TO RAISE $1,000,000 MONTHLY Sympathizers Asked to Contribute to Fund to Be Raised Assessment for Anthracite Workers and Their Families. The United Mlneworkers of America in session at Indianapolis voted against a general strike in sympathy with the anthracite strikers, adopted President Mitchell's plan for taxing all miners to support the strikers making only a few modifications, and adjourned cheering and predicting victory for the strikers. The convention Issued a long appeal to the public, setting forth the miners' side of the big strike and appealing for aid for the strikers. The recommendations brought in by the special committee and unanimous­ ly adopted by the convention are as follows: "1. That the national treasurer be authorized and directed to immediate­ ly appropriate $50,000 from the funds of the national treasury and place It at the disposal of the officers of dis­ tricts Nos. 1, 7 and 9. "2. That all districts, subdistrlcts, and local unions be appealed to to donate from the surplus in their treas­ ury as large an amount as they can afford. Levy an Assessment. "S. That an assessment of 10. per cent be levied on the gross earnings of all members of local unions in dis­ tricts Nos. 6. 8, 12, 19, 23 and 25, and an assessment of $1 per week upon all members of local unions in districts No. 2, 5, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20 and 21.

The assessment shall begin with the 16th of July, 1902. "7. All contributions made from the national office to the anthracite region will be divided pro rata to each an­ thracite district in accordance with the number of miners and" mine labor­ ers in each of them, as shown by the most recent coal reports. '8. That the following circular be issued to the American people." The following amendment, sub mitted by President Nichols of anthra­ cite district No. 1, was included: Will Seek Work. 'That each local union in the re­ gions that are at work select a com­ mittee, which shall secure work for as many of the men on strike as pos­ sible in the locality where the local slbble in the locality where the local union is situated and that the local inform secretaries of the strike dis­ tricts of the number of men needed the kind of work, wages and arrange­ ments for transportation. That the same propositions be submitted to ail local unions in the American Federa tlon of Labor. "9. That the circular to our local unions shall include a recommenda tion that committees be appointed to canvass the business men and other citizens of their localities for sub­ scriptions." The address of the convention to the public says in part: "The struggle in the anthracite re­ gion will be continued until our de­ mands have been granted or a com­ petent board of arbitration has de­ clared that we are wrong. Appeal for Arbitration. "We appeal to the people at large to bring all possible pressure to bear on the officers and stockholders of the anthracite coal carrying railroads and other anthracite coal interests to treat considerately the apeals of their em­ ployes for arbitration. "The care of 150,000 men and their families in a protracted struggle such as this is likely to be will require the expenditure of a large sum of money in the purchase of food. "We need more money for that pur­ pose, and we appeal to every trade union and trade unionist, to every citizen whose interests are involved, and to every lover of fair play, to as­ sist us in raising $1,000,000 per month from outside sources as long as the strike may last. "We believe that with this amount of money, together with the amount received from our own members, we nan continue the struggle until Justice has been secured for the anthracite miners."

Famous Bonanza King Expires from Heart Failure and Pneumonia.^ HAD BEEN SICK FIVE DAYS Was Takeh with a Chill and Died De­ spite the Efforts of His Physicians, Who Did Not Consider His Case Serious. John W. Mackay died at 6:30 o'clock Sunday evening at his residence, 6 Carlton House Terrace, London, Eng­ land, in his seventy-second year. His death was unexpected, for, al­ though he had been ill nearly a week, his physicians held out hope that he would recover. The news of his death will be/a great surprise to his many friends, for Mr. Mackay, as a rule, enjoyed robust health. Less than a week be­ fore he was actively engaged in di­ recting the great Interests with which he was connected. The immediate cause of death, ac­ cording to the medical report was heart failure. There were, however, symptoms of pneumonia. The left lung was badly congested. Present at the Bedside. When the end came Mrs. Mackay was at his bedside, and with her were her mother, Mrs. Hungerford, and her sister, Countess Telfner. Mrs. Mac- kay's daughter, the Princess Galatro Colonna, who was summoned from Paris, arrived about an hour after Mr. Mackay had breathed his last G. G. Ward, vice president and gen­ eral maanger of the Commercial Cable company, was also in the house when the end came. Mr. Mackay was taken ill on Tues­ day. He had been in the offices of the Commercial Cable company with Mr. Ward, and the two men went out to lunch. Mr. Mackay, who had been complaining mat he did not feel well, was seized with a chill. Mr. Ward put him into a cab, took him back to Carlton House Terrace and Mr. Mac­ kay went to bed. Held Out Hope. The physicians who were called in did not consider his condition very serious. A denial was Issued of a re­ port which was current in the city that he was dangerously ill. The pa­ tient's condition seemed to improve a little on Wednesday and Thursday, although his heart from the first gave the physicians much cause for concern. On Friday there was a slight turn for the worse, but even then a fatal termination was not expected. Mr. Mackay's condition became still more alarming Saturday. His heart continued to grow weaker in action. Despite the endeavors of his physi­ cians, who administered oxygen, he passed a very bad night. Saturday morning Dr. Richard Doug­ lass Powell, Dr. Jones and Dr. Orr were summoned and held a consulta­ tion. Everything possible was done for the sufferer, but despite all their efforts Mr. Mackay grew weaner and lapsed into unconsciousness, in which condition he remained throughout the day till the end came peacefully with­ out pain.

