Hazleton, Pa, Oct. Am uprising OF
striking miners in the Shamokin district
seemed imminent for several hours late
today and there were forebodings of a
serious clash between armed deputies and
large body Of strikers.
Prompt action of some of the cool-head-
ed officials of the miners organization
finally succeeded in averting the threat
ened conflict. Some 5000 excited strikers
assembled at Mount Carmel and, headed
by band of music. started march to
Trevorton, sixteen miles away, with the
avowed purpose of forcing those at work
at the North Franklin colliery to quit and
join in the strike. This was the only
mine In operation in the region, and the
strikers became angered at the refusal of
the men there to stop work.
The marchers were N an excited and
wrathful frame of mind. When they had
covered three miles of their march they
were met by officials of their organiza-
ton, who, after much persuasion, induced
the men to abandon their proposed trip.
The strikers then turned back. though
many did so reluctantly.
been rushed to- Trevorton ON special
trains, and a serious conflict could scarce
ly have been avoided had the excited
strikers arrived at the scene and tried
to carry out their threats against the
W0rknen. 80
Later ii was announced that the officials
of the North Franklin, to prevent trouble,
would not operate the mine until the
strike IS settled.
General Goblin. as result of this new
disturbing element, tonight Cancelled his
order for Battery G, Of thg~ National
Guard, to return home to>.,orrow The
Eighth Regiment left for Home this after
noon.
Affairs were quit in all other sections
of the anthracite region today and the
strikers scored important gains in the
closing of collieries in the SchuylkiIl dis
trict. With a cessation of operations at
the North Franklin, all Of the Philadel-
phia and Readings thirty mine collieries
will row have ceased work.
The point of attack by the United Mine
Workers organizers now is the Panther
Creek Valley, in the lower Lehigh region,
where the collieries of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company have been prac-
tically in full operation since the strike
began in the other sections. Strenuous
efforts are being put forth to induce the
men there to quit work and join the
union.
President Mitchell today said there was
no immediate prospect of convention
of the miners to consider the concessions
offered by the operators. None of the
Lackawanna camp strikers availed them
selves OF the offer Of increased wages if
they should return to work today.

Union Veteran Introduces Resolution
Which Causes Much Comment.
YBv tho Associated Press.)

1By tho Associated Press.)
Washington, Oct. AIT the meeting
OF the Union Veterans Union today Com
rade Pierce, of Georgia, introduced set
of resolutions against the display Of the
Confederate colors which ELECTED much
comment.
After some discussion resolutions on
the subject were adopted in part as fol-
lows:
THAT the blending of these emblemati-
cal colors, the entwining of the Union
flag with the Confederate flag is mere
mockery, an unseenly effort to harmon
ize adverse principles.
I'm the capacity Of personal friends and
blood relations we extend to those who
fought against us the full measure OF
natural affection and when they act IN
the capacity of law-abiding citizens OF
the Republic we cheerfully give to them
our recognition, but when they act in
the capacity of Confederates, making an
unpatriotic display of the Confederate
colors we unhesitatingly decline to ac-
cord to them the slightest recognition or
utilization.

Mr.. stevenson's Speech.

A. E. Stevenson addressed the conven-

in part:
s'The reelection Of President MCKINLEY
will be held by himself and his party
and Justly so, an endorsement of the
policy of the administration towards the
Philippine Islands. Let no Republican
with uneasy conscience, delude himself
with the hope that if sustained at the
polls, there will be a change in the
methods and policy of the Administration.
Such delusion is worse than midsummer
madness. The reelection of the present
executive would be vote of confidence,
a solemn endorsement by the American
people Of a war of conquest, the salient
feature of his administration.
"The condemnation of the Administra-
t;on by the ballot is our only hope of es-
care from the perilous policy it has in
augurated.

we, citizens of the United States, de-

to be regarded by the allies as an UNI
worthy act, and by the Chinese as a sign
OF indifference. We urge our Government
TO carry to an end the work it has so
honorably and efficiently begun and to
maintain a sufficient force here to secure
the protection of American mercantile and

the present trouble is accomplished"

From the Sugar Planters Journal
With the news of the election of Mr.

TO the sugar and rice planters of this
whole country. This almost universal
ratification of the republican admins
tration guarantees To the above men
toned classes of planters that they
will have at least four years more OF
protective tariff and good prices for
their products. Irrespective of poll
tics. the planters of Louisiana really
feel that the republican party is chief
ly responsible for the present stable
footing that both sugar manufacture
and rice growing has in our state. In
consequence, much qualification is ex-
pressed by all connected with the in
dustries. and a period of unruffled com
posture may be looked forward to for
the coming four years.
