SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 20. It ii prac
tically certain that the miners wllL not
go to work Monday, as was expected
from the action of the Philadelphia
conference and the Scrantou confer
ace yestrday.
Some oC the biggest of the local
companies are balking at the agree
ment to continue the 1U per cent agree
nemt ia force until April 1 next, as is
demanded by the resolutions of the
miners. They were willing enough,
yesterday to amend their notices to
conform to these demands, but today
they seem to have undergone a change
of heart, and only one operator of any
prominence would say outright that
he would make the modification. They
say it would be humiliating for them
to come out with an amendment to
their nouces.
As one prominent operator put it:
"The modification would serve but one
purpose, and that is to gratify a whim
of John Mitchell. We don't propose
to waste any energy bowing and scrap
ing to Mr. Mitchell."
WILKESBARRE. Pa., Oct. 20. The
strike leaders here are growing sus
picious that there is some kind of
an agreement between the coal com
panies by which they expect to break
up the miners' union. The offer of
the Reading company and the opposi
tion to the same on the part of the
other companies is something the min
ers cannot understand.
In a conference in Philadelphia
Wednesday the Lehigh Valley agreed
to the same terms with the Reading,
so far as their collieries were con
cerned, but the company refused to
make the same concessions to their
employes in the Wyoming district.
The officers of the United Mine
Workers here say there is no consist
ency in that. The sction of the Lack
awanna, Ontario & Western, Pennsyl
vania company and other large pro
ducers in combining with the Lehigh
Valley on the powder question tends
to confirm the views held by the offi
cers of the union that a concerted
effort is being made to get the better
of the union and Incite a break in
the ranks of the strikers. The opera
tors who participated in the confer
ence in Scranton say they are acting
in good faith.
HAZLETON, Pa.. Oct 20. As far as
the United Mine Workers officials are
concerned, matters are at a standstill
in the anthracite miners' contest with
the operators. There was nothing
new in the situation today. Much dis
appointment was expressed In this re
gion today because an early ending of
the strike was prevented by reason of
the powder grievance.

Average Crop of Potato. "
CHICAGO. Oct. 20. The potato crop
of the United States, according to
the Orange Juad Farmer's final reDort.
at the practical nletion of the har
vest, approximau 239,000,000 bushels,
or nearly 5.000,000 bushels less than
last rear, and a fairly good yield com
pared with the average of the last ten
years. Extremes in climatic condi
tions were responsible for holding the
crop within bounds. Otherwise, the
liberal area seeded last spring and the
favorable start given to the croo
would have brought a phenomenally
heavy yield.

FRANKFORT, Ky., Oct. 20. The

agreed on a report, which foreshadows
the passage of an election law this
week. A compromise substitute of

was adopted by the conference com
mittee. 16 to 4. and it is nearly cer
tain the bill will now pass.

LINCOLN, Naa., Oct. St. Ataini
aave been greatly simpliflai by Jadje
Munger af the federal coart la the suit
of the state against the First National
hank of Ainu, and Its stockholders.
The attorneys were prepared to read
reams of papers and to talk adlsssfy
on the complicated questio pressated.
but the judge ordered a special finding
of the facts, and the first witness, Aa
ditor Cornell, was called.
The case grows out of the failars of
the bank in 1897. which was a state de-
f pository at the time. Treasurer Bart-
ley had on deposit 140,824. Tweaty
flve thousand of 'this sum the state
seeks to recover, that being the maxi
mum the treasurer was allowed to de
posit under the law. Suit was origin
ally brought in the district court of
Harlan county, but was dismissed sad
transferred to the federal court.
This is set up by the defaamaass as
on of the grounds for deafease. Thay
also claim that the fact that the de
pository bond was not renewed at the
beginning of Hartley's second term
should excuse them from liability. It
has been proven that Bartley was bet
ting 6 per cent interest on his deposit.
but allowing the state only 3 per cent,
reserving half for himself. Judge Wil
liam Gaslin, one of the defendants,
says this agreement vitiates the con
tract entered into by the bank's sure
ties since it was entered into by Presi
dent Burr and Cashier Sullivan with
out the knowledge or ratification of
the board of directors.

