NO REPLY FROM SALISBURY.
Britain Has Not Yet Answered the
German Note.

German Note.
BERLIN, Sept. 26.-Late this afternoon
the correspondent of the Associated Press
in Berlin showed the German Foreign Of
flee private dispatch from London as
serting that Lord Salisbury had informed
Count Won Hatzfeldt Wildenburg, the Ger
man ambassador to Great Britain, that
the reply of the British government to the
German note would agree with that of the
United States. The Foreign Office there
upon reiterated the statement that this
assertion was positively false. Upon atten-
ton being called to the fact that the dis
patch In question did not claim that the
alleged information had been received
from Count Won Hatzfeldt a high For
eign Office official reread the advices
from the German ambassador and then
said: Lord Salisbury has asked for a few
days in which to consider the matter, de-
string to procure certain Information be-
fore giving a final reply. No answer has
yet been given, at least no formal answer
There has been some oral discussion be-
tween Lord Salisbury and Count Won Hatz-
feldt but it is not true that Great Britain
has finally replied in The same tenor as
the United States.'
This repeated emphasizing publicly of the
nonreceipt of a formal answer has deepened
the impression that the London advices
of the Associated Press concerning the
matter are correct. the opinion being that
the German Foreign Office still clings to
the hope of winning England over.
The evening papers. taking this cue from
the Foreign Office. fatty deny that Great
Britain is arrayed with the United States
against the German proposal. The Berlin
Post says: 1.-The announcement is only in

of the United States"

INTIMIDATION OF WORKERS
CAMBRIDGE COLLIERY, NEAR sHEN-
ANDOAH, FORCED TO CLOSE.
Operators Determined to Break Tn
the Strike IL Possible-Some Mines
May BE started Next Week.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26-This was the
tenth day Of the miners strike. and as
yet there is no indication of surrender
or concession on either side. In fact, no
overtures looking to settlement of the
differences have been made by either the
strike leaders or the mine operators. Var
ious propositions for a settlement by ar
bitration have been put forward by per-
sons not directly connected with the min
ing business, but thus far practically no
progress has been made in this direction.
A most noteworthy feature of the strike
is the remarkable good behavior of the
strikers up TO this time, especially when
it is considered that the claim is made
that upwards of 100000 mine workers are
idle in the anthracite region. There has.
of course, been a few disturbances, but
none of a character at all serious. with
the exception of the one at Shenandoah on
Friday last. when a striker was killed
during clash between a number Of strik-
ers and a sheriff's posse.
Affairs were quiet to-day throughout the
region. A shooting affray occurred near
Scranton, in which three men were
wounded, but the participants. who were
had no direct connection with the present
strike.
AT meeting of some 150 or more en-
ployes of Markle & Co., the propri-
etors Of colliery operated Independent of
the coal-carrying railroads. it was de-
cided to accept the firms offer to arbitrate
their differences. pending which they
would return to work tomorrow morning
The strike leaders, however, declare that
many of the Marl1le men will refuse to
jority of the employees are dissatisfied with
the firms answer to their bill of griev-
ances.
The Cambridge mine at Shenandoah
closed down tonight, and the Schuylkill
region is now practically tied up, there
being but few miners at work In addi-
ton to fourteen of the thirty-nine collieries
operated by the Philadelphia G. Reading
Company, some few mines are working
in the Lehigh region, but in the Wyoming
and Lackawanna regions mining is almost
at standstill.
The troops still remain in Schuylkill
county rendezvoused in and around Shen-
andoah, but yet their services have no,
been called for the suppression of dis
order. The Governor has not yet com
piled with the request of the sheriff oi
Luzerhe county for troops, and the sheriff
experienced no difficulty with the strikers
to-day.

