About Represents the Daily Fluc tuat ons in the Chicago Strike of Freighters TEAMSTERS VTAli T TO TAKE A HAED "While Iielievers in Arlitration Ilusyr.iul Hopeful, Too, at Latest Advices. are Chicago, July 11. Business men of the city took fin active par: In attempting to settle the strike of the freight handlers yesterday, and some little progress was made. An njriTC-nieut was secured from the Frefirht Handlers union that the organization would abide by the decision of the Chicago board of arbitration, if that organization could arrange meetings with the the general managers of the railroads, and secure their consent also to arbitrate. The request for arbitration was riot submitted to the railroads until todaj There is grave doubt that th proios:tid:i will be favorably received by the railroads when it comes. IV hat the Koails Are to Do. Iut the arbitration people were optimistic It was said by a member of the Chicago board of arbitration that he had assurances that the railroads would submit a proposition today that would be satisfactory to the men. The toads will not arbitrate, but will poit in their freight bouses a statement of what they are willing to grant, and the prediction is made that the men will Und it satisfactory. View of General Managers. Ueneral Manager Ilitt, of the Kock Island, and (Jenera! Manner Uarrett, of the Alton, said that they did not see what there was to arbitrate. The general manager of another large western road said that while, he did not care to be quoted personally he was confident that no proposition for arbitration would be entertained by his road. Scheme to Secure Arbitration. The official j of the strikers, it was decided, were to be asked to agree ou an arbitration committee whose action would bo final with them. Should the strikev.3 accept the same terms were to be presented to the railroad managers. In this way, it was figured, an arbitration committee agreeable to both sides might be secured. The business men who will be present at the meeting will explain to the strikers the immense financial loss certain to follow a prolonged struggle. Hope for leu-e AVere Vain. The foregoing was the product of a wild day among the strikers. Things were mixed yesterday morning, for in some quarters it was believed that the strike was practically over, while in others the view was that it was hardly begun. The latter appears to have been correct, for, after three of the most exciting meetings known to local unionism, the freight handlers decided to reject the terms offered by the railroads and to continue their strike. Within an hour after the close of the meetings the strikers, by an appeal to the teamsters, had stopped the cartage of goods to and from nearly every freight house in the city. The teamsters acted as individuals in listening to the appeals of the strikers. By this means they hope to get around the contract made by the union at the recent strike, which prohibits "sympathy' walkouts. Teamster Had Another Plan. Later a committee of ten from the local teamsters unions decided to call a general meeting of the teamsters last night to decide whet hen or not a etrike should be declared. The plan was to trke the matter out cf the hands of the officers of the national union. A crowd of freight handlers opened the coercion campaign yesterday, when liW of them persuaded 1Ö0 wagon drivers to uuload no goods at the Chicago. Ilurlingtcn and Quincy freight house.

In rerly to a rear.et from Sheriff (.Jombert, of Carbon county, asking that troops be sent to Laasford and Summit Hill to preserve order, Governor Stone sent a tehram which said: 'Your telegram stating that strikers are gathering in large mobs at Lansford and Suumrait Hill, in Carbon county, and citizens are attacked and beaten and in danger of their lives, and that you find you are unable to preserve order and protect the citizens, and therefore must call on me for troops, received. "The law under which the National Guard is called out does not justify action under the circumstances and conditions which you recite. The NjTtior.al Guard .ire not police officers. Those conditions are entirely within your own province, and with the aid at your hand you or.ght to overcome the difficulty without the use of state troops. If there Is a condition of riot, mob or insunection which the civil authorities are unable to suppress the governor will not hesitate to send troops: but under no circumstances will he dc so unless the civil authority is exhausted after reasonable effort on the part of the sheriff and the protec tion of lif? and property demands it."

Lauer, of Lansford, represent ing a committee of Carbon county cit izens. called upon the governor and explained the situation at Lansford and Summit Hill.-- The visitors said that the burgesses of these" boroughs and the sheriff had exhausted their power in trying to preserve order, and that mob rule prevailed in both towns.

