DUBOIS, Pa, Aug. 29.-General Manager
Robinson to-day issued a circular to the
Rochester and London striking miners, In
which he grants an advance to forty cents
pet net ton and gives the company's side
of the controversy On Tuesday, after the
committee notified Mr.. Robinson that the
miners here had decided to strike, notwith-
standing his request for them to work UNI
It'll Saturday, when he would reply to their
demand for an advance, he told them he
would have to further communicate with
Dubois. In his circular to-day he says he
deems it his duty to send them a cOmmun-
dcat1on, as they have beeu miSled and mis-
Informed. After explaining the position of
the company and it's efforts to obtain con-
tracts. Mr.. Robinson says: The effect of
the lost tonnage you will feel long after
these agtat0rs with incorrect and careless
statements of facts have disappeared"
The circular also contains the statement
that the Pittsburg miners are working un-
The 40-cent rate here is in the same pro-
portion the 69-cent in the Pittsburg
gion. The granting of the advance asked
should logically result in immediate re-
sumption. Nothing definite can be stated
until the miners have received the commun-
ication and acted on it, Walston, Adrian
and Helvetia mines worked yesterday, while
six hundred striking miners from Reynolds
vile and Eleanora camped the fair
grounds at PunXsutawney Meetings were
held at each of these places this afternoon
and addressed by agitators vote taken

MORE UNSETTLED.
Strike Spreading in the Pennsylvania
Anthracite Region.

HAZELTON, Pa, Aug. 29-The strike
situation here is more unsettled to-
night than it has been for some
days and rumors of a general shut
down was current. These have excited
no little apprehension among the people
who were just beginning to feel the effects
OF the improved condition of the anthracite
coal trade and the activity at the mines
due to the increased demand created by the
depleted stock of bituminous. The foreign
ers control mining matters here and this
fact is coming home to the operators with
greater force now that when they imported
them for hard coal production. The Mines
vile collieries alone have furnished steady
work for miners during the past few years
and the native workers who found employ
men there considered themselves very for
tunate. They naturally chafe under the
dictation of the foreigners now who prevent
them from working. No attempt will be
made by the operators to start Van
Wickle's collieries tomorrow. Should the
Englsh-speaking miners attempt to do so
independently, the foreigners openly say,
violence will follow. Meetings were held in
different places to-day and the decision was
strike"
The Lehigh and Wlkesbarre Companys
men, who went back to work last Monday,
declare that another strike will be ordered
If the company do not give positive evil
dence by Tuesday of keeping faith with
them on the wage and investigation basis.
