GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. 1.-THE work
of clearing the streets of debris and wreck
age is progressing steadily and with syste-
matte rapidity The military authorities
have gradually perfected the system and
divided the laborers so that there is COM
paratively 10 interruption or delay in the
undertaking. Stree cars are now running
on some of the lines and water is being
supplied to a portion of the city 1t Is
hoped to have all the public utilities partly
restored before long.
The reports filed at Gen. Scurry's head
quarters up to 8 o'clock tonight reported
the recovery aud disposition of but forty
five bodies during the day. A News repor-
ter, however, noted the finding of 40 bodies
OF men, women and children.
Health Officer Wilkinson stated to-day
that 40 per cent of the debris of every
description had been removed from the
streets; that 95 per cent. of the dead bodies
had been disposed of and that 80 per cent.
of the carcasses of animals had been
removed from the city. But as the work of
removing the debris goes on more bodies
are being unearthed every hour.
There is still an immense amount of
work to be done in this respect and In some
quarters hardly an impression has been
nade in the mountains of wreckage piled
up fifteen or twenty feet high. hopeful
feature of the situation is the rapid pro-

HANNA TO BUSINESS MEN.


CHICAGO. Sept Ex-senator Hanna en-
tertained twenty-five leading business men
of Chicago at luncheon at the Union
League Club to-day, after which he made
short speech The drift OF the senator
talk was that the business men of the
country are as much interested in this
election as they were in 1885, and they
should take as much part i'm ii as they did
four years ago. He cautioned them that
the only danger TO Republican success was
overconfdence and apathy on the part Of
men who are not accustomed 10 take an
active part in politics, and warned his
hearers that Bryan was as much free
silver man now as he was four years ago.
Mr.. Hanna's appeal was that his auditors
wake up and go to work.
When the senator finished there was a
general interchange of ideas of the guests
present as to the work which ought to be
done. In talyking of the purpose of the
gathering Senator Hanna. afterward said:
II wanted to wake them up, and / guess
did before / got through

REVIEW OF THE SITUATION
IN LAcKAwANNA, WYOMING, LEHIGH
AND sCHUYLkILL REGIONS.
Arbitration I'm the MarI<Ie Case De-
cIined by the President of the
United Mine Workers.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1.-THE great
strike OF mine workers I'm the anthracite
coal fields of Pennsylvania, which repre-
sents practically the hard coal output of
the world, began to-day. According TO
President Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America, who is personally
directing the strike from his headquarters
at Hazleton, the success of the first days
effort 10 tie up the mines exceeded the ex-
pectations OF the strike leaders. The hard
coal region is divided into four great dis
tricts-the Lackawanna, Wyoming. Lehigh
and Schuylkill regions. In the first two.
representing nearly $1,000 men. the tie-up is
practically complete. Only one mine, en-
pIoying a few hundred men is being oper-
ated. and this the strikers say they hope
to close soon- In the Lehigh region, the
situation is a stand off, about 5000 of the
1900 mine employees having quit work.
Principally because the union has COM
paratively little strength in the Schuylkill
region. the workmen there have no decided
grievance, as in other districts. and the
strike was not general among the upward
of $1,000 men employed. Indications to-
night. however. point TO the closing to-
morrow of some mines in the last named
district that operated to-day, despite the
assertions of officials of the Philadelphia
& Reading Coal and Iron Company. and
other companies operating the region that
they will continue their collieries in opera
tion- Nearly all the efforts of the strike
leaders are being devoted to organizing the
men in the weak Schuylkill and Lehigh re-
gions and tonight their organizers and
orators are redoubIing their efforts.
No violence worth mentioning has
marred the first day of the struggle. Prac-
tically no progress has yet been made in
the efforts of some of the clergy 10 bring
about a settlement OF the trouble through
arbitration.

AMERICANS pEcApITATED.
One Hundred Tneis Paid for Heads of
Chaffees Soldiers.

VICTORIA, B. C, Sept. H.-Among the
advices brought by the Brecomshire from
China is a story of the arrest of Chinese
with the heads of foreign soldiers in sacks.
1t seems that head money or so taels is
paid for each head. This fact was brought
to light by the discovery of the private pa
pers of Viceroy Yu Lu, of Tien-Tsin. In
his day book there Is an entry which reads:
"Taels 100 paid for the heads of Americans
killed in the relief of Tien-Tsin; taels 80
for the two guns captured on the same oc-
casion." The entry explains many CHASTITY

the killing of the wounded. When Captain

Half mile west of Redkey is the end of

Some time before this gravel train pulled
out of the siding and left the switch open.
The gravel train passed the express at AL
bany. Engineer Montague, of the fast train,
says he saw the red light of the open switch,
but it being on a curve, he thought the
light was on a train on the siding and did
not realize the situation until his train
turned into the siding at the rate of thirty
five miles an hour. Before the crash came

AT MINERS, HEADauARTERs.
Situation at and Near Haxlcton-Presi-
dent MitchelI's Statements.

