RESUMING WORK.
Ten-Day PrOvisO Disregarded by
Pittsburg District Miners.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept 14.-A large num-
Der of mines in the district started to-day,
and still larger number will be in working
order in the morning. AT least 5000 of the
rail miners will be at work by Wednesday
evening, and quite a number of river dig
gers will also resume.
President Patrick Dolan to-day met the
men of the Wheeling division at Finley
vile. He made a speech to LOCO of them
at the Hacket mine. He did not commit
himself to the men as he had done to the
operators as to the ten-day clause, but as
a result they unanimously agreed to start
work tomorrow. With the exception of the
Anderson mine all of them will be busy
while the convention is being held in Pitts
burg. The exception is on account of i'm
provements necessary before the men can
work but at the Anderson mine the men
will be handling picks again as soon as they
get in.
The Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Coal Com
pany, which owns the mines at Gastonville,
Snowden and the first pool. has had men
at work below the rate. They have been
told that they will now get the same rate
as paid in the other mines of the division.
and will also start work at once. This
makes uniformity all along the Wheeling
division. Everything is in an uproar there.
The operators are telegraphing for cars
get at 65 cents j. Z. Boyle, of the Hacket
mine, says that his mine will be working
full in the morning. The Keeling Coal Com
pany's mine at Licks was working yes
terday and six cars of coal were got out.
This is the first break over the ten-day
clause in any considerable numbers, and
Dolan did not object. Dolan left for Me-
Donald and Cecil, where he had a meeting
with a committee of the men in that field
tonight.
Little has yet been done in the Panhandle
district in coal mining. The miners are
waiting until after the convention. to be
held tomorrow. Although the majority
seem to be in favor of not countenancii1g
the ten-day clause of the Columbus con-
vention ali are not. There IS liable to be
a lively fight over the breaking of the ten
day clause when the matter comes up oe-
fore the convention. Jacob Aufholder, one
Of the leaders Of the miners in the McDon-
aid field, told Dolan that he and his men
thought the pledge ought 10 be kept Aur-
holder met Dolan after the conference Mon
day night and, when he heard OF the COM
promise made he denounced it and Doan
for making IT, There are likely to be some
Of the delegates at the meeting tomorrow
who will be Of the same opinion as Mr.. Auf-
holder. Besides the breaking OF the ten
day clause the convention Will likely vote
TO continue the camps around the mines OF
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Com
pany. Information viii have to be given

RIOT AT THE DARR NINE.
Machine Workers MObbed by Djgger'
-One Man Seriously Hurt.


PITTSBURG. Pa. Sept. 1.-THE Darr
mine on the Youghiogheny river. operated
by Osborne and Saeger of Cleveland, o.,
was the scene of a riot to-day which will
probably result in the death of at least one
man. The machine miners started to work
on Monday, and to-day a mob of diggers
who We're opposed to the men working,
gathered at the pit to give the workers a
hot reception when they came out of the
mine. AS the miners began coming out
they were stoned back into the pit, and
several shots were fired into the pit mouth
after the retreating men. One man whose
name cannot be learned, more daring than
the rest, ventured into the open and was
stoned numerically. He will probably die
from the affects of the abuse.
Despite the arrests yesterday and the pos
itive commands Of the deputy sheT1ffs the
strikers encamped near the Plum Creek
mine together with fifteen or twenty won-
but were not interfered with. About one
hundred and fifty men were in line The
women marcherS who were arrested yes
terday were released on bail and We're at
the miners headquarters to-day. One of
the women said: I'VE are going to march
tomorrow morning. and will not let the
deputies stop us. We do not violate the
law, but the deputies do. They insult the
women and spit in their faces. They try
to get us TO go on company property, and
even pull us on so that they can arrest
us. We intend to keep on the public road,
and they cannot prevent us from march
ing"

Four Hundred Ounces of the Drug
Seized in q New York Saloon.

NEW YORK, Sept IA conspiracy to
smuggre large quantities of phenacetine, in
which several prominent druggists in this
city are said to be involved, was nipped
to-day by the seizure Of 400 ounces Of the
drug in a saloon keepers ice box in Ho-
boken. Great restrictions are placed around
the importation Of phenacetine. and the
tariff upon it is heavy. August Liebe-
hauser, a saloon keeper of Hoboken, was

BATTLE SHIP DAMAGED
INDIANA IMPROPERLY SUPPORTED
IN HALIFAX DRY DOCK.
Bottom of the Pride of Uncle Sam Al
legged to Have BuIged Under
the Forward Turret.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14-A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Halifax says:
During the recent docking of the battle
ship Indiana her bottom bulged under the
forward turret. The fault is attributed to
Naval Constructor Bowles, of New York
He came here to see that the docking was
properly done. The weight of the turrets
was so great that the bottom sank enough
to seriously affect the turret supports. The
dock officials say that they have docked
British naval vessels much heavier than
the Indiana without trouble, and they re-
gret the accident to the Indiana because
critics in the United States will be dis
posed to throw blame on them and accuse
them of purposely trying to cripple one Of
the best vessels in the American navy.
Washington special to the Journal and
Advertiser says: The matter of the dock
ing of the Indiana at Halifax is now before
the Navy Department in a report from
Captain Taylor her commanding officer
The department officials try to make light
of the matter, but it is declared, neverthe-
less, that the damage is really serious,
which viii require extensive repairs as soon
as the vessel can be detached from the
squadron of evolution. Although the dock
ing was in charge of Constructor Bowles,
of the New York navy yard, who had been
sent to Halifax for that purpose, the safety
-
failure of those in charge of the docking
to observe the simple precaution Of placing
sufficient blocks under those places along
the keel where the greatest weight should
naturally come. The distance between the
keel blocks, which are made of heavy oak
timber, seems to have been too wide to sup
port the enormous weight which in vessels
of the Indiana class is concentrated on
the lines of the turrets. After the ship had
been in the dock a few hours it was dis
covered that the keel was cutting through
the oak blocks, and that there was bulge
under the forward turret Steps were at
once taken to shore up that part of the
vessel to prevent further settling. The ends
of the blocks which had been crushed had
been forced up and had indented the plat
ing of the ship about six inches in length
and about one-half Of an inch in depth on
both sides. officers who are in the secret
of the matter say that an investigation TO
fix the responsibility for this accident will
have to be called. The dock officials at
Halifax are known to have expressed re-
great feeling that there may be dispo-
sition in the United States to think them
capable of Intentionally allowing the safety
of the American battle ship to be placed in
Jeopardy when such was not the case.

