PARADE AT cARBoNpA1E.
A Big Demonstration of Strikers in
Scranton District.

SCRANTON, Pa. Sept. 1s.-The big
event of the day in labor circles was the
parade and mass meeting of the miners
in Carbondale. All the miners on strike
from Archibald TO Forest City attended.
National Organizer Dilcher and others
made addresses, and there was consider
able enthusiasm A monster parade and
mass meeting is being planned for Scran-
ton next Saturday afternoon. These dem
onstrations are for the purpose of keep
ing up the courage of the strikers.
The latest movement of the organiza-
tion, and one which was decided upon to-
day, is TO concentrate the strength of the
organization in this district and bring
Il to bear upon the miners in the lower
district, where there seems to be some
hesitancy among the men about going out.
This district is considered solid. Since
Monday several thousand miners Joined
the organization. The attention of Ma
tional Organizer Fred Dilcher was today
called to a telegram from WiIkesbarre,
in which he was quoted as saying:
? IF lives must be lost before il is settled
and settled as the men want il, then It
must be so.' etc. Mr.. Dilcher appeared
highly ineensed and said that he had never
made such a statement. Repeat again
for me-" he said, that ours is net a mis-
sion of bloodshed. We hope to win by
peaceful means"

Company has laid off the crews of sixty

cerned and are getting uneasy. Crews OF

trips they made while in the limits of the
vcity they were stoned by gangs OF hood
lums. The strike effects railroad men at

LONDON, Sept. 2O.-The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Times" announces that
Sir Ernest NJ. Satow. British Minister to
Japan. Will replace Sir Claude Macdonald
at Pekin, the latter taking Sir Ernest's
place at Tokyo. Sir Ernest has been on
leave of absence for some time, but is
due to arrive in Japan next week. He will
go thence to Pekin.
The correspondel says this exchange
will cause some disappointment among
British subjects in the Far East, by whom
the hope has been generally expressed
that the storm Of recent events and the
stress of international problems still un-
solved would lead the Government to rec
ognize the adylsability of appointing to
Pekin some diplomatist of pre-eminent in
ternational standing corresponding to the
pre-eminenee of the British interest in
China. 1t is added that Admiral Seymour
who will leave shortly for Taku. expects

NEW UNION ORGANIZED.
Local street Railway Men Form a
Labor Body.

Local Street Railway Men Form n
Labor BODY.
The street ear,empIoyes of various lines
in the District OF Columbia organized
union last night at Typographical Temple
under the byalaws OF me Anialgamated
Street Railway Mems, Association of Amer
lea. At 1:S0 O'Clock another meeting was
held for the benefit OF those men who
worked during the evening and 400 men
were admitted into the union.
1t seems that the desire for organization
has been brought about by certain changes
that have been made on the lines of the
Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany Among these was the substitution
OF the trip system Of payment in lieu OF
the payment by the day that had pre-
viously been in effect. The men say that
the uncertainty of employment is very
great and that they were unable to earn
as much as they had when paid By the
day.
Monday the charter was received and
then the idea OF the union was made Uub-
lie y call was issued for the street car
men to meet in Typographical Temple last
night at o'clock and soon afterward or
ders were issued by the traction company
for all day men to report at the car barn al
Fifteenth and East Capitol Streets at 7:30
o'clock.
Manager Coleman, of the Traction Com
pany, was at the barn and addressed the
men. 1t is reported that he said that he
had no particular objection to the men
organizing union. but that he preferred
TO deal with the employees in matters con
corning their connection with the company
as individuals. This prompted some OF
those present to ask him If COMMITTEES
from union waiting upon him would be
recognized. 1t is said that he evaded the
question. The men as a rule seem to
think that his remarks really meant that
the company did not want the union to
be organized and If it was the company

The "London Standard" Regards Aid
to Kruger as cnfricndIy.
LONDON, Sept. 2O.-The Standard"
which is a ministerial organ, declares that
the action of Holland in offering passage
on one of her warships to President Kruger
is an act of Intervention which might very
properly be resented by those against
whom it is directed. 1t says that if Jeffer-
son Davis had escaped to Mexico after the
:reE Of the rebellion and England or France
had offered to bring him to Europe on
warship the Federal Government would
surely have regarded such an action as an
insult. 1t adds that except on the incredI-
bic suppostion that the consent of Great
Britain was first obtained the action of
holland is both provocative and INCIDENT
1t has no: even the merit OF courage
since thare IL little probability that any
official resentment Of kind likely to lead
