cold, hard cuah. It needed In every

The most Important of these is to pay the

these men: "You shall be paid for your
work." I have not the nioiiev to make
good the promise, and I hup" "'id believe
thnt the eountry will relieve the situation.
AVe must have this city cleaned up at any

at the same time done well, (hero tuny be

city during the early part of tho week has
In consequence been greatly reduced.
No Attempt lit lilcntlllciitloii.
Tho work of burning bodies Is still going
on, they being hurried to the llrei as toon
ns possible after being taken from the
water. All of last night and all of today
there were numerous Arcs along tho shore
and In every ono of them there were from
three to twenty bodies. There Is no longer
tho slightest attempt nt Identification. No
effort Is made to ascertain whether the
body !s that of a white or colored person.
All of them havo been so long In the water
under n blazing sun that It would bo ex
ceedingly dllllcult to determine the Iden
tity nt tho body unless by tho clothing nnd
In most cases the bodies nro destitute of
garments.
"Pull them out of tho water us soon as
seen nnd throw thum Into tho Humes ns soon
as taken frcm tho water" Is tho order nnd It
Is effectively carried nut.
Tho residents of (ialvcston are of the
opinion that there nro moro dead than the
outsiders coming in aro generally willing
to admit. It Is beyond all possibility that
any actual count will ever bo had, but thu
best evidence obtainable, and allowing for
those bodlo3 which havo been cast up by
tho waters after being oilco thrown Into
tho gulf and twlcu counted, nnd for the
number that wero carried out to sen and
will never bo heard of, n total list of tho
dead cannot bo far from S.000. Tho people
of (Jalveston say that they know that It
will amount anywhere from 5,000 to 10,0no
nnd tho estimates are for the most pint
In the neighborhood of tho larger figure.
(leneral McKlbben gives tho estimate of
1,000 In tho city of Galveston alone. All
up and down tho coast there has been loss
of llfo that will not bo learned of for
weeks nnd mouths, if over. The total
number of dead from the storm In this stnto
cannot bo far from 1.000.
Adjutant General Scurry, who Is a most
capable and elllclent officer, has succeeded
In placing tho gangs of Uborlng men Into
something like order nnd tho work of clean
ing up tho city Is progressing upon a much
more systematic manner than nt any time
heretofore.

DALLAS. Pept. 1,1. There Is urgent call
fcr frtsh troops at llalveston. Thosj there
nre worn out with guard duty, burying the
dend and cleaning up the wreck or nre sick
from the unsanitary conditions. Governor
Payers last night ordered the Craddock
I.lKht Infantry of Terrlll to Oalvcstnn. Tho
company reached Dallas today and de
parted for the south.
A special from (lalvestou says: There Is
no concealment to be made of the fact that
n pesi Hence is feared. Efforts of tho local
and military authorities aro directed now
to minimizing this new danger. They nrc
sending tho women nnd children to the
Interior ns fast ns possible. All the ablo
bedlut men must remain for n time nt
least. There is work for thousands of
them nnd work that must be done. The
disposition of bodies continues to be one
of tho largest duties nnd besides this
there nro yet in the city and on tho Island
thousands of carcasses which need atten
tion. Tho stagnant water in the streets,
lllled with all manner of decomposing mat
ter. Is a threat against the living which
makes man tremble. In saying that 10.000
barrels of lime tnn be used to good ad
vantage no exaggeration Is made. Tho
community that will donate n fralnload of
lime nt oneo and get It there will render a
greater service than by giving twice the
value In money. Send nn nbundnnco of
lime nnd other disinfectants and help re
move a danger far moro Imminent than
starvation.

NEW YOHK, Sept. IS, lfiOO.-Some high
grndo financiering has been done In this city
within recent years and ono of the con

remembered that President John A. Me
Call of the New York Llfo went to Wash
ington nt the time when this country made
Its Inst govcrnmentnl loan In January, lSliO,
nnd put In it bid on behalf of his company
for $10,000,000 of the loan. Fortunntely for
tho policy holders of the company tho bid
happened to bo ut exactly the right llRtiro
und the company obtained tho entire $10.
nOO.fOO. It Is understood thnt tho company
has told these bonds from time to time nt
an average profit of 15 per cent. At the
ptcsont time, when American government
bonds nro selling on a 2 per cent basis,
President McCall. evidently foreseeing that
the Euiopcan governments would tills sum
mer bo in nbout the same condition llnan
elnlly that tho United States was four or
live vears ago. has gone to Europe nnd
through his negotiations secured for his
company $:'.300,000 of tho new Hrltlsh ex
chequer loan, which has already ndvanred
SVj per cent. He has also secured JVOOO.OOO
of tho new Imperlnl German 4 per cent gold
loan, which, It Is understood, tho company
Gets at liar.
All this U considered pietty good busi

