STRIKE IS TO GO ON.

MORGAN DECIDES FIGHT MUST BE TO A FINISH. Declines Flatly to Interfere in the Labor War—lmportant Conference la Held to Discuss the Campaign—Operators Confident of Resuming Work. No new plans for arbitrating the coal strike, no matter by whom they are inspired, will be considered by the operators, and no influence that President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers can bring to bear on them will change their IKisition one iota. Such was the conclusion reached late Tuesday by the presidents of the anthracite coal carrying companies in conference in New York. It was also stated officially that J. Pierpont Morgan i will not take any hand in the dispute. At noon, which was three hours before the conference began. President Baer of the Philadelphia and Rending Railroad, who came from Philadelphia early in the day, called at Mr. Morgan’s office and had a talk with Him. There were present also when the talk was going on Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern Railway; 11. MeK. Twombly. Mr. Stotesbury and George AV. Perkins. Mr. Baer hurried away as soon ns he left Mr. Morgan’s office. Later Samuel Sloan, chairman of the board of directors of the Delaware, Lackawanna and’’’ Western

J. PIERPONT MORGAN.

Railroad, called and had a conference with Mr. Morgan. All this was considered significant, although at Mr. Morgan’s office it was stated that the visits had no particular importance. The meeting of the coal presidents was held in a private room in the Delnionico building, where President Fowler of the New York. Ontario and Western Railroad gave a luncheon to the other presidents. The conference took place during luncheon, and while it was not largely attended it was in many respects the most important held by the representatives of the coal roads since the strike began. There were present, besides .1. W. Fowler, President Baer, President Underwood of lhe Erie Railroad and President Truesdale of the Lackaw uma Railroad. The situation at the mining districts wns discussed for two hours, during which time reports from tbo mines were considered. The reports showed that men were applying for work in increasing numbers, but that a break in the strike had not occurred yet. No time, it was stated, was fixed for opening the collieries. but the question as to the preparing the mines for reopening was considered fully. Will Recognize No Interference. President Baer was seen when the conference was over and made the following statement: ‘‘The operators are a unit in standing by their original position. The situation at the mines is improving daily. A fewmore men are applying to be taken back every day, but when the work will be actually resumed I will not undertake to say. I will say, however, that no interference by any outside parties, no matter

PRESIDENT JOHN MITCHELL.

how highly we may esteem the parties themselves, will have any effect. The matter at issue can only be settled between the operators and t'ha.upners.” A general statement regarding Mr. Morgan’s attitude was made on behalf of the operators, to the following effect: “Mr. Morgan knew the exact situation while he was in Europe just ns if he hnd been here. He was in touch with everything that transpired, and could have interfered in the dispute while he was abroad just as easily ns when ho returned. ’ His return does uot change the situation. There is no reason why he should interfere now any more than at any time during the strike, and he does not mean to interfere.” Before Mr. Baer left town he called at Mr. Morgan’s office again and, it n as believed, gave him an outline of what took place during the conference of the coal president*. E lituates of the corn crop for 1002, based on tlie government figures, place the amount at 2.580,000,000 bushels. If this crop be finally secured, following a crop of only 1,522,000,000 bushels last year, railroad earnings in the West the coming year are likely to show oven larger increases than were shown in the lust fear.

CHICAGO’S TAX SCANDAL.

Startling Exposures in Connection with the Masonic Temple Case. The farmer is supposed to be an easy victim for swindlers. City men are wont to laugh at the apparent ease with which gold-brick men, padlock experts, and three-card monte manipulators swindle their country cousins. But occasionally things transpire which tend to the conclusion that the city man is no brighter than the farmer. The exposures in connection with the Chicago Masonic Temple tax case have undoubtedly given the rural population many a quiet chuckle. According to report; many shrewd, though unscrupulous, business men of Chicago listened with bated breath to the plausible but impossible plan by which taxes could be reduced—for a consideration to be paid the tax fixer. Impressed by certain simple the tax fixers gave of their professed ability "to deliver the goods,” the business men handed over large sums of good money to the confidence men. In return they got nothing of value—nothing even as substantial as the_gold-tinted brass brick which has tempted so many farmers to part with their eash. Many thousands of dollars were taken in by means of this tax swindle, and a Chicago paper asserts that if the list of victims could be published many familiar names would be found. And the city men are left without the hope of possible revenge l . The farmer, if he can but swallow his pride can arouse the country side and make it warm for the men who have swindled him. But the Chicago men in question dare make no complaint, for they themselves became parties to a crime when they agreed to have their taxes ’’fixed.” The 1 first warrant in the tax-fixing scandal arising from the discovery of a forged receipt for $26,770.17 for the Masonic Temple taxes was issued Tuesday. It was sworn out by representatives of the State’s Attorney’s office, and charges Luke Wheeler with being a fugitive from justice. Detectives believe Wheeler is not in or near Chicago, and they say that it is probable the fugitive is amply supplied with money and perhaps aided in escaping the officers by powerful interests, as were Coughlin and Armstrong in the jury bribing case of two years ago.

