Miners' President Has n Private Con
ference With Senators Quoy and
Penrose Sends Reply to Reese
velt's Request Strikers Are Firm.
VVIlkosbarre , Oct. 9. Unlonn Prosl-
dent Mitchell's hurried visit to Now
, York boars fruit , the end of the inluo
workers' strike seems u long way oft
anil the jirospact of sufficient coul beIng -
Ing wined to oullHfy the public do-
nuuid IH extremely jioor. Every local
union of the miners' oreunlzntlon
throughout the hurd coal bolt hold
special meetings yesterday and resolved -
solved to ronmin on strike until the
snlno owners grant thorn some con
cessions. And while the reports ot
thcso inoetlngB came pouring Into
WllkoBbarro , President Mitchell die-
tntcd a letter to the president of the
United States , In which ho cave his
answer to the proposition that the
Htrlkors return to work and trust to
liavu their condition Improved through
an Investigating commission. What
the answer of the minors' chlof Is ho
refused to dlvulgo , but It Is dllllcult to
concelvo that with the replies of the
local unions piled around him he could
do otherwise than respectfully de
cline the president's proposition. Mr.
Mitchell , ai/compnnlod / by the throe
district presidents , left for Now
York. His mission there Is also a se
cret. As Now York Is the headquar
ters of the coal operators , a rumor 1m-
fnedlatcly spread that a settlement
wus In prospect , but Mr. Mitchell and
his colk'ngucB would not sny whom
they expected to meet.
Strikers Are Firm.
All day the returns from the meetIngs -
Ings of the local unions came pouring
into the union headquarters and the
corps of newspaper correspondents
stationed hero wore Invited to exam
ine the reports. Not ono was found
that was not couched In firm language.
Briefly stated , the resolutions In those
reports afllnn the confidence of the
men In the Integrity and judgment of
their president , praise President
Roosevelt for his efforts to end the
Btrlke , denounce the presidents of the
coal carrying roads for their alleged
abuse of the chief executive at the
conference In Washington , denounce
the employment of the coal and Iron
police , thank all organizations and
citizens throughout the country for
the financial assistance given and de
nounce Governor Stone for sending
troops hero. Nearly all the resolutions
contained a sentence to the effect
thtit the men will remain out , thpugh
nil the troops In the United States
were sent nero , until tnoy arc grnnteu
come concessions.
The general strlko situation re
mains unchanged. There Is no In
crease In the shipment of conl , very
little of which Is belne produced.
ENTIRE STATE ARMY AT MINES.
Perfect Order Prevails Throughout
Anthracite Region.
Philadelphia , Oct. 9. The entire
National Guard of Pennsylvania la encamped -
camped In the anthracite coal regions ,
the last regiment from the western
part of the state having arrived late
yesterday afternoon.
Contrary to expectation , the troops
were well received and there was no
Imposition on the part of the strikers
to annoy the soldiers. There was only
no Instance during the day of any
how of feeling , and this was mani
fested at Bethlehem , when some boys
stoned the second section of the train
bearing the First regiment from Phil
adelphia. Universal quiet reigns
throughout the entire region. Briga
dier General Schall , at Tamaqua , tele
graphed to Major General Miller thai
there was no disturbance of any klm !
In the district. The soldiers who ar
rived yesterday were all scattered
throughout Schuylklll , Luzerne , Car
ton and Northumberland counties.
The fact that all of the locals
throughout the anthracite region have
voted unanimously to continue the
Btrlko would Indicate that the presence
enco of the troops will have but little
effect upon forcing the men to return
to work , and from present Indications
it would seem that the settlement o
the strike is no nearer a solution
than It has been for many weeks.
OPERATORS REFUSE TO CONFER
Manufacturers' Committee Has Trip
to Philadelphia for Nothing.
Philadelphia , Oct. 9. The visit to
this city of the committee represent

ington , appears to have been fruitless
The committee aVrived here yesterday
and spent the greater part of the da ;
at the Manufacturers' club , awaiting
the appearance of the presidents , bu
none of the latter answered , in per
Eon , at least , the request of the com
ttlttee for a conference. The com
xnlttee will meet again Oct. 14.

