WHAT 10 PER CENT INCREASE MEANS Ko Tendency to Any DeaBle-BcaltHK President MlteheU's speech ct Sk&anolcin. SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 9. Interviews with, .prominent coal operators here to day elicited a uniform declaration that no further concessions or modifications of the present offer would be made and that the miners must take It or leave it Just as It stands. They say it is plain and complete and contains all tboy can or will concede. The 10 per cent increase means that every man in the anthracite mines 1b to have 51 10 for the work for which die formerly received $1, the op erators say. The powder item is simply a matter of bookkeeping. Instead of giving the miners 10 per cent increase flat they will have their credit side in creased, say 3 per cent, and from their debit side will be subtracted 7 per cent, or whatever percentage of expenses It is found the difference In the cost of their powder amounts to. The -purpose is sim ply to put an end to the howling about the powder being sold at exorbitant prices. Powder is the basis of the wage scale, it is explained, and to decrease its cost is to Increase the wages. In this region a decrease of ?1 25 in a keg" of powder means a 7 per cen$ decrease in the miners' expenses. Therefore, when he has his expenses reduced 7 per cent he has his wages Increased a like amount. The other 3 per cent will be made up by increasing the allowance per car for cut ting and loading. Where a miner gets $1 a car he will, under the new scale, get $L 03 1-8 a car. His net earnings will be the same whether1 he gets the Increase flat or by figuring on the de crease in powder. The fact that coal is high and that the demands of Individual operators for bet ter allowances will keep it high is sug gested as a reason why those working under the sliding scale should not worry about being Juggled out of their increase. The further fact that the operators do not want strikes and that they realize that the United Mine "Workers' organlza ion is here to stay will, it is pointed out, have a tendency to prevent any double dealing on the part of the operators, even if they were Inclined to do a thing of this kind. All arrangements for tomorrow's big parade and mass meeting are now com plete. Fully 20,000 will be in the parade and it is estimated that 50,000 persons will assemble to hear President Mitchell and ethers speak. The national officers will come here tomorrow and will remain here until after the convention, and pos sibly until the strike is settled. LEFT TO THE MINERS. Mitchell Say the Strike Question Is in Their Hands. SHAMOKIN, Pa., Oct 9. President Mitchell, of the United Mlneworkers, came here today to take part in the labor demonstration, and was welcomed by thousands of striking miners. The elty was profusely decorated, and all busi ness houses were closed at noon. A pa rade was formed with 6000 strikers in line, and after it had finished marching Presi dent Mitchell made .a- speech. He spoke of the enthusiasm displayed by the men throughout the anthracite strike region, and went into the situation as it now stands. In referring to the prospective ending of the strike, he said: "Every other strike that has taken place in the anthracite region has been declared off by your officers. Heretofore when men went on strike they remained out for a time, and then the chief executive or the executive board declared the strike off without consulting the wishes of the strikers. I want to say, as I have said before, that this strike will never end until the miners, through delegates in convention, end it for themselves. We have called a convention, and you are invited to send delegates there. You are Invited to pass judgment on the oper ators' proposition. If you believe that they are In good faith, and if you believe 10 per cent enough, if you believe that they will pay the 10 per cent for a year, then you must decide whether to return to work. If, on the other hand, you reject the offer and continue en strike, John Mitchell will be there to help' you do It. I do not expect that this one strike will eradicate all the wrongs from which you suffer, I do not believe that the accumu lation of 40 years of injustice can be wiped out at once, but I do believe that you have established an organization here that with each succeeding year will give you Improved conditions of employment." LEASERS BECOMING NERVOUS. Fear the Advance in Wage Will Not Be Permanent. WTLKESBARRE, Pa., Oct 9. The lead ers of the United Mlneworkers of this part of the anthracite field do not speak us hopefully tonight of a, settlement of the etrlke by the "Scranton convention as they did yesterday. Some of them are afraid that the offer of a 10 per cent increase In wages, made by the companies, may not last long, and that when the men are back at work for -a. while and the market is pretty well supplied the operators may reduce wages to the old figures. It is only fair to say, however, that not all of the .mlneworkers are of this opinion. There is a. etrong - sentiment prevailing that the companies ere sincere and that the in crease in wages will he' permanent In making the advance the operators did not act in concert, hut as Individuals, so that if the convention Insists upon a definite understanding with the mineowners a week may elapse before the views of the operators can be had. The Susquehanna Coal Company, which is operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad, Willi it is stated, grant the increase. The advance, however, will most likely not be announced until after the men have re turned to work, as the company does not like to hold out the promise of on ad vance In wages as an inducement to re turn. Notices Posted. HAZLETON, Pa., Oct . 