. - : : - , ,. - THE COAL STRIKE FINALLY SETTLED. Common Qroaod of Afreement Reached by Operators and Miners Work to Be Resamed at Once. By Telegraph to the m oralng BtaY , '. -Washington, Oct. 18. The strike la settled. Secretary Boot announced at 1 o'clock that a common ground of agreement had been 1 reached. The President has named a commission of ix persons to settle the strike. The first sign of a breakup of the conference was at 13:65, when Secre tary Oortelyou came from the confer ence room and announced to the wait ing newspaper men that an official statement on the strike situation would be made ! publio in about a half hour. : Shortly after 1 o'clock Secretary Root came out laughing and happy and spread the glad tidings that common ground of agreement between the operators and the miners had been reached and that the strike was practically ended. It was learned a few moment later that the chief feature of the agreement was the addition of a sixth member to the arbitration commission, the surmise following as a matter of course that the additional member would be more particularly a repre sentative of labor. It was said at the same time that now an agreement had been arrived at as to the means of determining the differences that the President would insist on an immediate resumption of work at the mines and that he had reason to expect his advice would be followed very promptly. Messrs. Bacon and Perkins, partners in Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan's banking firm, were present at the final conference as the representatives of the operators. When the gathering broke up, all present were in good humor and there was a general exchange of congratulations. The President has appointed the members of the commission to inquire into, consider and pass upon all ques tions at issue' between the operators and miners in the anthracite coal fields as follows: Brigadier General John M. Wilson, United States Army i retired, (late chief of engineers, U.S. A.) Mr. K. W. Parker, Washington, -D. C, as an expert mining engineer. Mr. Parker is chief statistician of the coal division of the United States geologi cal survey. Hon. George Gray. Wilmington. Del., as a judge of a United Statea court. Mr. E. E.

Bishop John L. Bpaulding, or Peo ria, 111. lion. Carroll D. Wright has been appointea recorder ol the commission. President Mitchell. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct 15. Presi dent Mitcneil arrived here from Wash ington st 1:35 this morning. The As sociated Press bulletins of the outcome of the Washington con ference that the strike was set tled were read to him while he was surrounded by a small army of newspaper men. He was im mediately congratulated and in reply for a statement, he said: "Your congratulations should be withheld until we see who the six rep resentatives on the commission are. I understood before I left Washington that there would be a sixth man and that he would represent labor. The whole matter will be placed before the joint meeting of the three executive boards of the anthracite region at their meeting at 10 o'clock this morn- in?. I will wait up to see the full statement Issued by Mr. Cortelyou." Ia reply to the question if he would comply with the President's request that coal mining be resumed imme diately, he said he would make a more d-a.iite answer when be knew more ab'jjt the matter.

Principal Obstacle Is the Composition of the Proposed Commlssloa-The Presi dent Seeking to Secure Farther Concessions of Operators. By Teiegrapn to tne Horning Star. Washington, October 15. The prolonged anthracite coal strike is not yet practically settled, but some pro gress was made to-day, and while there remain certain obstacles to be removed, these, in. the lansruasre of Secretary Boot, it Is believed, can be roam you ma termination ol tne strike finally secured. The principal of these obstacles is the composition of the nronosed comm nlnn m hni in arbitrate the differences between the miners and operators. Mr. Mitchell indicated formally to-day to President Roosevelt that the Mine Workers' Union dissents from the restrictions placed by the operators : on the choice of the nronosed arbitration lrlhnn.1 anH desires the President to have an ab solutely free hand in the selection of memoera or tne commission to be charged with an adjustment of future relations between tbe employers and employed. He laid special stress in siating his objections to the proposition that one of the commission should be a judge from the eastern district of Pennsvlvania. He wu vrw in Blatant in some of his objections, which be voiceu in wnat mignt be termed a counter proposition to that of tbe operators. A Miners Meeting. After the President and the head of the miners' anion had .exchanged viewa freely and gone over tths counter proposition of Mr. tMitch ell's, a call was sen$ out by Presi dent Mitchell for a joint meeting to-morrow of the executive "boards of the Mine Workers' Union for the three anthracite districts of Pennsyl vania. At this meeting it is believed an agreement will be reached on a statement to be officially promulgated oy tne miners' union in response to the proposition from the operators. .resident Koosevelt having ascer tained the views of