The management had ilone other things that deserved the commendation of the public and of the press, it had taken the company out of politics and it had done away with the free pass evil. But the press generally in its present hostility to the railroads was only falling In line with an anti-oorporatlon public sentiment, which had been created by some of the leaders of the two great political parties, who were trying to outbid each other for popular support by attacking large vested Interests indiscriminately. If this course were pursued much longer It would only result in undermining confidence, in the suspension of Improvements, and In general business depression, from which the whole country would suffer."

The interview was sought by the Senator in order to discuss with the President the record made by the Administration, particularly in the enforcement of the laws against monopolies and favoritism and the results of Investigations that have been conducted under the decision of the President Into the operations of railroads and other great corporations, believed to have been conducted in violation of the anti-trust and interstate commerce laws. Philadelphia, June 4.—Friends of Edwin S. Stuart, ex-mayor and president of the United League, confidently predicted last night that he will be the Republican nominee for governor. Senator Penrose, they said, favored ex-Mayor Stuart, and would use his efforts to promote his candidacy. Bisbee, Ariz., June 4.—The situation at Canauea Is normal after two days' lighting between Americans and striking Mexican miners, In which blood was slied. The American volunteers who weut across the line at Naco with Governor Ysabel of Sonora have returned to BIsbee. Their services were no longer needed, although their presence there before the arrival of Colonel Kosterllsky with Mexican rurales held the situation in check. Philadelphia, Pa., June 4.—A. J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., arrived home yesterday. Last evening he Issued the following statement: Washington, D. C., June 4.—Disclosures so horrifying as to be almost beyond belief are made in the special report on the Chicago packing houses, prepared by Charles P. Nelll, commissioner of labor, and James B. Reynolds, of New York, and submitted to Congress today by President Roosevelt. In his message accompanying the report the President characterizes conditions found by the two investigators as "revolting" and urges "Immediate and drastic legislation" In the interests of health and "Mr. Caasatt said he had returned homi! to take part in the investigation by the hoard of directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. into the matters that had been disclosed during his absence In tjie proceedings before the( Interstate Commerce Commission. He had received only brief cable reports from the olfice of the company and knew nothing of the details, but from these reports and from cables to the London press, lie had learned that charges had been made against certain officials of the acceptance of bribes from coal operators. The board would investigate all such charges exhaustively and If any officer or employe should be found guilty of corrupt practices he would be summarily dealt with. SENATOR GORMAN DEAD Longmaker accompanied him and delivered addresses also. The speeches brought out the fact that when the camp was organised it consisted of 7- members. lDr. Mahon delivered an address and short speeches were made by several others present, including those who had been honored by receiving badges. Before the meeting adjourned choice refreshments were served. Senator Penrose would not Indicate yesterday whom he favored. "1 feel sure that the best man possible will be nominated for governor," he said, just before leaving for Harrisburg. "The state convention will have thp absolute naming of the man who will lead the ticket next November."Passed Away in Washington This Morning. There will be a great deal of Theodore Roosevelt In the Pennsylvania Republican platform, with a recital of what has been accomplished by him .111(1 by a Republican Congress in meeting the demands of the common people for a "square deal.'.' The record is one of which the Republicans need not be ashamed and the Pennsylvania convention proposes to be in the lead In Its official approval of what the national administration has accomplished, and of the great reforms that are now In progress under the leadership of President Roosevelt.

The wrong, If any had been done, was it) the alleged favoritism There could be no favoritism In rates, as shippers of coal and all other freights were on an absolute equality; all pakkthe full tariff rates without rebate. Mr. Cassatt made himself personally responsible for the absolute correctness of this statement. If there was any discrimination It could-only be in tlie distribution of empty coal cars, and so far as he knew, no proof had been produced that the officers concerned had been guilty of such favoritism. The board would, however, also Inquire carefully into these matters and If there had ■ been any wrongdoing would take proper action, but It would not sacrifice faithful anjJ efficient officers to a manufactured and mistaken public opinion.