8. The A. S. Vanklcle estate, operating the Colleralne and Mlllesvllle collieries, and Calvin. Par dee & Co., owners of the Lattlmer mines, posted notices today offering 10 per cent increase in wages. Four individual oper ators in this region that have .not yet offered the Increase, among them being G. P. Markle & Company, are expected to make the wage concession within the next few days. If they do not, and the miners' convention decides to accept the 10 per oent advance offered, the strike leaders say they will be forced to fall in line. There were no marchers this morning, but the usual crowds gathered in the vi cinity of the collieries -for the purposed or getting the men to retrain from going to work. There were no disturbances re ported. Situation at Willamstown. HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct 9. The indica tions are that the Wllllamstown collieries will have to shut down for lack of hands. Last night there were 350 men out and today 150 more remained away from work. The men are marching at intervals, hut thus far there has been no rioting. Soft Coal Trade Booming:. READING, Pa., Oct 9. Hundreds or railroaders who otherwise would he thrown out of work by the stoppage of anthracite shipments over the Reading Railway are now employed In bringing soft coal from the West. Hundreds of carloads are delivered dally to the com. pany at Harrlsburg and Wllllamsport and rushed to Philadelphia' and Port Liberty. Only 17 cars of hard coal were sent down the road today. 'The average before the strike was 400 cars dally, ' In Panther Valley. MAUCH CHUNK. Pa., Oct. 9. In the Panther Creek Valley today, about WO mlneworkers were out at Coaldale and vicinity. The collerles affected are Nos. 8, 10 and 11, of the Lehigh Coal & Naviga tion Company. The company's officers are doing all In their power to keep thetr men ,at work. The strike leaders, how ever, assert that they will succeed in tying up the region In a day or two. NEWS FROM HONOLULU. Relief Fnad for Galveston The Political Campaign. HONOLULU, Oct 2, via San Francisco, Oct 9. .By the steamship Australia today the City of Honolulu sends $3300 for the aid of the people of Galveston, Tex. The money was raised In a day after a meet ing of the Chamber of Commerce was called and subscription lists were opened. Hawaii's three-cornered political fight Is now fairly started. Republicans, Dem ocrats and Independent Home-Rulers, all having tickets in the field. The Inde pendents have flung to the breeze at their headquarters a banner bearing a picture of King Kamehatneha, the first great Hawaiian monarch who first conquered all the Islands. This is taken as some thing of an appeal to race feeling, the two American parties claiming that It Is another proof that the Hawaiian party Is carrying on an antl-whlte campaign. The Independents will hold their regular nominating convention next Wednesday, when they will put their full ticket In the field. There is no doubt however, about the nomination of R. W. Wilcox for Con gress. -The registration board is having a good deal x trouble In making rulings on dis puted points regarding registering those who wish to vote. Three suits have al ready been brought against the board. In the most Important case the Supreme Court ruled that the men who havo no other homes, than on the inter-Island steamers are' not entitled to register and vote. This deprives over 50 men In Hono lulu of their votes, and a few on the other Islands. The wholesale merchants of Honolulu have entered Into a combination agalnft drummers. They say they do not want drummers sent to the Islands, and by today's mall all the leading, firms of the Pacific Coast are notified that duch Is the sentiment of the Hawaiian firms. The resolutions adopted voicing the de cision carry with them a threat that firms that do not regard the wishes of the firms here will be boycotted In Hono lulu. All the largest local firms are In the compact The drain of money collected by the custom-house here still continues, and local bankers have decided that there ix no way, under the present United States laws, to stop it Every month the custom-house collects from $50,000 to $100,000 and sends It to the mainland for duties, and as it is paid by Honolulu firms, vhe drain on the gold In the country