TOURS NEW ENGLAND.

PRESIDENT ROOSt-VELT VISITS MANY CITIES. Hearty Receptions Accorded to the Nation’s Executive Speaks About Trusts—Says Organization ia Good* but Advocates Publicity. President Roosevelt closed his second day s journey through New England at Newport. R. 1.. where he was the guest of Mr. Winthrop (’hauler. Upon the conclusion <>f his speech at City Hall, Providence, he was driven to the dock, ■where he hoarded a private yacht for the residence of Senator Aldrich nt Warwick. Newport was reached soon after. Perhaps the most enthusiastic reception accorded him by the smaller places where stops were made was at River Point, R. 1., in the Pawtucket valley. Pastime Park, which adjoins the railroad, track, was thronged with people, among them being hundreds of Grand Army veterans who formed a semi-circle in front of the fffiitform. The President's audience applauded his tribute to the veterans of the Civil War for their unswerving valor and devotion to duty, and his reference to the people of Rhode Island concerning the utilization of their resources met much distinct favor. The demonstration at Providence was the climax to an eventful day. In his speech, taking the trusts for his theme, the President said that great general prosperity fostered unwholesome coffilltions, as jvell as healthy. The sunshine and rain that make the crops thrive, also' give life to weeds. In part he said: “In dealing with the great aggregations of capital we must exercise all our judgment and avoid the spirit of envy that fills the souls of those who have failed to win fortune, and eager to tear down those budded by the industry and wisdom of others. We must possess the qualities of prudence, self-knowledge and self restraint.*’ There is every need of striving in all possible ways, individually and collectively, by combination among ourselves in private life and through the recognized organs of the government for the cutting out of tiiese evils. Only let us be sure that we do not use the knife with an ignorant zeal which would make it more dangerous to the patient man than to the disease. “Much of the complaint against combinations is unwarranted. Under present conditions it is as necessary to have corporations in tlie business world as it is to have organizations among wage workers. But we have a right to ask in each case that they shall do good and not harm. Exactly as labor organizations, when managed intelligently and in a spirit of justice and fair play, are of very great service, not only to the wage workers, but to the whole community, as the his.ory of many labor organizations has conclusively shown; so wealth, not merely individual, but corporate, when used aright, is not merely beneficial to the community as a whole, but indispensable to the upbuilding of the country under the conditions which at present the country has grown not only to accept, but to demand as normal. “The only remedy is found in the proper administration of the laws wo have and the enactment of other laws to deal with new conditions as they arise. The power vested in the proper official must be exercised with the greatest of care. The first exercise of that power should be the securing an interstate business. The publicity, though non-inquisitorial. should be thorough as to all important facts with which the public has concern. The full light of day is a great discourager of evil. Such publicity would by itself tend to cure the evils of which there is just complaint and where the alleged evils are imaginary, it would tend to show that such was the case. When publicity is attained it would then be possible to see what further should be done in the way of regulation.” President Roosevelt ended Tuesday’s tour through New England in Augusta, Mo., as the guest of Gov. Hill. Before his departure from Maine he visited every principal city in each district and the home cities of the United States Senators. When the President reached Portland he was met by a delegation of citizens, and Thomas B. Reed was among them.

NEW PHILIPPINE COINS.

Successful Design Wns Submitted by a Native of the Islands. Designs have been approved for the new subsidiary coins to be put into circulation in the Philippines. The designs are the work of a Filipino artist named Figueroa. On the obverse side of the coin appears a female figure in flowing robes, with hair streaming t,o her shoulders. Her left hand reposes on her bosom, while her right holds a hammer, which rests ti|s>n an anvil. In the rear appears a smoking volcano, a representation of the Mayou volcano in Luzon. Above this

design appears the denomination of the coin and below the word "Pilipinas." On the reverse is a simple American shield, bearing the Stars and Stripes with an eagle iierehed alwive tlie words "United States of America," and the date. The dies will be cut Ht the Philadelphia mint, but the coins will be struck at the old Spanish mint in Manila. The cnins will range from ten to fifty cents in silver and one and a half to live cents in copper, A ship load of Russian wheat was imported last fall by Kansas millers and wheat growers. About fifty bushels of it found its way to Harper County. It cost $2.50 per bushel. J, 11. Hoopes sowed three and n half bushels nnd threshed forty bushels from it a. few days ago. Alsiut 10 per cent of the amount was rye and the balance was a mixture of two kinds of soft wheat. Of the twenty-eight plants of the American Tin Plate Company, operating 274 mills, fifteen plants, with a capacity of 129 mills, have been dosed indefinitely.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF CROPS.

