Orders were telegraphed by the - shop leaders tonight to the divi. sional chairmen of the various la bor unions throughout the south to instruct their men to return to work at once. Similar orders were sent out by the Southern's officials to their superintendents to put all of the former workmen back at their old jobs as soon as they applied. Three-Hour Conference. The conference had been in session three hours when William H. Johnston, president of the International Association of Machinists, as spokesman of the union chiefs, announced that a settlement had been reached. Henry W. Miller, vice president of the Southern lines, in charge of the operations, exhibited a copy of the agreement bearing signature of the union leaders and representatives of the Southern, remarking that he expected most of the striking workers to be back at work within a week. The refusal of the shop leaders to sign last Saturday led to doubt in some quarters as to the outcome of today's meeting. It was understood that the decision in favor of settlement was influenced largely by President Johnston who was said to have urged an amicable agreement in the interest of "industrial peace." E. E. Norris, St. Louis, vice president and general manager of the Mobile and Ohio railroad, acted as spokesman for that system in the negotiations. AUTO TURN'S OVER, GIRL KILLED.

Washington, Sept. 6.?Excessively dry, hot weather in nearly all sections of the country has caused deterioration in the condition of many crops, according to the semi-monthly crop report of the department of agriculture issued today. Preparation of the ground for fall seeding, however, has made considerable progress and farm work has advanced satisfactorily. Much damage to cotton from drought, boll weevih rust and-army worms was reported,, with picking in progress in most of the producing area and progressing rapidly in Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi and the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. Corn is maturing rapidly and being husked in the southern states, but this crop has deteriorated in the central and eastern states, with the setback severe in Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska due to heat and lack of moisture. Threshing of small grains has been virtually completed in the ] south and middle west, but market , conditions have slowed up the thresh- ^ ing of wheat in Kansas. Spring wheat yields in the Pacific coast < states is running below normal and ^ light weight. The quality is high, however, in the Dakotas and Minne- j sota, where threshing of spring j wheat is under way. Oats have been , variable generally and light in weight. CROOKS'S PAROLE REVOKED.

Jackson, Cal., Sept. 18.?All fortyseven of the miners entombed in the Argonaut mine August 27, are dead, it was announced officially shortly before 9 o'clock tonight. A note found on one of the bodies indicated that all the men had died within five hours of the beginning of the fire August 27, officials said. All the miners were found behind the second of two bulkheads they had built in a cross-cut when 4,350 feet down in the mine. Byron O. Pickard, chief of the federal bureau of mines for this district, was the first man to go behind the bulkhead and discovered the bodies. Pickard, on an earlier exploration behind the bulkhead, had counted forty-two bodies and expressed the belief then that there were others there. Note Tells of Bad Gas. The note found read as follows: <43 a. m., gas bad." The same note bore a scrawled figure "4" apparently indicating the same man had attempted to leave word for those who might come after, of the condition of the mine at that hour. Mine officials declared that the condition of the cross-cut behind the bulkhead was such that life could / not have been sustained there by the entombed men for more than five hours. The bodies were piled one on top of another and decomposition had progressed so far that identification would be impossible, Pickard reported. Dillon Farmer Fatally Shot. THllnn. Sent. 18.?J.

One wing of a large summer-resort iotel had burned, and the manager ind a group of hotel employees were gazing mournfully at the ruins.
