PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 2.-Thl Is
the tenth day of the miner' strike
and there Is no Indication of a sur
render or concession on either side. In
fact, no overtures looking to the set
tlement of difference have been made
by either strike leaders or operators.
Various propositions of settlement by
arbitration have been put forward by
persons not connected with the mining
business, but thus far practically no
progress has been made in thl direc
tion. The most nottirorthy feature of the
strike is the remarkably good behav
ior of the strikers up to thla time, es
pecially when It Is considered that the
claim U made that more than 100,000
mlneworker are Idle in the anthracite
region.
At a meeting of one hundred or more
employes of Markle & Co.. proprietors
of a colliery operated Independent of
the carrying railroads. It was decided
to accept the firm' offer to arbitrate
their differences, pending which they
would- return to work tomorrow morning.
would he shoot a man; that he would
not maks tho mistake that Sheriff Mar
tin made thre year ago when a score
of men were shot to death by deputies
at Lotllrr.er, The governor replied that
he would take the whole ubj.-ct un
der careful consideration.
Bpeaklng on the question of using
firearms, the sheriff said:
"I am a better friend of the strik
er than they think. I know they are
fighting for what they think Is right.
I have given positive orders to my
deputies that they must not do any
shooting, that they must be calm and
try to reason with the strikers when
they see them about to commit a vio
lation of the law. When I faced the
men at Derringer yesterday morning I
kept my deputies plit up Into gmups
so aa not to excite the striker, and
went, myself, to the mob of 300 men
unarmed and pleaded with them to let
worker go to the mine who so d-
slred. They positively refused to do
so, and I arrested all those who were
not strictly within the law.
"If the men will not listen to rea
son then fore-? must be used. an1 that
means shooting. The presence of troop
will prevent these mobs, and that Is
why I asked the governor to send me
soldier."
No additional collieries were closed
up today In the Lehigh valley district.
The strikers claim accession to their
ranks, while most of the mine super
ntendents report a slight Increase In
the numbr of men working. Some
strikers weie arrested In the vicinity
of tills company's No. 4 shaft In thi
city for unlawful .wsembllng. They
were walklntt on the railroad track
within the company's property.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2. The Times

Senator Hanna made another visit to
the office of J. P. Morgan Co.. In

all the presldenls of the coal railroad
except President Ollpharit. of the'Dela'-'
ware and Hudson, who Is ill.
Morgan Is working hand In glove with
Senator Hanna to bring about a set
tlement of the anthracite coal . strike,
and the report got abroad in Wall
street after the conference that the

REPLIES OF THE POWERS. .
PARIS, Sept. 26. It Is asserted from
excellent diplomatic sources that Italy
and Austria are the only powers which
have replied favorably and uncondition
ally to Germany's note. It Is certainly
a fact that the replies of Russia and
France are almost identical, advocat
ing punishment of the originators of I
security during the winter unless active
measures are taken. Several minor pi
ratical acts are reported, and It la also
slat! that villages near Kum Chuk
have be.n burned by brigands.