To Gcv. Taft's Proposals Relative to the Church in the Philippines. DECLINES TO EOUNOE-THE PEIAR3 Cut Will Make Changs Gradually to Suit Us Promises Help in Pacilication.. Home, July ID. The answer of the Vatican to the note of Jovornor Taft, povenior of the Philippine Islamic, concerning religious affairs in the archipelajr?, which was handed tj Cardinal Ilampolla, papal secretary of state. July Ö, was delivered to J m! ire Taft at a late hour last nijrlit. The answer of the Vatican is compiled in the order of Judjre Taft's note of July Ö. First comes the note, which says that all the studies of the Vatican were centered to render more e'ear. more precise and definite the conditions between the holy see and the Philippine government. What In Said of the Friar. The introduction proceeds in this tone until it comes to the question of the recall of the friars. It then says the Vatican cannot accept the proposition to recall the friars within the fixed period. Such recall not bein Justified by reason of force majeure it would be contrary to the rights guaranteed by the treaty of 1'aris and would put the holy see iii conflict with J Spain. It asks: "If the United States cannot order the - withdrawal of the friars, how can the pope do so. especiallywhen it has been proved that all the accusations made against them were partly false, partly exaggerated and partly inexact?" Will Try to Make Cnanjje. However, the Vatican promises that It will try. to introduce into the Fhilipplnes clergy of other nationalities, especially Americans, gradually, as they are found ready or are adapted to the purpose. The note agrees that the friars shall not return to the parishes they left and where their presence could provoke trouble. The note ends by saying that the pope is willing that the school question hi the Philippines be not insisted on nov, but that hi: holiness hopes his representative In Manila may have on understanding with Judge Taft on this point, which is of capita Importance in a country almost exclusively Catholic VATICAN'S I OKA OF A CONTRACT Twelve Articles Providing for the Sale of the Clnircli I. ami.. The Vatican's answer to Judge Taft follows: The contract which the Vatican proposes shall be signed by both parties comprises twelve articles. The first j.rticle says the Philippine government is to buy the lands of the four religious orders concerned, the holy see acting as intermediary. The second describes what are the agricultural lands to be bought. The third says that if some of these lands are possessed by coriorations the friars shall sell their shaie. The fourth establishes a tribunal of arbiters to be composed of live members, two of whom are to be chosen by the Vatican, two by the Philippine government, and the fifth member b; the other four. In case of disagreement as to the fifth member he shall be ciufeen, in common accord, by the pope and President Roosevelt. Fifth, work of the arbiters to begin Jan. 1, llXtt. Sixth, refers to title deeds to be transferred to the Philippine, government. Seventh, payment to be made In Mexican dollars in the period of time proposed by Judge Taft, interest during the period of payment accruing at 4 per cent Eighth, deals with the transfer to the church of .ancient crown lauds with ecclesiastical buildings on them. Ninth, proposes amicable accord in the matter of existing charitable or educational trusts which are In dispuat, in the event of failure to be sent to the same arbiters. Tenth, provides for arbitration as to the Indemnity the United State shall pay for the ecclesi astical buildings used during the war in the Philippines. Eleventh, expenses cf the tribunal of arbiters to be paid by the Fhilippine government. Article twelve declares that the holy see, in the sphere of action which is in its competence, shall use all its influence for the pacification of the Philippine islands and In favor cf their adhesion to the established government, and that it shall prevent all political opposition on the part of the clergy, both. regular and secular.

To satisfy his curiosity as to the depth of the water in a well, John Clubbs attempted to explore its depths. When within seven feet of the bottom he was overcome with gas, and, losing his strength, fell to the bottom. For fortytive minutes Cluhbs struggled to keep his head from sinking under the water. Finally, every one finding it impossible to rescue him, the fire department was called. Four men descended into the well, and th gas was so strong tha tthey were forced to turn back. Edward Floyd, a fireman, finally Tolunteered to go down after Clubbs. Around his w.Vst was bound a rope, and when the -Leu pulled It up both the rescuer and the rescued were unconscious. Before being overcome by the gas Floyd had time to wrap the rope around Clubbs. He was soon resuscitated. Ciubbs is in a serious condition and his recovery is doubtful. They Retain Their Dignity.

