ALL coLLIERIEs TO RESUME.
Little but Petty Lawlessness Left of
the Strike in the Vicinity of
HazletOn.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 26.-All the collieries
will resume tomorrow, some for the full
week. others for part of the week. General
Goblin and his staff rode to Audenreid this
afternoon and this evening the Ninth regi-
ment gave dress parade. 1t is announced
at headquarters that the Fourth regiment
is to be Withdrawn on Tuesday. The Fourth
is stationed at Drifton. A conference will
be held tomorrow to decide on the with
drawal of other troops. The failure of the
coroner's jury to arrive at a verdict is
variously commented upon. Another meet
ing of the jury is to be held tomorrow
evening, when it is expected verdict will
be rendered.
A meeting of miners was held at Freeland
to-day, at which several prominent labor
leaders. including General Organizer Flaney,
of the United 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 organization.
A gang of roughs broke into Squire Rob-
inson's Office at Audenreid and demolished
considerable furniture. Later the residence
of Mine Superintendent Conner Jones was
stoned. Robinson refused to issue war
rant for Foreman Jones arrest several
weeks ago, and this is supposed to be the
cause of the raid made on his Office.

TO-DAY'S BATTLE ROYAL.
Attendance ut the Last BostOn-Balti-
more Game VIII Be Very
Large.

Baltimore, Sept. 26.-After two days of
almost breathless excitement and suspense
have been passed safely the third and most
momentous day of the baseball year is
awaited by thousands of local fans with
prayers for favorable weather first and
success for the home team L ext in to-mor-
rows game between Baltimores and Bos-
tons-the final one of the last series be-
tween these two leading teams. AS for
the weather every indication points to
realization of their fondest hopes, and it
is probable that with good conditions Sat-
urday's large attendance will be equaled
possibly eXceeded-by those who will
journey to Union park to witness to-mor-
rows battle royal"
siasm of the 150 Boston rooters is making
the Eutaw house the scene of continuous
activity and excitement. They are a con-
fident lot of rooters and are already pre-
pairing for a great demonstration over
their prospective victory. The Boston team
themselves, If they are as confident as
their supporters about winning, do not dis
play 1t SO conspicuously. They say they will
make the fight of their lives.
The team is in fine form and even Col
Inns has gotten his black eye into shane
Fred Lake is feeling little under th,
weather, but as Bergen will do the CATCH
ing, he Is not worrying over 1t. Nichols
Is sure to pitch for Boston, but who Man
ager Hanlon will put in is not quite clear.
Corbett is anxious to have another chance
to win, but it is not probable that he will
pitch. Nops or Hoffer are the probabilities.
Manager Seiee has practically signed Mills,

PEARY TALKS OF HIS TRIP.
Meteorite to De UnIoaded at Brook
lyn-ExpIorer to Lecture
This Winter.

Boston, Sept. 28-The steam whaling bark
Hope, Captain John Bartlett. which has
just returned from the Arctic, arrived here
at $50 o'clock this morning from Sydney
c. B.
In conversation with representative OF
the Associated Press to-day, Lieutenant
Peary said:
The Hope left Sydney at II o'clock
wednesday. and fortunately missed the
hurricane which has been raging the past
week. The 1O0-ton meteorite in the hold
of the Hope fell from the skies hundreds
of years ago and has been the source OF
iron supplies of the EsquimauX. discoV-
cred it in May, 1894, and since that time
have been trying to secure it and bring IT
to America. The Esquimaux call 1t the
saviksoah.' We have on board six Esqui-
mauX-three men, one woman, a poy anu
girl. The Oldest of these Is Nook-Taka'
40 years old, the son of the old chief,
Kooloatoonah, who plotted the murder OF
DIR. Hayes and some of his companions.
With him is his wife, Ah Tuns An Max
Soah, As years old, and their daughter, An
Wee Ah, II years old. The others are Je
sub, 50 years old, with his 9-year-old boy,
Nee Nj, and a young man, Wee Shak UP
Si. q years old. They will remain with me
here this winter to arrange the ethnologi-
cal specimens and will return to the North
next summer with me. These people be-
long to the tribe from which shall select
my colony next year.
In speaking of the last expedition, Lieu
tenant Peary said
Il consider the chief things ACCOMPLISHED
were the arrangements with the ESqul-
mauX for my next years journey: FROM
this time out they will be securing furs ana
other skins for clothing and have all in
readiness for me next year, so that WITHIN
twenty-four hours after my arrlVai thefe,
/ shall be ready to embrace the hrst op-
portunity. to push on towards the point !
wish to reach. Then the second event of
Importance is the bringing of the meteorite
to this country. The statement appearing
in the papers that we had discovered some
gruesome things about the hut of the Gree
ly expedition is all nonsense. We found
no graveyard belongings. We found con-
dtionS such that We could reach the place
where the Greely expedition had made
their camp, and although it was August
%, we found things inside the hut covered
several feet with snow. Our party began
to dig around and picked up several but
tons and piece of wood marked Nor
man. the name of one of the Greely par
ty-and several other things. Those are all
the .gruesome finds we made.
THE Hope will remain in Boston until
Tuesday, when we will make for the Brook
lyn navy. yard, where 1 have permission
from the authorities to use the 100 ton
crane to hoist the meteorite from the hold
of the Hope"
Lieutenant Peary will devote much OF
his time this fall and winter to lecturing.

