.NEW YORK, Sept It. R. VL Oliphant,
president of the Delaware & Hudson
Elver Railroad, Bald ho -wonld not reply
to the telegram from John Mitchell, pres
ident of the United Mineworkers of Amer
ica, demanding arbitration of the differ
ences existing t?otween the company' and
its men. He called attention to the fact
that It was .sent from Indianapolis
"Wednesday afternoon at 4:20 o'clock, and
was referred by nlm at 4:42, and that-thB
Etrik order was issued at 5:30.
"It seems to me." said Mr. Ollphant,
-that tells the whole tale. Mr. Mitchell
lias said that this telegram was one last
effort to settle the grievances said to
exist between the company and'-its em
ployes. So ar as I am aware, this is the
first attempt he has ever .made to settle
ihe matter. I have always been ready to
treat with our men, and am Teady o do so.
now, but we hare yet to learn, from our
men themselves that they are dissatisfied
with their treatment. We do decllno to
treat with Mr. Mitchell and the organiza
tion he represents. The trouble has all
teen fomented by the bituminous unions.
"We shall shut down the collieries and
wait for the men to return. "We have no
desire to foment disorder, and shall not
encourage It by bringing in new men."

The Strike Begnn.
SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 11 There is no
longer any question. as to a general If not
a complete tie-up of the mines in the
Jjackawanna region Monday morning.
!Tbday, three days before the strike order
fcoes Into effect, 15,000 of the 38,000 miners
are on strike; 21 of the 87 collieries are
forced Into Idleness, and by noon tomor
row the union leaders claim the tie-up
will be complete. The one thing the op
erators in and about Scranton mainly
based their hopes on was that the Dela
ware, Lackawanna & "Western miners,
numbering a third of the whole district
and operating a fifth of the collieries,
would decline to obey the strike order.
The Lackawanna's men have an Inde
pendent "union, and, as It was favored by
the company, a majority of the employes
permitted themselves to be enrolled In it.
The organization declared against strik
ing, and the company lived In hope that It
would act in accordance with this declara
tion. Today the mineworkers' officials
were Jubilant over the fact that of the 21
collieries that are completely shut down,
nine are those of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna & Western Company, which has 23
collieries.
Ko Politic in It, Say Mitchell.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Sept. 14. John
Mitchell, president, and W. B. "Wilson,
secretary and treasurer of the United
Mineworkers of America, today . said
they are Ijlghly pleased with the man
ner In which the general anthracite coal
strike order has been received by the pub
lic. Mitchell said he regrets deeply that
politicians are undertaking to make cap
ital out of the strike.
"I had hoped," said he, "that there
would be no political significance attached
to so serious a matter as this great
strike, involving, as It does, the -very
living of 242,000 wage-earners, wno have
felt the merciless foot of capital for two
decades."
Mitchell is preparing to leave for Ha
zletGn, Pa., tomorrow night, where he
will establish headquarters. His policy,
he says, as well as that of all other lead
ers in the Strike, will be to persuade the
workers to remain away from the mines.
Federation of Labor May Help.
EHAMOKIN. Pa., Sept. 14. A telegram
was received by John Fahey, president of
the Ninth District United Mineworkers
of America, from Samuel Gompers, presi
dent of the Federation of Labor, announc
ing that he would be here on Sunday
to address a mass meeting which the
strike leaders expect will be attended
by at least ' 10,000 mineworkers. This
is interpreted by the strikers to mean
that the American Federation of Labor
will assist them in their struggle.

