NINE STRIKE SETTLED.
-Four Thousand Pennsylvania Pitmen
Have Been PIacated.

-Four Thousand Pennsylvania Pftmen
Have Been PIacated.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, Dec. 10.-The big
miners strike at Nanticoke is ended at last.
At a meeting CT the strikers this afternoon
they resolved to waive the demands of the
pump runners and accept the Susquehanna
Coal Company's terms. At a conference held
week ago between the officials of the
company and committee of the strikers, a
satisfactory wage scale was arranged. but
no agreement could be reached on the ques-
ton Of reinstating the old pump runners.
The strikers wanted the pump runners put
back in their old places, but the company
refused.
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers, then threatened to call out the
miners employed by the Susquehanna Com
rany at Shamokin and Mt. Carmel. but ow-
ing to the interference of the clergy in both
those places there Is strong probability
that the order for a sympathetic strike
would not be obeyed by the men. This had
a disheartening effect on the strikers at
Nanticoke, and the leaders thought it best
to accept the terms offered by the company.
1t is expected that the four thousand
strikers will be back at work on Tuesday.

Pennsylvania.

BRADFORD. Pa. Dec. 10.-The nitro
glycerine magazine of the Pennsylvania
Torpedo Company. located in Bolivar Hol-
low, one and a half miles from the city,

in the earth fifteen feet deep by thirty feet
in circumference. Trees were torn into
splinters at the scene of the explosion. and
the brick of which the magazine walls
were constructed were reduced to reddish
powder. which covered the snow over a
wide area. Much damage was done to this
city and vicinity by the breaking OF glass,
overturning of chimneys. etc. II is not be-
lieved anyone was killed. An oil stove,
fed automatically. is believed to have

CURSE OF WOMAN LABOR.
1t Is Set FOrNz i'm ExtensO by the Rev.
DR.. s. q. Smith.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 1o.-Rev. DR.. S.
G. Smith, pastor of the Peoples Church in
this city, whose recent statements in re-
gard TO women wage earners and their in
reference with men workers have at
tracted wide attention and criticism, to-
night replied to his critics in a sermon.
Dr. Smith said in part:
1.-The subject at first arouses mirth, but
when it is better understood tears will take
the place Of laughter. The problem is red
with the lifeblood OF nations. War is a
curse and evil. But war is sometimes
better than cowardice or dishonor There
is need for woman's work and good I'm 1t,
but as society is at present organized the
evil far outweighs the good. 1t was I'm
savage times that woman was the slave
and man her master in menial tasks. We
are fast the road to new savagery
The problem began when the discovery
OF machinery and the factory system took
the place Of the man and the tool. Greedy

GATACRE's CRUSHING DEFEAT.
Lost Hundreds of Men in Killed,
wounded and Missing.

MOLTENO, CAPE COLONY, Dec. 10
General Gatacre left Putter's Kraal by
train for Molteno. and then proceeded by
forced march twelve miles toward Storm
berg. He had 1000 men. including the
Northumberland Fusiliers. the Royal Irish
Rifles and two batteries Of field artillery.
The British were unmolested by the Beers
until the Boer position was reached, when
hot fight was unexpectedly opened upon
the advancing column.
The engagement began at AIS a. m. At I
a. m. after a sharp artillery duel, the Brit
ish retired. They are now marching toward
Molteno. General Gatacre found the enc
BILE for the British infantry to get at the
Beers.
$50 p. m.-General Gatacre's movement
may be termed a reconnaissance in force
Its object was to ascertain the strength of
the Beers. who were strongly intrenched
along the Stormberg range He left Put
ter's kraal shortly after noon yesterday
with fighting force slightly over 1000 men.
Leaving Molteno at 0 o'clock last evening"
he made memorable night march over the
rocks and veldt. There was no sound ex-
cept a steady tramp, and there were no
ing gone down about 1l:3O. The column ar
rived safely within couple of miles of it's
destination the only incidents of the march
being an occasional call of halt under the
belief that the Beers were near. Suddenly
a terrific fire opened simultaneously on the
British front and right flank. The Royal
Irish Rifles, which formed the right, found
shelter behind a neighboring kopje, and
! were speedily Joined by the remainder of
| the column. 1t was soon found. however.
that this position was also covered by Boer
guns. The troops, therefore, sought a safer
position a short distance away, the bat
| teries In the menatime engaging the Beers
| and covering the troops in their with
| drawal.
The action now became general at long
| range, and a detachment of mounted in
| fantry moved northward with a view of
turning Gatling on the enemy's right
| flank. Suddenly strong commando was
seen moving from the north, and the Royal
| Irish Rifles and the Northumberland Regi-
| discovered, however, that the Beers had
| machine guns well placed, and the British
were compelled to face a terrible fire.
Finding it impossible to hold the position in
face of the enemy, apparently superior in
position, numbers and artillery, the British
| retired on Molento. The Beers followed up
the retirement closely, bringing two big
| guns to bear on the retiring troops.

DELEGATES GATHERING
All Ready to Open the Federation Of
Labor Convention.

DETROIT. Dec. 1O.-Nearly all the $50
delegates to the American Federation of
Labor convention tonight presented their
credentials at headquarters. Many unof-
fetal visitors have arrived, among them
representatives of the Bartenders' Union
and others who desire to obtain full MEM
bership. The bartenders have established
headquarters. According to the announce
ment of the local committee on arrange
ments. the convention was to have been
formally welcomed by Governor Pingree
and Mayor Maybury, well as by Mich
igan members of the convention, but 1t
was considered improbable, tonight, that
any outsider will address the convention.
A rule of order covering this question says:
None other than members of a bona fide
trade union shall be permitted to address
the convention or read paper therein,
except by a vote of two thirds of the con-
vention.''
AS the delegates will not be permitted to
vote until their credentials have been duly
passed upon, it is not deemed proper to
take a vote on the matter at the outset.
1t is possible that this technicality may be
waived, although it has not been customary
for other than trades union members TO
speak except by special request of the con-
vention.
p. ]. Mcclure. of Philadelphia, first vice
president of the Federation and president of
the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters,
will call the convention 10 order, IL he ar
rives in time, otherwise James Duncan.
second vice president, will preside. Dele
gates from the international unions have
one vote for each 100 members represented.
Local organizations. not members of inter-
national bodies. have each one delegate and

One of the good old fathers of this

it is a fact that in his neighbOrhOOd

who have never washed dishes, but they
are permitted to tramp Il e streets early
