Portsmouth, N. II., Aug. 21. — The feature of the proposition of President Uoosevelt, communicated through Baron Kosen, who visited Oyster Bay oil Saturday at the president's request, to M. VVitte and transmitted by the latter to Emperor Nicholas, was based upon the principle of arbitration. Whether the proposal contemplates arbitration of all the articles upon which the plenipotentiaries have failed to agree or only upon the question of indemnity cannot be stated with posiilveness, but it is more than probable that it relates only to Indemnity or ttf Indemnity and the cession of the island of Sakhalin. Butte, Mont., Aug. 21.—A collision between a street car and a freight train cost the lives of nine persons late Sunday night. In additiun 14 were injured, one fatally. London, Aug. 21.—The resignation of Lord Curzon of Kedleston as viceroy of India and the appointment of the Earl of Minto, former governor general of Canada, as his successor was announced at the India office. According to the correspondence, which Is issued in the form of a white book, it appears that Lord Ciirzon's resignation was cabled to that office on Aug. 12. New York, Aug. 21.-Wltb tens of thousands of persons gazing spellbound at the unusual sight, A. Roy Knnbensliue of Toledo sailed majestically above the city in Ills new alrshipf. It was the first time in the history of the metropolis that New Yorkers saw a real airship soaring above them for any distance, and the manner in which the aeronaut handled the frail craft, steering it at will, rising and dropping at the most fear Inspiring angles, caused the crowd to hold its breath in contemplation of the awful end which it expected any moment would come to the machine and its cool controller. The Fifth New York Cavalry Association, whose members took an active part in the conflict will hold its annual reunion in Hanover on that day and participate in the ceremonies. The accident came as the climax to a day of merrymaking at Columbia Gardens where throngs gathered to enjoy a Sunday outing. The street car was tilled with the picnickers homeward bound, when it was run down by a Butte, Anaconda and Pacliic train. The crowded street car was struck squarely and crushed like an eggshell. Those who witnessed the accident regard it as little short of miraculous that any one aboard escaped death. The dead: In the matter of formulating the demands, the delegates will be governed In a great measure by the declaration made by President Mitchell at Wilkesbarre a few days ago, when he said that he would not be satisfied unless the union is recognized and contracts and agreements made with this understanding.

Aug. 21.—Through the generosity and public spirit of the late Kobert W. Hyerss and the unselfishness of his widow, who is now Mrs. John Bawn, 1'hiladelphla comes into possession of the liyerss magnificent estutc near Fox Chase. Was Crossing ltailroad Track In Wll- The mine workers of the East End, Wilkesbarre, are having a big celebration this afternoon. John Mitchell, national president of the United Mine Workers of America, is the principal guest and speaker, and special interest attaches to the celebration owing to the fact that it is the last of the long seriqs that have been held in District No. 1, before President Mitchell goes to the other anthracite districts. Mr. Mitchell arrived in Wilkesbarre this morning and made his headquarters at Hotel Hart. Shortly after dinner he was met at the hotel by a reception committee of the East End miners, who escorted him in a carriage to Scott street, in the upper end of the city. At this point he was met by a parade composed of all the union mine workers in that section of the city, numbering several thousand. The parade, headed by the noted miners' leader, then moved to an open field, through the principal streets of that section of the city, and the remainder of the afternoon was passed in listening to a number of speeches pertaining to the mine workup' organisation and the plans that arc in progress for the strengthening of the union In preparation for the enforcement of demands to be made at the expiration of the present agreement with the operators in April, 1!D06.