of the company's policies It Is easy to tin

because their company Is a purely mutual

HAVANA, Sept. 15. At this moment,
when tho definite result of the most im

balance, tho demeanor of the public Is un
expectedly placid. The undercurrent of
keen Interest Is demonstrated only by occa
sional outbreaks of oratory among excited
groups in the streets. Otherwise, today
being n national hollda;-. Havana Is even
moro unlet thiin usual.
Conveyances were busy all day carrying
votcta to the polls. It seems n foregone
conclusion thnt the national party will have
a majority of the delegates to be chosen
lu io Havana province. There Is no tele
graph communication with several of the
rural districts and the results will be
brought In by mouted mcssengets. The gov

tho postmaster at Clenfugos did not rcc

ACTION OF UNION MEETS WITH SUCCESS
President Mitchell, vvllli Portion of
Olllee St n IT, Is Uvpeeted nl
llnrtetou to in he Personal
(iiarwe of the sirU,
SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 15. The position
i of the United Mine Workeis wns today fur
I ther strengthened In the lickawntina legion
I by the going aul of tho mlueM nud laborers
at o half-duzeti other collerlcs - prim Ipmly
Delaware .v Hudson operations in th.s city
thu Northwest mine of the Temple Iroti
company, the Clinton collieries of the Dela
wore & Hudson ut Vandllhg, as well ns the
Clifford and Forest City collieries of the
Hillside Coal and Iron company at Forest
City.
Tho day will close with ns near u com
pleto shut down lu tho entire Lackawiiuun
vulley ns cuu be Imagined, for It Is almost
rertalu that not a colliery lu this district
can withstand tho uppnretit determination
of tho mlno workers to maintain their de
mands by n strike. At tho headquarters
of district No. 1 today Fred Dllcher. Hit
national committeeman in charge, had as
suring reports from the president of the
local union, thu men having decided, ac
cording to reports, that whero work was
not already suspended It would be today.
In recent years many coat washers have
been erected hereabouts und they nro
handling thousands of tons of coal dnlly
at a trilling expense for labor, none or
them employing moro than thirty men and
boys. These all will bo closed, too, shut
ting off n large tonungo of fuel that has
been going to the eastern states for factory
use. Tho number of men and boys Idle to
day In tho district covering the Lacka
wanna und Wyoming vallcjs Is estimated
at headqiiurters to be fully 10,000.
The strike Is already having an effect on
the railroads, which aro laying oil many of
their train crews, especially the Delaware
& Hudson, tho Ontario k Western and the
Lackawanna. It Is given out today that
thero Is a general dctcrmlnattcu among tho
engineers and trainmen of the latter road
to haul no coal mined by non-union men.
It is said t licit the engineers of the Lacka
wanna may even refuse to draw coal from
tho Port Morris yard and from other plnces
along the lino where coal Is stored. The
business community Is feeling moro gloomy
tcduy than ever ovur the situation and
already there Is talk of tho closing up of
mnuy stores.
S u ii-lin tend on In Confer.
The superintendents of the different
mining companies here wero again In con
ference today nud from now on will
meet regularly. They have thoroughly re
viewed th- situation, and while deploring
generally the strike of their . ..ployes, they
do not see how It Is possible to change
from the decision heretofore made, namely,
tho Impossibility of granting any Increases
In wages und tho determination not to
recognize the United Mlno Workers of
America. General Superintendent Loomls
of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
company Is looked upon ns tho head of the
superintendents' organization. Today lie
said:
"The position of the companies is thor
oughly dellncd and there will be no de
viation. We have conferred and while we
think the men havo been Ill-advised wo
are decided that none of their demuuds
shall bo met. A lino of action has been de
termined upon, und this will begin on Mon
day morning with tho blowing of the
breaker gongs calling the men to their
work. Thoso who respond will be given
pUces and proterted In their work. If
necessary, these men will be placed In ono
of the central mines, so as to bo em
ployed together nnd their working safety
the better assured. The supply of stock
coal now in Right can meet the market
demands for upwards of two weeks. After
that thero must come n coal famine, or
the Inrush of bituminous coal that will
vvlpo out a largo part of the anthrnclto
market unless tho men now deluded by
false hopes return to work."
At strllio headquarters today Committee
man Dllcher said the financial statemeut of
the United Mlno WorkerB for July nnd the
comments thereon distributed by the oper
ators In circular form does not show the
defense fund of the organization. The
statement Is regularly printed for public
Information, but tho condition of tho de
fense fund Is never made public prop
erty. "It is suHlclent," ho said, "to assure
tho strikers that wo havo tho means on
which to keep up the struggle for Justice."
Collieries Hun Shoil-llanileil.
HA.LETON, Pa., Kept. 15. Some of tho
collieries in thlb region are running short
