PHlIiAIDBIiPHIA, Sept. 23 Tho coal
strike remains unsettled, Reports of a
conference of .mine operators and of lead
ing officials of the coal-carrying railroads
Trere plentiful. Beyond the general state
ment that the principal point under dis
cussion WES' the advisability or practi
cability of granting- the mine-workers a 10
per cent advance In Twuges, very little of
the details of the meeting could be
learned. The operators generally ex
pressed 'the opinion that the" Increase
could not be granted, and the operating
expenses met. unless there -was &n ad
vance In the price of coat The larger
operating companies, however, took rather
a hesitating view, of the proposals to ln
cease further the price of anthracite, con
tending that the competition of bitumin
ous coal was now too sharp.
President Mitchell, of the United Mlne
workers, is reticent on the general ques
tion of accepting a 10 per cent Increase
without other concessions, and declined
to be interviewed on that point. Mean
time, the strike leaders are continuing
their efforts to Induce the working miners
to Join In the strike. Quiet prevailed to
day throughout the mine region.
All eyes were turned toward New York
In expectation of some important an
nouncement from there.
President Qassatt, of the Pennsylvania
Railway Company, was asked whether
he had anything to say wdth reference to
the statements as to the settlement of
the strike. Mr - Cassatt replied that he
had read the statements, but that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company had not
been a party to the negotiations referred
to. The company was so small a factor
In the anthracite trade, he said, that the
treat anthracite-carrying companies could
act without reference to it. Mr. Cassatt
said that in all such matters it had been
the uniform policy of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company throughout its entire
existence to deal only with its own em
ployes directly, and it had always found
them quite capable of presenting their own
case and of protecting their Interests in
the discussions which, occurred. Access
was always easy by any of its employes
desiring to present any such matter to the
executive officers, and the officers of this
company were firm in the belief that It
was wise to adhere to their uniform policy
In the present Instance, believing such a
course to be for the best interests of both
employer and employed. In saying this,
Mr. Cassatt added he had no desire to
criticise the acts of any other company
whose officers thought some other course!
more conducive to its Interests.
MITCHELL IS WAITING.
Believes the Miners Would Do Well
to Take the Increase.
HAZLETON, Pa., Sept. 28. Notwith
standing the rumors of settlement and
of concession upon the part of the opera
tors, there was no change In the great
coal strike situation here today. It was
probably the most inactive day that Pres
ident Mitchell and his official staff have
spent since the strike began. That Pres
ident Mitchell was waiting f of' informa
tion from New York cannot be denied,
as he intimated several times during the
-day that something might develop be
fore rilgfht. In sthe. forenoon he had two
long conversations ,overthe long-distance
telephone, .and, between. 4 tarid 5 o'clock
he was' at' the -wire f or.morV than half an
nour To whom he talked he declined
to state. When he was pressed to say
something on the general strike situation,
he said:
"This has been the greatest Industrial
contest between labor" land capital" in
the history of America. If the 10 per
cent increase mentioned in the newspa
pers is correct, -while far from satis
factory. It is the greatest victory ever
achieved by organized labor, and won
under the most ..adverse circumstances.
I, of course, have nothing to say as to
what action will be taken as to the ac
ceptance or rejection of any proposi
tion. This must be determined by the
whole body of anthracite miners them
selves. Our organization will not make
the mistake which has wrecked many
other organizations of assuming to deter
mine through its officers the happiness
or misery, the weal or woe of the 500,003
men, women and children dependent upon
the anthracite coal industry for a liveli
hood." In discussing the reported 10 per cent
advance offered the men by, the operators
Mr. Mitchell said:
"Under the sliding scale such an In
crease would practically amount to noth
ing. What the men would gain in one
day they might lose the next."
By the sliding scale is meant that the
wages are fixed according to the maTket
price of coal. Jf there is an advance in
the price the miners share in it, and
should there be a decrease the miners
correspondingly share such a decrease.
Quietness continues to prevail through
out the whole Lehigh Valley region. J.
S, Wentz & Co.'s colliery at Hazlebrook
shut-down today, a body of 100 men hav
ing marched from Pree Land to that
place and induced the men working In the
Wentz colliery to quit. A large parade
of miners from the surrounding towns
was j to be held In Hazleton tomorrow,
but 'the Mayor .refused to permit it to
take place. He would give no' reason, but
it is believed he took this step to avoid
disturbances
CONFERENCE AT WILKESBARRE.
