BACHELOR pOLITICIANS,
Woman's Rescue League of Boston Urge
 Their Retirement


 Boston, Sept. 1.-The recent manifes- to of Mrs. Charlotte Smith against the bachelor politician was the subject of considerable attention from the Wo- mans Rescue league of this city yester- day, when that body met As 8 result a set of resolutions was passed, setting forth that "The American bachelor pol itician shirks his duty to the human family when he fails to provide a home for some good woman before he en- gages in the profession of politics; therefore he is not to be trusted after he has entered political arena in which temptations surround him on all sides and that unfortunately, modern society has heretofore given the bach elor politician too much latitude by ig- noring his private life
 Be it resolved, That as far as prac- ticable a list of bachelor politicians who are aspirants for public office be obtain ed in the state of Massachusetts and New York, and formal protests be sent out against their election or reelection by the Woman's Rescue league, on the ground that they are ineligible to hold public office."
 The league extends its congratula- tions to ex-Mayor Edwin Upton Curtis of Boston on his approaching marriage and recommends for him two years vacation from politics in which to enjoy his honeymoon.

LAST OATS or THE srhfKE.
Expectation That Work in the Mines All
 Over the Country Will be Resumed.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 5.-Expectations are high in coal mining circles over the
 probable resumption of work in the mines throughout the country. In anticipation of a settlement at Columbus next Wednesday another
 plan has been suggested by repre- sentative by one of the largest oper- ators which will be agitated immedi-
 ately after the men return to work. It will be formulated and submitted to the joint convention of operators and miners, which it is proposed to hold next December. In order to come to an understanding on all questions at issue separate wage scales are to be formulated for each mine
 The scale Is to provide for the rate to be paid for the entire year and any special concessions that are to be made are to be agreed upon by the miners and the operators and so specified in the scale. The scale is to be an ad- junct to the uniformity agreement which is expected to be in force. The proposition will be made by the opera tors in the hope of getting all the safe guards possible against a strike. It is " Sii hioh il lildl liele are no two mines in the entire district where the condi- tions are exactly alike. The uniformity agreement covers the general points, but even with 1t in existence some of the mines would be subjected to diff culties, while others would have an ad vantage
 Philip Stambugh, cousin of Presi- dent and partner in the firm of Os- borne Saenger & Co.,, was in Pittsburg this afternoon. He said the men for merly employed in the Eclipse mine on the Wheeling division of the Baltimore and Ohio road would be asked to go to work tomorrow morning at the sixty-five cents rate.
 He was not prepared to say how many men would go to work. David Van Micken, manager of the Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Coal company's mines at Snowden and Gastonville, announced more than week ago that he would resume work in his mines to-morrow morning. Notices were served on all the men living in company houses to vacate and the ten-day limit expires in the morning. Manager Van Micken could not be seen, but it is generally supposed that no effort will be made to resume until after the Columbus convention

Rev. Thomas Dixon Says Hope of Defeat.
 ing Tammany Has Been Blasted.

New York, Sept 5-"Mr, Lows can- didacy' was the subject of the sermon preached this forenoon by the Rev. Thomas Dixon of the Peoples church at the Academy of Music here. Among other things he said:
 The normal democratic majority in Greater New York is about 10000. To win this terrible handicap must some how be overcome with clean. honest man on whom every faction could he united as they were behind Strong. There was single, bare chance we could win the campaign that would 5en- ' list the brain. the heart, the wealth and the enthusiasm of every man outside of Tammany's power.
 The hope of such union has been blasted by the stupid and unreasonable manner in which Seth Low has been nominated by the citizens union, and the headstrong haste with which he has accepted their offer"

CLEARING THE PASSES.
Miners Bound for the KIondlke Making
 Pathways Over the Mountains.

Victoria, Sept. 5.-Among the passen- gers who arrived on the Queen from Skaguay to-day was Frank I. Cramp- ton of Mount Vernon, Washington. He went up to look over the situation and took a trip over both passes. He says that the killing of horses was caused largely by novices who do not know how to load them. In many instances the pack saddles are allowed to wear great holes In the horses backs. The men who are fixing the trail will be the first to profit by It.
 This has been decided by the vigil ance committee and no man can go on the trail with packs without certif- cate from the secretary that he has done so much work on the trail. One man whom MT. Champion saw had got ten nearly all of his outfit over when the trail was closed for travel. The committee refused to let him take the remainder of his pack over. His en- treaties did no good. In desperation he went back and got Winchester rifle and two revolvers and held up the committee and went through

to That End.
 Chicago, Sept. 5.-The teachings and principles of Eugene V. Debs may be opposed by a national political organi- zation.
 The preliminary arrangements for the Illinois branch of the American Rail- way league, the new organization, were made to-day with meeting held in one of the lodge rooms of the Masonic Temple. The league has an open mem pership list. Every employe of a rail- road from president down to a track man is eligible and it is said that the organization is to be a non-partisan af- fair, which will not only benefit the working railroad man, but will be for the benefit of the railroad corporations and more than all as it was put at the meeting ito correct the rapidly growing impression that the ordinary railroad man is against the government and his employers on every question:
 Grand President R. S. Kayley of Ohio presided at the meeting, and there were at least 200 employees of railroads entering Chicago in attendance. J. w. Callahan, who was active in the Rail- way Mems Sound Money" organiza- tion, last fall, was elected president pro tenn. of the Illinois branch. The business of the meeting had progressed this far when the news of the death of Senior Conductor Hyatt of Division No. 1 of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors was received and caused an adjournment for two weeks.

BOATS STOLEN AT WooDMoNT.
ihree Pirates Captured Of Woodmont
 and Two in Bridgeport.

Of late quiet Woodmont has several
 times been exercised over thefts of boats of various sorts. A few days ago captain John Halls $150 sharpie was stolen, and since then several smaller craft have disappeared. On Saturday evening young MT. Waddingham was coming into Oyster river, near Wood mont, where he has been spending the summer At Oyster river he noticed 1lVe men in a boat and having second boat In tow. Thinking it looked good
 deal like his own, he kept a lookout when he came near his landing place. He found his boat gone, sure enough, and therefore set out after the five men.
 lie demanded that they give up the boat, but they flatly refused. He then put for Woodmont again and got Con- stable Ben Linsley and several other men aboard his yacht and started in pursuit.
 The i've men evidently did not know the waters well, for they got stranded on sand-bar. Only three were cap- tured, as two managed to get away. inc three prisoners were brought to Milford, where they now are awaiting trial. Word was at once sent to Br,d Be- port, and yesterday the police in that city gathered in two men who are be- lleVed to be the other thieves.
 It is believed the men are the same ones who stole Captain Halls boat. Word was received yesterday from the lite-saving station at Norpthort, Long Island, that a boat had been found there that answered the description of Captain Halls sharpie. Colonel Lar kin. who owns a fine yacht will take Captain Hall and a party over to Long Island to-day to bring it back. The pirates probab1v took the boat to Bridgeport and tried to dispose of it, but failing to do so, set the boat adrift
