THE DEHARo LAND CASE,
PRNNSYLVANIA.
SUSPENSION OF COAL MINING.

SCRANTON, Dec. 6.-The miners in the dis
tricts operated by the Delaware & Lsckawan-
ma Railroad Company to-day resolved, by q
vote of over 1000 to 400, to suspend work. The
Company reduced the wages of miners to As
cents car, and upon this the suspension is
based. All the men employed at the Della
ware & Hudson Canal Companys mines and
but apparently not upon any definite action as
in the case of Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Companies men. The latter COM
pany claims TO have only 100000 tons of coal
in its yards at different points east and west,
but the quantity is probably many times great
err. The Scranton and other miring districts
remain perfectly quiet and no disturbances Of
any kind are apprehended. The supply Of
coal in stock by the three great companies is
probably sufficient to meet all demands for
some months. The strike has been very deliber-
ate and apparently determined on both sides.

After seven hours fighting the enemy failed to
carry the positions of the French and retreat
ed, leaving his dead and wounded on the field,
The losses were IL, 900 to 1000. On Saturday
the French reached Marine and took up posi-
ton. The enemy made no attempt to resist
them. The troops that attacked the French
were Saxons and Wurtemburgers. Their mum.
bers exceeded 100000 and their losses must
have been extraordinary, for the next day they
were SO weakened that they suffered the French
to cross the river unOpposed These successes
created the widest enthusiasm in Paris.
