i've hard coal field in the world The
mine employees in the anthracite dis
trict of Pennsylvania number about
$4,000. The membership Of the union
is not known to a certainty, but the
leaders claim that about so per cent. or
the miners are organized. The union
men do not anticipate any difficulty in
inducing the unorganized miners to
strike.
The coal basins extend over an area
of about 40 square miles. and are dis
tributed throughout several counties,
the more important workings being To-
Gated in Luzerne, Lackawanna, Schuyl-
kill, Carbon and Northumberland coun-
ties If all the veins were located in
one place they would occupy a space
about twenty miles wide and little
less than twenty-four miles long. The
coal seems to vary from six to sixty
feet in thickness. The average pro-
duction from the entire district Is 75,-
000,0 900 tons year.
In the mines In the Lackawanna and
Wyoming valley districts $4,000 men
and boys are employed. OF these So
900 are distributed through the work.
ings lying between Pittston, in Luzerne
county and Forest City in Susque-
hanna county There are $4,000 en-
ployes in the mines in the vicinity of
Wilkesbarre, Ashley, Naticoke, Ply
mouth and Wanamit; $4,000 about Ha-
%
Shenandoah and $4,000 around Shamo-
kin, Pottsville and Mount Carmel.
The closing of the mines is expected
to reduce the regular coal production
rs per cent, leaving free only the Read
ing Coal and Iron company's produce
ton of 20.5 per cent. of the total output
of the region, and SIS per cent. of the
Lehigh Valleys production. Should
the strike continue over a period of
two months the loss in wages will
amount to $S,400,000; loss to railroads
$40 100000, and loss to mine operators
$40, 0000 900. officers of the miners union
estimate that the organization has a
cash balance of s1,000,0OO in the treas
ury with which to conduct the strike
In their demands the miners ask the
OF many evils, the more i'm
portant of which are the following:
Abolition of the company stores, reduce
ton in the price Of powder to $1.50
keg, abolition of company DOCTORS
semi-monthly of wages, addition of the
sliding sclae, wages paid in cash, twen-
ty-two hundred and forty pounds to

wages less than $3.50 and not exceeding
S1,75 day; that all classes of labor
now receiving S1.50 and not exceeding
s1.75 shall receive Is per cent. over
present wages; that all day labor now
'eceiving $1.75 shall be advanced 10 per |

line more than one breast, gang or |
other class of work, and shall get only |

NOW BEFORE THE PRESIDENT
The Question of the Withdrawal of
Troops From Pekan


Washington, Sept. 12.-The question
of Withdrawing the American troops at
once from Pekin is now before the pres
ident and speedy decision Is expected
and required, There are differences
among officials in Pekin on this subject
and the issue Is for the president to de-
eide. The action Of the French govern
ment, as reported by cable dispatches,
in Joining Russia in orders for the
withdrawal of troops has brought about
the contingency touched upon in the
reply to Russia In the following Ian
guaee:
The result of these considerations is
that unless there is such general ex-
preston by the powers In favor of con-
tlnued occupation as to modify the
views expressed by the government of
Russia and leads to a general agree
ment for continued occupation, we shall
give instructions to the commander of
the American forces in China to with
draw our troops from Pekin after due
conference with the other commanders
as to time and manner Of withdrawal"

THE GALE OF YESTERDAY
Interfered With Columbia Football
Mems Practice.

| Branford Point, Sept. 12.-With the
wind sweeping across Long Island
sound forty-two miles an hour all day,
the Columbia university football can
didates were unable to do much In their
punting practice and Head Coach Fos-
ter Sanford emphasized during to-day's
drill clean handling of the ball in pass
es. He set two squads at work, each
composed Of a center quarter and three
backs, and drilled each in a series OF
dummy plays aimed mainly at center
punges. Tomorrow he will vary 1t
with end runs. Sanford is making the
candidates solid in the rudiments of the
game and the youngsters were kept at
passing and falling on the ball to-day
for more than an hour.
To-day was the first since the arrival
of the candidates that they have been
given both morning and afternoon
work. The morning practice was the
more severe, lasting more than two
hours, while the afternoon drill consum-
ed about an hour and half. Sanford
was alone in his coaching as Al Sharpe,
the Yale half-back who assisted San
ford yesterday, was unable to be pres
ent this afternoon.
A single new arrival appeared to-day
Sykes, who was quarterback in sever
al practice games last season. The day
was in general, one Of rigorous routine
work Two new men have caught Coach
Sanford's eye from among the green
timber, and they will be given splendid
opportunities to develop. They are DAILY,
full-back, and Baehm quarterback.
Baehms quickness has impressed San
ford, while Days fine build, his will
lingness to take coaching and his two
years previous training as a prepara-
tory school tackle make him formida
BILE candidate. The general development
of the team is slow.
