THE REASONS GIVEN
For Settling the Great Coal Strike-aiine
Workers Officers Offer Explanations

For Settling the Great Coal Strike-1iine
Workers Officers Offer Explanations
Columbus. o., September ia cir
culaT was issued to-day by the United
Mine Workers, setting forth why the
strike Was settled.
The following reasons are given:
Tie markets were being supplied:
the suspension was not growing; min
ers could moi be induced to respond
promptly, and those who did respond
were fast approaching the point of
exhaustion and could not continue the
fight much longer. Supplies were so
limited that pressing want could not
be appeased, causing resumption of
work in many cases ar operators
terms. Organized labor was called
upon to devote time, men and money
to their own affairs and could not be
reasonably expected to continue in
definitely to fight our battles. The
suferings Of the hungry men. blame
less women and innocent children ap-
pealed to us not to continue a strug-
gle where the result would only be
disastrous. entailing greater miseries
and more hardships.
II West Virginia and aportion of
Illinois operators refuse to settle the
fight will be continued. and assess
ments will be levied on those working
to maintain the idle.

Osgood, Ind, September 16.-It Is
said here that there will be an awful
reckoning for the slaughter of the five
men in the Versailles JAIL All the VIC
tins have many relatives and friends
who have determined that somebody
must suffer for the wholesale lynch
ing. Everybody here feels that more
blood will be shed. There is a feeling
that the mob acted hastily as to Levi
and Jenkins. The only testimony
against them was Hostetters state
ment that they were involved in the
Wooley burglary.
Versailles, Ind, September 16.-The
people in Versailles are still dazed
more than ever by the horror of the
bloody work of Tuesday night. No
other topic is discussed except specU-
lation as to the probability of action
being taken to arrest and punish the
participants in the mob. All agree
that the plan was deliberately laid.
1t is said by witnesses that from the
time the two signal rockets were sent
up on the outskirts of the town until
the work of the mob was completed
and the men were going home, was not
more than fifteen minutes. 1t is also
said that the active participants in the
lynching did not exceed fifteen or
twenty, though the men who were
present as guards and helpers num-
bered about $50. 1t is generally con-
ceded the organizers were Osgood men,
though so far no one can be found
who recognized any of them.
The apprehension that further work
is intended by the organization still
continues, and the luckless man who
gets into the Versailles Jail will have
reason to dread the consequences.
This feeling may have tendency 10

Steubenville, Ohio, SeTsember 16.-
The colored population of Mcintyre,
which is one of the Oldest colored set
Elements in Ohio, are up in arms be-
cause a young white man named Ong
has been hired to teach in their school
district, which is made up entirely Of
colored pupils. They have had color
ed teachers heretofore, and "Ras"
West, the colored school director for
that district, says he engaged a white
teacher for the best interests Of the
school, as the scholars were not doing
any good under colored tutoraga. West,
who is the bell-wther in a political
sense for the settlement, is about TO
lose his grip as result of the open re-
volt against his action. At the late
meeting Of the Board Of Education for
that township the colored population
were present to protest against Ong.
but the Board concluded to indorse
Vests appointment until Ong, who is
q fire-eater, arose and said he had been
engaged to teach and he proposed to
stay. No .electio was accomplished.
Ong has taken possession Of the school
house anyway and Is teaching the

City of Mexico, September 16.-An
attack was made shortly after 10
o'clock this morning on President Diaz,
as he was proceeding from the palace
to the Alameda to distribute medals to
the survivors of the wars.
The city is in a fever OF excitement
and the stories are generally conflict
ing.
The most reliable version of the at
fair is that as the President was enter
ing on foot the Alameda or central park
of the city, a middle-aged man, armed
with a long poinard, jumped forward
from the crowd and made an attempt
to stab the President. He was at once
seized by the Presidents suite and the
police, and heavily handcuffed. Then,
by side streets, to avoid publicity, he
was taken under strong guard to the
Fourth Ward police station. The au-
thorities have so far refused to make
a statement.
The President was walking as is his
custom on Independence Day, and was
between Minister Mena, of Communica-
tons, and Gen. Berrio Zabal, Minister
of War; Gen. Mena grappled with the
would-be assassin, who was at once
disarmed and handed over to the po-
lice The excitement among the for
eign colonies is intense. AS this dis
patch is being sent, $4,000 troops are
marching past the President, who is
surrounded by his cabinet, unmoved
by the attempt, and the people are hur-
railing for Mexico and General DiaZ.
The President escaped entirely I'M
injured.
To-day is the great national holiday
Of the country, the anniversary of the
declaration of independence, aud the
streets are thronged with people. The
attack on the President was mad just
before the great military parade start
ed. The assailant is a middle-aged
man, with long dark hair and a promi-
nent nose. He looks something like
an Italian.
The attempt may be the result Of the
recent propaganda here against all an
archists. One Jose Ventre, from Spain,
has just been expelled from the country
and sailed two days ago on the Ward
line steamer for New York. Another
version is that the man was simply
presenting a petition. This is not be-
lieved.
The ceremonies of the morning were
not inteTfered with and the parade
started on time and was reviewed by the
President as planned at the national
palace. The prisoner gave the name
Of Arroyo.

The union miners at the Kelly Coal

keeping the Hungarians, imported last

strikers gathered about the bank and
blew horns and kept up such din that
the Huns refused to try to enter the
mine.
There is every prospect that the
strike at Dillonvale and Long Run will
be prolonged Indefinitely owing to the

City of Mexico, September 16-Pres-
ident Diaz opened Congress this even
ing, reading his semi-annual message
covering the period since April He
said the country was at peace with
all civilized countries and was grad
ually making more intimate ties with
them.
Titles to new mines issued during
the last half year number 719, making
the total since the law regarding prop
critics was put in force five years ago,
6,519. The expectation of minerals
rose in the past fiscal year to $74000,-
600, silver remaining about as in the
previous year, while gold was million
dollars greater. Nearly a million
acres of mineral and waste lands have
been transferred to private ownership
to settlers, sales to private individuals,
etc. The heavy rains, which have
been general all over the country,
give promise of heavy crops.
The postoffice department and the
telegraphs owned by the government
show a remarkable increase of bust
ness.
Referring to the question Of the de-
cline in silver as affecting the finances
of Mexico, the President says:
Unfortunately the present fiscal
year does not begin under as good aus
pieces as the previous one for the ex-
cessive weakness and fluctuation of sill
yer, often sudden and violent in THEN
character, have so influenced economic
situations of the country that it is de-
manding the serious attention of the
government and has caused the adop-
ton Of measures Of prudence, all ex-
penses not absolutely necessary being
postponed or reduced. The magnitude
and sudden character of the present
perturbation in silver certainly does
not correspond to the known causes
which have produced it, and
therefore there are we'll founded
reasons for expecting that tine
factors, more or less arti-
fetal, which may have had an influence
in the decline Of silver, will be of
short duration and may even soon
bring about a favorable reaction.
There is not, therefore, for the pres
ent, any serious reason for alarm.
The nation viii be able to pass
through this difficult period, confront
ing it with the same serenity which it
displayed few years ago, when the
same causes produced alarm"
This portion of his message attract
ed great attention and was favorably
received.
In conclusion, the President assured
Congress that there was every reason
for congratulation on the state of the
country which steadily grows richer.
while the government revenue is con-
tinually increasing.
