marks said:
II noticed the other day that Mr..
Bryan said tina: the Republican party
had no right to claim the benefit of the
fact that pork and wheat and corn had
gone up. He was speaking OF hogs at
the time. The Republican party said
four years ago that If Its policies were
adopted those articles would go up. Its
policies were adopted and they have
gone up. You can proportion the re-

Strikers-No Settlement.

HAZLETON. Pa. Oct. 1.--Although
the labor leaders positively said they
did not fear break in the ranks OF the
anthracite coal strikers. they were
nevertheless pleased to learn that the
10 per cent advance granted by the
philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron
Company In the Schuylkill valley was
totally ignored by the striking mine
workers to-day. 1t was predicted that
many Of the strikers would return to
work under the belief that the 10 per
cent increase would be the limit of the
operators concessions. but the unanImi-
ty OF the men in deciding to stand out
for q further advance caused many re-
marks Of surprise. was expected
In some quarters that to-day would
bring turning point In the strike,
but nothing came to the surface that
would lead to any indication of the
strike nearing an end. Since the OPP
orators began to hold conferences, Pres
ident Mitchell Is receiving more infor-
nation than formerly and giving out
less. gs

That he knows more about the sltua-
tion than he cares to tell is hardly
doubted by any one. He has practi-
cally admitted that he receives advices
from New York as to the doings OF the
operators. There still Is lack OF any
thing tangible on which to base the re-
port OF an immediate settlement. Presi-
dent Mitchell continues to deny that he
knows anything about 1t.
The strike situation In the Lehigh
valley showed u change In favor of the
men. Several hundred men quit work
on the Calvin Pardee mines at Latti-
Iner. as the result OF persuasion on the
part OF the 100 marching strikers, and
lat Oneida and Cranberry the coal com.
panies lost additional men. No collier
les were closed down in this region to-
day.

mine operators of the Wyoming, Lacka-
wanna and Lehigh regions to-day, at a
meeting at Wilkesbarre. followed yes
terday's action of the Reading compa-
ny. in Offering IN increase of 10 per cent
IN wages to the mine workers. They
furthermore decided to reduce the
charge for powder from 81 rs to 81 50
per key. The latter price has pre-
vailed at the Reading companys mines
for long time
The action Of the Wilkesbarre meeting
means an Increase of 10 per cent to all
mine workers except miners. The lat
ter Will earn an Increase Of about 10 per
cent by reason Of the reduced cost OF
powder.
The meeting was attended by repre-
sentatives OF all the leading railroad
companies which own mines In the re-
gions named. Some OF the Independ-
ent operators oppose the proposed in
crease unless the coal -carrying compa-
nies reduce the tolls on their product to
tidewater. -
Will Not Accept.
The strikers, however, show no indl-
cation Of accepting the offer None re-
turned to work to-day ut the Reading
company's Colliery in response to no.
tice of higher wages and In fact mnny
who had been at work there quit and
Joined the ranks Of the strikers AS n
result there were fewer collieres In OPP
Grafton to-day in the Schuylkill region
than at any time since the strike was
inaugurated i.i
In the other regions there were also
additions to the strikers ranks.
Notices Of the Increase In pay were
posted throughout the entire anthra-
cite region tonight, but the opinion Is
general that few IL any Of the strikers
Will return to work. The strikers say
they have other grievances to be ad--
justed besides wages and powder
charges and they further say they want
recognition Of their union.

to show that this weakness is so over

Just after Sage had that experience

pale and unhealthy. but my attention,
was attracted to a bandage around the
old mans hand. Immediately after the
attempt on his life he went to a near
by drug store and had his slight wound
attended. The drug clerk dressed the
hand and wound about it with surgical
like skill a long strip of linen.

thread Of the conversation and made
history BY telling of the only time Sage

conversation the crafty old chap began
pumping me as to my knowledge Of a
certain town in Indiana I led him
along until he told me the whole story
which was rather an interesting one.
Sage has at this time a number of
bonds of the town Of Hallsberg, in In

bond issue. and when I finally told him
the town had disappeared from the
face of the earth he had nervous pros
tratiOn.
'HaIIsberg became a possibility about
twelve years ago through the extension
of a railroad through that section. The
town was built on the branch Of a,
small river. and soon developed into
quite a place. There were several fac
tories and number of families moved
there. Bonds were issued and improve
ments inaugurated. About this time.
however, the branch road was bought
out and such rearra1gements made as
left the little town alone, with Its only
means of communication a wagon ROAD.

alton of sharing IN the profits OF any
operations that might result from this
knowledge. The letter pointed out that
an acquaintance with the provisions Of
these DEGREES would give the pOssessors
practically an exclusive franchise for
mining in the islands, provided the offer
were accepted before new laws were
passed under the American occupation.
The letter suggested the formation of a
company and the immediate acquisition
Of these mineral lands against the time
when mining men from the United
States would seek to exploit these pos
sessions. Assurances were given that
the mineral wealth of the islands was
great.

errors interpreter showed me copy Of
a letter in the private copybOok in the
generals office, wherein the Identical
offer was made, and to every appear
ance signed by Elwell S. Otis
About this time peremptory orders
were issued from the governors office
that no one should be allowed to go into
the mineral provinces for the purpose of
prospecting. locating or working mines.
General Young refused to enforce these
orders. and he and his subOrdinates al
lowed ex-soldiers and others to pass
through their lines to search for min

This is the story as told by the
translator ia his own words;
Nearly a year ago General Gus
concluded that translation OF the
mining laws in force in the islands was
necessary. and I was chosen for the
purpose. The laws up to 1869 had been
codiGed and published, but from that
time until the American occupation the