Struck a Hail and His Skull Was Fractured. Burhoime, as the country seat Is called, was willed by Mr. liyerss to the city "for the use and enjoyment of the people forever." To his wife was given a life interest in the estate, and she has resided there for several years. Since Mrs. Bawn is a great traveler and spends much of her time away from the beautiful home she lately decided to relinquish her rights in the property and it has already been accepted by the city in an ordinance passed by councils. At the close of the two mile flight above the city Knabenshue said there was never a moment when lie experienced the slightest fear or fright, lie said he was at perfect ease and knew that the greatest difficulty confronting him was in making a successful landing so as to prevent the wrecking of the ship. He said there is something so exhilarating In a flight high in the air that the aeronaut forgets that he Is in any danger. lie says confidently that on his next trip he will sail ail around New York. Strange and sudden was the death of John H. Hessler, a prominent business man of Wilkesbarre, which occurred at noon today. Mr. Hessler conducted a very successful laundry business on South street. He had been home for dinner and was returning to his work. He was obliged to cross the Lehigh Valley tracks at Northampton street, and as he did so lie stubbed his toe against one of the rails. This caused him to fall forward suddenly and he landed on the crossing, his chin striking another rail. He failed to rise from the crossing. and when assistance reached him, a moment after he fell, he was dead. Investigation revealed that in falling he had fractured his skull. Mr. Hessler wus 4fD years of age and is survived by his wife and seven children. The news of his death was a great shock to the members of his family, whom he had left at home but a few minutes previous to the accident. Mr. Hessler had been In the laundry business In Wilkesbarre for a number of years. First he was in partnership with Oscar Smith, but for the past seven years he had been conducting a laundry himself and was very successful. If he agrees Japan, if she has not nlready done so, would be all the more bound to submit her claim to the decision of an imparl ial arbitrator. Acceptance by both sides would Involve a great extension of the principle of arbitration, as nations have heretofore declined to arbitrate questions involving their "honor and dignity." Both Mr. Takahira and M. Wltte in the earlier stages of the conference absolutely rejected the Idea of arbitration, and as late as Saturday both reiterated their disbelief In such a solution. It was noticed, however, that M. Wltte's opinion was not expressed as strongly as last week. It is not known whether the motorman made the usual stop and the conductor examined the crossing for approaching trains. The street car noisily bumped its way onto the railroad tracks, when out of the darkness suddenly loomed up the heavy form of a string of freight cars backing rapidly. On top of the first freigHt car Conductor Hoagland, of the train, frantically waved a lantern and shouted a cry of warning. It was unheeded. A moment later the freight train plowed Its way through the fragile car, grinding timbers, steel and iron braces and fragments of humanity into a horrible mass. ' Never before has Philadelphia received such a spiendM gift or one which will afford opportunities of enjoyment to persons of so widely diversified tastes. Old age and youth, ignorance and culture, all can find at Burhoime that for which they seek when enjoying a resepitc from the usual daily routine. The gift consisits not only of the iuuJ and buildings, but includes also books, pictures, old china, silver, glass and furniture, together with a large collection of curiosities gathered by Mrs. Bawn during her tra vels.

One woman, buried deep under the wreck, had both feet severed at the ankles. Her cries were agonizing while officials and volunteers labored to reach her. The protruding mangled limbs and the cries of the woman were the only guides the rescuers had to govern their work. The woman finally fainted. Her identity is unknown. Turin, Aug..21 —A dastardly attempt has just been made to assassinate Queen Marglierita, mother of King Victor Emmanuel, who is making a tour of tlie Alps in an automobile.

Burholme Park, as the place will be called, is situated on the boundary line between Montgomery county and the 35th ward. It occupies the highest location in the city of Philadelphia and is surrounded by a region of natural beauty.

The leaders agree that It is almost a necessity to have the Fifth district represented on the ticket in order to bring out the large Democratic vote from this end of the county and the question of a candidate from this vicinity Is uppermost in the minds of the leaders. They still have their eye on Attorney William H. Gillespie, of this city, for the nomination for recorder of deeds. Attorney Gillespie has not given a decided answer on the question, but will, likely settle the matter today by either an acceptance or a refusal. That Attorney Gillespie can have the nomination if he will accept it is an assured fact. A Telegram representative, who is supposed to stand close to the Democratic county chiefs, said yesterday: "I happen to know that if Attorney William H. Gillespie wants, the nomination for recorder he can have it. I am not violating any confidence when I state that John T. Lenahan is friendly to Mr. Gillespie, whom he holds in High esteem." Attorney Gillespie has no desire to break In on his law practice at this time by the rigors of a political campaign and it is probable that he will decline the urgings of his friends. However, he.has not made up his mind on the subject. As was stated Saturday the party managers have their eye on P. F. Joyce for a commisslonershlp, but the matter is hanging fire.

Mrs. Kate Edwards, who Is under sentence of death at Reading for the murder of her husband, has had trouble with her eyes recently and yesterday an oculist examined and diagnosed her case' as having been brought on by epileptic ilts.

