HARRISBUEG. Pa., Oct. 7. A delega tion of Chicago clergymen and business men called upon Governor Stone at the Executive Mansion todr-v. and, urged him to take prompt action to settle the coal strike.

White, S. R. Holden, William D. B. Corwin, Lawrence F. Mc Ginn. James McAndrcws, Dr. J. G. Gray, M. G. Holdln and Dr. C. A. Young. Mr. Hirsch said the situation in the strike region was without parallel In the history of the country and that the peo ple of the West were in sympathy with the movement to effect a settlement be tween the operators and the miners. The party had no suggestion to offer to end the stTike, but simply called upon tho Governor to take such action as In his judgment would bring the trouble 'to an end. Father Dorney said the delegation came as friends of the State of Pennsylvania, to ask the executiveoto advise with them as to the best means of ending the strike. The priest explained that he resided in the stockyards district of Chicago and knows something of the suffering caused by strikes. The coal . strike Is going to cause untold misery among the poor of Chicago and other parts of the country, he said, if It is 'not soon settled.

WILKESBARRE, Oct, 7. There, is a feeling among some of the officials of tho coal 'companies that the mere move of sending all the troops of the state Into the coal region may not have the desired effect of bringing about an early resump tion of tho collieries. An official of one of the largest coal companies In the terri tory Is authority for the statement that an early resumption depends altogether upon where the military place the troops. If Governor Stone's order that "all men who desire to work, they and their fam ilies shall have ample military protoc tlon.V Is literally carried out by Major General Miller, Instead of mobilizing the troops at certain points, then the com panies will be able to make good prog ress in opening the mines. "If the troops are kept in all communities where vio lence and Intimidation are practiced," he said, "there will be no trouble. The diffi culty now Is that, a man goes to work one day under the protection of the sol diers, and the next day after the neigh borhood kas quieted down the troops are sent away, and tho willing workmen are again at the mercy of the lawless ele ment. Men will not risk going to work today when they are not sure they will have protection tomorrow or that their families will be cared for in their ab sence." Several hundred of the 3000 National Guardsmen now in the field are strikers, and they purpose to turn a portion of their pay from the state over to the re lief fund of their fellow workers.

TROOPS NOT MAKING HASTE. Officers Will Give Them Time' to Ar range Privnte Affairs. HARRISBUEG, Oct. 7. General orders placing the entire National Guard ot Pennsylvania on duty in the strike region wero issued today at division headquar ters. The orders designate the location of the three brigades, and all of the state troops will bjf In the field by Thursday. No effort Is being made to get the troops on duty within any special limit, it be ing the desire of the general officers to allow the soldiers to arrange their pri vate, matters before going into the field. Colonel Richardson is directing the ship ments of camp equlppage from the State Arsenal. Major-3eneral Miller has ordered Colonel Elliott, Assistant Adjutant-General of the division, on duty at the Adjutant-General's office In this city, to di rect the movements of the National Guard. The troops will be distributed by regiments over the anthracite regions for the purpose of protecting the nonunion men who desire to work, and to suppress tumults and riots if they should occur.

Barge at Brooklyn Is Robbed of Ten Tons of Coal. NEW YORK. Oct, J. It Is stated' that " less than four days' supply of, coal, re mains for the running of the pumping sta tion of the Brooklyn water works, and unless more coal comes before Thursday or Friday the pumping station may have to close. The gas companies in Brooklyn are all short of coal. Many Brooklyn churches will close If the coal famine continues. A gang of coal pirates is at work in the-narbor and in the future many. .cap tains of tugs and barges will go armed to light the robbers. One barce captain reports that he was robbed of 10 tons of soft coal while on the way from South Amboy, N. J. The captain says he was awakened by men wiia had boarded the barge. They were armed with pistols and he was powerless. They loaded four skiffs and disappeared with their precious cargo. SOFT-COAL FAMINE IN SIGHT. Railroads Have Plenty- of It, but Are Short on Motive PoTver. NEW YORK, Oct, 7. A soft-coal famine, on the heels of the present anthracite coal famine, according to the coal dealers, is now impend ing, and it is likely to strike this city in a few days. While the sidings along the railroads are choked up with thous ands of cars loaded with soft coal, very little of it Is reaching the city, and the price of soft coal Is Increasing day by day. The soft-coal operators, have ap pealed to President Cassatt, of the Penn sylvania Railroad, to try to bring the coal to this city. Scarcity of motive power Is given as vthe cause of the delay in shipment. Prospects are that if the coal strike continues until Winter sets in, the gas companies will have great difficulty in turning out the normal supply. In Man hattan Borough the gao company is manufacturing about 60,000,000 feet of gas a day and is able to so adjust Its planU that either soft or hard coal can be used to advantage. The Brooklyn Gas Com pany is not so situated, however, and Is buying all the anthracite available. Chicago Acts for Consumers. CHICAGO, Oct. 7.

BRITISH 3IINERS VOTE AID. Federation "Will Send $5000 to Strik ers in America. LONDON, Oct. 7. The Miners' Federa tion of Great Britain, In session at South port today, voted ?5CO0 from the central district for the relief of the striking American miners, and adopted a resolu tion, in favor of the executive board of the different districts making contribu tions for the same purpose Benjamin Plckard, M. P., the president of- the federation, referred to the length of the American strike and said the miners had seen for some time thit there was bound to be a collision. The struggle for Independence In America was sim ilar to the fight experienced In this country. Mr. Mitchell, to whom all hon or was due, had done his best to remedy things in the mining world and although the miners had linded In trouble, a foundation was being laid for the freedom of trades In the United States. The owners were cornered, the speaker thought, and the men were right in refusing to leave the matter to be decided by the law courts. AT THE HOTELS. THE, PORTLAND. Miss May Forbes, H C Ewlng.

It is not because Pyramid Pile Cure la so expensive that many people decline to give it a trial, but because they find it too great a tax on their credulity to be lieve uiat the published letters bearing testimony to the merit of this remedy aro genuine and bona fide; especially to those who have realized the suffering Incident to piles is It Incredible that anyone who has been afflicted 25 and SO years with the worst forms, of protruding and bleeding piles should be cured by the application of a simple remedy, when their pKy&lclaa has assured them that the only relief ia in a surgical operation. This Is rightfully viewed with dread by all those afflicted, as It means at the least a great shock to the nervous system, with more than a possibility of utter collapse and death; ia the majority of cases, too, .there to a re turn of the complaint, owing to the fact that the cause is not removed. The proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure agree to forfeit $1000 to anyone who will show a single published testimonial to be not genuine and unsolicited; this latter feature Is most gratifying, inasmuch as these letters are . written solely out of gratitude, and with the hope that those who are afflicted as the writers have been, may learn that relief is at hand, at comparatively trifling cipense. Pyramid Pile Cure is for sale by druggists at 50 cents a package, or will be mailed by the makers to any address upon receipt of price. Mr. William LIchtenwalter. head of the largest, printing house in Canton, Ohio, says: "It I3 with the utmost pleasure and satisfaction that I can say I believe I am cured of protruding and bleeding piles, after suffering more than 25 years. I have been in bed for two weeks at a time. I have not suffered in the least for over a year, and I used only three 50-cent boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure. I advise every person suffering with this distress ing and. painful complaint to give this remedy a trial. I have ev.ery confidence in It." Write the Pyramid Drug Co..