is very heavy. Congress will be asked to relieve the situation by allowing the sending c.t drafts instead ol gold, as is required by the laws now. No news has been received of the miss ing ship Wachusett long overdue from Newcastle, and It Is generally supposed that she Is lost Several vessels that left Newcastle long after the Wachusett have arrived here. 0 Wireless telegraphy still continues to be a .failure here. The widest channel be tween any of the Islands Js only Gl miles, with nothing intervening, while all the other ocean distances It Is necessary to cover are .less than 30 miles. Up to this time, however, the wireless telegraphy has not been able to make the system work. The destruction of forests on the islands is being generally discussed as a cause of the decline In rainfall, and it is proposed by some that the matter be placed In the hands of Congress, unless the local authorities find a way to stop the destruction of timber. F. D. Gamewell, president of the Uni versity of Pekln, is a passenger on the steamship America Maru, arriving here today from the Orient en route to San .Francisco. It was he who had charge of the fortifications during the recent iege at Pekln. President Gamewell Is em phatic in his opposition to the Russian policy of withdrawing from China. He says that such a policy would be suicidal for the powers and would be accepted by most Chinese as proof that the fprelgners had been driven out The Chinese, says Gamewell, would think that those who did go to Pekin only went there to pay tribute to the Imperial Government Rich Ore Fonnd on Lake Creelc. GREENLDAF, Oct 9. Herman Steini hauer, who has devoted a good deal of time, to prospecting hereabouts, has put in a number of weeks in opening a ledge somewhere in the mountains east of Lake -Creek, between here and Deadwood, and' has taken out samples from which he extracts a greater percentage of gold with quicksilver than from the best sam ples he could get from the mines at Bo hemia. He has sent some of the ore to an assay office. The pay streak Is 15 feet wide, arid he feels certain that he has a fortune in sight - . Nevr Telegraph Corns any. DENVER, Oct 9.

C&ang-ea Recommended in the Artil lery'Branch More Land Needed. 1 f r Fortifications. WASHINGTON, Oct 9. It la urged In the Annual report of Major - General Brooke, commanding the Department .of the East at New York, that a pressing necessity exists for the reorganization of the Army on modern lines. "For many years .past," says he, "the general officers of the Army have shown, the necessity for an increase which 'will place the Army on on efficient basis arid enable it, to perform Its duties with credit to itself and to the satisfaction of the Na tion. Events since the commencement of the Spanish war have demonstrated be yond a doubt the necessity for a reorgan ization which will enable this Nation to maintain the position in which it now finds Itself placed, so that in case of war the Army may form the bulwark behind which the volunteer Army may be cre ated, as has always been done In our country byorganizing the people." Referring to the rehabilitation and prog ress of our coast defense, he says that, while it is impracticable t this time to make recommendations regarding the ar tillery posts where the number of men enters as a factor on account of the large foreign drafts. It is not too early now to draw up plans for supporting the coast artillery. It Is not the province of coast artillery, he says, -to act out of fortifica tions, their sphere of operations being limited, and the presence of mobile troops to repel .attacks from the rear and to prevent landing parties from gaining a foothold, is imperative. On that account the vicinity of each post for miles around should be mapped with a view to deter mining the lines of defense before the necessity for their use arrives. General Brooke says he is impressed with the Importance of having all artillery In charge of' coast fortifications stand In the Immediate vicinity of the. guns. He thinks It Is imperative In many cases that more land should be acquired than hitherto has been bought for the erection of fortifica tions. General Brooke says he. found that, while the officers and enlisted men were enthusiastic on matters relating to their profession, military duties ore imperfectly performed, and the Instruction of the men handicapped by the lack of officers. Many batteries and companies have only one of ficer present for duty, and at several points where troops are posted there are no regular duties. ADVERSE REPORT. Army Board Objects to Disappearinff Carriage. ' WASHINGTON, Oct 9.