Ida., Sept. 23.-So far as. can be learned, the prospect of fusion be ing effected between the Populists and Denuicrats on the state ticket has about vanished. While It Is not Klven out that the effort has met with fail ure, such seems to 'be. tne result. It Is understood that efforts are still being made to get the parties together, but r.o progress has been made and they are so far apart that it Is the opinion of many of those Interested that nothing will be done.

NEW YOffc, 63pt. 25.rSlver62; lead, unchanged. may include tomorrow a greater nuni ; ber of men than on any da since the striKe Degan a week ago. Although the Independent operators of the north side, who have continued , operations with crippled forces, about ueia tneir own. tnere la aoiue reason to fear that today may find the collier ies of the Coxe Company, the largest operators here, employing 3000 men, and those of G. B. Markle & Company Idle and possibly destined to be idle for months. Thia win be a very Important day to the employes of Markle & Company, and one much more Important to all who have hoped to see a victory for the principle of arbitration as a result of the strike, with such gains to the miners as they could gain by submit ting their grievances to imperial judges. Less than a week ago Father Phi lips voluntarily addressed the Jeddo miners In support of the principle prac ticed by the Markle Company. He said he had fought for arbitration and was fighting for It. ' If he believed the Mine Workers' Union would refuse the right of a man to arbitrate his griev ances with his employer he would de nounce It. "If you, refuse to arbitrate." he said, "you are dealing the hardest blow to organiaed brtior it has ever received. If you refuse to accept these propositions you will deserve all the misery that will be yours for a century." A chance remains for the continuance at Jeddo of amicable business relations between employers and employed. To day will be due the answer to the min ers' bill of grievances submitted Sep tember 15. It may be assumed that G. B: Markle As Company will seize the opportunity to put arbitration to a real test by suomuung tne powaer question to a aectsion Dy arbitration. As they have already expressed a w illingness to ac cept Archbishop Kyan. in case of a disagreement by the other two arbitra tors, a renewal of that offer would at least be an Indication of good faith, possibly not fully Justified by the re ported attitude of Archbishop Ryan to ward the s'.rike. The Impression here among other operators Is that the offers of Markle & Company will be spurned and that they will have to stop busi ness. ' After the strike has run another week without some advance from one side or the other looking to some reason able settlement, the distress that must follow will begin, to assort itself. The cold w-eather that will worry the city housekeeper will find the Idle miner, who will then cease to have credit, obliged to draw on his savings or the relief fund suppossd to be at the com mand of the United Mine Workers. City tradesmen have already -begun to feel the necessity for protecting themselves. A notice appears In this afternoon's paper that the butchers of Hazelton have lec.lded that on and af ter today they will sell for cash only. T hja action, the notice says, was forced upon many butchers on the verge of bankruptcy owing to the strike and it In necesnary to adhere t the earth sys tem until trnmiuillry I restored. An unverified report wa circulated last night that evrn operating firms have Intimated that when th-lr em-Cloy-' stop work they will be nuked to vacate th-3 houvn khev are occupying as t :nants of the companies. MORE MEN IDLE. SHENANDOAH. Pa.. S..pt. 35. Six teen thousand mote mln operative are Idl. in what I kr. wn as the Mahoney Valley, which extenda fourteen mlloj along Broad Mountain. The action of the men in a surprise to the military and the- mine owners. It was entirely unlocked for and has given renewed courage to the strike leader. They de clare that the .nine vorkers around .Shenandoah have gone out on a sympa thetic strike. The prese of the militia is believed to have causf J the present condition of, affairs. The rioting foreigner hava atruck and will not work. The Amert-ran. Englisn. Welsh anj Irish employ? are not thoroughly or ganized and were at work last week ' until Intimidated by foreigners, com posed of Hungarian. Pop., Lithuan ians and a half dozen other nationali ties. A than.- to work guarded by the troops was gfvn them but they would rot accept It. They fear oloodshed and do not want to be drawn Into any af. fray. Remaining away a they do they have adJed to the strength of the .inir. er. The situation la extremely critical. ov,rl. ac: may precipitate a eiinii. The strike leader are taking everv opportunity to idd to their numbers. Apparently the men who had iletermin. ed to rontinuu before are now thorough ly frightened and it 1st doubtful wheth er the Reading or any other pomm. in this valley will succeed In starting up us iiiiien r.n anyxning HKe a compli ment of men for many days.

NE V YORK. Sept. 25. The tw-n mint. Itles of coal known aa pea and buck wheat, which are no used for steam generating purples, have JumDed un It a ton. Pea coal now costs th conmimee M.1O and buckwheat J4. Arising out of this advance, threats of law against dealers are alreidy being heard. For some time a farm, nnmhee r dealers, under stress of 'eonioeHtinn. . have consented to omit In ' contracts which they have male with manuf:irt. urcr and large jflice bulldinir th clause which permits hem to break the agreement In case of strikes. But de spite the absence of this clause, none of the dealers would rupply coal under " their contracts exeunt at the Increased price of $1 a ton. The .onsumer have no alternative excent to suhmit r- without coal, but manv of them de clared today that they would appeal to the courts to compel the coal men to live up to their contracts and to-refnml money paid beyond the amount called i-r in me agreement. The retailers profess to stand in 10 fear of thes an. tions. "Usages of trade." th.ir oai-. ed. will protx-t them. fopestlc coal rvmwlrwr! nnrhiii C75 for white ash and J7.25 for red ash as a standard price. Bituminous coal men continue to reap a harvest as a result of the strike. The net advance in soft coil since last Friday averaged about 50 cents a ton. and with matters as they are in the anthracite regions another rise my be looked for. The soft ;oai nun ray that even should the strlk cease they will maintain present prices, as the lemand for their product is sufficiently large to enable them to get the rat-?s asked.