SCRANTON, Oct 19. Representa
tives of nearly all the big companies of
the section conferred here today and
made an agreement to amend the no
tices already posted, attaching the fol
lowing: This company desires to say that it
is its intention to Day the advance ia
wages above noted until April 1, l9El,Aorthe distingalshed composer of anu-
and thereafter until further notice.
This was given to the press:
The representatives of the coal com
panies after their meeting stated that
they had ordered their men 10 per
cent advance as indicated by the no
tices they had posted, that this notice
specifically stated that the reduction
of powder from $2.75 to $1.50 would be
considered in arriving at the wages of
their contract miners. It was explained
when the notices were posted that the
offer was to stand until April 1, and
indefinitely thereafter, but inasmuch
as there seems to be some misunder
standing in this matter they have
agreed to add to their notice a clause
that it is their intention to pay the
advance in wages until April 1, 1901,
and thereafter until further notice.
The conference was held in the. of
fice of the Temple Iron company, in
the Board of Trade building, and was
attended by General Superintendent E.
E. Loomis of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna & Western, General Superin
tendent W. A Lathrop of the Lehigh
Valley. General Superintendent M. H.
Starrs of the Scranton Coal company
(Ontario & Western), President Wil
liam Connell of the Connell Coal com
pany, who is chairman of the indepen
dent operators' committee; General
Superintendent W. J. Richards of the
Lehigh St Wilkesbarre Coal company,
General Superintendent Morris Wil
liam of the Susquehanna Coal com
pany (Pennsylvania railway), General
Superintendent of the Pennsylvania
Coal company (Erie & Wyoming Coal
company), J. L. Crawford of the Tem
ple Iron company. General Superinten
dent Reese G. Brooks of the Long
cliffe, Lafflin & Greenwood Coal com
panies. National President Mitchell, District
President Nichols, District Secretary
John T. Dempsey and National Organ
izer Fred Dilcher of the United Mine
Workers have all been quoted as say
ing that the resolutions of the Scran
ton convention contemplated a
straight advance of 10 per cent for all
parts of the region and that the matter
of having this increase made up in
part by a decrease in the cost of pow
der In these upper regions, where
powder Is sold for $2.o a keg, was not
agreed to. The powder question, they
one and all said, was left out of the
present negotiations, with the under
standing that it should form one of
the grienvances to be adjudged and
which the officers say the operators
tave agreed to have with their men
"ta take up any grievances they may
have."
President Mitchell, when informed
of the action of the operators, stated
that he would have to decline to dis
cuss its probable effect until he had
given the matter careful consideration.
He would not say whether or not it
would be possible to deal with the dif
ficulty without another convention.
President Nichols, whose whole dis
trict is affected by the powder ques
tion, said this evening it looked to him
as though another convention was
necessary. "I do not know that the
delegates will consent to waiving their
demand for a straight increase and al
lowing the substitution of this clause
about powder which the operators are
so insistent about" said he, "but with
out their consent I do not see how the
matter can be adjusted. To me it looks
like a prolongation of the fight"

PARIS, Oct 19. (New York World"
Cablegram.) Empress Frederick can-
live more than six weeks. Both
aerbr William, her son, and Queen
vTktoria, her mother, were so notified
yesterday by the physicians in attend
ance. The dowager empress- is afflicted
with cancer of the spine, according to
a high German physician who has ar
rived and who met here one of the
sreaoetof British diplomats. The
Llatter repeated the information to me.
Sir Arthur Sullivan Is in Paris in
charge of two attendants. He is on his
way ta the Riviera, but was compelled
by extreme weakness to break the trip
aad- step here for rest To some
friends who called on him he express
ed, wimapif as sure that he shall never
be able to return to England, realizing
that his case is past helping. An emi
nent French physician, an old admirer
sic, visited him today and afterward
concurred in the invalid's conviction
that he was doomed to an early death.
It is uncertain how soon, if ever. Sir
Arthur will be able to proceed south.
SEES NEW ERA F0K AMERICA.
ArehbUhoa Ireland Talks of This Cot
try's Position la Commerce
NEW YORK. Oct 19. Archbishop
Ireland, just returned from an extend
ed trip abroad, today gave out a state
ment of his impression of the showing
made by tha Americans in Paris. The
only criticism to be made, in Ms opin
ion, is that in most cases artistic effect
has been sacrificed for plain utility.
This, he said, resulted in a failure to
attract as might otherwise have been
the"case. The number of awards made
to American exhibitors should make
the people here proud of the part
taken by the United States. The most
pleasing feature, he added, was the
American pavilion, where all Ameri
cans were made to feel at home. By
the exhibit this country's resources
are better known than ever before, as
seen by an increased demand for our
products.
"A new era," said he. "has set in for
us in commercial and diplomatic rela
tions and with the opening of the
twentieth century America steps into
the front rank of nations."