is as follows:
ITO w. V. Keellen, ]. H. Stines and r. G.
Hazard, committee:
"Gentlemen-The resolution of the cor
poration of Brown University of the 1st
inst, communicated to me by you, has been
carefully considered. i take pleasure in as
surng you that the action referred to en-
tirely does away with the scruple which
led TO my resignation. AT the date, now
ever, when you laid the communication be-
fore me / had undertaken to perform in
the coming year certain work which, after
learning the judgment OF the corporation
on the subject | came to regard as incom-
patibie with the duties of the presidency.
I, therefore, felt obliged at first to adhere
to my resignation. But, being now free to
give to the university my undivided serV-
ice, I have withdrawn my resignation and
have notified the secretary Of the corpora
tion to that effect.
This move was entirely unexpected.
About week ago DR.. Anderson, secretary
of the corporation, admitted that he had
received a letter from DR. Andrews renew
ing his resignation. This was believed to
made at its meeting Sept. l, requesting DR..
Andrews to withdraw his resignation Sec
retary Anderson announced that he would
issue notice for a meeting at a time
which seemed most convenient for the pur-
pose of electing a new president or tenn
porary one This was taken to mean that
DR.. Andrews had finally decided to take
charge of another educational institution
The students appointed a delegation to
wait on the president and ask him to ad-
dress them from the steps or his residence.
DIR. Andrews thanked the students for their
interest in him, but declined to say any
thing, reserving until chapel tomorrow
morning whatever of Importance Is TO be

TWO hours. A councilman and a school
teacher, who had managed to slip through
the quarantine at the Rigolets, have been
arrested in New Orleans and shipped back

isolated and detained for the full limit Of
time. Among the places that have quaran-

take orders from the ships have been noti-
ned that they will not be allowed TO stop
at Port Eads, which remembers her ex-
perience with the fever in 1878. Lafayette,
La, has stopped the Southern Pacific from
changing its train crews at that point for
fear of the infection. The Southern Pacific
announced this morning that 1t will sell no

The city is SO tightly tied up now, and so
many bands are lifted against her that
there is no longer any coInmotion created

every town and hamlet has emphaticaly
refused to have intercourse with the city.
Drummers who are on the road are tied up
in small towns and no orders are coming
paying no bills This morning the North
eastern Railroad took off two of it's trains.
So much information has been telegraphed
of the existence of the fever here that the
rural towns no longer care to see trains
from New Orleans running through their
towns The passenger business has there
fore fallen off because stops can be made
at but few points south of Mason and
Dixons line, and the Northeastern consid-
cred it best to reduce its quota of trains.
The Southern Pacific took off two trains
to-day as it was predicted last night

Illinois Not Wen Protected.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE Ind, Sept. 14-President
knight, of the Indiana miners, speaking of
the reports of Doodle and political motives
controlling the Columbus conference, said:
"rhe stories are in the highest degree inn
probable. West Virginia favored settle
ment almost to a man. The terms proposed
were not as satisfactory to Illinois as We
could have desired, and the delegates from
that State opposed them on what they con-
sidered and ON what might appear, rational
grounds. Illinois is not as well protected
by the settlement as any of us would like,
but we are forced to choose between two
evils. We thought we could do more for
Illinois by accepting the terms of the set
tlement than by going on with the strike.
1T is possible that some of the Western
operators would like to have seen a con-
tinuance of the strike until navigation
closed on the lakes, to get the. business that
Pennsylvania and Ohio would have lost.
Western miners do not desire work that
rightly belongs to their brethren of the
Eastern States. If they should try to fur
ther plan for beating Pennsylvania and
Ohio out of business they would shortly re-
alize the folly of the procedure. During the
winter season the Eastern miners would
become so destitute as not to be able to de-
mand favorable terms in the spring, and
when their operators came to them saying
that the Western miners had used them
simply for the purpose of pulling the chest
nuts out of the fire, they would not be able
to resist the force of the contention and
would have gone to work at a reduced price.
Then the penalty of the mistake made by
them would come home on the Western
miners.
so far the miners are concerned, they
have not brought politics into the strike.
If such considerations have actuated some
of the men on the other side l do not know
it. Mr.. Thomas Young, who is interested
in mine with Mark Hanna's son, has done
more than any other one man to bring about
a settlement. Whether he did it through
fealty to the interests of Hanna and his
disavowed all thought of politics in doing
what he did. He said that his influence
would have been greater in the interest of
a settlement if he had not been considered
more or less attached to the cause of
Hanna"