President HuoncvcII Interested, The almost ccrtain rumor published In the Gazette, Saturday, announcing negotiations for the merging of the Avoca Coal Co. and the Clarence Coal Co. with the Erie coal system proved to be true in every particular. Both these companies are now branches of this great system, but under the name of different subsidiary corporations. The Avoca Coal Co. was bought by the Pennsylvania Coal Co. and the Clarence Coal Co. by the Hillside Coal and Iron Co. Both deals were finally concluded Saturday in New York, where all the interested persons were gathered, thus making it practically Impossible to secure a verification of the rumor In this section. The Pennsylvania Coal Co. and the other interested parties to the deal freely verified the report today and gave out some additional Information concerning the deal. What the consideration was in either case cannot be learned. The deal dates from June 1, although it was not completed until June 2 and the exchange became operative on the signing of the papers. Arrangements were made whereby the coal turned out by the collieries on the first were labeled May 31, so that there would be no technical showing that the consummation of the deal had been delayed. Captain Toui Itinnlng of the Arizona rangers, who took command of the volunteers from Bisbee, has left the scene of the trouble to return to this side of the line, accompanied by members of his company. Senator Penrose declined yesterday to say a word about his conference Saturday night at the White House with President Boosevelt. One of the Senator's closest friends said that Mr. Roosevelt was greatly interested in the situation in Pennsylvania and is exceedingly anxious for a Republican victory, which he will look upon as an indorsement of his attitude toward the trusts and his fights against railroad discrimination. Delegates From Panama Arrive. New York, June 4.—To urge tills notion to take such Steps us will Insure a fair count In the coining elections on the Isthmus of Panama, four delegates representing the Liberal party, which Is now seeking to oust the present regime, arrived here from Colon on the steamship AUIanca. The delegates are Dr. Paltlo Arosnienn, Domingo Diaz, Dr. Torres and Dr. Morales. "The board would also, no doubt, consider the general question of the propriety of the ownership by officers anil employes of stocks of coal and other companies using the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.'s lines, and make regulations in relation thereto. There had always been a shortage of coal cars during periods of every year and In recent years this condition had been aggravated by the great Increase; In the production of coal, notwithstanding the very large increase the company had made to its equipment. Tiiis had Riven rise to many complaints, to charges of discrimination. If the output of coal should continue to Increase In the same ratio as in the past few years, it might not be possible to provide sufficient equipment to avoid a shortage In the car supply at times. In view of this and of the suspicion which such ownership would create, officers having to do with the distribution of empty cars ought not to own coal stocks;, but to prohibit all officers and employes from holding stock of companies having business with the Pennsylvania Railroad Co, would practically bar them from Investing in the stocks of companies located In the State of Pennsylvania, and in a half dozen other states. The subject was troublesome and complicated. It would do no good, but harm, to adopt unworkable and unenforceable regulations. The question must be handled In a reasonable and practical way, and Mr. Cassatt had no doubt the board would succeed In solving it satisfactorily and In formulating proper rules of conduct In this respect for the officers.

"Such pavement," they declare, "cannot be properly cleaned, and is slimy and malodorous when wet, yielding clouds of ill smelling dust when dry." * He allied himself by marriage with Henry Gassaway Davis, the multi-millionaire coal and railroad proprietor of West Virginia, became associated financially with Stephen B.

Last night they asked District Attorney Pell to go to Harrisburg and place the ex-mayor in nomination. It is said that they told Mr. Hell that it would be the easiest thing In the world to obtain a proxy for him to attend the convention and they were very anxious that he make the nominating speech. It was not possible last night to learn what decision the district attorney had made. Boston, June 4.—Already many delegates have arrived In the city to attend the convention of the American Medical association, which opens tomorrow, and between 10,000 and 15,000 doctors are expected to lx* present at the various sessions during the coming week. The chief purpose of the convention is to discuss the latest discoveries in medicine. uea There is some censure expressed of Consul Oalbraith for what appeared to be his one sided attitude and call for aid from his government.

He bided his time and four years later returned "vindicated" to the senate. Mr. Stuart would not discuss the situation last night further than to say that he was not a candidate in any sense of the word. H.ls friends, however, insist that he will accept the nomination If it Is tendered him. The statement of Colonel Greene that the riot had its cause in a socialistic organization among the Mexican laborers is ridiculed, as Mexican laborers have nowhere uuy socialistic organizations.

Washington, June 4.—The suicide of Robert Adams, Jr., congressman from the Second district of Pennsylvania, was not entirely due to losses in Wall street speculation, but partially to losses at bridge whist. Mr. Adams lost $80,000 In various ways during the past two years. " 'Bridge Wlilst' ought to be graven on his tombstone," said a colleague. \ s \ 1st I \ & I i IA  r Both these men have supporters in the Allegheny County delegation which It is declared must be solid for Stuart in order to insure his nomination. Watres claims twelve of the Allegheny Countians and Thompson eighteen. It Is known that both men have been advised to get together and decide on a plan of mutual self protection. That they will do so is predicted and if they do it is declared that they can control enough to prevent Stuart's nomination. Complains of the Press, Though reminders of the disaster were all about, the immediate scene was one of appealing beauty. The pupils of each school were designated by raised signs, such as Rome raised about her legions, but hundreds of them as there were, they were lost In the vast crowd of fully 30,000 spectators who had gathered to watch tha extraordinary event. munity "Though the testimony before the commission might disclose Instances of individual misconduct, and though an effort, seemingly organized, had been made to place the management In the most unfavorable light, Mr. Cassatt asserted that the company's affairs were honestly conducted in the Interest of the shareholders and with a full recognition of Its duty to the public. The company had in its employment over 160,000 "men, who In character, efficiency and devotion to Its Interests, had, in their respective spheres, no superiors anywhere. The management had, In the past, shown itself entitled to the confidence of the public and It should be trusted now to CJeal properly with the situation. Mr. Cassatt thought, too. that- the management deserved better treatment than It had received from the press and particularly from the press of the company's home state. It had rendered an immense service to the public and tfD the cause of honesty and decency in the conduct of the transportation business when In the early part of the year 1900, two years before the passage of the Elklns act, It gave notice that no more rebates would be -paid and that all shippers, great and small, would be placed upon a basis of perfect equality.

General Bell, the chief of staff, will take up the matter with Secretary Taft, and If It develops that there Is no reason why the men should remain at Naco they will return promptly. Word has come to the department from Colonel Steadman, the commanding officer of the post at Fort Huachuca, that It was never Intended that the troops of cavalry should cross the border line Into Mexico with a view to assisting In quieting the troubles at Cananea except in explicit orders to that effect from Washington.

The attack was made on the guards from ambush while they were being transferred from Plum Run to Bradley, where ah effort was being made to have them start the mines. There were 63 guards. It is estimated that the attacking party numbered 250.
