THE STRIKE IS OFF Official Settlement of Trouble by Union Officials. FEW OPEPATORSFAIL TO COMPLY At Such Mines the Strike Will Continu« Until the JSmpluyes Are Grant« ed Their Deuntud«. Hazleton. Pa., Oct. 28.—The follow ing statement was given out for publi cation tonight by President Mitchell, of the United Mineworkers: “Temporary Heaqduarters, United Mineworkers of America, llazletou, Pa., October 27, 1900.—To the miners and mineworkers of the anthracite reg ion: Gentlemen—After carefully can vassing the entire strike situation, we, your officers, district and national have concluded that your victory is sc nearly complete that no good end can be served bv continuing the strike longer. The contest has been in pro gress for 39 days, and the companies employing you have, with few excep tions, signified their willingness to pay the scale of wages formulated by the Scranton convention of October 12 and 13. “We are aware that some disappoint went and dissatisfaction has been caused by the failure of the operators in districts 1 and 7 to separate the re duction in the price of powder from the advance in wages, but after careful inquiry we are satisfied that each mine employe will actually receive an ad vance of 10 per cent on the wages form erly paid. In the Schuylkill and Le igh regions the largest companies have agreed that the sliding scale should be suspended and that wages should remain stationary at 10 per cent until April 1, 1991, thus removing one of the iniquities of which you have com plained for many years. “While it is true that yon have not secured redress for all your wrongs; while it is true that the increase in your earnings will not fully compensate yon for the arduous labor you are com pelled to perform, you have established a perfect organization, which, if main tained and conducted on business prin ciples, will enable you to regulate many of your local grievances anil make your employment less hazardous and more profitable than before the strike began “The companies agree in their notices to take up with their mine employes all grievances complained ot. We would, therefore, advise that when work is resumed committees be select ed by the mine employes and that they wait upon the superintendents of the companies and present, their griev ances in an orderly, business-like man ner, and ask that they be corrected. “Your attention is respectfully called to the fact that the laws of the state of Pennsylvania provide that miners should be paid semi-monthly upon demand. We should, therefore, advise that each mine employe serve ' notice on the companies that he expects to be paid his wages twice each mouth, as provided by law. “The practical benefits to the miners which accrue from thorough organiza tion have been so clearly demons!n ted during this strike that it should be needless for us to urge upon you the necessity of maintaining your union in tact. We tiust, however, that those who are now members of the union will be unceasing in their efforts to in duce all mineworkers to ally them selves with the United Mineworkers of America at once, as it will be Impossi ble for you to secure your wages in the future or even maintain the present Tate of wages unless you are prepared to offer a united resistance if any at tempt is made to reduce your earnings upon the expiration of the present offer.” The address is signed by the national and district officers of the United Mine workers of America. Dodson <fe Co., operating the Beaver Brook colliery, posted a notice today complying with the demands of the Scranton convention. The company also operates the Morea and William colleries, in Schuylkill county. Recruit«* f*»r Philippine*« New York, Oct. 28.—Colonel Kim- balll, assistant quartermaster of the United States army, announced today that 2.000 recruits will leave for the Philippines in the next three weeks. The first 1,000 will leave on the trans port Buford, November 5. The second transport carrying the other 1.000,will be the Kilpatrick, which will leave November 10. The recruits on the Bu ford will be under the command of Colonel Jacob Kline,of the Twenty-first infantry, and those on the Kilpatrick, under Colonel Tully McCrue. State Boundary Line Wronif. CHINA’S ' TERMS. Proposal by Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang. A Thriving Metropolitan Town in Place <»f Mining Village. New York, Oct. 26.—A dispatch t the Herald from Pekin savs: A preliminary convention between China and the combined powers has been proposed by Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang. It is as follows: 1’ “Article I. Laying siege to the lega tions of foreign ministers is a high of- euse against one of the important prin ciples of international law. No coun try can possibly tolerate such a thing. China acknowledges her great fault in this respect and promises that it will never occur again. “Article 11. China admits her lia bility to pay an indemnity for the var ious losses sustained on this occasion, and the lowers will each appoint offi cials to examine and present all claims for a final consultation and settlement. “Article III. As to future trade and general international relations, each power should designate how these matters are to be dealt with, whether the old treaties should continue