FACE TO PACE WJTH COAL FAMINE'.
Xevr York Is Supplied tor lint a
Month and a Half.
NEW YORK, Sept, 14. The Herald says:
New York City is face to face with a
coal .famine and period, of distress which
may recall to the old inhabitants the coal
strike of 1KT8, when anthracite cost the
consumer $12 and $14 a ton. This city,
of all others, will bear the brunt of any
coal famine which the labor trouble may
develop. The amount of coal now in
the hands of New York dealers, on the
way to tho city and in the hands of the
coal companies above ground is estimated
at only 45 days' supply, which means
about 1,125,000 tons. The representative of
a mining and commission-house which
mines 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 tons a year. beT
sides handling coal for the railroad com
panies, said: "Monday we shall raise our
prices $1 a ton, and I presume that there
will be a general rise of at least that
amount."
Dealers are busy completing arrange
ments for getting In stocks of coal, but
the big Tailroad companies are proving
how thoroughly they appreciata the situ
ation by shutting -down on the dealers.
All but the Philadelphia & Reading have
refused to take further orders for coal,
and the Philadelphia & Beading is tak
ing orders only against stocks on hand,
and with .the understanding that these
orders are to be cancelled in tho event
of a strike. "The dealers have only been
awake to the threatening situation fdt
about a week, but In that time they" have
been scrambling furiously to buy, and
water freight rates and wholesale rates
for coal have already risen sharply. This
advance simply pressages a much larger
one.
"The dealers, said Mr. Wells. of
Stickncy, Conyngham & Co,, "have
filled every boat in the harbor with their
coal purchases. Not only Is it the case
that practically all available boats hav
been taken for coal carriers, but hun
dreds .of them have been tied up to coal
docks and used for storage purposes, be
cause of lackpfToom on shore."
Rates have risen to "circular prices";
that is to sny, a week ago the prices
named in the circulars were'-oelng shaded
15 to 25 cents a ton, and since then they
have stiffened up to the full nominal rates.
Good Anthracite coalegg. TBtove'or chest
nut, costs the jobber 34 05 free on board
at South Amboy, or U 10 free Oh board
at Weehawken or Hoboken. Tho water
freight rate from South Amboy is nomi
nalTx 30 cents, and from Weehawken 15
cents a ton, so that the price of" the
staple to the jobber Is H 25 alongside a
dock in this harbor. Ten days ago coal
was being sold 25 cents cheaper at South
Amboy than is now the case, and freight
rates had been shaded several cents a
ton. In some cases, freight rates have
since risen to as high as 25 cents a ton
in view of the extraordinary demand for
coal boats. And all this four days in
advance of the day set for tho formal
ilnetlt-ntlnn of thfi strike.
1 A fair estimate of the coal now In the
hands of New York dealers and afloat
"and consigned to them is 30 days' sup
ply. This would mean 750,000 tons. New
.York takes, according to the estimate of
E. Seward, a total of about 12,000,000
,tons a year. Coal men agree that it
is safe to say that we consume at least
9,000.000 tons of anthracite here. Soma
bituminous coal is used, In Bpite of the
Health Board. '
Big railroad companies the Delaware,
Lackawanna & "Western, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey Central, represented by the
Lehisrh & "Wilkesbarre Coal Company; tho
'Lehigh Valley, Delaware & Hudson; Erie
and Philadelphia & Reading, ana otner.op-eratlng-
concerns are estimated to have in
their yards in the neighborhood of tha
collieries an amount equivalent to about
15 days' supply for this clty.
"I cannot sneak for other companies,"
.said John Edmonds, sales agent of the
Philadelphia & Reading, "but our stocks
at present, are light. The dealers, x do
llevo,' are' falriy well supplied. I should
think 'they must have at least 30 days'
supply on hand. As to how long the
strike-is likely to last, or what the price
Is likely to climb to Is all conjecture. No
one can tell anything about It."

been sent 20 miles inland along' small

Taking all things into consideration there
seems no 'longer any doubt that the num

mate of 5000 which has been made by
Mayor Jones 'and other tellable citizens
of Galveston.
About 1300 refugees arrived here from
Galveston last night and are being cared