HAzLETON, Pa. Sept. 1.-THE great
struggle between the anthracite coal min
ers of Pennsylvania and their employers
was begun to-day. Each side Is confident
OF winning and neither of the contending
forces show any disposition TO yield. With
the exception of a trivial incident at No.
3 colliery of the Lehigh Coal Company,
where a gang OF boys compelled a mule
driver TO seek cover by throwing stones
at him, the contest thus far has been en-
tirely devoid OF violence of any kind
The exact number of men who struck
cannot at this time be told, as only esti-
mates OF the number of men who did not
start to work We're made to-day. Reports
received by the United Mine Workers Of
ficiaIs from the entire anthracite region
were to them most satisfactory In this
territory. known as district no. Z, there
are 1900 men employed in and about the
mines. or this number it is conservatively
estimated that about so per cent or 5000.
miners obeyed the order of President
Mitchell to quit work Five thousand of
these belonging to collieries which did not
work at all and the remaining 1900 to
mines which worked short-handed.
Hazleton to-day presented an animated
appearance Strikers from all the sur
rounding mining towns came here early
In the day and gathered in groups on the
street corners and discussed the situation.
IL was a most orderly crowd. Around
strike headquarters at the Valley Hotel
there was more or less OF a crowd of men
all day. President Mitchell, who arrived
from the West last night. was kept busy
all day and evening receiving reports from
every section OF the region. Messengers
bringing information 20 him from nearby
points kept coming regularly.
Mr.. Mitchell decided an important point
to-day in the matter of arbitration. 1t will
be remembered that last week the miners
employed by G. 3. Markle & Co. decided
not 10 strike until the firm had passed on
a set or their own grievances. which differ
somewhat from those OF the mine workers
organization. The firm has an agreement
with its men that II any differences fail OF
adjustment then the grievances shall be
arbitrated. John MarkIe OF the firm, yes
terday agreed 10 have Archbishop Ryan. OF
Philadelphia, arbitrate the differences IL
the mediators already decided on by the
firm and the men cannot come TO "A satisfac-
tory agreement Mr.. Markle gave out an
interview 10 newspaper reporters 10 this
effect. and suggested TO the reporters that
they go see what President Mitchell would
have 10 say TO the proposition. Mr. Markle
not caring to be put on record as recogniz-
ing the union This was done. and after
due deliberation AIr. Mitchell replied:
II regard this as a rather unusual way
Of conveying the wishes Of Mr.. Markle. but

other person 20 whom they will give au-
thority TO act as their representative"
Father Phillips. who suggested the idea
of having Archbishop Ryan brought in as
arbitrator on behalf OF the men, would not
talk on the decision OF President Mitchell,
but in speaking on the subject of early
settlement OF the strike he said:
There can hardly be anything done for
a few days and II is likely that the nature
of the archbishop's efforts may depend
meantime or during the continuance of the
strike. | will watch events closely and
keep him informed Of every opportunity
where mediation or intercessfon can serve
70 make this strike Of brief duration That
Is about all that can be accomplished or
even attempted now that the conflict has
begun. unless OvertureS for arbitration
should be made 10 him, but OF course, that
will have TO come from both sides agreeing
TO IL. IL is too early TO look for a basis OF
negotiating or mediation as the contending
forces will probably test each others
strength before deciding on peace con-
tinued war. 1t IS yet hoped that il will be
peace"
1t is not unlikely that Father Phillips
will go TO Philadelphia to see Archbishop
Ryan this week for the purpose of getting
the latter's views on the matter OF at
tempting a settlement. and also to explain
the situation fully to his eminence.
About 100 foreign speaking miners left
Hazleton to-day for New York. where they
will take a steamer for Europe. These
men expect a long strike and rather than
remain idle here they preferred to go to
their former homes.
President Mitchell tonight gave out the
following statement: Information received
up to tonight that 112.000 mine workers are
on strike in the anthracite region. OF this
number 1900 are i'm district No. l. 10000
in district No O. and 10000 in district No T.
Reports received are to the effect that
large numbers OF those who went to the
mines to-day will join in the suspension to-
morrow. We feel confident that the entire
number of men employed i'm and about the
coal mines of the anthracite district will
determined to continue on strike until their
demands for justice have been acceded to-.