very instance to see that NE and Property

every instance to see that life and property
are not placed in jeopardy.
Three strikers were arrested by coal and
iron police to-day charged with unlawful
assemblage and trespassing while walking
along the railroad tracks on the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company property between
that company's No. 40 shaft and No. slope
in the eastern part of the city. They were
released after a hearing this afternoon.
The crisis at the mines of G.. B. Markle
& Co. has been reached. There were many
expressions among the men to-day of dis
satisfaction against some OF the firms
answers 10 their demands. The principal
grievance Of the men is the wage scale.
They ask for only about half Of what the
United Mine Workers are demanding
Operations at the Markle collieries were
suspended to-day so that the employees
could hold meeting TO discuss the firms
answer. The meeting was held in the fore
noon, and this afternoon the committee,
composed of employees of the several Mar
kle mines with the exception OF Ebervale,
which is completely tied up. made known
10 the firm the decIsion of the employees.
They accept the firms proposition in re-
gard to the hoisting OF men from the slope,
acquiesce in the refusal TO pay the en-
gineers by the hour and want to arbitrate
all the other grievances excepting those
relating to semi-monthly pay and the
location of powder houses which
have been adjusted by the answer of Mar
kle & Co. The men also decided TO remain
at work pending the arbitration negotia-
tions and agreed to ask the firm to deduct
from the pay of each family that returns to
work their quota for the payment of the ar
bitrator selected by the men. Judging only
by the talk of the men, it looks as If a
considerable number of men will not go
TO work tomorrow morning. The force Of
men at each of the Markle slopes is now
very short handed. The firm for the time
being refused to discuss anything in con-
nection with the future actions.
With regard to the general strike situa-
tion in the Lehigh valley 1t cannot be said
that many gains were made on either side
to-day. Some who quit work yesterday at
the Coke, Tomhicken. Derringer and
Gowen mines returned to-day. The Le-
high Valley Coal Company reports more

NO TROOPS AT HAZLETON.
They VIII he Sent There, However.
mt First Sign of LawIessness.


HAZLETON. Pa. Sept. 26.-The request
made yesterday by Sheriff Harvey for
troops, although not refused, was not
granted by Governor Stone. The sheriff
and the state officials at Harrisburg. how
ever, have an understanding between them,
and il the necessity arises soldiers will be
thrown into this region in short order. If
this be done the first to arrive would prob
ably be one of the commands now stationed
at Shenandoah. The sheriff had a long
talk with Adjutant General Stewart over
the telephone, and they agreed that in view
Of the calmness now prevailing throughout
the Lehigh valley it would be inadvisable
to send an armed force here at this time.
The sheriff to-day gave out the following
for the information of the citizens of this
region:
1.-The fact that I have called on the Gov
ernor for help is true l have since been
in communication with him and also Gen.
Goblin, who assures me that upon the
slightest overt act by the unlawful assem-
bling of men he will have troops here with
in an hour, and also assures me that they
will stay until all the trouble is over''
Mr.. Harvey said TO a reporter to-day: 81
am better friend to the strikers than they
think / know they are fighting for what
they think Is right. l have given positive
orders to my deputies that they must not
do any shooting: that they must be calm
and try to reason with the men when they
see the strikers about TO commit a
violation Of the law. l believe that more
can be done with sugar than with vinegar.
When faced the men of Derringer yester-
day morning / kept my deputies in groups
so as not TO excite the strikers, and went
myself TO the 300 strikers unarmed and
10 the mines who desired. They positively
refused to do so. and I arrested all those
who were not strictly within the law. II
the men will not listen TO reason. then force
must be used, and that means shooting
The presence OF troops will prevent the
gathering OF mobs. and that is why I asked
the Governor TO send the soldiers
There were no disturbances reported IN
this region to-day. Rumors of contem-
plated marches OF strikers are constantly
IN circulation, but as far as can be learned
there Is no truth in any OF them. The
march early yesterday morning from
Cranberry 10 Derringer was kept a secret
until the starting time. and the strikers
may again get away on a similar march
The sheriff is kept well informed of every
move the strikers make in the way OF
marching and Will try to be on hand In

A Suspension of Sentence.

For % years Squire Quigg held the
office of justice of the peace in Doni-
phan county, and in the early part of
his administration he held the idea that
a justice had as much jurisdiction as a
district court. once a shooting scrape
occurred in the township, and the cul-
prt was brought before the squire for
preliminary examination. After lis
tening TO the arguments the squire or
dered the prisoner to stand up. He
then said, "Mr. Prisoner, it is the sen