CONFLICT is FEARED.
Cherokee Nation Triple Tragedy Is
Likely to Lead to Further
BlOOdshed.

Sloan Springs, Ark. Sept. 26-several
men direct from Saline district court house
in the Cherokee nation, the scene of Mon
day nights triple tragedy, report a grave
state of affairs. 1t is feared that further
trouble will result on account of the bad
feeling engendered among the different
factions.
The sherirs from Flint and Goingstake
districts and several United States mar
shals are on the ground endeavoring to
make arrests, and If possible prevent fur
ther bloodshed.
There is a bitter enmity of long standing
between the white adopted citizens and the
fullblood Indians.s and extra precautions
have been taken to guard against an open
rupture and loss of life on both sides.
Some of the white citizens who have been
notified to leave town have done so, but
the men are as RULE men of nerve. who
say they will remain and fight it out If
necessary. to protect their lives and those
of their families.
A large amount of ammunition has been
sold here to fullbloods, who went in the
direction of Saline court house. They
made no threats. however, and nobody
knows their intentions. They were closely
followed by United States marshals, armed
with rifles and revolvers.
A report just reached here of another
killing last night, but there is no definite
news concerning it. Full particulars of
Monday nights tragedy show it to have
been bloody affair.

A GREAT GOLD STRIKE.
Authentic News of WashinStOn's Ell
dOrndO-Qunrtz Runs $4,000
to the Ton.

Seattle. WASH, Sept. 26-The first au-
thentic news concerning Washington's new
Eldorado, near Mount Baker, and how to
get there, with all intermediate details, is
brought to Seattle by z. w. Sapertas who,
with Frank Cryde and Gus Wagner. ex-
perienced miners of Dawson City, the for
mer having been in the Klondike five years,
left for the scene of the latest excitement
last Saturday morning. According to Mr..
Sapertas, the route is passable and not
very difficult until the investigator is with
in five miles of the promised land, but the
last five miles present obstacles that would
forever discourage anyone not an expe-
rienced prospector and nnountaineer.
There is in Mount Baker and its sur
rounding heights enough gold, says Mr..
Sapertas, to keep prospectors busy for the
next ten years.
All the stories of the fabulous discoveries
are corroborated.i In samples of ore that
were brought back by the informant. Mr..
Bogardus, the assayer, by a cursory in
spection, declared that free gold existed
in exceedingly good quantities.
'I met many men who came from Mount

ated the stories that have been told con-
cerning the great strike of 800 to the ton,

NEW REPORT AS TO PRESIDENT
MKINLEY's INTENTIONS.
WAR NOT TO BE DECLARED
INSTEAD, DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
ARE TO be SEVERED.
This Is to BE Our Declaration to the
World of DisapprOynl of the
Regime in CubH-Minfster
WoOdfOrd Closely
Guarded.

