MINERS ARE AGAINST IT President's Proposal Not Re garded With Favor. MILITIA JS(1MAKtNG -NO HASTE Last, of Troops. :Will Not Be in. Field Until Tomorrow-Operators Not Confident Their Presence "Will Have Desired Effect. The plan of President Roosevelt to end the coal strike meets with serious oppo sition at miners' headquarters'. Both President Mitchell and the miners op pose it. The Pennsylvania militiamen are still hurrying to" the scene, but there is little or no rioting. President Roose velt has. not yet received any word from President Mitchell. BUFFALO, Oct 7, President Mitchell positively declines to discuss the request made- by President Roosevelt that he (Mitchell) use his influence to Induce the miners to resume work, with a promise of the appointment of a committee to in vestigate the miners' grievances. It was learned from a reliable source, however, that Mr. MItcheir does not regard the proposition favorably, and that he will decline to ask the miners to resume work under the condtions stipulated. In reply to several questions regarding President Roosevelt's request Mr. Mitchell made the same reply, "I have nothing jto say on the subject at present." President Mitchell also declined to dis cuss the action of Governor Stone in call ing: out the entire National Guard of Pennsylvania, and refused to give tho sub- -startc.ewhat;ssedjsterday -between- himself and Carroll D. "Wright, United States Commissioner of Labor,. In Phila delphia. MIXERS OPPOSED TO PLAN. They Will Not Return to "Work Un less Concession Are Made. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct 7. The two principal features of the anthracite coal strike which claimed public attention In the coal fields today were: Will the min ers yield to the desire of the President of tho United States that they return to work and investigate afterward? and Will the mine operators be able to carry out their promise to produce enough coal to relieve the situation i given the protec tion pf'the' full military power of the state? After a most careful inquiry among the district officers, not Including the district presidents, who are In Buffalo, and the rank and file of mlneworkers, It. was found that sentiment Is strongly against accepting the President's proposition in its present form. The President's mes sage to Mr. Mitchell became known here this afternoon, and it was earnestly dis cussed by the striking miners and citi zens generally. It Is 'positively known to those who are close to the officers of the union that President Mitchell and his district presidents have all along been op posed to the men returning to work with out some concessions, but whether they are so inclined with the President appeal ing to them cannot be officially stated. It is reasonably certain, however, that they still are opposed to such action. The 2500 striking mlneworkers of the Prospect, Oakdale and MIdvale collieries of the Lehigh "Valley Coal Company met in this city today, and it was announced after tho meeting that they had unani mously decided to remain on strike until they got some concessions. The strikers, as a result of the Gov ernor's action, are even more firm for holding out than they have been at any time since the suspension was Inaugurat ed. The leaders say they look upon the struggle now as a general one of capital against labor, and maintain that with the help of organized labor tho country over the miners can stay away from the mines until the operators are compelled to yield a point. The Borough Council of Plymouth at its meeting last night passed a resolution. with one dissenting vote, protesting against the presence of troops In the bor ough. A battalion of the Ninth Regiment was placed In that community yesterday. Strike headquarters were quiet today in the absence of President Mitchell, who Is expected to return from Buffalo to morrow morning. STATEMENT FROM WHITE HOUSE. President Announces Thnt He Sent Wright to See Mitchell. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. The following statement was made public at the White House this afternoon: "On Monday, October 6. Hon. Carroll D. Wright. Commissioner of Labor, went to Philadelphia and gave Mr. John Mitch ell the following from tho President: " 'If Mr. Mitchell will secure the lminp diate return to work of the miners in the anthracite regions, the President will at once appoint a committee to Invest! crate thoroughly into all matters at Issue be tween tne operators and miners, and will do all In his -cower to obtain the settle ment of those questions In accordance witn tne report of the committee.'

In the Bogota's" crew are three graduates of the United States School of Gunnery. J. C. Clark, who Is acting as ship's writer, was on the torpedo-boat Winslow during her memor able night in Cardenas Bay. The Bogota before sailing mounted a 14- pounder In her bows. She has four rapid- fire, six-pounders on her quarter deck, two Maxim-Nordenfelts amidships and two Colt automatic field guns mounted on her superstructure. "We're Americans, every one of us. was one sailor's farewell message. "We would not be much credit to a Sunday school, and some of us could not get jobs In banks, but we can lick any bunch of our weight and numbers in white, and all the 'n'ggers Central America can stack up against us. We'll get the Padllla." Colombian Troops Concentrate. PANAMA, Oct. 7. General Perdomo has oeen made Colombian Minister of State.