-The Board of Ordnance and Fortifications has been holding a protracted session in Washing ton, and adjourned today, after taking Important action regarding disappearing gun carriages. The board has recom mended to the Secretary of War that no more disappearing gun carriages be made. There has been much contention among Army officers for some time, especially among artillery officers, as to the value of disappearing gun carriages for the for tifications for coast defense. The con sensus .of opinion has been that the dis appearing carriage was good for low sites, but the majority seemed to think that.lt was not best for high sites; The action of the board. If sustained by the Secre tary of War, will be of far-reaching im portance in the future "of coast defenses. somers" goes to sea. Torpedo-Boat Leave New York for Philadelphia NEW YORK, Oct 9.-The United States torpedo-boat Somers left this port today for Philadelphia by the outside route, which, it is hoped, she will be able to travel by , hugging close to the Jersey coast Much interest is manifested in the trip, as this is the first she has made since she was bought from the German Government and brought across the At lantic on the deck of an ocean liner. The Somers was bought as something especi ally fast, but when she arrived here it was found her framework was so weak that It had been badly sprung, and ex amination of her machinery revealed many other defects. She has been un dergoing reconstruction at the Brooklyn navy-yard, and would have made the start Saturday, had It not been found ad ditional repairs were required. The Som ers was too large to go through the canal to Philadelphia, and It has been asserted she Is not seaworthy enough to make the ocean trip.,. She .is in command of Lieu tenant John S. Doddridge, of the Talbot Jadge-A'dvocat'e-General's Report. WASmNG'JXXN, Oct 9.-The annual re port of Judge-Adyocate-General Lemley to the Secretary of the Navy, is in the main made up of a,-renewal of recom mendations heretofore made for the en actment of leglr" ,tlon for the relief of sailors erroneously charged with deser 'sion; compelling civilian testimony before L naval courts; permitting the use of depo sitions before such courts; consolidating examining -and retiring boards, and pro--vidlng a modern system of classification for naval vessels. Emphasis Is laid upon the fact that while such legislation would result 'advaritagoously to the department and jthft service generally, no expense will be involved. . Launching: of Monitor Arkansas.'

Conser vative as well as Liberal, has been caused by the declaration attributed to Mr. Chamberlain in a recent speech, "a seat lost to the Government is a seat sold to the Boers." Mr. Chamberlain writes to the Dally Mail this morning re pudiating the statement and explaining that what he said was a quotation from the Mayor of Mafeklng, "a seat lost to the Government is a ' seat gained by the Boers." The Dally Mail commenting edi torially upon Mr. Chamberlain's commu nication still insists that h6 went too far In view of the fact that "quite a large number of Liberals have consist ently supported the Government'a South African policy." That paper also de clares that "Mr. Chamberlain's tactics will not assist him in his struggle for the Premiership and will arouse uneasiness as to his qualifications for the office." Mr. Chamberlain, speaking this even ing at Stout High Bridge, said: "Great Britain's foreign policy, as I sum It up, Is to remain on friendly terms with every great country In Europe, and something more than friendly terms with the United States." Mr. Chamberlain ridiculed the attempt t)f tho opposition leaders to hold him up as a bogy to foreign nations. "Great Britain's foreign policy," he exclaimed, "Is In the hands of Lord Salisbury and I have not the presumption to meddle with it" BERESFOHD'S STRATEGY. Brilliant Work in Mediterranean Maneuver. NEW YORK. Oct. 9. A dispatch to tho Journal and Advertiser from London says: Lord Charles Beresford has amazed the naval world by the brilliant strategy by which he won the sham battle in the re cent maneuvers of the British fleet In the Mediterranean. His tactics have been pronounced the cleverest In naval annals. The fleet was divided into two parts. Beresford in command of one and Admiral Fisher of the other. Beresford was block aded In the port of Mytllene by torpedo boats, and Fisher's fleet was hovering about and lying In wait outside. Beresford's task was to coal his fleet, get out of the harbor and attack Fisher. It should be remembered that Lord Charles has never been an enthusiast on the subject of torpedo-boats. In fact, he has repeatedly denied its efficiency as an offensive craft. It Is only a few years ago that speaking In the House of Commons on a naval appropriation bill, he asked the Admiralty to furnish an old warship, armed under his directions, of which he would take command with a volunteer crew, raised by himself, and defend It successfully against the attacks of any number of torpedo-boats. His task at Mytllene was therefore pre cisely to his liking. By putting lights on launches so as to' make them resemble ships in the darkness, he decoyed the torpedo-boats away on a false l trail, and with every light on his own warship out, he slipped away to sea with not a vessel touched. Having done this, he misled Fisher's scouts by false signals and caught the hostile