Mr. Mitchell, at once communicated with the oper ators and initiated efforts to reconcile the differences developed and to have the operators make some further con cessions, his aim being by mutual concessions to reach a common ac cord between miners and ' operators whereby tne labor dispute may be finally composed and mining of coal resumed. Expecfod Conferences. The progress made to-day was ac complished by means chiefly of two extended conferences between Presi dent Roosevelt and John Mitchell, the president of the United Mine Workers or America. At the conclusion of the conferences Mr. Mitchell said that he had no infor mation which he could give to the pub lic. It was announced, likewise, at the temporary White House, that no offi cial atatement of the conferences would be made at this time. When the last conference had been concluded, Mr. Mitchell left the White House, and alter a brier conference with President Sam'l Gompers departed for Wilkesbarre, Pa. Mr. Mitchell's visit to Washington was by invitation of President Roosevelt, who asked him to come to Washington in order that they might discuss the terms of the propositions submitted to the Presi dent last Monday night by the anthra cite coal railroad presidents. While all persons having knowledge of the details of the conference are ex tremely reticent, enough is known to justify the statement that wnlle tney did not accomplish a settlement of the strike they at the same time were not barren or tangible results. A Counter Proposition. At the conclusion of the first confer ence Mr. Mitchell walked over to the Treasury Department, where for two hours he remained closeted with Frank P. Sargent, commissioner of immigra tion, in the latter's office. It is be lieved that at the conclusion of this conference Mr. Mitchell had formu lated a statement akin to a counter proposition to that made by tbe opera tor. This be later presented to tne President, come directly from Mr. Sargent's office to the White House at 3 o'clock for tbat purpose.

"ow "ffl,nto0 U8m bj m Be, WttMnraTOir. Oct. 14. 1902 To Editor Star. Deab Bib I have so many reports rom the different farmers, as they come into mv store, relative tr'th a tobacco crop of Eastern North Cam lna that I would thank you for space n your paper to relate a nortion of m. conversation I had with a aentleman rom Maple Hill this afternoon. I hink the srreat anantitv nf tohain sold this year In Goldsboro, Kinston and New Bern has done our city harm thia aeasor. - One of my regular cus tomers, Mr. A. E. Burton, or Maple Hill, Pender county, sars his neigh bors have all traded at Wilming ton, as this was their nearest market, but this year they have done their Fall shopping at Kinston. He said they not onlv carried their tt. bacco to Kinston, but took with them their hams, eggs, chickens and all manner of produce to sell in tbat mar ket and brought back in their.carts and wagons merchandise . of every class from the Kinston stores. H came here in a cart to-day and stopped at the regular cart house as usual He said last night there were but two carts in the house, while last year there was naroiy room enough. The man ager of the cart house sava he is hardl getting enough from it to pay hia rent this year. Mr. Burton savs heretofore the far. mera through hia section have harelv made a suooort on the nnnrund anil This yesr those who raised tohancri sold on the average over $100 per acre. Next year they will plant twice as much as they did this year, and Wii mingtoa will get every dollar of it if we otter them the same inducements as to market as other placea do. Wil mington beine nearer and poods mnh cheaper here, they would prefer this a meir marxet. I then asked him if he thought the farmers in his section would take stock in our warehouses. He said he would and thousrht all hia neighbors probably would. With their experience and success with tobacco this year in other markets he said Wilmington would permanently lose their trade unless we could give them a market for tobacco equal to other places. On his way here he travelled 15 miles on the main road to Kinston and while he did not like to exaggerate he thought he could truthfully sav he saw 150 carta and wagons loaded with tooacco and other produce on their way to Kinston and he said those peo ple all lived nearer Wilmington than he did. His home is 41 miles from Wilmington. Having heard so much from the farmers and traveling salesmen about the great boom the tobacco business has given other towns, I am more than ever anxious that Wilmington would wake up and realize what it is losing. I believe that I am prepared to say that we can safely promise every farmer who reads the Stab that our city will be in a position to take care of their tobacco crop better than any new market ever started. I think in. a few days I may have the pleasure of fully describing to your readers the first step taken as to establishing our warehouse, the loca tion and dimensions. But I will prom ise now and stake my business reputa tion as a guarantee to the farmer that we will have warehouses here, also stemmeries and prizeries and plenty of stables and sleeping room by next season. We want the farmers to build their barns for curing their tobacco now, to prepare