or new conventions should be made, slightly adding to the old treaties or canceling the old treaties and neogtiating new ones. Any of these plans may be adopted and when China has approved them, further special regulations can be made in each case as required. “Article IV. This convention will be made by China with the combined powers to cover the general principles which apply alike to all. This set tled. the foreign ministers will remove the seals they caused to be placed in various parts of the Tseng li Yamun, and the Yamun ministers may go to the Yamun and attend to business at usual. And further, each power should arrange its own special > flairs with China, so that separate treaties may be settled in due older. When the vari ous items of indemnity are all arranged properly, or an understanding has been reached about them, the powers will successively withdraw their troops. “Article V. The troops sent to China by the powers are for the protec tion of the ministers, and no other pur pose, so when the negotiations begin for treaties of peace each power should first declare an armistice.” Washington, Oct. 27.—An intere«t- ing report upon the conditions in DAw- son City and the Yukon district oi Alaska has been furnished to the state department by United States Consul McCook. “Dawson today,” he says, “presents a marked contrast to the Dawson of 1898. Then no one, except possibly the judges on the bench, wore a white shirt. The town was thronged with miners, pack on back, prospecting for gold. The streets were veritable mud holes. Now people dress much as they do in the cities of the United States. A man with a pack on his back is an unusual sight, and one can walk the town over with polished shoes and not have them soiled.” Dawson City does not appear like a mining town, states Consul McCook, but rather a thriving commercial cen ter. It is crowded just now, for more come in than go out. Electric rail ways are promised by 1901, and public schools have been opened and are well attended. The government at Ottawa, it is re ported, will offer for sale at public auction in Dawson every claim that has reverted to it by lapse or other wise. and 30 days after the time of sale all claims not sold will be declared open for location. The output of gold has been increas ing, says the consul, in spite of the fact that the average values of the gravels worked have been steadily declining, the richest mines having been worked first. But meantime the cost of work ing has decreased, ami enables proper ties to be profitably worked now that would not have yielded gains two years ago. There should lie a continued out put of from $15,009,000 to $20,000,000 worth of gold annually for many years to come, according to Consul McCook, if the expenses ot working are further reduced. Valuable placer claims are reported to have been located in the Stewart river mining district, about 100 miles from Dawson, and a stampede has fol lowed tofthe scene of the finds. RAN INTO A EXPLOSION Bad Train Seattle, Wash., Oct. 26.—One of the most disastrous accidents that has oc curred in this vicinity happened about three miles north of Ballard, on the Great Northern railroad, last night, at 11 o’clock, when train No. 16, with 31 freight cars, eastbound, while running at a good rate of speed, ran into a land slide. Two men were killed and three badly injured. Ten cars were burned up and the locomotive demolished. The killed are: A. J. Creeper, engi neer; Roy Archer, a passenger. The injured are: Albert Michaelson, ear torn off, hand burned and probably in ternally injured. He is a brakeman. A. T. Brindley, supply man, face and shoulders burned until scarcely recognizable; may die. D. J. Allman, fireman, slightly in jured. The train struck the landslide almost without warning, and the engine and a number of cars were piled in a heap without the engineer having a chance to jump. The wreck took tire almost immediately. SEATTLE AT INDIAN HEAD LANDSLIDE. Accident to a Great Northern Near Ballard. RUNAWAY ACCIDENT One Woman Killed, Another Fatally Injured an<l a Third Badly Bruiwed. Seattle, Oct. 26.—As a result of a runaway accident here this evening, one woman was killed, another fatally injured and a third badly cut about the head and body. The runaway oc curred at 6 o’clock, at a time when the streets were unusually crowded, owing to the number waiting to go home oi the cars to dinner. The team was hitched to a delivery wagon standing in front of a grocery store on Second avenue, while the driver weut inside to deliver some goods. The driver says that he put the brake on the wheels and tied the horses with a weight. A few moments later they took fright at something and dashed dowh Second avenue. The street is a down grade, and they at tained fearful velocity by the time they reached James street, where the wo men stood. They were waiting to catch a car. Mrs. C. Jacobson, aged 70, wai struck by the horses and knocked dowu and run over by the wagon, twe wheels passing over her head. She die.I almost intsantlv. A Mrs. Arm stead was knocked down aud the horses stepped on her chest, indicting serious injuries. She is not expected to live until morning. The third woman, Mrs. Alberta Jacobson, was severely cut about the head and body, but is not in