Madrid. Sept. 26.-The arrival of United
States Minister Woodford from San Sc
bastian has made sensation. The pro-
gramme Of the United States has been
ascertained. This does not contemplate a
declaration of war If Spain rejects media
tion, but, according to report, an "ostenta-
tious proclamation to the world of dis
approval of the Cuban regime by suspend
ing diplomatic relations with Spain and
withdrawing the United States minister"
General Wuodford has declined to be in
terviewed 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 unex-
pected bitterness of the press and of public
opinion has painfully impressed him, but
he hopes this will soon be allayeds as he
believes his mission favorable to Spanish in
terests, 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 result of his tenders. that it will be
cIutu ne DeiiSScS inc Wdl 10
fiicting incalculable loss upon the United
States, and that it is impossible to prevent
the organization of filibustering expedi-
tions.
|, Unusual measures were taken to protect
Minister Woodford on his journey from
San Sebastian to this city. but the trip was
quite uneventful A party of gen d'armes,
, commanded by sub-lieutenant, guarded
the Southern express on which he was Il
passenger. Secret police were posted at
the station. and the prefect 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 Woodford's family has
not accompanied him, but remains behind
the French frontier. Minister Woodford
explains that his party is a large one, re-
quiring a commodious home, and prefers
spending a pleasant October at Biarritz
until suitable residence can be secured
here. The legation cannot be used as a
residence. General Woodford has already
engaged box at the Royal opera house
and has purchased horses.
London, Sept. ga dispatch to the
Standard from Madrid says:
'The rumor Of Austrian mediation be-
tween Spain and the United States in the
event of hostilitfes has created surprise
mingled with much fncreduiity. The Span
iards fail to see what Austria could do un-
by the combined pacific action of several
governments"

Against Windy City Live

stock Exchange.
Washington, Sept. 2.-For the present az
least there will be no prosecution of the
Chicago Live Stock exchange. Attorney
General McKenna is out of the city, but
Acting Attorney General Boyd said to-day
that nc proceedings would be commenced
against the Chicago or any other exchange,
except those in Kansas City and South
Omaha.
II both these cases the proceedings were
instituted upon complaints of cattlemel
and drovers that freedom of trade was be-
ing withheld. The complaints were made
by reputable men, and much evidence was
offered to prove the allegations. In such L
case the department Of justice had no al
tentative except to turn the matter over
to the district attorney with instructions
to bring suit If the facts warranted such
proceedings. just as would have been done
had any other violation of law been called
to the attention of the department. There
was no political or other similar motive Ill
the proceedings. One Of these suits Was
ordered by Attorney General Harmon and
the other by the present administration.
AS to the Chicago Live Stock exchange.
no complaints have been received and
therefore no proceedings have been or
of Justice they will be turned over to the
district attorney at Chicago for such ac-
tion as he may decide upon.
The department of justice knows moth
ing as to the truth of the claims made
that the Chicago exchange violates the
law just as the Kansas City and South
Omaha exchanges violated il, nor as TO
the truth of the statements made by Off
GERS of the Chicago exchange that under
its plan of operations there is no restriction
of trade, because every member Is left
free to buy as he pleases. The question
has not yet been raised here and nothing
is known of it.
Concerning the reports that the South

to defy the courts and the government
and go ahead with the business as usual

DISAPPOINTING RYE CROP.
Estimates md Stocks Are


New York, Sept. ga disappointing rye
crop is indicated by final returns to the
American Agriculturist. Instead of some
Is, ,0OO, 600 bushels, expected from some ear
lier indications, the crop of the United
States now figures out about 25, 600 900 BUSH
els, 100000 more than last year, and 2OOO,-
600 bushels less than in 1895 and 1894. The
increase is mainly in Pennsylvania, the
Western crop being quite disappointing.
The latest European CROP adVices are con,
especially in Russia. Germany's rye crop
seems to be somewhat larger than earlier
reports indicated, but reduced estimates
from France and other countries barely off,
set this The stocks of rye at home and
abroad are lower than for years, and ex-
port demand for American rye continues
very active. Except during the fall of 1895
and 1896, rye has not been so low as at
present since before 1890

cAPUcHlN MONKS COMING.
They VIII Establish Theological
School in Washineton-Land
Already Bought.

Washington. Sept 26.-The national capt.
tai is fast becoming great Roman Catholic
educational center.
The Capuchin branch Of the Franciscan
Order, a community little known in this
country, although one of the oldest and
most powerful in the Roman Catholic
church, has purchased forty-four acres Of
land near the Catholic university with a
view of establishing an affiliated theological
college. The purchase is known as the Nc
Ceney place, and joins the university
grounds on the east.
The Capuchins arrived in this country
September IS. They are Fathers Marianus
Fiefe and John NJ. Finnegan. They came to
Washington last week and obtained cor
dial letter of introduction from the apostolic
delegate. After visiting the Catholic uni
versity they went to New York city, where
they will temporarily reside.
The order is missionary one and 1t is
supposed the novitiate near the university
will be to educate young missionaries in the
higher branches of philosophy and theology.
They will conduct retreats and general mis-
sions in the parish churches.
Several German communities of the Ca
puchins have been established here, but this
is the first English foundation. The plans
for their monastery are now being drawn In
Rome.