their plant beda for the seed by gathering to gether a goodly amount of dry wood and thrash, to burn it off on the spot where they intend to have their seed bed. I am in hones that tbe Chamber of Commerce of our city will see fit to f urnuh all the farmers with seed. One tablespoonful of tobacco seed contains eighty thousand. It should be planted on a bed 20x20 feet square, which will produce plants enough to set out four acres. We will soon be in position to furnish booklets on the planting and raising of tobacco, and also on the proper way of curing it. One gentleman living on Top Sail Sound says tobacco has been a great success in his neighborhood, and that he intends to plant next year at least fifty acres. Similar reports come in from everywhere. Mr. W. E. Worth and I, after visit ing the. other towns and seeing their success, will not be satisfied in tbe way of warehouses, prize houses and stemmeries with anything but tbe best, with all the modern appoint ments. We will build two warehouses now and more as the trade increases. Let us revolutionize this county and city. Where land was not worth $5 an acre before tobacco was introduced, it is now producing $100 in one year'a crop. What might not this great east ern section, with its thousands of acres of the best tobacco producing land on the i?lobe. dot Plant tobacco, farmers, and we will build warehouses. We will ao away with the ox and cart and all will ride in buggies. We will send our chil dren to school, and we will become a prosperous and enterprising commu nity. Yours for the tobacco warehouses.

WE FIGHTING IN VENEZUELA. I The Battle Began Monday With the Advance Guard of the Revolutionists. ODDS ARE AGAINST CASTRO. Both Sides Heavily Reinforced Fifhtias Resumed Tuesdsy and Continued on WednesdsyThe Revolationary '. Army Numbers 1,000 Men. By Telegraphto tneMornuuc Btar. Washington, Oct. 15 United States Minister Bo wen, at Caracas, has cabled the State Department, asking that one or perhaps two more warships be sent to reinforce the gunboat Mari etta, at LaGuayra, in view of the S resent 1 critical situation - wmcn as arisen at the Venezuelan capital. Some time ago when President Cas tro leit bis capital, Minister Bowen expressed to the State Department his fears that an occupation of the capital by the revolutionary forces would re sult in rioting and pillage, and. be at tended with great danger to unpro tected foreigners. Such a Situation it is inferred here ia again imminent. It is probable tbat either the Panther, now at Colon, or the Cincinnati, in Haytien waters, will be ordered from her present station and sent to the Venezuelan capital. The following cablegram received at the State Department this morning from Minister Bo wen, dated last mget at Caracas, shows the critical condition of affairs in the field: "The army is still near Valencia. No particulars obtainable. Valencia closely surround ed and battle going on now." ueneral Matos. leader of the revolu tion-, and General Mendoza were not present. The only rebel generals en gaged were : Guevara, Torre?, Crespo and Antonio Fernandez, who had with them about 8,100 men, representing the advance guard of the revolution ist?. - President Castro twice led a charge n person and showed great courage and coolness. ' His lieutenant, General Alcantara, who was at one time at the West Point military academy, was mor tally wounded. The arrival at the scene of battle at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon of Vice President Gomez and eight hundred men, with a large amount of ammuni tion saved the situation for the gov ernment. - At that time the odds were argely against President CastrO but the arrival of reinforcements improved his position. Monday night the reyo- utionlsts still retained their positions. The fighting started again Tuesday and at 10 o'clock in the morning Cas tro retired to La Victoria. At 1 o'clock the fighting ceased on both sides. News of the engagement having reached Generals Matos and Mendoss, they hastened to the scene and arrived at a point near La Victoria yesterday with the rest of the revolutionary army, which now numbers - about 8,000 men. The reinforcements under Matos and Mendosa intended to take part in tbe renewal of hostilities to day. President Castro appears to be sur rounded by his enemies. , The town of El Conseio, which lies back of La- Victoria, is occupied by the revolu tionists. Valencia is believed to be doomed. The town waa attacked by General Riera on Monday and Tuesday. Those wbo were wounded in tbe lighting are atill without medical assistance or care. - They lie on the battleneid as they fell and the scene there is one of great-horror. - Willemstad Oct. 15. News has reached here that the battle near La Victoria, Venezuela, between the forces of President Castro and the Venezalan revolutionist?, which be gan Monday morning, haa so far been without dehmte result. Only a por tion of the revolutionists was engag ed. The government cannot obtain reinforcements from Caracas, as the railroad from there to Valencia is in the hands of the enemy. The fighting was resumed yesterday. MOLIBEUX'S SECOND TRIAL. Por tbe Murder In New York City of Mrs. Kstherine J. Adams. Bt Telegraph to the Moraine Btar. New Yobk, Oct. 15.