fleet entirely unprepared oft the Lemnos. Fisher's squadron was steaming In par allel columns and Beresford maneuvered his ships so skilfully that the Admiral had no opportunity to change his forma tion or to do anything but clear decks for Instant action. Beresford ran his ships in single file In between the lines, enabling him to fight with both broadsides, while each of Fish er's vessels could use but one. The vic tory was so complete and overwhelming that the umpire awarded It on the spot to the dashing hero of the Alexandria bombardment, who ran the Gordon right in under the guns of the Egyptian fort and battered It to atoms at close range. Beresford's daring 3camanshlp and re sourceful tricks In these maneuvers are a startling contrats to the old methods, and stamp him as the cleverest com mander In the British Navy. HOME-COMING OF ROBERTS. He Has Been Anked to Name HI Own Successor. NEW YORK, Oct. 9. A dispatch to the Txibuno from London says: The War Office has not confirmed the report that Lord Roberts will leave South Africa the last week In October. The officials intimate that there are several Important matters unsettled. One point with out doubt is the' succession to the com mand. Officials here are silent and it Is believed that the new Commander-in-Chief has been asked to name his own successor. The choice probably lies be tween General Buller and General Kitch ener, with General Hunter as a substi tute. General Buller, according to the latest dispatches,-is still pressing north In pur suit -of the remnant of the Boer Army beyond Pilgrim Rest. The wits in the military clubs are cracking jokes at his expense, and assert that he Is survey ing the new line for the Cape to Cairo Railway. General Buller has remarkable talents for details of military administration, and this would be most useful in effecting the pacification of the two new colonies and bringing about the restoration of public 'order. General Kitchener Is a man of iron will, who would be stern and relent less in dealing with, lawlessness. His appointment to the chief command would J be welcomed "by Englishmen wno nave grown impatient over the prolonged de lays In the military operations. Buller outranks every one in South Africa ex cept Lord Roberts. Kitchener would re quire promotion In order to succeed Rob erts. Kitchener has made many enemies among officers during the campaign. He has upset the regular 'transport service and has shown no mercy for incompetent officers. His appointment as Adjutant General would be the strongest possible tern would be reformed at Its weakest j point the training and disciplining of the officers. Military men In London arc naturally opposed to a general shaking un -which -would follow his transfer to headquarters in London, and prefer to have him sent to India, or put in com mand In Pretoria. Lord Salisbury has little enthusiasm, but he is known to ad mire Kitchener intensely. Ho sent Kitch ener to South Africa, and may bring him back to London. Premature accounts of the reception of the Colonial soldiers are published, but not with adequate authority. The num ber of" visiting troops is likely to be con siderably less than 6000, and the Guards will probably arrive In advance, following the London Volunteers. Time will be re quired for the selection of a thoroughly representative body of Canadian, Austra lian and South African veterans. Canada will have the largest contingent, and everything will be done to render the re ception memorable. Among the brides of the week Is Lady Constance, who has been helping tha bridegroom In his Lancashire contest for Parliament. The managers of an English Roman Catholic pilgrimage to Rome assert that It Is one of the cheapest excursions on record. One thousand pilgrims will hava a day or two In Paris at the Exposition and five days in Rome, and will be brought back to London. The entire ex pense averages about $33, including lodg ings and meals. Sensational accounts are published of the adventures of two American detect ives in London, who have brought with them an Italian from Paterson, N. J., to Identify the anarchist, the accomplice of Bressi. London police officials are reti cent respecting this American detective raid. They have afways prided them selves on their sagacity of keeping Lon don anarchists under surveillance by means of spies. Boer Seekiner Netv Home. NEW YORK, Oct 9.

Special trains are en gaged to meet the ships at Marseilles and carry them through France to Holland, their motherland, which is the first stop ping place In search for new fortunes. But Holland Is overcrowded, and Is only a temporary asylum. The name America I Is on every lip, and little children bidding good-bye to their playmates speak vague ly of America, as their new home. - Two German ships left here last week. ; carrying 1200 Boers. They wore closely followed by two French ships, with 960 souls from the Transvaal, mostly women and children. All of these belonged to tho better class of Boers, and all were bound for Holland.