Coal, Operators Considered the Pro
posed Terms of Settlement.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept. 28. An im
portant meeting of the coal operators of
the Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys
was held at the office of the Lehigh Val
ley Coal Company in this city today. All
the representatives of the big coal com
panies with collieries in this section were
present. The only individual coal pro
ducers present were Coxe Bros. A La
throp, general superintendent of the Le
high Company, the chairman of the com
mittee of the coal operators in the Lack
awanna district, presided. When the con
ference was over several operators were
asked for opinions, but they were very
reticent. Superintendent Lathrop said:
""We discussed a scheme of advancing
the wages of all the men throughout the
region at least 10 per cent. The powder
question was also discussed but we are
not prepared to give out any information
regarding our deliberations on the sub
ject." From .another reliable source it was
learned that the presidents of the coal
companies in New Tork sent a draft of
the proposed settlement of the strike to
their representatives here, with Instruc
tions to meet in conference and discuss
whether It would be advisable to' make
terms with the strikers on the basis
s"tated. This Involved a great deal xf
labor and caused endless discussion. Some
of the superintendents thought the in
crease could not be granted without loss
or an advance In the price of coal. The
president of one of the blsr comDanies in
New Tork, who was called up by long-
distance telephone lor ms TJews on this
point, is said to nave" stated that he did
not think an increase In the price of
coal could be entertained. Bituminous
coal is too sharp a competitor now, and
an Increase in anthracite would be to the
"advantage of the bituminous article. The
conference was asked to examine Into
tb cost of mining coal and see If there J
could not be a saving made somewhere
in operating expenses. It is reported that
the .representatives of tha Lackawanna
Company, after going over the operating
expenses of their mines in this district,
were of the opinion that they could stand
the increase. Prom what has been
learned, the operators were not asked to
oppose the granting of a reduction in the
price of powder, but there was a strong
feeling- expressed against an out and out
recognition or the miners' union. A sten
ographic report of the meeting was des
patched to New Tork in charge of a spe
cial messenger.
HAIOTA'S OTTEREST IN IT.
The Central Figrare in the Jfegotia
tioss for a Settlement.
ECRANTON, Pa., Sept. 28. Operators
here admit that Senator Hanna is the
central figure in the negotiations for a
settlement of the strike, and while they
profess to be at sea as to the details,
they are confident that he knows before
hand what will "be acceptable to the
miners, and that whatever conditions he
has exacted or is exacting from the coal
men in New Tork will be nothing less
than what will be fully satisfactory to
the miners. This confidence is height
ened by a generally credited story that
the delay in issuing the strike order was
to give President Mitchell time to in
terest Senator Hanna in the efforts to
effect a settlement.
Nothing will be given out by the local
operators as to what transpired at the
Wilkesbarro conference today, further
than that they discussed the proposed
settlement. Action on their part Is not
called for, they say, and if they are
considered in the matter at all, it will
only be out of courtesy. "Where New,
Tork leads we must follow," one ofi
them declared.
The strikers here arte jubilant over
the new turn of affairs, and will gladly
second any reasonable concessions by
way of reconciliation. John Germyn was
the only operator found willing to be
quoted in the settlement matter. He
said it was Mark Hanna who was en
gineering the settlement, and that he
(Germyn) did not approve of allowing
politics to Interfere, no matter how much
the politicians had at stake. "It Is. use
less to kick, though," he added. "Those
New Tork fellows have the power. We
must simply fall in line."
A Ifevf Yorlc Conference.
NEW TORK, Sept. 2& Nothing could
be learned at the New Tork office of the
various anthracite coal railroads today to
indicate that the miners' strike was any
nearer a settlement than it was yester
day. President Truesdale, of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna & Western, who said
yesterday that negotiations for ending
the strike were in progress, said today
that he had nothing whatever to give out
concerning the situation.
John Markle, one of the most prominent
of the Independent operators, arrived here
today from Hazleton, It is said the ob
ject of his visit is to take part in a con
ference of operators to be held at the of
fice of J. P. Morgan & Co. At the Mor
gan, banking-house it was denied that a
meeting of the Independent mlneowners
was to be held there. No member of the
firm was willing to be quoted on any
phase of the strike situation today.
Troops Mar Go Home Soon.