Twenty-five Thousand in Line
at Washington.
REVIEWED BY THE PRESIDENT
Roosevelt Driven Along Column of
Veterans Amid Cheers Kansas and
Iowa Contingents Carry Umbrellas
and Earo of Corn.
Washington , Oct. 0. For moro than
six hours yusterdity the people in
Washington hummed the chorus of the
civil war song , "Tramp , Tramp ,
Tramp , the Doys Are Marching , " and
for un uquiil time the vutcraus con
stituting the Grand Army of the Republic -
public made good thu claim. The pa
rade was the climax of the thlrty-ulxth
encampment of tholr order. The oc
casion was In ov ry way worthy of the
Grand Army , and the parade did not
fall appropriately to delineate tne
spirit of the war and the memory of
the glorious achlevumentB the army
seeks to keep green In the minds of
the American people.
Beginning at a few minutes past 10
o'clock , when the head of the column
moved from its station at the capital ,
It was almost 5 o'clock when the last
squad In the line had passed the
place of dlsbaudment west of the
white house. None of the soldiers were
marching any great part of the time ,
for the entire , line of march did not
exceed two and a half mlles In Icngtn ,
but those who composed the rear de
tachments were on their feet practlc-
ally aill day , much of the time being
consumed In waiting to take their
places In the lino.
Route of Parade.
The route of the parade was down
historic Pennsylvania avenue , along
which many of them marched as raw
recruits In going to the war in 1861
and 18G2 and many others on the occa
sion of the grand review after the
close of thwar in 1865. The partic
ipants In the Imposing pageant en
tered with life -and vigor into the
spirit of the occasion. Each counte
nance bore ovldcnco of the joy the
experience brought to the individual ,
but it wan plainly evident that there
was in the occasion much of the res
toration of youth for most of them.
The "old boys" evidently wore liv
ing the days of their youth. Not
many1 of them exhibited traces of ago
in their marching. Almost without
exception they walked along with
alacrity and kept stop with precision.
If the veterans had needed any spur
to tholr enjoyment they would have
found It easily in the crowds who
thronged tholr pathway and In the
smile which provldonco bestowed
upon them , for the weather was par-
feet. The spectators were limited In
Tiiirvtlmt ti rtrtli * l\ s fViA stnTitlfiltv r\f t Vl O
UlttllUUl a UUJJ wj nvi * /tv < i vj w * . IAAU
broad sidewalks , the stands , the
parks , the windows and the house
tops along the line of march to hold
them. The government departments
and the schools were closed for the
day , and practically tha entire popula
tlon of Washington turned out to do
honor to the veterans along with the
hundred thousand visitors to the city
President Reviews Grand Army.
The crowd was enthusiastic and out
spoken In admiration , greeting every
division of the procession with cheers
and dismissing It with a "God speed'
that had in It both praise and feeling
The president of the United States
also lent his energies to the enter
talnmeat of thecapital's guests. Una
be ) to endure the strain of reviewing
the column from a stand , he rose from
his reclining chair and had hlmsel
driven up and down the line. The
unusual Interest thus manifested was
appreciated by the old soldiers and
the president was everywhere re
ceived by them with loud applause.
Moro than five hours' time was con
sumed by the procession in passing
the reviewing stand in front of the
white house. There were at least 25 ,
000 men in line and the estimate o
Commandor-ln-Chief Torrance ran as
high as 30,000.
Every Kansan in the parade , ana
there were several hundred of them
there , carried an umbrella painted on
the outsldo to represent a huge sun
flower. This probably was the mos
unique display made by any state
though It was only little moro so than
that of Iowa , whose members one !
carried a big ear of native corn on the
side , where formerly canteens were
borne , these ears being suspended
from bright , broad , new yellow rib
bons. They passed the reviewing
stand shouting ; In unison "Hurrah
Hurrah , for Corn and Hay , Wo Are the
Boys from loway. " South Dakota. '
Eons carried long sticks bearing on
the point long ears of corn.
Last night the veterans held camp
fires in the big tents In the White lot
Colonel W. W. Dudley presided eve
the Army of the Potomac reunion
and the principal speakers were Gen
eral Daniel E. Sickles , General B. G
Warner , Corporal James Tanner and

The Sea Trout.
The gnmest of salt water fish , after
the striped bnss , is the wenkflsli , or sea
trout. The sport of angling for them
is generally enhanced because , feeding
ns they generally do near the surface ,
it is possible to fish for them with light
tackle. The best places to find them
in the vicinity of New York are Ja
maica bay , the southwestern shore of
Stntcn Island and the mouth of the
Shrewsbury river. While they have
been caught weighing upward of twen
ty pounds , n six or ten pounder is a