its rehabilitation will be sure and if

Mr. Lasker said that there waB a great

been advanced to $8.
Notwithstanding the fact that theTtum
ber of boats carrying passengers between
Texas City and Galveston has been large
ly increased. It was Impossible yesterday
to leave the city after the early morning
hours, and hundreds of men, women ahd
children, all anxious to depart, suffered
great Inconvenience and hardship and
were after all compejled to sleep upon
the beach at Texas City, waitfrig lor the
morning. There is but one steamboat
plying across Galveston Bay which is able
to carry passengers in any number, and
even this boat is able to make the trip
only with extreme caution on account
the the shallowness of the bay. Yesterday
morning somebody lacked something of
being cautious In the extreme, and the
Lawrence, Jamming her nose In the mud.
remnined aground all day. Her passon
gers were taken off In small hoats, ut
all day long the Lawrence remained hard
and fast aground.
This compelled those, who were unable
to come on the first trip of the Lawrence
to trust themselves to sailboats, and -by
noon a dozen of them, heavily loaded,
started from Galveston for Texas City,
where the fleet was scattered over Gal
veston, Bay by a distance of anywhere
between one mile and 'three miles. The
wind died away utterly. There was not
a puff of air.- The boatSvCould neither go
on to Texas City nor return to Galveston,
and all through the Afternoon they lay
motionless upon the glassy water.- None
of them had more than a meager supply
of water, and no 'food, as the trip ordi
narily does not require above an hour.
The supply of water was soon exhausted,
the sun beat down with severity, and -in
a -short time babies and f children who
were but little else than babies became' 111,
and in many instances tholr mothers were
also prostrated. There was absolutely -no
relief to be had, as the tugs of Galveston
Bay,- which might have given the sloopB

draw too much water to allow of 'their
crossing--the shallow channel. Hour after

were densely packed, were compelled to

, NEW ORLEANS, Sept 14. A special
from Galveston says:
J. W. Maywell, general superintendent,
and J. W. Allen, general freight agent,
,of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway,
'have arrived here for the purpose of con-
-ferring with General Manager Pplk, of
the Gulf, Colorado &' Santa Fe, and Gen

Houston & Henderson Railway, with the
object of combining their efforts for the
reconstruction of one bridge for all rail
ways entering Galveston for the time be

of traffic and the partial restoration of.
business in Galveston. Such a plan, it
is believed, will be adopted.
' "Among the foreign steamers which were
grounded by tha storm on Pelican Flats,
"north of the city, the Norwogian steamer
GVlier and the British steamer Norma are

British steamer Benedict, it is reported,
can be floated without much dlfflcuty. The
British steamer Hilarious and the Kendall

"The Norma, which was carried through
tho railway bridges into the west bay,
and the British steamer Taunton, which
"was carried in a northwest direction 27
miles tip the bay and stranded near Cedar
Point, will, In -all probability, remain as
evidence of the frightful velocity of the

Outside Laborers to Be Talcen to Gal
veston to Conduct the Sani
tary Worlc
AUSTIN, Tex.a Sept. 14. At a confer
ence between Governor Sayers and a com
mltteo from Galveston It was decided that
Instead of looking to the laboring people
of Galveston for work in 'this emergency,
an importation of Outside laborers to the
number of 2000 should be made to conduct
;tbe -sanitary work, while tho. people of
Galveston were given an opportunity of
looking after their own losses and rebuild
ing their own property without giving
any time to the-city-at-large. It Is be
Jieyed that with these 2000 outside la
'borers""Jt will require about four weeks
to clean the 'city of debris, and, In the
meantime, the citizens can.be working on
their own property and repairing dam
age there.
Anothor committee from Velasco re
ported that 2000 people are In destitute
circumstances, beIng'without food, dom
ing or homes. Crops were totally de
stroyed, all farming Implements were
washed away, and the people have noth
ing at hand with which to work In the
fields. A relief committee from the Co
lumbia precinct reported 2500 destitute.
Other sections sent in committees during
the day, and as a result of all these, Gov
ernor Sayers ordered post-haste ship
ments of supplies. x
During the day the Governor received
a large number of; subscriptions, and it
Is estimated., that the total subscription
list to date and at Galveston will reach
$1,300,000'. Governor Sayers states that as
soon as possible he will prepare a list of
subscriptions by states and give it out
Today the Governor ordered a train
load of provisions to be sent from Dallas
to Galveston, and also ordered provis
ions and clothing sent (frora' San Antonio.
Governor Sayre received information
from the Penitentiary "authorities, at the
convict farm on Clemens' plantation, near
Velasco, that 18 convicts had been
drowned or killed during the storm and
two others were badly Injured. Tho Pen
itentiary officials estimate, that the share
farms of the state have been Injured to
the' extent of $100,000.