It can be stated that of the HM mm supposed to have entered the mouth of the Holling Mill mine Thursday ninety are known to be dead and twenty-two levelled. Four lunula d escaped, leaving eighty-eight still to be accouutid fcr. Some of these are alive, but the rorjority is believed to have been kill-d. There are said to he at least fifty-two bodies yet in the mine, making the total death roll 142. Johnstown. Pa., July 11. Yesicrday was a day of heroic rescues at tie fated Holling Mill mine of the Cambria Steel company. Thrilling experiences attended the elicits of the forty brave and daring fellows who went down Into the bowels of the earth with a very faint hope to spur thorn that still they might be in time to restore to life some of those who are entombed. Death lurked everywhere around them, but undnunted they went forward, swayed with the noblest of human purposes. The reward of their efforts Avas the saving of the lives of fourteen of their fellow men. Dead and mutilated bobdies were looattd, but no effort was made to bring them out of the vast theater of death until It was certain that nothing except dead were in the mine. Eighty-Seven Dead IJrouijlit I" p. Fighty-seven dead bodies were recovered from the mine between daylight and nightfall. Still a party of oliicials and miners battled on, three? miles inside the mine. Occasionally word would come to the surface by some mysterious means that another heap of remains had been found. There remain dangerous h.aelings In the Klondike section of the mine yet to be explored. No one knows how many more elead bodies will Ik found theie. The mine officials refrain from piioss work on the subject. The impression Priwalls among the outsiders and ccrtain employes of the mine that O is a low estimate of the casualty list. Work of Itfscue Wan Difficult. It is difficult to picture with any degree approaching its full worth the work ef rescue and the attending scenes and incidents of the day how brave men went into the jaws of death In its most horrible form, encountered their fellows transformed into raving maniacs by hours of waiting in the pitch elarkness. lifted them moaning from their beds of fallen rock, and then, beneling aril crawling on all fours, carrieel them a quarter of a mile underground to where cars could be reached to take them outside. STARTLED 1IY MANIAC LAUGHS Where the First Living Victim Was Found How They Saved Themselves. It was in Xo. 4 left heading that the first life was found. The rescuers here were suddenly startled by maniacal laughs which emanated from a slackened form that rusht-d at them out of the darkness. The man grasped firmly n pick handle and tried in hi frenzy to beat down Lis rescuers. He was overpowered and drajrged back to the main heading to the cars. Thirteen other living men were found in this chamber, sind physicians were quickly taken to the spot. At 3 p. m. eight of them were at the surface and half an hour later the other six were also outside, but one died Just as he reached sunlight. At that time three more headings believed to be lifkd with the dead were nnsearched. Thirty-nine bodies were lying within reach of the main heading. These were brought out at 4:."r p. m. The bodies were piled hijih in the coal cars ami covered with canvas. These remains were in a terrible state, showing that there had bon slow death in each case. One of the men Jind his mouth and nose tied about by n towel. The rest of Ids face was burned beyond recognition. The bodies of all were twisted in horrible shapes. mot of the arms being crooked so as to shield the face. The only one who could be identified at the pit mouth wa Fire Iloss Joseph Tomlin011. - One of the volunteer rescuers who came out with this load of dead stated that tire was raging in parts of the mine that would take some time to quell. Most of those who were brought rut niive had saved themselves by crawling into a chamber and turning a valve on the compressed air pipe line which runs along the entry. One man was foun dead with his hands clutched so 'tightly about a monkey wrench that it could not be removed. TOTAL KNOWN DEAD XINETT. Names of Some of Tliem, and of Tart of Thoae Rescued Alive. At this writing the number of known dead is ninety: number of injured in hospitals, eighteen; number of injured who were able to go home, four.

Kahler, Vichi Kahler, Georpe Salla, Albert Shepa and John Kanviskic. At the conclusion of the day's work Mine Superintendent Robinson was asked what the plans were for continuing the work of fretting out t?l of the bodies. He said: "We will work night and day and will not stop so long as there is a single body in the mine. The fact that the fire damp is all out of the mine now will facilitate the wJtk." Uotinson added: "The disaster waa not due to any special amount of pas in the mine. That is shown by the little damage done to the property. The explosion seems to have produced r.n unusual amount of fire damp that I cannot account for. There is not a mine car in the workings that is damaged or broken. Usually in such an accident as this cars are wrecked and burned. The mules used for moving the cars from the different rooms to the leads were all dead." Robinson would not discuss the presence of gas In the mine, beyond saying that it was never considered sufficient to give alarm. The company had five fire bosses and one assistant employed continually, and had taken tfvery precaution to prevent disaster.

lie had never heard "any of the men express fear cf accident, and clid not think statements to t lie co itrary were reliable or correctly reported. State Mine Inspector Evans is also puzzled at so slight an explosion proving so deadly. He says the damage to the mine i.5 not more than 25.

. Miserable Mothers. CHILDREN EODDED OF THEIR BIRTHRIGHT.

The most serious thing in life is maternity. The child who inherits weakness is handicapped for life in the struggle for existence. The weak and sickly mother surely devctes her offspring to misery and misfortune. The romantic idea of marriage is based on love and love elone. The scientific idea of marriage demands sound health as a bssis of matrimony. The utter helplessness of love is written in a thousand experiences of young motherhood. The child, the mother would die for, cries in her arms, and she is too weak and worn to comfort it. She can do naught but weep in sympathy.' As surely as the most serious thing in life is maternity so the most necessary thing for the prospective mother is preparation. For preparation is possible. There is, in general, no need for the weakness and weariness so often associted with maternity. There is no need for the nervous anxiety, the prolonged birth pangs, and after enervation, so commonly experienced by mothers. In this day, even women understand the training necessary for athletic exercise. They know that to successfully sustain the strain of outdoor sports they must prepare themselves by training. And yet the average woman will lace the great strain of maternity without the slightest preparation for the extraordinary event oefore her. Nerves, muscles are ail to be submitted to an extraordinary strain and yet there is no attempt to fit them for the ordeal. PROPER PREPARATION. The fact needs to be impressed on every woman that she can prepare for .the strain of motherhood as she can prepare for any other extraordinary demand to be made upon the vital forces. The nature of this preparation is well set forth in the following letter : WI take pleasure m informing you of the birth of a boy in perfect health, on May iSth, 1S99," writes Mrs. L. E. Corti, of Waltonville, Pa., Box 25. "I cannot find words sufficiently strong to express to you my thanks, for the baby's coming was almost without pain, and when mf husband arrived with the doctor the chilä was already born.
