The excitement over tho commencement of, work yesterday wore off somewhat and there was more work and less talk. The nonunion men, despite what may bs said to the contrary, arc slowly being displaced in many of the mines and tho old employes are taking their places. The Lackawanna Company continues to lead In production. Thtre are two reasons for this. First the mines arc In good condition, apd there Is less friction be tween the district superintendents and the men who have returned to work. The work of clearing up those mines that aro filled with debris from falls is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible, and the fact that they are not in readi ness to open Is a great disappointment to the mlneowners. Will Tnkc Union Men Bnclr. Ex-Representative M. B. Williams, one of the largest Individual operators In the Wyoming region, said his mines would not be In readiness to resume before next week, but he would ta"ke back all his old employes, Including steam men. because they had served him faithfully in the past The trouble with 'the Individual operators in the Lehigh region is expected to blow over In a day or two, and it Is said here on good authority tonight that all the collieries in the Lehigh and Schuyl kill regions that aro In condition to mine will resume next Monday, and that all the union miners will be re-employed. ThG mine inspectors are vigilant, and they have refused to give permits to the start ing up of mines where the superintendent cannot furnish satisfactory proof that the underground workings are perfectly safe Mitchell Continues Reticent. President Mitchell continues reticent and refuses to be quoted on any move ment made by tho operators either re garding the treatment of old employes' or the advanced price of coal. The evidenca which he will present to the arbitration commission Is now being arranged In sys tematic form. When Mr. Mitchell was asked today regarding the published re- nort that there was some doubt whether ne woujq De permmeu 10 upyear uauiu the commission on behalf of tho miners, he said that he presumed the miners could select any counsel they saw fit to present their case before the commission. Presi dent Mitchell pledged himself before the miners' convention held In this city the beginning of the week to present the case of the union miners before the arbitration board. Mr. Mitchell has received a call to Washington and will leave here Sunday afterncon. Stanley Mecalley, a Lithuanian miner, was enticed into a house occupiod by one of his countrymen In this city last n;ght, and after being stripped of his clothing was beaten most unmercifully over his body with a heavy rubber hose. He made his escape from tho house more dead than alive. Ho was nocused of having "scabbed" during the strike. Today six men were arrested, charged with . being implicated in the assault. IMPORTS ARE SCARCE. All the MineK About Scrnnton In- crease Working Force. SCRANTON. Fa., Oct. 4. All of the mining companies in this region reported today that large additions were made to their working forces. The imported work lngman was a decidedly minus quantity today. Superintendent Rose, of the Dela ware & Hudson Company, which operates 30 plants, said he did not know of a sin gle "Import" still In the company's em ploy. Other superintendents said very few remained. The few "Imports" still remaining are those who have been hoarding in Scranton, and who have been taken to and from work In trains. After tomorrow, they will be put to the well nigh Impossible task of securing boarding houses in the mining towns In which they worked, as tho coal companies will cut oft the work trains Monday. This. It is believed, will bo as effective In driving away these men as was the doing away with the commissary department In forc ing out others who were being cared for within the collieries' stockade. The com panies are not dismissing any nonunion men, but the most careful Inquiry falls to disclose a single Instance of strenuous effort on the part of any company to force an "Import" to remain In the com pany's employ. The fact that the Imported men have quit the coal regions made possible the order of Governor Stone, directing that the soldiers be withdrawn "as fast as the conditions would permit." Sheriff Schmidt went to Wllkesbarre to night and told General Gobin that he wa3 satisfied to reassume the responsibility of taking, care, of Lackawanna County from now on. The Sheriff had had inter views with coal company superintendents and "found-that they were of the opinion that troops would not be needed here any longer. ' MIXERS VOTE TO STAY OUT. c .

If we have room for them, and they com mitted no acts of violence during the strike, they will betaken back, with the understanding that the nonunion men must not be molested. Every man who struck is considered by us as having left our employ, and that Is why wo will not resume operations by permitting the men to return "to work In a body." At Sllverbrook colliery, operated 'by J. S. Wentz & Co., the men must also make applications as Individuals before opera tions are resumed. Fecllnjr of Unrest in One District.

Senator Cullom, chairman of the foreign relations committee of the Senate, sees no cause for concern over .the failure of the Danish government to ratify the treaty affirming-the sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States. "We will eventually buy the islands," says he, "and we will pay no more than the price mentioned In the present treaty, $5,000,000."