Feelleg la 'Administration Circles Thst ' Mr. Mitchell Is Too Stiff la His Position and Too Insistent. , tn Telegraph to the Horning Bttr. WAsanroTOV, Oct. 15. Presideat Roosevelt to-night resumed considera tion of the strike altuation, taken it up in the light developed as the result of his two conferences during athe dsy with Mr. MitchelL President of the Mine Workers Union. He went oat for a long drive after those conferences and on . returning met Carroll D. Wright, - commissioner of labor, and Mr. Sargenf, commissioner of immi gration. Later, two men, strangers to those about - the temporary White House, called and were shown up stairs at once. It was reported tbat these gentlemen were Robert Bacon and George W. Perkins, members of the banking firm of J. P. Morgan & Company. The conferences with the gentlemen named lasted from 7 to 8 o'clock, when the President went to Secretary Hay's for dinner: About 10 o'clock f resident Koose velt entered the White House, accom panied by. Secretary Root, and tbey immediately re-embarked on consid eration of the settlement of the coal strike. Later a stranger called an swering the description of one of Mr. Morgan's partners. xA-t 11:30 o'clock the three gentlemen were still engaged in a discussion of the situation. The statements made by Mr. Mitchell were canvassed. While nothing was made publio the feeling seems to prevail in administration quarters close to the President tbat Mr: Mitchell is too stiff in his position and too insistent, and that matters have been ao shaped that he should accept the concessions that are open to him. AX 12-30 o'clock the White House conference was still progressing Ap parently there is a purpose to clear up differences as far as practicable atid bring about the speediest possible so lution of tbe strike. Winston Sentinel: News is Lreceived here that Mr. Isaac Hobson, wbo was employed at the steam dis tillery of Carrol Davis, at Conrad;?, Yadkin county, was fatally scalded on Friday. He died on Saturday. It is learned tbat Hobson went to shut off the steam when the stil burst, throw ing the boiling water all over him. He suffered intense pain and was in great agony until he died. . A Fireman's Close Call. - "I stuck to mv engine, although L every joint ' ached and every nerve was racxea wiw pain, writes kj. w.

After the labors and toils of the sum mer time, and, harvesting of crops in the early autumr, many of oar farm ers, their wives, daughters, and son, find themselves In a condition of health demanding careful attention if auflter Ing is to be avoided later on. Many experience kidney trouble in some form; with some the liver is tornid: there is biliousnesr, nausea and vomit ing, with loss of appetite and depres sion of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in the harvest fields, now reel tne twinges or tembie rheu matism; others' ran down by worry, overwork and irregular dieting are tormented with the pangs of dyspepSia. To the thousan s of rundown, sickly and half dead men and women in farm homes we recommend with all honesty and confidence the worker's friend, Paine's Celery Compound, the only medicine that can quickly and fully restore strength to tbe weak body and vigor to the muscles. . Paine's Celery Compound tones the stomach; it re moves poisonous acids from tbe blood which caute rheumatism; it feeds the weak and diseased nerves and banishes neuralgic tortures; it purifies the blood and gives true vitality and life. The use of Paine's Celery Compound in autumn means -the establishing of a perfect physical vigor to withstand the rigors or a severe winter.
