive action Of the operators
was unexpected. It was believed that
the meeting would last several hours
and that q compromise course would
be suggested. At the conclusion Of
the meeting, however, one Of the opera
tors declared that the adoption Of the
resolution would not prevent the com
mittee from making q cOunter-propo-
sition to the miners. The belief ia
growing among the operators, he add
ed, that there will be no general strike
OF the 10000 men in the Pennsylva-
mia fields affected by the decision but
the operators would rather face a gen.
eral strike than to advance wages 20
per cent. and in consequence, be COM
PEELED to increase the price of coal
None Of the miners union officers who
presented the demands of a week ago
in the city tonight and authentic news
as to their attitude was lacking.
The price Of coal went up in many
sections Of the city and its environs
during the day. Wholesale and retail
dealers were swamped with orders.
They justified the increased prices by
statements that the cost To them had
been advanced on coal for immediate
delivery and We're inclined to be pes
simistic regarding the outlook, espec-
Tally in view Of the great coal strike
in England. Bituminous coal and an
thracite steam coal We're marked IN
from fifty cents to a dollar a ton by
many dealers.

reported in revolt. The news Of Oroz-

Jesus Salgado. the Guerrero rebel,
whom Figueroa had been fighting for
many weeks, that Figueroa be retired
from Guerrero on the promise of the
other to surrender Salgado is said
to have bosated that his promise
meant nothing.
1t was semi officially admitted today
that OroZco had gone over to the en-
emy. His detection was said to be no
surprise to Madero, for the reason
that the ex-revolutionary leader on his
last visit to the capital demanded and
was refused $4,000 pesos, to make up
100000 pesos which he claimed for loss
and damage he sustained in the pre-
vious rebellion. When he returned to

ignatlon as chief of the Maderista