danger. She is a daughter-in- law of the dead woman. Accident Believed to Have curred at Proving Grounds. Oc Washington, Oct. 27. — An explosion occurred at the Indian Head proving grounds about 11 o’clock tonight. A Hash of light, visible some distance, accoftipauied the explosion which was followed by a fire. The explosion shook the windows of houses in Alex andria, 19 miles from Indian Head. There is no direct communication with the proving grounds by which details can be had tonight. The grounds are 25 miles down the I’otomac river from Washington, and many of the big guns and much of the armor for the battle ships are tested there. It is believed the powder mills and other mills were destroyed. The first shock was felt over a radius of 20 miles. A number of other explosions followed at intervals, illuminating the surrounding country and the opposite bank of the river. At Quantico, 11 miles below Indian Head, one explo sion after another -was heard, and bricks were shaken from chimneys. Forts Hull and Washington, 11 miles north of Indian Head, were shaken by the explosion. The tug Iriton left the navy yard soon after the explosion for the proving grounds. There are several officers and a number of enlist ed men and workmen at the place. Clipping Clover Fields. Foul Seeds. It would be Impossible to compute the loss by the use of floor and foul seeds each year. We can test seed and find out w-liat percentage of it does not ?ermluate, and thus estimate a possible increase in the amount necessary t2 u-e for a field, or the decrease of crop if we fail to make that allowance. But as the cost of caring for and harvesting the product of an acre Is nearly the same whether the crop Is large or small, the cost of growing a bushel or a ton Increases as the yield diminishes. But even this could be more easily borne than the cost of caring for the crop, as it is increased and its value dimin ished by an admixture of foul weeds in the seed we have bought. We could easily afford to pay much higher prices for seeds if we could have a guarantee of their purity. The Agricultural De partment has done some good work In examining both home-grown and im ported seeds, and while they have found most of the varietle» of seeds which we export to be reasonably free from foul seed, and thus have helped to find greater sale for them abroad, they have also found that some varie ties which we Import are badly mixed with the seed of undesirable weeds, particularly from certain sections, where they must be either dishonest or criminally careless. Whichever It may be, these Inspections may help to re duce the evil, but it will be only when there shall be capable Inspectors au thorized to thoroughly examine and brand packages of seed, and provide for the adequate punishment of those who sell seed for what it Is not, that farmers will have the protection which they have a right to demand.—Ameri can Cultivator. Root Houses and Fruit. Root and fruit houses may be made at a very little cost as useful and quite as effective and satisfactory in every way as the most costly ones. Those here shown may be made at no greater expense than the cost of the hinges, and the boards, a few pounds of spikes, and some tenpenny nails. The house is dug out of the bank, which of course should be dry, and the door of the house should face the south. The walls may be built up of logs or stoue as may be convenient. The roof is made of poles doubled and covered with leaves or straw, and then with doubled The Patternon Murder. Patterson, N. J., Oct. 28.—Scul- thorpe, the man who drove the cab in which Jennie Bosschieter, the young silk mill employe, died last Thursday night, said today that a woman whose name he does not know was in the sa loon at the time the girl's drink was diugged. This woman, he says, help ed Kerr, McAllister, Campbell and Death to put the girl into the cab, and stood by until the vehicle started away. The police are searching for this wo man and also for the drug clerk who sold chloral to McAllister. He has disappeared, but it is thought he has not left Paterson. Scuthrope says he believes the unknown woman was a stranger in Paterson. Philippine Transport Service. Washington, Oct. 28.—Orders have been issued for the completion and re pair of the transports Wright and In galls, at New York, in order to utilize them in the Philippine service. They were purchased during the Spanish war. and were used tor the transporta tion of troops and freight between the United States and the West Indies. Lately their services have l>een con fined to cruising the waters of Tampa and Porto Rico. They are too small for use as regular troopships between the United States and the Philippines, but are well adapted for cruising in the Philippines. Fire In a Minnesota Town. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 28.—Secre tary of State McDavid has taken the first step toward annexing West Flori da to Alabama. In his annual I eport to the government the secretary of state says Alabama runs a mile farther south on the eastern boundary than the tract books have hitherto shown, and that the state is possessed of a wedge of land which his office records failed to show it owned running 100 miles along the southern end ot the state. a Bank President Sentenced.