SHENANDOAH, Pa., Sept 28. Sheriff
, Toole late this afternoon came up from
Pottsville and held a long conference
with General Gobln at the latter's head
quarters. His trip is said to nave been
caused by the reports that the strike
was approaching a settlement. While
nothing definite could be learned of what
transpired during the consultation, It is
understood that the General and the Sher
iff discussed the question of removing the
troops. So far as can be learned tonight,
the soldiers will remain here tomorrow
and Sunday, but how long after Is not
known. Adjutant-General Elliott, chief
of staff of the division, after an inter
view with General Gobin, said he felt
.confident, that the strike Is nearing a set
tlement, and the necessity of the troops
would soon be obviated.
Strike Will Cease Gradually.
NEW YORK Sept. 23. The Herald 'to
morrow will say:
One of the men who has participated
In the settlement of the anthracite coal
miners' strike and Is familiar with all
the facts and immediate circumstances,
said in an interview last (Friday) night:
"The rumor of, negotiations looking to
the settlement of the strike are untrue.
My belief Is that the strike will come
to an end sometime next week. It will
not be ended by a blare of trumpets or
by sweeping general orders, but by the
men going quietly to work In colliery
after colliery, day after day, at the 10
per cent advance."
"Prices for anthracite coal in this city
have today dropped 50 or 75 cents per
ton, indicating that the end is In sight.
OFFERED TO HUNTINGTON.
He Declined the Presidency of the
Southern Pacific.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 28. The Ex
aminer wljl say tomorrow:
"The latest gossip in Southern Pacific
circles Is that James Speyer, Charles H.
Tweed and D. O. Mills, as a special com
mittee of the directorate, have offered H.
E. Huntington, the presidency of the com
pany, but that he has declined It on the
ground that his duties as first vice-president
of the road, together with the work
of looking after the large fortune left
him by his uncle will more than occupy
his time. The officials who are indulging
in quiet talk of this character assert that
H. E. Huntington does not want an out
sider as president His particular candi
date for the place Is Third Vice-President
J. C. StubSa. He also wants, it is said,
Edwin Hawley, of New Tork, to succeed
C P. Huntington as president of the Pa
cific Mall."
Leander Broke Two Records.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 28. World's rec
ords for motor-paced half-mile and the
last three miles of a five-mile race for
amateurs were broken at Newby OvaJ to
night by George Leander, of Chicago. In
the five-mile race for the Western cham
pionship he had as competitors Orlando
Weber, of Milwaukee, and Willis Coval,
of Indianapolis, Coval dropped out after
two miles and a half had been run.
Weber got enough of It at the three miles,
though he finished well. Leander rode
circles around both and finished in
7:59 2-5, close to his pace, a lap ahead of
Weber. Following this, Leander was sent
for "an exhibition half-mile against thg
world's record of 45 4-5. and cut 1,2-5- sec
onds off it finishing in a wonderful burst,
of speed in 0:44 2-5.
Georgia Youths Fougrht With .Pistols
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept 28. After a quar
rel which had extended over two weeks,
two young men of prominent families
of "East Point, a suburb of Atlanta, met
today and fought with pistols. One of the
men, Sheffield Harrington, was shot in
four places, and the other, Walter Hud
son, was wourtded once. Both are be
lieved to be fatally wounded. Hudson, it
is alleged, was In love with Harrington's
sister, and there was a report that they
were to be married. The report was ac
cepted as true for a time, but finally'
Hudson denied the truth of the rumor. A
few days ago the young lady left for
Waynesboro. Harrington said at that
time if Hudson did not go there and
marry his sister he would kill him. Mat
ters stood In this position until today.

A" REST OP TWO WEEKS
"NO IMMEDIATE IH3VHW&FMBNTS
EXPECTED IN WASHINGTON.
Prince Chine's Attitude The Pro
posed Blodca.de of Chinese Ports
by Russia.
WASHINGTON, Sept 28. The State,
Department has not been advised offi
cially of any of the events of more or
less importance which are said to have
occurred in China, according to various
European reports, within the past 24
hours. If Tuan has been degraded and if
Russia contemplates a blockade of the
Chinese naval ports, the department does
not know the facts. It has let it be
known to the Chinese Government that
Tuan's promotion would be unwelcome to
this Government, but it has not yet been
informed of the results of that represen
tation. Respecting the statement that
Chlng has been discovered to be a con
tributor to the Boxef cause, it is said that
all the Information that the department
has been 'able to secure touching Chlng a
personality went to show his unvarying
friendliness for the foreigners, and upon
that, record he was accepted as a compe
tent envoy.
