to. 1t is asserted that the State will be
able to show that he was out of the CITY
the day he swore he was the one on
which Mrs. Luetgert called at his hotel
and asked for lodging.

QUIET PREVAILED

Yesterday.'.The Fourth Regiment
to Leave Tuesday--No Verdict as
Yet from the Coroners Jury.

Hazleton, Pa, September 26-Noth-
ing new developed to-day in the strike
region and the day passed quietly.
All the collieries will resume to-mor-
row, some for the full week, others
for part of the week. Gen. Goblin and
his staff rode to Audenreid this after
noon, and this evening the Ninth reg
iment gave dress parade. 1t is an
nounced at headquarters that the
Fourth regiment will be withdrawn
on Tuesday. The Fourth is stationed
at Drifton. A conference will be held
tomorrow to decide on the withdrawal
of other troops. The failure of the
coroners jury to arrive at verdict is
varlously commented upon. Another
meeting of the jury is to be held to-
morrow morning, when it is expected
a verdict will be rendered.
A meeting of miners was held at
Freeland to-day, at which several
prominent labor leaders, including ex-
General Organizer Fahey, of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, were present. The
meeting was held behind closed doors
and nothing was given out. 1t is
known, however, that the miners are
being more thoroughly organized SO
that in the event of another strike
they will have a leader and organiza-
ton.
A gang of roughs broke into Squire
RobinsOn's Office at Audenreid and de-
molished considerable furniture. Later
the residence of Mine Superintendent
Conner Jones was stoned. Robinson
refused to issue a warrant for Fore
man Jones' arrest several weeks ago,
and this is supposed to be the cause
of the raid made on his Office.

csps the Last Five Miles Strikes

Seattle, Wash, September 26.-The
first authentic news concerning Wash
ington's new Ell Dorado, near Mount
Baker, and how to get there, is brought
to Seattle by E. A. Saportas, president
of the information and registry, who
with Frank Crydi and Gus Wagner, ex-
perienced miners of Dawson City, went
to the scene of the latest excitement
last Saturday. According to Mr.. Sa-
portas, the route is passable and not
very difficult until within five miles Of
the find. The last five miles, however,
presented obstacles that would forever
discourage any one not an experienced
prospector and mountaineer. There is
in the country and its surrounding
heighths enough gold, says Mr.. Sapor-
tas, TO keep prospectors for the next
ten years. In the sample of ore that
was brought by one, Mr. Bogardus, the
assayer, by cursory inspection, de-
clared that free gold existed in exceed
ingly good quantities.

THE AUSTRIAN DU Ell
Has Created the Widest Excitement
at Vienna-.-The Details of the En-
counter, and It's Causes.

London, September 27.-The Vienna
correspondent of the Daily Mail says
this morning.
The duel between Count Badeni,
the Austrian Premier, and DR.. Wolff,
the German Nationalist leader, has
caused the widest sensation. 1t arose
out OF the riotous scenes at the open
ing OF the Reichsrath, when Count
Badeni, with arms crossed, and head on
his breast. listened unmoyed by the
clamor and gesticulations of the Ger
man party.
His attitude was most irritating.
The whole left formed a threatening
ground around him, conspicuous among
them being the great, lean face OF
Wolff as he pressed forward and
thrust his fist into the face OF Count
Badeni, saying: IF this Is your poll
cy, it is miserable chicanery.
Some declare that Wolff called him
a Polish pig. He was pulled back by
his colleagues, but continued uttering
menances.
Early on Friday morning Count
Bedina sent his seconds to DR.. Wolff.
who accepted the challenge. The Pre-
mier sent a telegram to the Emperor.
asking permission to fight the duel. and
al the same time rendering his resig-
nation. In reply he received not only
permission to fight, but also the I'M
perial approval.
At the first discharge the Premiere
ball struck the ground fifteen PAGES
from his antagonist The latter's ball
struck Count Bedina in the right arm.
He staggered back to his chair and was
then taken home, where the bullet was
extracted.
There are no symptoms of fever
and Count Badeni is conducting affairs
as usual It is thought that, as the
Premier has set the example. with the
Emperor's approval, there will be
serious epidemic Of duelling The Ar
better Zeitung points out that Count
Padeni is liable to imprisonment for
from one to five years"

action by the authorities against any
member of the mob is likely.
During the entire time of the lynching,
not less than two hundred women were
on the hill and hillside overlooking the
public square, and when his dangling
form went up, cheers from them rent the
air. In fact, the women gave double re-
assurance to the ones engaged that the
proper punishment was being meted out.
All through the day Bushrod gave evil
dence of intense anguish. He was told,
and he fully realized that his time was
close at hand and he gave some evil
dence of sorrow. In the march to the
place of lynching it was almost impos-
sible to prevent his being killed by in
furiated men. Twice was Bushrod knock
ed down, and it is believed by some that
he was unconscious when strung up.

Madrid, September 26.-The arrival
of United States Minister Woodford
from San Sebastian has made SEN
sation. The programme of the United
States has been ascertained.
This does not contemplate declar-
alton of war if Spain rejects media
ton, but according to report, an ''os-
tentatious proclamation to the world
of disapproval of the Cuban regime by
suspending diplomatic relations with
Spain and Withdrawing the United
States Minister"
General Woodford has declined to be
interviewed on the subject further than
to say that his conference with the
Duke of Tetuan, the Foreign Minister,
was of the most satisfactory character.
The unexpected bitterness of the press
and of public opinion has painfully
impressed him, but he hopes this will
soon be allayed, as he believes his
mission favorable to Spanish interests,
and cannot comprehend that Spain
could reject mediation designed to end
an impoverishing war; He has not
named a time at which the war must
be terminated, but he hopes, as the re-
suit of his tenders, that it will be end
ed quickly. He believes the war is in
fiicting incalculable loss upon the
United States and that it is impossible
to prevent the organization of filibus-
tering expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken to pro-
tect Minister Woodford on his journey
from San Sebastian to this city, but the
trip was quite uneventful. A party Of
gendarmes, commanded by a sub-lieu-
tenant, guarded the southern express
on which he was passenger.
Secret police were posted at the sta
ton and the project of police was in
waiting to escort him to his hotel. The
drive through the streets was marked
by no special incident, though several
people saluted him, receiving bow in
return.
Some comment has been caused by
the fact that Minister Woodfords fam
lily has not accompanied him, but re-
manned behind at the French frontier.
Minister WoOdford explains that his
party is a large one, requiring a COM
modious home, and prefers spending a
pleasant October at Biarritz until
suitable residence can be secured here.
The legation cannot be used as a resi-
dence. General Woodford has already
engaged a box at the Royal Opera
House and has purchased horses.
General Woodford has taken apart
ments at the Hotel Rome. but receives
official visits at the legation, where
he passed the entire morning.
TAKE NO STOCK IN THE STORY.
London, September PA dispatch
to the Standard from Madrid says:
"The rumor of Austrian mediation
between Spain and the United States
in the event of hostilities has created
surprise mingled with much incred-
ulity. Spaniards fail to see what Aus
tria could do unless seconded by naval
powers or at least by the combined
pacific action of several governments"

Weyler has cabled a request to the
