Hazelton, Pa, Sept. 20.-Unless unfore-

coal strike in this region is ended. Today

mines of the Lehigh Valley company are
tonight considering the question of return
ing IT, the morning. and will probably do
so. Nearly 5000 strikers have returned or
will do so tomorrow. and q little less than
that number are still out, with indications
in favor of their joining the workers. The
only incidents of today were small out

and Horse Sense.
Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. 20.-The feat
ure of interest in the opening session OF
the September term of the United States
court of West Virginia for the district
of West Virginia was the application OF
TIVE counsel of the Monongahela Coal com
pany to make the injunction against Il.
V. Debs and others perpetual. AS there
was no appearance of any of the defend
ants, the injunction was made perpetual.
In the course of his remarks in making
this decision, Judge Jackson said that If
a like case were presented to him he
would make the same kind OF order he
had made at Parkersburg,. where the TEN
porary injunction was issued recently.
Continuing, he said:
"There have been some public strict
ures that know are due to the fact that
the order made in these cases was not
understood. This decision is founded on
good law, good morals and justice. Two
hundred years ago courts OF equity IN
England issued restraining orders to pro-
tect the citizen in his right of property:
There is no reason why the rights OF
property owners should not be protected
by the courts. These. owners invested
large sums of money in their plant at
Monsgahela, and the bill for an injunc-
tiop alleged the defendants were about to
do things that would lessen the value of
the property and possibly destroy it. The
law is that where an injury is threatened
TO which the law affords no adequate
remedy, then the court of equity inter
feres to prevent the injury and this is
such a case. The injunction abridges ne
right of the miners, does not interfere
with the right Of free speech

Washington, Sept. 20.-The state de-

which were set free recently in London.
The new matter is comprised IN two LEI
tiers, July 90 and 20 last. from Lord Sal

In Lord Salisbury's note is the definition
from the British standpoint OF the ex-
net scope of the conference i'll this Ian

II have to state that her majesty's gov
eminent is willing to agree to meeting
of experts nominated by Great Britain
and Canada and by the United States
in October next when the further inyes-
LEGATIONS to be made on the islands dur
ing the present season will have been
completed. ...
'The object of the meeting would be
to arrive, il possible. at the habits OF
the seal frequenting the Pribylof islands
at the present time as compared with the
several seasons previous and subsequent
to the Paris award. ...... .-...
at seems to her majesty's government
that Washington would be the most suit
able place for such meeting.
Ambassador Hay in his reply calls at
tention to one important point that may
have been overlooked by the British SIDE
or else was ignored purposely, namely,
that the conference is to be international
in one sense and is not to be confined en-,
tirely to representatives of the United
States and Great Britain. On tins point
his letter, which closes the correspondence
up to this time, says:
'"It may not be out Of place for me to