La Follette Is Re­ nominated by the Republicans. fe DOES NOT TRY TO CONCILIATE In His 8peech Accepting Nomination Executive Makes No Attempt to Induce Stalwarts to Get Into Line for Nominees. For governor--Robert M. La Follette. For lieutenant governor -- James O. Davidson. For secretary of state--Walter L. Houser. For state treasurer--John J. Kempt, Milwaukee. For attorney general--L. M. Sturtevant, Clark county. For superintendent of public instruc­ tion--Charles P. Carey. For railroad commissioner--John W. Thomas. For insurance commissioner--Zeno M. Host. The "stalwart" opposition to Gov. La Follette mustered Just 266 votes for Senator John M. Whitehead, its candidate, In the Wisconsin Republi­ can convention, against 792 for La Follette and 8 scattering. The victory for the La Follette forces was over­ whelming. The feature of the session was the plain talk of the governor in ac­ cepting the nomination and the equal­ ly plain talk of H. L. Chynoweth, his friend, in putting him in nomination. Instead of the conciliatory speeches usual on such occasions both speakers lectured when they did not scold the opposition, and instead oi bidding for the votes of the "stalwarts" they de­ fied them. Mr. Chynoweth, after a eulogy of the platform and a reference to Sen­ ator Spooner, saying, "No man is greater than his party," went into the governor's political life at length, say­ ing he had some years ago determined on "the annihilation of the party ma­ chine." To accomplish this he had proposed the passage of the primary law, "a remedy against the baneful in­ fluence of the railroad lobby In the legislature" Must Keep Pledges. Gov. La Follette, when he was brought Into the hall to be notified of his nomination, thanked the con­ vention for the honor and at once took up the text of the obligation of a party to keep its platform pledges. Among other things he said: "It has always been the boast of the Republican party that a citizen could tell how the party would legis­ late by consulting its platform pledges. Political platforms must be upheld if political parties are to be maintained. "Platform pledges are the convic­ tions of the party. They are the in­ ducements it offers to the voters. They are the guide for the citizens. They are the written contract de­ liberately entered into with every vot­ er who votes for the candidate. "The candidate who is unwilling to be bound by the platform has no right to accept a party nomination. "Having accepted a nomination, if he finds he is not in accord with the pledge of his party, then the candi­ date is in honor bound to withdraw as the nominee." Influence of Money. Changing his theme for a moment, the governor read from a speech of ex-Justice Ryan of the supreme court in which the influence of money in politics was spoken of as a power which would result in "replacing edu­ cated and patriotic statesmanship In public places with feudal serfs of corporate wealth," and the governor added: "Surely the party of Lincoln, which abolished slavery, will not abandon its history and its hopes and become the tool of oppression." In conclusion he warned his hear­ ers to see to it that men are nom­ inated to the legislature who would be true to the party platform and asked that those already named "pro­ claim publicly their position in these issues." " John M. Whitehead was placed in nomination as the "stalwart" candi­ date for governor by A. P. Matheson, his law partner. There were seconds for both candidates, the most notable ones being ex-Gov. Hoard, who said he spoke as the only La Follette dele­ gate from Jefferson county. The nomination was made unani­ mous. India's Wheat Crop.