CHARLES HEILB0RN & SON
President Truesdale, of Lackawanna,
discussing the settlement, said:
"There Is not a word of truth In it.
We are no nearer a settlement today
than we have ever been before. We
started in to tight the miners' union
and we propose to continue the fight to
the end."
ITALIANS SHED BLOOD.
SCRANTON. Pa.. Sept. 2$. The first
blood which may be laid to the strike
of the miners In the Lackawanna re
gion Is reported this morning from Sib
ley, about six mile from Scranton.
Three men were wounded In a row,
in which about twenty revolver shots
were fired.
The participants were all Italians,
mostly men who had been before the
strike working In Jermyn No. 1 mine,
near Rendham. as non-unionists, but
who became members of the United
Mlne.workers two weeks ago. Previous
ly there was bad blood between these
men and others of their own nationality
who had been on strike at Jermyn's
for six months, and several clashes oc
curred. Last night the men got Into
a fight on the roadway near Barber
town. Revolvers were drawn, and
when the oattle was over three men
were down In the road. Nick Gentll-
core was so badly wounded that there
Is little hope for his recovery. No ar
rests have been made, as the men fled.
The strike situation throughout the
Lackawanna' valley remains practical
ly unchanged today. Information this
morning is to the effect that the big
companies are Vrepared tomorrow to
grant concessions, provided that at the
time the men are actually working and
In their employ. But there is an un
derstanding that, come what may, the
compromise must not be effected
through the United Mineworkers. While
many mineworkers are anxious to set
tle the strike and return to work re
gardless of the means by which an
amicable settlement Is made, there I.i
Quite a strong sentiment to remain out
until the union Is recognized.
SHERIFF WANTS MORE TROOBS.
HAZLETON. Pa.. Sept. 26. The re
quest of Sheriff Harvey that troops
be sent to Luxerne county Immediately,
Is still under consideration, but it Is
almost certain that none will be sent
until there are further developments
requiring their service.
The entire Hazleton region waa very
quiet today, no marches or disturb
ances having occurred anywhere during
the night or this morning.
Sheriff Harvey said today he had a
long talk with Governor Stone over the
telephone, and frankly told the gover
nor that the situation was getting be
yond his control. He also Informed the
governor that under no circumstances
STRIKE ONE OF SYMPATHY.
POTTSyiLLE. Pa., Sept 26. The
strike leaders are now turning their
attention to 'the collieries south of
Broad Mountain. Many of the mine of
this district are close to this city and it
is these colii-Tles that produce moat of
the coal mined In the Schuylkill regions.
Naturally, therefore, this district be
comes the center of operations against
the mine owners.
North of Broad Mountain few miners
were working. In :he Mahoney Valley
not a colliery Is In operation. The min
er who a day or two ago expressed a
desire to work are now hedging and say
they are not at all In a hurry to go
back to the mines. The pleadings and
arguments of the strike leader have
had their effect. - --" " -
The fact Is the strike In the Schuyl
kill regions Is one of symoathy pure and
simple. They have no grievance and
Superintendent Veith of the Reading
Company said that not one of the
company's 27,000 men had come to
him or to anyone of the other officials
cf the company, previous to the strike,
with a single grievance.
In the district south of Broad Moun
tain there were two collieries. Eagle Hill
and Silver Creek, which were working
yesterday, while several that were
working on Monday did not resume
yesterday. The Wadesville colliery,
near Pottsvllle. one of the largest of
the Reading Company's mines, la tied
up, the officials say by reason of a
broken shaft. At Forestvllle those fa
miliar with the situation declare that
the strike is almost certain to include
all of the 7000 men still at work south of
Broad Mountain.
In the Panther Valley the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company has abou?
7000 men at wark and in all probability
these will also go out.
At the extreme west end of the
Schuylkill region, adjoining Dauphin
county, where are located the Lykens
Valley Coal Company's -nines, are three
collieries which continue to produce
daily about 300 cars of coal. These col
lieries are the Brookside, Good Springs
and Lincoln and it is asserted that
there will be no strike there as the men
are thoroughly Fatlsfted.
In a number of cities adjacent to this
coa! region, notably Reading, the coal
supply Is geting low and many families
have been unable to purchase even
small quantities. It seems an extraor
dinary state of things for'this section of
the country, where ordinarily tons of
coal can be picked ud along the rail
roads. UNION LABEL ATTACKED.
Campaign Against It Vigorously Pros
ecuted by United Typothetae.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Sept. 26.-The
campaign of the United Typothetae
against the union label will be prose
cuted more vigorously than ever.
"In many cities ordinances have been
passed that the union label be placed
on city printing. Master printers In
some cities are fighting these ordinances
In the courts on the ground that
they are unconstitutional, and the re
port of the executive committee today
recommended that the fight be continu
ed until It ended In victory. The re
port In favor of raising a fund of $50,
000 to fight the union label was adopted.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo.. Sept. 29.-
At Victor, a few mile from Cripple

seven McKlnley votes were cast. At
present a McKlnley and Roosevelt
Club ho been formed, now numbering
5s0 members with the numbers Increas
ing. Governor Roosevelt spoke at the ar
mory hall which was filled. There
were many Republicans In the au'llence
but there were also apparently many
Democrats who made themselves mani
fest by noisy demonstrations.
Governor Roosevelt ucceeded In fin
ishing his remarks, though there was
an evident Intention among those pres
ent that he should not do so. When
the governor left the hall with hi
crowd, boy and men began throwing
rock and shouting for Bryan.
The Rough Rider closed In around
the governor to protect him from as
sault by the mob.
One man made a personal attack
upon Governor RooeeveK and succeed
ed In striking him a blow In the breast
with a stick. The assailant wag im
mediately knocked down by Daniel M.
Sullivan, the postmaster of Cripple
Creek. A rush was then made by the
mob to drag the mounted men in khaki
uniforms from their horees. Men on
foot, also In khaki, closed around the
governor making a .wedge- which, judb.
ed through the crowd and they finally
succeeded In gaining the train, which
was surrounded by a mob.
By this time there were probably
1000 or 1300 excited people In the vicin
ity, and fisticuffs were exchanged on
all sides. Many of the mob were armed
with sticks and clubs, some with rot
ten potatoes, stale eggs and lemons.
The entire party regained the train.
however, without serious Injury, and
it pulled out.
It was reported by Postmaster Sul
livan, of Cripple Creek, and others, that
the trouble was occasioned by a
sn ail body of roughs who had been
organized and paid for the purpose of
breaking up the meeting.
HIS TRAIN GUARDED.
DENVER. Sept 26.-The following
message has been received In this city:
"Roosevelt' train will pass through
Victor tonight on Its Journey to Pue

BRYAN'S VIEWS ON THE MOB.
NE3RASKA CITY. Neb.. Sept. 26.
Being shown a telegram to the effect
that Roosevelt was assaulted at Victor,
Colorado, by a band of hired roughs
tonight. Bryan . wrote the following
statement:
"From what I know of the people of
Colorado. I am not willing to believe,
without further evidence, that they de
nied Mr. Roosevelt or any one else
a fair hearing. If It proves true that
he was mobbed or in any way Inter
fered with, I am sure that It was not
the work of any political organization.
There can be no Justification for re
sort to violence In this country, and
those who resort to It Injure the cause
which they represent."
