FORTUNATE FOR MINERS.
The Agreement with Operators Was
Made None Too Early.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 4-Secretary
Pearce. of the United Mine Workers, speak
ing to-day of the proposed strike settle
ment. stated that the agreement had been
reached at most opportune time for the
miners. They had just reached the point
of the highest success in the strike, and
if another week or ten days had passed
they would not have been in the condition
to demand and secure even a settlement
at the 64-cent rate, to say nothing of
turning to work at 65 cents. The strike
had reached its height, and was weakening
each day, and no one was better aware of
this fact than the miners officials. In Illi-
nois and West Virginia quite a large num-
ber of miners have resumed work, and the
probability is that before another week
had passed, if a settlement had not been
reached great many more would have fol-
lowed their example The miners officials
knew this perhaps better than the oper
ators, and it is considered fortunate for the
miners that they have secured even an
advance of IL cents per ton, and the Of
| ficialS should be congratulated by the men,
| berS of the organization on having secured
| so material an advance in wages. Within
another week Secretary Pearce stated that
| a settlement could not have been made at a
| rate of 65 cents.
| AS a matter of fact, while the national
| officials have given out the information
| that they have no doubt that the miners
will accept the proposition when they meet
| in this city next week, there exists con-
siderable apprehension as to what action
| the miners may take regarding the matter.
| The conservative element will no doubt
ratify the action of the officials in agree
| ing to the settlement but the radical ele-
| ment of the organization may prove rather
| nard to handle when it comes TO vote on
| the proposition. The call for the conven-
| ton issued by the national executive
committee suggests that the delegates come
| to the convention unhampered by instruc-
| tions or resolutions and free to act for the
| best interests of the miners. On this point
! will depend largely the result of the con-
vention. If a majority of the delegates
ton may be in doubt, but otherwise the
action of the national board will doubtless
be sanctioned with little objection. A large
number of Ohio miners who had been at
tending the State fair called at headquar-
ters here to-day to express their satisfac-
ton with the prOpOSed settlement.

in an Honorable Manner.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 4.-District Presi-
dent Patrick Dolan, of the Mine Workers,
said tonight: Il have been repeatedly
asked since returning from the conference
with the operators at Columbus to give my
views on the situation. AS far as the public
is concerned I can assure them that every
effort has been made to settle the present
basis consistent with the claims of both
sides. 1t must be understood that any set
tlement now accomplished would only be
temporary, yet at the same time be the
foundation for a lasting adjustment to be
made at joint conference between miners
and operators to be held next December.
AT the December conference it is intended
to fix the rate of wages for the entire year
succeeding. This adds Importance to the
national convention to be held next
Wednesday. Within the last twelve hours
l have received word from miners in all
to indicate that there is a strong senti-
ment in favor of holding out for
the 69-cent rate to the bitter
end For the present l would ask all to
may have until they arrive at Columbus
and hear the question discussed in all its
complicated features and details. do not
wish to be placed in a position of having
yielded one point as far as the miners are
concerned. When we get together and
talk the matter over think and hope that
there is enough conservatism among the
miners of the Pittsburg district to warrant
the public in believing that the miners
want to be fair and ask only what is right
and Just. | sincerely trust that caution,
reason and good judgment will prevail at
the convention and much is expected from
the miners of the Pittsburg district. Pub

mittee of slvertes invited the miners to at
tend in q body. The strikers promptly ta-
bled the proposition and assured the COM
mittee that as a body they would take no
part In the demonstration. A prominent
member OF the official committee said this
morning that it would be disastrous to the
cause of the miners if they would allow
themselves to be made tools by any po-
litical party. and the men who have been
trying to induce the miners to make po-
htical capital of their misfortunes have re-
ceived a black eye. Dolan is also criticised
for lending his aid TO the project. A promi-
nent miner in discussing the situation to-
day said he thought Dolan had his hands
full attending to strike matters and did
not have the time to take part in political
meetings, and he was of the opinion that
Dolan would not be present. 1t has been
limited from the beginning of the strike
that political shysters were stealthily work

ers are alert and not easily led astray

DANVILLE, ILL.,, Sept 4.--Yesterday the
Pawnee Coal Company served notice on
Sheriff Thompson to protect their property
from striking miners. For the past few
days the Pawnee mines have had about a
dozen miners at work. About the same
number has been working al the Kell!ville,
the Westville and the Brookside Mines
With thirty deputies, Sheriff Thopmson
guarded the Pawnee mine all last night. AT
the first streak of dawn the striking miners
began to gather until there were nearly
seven hundred at the mines. Most of them
were armed with Winchester rifles. They
were determined that no 'seabs'' should
work. Sheriff Thompson notified them not
to trespass on the company's land and sug-
gested compromise. His advice was fol-
lowed and committee of ten miners wait
ed on the operators. The mine owners were
assured that if they tried to run the mines
serious trouble would ensue. The managers
finally agreed not to attempt to work any
more miners until nationdf agreement was
effected or the strike was declared off.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 4.-The news
papers are full of letters from the province
of Tula, Moscow, Orel and Kursk, telling
of the widespread distress caused by the
drought. The ground is so dry that it is
impossible to sow winter wheat the grass
and trees are withering and the stock is
feeding entirely dry fodder which is
scarce. There have been numerous peat
bog fires in the province of Kursk and the
peasants are begging the government to
distribute seed and enable them to re-
SOW their fields. Stock is offered for sale
at almost any prices, as the peasants are
unable TO feed their cattle. Other provinces
are threatened with similar distress.

M'KINLEY AT OLD HOME
PRESIDENT AND WIFE WARMLY
GREETED BY CANTONIANS.
Brief Speech in Response to a Sere-

astic Reception at Akron.

CANTON, o., Sept. 4.-President and Mrs.
Mckinley will remain in Canton until Mon
day. When the Baltimore & Ohio train
steamed into Canton station at $40 this
evening they expected to take a carriage
and go quietly to the home of the Presi-
dents mother, but the station grounds and
the streets in every direction were crowded
with surging mass of humanity. The old
Mckinley reception committee of the his
toric campaign days greeted the party
part of the committee having met the pres
idential train at Akron. Men, women and
children made a rush for the Mckinley
car and 1t was with great difficulty the Of
fcers could keep a line open to allow the
party and their escort to reach the car
riages. Cannon doomed and the street was
a continuous mass of cheering No formal
demonstration had been expected or
planned. Later in the evening, however, the
earlier crowd was surpassed when the re-
ception committee, headed by the Grand
Army Band which was at the st. Louis
convention. and the recent Buffalo Grand
Army encampment rendered President and
Mrs. Mckinley a Serenade. After Home,
Sweet Home" had been rendered, President
Mckinley, in response to thousands of calls,
appeared on the stoop. BY the electric
hgnts and out under the foliage of the
trees and surrounding dooryards, he looked
into the faces of solid acres of humanity,
largely employees of Canton factories, with
their wives and children. 1t was some mo-
ments before the applause had subsided
that he could be heard when he said
My FelloW-citizens-I do not know what
l can say to this great concourse of my
fellow-townsmen except that l glad
to be with you once more. (Cheers) 1 am
glad to look into these familiar faces and
to hear the music of this great band that
is a credit and delight not only to the
city of Canton, but to all the cities and
communities that it visits. 1t gave me pe-
culiar pleasure last week in the city of
Buffalo to hear this band and to hear words
of commendation from all quarters for it's
splendid music. 1 am glad, my fellow-citi-
zens, to be at home again, l glad for
sure that it is reciprocated fully from the
bottom of my heart and l bid you good
night" Continued applause)