I., Oct. 27.—In tense adverse feeling has been «xcited here by the renewal of the report thst Denmark intends to sell the Danish Antilles to the United St ites. A meet ing of the colonial council has been convoked at St. Croix for the purpose of making a formal protest. The news papers discuss the question, declaring in bold type: "We do not wish to be •old.” There is no desire, much less enthusiasm, among the pop llation to belong to the United states. Macon, Ga.. Oct. 26.—It was learned here today that two negroes, James Grier and James Collowav, were lynched by white farmers near Liberty Hill, in Pike county. While out hunting they shot recklessly into a farmers’ house, frightening a young white woman. Word reaches her« from Wellston, in Huston county, that a negro was lynched by a mob of his own race for assaulting a colored girl. Another negro was lynched near there for a similar crime last week- Negroes Lynched. stroyi any eggs «r other sources of gapeworms, the chicks will escape. Salt may also be added In small quantities. Lime Is cheap, and It la better to uae It on the ground than to work trying to save the chicks and lose a large num ber. The ground should be limed as early as possible. Lime la also a pre ventive of roup. To get rid of tilth is to avoid disease in the flocks, for when disease appears the germs are re tained in the grouud. For that reason every locatiou occupied by poultry should be occasionally spaded or plowefl. When performing such work, first scatter air-slaked lime over the surface, aud turn under the top soil, following by another application of lime on the surface. The lime causes a chemical action In the soil which quickly destroys the tilth by cliangiug its composition. DAWSON CHY CONDITIONS.

That a great deal of oleomargarine and butterine, colored contrary to law, is sold for the genuine article Is a well- known fact. One of the surest tests Is to subject the sample to Intense heat. If the melted sample bubbles and sput ters, it is butter; if it lies perfectly in animate, it is oleomargarine. The art of coloring and flavoring cot ton-iced oil and lard in Imitation of tine creamery butter has become so perfect that unless subjected to some such test the difference is not apparent There area number of methods used by chem ists, and In cases where even the above-mentioned test is found Inade quate the chemist can tell by using an apparatus. A St. Louis wholesale dealer In butter says: “Not every one can tell the difference between butter and the Imitation, even after trying the beat test. My advice to those who want real butter is to stick to the grocers who handle only butter. Many tricks are used In order to sell the colored oleo. An unscrupulous grocer will tell you be has some extra fine “Elgin” or “dairy.” but be will not say butter. It Is Elgin oleomargarine or dairy oleo- I margarine. The law gives’ the con | aumer some protection, for In the Uni ted States courts It goes hard with th" ; man who falls to stamp each package i of oleo with the word.” A writer in Ohio Farmer advocates the clipping of clover the first year after the wheat Is off, aud eveu twice If necessary to prevent It from blossom ing, as that weakens the next year's growth. This year he clipped on Aug. 1 and expects to clip again in Septem ber. He has done so for several years until year before last, and he said ba would never omit it again. The hay last year where it was not clipped was very dirty, full of stubble and trash, while where too large a growth was made before winter, it lodged and smothered out the crop. He cuts high, removing the swath board, and like» to cut just after a rain, leaving all the growth on the ground as a mulch, which protects the roots in winter and keeps the ground more moist In sum mer. It might lie pastured off and get some growth for cattle or sheep, but they will not feed on the ranker grow ing places, and feed the other too close ly, thus making them liable to be win ter killed. He does not think this pays, and would prefer to grow green crops to help out the pasturage than to use the newly seeded fields. He wants to leave clover about six Inches nigh when winter comes. ENCOURAGING SITUATION. The Condition ot Trade on the Whole Quite Satisfactory. Bradstreet’s says: Despite some ir regularity growing out of the unseason able weather conditions, heavy price changes in leading staples or increased conservatism in some traders as the election approaches, the general busi ness situation as a whole is encourag ing, aud new elements or manifesta tions of strength appear from time to time. Perhaps the most notable fea ture of the week is found in the indus- tral situation, which has been dis tinctly improved by the apparently offi cial and final action taken toward ending the anthracite coal strike. In view of the fact that most miners have obtained increased wages, the effect on business in the producing regions can hardly be otherwise than beneficial, while the trade Ht large must reap benefits from the return to normal con ditions. The situation in cereals shows little change. A feature of the movement of product to market at the present time not heretofore noted this year, is the growing scarcity of cars re)«rted west of the Missssippi. Sugar is lower than anticipated, and coffee is off on con tinued large receipts. The strength of demand for finished products of iron and steel, noted for some time past, finds reflection in an improved inquiry for the cruder forma at leading iron ceuters thia week. Wheat (including flour) shipments for the week aggregate 4,923,978 bush els, against 3.796,643 last week, 4,416,- 495 iu the eorresfonding week of 1889, and 5,560,991 in 1898. Business failures for the week in tha United States number 181, as against 223 last week. Canadian failures for the week num ber 31, against 22 last week. PACIFIC COAST TRADE. Neattie Markets.