Portsmouth, N. II., Aug. 21. — The feature of the proposition of President Uoosevelt, communicated through Baron Kosen, who visited Oyster Bay oil Saturday at the president's request, to M. VVitte and transmitted by the latter to Emperor Nicholas, was based upon the principle of arbitration. Whether the proposal contemplates arbitration of all the articles upon which the plenipotentiaries have failed to agree or only upon the question of indemnity cannot be stated with posiilveness, but it is more than probable that it relates only to Indemnity or ttf Indemnity and the cession of the island of Sakhalin. Butte, Mont., Aug. 21.—A collision between a street car and a freight train cost the lives of nine persons late Sunday night. In additiun 14 were injured, one fatally. London, Aug. 21.—The resignation of Lord Curzon of Kedleston as viceroy of India and the appointment of the Earl of Minto, former governor general of Canada, as his successor was announced at the India office. According to the correspondence, which Is issued in the form of a white book, it appears that Lord Ciirzon's resignation was cabled to that office on Aug. 12. New York, Aug. 21.-Wltb tens of thousands of persons gazing spellbound at the unusual sight, A. Roy Knnbensliue of Toledo sailed majestically above the city in Ills new alrshipf. It was the first time in the history of the metropolis that New Yorkers saw a real airship soaring above them for any distance, and the manner in which the aeronaut handled the frail craft, steering it at will, rising and dropping at the most fear Inspiring angles, caused the crowd to hold its breath in contemplation of the awful end which it expected any moment would come to the machine and its cool controller. The Fifth New York Cavalry Association, whose members took an active part in the conflict will hold its annual reunion in Hanover on that day and participate in the ceremonies. The accident came as the climax to a day of merrymaking at Columbia Gardens where throngs gathered to enjoy a Sunday outing. The street car was tilled with the picnickers homeward bound, when it was run down by a Butte, Anaconda and Pacliic train. The crowded street car was struck squarely and crushed like an eggshell. Those who witnessed the accident regard it as little short of miraculous that any one aboard escaped death. The dead: In the matter of formulating the demands, the delegates will be governed In a great measure by the declaration made by President Mitchell at Wilkesbarre a few days ago, when he said that he would not be satisfied unless the union is recognized and contracts and agreements made with this understanding.

Aug. 21.—Through the generosity and public spirit of the late Kobert W. Hyerss and the unselfishness of his widow, who is now Mrs. John Bawn, 1'hiladelphla comes into possession of the liyerss magnificent estutc near Fox Chase. Was Crossing ltailroad Track In Wll- The mine workers of the East End, Wilkesbarre, are having a big celebration this afternoon. John Mitchell, national president of the United Mine Workers of America, is the principal guest and speaker, and special interest attaches to the celebration owing to the fact that it is the last of the long seriqs that have been held in District No. 1, before President Mitchell goes to the other anthracite districts. Mr. Mitchell arrived in Wilkesbarre this morning and made his headquarters at Hotel Hart. Shortly after dinner he was met at the hotel by a reception committee of the East End miners, who escorted him in a carriage to Scott street, in the upper end of the city. At this point he was met by a parade composed of all the union mine workers in that section of the city, numbering several thousand. The parade, headed by the noted miners' leader, then moved to an open field, through the principal streets of that section of the city, and the remainder of the afternoon was passed in listening to a number of speeches pertaining to the mine workup' organisation and the plans that arc in progress for the strengthening of the union In preparation for the enforcement of demands to be made at the expiration of the present agreement with the operators in April, 1!D06.

