STRIKE SETTLEMENT.
Mitchell Says Conference VIII Have
 EuI Power

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. l0.-There are only about four individual operators in this re- zion who have not offered the 10 per cent increase. Among them is c. B. Markle & Go. These firms, however, are expected to make the wage concession within the next few days.
 If they do not and the miners conven- tion decides to accept the advance, strike leaders say these others will have to fall into line. The A. s. Van Wickle estate, operating the Coleraine and Milnesville collieries, and Calvin Pardee x Co.,, own CTS of the Lattimer mines, posted the mo- tices yesterday.
 There were no marches yesterday, but the usual crowds gathered in the vicinity of the collieries that are still working for the purpose of inducing the men to re- frain from going to work. There were no disturbances.
 President Mitchell and the other off eials of the United Mine Workers went to Shamokin to attend the demonstration there. The party go to Scranton today to remain until after the miners convention.
 At Shamokin President Mitchell was welcomed most enthusiastically by the striking mine workers. The city was dec orated profusely, and all the stores and other business houses in the community closed at noon. Thousands came from surrounding towns to take part in the parade and to listen to Mir. Mitchelrs s speech at @ mass meeting which was held after the parade.
 President Mitchell in the mass meeting spoke of the enthusiasm displayed by the men throughout the anthracite strike re- zion. In referring to the prospective end ing of the strike he said
 Every other strike in the anthracite region has been declared of by your ofh- cers. Heretofore when men went on strike they remained out for time, and then the chief executive or the executive board declared the strike off without con quilting the wishes of the strikers. l want to say, as I have said before, that this strike will never end until the miners, through delegates in convention, end it for themselves"

 nearing the evening of death. I have heard it said that we ought to live as though each moment were to be our last. I do not believe that theory. AS far as preparation Is concerned, we ought always to be ready, but we can not always be thinking of death, for we have duties in life that demand our attention. When a man is selling goods, 1t Is his business to think of the bargain he Is making; when a man Is pleading in the courts, 1t Is his duty to think of the interests of his clients; when clerk Is adding up accounts, 1t Is his duty to keep his mind upon the column of figures. He who fills up his life with thoughts of death is far from being the highest style of Christian. knew a man who used often to say at night, 'T wish I might die before morn ingr' He Is now an inldel. But there are times when we can and ought to give ourselves to the contemplation of that solemn moment when to the soul time ends and eternity begins. We must go through that one pass. There Is no roundabout way, no bypath, no circuitous route. Die we must, and 1t will be to us a shameful occurrence or a time of admirable behavior. Our friends may stretch out their hands to keep us back, but no imploration on their part can hinder us. They might offer large retainers, but death would not take the fee. The breath will fall, and the eyes will close, and the heart will stop. You may hang the couch with gorgeous tapestry, but what does death care for bed curtains? You may hang the room with the finest works of art, but what does death care for pic lures? You may fill the house with the wailings of widowhood and orphanage. Does death mind weeping?
 This ought not to be a depressing theme. Who wants to live here forev- CT? The world has always treated me well, and every day feel less and less like scolding and complaining. But yet I would not want to make this my eternal residence. love to watch the clouds and to baths my soul in the blue ssa ef hsArsr but ! axpect Mhe1 tAe

that the state department has cncoun-

the government of the latter country to
plead that it could not pay our claims
without paying the others, which would

The British claims are said to he many
