DISTURBANCE THREATENED Fsrelta Comtrlei Feel Effect f Strike- Coal Famlse la Qermur Worse Thai Before Striken Caa tiooed to Behave. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 15.- The much-talked-of strike of the anthracite mineworkers in thecoal regions of Penn svlvania, under the auspices of the United Mineworkers of America, which affects about 143,000 union and non-un Ion workers, was practically begun to day. and reports received from various sections Indicate that on Monday morn ing, when the strike officially begins, according to the strike order Issued by President Mitchell, of the minework ers' union, very few of the collieries will be in operation. Just how many men will obey the strike order can only be conjectured. Luzerne. Lackawanna. Schuylkill, Car bon and Northumberland counties, where the most Important coal work ings are, presage a struggle between the operators and -.heir men that many fear may lead to disturbances and per haps worse. A special from Haxelton, Pa., gays: Judging from the best information ob tainable. It Is probable that about 60 per cent of the 141,000 miners employed In the anthracite coal rlslds. will lay down their tools tonight. Should the number fall under 50 per cent, the men will be disheartened. If 60 per cent go on strike thsre will be a fighting chance for both miners and operators, with the latter holding an advantage. If the workers display a strength ap proximating 80 per cent, they may see speedy victory. But the Indications would seem to point to a failure to get out expected numbers, especially in this district, and to collisions between the union and non-union elements as a consequence. the anthracite coal miners' strike be of prolonged duration It Is possible that foreign countries will feel Us effects as seriously as they vill be felt in this country, if not to a greater degree. The National Association of Manufac turers is almost daily receiving in quiries from abroad which indicate how urgent is the demand in Europe for American coal. The letters are from coal merchants -who want this country's fuel to supply their regular trade and from business men who see la the scarcity of coal on the continent an op' portunity to engage in a profitable bus lness. The National Association of Manufacturers sends all communica tions of the kind to mine operators and shlrpers, bringing buyer and seller promptly together. Within the past few days inquiries have been received from Glasgow, Dus seldorf. Paris, Berlin and Zurich re garding the prices and facilities for fur nishing American coal. S. V7.

Gr. mans", writes as follows to the National Association of Manufacturers: "The coal famine In Germany contin ues and is much worso than before; the coal trust has raised Its prices on new contracts for coal, coal briquettes (coin pressed blocks) and coke. The price for coke now Is 24 marks per metric hun dred weisht (110 pounds English) as acrulnst 1 ii tnnrlra luvlpa mnnth. atr.f t . . ... .... and. as the syndleat? cannot fill more 1 than abJut 60 per cent of the orders. German wh.-Lsale dealers In coke and industrial works using It will have to procure the balance from foreign sourc es, although the price may le much higher." Calvin Pardee, who has been a coal operator for 2S years and is at the head of Lattlrmr & Harwood collieries in the Lehigh region of Luxerne county, expressed the opinion In an Interview that the demands made by United Mine Workers are absurd and that a suffl- I eient number of collieries can be kept running ta break the force of the strike, no matter how long it lasts, while the miners will gain absolutely nothing in the end. "There !s no controversy between my men and myself." said Mr. Pardee. "As far as I know few If any of them probably not more than 50 belong to this association, and there are 1C)0 men in the two collieries. 'The leaders must naturally do some' thing to maintain their positions. As to tho union supporting the strikers I thin): that it Is a false hope and that is th sad part of it. It simply means on the part of the men, defeat: It means suffering for their families. They do not stand the slightest chance of success, no matter how long they hold out.' Nw that the coal market Is face to face with a strike In the upper anthra cite region, the answer to the question as to whether the miners in the Schuyl kill district will strike sympathetically Is anxiously awaited. Should the trou ble not extend to the Schuylkill mines. no grive col famine Is to be feared though the collieries there could fully meet th? normal demand . Speaking of the stocks of coal on hand in the Reading Company's distri buting depots. Vice-President Hendir son said that there are 100.000 tons at Port P.ichmond. The very heaviest shipments from that port have never exceeded that amount in a single month While there was no change In the circular prices for coal at wholesale at the mines yesterday, the indications were strong that an Increase Is to be expected In the next few days. While orders for delivery in the next few days were taken at the regular prices in this city, some dealers took advantage of the brisk demand and obtained as high as fifty cents a ton advance on coal for Irrirmrdlate delivery. At the Read ing offices It was stated that they are accepting orders at the circular prices and that no advance has yet been asked. SHAMOKIN. Pa., Srpt. 13. At a meeting of the executive board of dis trict No. 9, at this place last night, a proclamation was Issued to the miners of Northumberland, Schuylkill, Colum bia and Dauphin counties, advising tht-m to remain home next Monday, obey the law. avoid the use of intoxica ting llauors and not to bcomt Involved In quarrels of any description. The clergy, business men and pub lic at large are asked to aid In the fight against the operators. The men were advised to be very careful when solici ting miners to refrain from work and also advised that no one shall be co erced. VESSELS NOW AT NOME.

Hearn," of the British ship Genista, finished loading a cargo of wheat ami went to look fir sailors to man his ship for Eng- land. , He applied to the sullor boarding j house firm of Sullivan. Grant Broth ers and MeCarron for sailors, but ;helr terms were considered too high and the captain decld?d to secure a erew In San Kranrlsco. He made arrangements fur men to come here from Sun Fran cisco, but he claims that Grant and MeCarron went to San Francisco and prevented the sailors from coming. Upon this state of facts the follow ing cablegram was sent tonight to the Liverpool Shipowners' Association, which will notify the Shipowners' As sociation of Clyde and London: "Orealla Genista loaded; require 13 men.

Th'! legal phase of the matter was touched upon wh'-n Grant Is reports! to have said: "If we can't get the.e Judges to do as we want, we will have Judges that will." 'This abuse Is .setting to be a heavy burden on the business of this port," said Walter J. Burns, resident part ner nf Balfour. Guthrie & Co., "and something should be done to nrouse public sentiment. We can transfer our business to som-2 other port and escape the extortion practiced on the Columbia river, or we can pay the money demanded and take It out of th? price paid for the grain." A NEW SAFETY MATCH. A match has at lam been discovered which can be manufactured absolute ly without the aid of phosporus. This saf-ty match contains neither red nor yellow phosphorus nor a compound of phosphorus, but possesses the great advantage of being able to be manu factured with the plant and machinery hitherto In use. Invention still strides onward through every line, and yet there some things which seem Imper ious to improvement. For Instance, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, that fa mous medicine, has stood unequalled for fifty years as a corrective of ptom ach disorders. Imitati ons have sprung ud about It. but like a beacon light, It has stood Immovable, pointing the way to health from all such ailments as constipation, Indigestion, dyspepsia, biliousness, sluggish liver or weak kid neys.
