Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers' association arrived in Wash ington over the Pennsylvania railroad at lldff odxy in response to invitation of President Roosevelt to meet him in con ference relative to the proposal of the anthracite raining operators for the com position of a commission to settle the coal struts.» Mr. MitchelH was not accompanied by the district presidents, as he was upon his former trip, and had no traveling com panion except a newspaper man who had accompanied him from Wllkesbarre. He was met there by no one. except a delegation of reporters, whem he received with a somewuat melancholy smile. He shook hands with ail of them, but volun teereo no remarks. He remained in the rahroad waiting room tor* ten or fifteen minutes, but a- utely declined to reply to any question, the wnich might throw light upon his present in:en ttons or future movements. He even de clined to say whether there had been any change in the situation since last night or where he meant to stop in Washing ton after leaving tne white house. 1 Mitchell Was Silent. “I can only say now. he said, in reply to many questions, "that I shall go di rect to the white house, but what my anovements will be after my interview with the president 1 eannot say." Mr. Mitchell reached the temporary white house at 11:50 a. ft. As the doer of the white house wa« swung open to ad mit him. Mr. Mitchell nodded and Smiled pleasantly to several newspaper aeqaint ances shorn lx recognized. • • Rushed To Roosevelt AX'ter the exchange of greetings Secre tary Corteiyou invited Mr. Mitchell to proceed with him at once to the parlor of President Roosevelt’s house on the sec ond floor of the mansion. Prior to the arrlyal of Mr. Mitchell, the president was engaged in c onferences with h;s advisers. Secretary Root was an early caller and was in conference with the president about ap hour. As he left the white house. Mr. Root, while taking generally an optimistic view of the situa tion. said some obstacles had arisen In the way of settlement of the strike. These he believed, would be ovenomt. Just how they Were to be overcome’he did not indicate and he did not say what the nature of the obstacles were. President In Conference. President Roosevelt and President Mitchell were in conference until 2:25. The latter left and descended the stairs unaccompanied. As he passed out of the white house he announced that he ha J no statement to make. He did not indicate by word of sign what had passed te.v.ten him and the president. He appeared to be more cheerful than when he entered the white house, but still maintained his reticence. He deelined to say whether he had submitted any counter propositions to the president or to indi cate whether or. not he would make a statement. He said, however, that he ex pected to see the president again at 3 o'clock, and hoped to be able to return to Wllkesbarre on the 4:50 train, house and saw the president. It is understood sft the conference with the president Mr. Mitchell's main objec tion to the acceptance of the proposition of the operators was the limitations placed on the president In the matter of the selec tion of the arbitration commission. He was especially opposed to the restriction limiting the selection of a federal judge to a particular jurisdiction. It is understood that the miners are willing to waive the technical recognition of the union, as they will get a recognition of the general situ ation that exists in the anthracite region. It is likely that the proposition will go back to the operators with a request that the restriction in the appointment of a commission be withdrawn In order that the president may have a free hand in choos ing the commissioners. Back to White House. Mr. Mitchell reached the white house precisely at 3 o'clock and resumed his conference with the president. There is excellent reason for the belief that President Mitchell will submit to the pres-~ent a counter proposition for a set tlement of the strike. Mr. Mitchell will fesist that the president be given a free hand in the selection of a board of arbitra tion and that the terms under which the board would be created be remodeled somewhat. It is also believed that the wording of the offer of the operators leaving the union out of consideration, does not meet with Mr. Mitchell's approval and that be may ask that the wording be changed so as to more clearly recognise the union. Mr. Mltv..ell left the white house at • 3:45 and announced as he took his depart ure tha. ne had nothing to say at this time. He will leave for Wllkesbarre at 4:56 o’clock. COAL BARONS DECLINE TO DISCUSS SITUATION NEW YORK. Oct. 15.—The coal opera tors generally today were exceedingly •verse to discussing the coal situation in any way. To most of those seen the ques tion was put: "Would you assent to change in the per sonnel of the arbitration committee com posed to deal with the matters in dispute between the strikers and the operators?" The answers of the various presidents may be summarised in the reply made by President Truesdale, of the Lackawanna, who said: “I would consider it highly improper to talk about the matter at the present time.” Some coal dealers who were holding an thracite yesterday at a certain price per ton. averaging about 31*. today are asking blds for coal which they have been bold lx< in reserve.

JUG AND PISTOL MAKE YOUTH SLAY TWO MEN MADISON. Oa.. Oct. 15.—A disagree ment over a jug of whisky was the direct cause of a shocking double tragedy «on the streets of Madison yesterday after noon. • • - Waiter L.

