The tenth annual reunion OF the
Soldiers aud sailors Of Northern Mich
igan. held at Cheboygan last week was
an unqualified success. The citizens
of that flourishing city had done all
things possible forthe comfort Of their
guests and their acts were fully appre-
ciated. The Fair grounds were used
for the encampment, and there were
comfortable barracks and tents to &C
commoda.e khe veterans.
About two hundred old soldiers
were present and the fraternity OF feel
ing among the boys who wore the blue
was never more clearly shown. The
first forenoon was given up TO visiting
and street parade. After dinner the
assembly was sounded. and the exer-
cises opene by prayer by Rev. A. +.
Cook, followed by an eloquent address
of welcome by Hon. Oscar Adams of
Cheboygap. which, in the absence OF
President Bennett, was responded to
by o. Palmer. The exercises were in
terspersed with music by the martial.
cornet bands and n glee club.
Wednesday morning brought an ac-
cession to their numbers, and by nine
o'clock fully two thousand people were
present, which number was doubled
during the day. The responses to the
different toasts were loudly applanded
as reference was made to the service
of the veterans in saving the Union.

TO SETTLE THE READING CUES
TON.
Preliminary Conference Between Rail-
road and Miners Representatives.


There seems now to be a prospect OF q speedy
SCI Element OF the Reading strike. At Philadelphia
yesterday General Manager s B. whiting, OF the
Coal and Iron Co., held quite lengthy conference
with General Manager Mcleod and other Reading
officials, and although all OF those concerned are
extremely reticent to what transpred. the belief
Is generally entertained that preliminary steps
were taken looking TO settlement within short
time either by compromise or arbitration.
In the evening delegates OF the miners district
assembly. the three members OF the general execu-
tive board OF the Knights Of Labor, and Officers OF
the Reading road convention, held a conference.
No legal action could be taken, but the general
opinion seemed TO be that the strikers were right,
fnasmuch as the company refused to maintain Its
agreement
A Philadelphia special also asserts that Messrs.
Childs and DTexel arranged for an informal con-
ference between Master Workman w. I. Lewis, OF
ONO, who has been called upon to represent the
miners, and President Corbin. They were clos ted
Tor more IN 10 an hour. IL Is understood that the
result OF TINS conf renee VIII be formal meeting
to-day which, 1t is expected, will result In the
settlement OF the strike, and possibly immediate
resumption OF work. The executive board OF the
Knights OF Labor failed TO get quorum yester-
day. In Vidun members ex PRESSED sympathy
with the strikers, but the board held no meeting.
Inns Is part OF the plan for settling the strike
quickly, The executive board not being mixed up
own way.
NoL d car OF anthracite coal passed through
Reading from the Schuylkll regions from noon
yesterday up TO a late hour last evening. As soon
as the crews employed IN the coal traffic come In
they are ordered TO repo of duty, and told that
Jney Will De sent for as soon as needed. This
means that they will not be wanted until the
mines start up again. The men claim that not a
company mine will resume until all the "Scab"
railroLderS are taken of and those who were dis
charged because they We're knights taken on
again.
A Shamokin dispatch says the Enterprise coal
Co. ana Its miners have reached an al reement.
The miners will receive the per cent advance
over the s2.JO basis, am the company also agrees
10 use Pennsylvania Railroad engines In hauling
the coal, SO that non-uniOn men will not handle
the product OF the mine
The men at one OF the Scott mines came out yes
terday Tor the Columbus scale, and IL Is expected
mat within the next twenty flour hours all or the
mines will have been vacated.
A committee or merchants was formed at Potts
Vile yesterday to wait on President COrbin and
urge arbitration of the miners strike.
Inc Philadelphia Press to-day says: "The con-
ference In this city yesterday between the mem
