The Miners Strike,

Po1TsvILLE, Pa, May 1.-The report in
circulation 10 many portions of the coal region
that the difficulty would be arranged to-day
between the coal men and mixers is untrue !;
nor arc the prospects good for settlement by
May 18Th, as mauy anticipated. The miners
are holding out as heretofore, and show no
signs of yielding. The special policemen con-
tnue on duty guarding the mines, pumps and
branch railroads They occ is!onaily have
trouble with the men, though there is nothing
serious to report Of late. We have information
that the miners 10 the Scranton and Wilkes
barre regions, who have long been working
without interruptions, will forward 100000
next week for distribution among their breth-
rem on strike in this region.