CHICAGO, Oct 19. Board of Trade
operators will tomorrow enter into
what they call the last skirmish with
the bucket shops. Thirteen of these
concerns have been obliged to close
their doers and thirteen more have at
last given up their fight to secure the
Board of Trade market quotations by
roundabout means. One concern today
was still using the quotations under a
temporary injunction, but this case
comes up on court tomorrow, when
counsel for the board will present ar
guments for its dissolution. In view
of Judge Kohlsaat's decision enjoining
a number of local bucket shops from
using the board's quotations, the direc
tors expect another-victory.

China Haa Proposals.
LONDON, Oct 19. A representative
'of the Associated Press learns that
Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang have
flnally succeeded in drawing up a joint
proposal for a settlement
Beyond the fact that it is likely to
require considerable alteration before
being presentable, nothing is learned
here regarding the actual terms. The
Qkinese minister here. Sir Chih Chen
Lo Feng Luh, professes ignorance of
such proposal, but it can be definitely
aid that it is now engaging the atten
tion of the British foreign office.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct IS. The
great strike of the anthracite mine
workers of Pennsylvania, which began
September 17, practically ended to
day, when the Philadelphia 4 Read
ing Iron am?. Coal company and the
Lehigh Valley Coal company agreed to
abolish the sliding scale in their re
spective regiees and to grant an ad
vance In wages of 10 per cent net
the advance to remain in operation
until April 1, 1901, or thereafter.
The decision was arrived at after
a conference between representatives
of the individual coal operators and
the large coal carrying roads. The
conference began yesterday. Today's
action was the culmination of the re
cent meeting of the individual oper
ators at Scranton following the mine
workers' convention in the same city.
Nearly all of the collieries in the
coal region had previously posted no
tice granting an advance of 10 per
cent The mine workers, besides this,
demanded the sliding scale in the Le
high and Schuylkill regions abolish
ed, the increase to be guaranteed un
til April 1, and other differences sub
mitted to arbitration. The individual
operators agreed to everything.
It is conceded that the result of to
day's conference is a complete victory
for the men.
All the demands of their convention
are acceded to, and as one of the in
dividual operators put it the oper
ators go a little further in maintain
ing the advance after April L This
same operator said:
"It is all up to the miners. We
have agreed to everything, nothing re
mains but for them to return to work
as soon as the notices are posted by
the managers. These notices will con
form to the Reading's notice. I look
for a resumption af ojiorations by
Monday at the latest The conference
was entirely harmonious and every
phase of the strike situation was gone
ever."
Just how soon the order notifying
the men that the strike is over will
be posted can only be conjectured. It
is believed here that no order to re
turn will be issued until a notice
similar to that of the Beading and
Lehigh companies is posted at all the
mines.
The Reading company's notice reads:
"It hereby withdraws the notice
posted October 3, 1900, and to bring
about practical uniformity in the ad
vance of wages in the several coal
regions, gives notice that it will sus
pend the operation of the sliding scale,
will pay 19 per cent advance on Sep
tember wages until April. 1901, and
thereafter until further notice; and
will take up with its mine employes
any grievences which they may
have."
No formal announcement has been
made by the Lehigh Valley Coal com
pany, but a3 the Reading's statement
has been made public, Vice President
Garrett of the Lehigh company said:
"Concerning our operations In the
Schuylkill country, our notion will be
similar to that of the Reading. In
other regions certain things must be
treated separately, and we have not
decided with regard to them. These
matters are in the handi of Superin
tendent Lathrop."
Culvin. Pardee A Co., extensive indi
vidual operators in the Hazleton dis
trict late this afternoon announced
that they will tomorrow post notices
similar to that issued by the Reading
company. This indicates what the in
dividual operators will do.
RUSSIA AFTER NEW LOAN.

