How the Strike Was Won.

Columbus, o., Oct. 1S.-Political in.
fluence alone won the anthracite strike
for the coal miners, it would seem.
Ohio State Labor Commissioner
Ratchford, who is president of the o.
U. NJ. W.. in course of a conference
with Hanna October 3, asked Hanna If
he feared any bad political effect from
the strike. Hanna smiled and replied
mike, don't worry about that. The
strike will be settled in two weeks"
On October II, just VT weeks from
the day the senator made his predic-
ton, the operators made their conces-
sions. A fear that the tariff on coal
would be removed is what brought
them to terms.

RESTS IN POWERS CASE
Prosecution Completes Its Pres
entation of Evidence.
GOLDEN rs ASSAILED
EFFORT IS MADE TO IMPEACH
HIS TESTIMONY.

Georgetown, KY, July 2S.-The pros
ecution in the trial of ex-Secretary of
State Powers, charged with being an
accessory to the murder of William
Goebel, concluded its evidence this af-
ternoon.
The defendant viii take the stand
Monday and testify in his own be-
half
Three weeks have been consumed in
the preliminaries attending the selec-
ton of the jury and hearing the evil
dence that has been introduced by the
prosecution.
Golden resumed the witness stand to-
day and ex-Judge Sims began a severe
cross examination. Golden repeated the
story how he came to be called as a
witness. He said he did not tell his
brother law, John Stamper, that he
had been promised $500 or that he
could have $1,000 in case of a convic-
ton of the parties. He also denied
that he had ever said that if he and
Culton could get together they could
convict all of them.
Golden was kept busy for an hour
or more denying that he had made
statements that are attributed to
him, which, it is supposed, would be
introduced by the defense to impeach
his testimony.
On redirect examination Golden said
he had been approached by his broth
er-in-law, John Stamper, who told him
he had a talk with L. F. Sinclair, now
one of Powers attorneys, and that Col
den could get $4,000 if he would leave
the state and not appear against Pow
ers. Witness said he refused to con-
slider the proposition. He gave as
reason for not going back to Knox
county that after he had made a con-
fession. that his brothers, who lived
there, advised him TO stay away, as
they believed he would be killed.
Judge Cantrill announced that the
jury will not be allowed to visit the
scene of the tragedy until all the evil
dence IS in.

OTIS ON MURDER FOR REVENGE.
General Discusses Story of Wholesale
Slaughter of Filipinos.

General OioCioSCo OIOAy VI w uOlSSdl6
Slaughter of Filipinos
New York. July 2S.-A special to the
World from Rochester, says:
General ElweH S. Otis today dis
cussed the cable dispatch received from
Manila Thursday, which stated that a
soldier was murdered in a native store
Al Oroquita. northern Mindanao. on
Thursday. while purchasing some food
and that a company of the Fortieth in
fantry stationed at Cayagan immedi-
ato}v went to Oriquita and killed
efghty-nine natives as an act of re-
yenge.
General Otis said: Major Goodwin is
in command at Cayagan, where the
eighty-nine FilipinOs are said to be
killed. and it is certain that no such
action was taken on his part without
cause. Alvarez is murderer who
has been making it uncomfortable for
us ever since we landed IN the island
and also has been robbing the natives
until they asked the aid of our troops
all along the northern coast of the
island. His band of marauders are
located in the neighborhood Of Cayagan
and have been making raids continu-
ally They succeeded in entering the
town one time and were driven out by
our troops 1t was probably his men
VINO were implicated in the murder.
Major Goodwin is a thoroughly reliable
officer and you may be sure that he
would not have attacked and killed
that number of natives if they were
not under arms.
There has not been single case 90
an execution of natives for the murder
of Americans