-rnT-nn-w Rmf 14. According to the
Lourenco Marques correspondent of the
Dally Telegraph, Mr. Kruger Is virtually
a prisoner In ' the residence of the dis
trict Governor. This Is at the instance
of the British Corisul, who protested
against Mr. Kruger using Portuguese ter
ritory as a base for directing his execu
tive affairs. The French Consul has been
forbidden access to Mr, Kruger, as have
also, the latter's own officials. The dis
trict Governor has -notified Herr Pott,
the Netherlands Consul, that he iwno act
ed as a Boer Consular agent at Lourenco

a representative of the Transvaal, which
is now British territory.
KRUGER-'S DESERTION.
Leads Roberts to Iiaue a Proclama
1 tlon to the Boers.
1 LONDON. Sept. 14. Tho following dis
patch has been received at the War Or
flco from Lord Roberts:
'Machadoddrp, Thursday, Sept 13.
Kruger has fled to Lourenco Marques,
and" Botha, has been obliged to give over
the command of tho 'Boer Army tempo
Tarily to Vlljoen. on account of iu-healtn.
in consequence of" thls.'I have circulated
a proclamation as follows:
" 'The late President Kruger, with
Beitz and the archives of the South Af
.rlcan Republic, has crossed the Portu
guese frontier and arrived at Lourenco
Marques, with the view of sailing for Eu
rope at an early date. Kruger has for
mally resigned the position which he held
as President of the South African Re
public, thus severing his official connec
tion with tho Transvaal. Kruger's ac
tion shows .how hopeless, in his opinion,
is the war,, which has now been carried
on for' nearly a year, and his desertion
of the Boer cause should make clear to
his fellow-burghers that It Is useles3,to
continue tho 'struggle any longer.
" It Is probably unknown to the in
habitants of the Transvaal and the
Orange River 'Colony, that nearly 5,000
of their fellow-subjects are now pris
oners, of war. not one of whom will be
released until those now under arms
against us surrender unconditionally.
" 'The burghers must be cognizant of
the fact that no intervention in their
behalf can come from any of the great
powers; and further that the British Em
pire is determined to complete the work
'which has already cost so many lives,
and. carry to ja conclusion the war de
clared against her by the late govern
ments of the Transvaal and the Orange
Free State, a war to which there can be
only one ending.' "
The Gazette today announces that the
Victoria Cross has been bestowed on
Sergeant Arthur Lindsay, of Strathcona's
Horse, for rescuing a wounaea irouy m
tho face of a heavy Boer fire at North
Standerton August 5.
INTENTIONS OF KRUGER.
It Is Said He Will Set Up His Gov
ernment In atozamblque.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14. A dispatch to
the Tribune- from London says:
The Mall's correspondent In Lourenco
Marques- leams""that Mr Krugefc Has re
signed the .Presidency of theTransxaal,
but remains ,a member ,of- the executive.
General Botha Is said to have been so. In
censed afc the cowardly conduct of hl3
forces ,that he has resigned the supreme
command, and Vlijoen Is now Commandant-General.
According to a Lisbon mes
sage to the Express. Mr. Kruger proposes
to set uptho seat of his government at
Mozambique.
News from the seat of war in South
Africa is Indecisive, but It Is clear that
Lord Roberts is making a concentrated
movement upon Komatipoort, and has
left Pretoria Jn order to direct it per
sonally. Ian Hamilton is returning to the
railway from Lydenburg; Polo-Carew 13
pushing east towards Nelsprult; French
is making for Barberton, and Buller ha3
divided both his forces and cut off a
portion of them from communication with
tho commandos between Nelsprult and
Komatipoort. Lydenburg apparently was
abandoned 'as soon as it was captured,
and the British forces are in hot pursuit
of the remnant of the Boer Army, and
driving it eastward to the Portuguese
frontier. These tactics are bold, but in
accordance with Lord Roberts strategy
since February. Komatipoort is tho new
objective point, and when it f3 captured
Lord Roberts will be credited with having
taken possession of the last Dutch rail
way lino and Closed the door into neutral
territory. The work of pacification will
not have been thoroughly worked out,
but the main object will have been se
cured, as was done when Bloemfonteln
and Pretoria were occupied.
Krnj?er Has Moved.
LOURENCO MARQUES, Sept 14. Pres
ident Kruger has removed from the home
of Herr Pott, the Consul of the Nether
lands here, to the residence of the district
Governor.