BOAT CAPSIZES; F Squall Strikes an Overloaded Craft and It Turns Turtle. EXPERT SWIMMERS OVERCOME Endeavor to Rescue 8ome of the . Women and Lose Their Llvee-- --Party Consisted of College Stu­ dents and School Teachers. Appledore Island, Isles of Shoals, N. £., speoial: Twelve girls and two men were drowned when a whale boat containing a party of sixteen waiters and waitresses of theOceanic hotel on Appledore island was overturned by a squall 300 feet from the shore. The men were college students serving as waiters during vacation and several of the girls were school teach­ ers. The bodies of nine were recov­ ered. , The party was in charge of Skipper Fred Maes, an experienced boatman, and no danger wad apprehended when the party started out. When 30 feet from the landing a squall arose and in an Instant the boat was bottom up and the young people were struggling in the water. Only Three Rescued. The accident was witnessed from both Appledore and Star islands, and withing a few minutes the steamer Sam Adams and a score of boats went to the rescue. The confusion was so great, however, that only three were rescued alive and fire bodies of the fourteen drowned were lost. As quickly as possible the nine life­ less ones were placed In charge of doe- tors on the shore of Appledore island and every effort made to resuscitate them, but the efforts were in vain and the nine bodies are in a morgue on the mainland at Portsmouth. Among the drowned were H. Cole­ man Farrington and W. A. Alward, both law students at Harvard, room­ ing at Forsyth hall. Alward and Far­ rington were good swimmers and they lost their lives in an effort to save some of the women. List of the Dead. Mary J.

The Misses BoWfes were school teachers in Saxonville, and the Misses Marshall filled similar positions in Haverhill. The bodies of Farrington, Alward, Bessie Chase, Bva Marshall and Isa- bell Kaouska have not yet been re­ covered. Skipper Miles told the following story of the disaster: Struck by a Squall. "We left for a sale around Apple­ dore island, and as there was quite a heavy sea I hugged close to the shore, Just avoiding the rocks. The wind was dead ahead and I jogged along as easy as possible until Malaga Gut was reached, when I had to tack In order to fetch ahead for the wharf. I told the girls to change seats, and had hardly got the words out of my mouth when the squall struck and a splash of water came against the boat and all aboard fell to the leeward, causing the craft to fill In a second." Skipper Miles feels that the disaster was due principally to the fact that the boat was overloaded. CUBA MAY AID CANE GROWING Senate Considers a $4,000,000 Loan, Also Bounty on Cows.

GRAIN PRICES AGAIN NORMAL Removal of the Speculative Element from the Market Causes a Return to Business Basis--Iron and Steel Evince Strength. "Settlement of numerous labor con* troversies and prospect of early agree* ments as to other struggles have greatly Improved the industrial out* look, while agricultural conditions steadily improve. As these have beea the only unfavorable influences for some months, the prospects for active trade are decidedly encouraging Preparations for unusually heavy fall sales are being made and confidenct grows stronger. Mills and furnaces that have been Idle on account of the usual overhauling resumed as rapidly as needed repairs could be madfe Financial conditions are sound, th* midyear dividend distributions pro* ducing no stringency, and speculadoa has been heavy for the same season, both In securities and staples." R. Qw Dun Co.'8 weekly review of trade makes the foregoing summary of the Industrial outlook. Continuing the re­ view says: "Pig iron continues to command lull prices, supplies falling below re­ quirements and furnace deliveries fail* ing to fill contracts. Prices Are Maintained. , "Scarcity of fuel is still the princi­ pal drawback, while car and motive power shortage are additional causes of delay. . Prices are fully maintained for the raw material, but billets weak­ ened slightly. Importations have reached a considerable agregate and more are expected. Structural mate­ rial is still the feature. Railway needs do not diminish, despite the enormous amount of work already placed, and agricultural Implement makers ars fully employed. A general advance la prices of machine tools has occurred. "Manufactures of cotton goods hold prices steady, although buying is only for Imperative requirements. No con­ cessions are offered by holders. Some curtailment of spinning is reported at southern mills, the tendency being to wait until new crop cotton comee forward. Export trade has increased. Eastern shoeshops receive more or­ ders. Prices are firmly held. "Corn prospects have continued fa­ vorable, and with the removal of speo- ulative influences there was a grad­ ual decline in prices. Cotton rules steady, the outlook for a liberal yield being balanced by the strong statisti­ cal position.