HAWAII IN BAD SHAPE. Indian Convention Speaker Says Legislation Has Been Unwise. MOHONK LAKE, N. Y., Oct 21. The Mohonk Lake Indian conference opened to day 'with an address by John Seger, who has been superintendent of an agency ochool in Oklahoma since 1872. Mr. Seger said the recent revival of the sun dances among the. Cheyennes and other tribes has had a demoralizing effect, promoting Idle ness, profligacy and other evils. He thought the dances should be prohibited Rev. Dr. Twombley. who has been resident of Hawaii for some time, ad dressed the conference on the present sit uatlon In those Islands. He said the con ditions there were dark and. depressing, The times are hard, owing to unwise and demagogic action of the local legislature, dominated by the home-rule party. Crime, drunkenness. Idleness and other vices were on the increase. Dr. Douglass Blrney who has been a pastor in Honolulu for several years, said the only hope for the future lay In a wise restriction of the suf frage, the Introduction of Chinese labor upon the sugar plantations and a reform of the Judiciary. The worst elements in Hawaii today, he declared, were the low-down Americans carpet-baggers, adventurers and other scum from the states, who had drifted there In recent years. Some of these men had obtained Federal appointments In the judiciary and other offices, and had brought shame and scandal upon the ad- minIstratlon of law and justice. Added Beautiful I find that PEARL INE is the best soap powder I ever used. I soak my clothes over ight, and rub them out next morn ing with little labor, and my clothes are -beautiful and white. Mrs. Rev. J. H. D. One of the Millions. 679 to ,thls element were the deserters from ships, professional .criminals and. many "ne'er-do-wells' from the states, who had come there since annexation, but who were now voters. The dominance of elements like thesa in the politics and Legislature of the Island constitutes one of the gravest perils of the situation," said Mr. Twom bley. A limit upon the enfranchisement seemed to be absolutely imperative if the local government was ever to be adminis tered on a wise, honest and economical basis. Another danger was that the In terests of Hawaii would be put more and more in the background in the future colonial policy of the United States, or subordinated to other Interests, which were antagonistic. An address by Rcv Douglas BIrnle, who has been a pastor In Honolulu for several years, followed. He confirmed what Dr. Twombley had said in regard to the evils arising from an ignorant, corruptible and Irresponsible vote, which had given an op portunity to unscrupulous politicians. He drew a picture of the conditions In the Islands, and said that the only hope for the future lay in awlse restriction of the suffrage, the Introduction of Chinese labor upon the surrounding plantations and re form of the judiciary. Ho said that the native population had been reduced to about S0.O00. and was rapidly dying out and would soon disappear entirely. Friends Church Honor Oregon Men. INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 24.

Catarrh In its various farms is a Na tional disease, and the fact that nearly everybody suffers from it more or less leads many to neglect Its proper treat ment Nisal catarrh is a common cause of headaches, destroys sense smell, and If neglected reaches the throat causing impairment and sometimes total loss of voice. Bronchial catarrh leads easily to consumption. Catarrh of stomach and liver are very serious and obstinate trou bles, while it is now generally admitted that catarrh Is the most common of all causes of deifness. All of the more serious forms of ca tarrh begin with nasal catarrh, the local symptoms being a profuse discharge, stoppage of nostrils, irritation and fre quent clearing of the throat, sneezing, coughing and gagging. Tho old style of treatment with, douches. Inhalers, sprays, salves, etc.. simply give temporary relief, and every one who has used any of them knows how useless they are, and their Inconvenience Is such that very few hive the time or patience to continue their use. A radical cure of catarrh can only be obtained from a treatment which re moves the catarrhal taint from the blood, because no one will .now dispute that citarrh Is a constitutional or blood dis ease, and local applications can have no effect except temporarily to relieve local symptoms. A new remedy which has been remark ably successful in curing catarrh 13 a pleasant tasting tablet which Is taken In ternally and acts upon the blood and mu. cous membranes. It is composed of antiseptic remedies like red gum, blood root and similar cleansing specifics, which eliminate the catarrhal poison from the system. Tho tablets, being pleasmt to the taste, are dissolved In the mouth, and thus reach the throat, trachea and finally the stomach and entire alimentary canal. They are sold by druggists everywnero under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets. - If desired, when there Is much stoppage of the nose, the tablets may be dissolved In warm water and used as a douche In addition to Internal use, but a douche is not at all necessary. A few dissolved In the mouth dally will be sufficient. Dr. AInslee says: "The regular dally use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, taken Inter naUy, will cure the whole catarrhal trou ble without resorting to the Inconvenience of a douche or an Inhaler." They seem to give a healthy tone to the whole mucous membrane, and It Is really remarkable how soon they will clear the head and throat of the unnatural and poisonous catarrhal secretion. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is undoubtedly the safest, most palatable and certainly the most efficient and convenient remedy for any form of catarrh.