Struck a Hail and His Skull Was Fractured. Burhoime, as the country seat Is called, was willed by Mr. liyerss to the city "for the use and enjoyment of the people forever." To his wife was given a life interest in the estate, and she has resided there for several years. Since Mrs. Bawn is a great traveler and spends much of her time away from the beautiful home she lately decided to relinquish her rights in the property and it has already been accepted by the city in an ordinance passed by councils. At the close of the two mile flight above the city Knabenshue said there was never a moment when lie experienced the slightest fear or fright, lie said he was at perfect ease and knew that the greatest difficulty confronting him was in making a successful landing so as to prevent the wrecking of the ship. He said there is something so exhilarating In a flight high in the air that the aeronaut forgets that he Is in any danger. lie says confidently that on his next trip he will sail ail around New York. Strange and sudden was the death of John H. Hessler, a prominent business man of Wilkesbarre, which occurred at noon today. Mr. Hessler conducted a very successful laundry business on South street. He had been home for dinner and was returning to his work. He was obliged to cross the Lehigh Valley tracks at Northampton street, and as he did so lie stubbed his toe against one of the rails. This caused him to fall forward suddenly and he landed on the crossing, his chin striking another rail. He failed to rise from the crossing. and when assistance reached him, a moment after he fell, he was dead. Investigation revealed that in falling he had fractured his skull. Mr. Hessler wus 4fD years of age and is survived by his wife and seven children. The news of his death was a great shock to the members of his family, whom he had left at home but a few minutes previous to the accident. Mr. Hessler had been In the laundry business In Wilkesbarre for a number of years. First he was in partnership with Oscar Smith, but for the past seven years he had been conducting a laundry himself and was very successful. If he agrees Japan, if she has not nlready done so, would be all the more bound to submit her claim to the decision of an imparl ial arbitrator. Acceptance by both sides would Involve a great extension of the principle of arbitration, as nations have heretofore declined to arbitrate questions involving their "honor and dignity." Both Mr. Takahira and M. Wltte in the earlier stages of the conference absolutely rejected the Idea of arbitration, and as late as Saturday both reiterated their disbelief In such a solution. It was noticed, however, that M. Wltte's opinion was not expressed as strongly as last week. It is not known whether the motorman made the usual stop and the conductor examined the crossing for approaching trains. The street car noisily bumped its way onto the railroad tracks, when out of the darkness suddenly loomed up the heavy form of a string of freight cars backing rapidly. On top of the first freigHt car Conductor Hoagland, of the train, frantically waved a lantern and shouted a cry of warning. It was unheeded. A moment later the freight train plowed Its way through the fragile car, grinding timbers, steel and iron braces and fragments of humanity into a horrible mass. ' Never before has Philadelphia received such a spiendM gift or one which will afford opportunities of enjoyment to persons of so widely diversified tastes. Old age and youth, ignorance and culture, all can find at Burhoime that for which they seek when enjoying a resepitc from the usual daily routine. The gift consisits not only of the iuuJ and buildings, but includes also books, pictures, old china, silver, glass and furniture, together with a large collection of curiosities gathered by Mrs. Bawn during her tra vels.

One woman, buried deep under the wreck, had both feet severed at the ankles. Her cries were agonizing while officials and volunteers labored to reach her. The protruding mangled limbs and the cries of the woman were the only guides the rescuers had to govern their work. The woman finally fainted. Her identity is unknown. Turin, Aug..21 —A dastardly attempt has just been made to assassinate Queen Marglierita, mother of King Victor Emmanuel, who is making a tour of tlie Alps in an automobile.

Burholme Park, as the place will be called, is situated on the boundary line between Montgomery county and the 35th ward. It occupies the highest location in the city of Philadelphia and is surrounded by a region of natural beauty. From the observatory of the mansion, a succession of views claims the eye, the busy, bustling city, more quiet suburban towns and the truly rural landscape where billowy meadows slope away to the placid Delaware, which shimmers in th# sunlight.

The leaders agree that It is almost a necessity to have the Fifth district represented on the ticket in order to bring out the large Democratic vote from this end of the county and the question of a candidate from this vicinity Is uppermost in the minds of the leaders. They still have their eye on Attorney William H. Gillespie, of this city, for the nomination for recorder of deeds. Attorney Gillespie has not given a decided answer on the question, but will, likely settle the matter today by either an acceptance or a refusal. That Attorney Gillespie can have the nomination if he will accept it is an assured fact. A Telegram representative, who is supposed to stand close to the Democratic county chiefs, said yesterday: "I happen to know that if Attorney William H. Gillespie wants, the nomination for recorder he can have it. I am not violating any confidence when I state that John T. Lenahan is friendly to Mr. Gillespie, whom he holds in High esteem." Attorney Gillespie has no desire to break In on his law practice at this time by the rigors of a political campaign and it is probable that he will decline the urgings of his friends. However, he.has not made up his mind on the subject. As was stated Saturday the party managers have their eye on P. F. Joyce for a commisslonershlp, but the matter is hanging fire.