Hamby refused to oelivpr until he had been paid the amount of his adva/ice. One word brought on another and Mitch em. becoming enraged, pulled oui a pistol and shot Hamby through the deft breast, about an inch above the heart. A young er brother of Hamby, seeing. Aubie fall, ran up to interfere and Mitchem, with the smoking revolver tn his hand, turned upon him and commenced shooting at the younger Hamby. In the meantime Aubie Hamby stag gered and fell unconscious to the ground, and the young brother turned to flee from the mouth of the belching pistol, which was now leveled at him. It is said that in hfs precipitous retreat he stumbled and fell and Mitchem ran up within two feet of him and -ut for the failure of St he gun to discharge there would have likely been a triple murder. Young Hamby quickly regained his feet and fled as fast as he could. Mitchem following him. tir ing at every jump. Walter Booth, who was with Aubie Hamby when the difficulty began, had withdrawn a few paces and one of the bullets intended for the younger Hamby, who ran close by him. entered nls heart and he fell dead on the sidewaiK. Will Alle~, who was attracted to the acene by tne shooting, narrowly escaped death from one of the random bullets. The ball pass d between his arm and body, making a slight flesh wound about six inches below the right shoulder. A negro, whose run* cannot be ascertained, was also shot in the erm. Five shots were fired, four of which took effect. Aubie Hamby was uncon scious when medical assistance reached him and died tn a few minutes. The pleadings of his brother, who returned to his side for some recognition, were pa thetic. Hamby died from internal bleed ing. Booth never knew what struck him. ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14,-Speaking of condition on the island of Samar, Gen. Fred Grant, who has just returned from the Philippines said in an interview: • Samar is enjoying tho first period of peace that It has ever known and I am entirely satisfied that the inhabitants of the island will hot attempt to make any further trouble for our government. Now that they have been forced by the stress of military operations to cease their hos tilities. the natives for thel most part seem absolutely contented with the new order of things. Wheil I first went to Samar it was a case of fight our way everywhere and protect yourself while so doingT A soldier could not venture much out of hailing distance of even the conquered towns without being set upon and k...ed by savage natives. "Now an American can go anywhere and go unarmed. The Moros of course, win commit acts of depredation now and again but . needs only a strong police force to hold them in check. A little trouble may also be expected from the na tives of the Sulu group who are more ig norant than those on the other islands." General Grant paid a high tribute to the services In checking the cholera epidemic rendered by Surgeons Reno Pinto de Kraft and Stockdale.

On account of the demand for advertising space has been found necessary to increase the size of this issue of the Semi-Weekly Journal to ten pages. This is done in order not to sacri fice reading matter to advertisements, it being our policy to give subscribers to the Semi-Weekly not less than fifty columns of reading matter in each issue. The regular size of the Seift-Weekly Journal is eight pages, 56 columns, which is sent to sub scribers twice a week for only SI.OO per year, together with a valuable premium. Attention is also called to the clubbing offers announced elsewhere in this issue. The increased advertising patronage of the Semi-Weekly is but another evidence of its contin ued growth. It is, by far, the best newspaper proposition offered the people of the sbuth today, at the price, and advertisers as well as the reading public are not slow to recognize this fact. / EDITOR SETTLES STRIKE Birmingham’s 4,500 Striking Hiners Are Ordered Back To the Mines.

NEGRO AND WILD CAT BATTLE IN A SWAMP DUBLIN, Ga., Oct. 15.—1 n Dead river swamp yesterday afternoon George Tarp ley, a man of gigantic stature and strength, encountered a tremendous wild ,cat ferocious from hunger. The two en > gaged in a battle which lasted for a quar jte’r of an hour. The man nearly lost his life before he came out of the fight vic torious, and had not his faithful dog joined him early in they encounter the result might have been different. Tarpley had been hunting. He heard a great commotion deep in the swamp and an investigation of the noise brought him upon the wild cat, which was chasing tur keys. The man's interference enraged the animal and it sprang upon him before he realized his danger. Tarpley tore the clawing beast from his shoulder and threw it from him. This partly stunned the cat and before it could recover Tarpley shot It in the breast# He thought he had killed it and turned away, but no sooner was his hack turned than he felt it alight again on his shoulder and its sharp claws ripped his neck like blades of steel. He fell to the ground. Then his dog broke in on the battle. The dog got the cat by the throat and dragged it from the negro. Tarpley stag gered to his feet and tried to get another shot but fearing lest he hit the dog could only stand by and watch the two game animals as they battled for life. Over and over they rolled, howling, biting and claw ing. First the dog then the cat had the advantage. Blood spattered against the tree trunks as they fought. It was a perate struggle between the wild denizen of the swamp and the faithful dog pro tecting his master. Finally Tarpley managed to club the cat with the butt end of his gun. He GREAT HORSE SHOW OPENS BRILLIANTLY RUSSELL SAYS HEWILLNOT RUN Judge R. B. Russell, of. the Western circuit, will not be a candidate for chief justice of the supreme court against chief Justice T. J. Simmons, in 1904. He denied very emphatically yesterday that he had such intention, and declared that the first he knew about such a report was’ what he read in the newspapers. Judge Russell came down trom Winder yesterday and was seen at the Kimball By a Journal reporter. When asked if he intended becoming a candidate for chief justice, he said: "I am not and will not be a candidate for chief justice of the supreme court. I am not a candidate for any office. I am at a loss to understand how such a re port could have been circulated. I have not asked for any support from anybody for any position and I have not secured and pledges. /‘I had not heard of my being a candi date against Chief Justice Siminons until I read it in the newspapers, and I desire to correct the report and state that I do not Intend to be a candidate.” The announcement in the Journal Tues day that Judge Russell was contem plating making the race, and that he was pledging votes in advance created some what of a surprise in political circles. While Judge Russell did not so state it is understood that he will remain as judge of the western circuit for awhile. He came out of the race for the associate justiceship of the supreme court made vacant by the resignation of Justice Lew is, at the earnest request of the lawyers and people of his circuit. "I thfnk” said Judge Russell "that I could have been elected associate justice had I remained in the race, but I could not resist the requests which were made of me by my friends in niy circuit to re main with them.” MDRDEMGHT BY BURNING I BfL - AI*)REW BUNDRICH.

As it came up in its spring he caught it by a leg and flung it against a tree. The dog was upon it as it fell to the ground Stunned and the fight soon ended. In the throat the savage teeth of the! dog gripped the cat and its pugna cious spirit was literally ground out of the torn and Weeding body.