handed today. President Mitchell Is ex
pected hero tonight and ns soon as he ar
rives ho will take personal charge of the
strike. Ho will bo accompanied by a por
tion of his ofllco staff.
Tho men employed at the Collornn and
Heaver Meadow collerles of the A. S. Van
Wycklo company will nold a meeting to
night to decldo whether to strike or not.
Tho men wero warned this week by I.
Pardee, ndmlnistratur of the estate con
trolling tho mines, that If they were so ills
pored thoy could go out on Monday morn
ing, but that tho collieries would bo aban
doned ns soon as the strike was setild.
What effect this will have remains to be
seen. As some nro inclined to strike and
others not, a spirited meeting Is antici
pated,
TNo local mine workers' leaders arc busy
rivaling for the Inauguration of ihe
strike. A meeting will bo held lu this
city tonight nnd another In Freeland. To
morrow another opon air mass meeting Is
booked for Freeland, at which President
Mitchell and P. J. Mugulro, president of the
Carpenters and Joiners' union, will speak.
Meetings have been nrranged In every
town in tho district and a final appeal will
bo mado to the men to obey tho order of the
national president. I. Pardeo & Co. is
Ilkoly to meet a committer of their men
fomo time today for thu consideration of a
list of grievances.
Detectives aro gnld to bo arriving on
every train and fully 250 nro reported in
various mines In this neighborhood. An
ngent for n barbed wire company stuted to
day that ho had told thousands of pounds
of wlro to tho operators. This Indicates
that tho mines will bo fenced In and bar
riers erected around tho breaker houses,
beyond which no Intruder would daro ven
ture. Tho decision of tho men employed by G.
H. Marklo & Co. to not strlko until the ex
piration of tho ten days which the company
lias been allowed for making answer to
lis demands, which It submitted Inst night,
means that the Jeddo and Oakdalo collieries,
employing about 1,500 hands, will bo op
erated .Monday morning, despite the strike
order.
Tho Obervnlo colliery of tho samo com
pany will probably not bo closed down be
cause tho Mlno OwnnrH' union i
not btrong In that town and onb
a rew miners irom inni pini i
wero present at last night's meeting. P
appears from this that tho strike cannot be
mado general throughout the Ilnzletnn dis
trict, but Henjamlu James, who Is In chargt
of the heudquarteis of the mice workeis
unit lu close Intercourse with the men In
every hamlet within a radius of fifteen
miles dcinrcs that there nre many union
men at both Jeddo und Oakdalo, among
them the forelgn-spcnklng clement, nnd
they are determined to quit He claims
that the Mine Workers' organization '
strong enough nt Jeddo nnd Oakdalo to seri
ously cripple operations nt both mines.
A committee representing Ihe miners em
ployed at the Cranberry colliery of A. Par
dee Co. held n conference today with A.
Pardee, at which they presented n number
of grlevnnces directly ufferllng them. Ono
of the demands made was that the price of
powder be reduced. The committee was
told thnt If a reduction was granted on
powder tho price paid for certain kinds of
work would be cut down proportionately
The conference wns unproductive of direit
results nnd another meeting will be ar
ranged for. The men. following the refusal
of the company to make a concession on
powder, are now divided on the strike ques
tion. A prominent fuetor In tho situation
Is Ihe fcrclgn element. If the Hungarians.
Poles nnd Italians quit work it is certain
that there will be n tie-up, despite the
stand taken by the English-speaking
miners.
The first Important conference of strike
lenders was held at mine workers' head
quarters today. Henjamlu James, Organiz
ers Courtrlght and Detnpsey nnd President
Duffy of District No. 7 were present.
At tho conclusion of tho conference,
which took place behind closed doors, Mr.
James miu
"On the basis of the numerous reliable
reports recilvcd by me from all parts of
tho Hnzleton region I assert that thero will
bo a complete tie-tip on Monday morning.
Various statements have been given out I
the operators for the purpose of deceiving
the men, but you can state positively that
nil hands will go out."
VI ii ii j Collieries Shut llinvn.
Many collieries were shut down ut noon
today. Hundreds of men removed their
tools and are ready for tho strike. Orders
wero Issued nt the ronl company olllccs to
night to the elfcct that nil cnllhrles would
bo operated on full time next week. If
not enough men reprrt, then work will
be shut down until tho strike Is settled.
No attempt will be made to replace
strikers with other men and precaution
Is being taken not to Itnlte irresponsible
strikers nnd outsiders to nets of violence
A great ehnnge has taken plnee within
the last twelve hours and a general strike
seems Inevitable. Today wns pav day
at most of tho collieries and the miners
havo enough cash on hand to see them
through several weeks.
Twenty-live Iinkerton detectives are said
to havo arrived tonight from Philadelphia
This Indicates that the companies will
mnke every effort to guard the'r property
In case of trouble. The , oal and iron p lire
will not consequently take nidi an in live
part In this strike as tiny did three vears
ago.