Weather Conditions East of the Rockies Not Favorable as a Whole. The Agricultural Department’s weekly summary of crop conditions says Jhat as a whole the weather conditions east of the Rocky Mountains have not been favorable, being too cool iji tire northern districts eastward of the Missouri valley, with too much moisture in portions of the central valleys, while excessively hot in the Southern States, with drouth of greater or less severity generally throughout the cotton belt. Although cool, the conditions were fairly favorable for maturing crops in the Ohio valley and over the southern portion of the middle Atlantic States, as well as on the Pacific coast. Corn is greatly in need of warm, dry weather throughout the northern portion of the corn belt, where the abnormally cool weather of the last two weeks has greatly retarded its maturity. Over the southern portion of the corn belt an excellent crop of early corn is now practically assured. In portions of lowa and central Illinois corn has badly lodged as a result of local storms. Spring wheat harvest is unfinished in the northern portion of the Red River valley, where it has been interrupted byfrequent showers, which also have seriously interfered with stacking and thrashing. Sprouting and rotting in stack and shock are reported from lowa, and iu southern Minnesota thrashed wheat is damp and discolored. Harvest is about three-fourths finished in Oregon and will be completed in Washington during the present week, with yields alsint the average, though less than expected in Washington. A decided deterioration in the condition of cotton is reported generally throughout tlie central and western portions of the cotton belt, as well as over a large part of the eastern districts. Th- most favorable reports are from the Carolinas. In North Carolina the condition of 'he crop continues very promising, although the prevalence of rust is widespread. On stiff soils in South Carolina new growth is blooming and fruiting, but on sandy soils rust, -shedding and premature opening are prevalent. Throughout the central and western districts, with the exception of northern Mississippi and portions of Oklahoma and Indian territory, where the crop is doing well, the reports indicate a decided decline in its condition, rust, shedding and premature opening being general. In Texas the deterioration has been pronounced, and under the most favorable future weather conditions a yield ia excess of the average is improbable. The week has been very favorable for cutting ami curing tobacco and the crop has generally improved, although it will be short in Kentucky ami portions of Tennessee, Virginia and Maryland. The outlook for apples in New York is more favorable and slightly improved prospects are reported from Ohio and northern Illinois. A good crop is indicated in Kansas, Michigan and New England and a fair crop of some varieties in lowa and portions of Missouri. In many important apple States, however, a light crop is promised. It has been too dry for favorable progress with plowing for fall seeding in portions of the middle Atlantic States, the lake region and Oklahoma: elsewhere the reports indicate that this work has made favorable advancement.

WEDS ROOSEVELT’S COUSIN

Grant’s Granddaughter Married to a Relative of the President. The marriage of the twice previously engaged Vivian Sartoris, only daughter of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, to Frederick Roosevelt Seovel, a cousin of President Roosevelt, took place at Cobourg,’ Ont., the other day. She is a granddaughter of President Grant and he is the son of Chevalier and Mme. Edward Seovel. Miss Sartoris is 23, and has been out, socially, four seasons. She was engaged first to Archibald Balfour, cousin of England's premier. They were to have been married July 11. 1901 but on June 22 the engagement was broken. Next she was reported engaged to Timothy Nichols, a wealthy New York .club man, but this also came to naught. She is tall, graceful, with regular features, dark hair and eyes, and has had numberless admirers. The marriage of her mother, Nellie Grant, was the crowning event of one of the most brilliant social seasons the national capital has ever seen.

The Comic Side of The News

Everything lias been washed away in Texas except the big Democratic ma jority. Judge Jackson has an impression that the walking delegate ought to keep off the earth. The man who predicted a wet summer cannot be blannsl for walking about a trifle "chesty.” Western States will have to do something at once to discourage the amateur Tracy industry. Any inhabitants of Hayti who love quiet doubtless wish that Uncle Sam would drop around and assimilate the island. lowa is the first State to come to the front with a heavy frost. What was Kansas thinking of to let itself be beaten that way? It is strange the Bulgarians do not insist that the brigand who abducted Miss Stone be made secretary of the treasury instead of premier. Throe robbers dressisl ns policemen held up a in in on the North Side ami took his money away. They acted so natural that the victim really thought they were policemen. King Edward will believe all they told him about being a real king until he at* tempts t>> do a little governing independent of his ministers. Perhaps the striking electricians at the White House thought it best to adjust their differences before the President handed them a live wire. The American Smelting nnd Refining Coruyai y lias closed the Philadelphia ismelter at Pueblo, Colo. The reasons •given are a shortage of ore and the fact that a new mnelter has just been started at Murray, Utah.