NEW YORK, Oct 18. The Evening
Post today says: The reported nego
tiations of New York and Paris bank
ers with agents of the Russian gov
ernment were denied by persons in
position to know. While it is con
sidered doubtful whether a portion of
the loan could have been placed in
Paris under any circumstances this
season, the project is deemed impossi
ble now that the Bank of France has
concluded to give up some of its gold
to New York. A financier identified
with previous movements of the kind
declared today that it was idle to talk
of another Russian loan so far as New
York is concerned.

tacr Creek Warnings.
LANSFORD, Pa., Oct 17. About
1.500 men and sixty women and girls
marched eighteen miles from the
south side Hazleton region during the
night for the Panther Creek valley,
where they expected to close all uf
the ten collieries of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation company, but just as
the weary marchers were nearing
their desination this morning they
were met on the road by three com
panies of infantry and at the point of
the bayonet were driven back four
miles to Tamaqua and dispersed. An
other crowd of 800 strikers from the
north side of Hazleton also marched
here and succeeded in closing the com
pany's No. 1 colliery at Nesquebouing,
near Mauch Chunk, before the crowd
was scattered. The presence of the
soldiers was entirely unexpected and
the strikers were much crestfallen,
that they failed In accomplishing tha
object of their long march.
The march on Panther Creek valley
was on the strikers' program for sev
eral days. The United Mine Workers,
ever since the strike started, have
been attempting to close the collieries
of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
company in tnis region. Organizers
were constantly in the region, but as
a rule they did not meet with much
success and it. was decided to U3e
stronger methods to get the men em
ployed in the ten 'mines to go out on
a strike. Accordingly it was arranged
that a big demonstration should be
held in the valley It was to have been
held yesterday morning, but owing to
the heavy rain and muddy roads it
was called off until this morning.
Those who took part were strikers
from McAdoo, Yorktown. Bunker Hill
and Silver Brook, from the south side
of Hazleton. and the Freeland. Drtf
ton, Jeddo and Beaver Meadow strik
ers fronTthe north side. The women
and girls all came from McAdoo.
which borough is the only one in the
Hazleton region which has organized
female marchers.
The marchers came down like two
armies, the south side mea marching
by way of Tamaqua, while the strik
ers from the north side went over the
mountains at Beaver Meadow and en
tered the Panther Creek valley by way
or Nesquehonlng. The south side
army concentrated at McAdoo, and the
order to march was given at 10:30
o'clock last night There were sev
eral fife and drum corps and a brass
band ia the line. The women and
girls were conveyed in two large
caaaibuses The whole town of Mc
Adoo was out to see the marchers
3tart Until 12 o'clock the night was
'very dark, it being difficult to see any
distance in the mountain passes, but
after midnight the moon came out
from behind a bank of clouds, and for
the remainder of the journey the
marchers had plenty of light As the
town of Tamaqua was entered at 2 y.
m. the strikers began to make as much
noise as they could, in order to awaken
the people who were unaware of the
coming- of the strikers. The marchers
went through the town without stop
ping for rest and headed for Coaldale,
four and a half miles away.
At a point half a mile from Coaldale
there is a sharp turn in the road and
as the newspaper men rounded it
there came a command of "Halt!" and
about fifty feet in front of them stood
solid rows of soldiers, who were
stretched across the road with bayon
ets fixed. The sheriff of Schuylkill
county was with them. The command
er of tne troops, speaking to the wait
ing crowd, said:
"In the name of the people of the
state of Pennsylvania. I command you
to disperse and to return whence you
came."
The strikers began to protest that
they could not be stopped on a pub
lic highway, and many of them
showed a disposition to resist the sol
diers. The officer in charge of the
troops, however, kept his men in po
sition and the strikersr seeing that the
soldiers evidently meant business,
slowly began returning toward Tam
aqua. WRNS RACK THE RUCK ELA6S.
