(.President Mitchell has gone to New York on a secret mission, leaving the end of the mine work ers' strike apparently as far oft as ever. Every local union of tbe miners' organi sation throughout the hard coat belt held special meetings either last night or todsy and resolved to remain on strike until the mine owners grant them some concession. And while the reports of these meetings came pouring In to Wllkesbarre President Mitchell dictated a letter to the president, Jn which he gave his answer to the propo sition tha,t the strikers return to work and trust to' have their condition Improved through an Investigating commission. What tho answer of tb miners' chief Is bs refused to divulge, but It Is difficult to conceive that with the replies of the local unions plied around him hs could do other wise than respectfully decline. Mr. Mitchell sent his letter to Washing ton before he had heard from all the locals and at 8 o'clock In the afternoon, ac companied by the three dlstrlot presidents. left for New York. As Nsw York Is tbe headquarters of the cosl operators a rumor Immediately spread thst a settlement was In prospect, but Mr. Mitchell and his col leagues would not say whom they expected to meet.

SPEECH IS CAUSE OF UPROAR Tumultuous Scenes Mark the Reas sembling of the llnnaarlaa Parliament. BUDA PEST, Hungary, Oct. . Tho lower house of tbe Hungarian Parliament reassembled today, with a repetition t of the tumultuous scenes which marked last session. Vice President Barab' "", Kossuthlst, declared that the recent nv tlatlons looking to the further renewal w the agreement fixing the proportionate cost of the admtstntion of the common affairs of Austria-Hungary had been unavailing and asserted that Austria was trying to despoil and ruin Hungary with the conni vance of the emperor-king. Amid a tremendous uproar which his re marks created, Herr Barabas shouted that while he bowed respectfully before the king, he must adhere to his opinion regard ing the emperor. Barabas was thereupon called to order and was Informed that If he used such expressions he would not be allowed to spesk. This led the Leftists to declare that all steps to arrive at an agreement with Austria would be blocked. Premier De Siell then rose and. speaking at first am'.d an uproar, said: "It has been Insinuated that It Is his majesty's Intention to ruin the deatlny of Hungary. This statement I must solemnly and categorically repel. I declare that in these delicate and difficult negotiations with Austria his majesty has not exerted any influence upon me. I have the right to ask you to believe this, not as politicians swayed by party passion, but as serious men. I assure you Ms majesty has always preserved the most strict neutrality." His majesty explained that while recog nizing the undying merits of Kossuth, the latter bad placed himself at variance with the whole nation In maintaining that the emperor of Austria could never be king of Hungary, hence it was Impossible' for the government to attend the festivities In Kossuth's honor.