The officials declined to say whether or
not the instructions to Minister Conger
have gone forward yet, but It is admitted
that the Minister is fully advised by this
time as to the State Department's policy.
It is said, i however, and the statement
m'ay'be significant, that no developments
in the Chinese situation of importance are
expected within the next two weeks at
least
As for the rumored Russian blockade,
as there Is no statement to the effect
that it is to be preceded by a declaration
of war, it is assumed the blockade pro
posed comes under the designation in in
ternational law of "pacific blockade."
A pacific blockade Is considered some
thing of an anomaly, and though Its jus
tification is not recognized by some writ
ers of International law, It has been re
sorted to on several occasions during the
past century, and the majority of writers
now recognize it as a measure of con
straint only short of war. It has been In
stituted sometimes by joint action of sev
eral powers, sometimes of a single power,
In some cases against all vessels and in
other cases against only the vessels of
the nation concerned.
The first pacific blockade ever Instituted
was in 1827. when the coasts of Greece,
then nominally subject to Turkey, were
blockaded by the English, French and
Russian squadrons.
When Formosa was blockaded by
France, in 1884, the blockade was intend
ed to Include neutral vessels as liable to
capture and condemnation, notwithstand
ing that France had not assumed the at
titude of a belligerent. This position was
assumed because France decided to con
centrate coal at Hong Kong. England
refused on this occasion to admit that
under the circumstances France had the
right to capture and condemn neutrals.
In 1897, when the Europeon powers
blockaded Crete, the ships of the neutrals
were allowed to enter and discharge car
goes, provided they were not intended for
the use of the Greek troops in the in
terior. Previous to that, In 1887, the In-i
stltute de Droot International adopted a
declaration to the effect that a pacific
blockade was only permissible on condi
tion that vessels under foreign flags could
freely enter blockaded ports, and that
vessels of the offending nation which
might be sequestered when the blockade
ceased should be restored to their owners
without compensation.
The United States resorted to the ex
pedient of the pacific blockade three days
prior to the declaration of war with
Spain; when, by executive order, certain
of the Cuban ports were blockaded. .
K- the report from St Petersburg should
prove to' be correct, the supposition is
that, as It is based on the alleged activ
ity of the Chinese fleet, the blockade
rou)d be directed against- Chinese ports
where there are naval stores drydocks
or coaling stations. There are but six
of these ports on the Chinese coast not
within the spheres of foreign powers,
namely. New Chwang, where there Is a
mud dock; Taku and Tien Tsln, where
there are Chinese Government docks and
yards; Shanghai and Foo Chow, and
Amoy. where there Is a granite dock
owned by the Chinese Government.
PREPARING FOR WAR.
Germans Talcing: Out Life Insurance
Policies.
NEW TORK, Sept 28. That the officers
and men In the XJerman Army are firm
In the belief that war is imminent -between
Germany and China Is reflected In
the unusual number of applications whioh
have been made to a life Insurance com
pany In this -city for policies on their
lives. Hundreds of applications have bean
received through a Berlin agency. Tho
process Of issuing these policies for risks
which have "been proved acceptable was
begun several days ago by one company,
and ai large corps of clerks has since
been employed night and day preparing
the policies to be sent abroad. Informa
tion which came from Berlin was of such
a character that the declaration of war
was believed to be close at hand.
With each application there was a re
quest that it should be issued at once and
the. risk made binding. The request was
also made to have the policies sent to
Germany as speedily as possible. In or
der to do this extra clerks were set to
work.
Suicide of Kang Yl.
NEW YORK, Sept. 28. From reliable
Chinese sources of information comes tho
statement that Kang TI, the notorious

dor, and to have participated in the de

A Powerful Remedy for Disease
66
. J. B. Potter,
"Fifteen years ago I had to give up business on account of poor health. 1 was
suffering from a number of old chronic diseases and had complete nervous pros
tration, in 1891 i commenced taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon found
that i was getting the better of my complaints. I continued using it until 1 was
restored to good health. Believing that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure, I take the Compound in the spring and fall, and it keeps me well
Paine's Celery Compound has made almost a new man of me, and I have gained
twenty-eight pounds of good, solid flesh and blood, thanks to its use."
