RANKS REMAIN SOLID.


Scranton, Pa, Oct. 2.-There was
not a single detection reported from
the ranks of the striking mine work
ers in the Lackawanna region, de
spite the report of ten per cent
wage increase on the part of the
mining companies.
Efforts to get another Lackawann,
company washery into operation
were a failure, as the fremen and en-
gineers who were asked to worl
there absolutely refused to do so.

An Interesting BIT of wrr Hl.torr

We quote as follows from a speciAt
message OF Gov. John j. Pettus to tho
special session of the Mississippi legis-
iature, convened January Is, 1861:
Being advised by the governor of
Louisiana that he had reason to believe
mat an expedition would be sent down
the Mississippi to reinforce the garri-
sons OF the forts and arsenals of that
State, sent Capt. d. F. Kerr with six.
teen OF the Jackson Artillery Company.
and ordered Capt. II. II. Miller to call
out the volunteer companies of Vicks-
burg, and to take such position as
would enable him to prevent any hos
tile expedition from the Northern
states descending the river. Learning
that the forts and arsenals were fully
garrisoned by Louisiana, l directed
Capt II. II. Miller to withdraw his
forces from the positions they had
taken.
AS soon as l was informed that the
governor of Louisiana had taken the
arsenal at Baton Rouge, | sent Col. G.
t. Armstead with a letter to Gov.
Moore, requesting him to furnish
Mississippi with ten thousand stands of
arms, on such terms as he might deem
just Col. Armstead informs me that
MS eXellency has responded to my re.
quest by ordering 5000 muskets, 1000
rifles, and six twenty.four pound guns,
with carriages, and a considerable
amount of ammunition, to be delivered
TO him. which will be shipped to Missis-
sppi as soon as possible.
This act of friendship and confidence
from our sister State, hope will be
fully appreciated and fully aclSnowl-
edged by the legislature and people of
Mississippi"
In the Military Annals of Mississippi,
compiled by Capt. j. c. Rietti, the first
paragraph above appears In what is
given therein as the special message of
Gov Pettus. The following interest
ing statement is injected into the mes
sage as printed in the annals" but is
not part Of the message submitted to
the legislature:
"On January 10th, Capt. Kerr arrived
at Vicksburg, and together with the
Nicksburg Southrons, Capt. L. Moore;
the Nicksburg Sharpshooters, Capt.
Horace Miller, and the Warren Guards,
Capt Brown, proceeded to Fort Hill,
above the city, and erected fort on
the bluff. On the 11th the steamer 0.
A. Tyler, of Cincinnati, without CON
traband arms or soldiers, appeared in
the river above. On attempting to pass
on her way down to the Viclisburg
landing, Capt. Kerr ordered shots fred
at her, and, without halting, under a
fire of solid shot drfted on down to the
landing. This was the first shot fred
during the war on the Mississippi river
Learning that the forts were fully
garrisoned below Vicksburg, Capt.
Miller withdrew his forces"

be, the committees of employees will

NOTICE or AN INCREASE.
Counter Notice Asking the Striker
to Pay No Attention TO Conn
nnnN's Offer.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-The following
notice, bearing date of October /, was
posted yesterday in the vicinity of all
the colieries of the Philadelphia &
Reading Coal and Iron Co., in the an
thracite region:
Philadelphia & Reading Coal and
Iron Co., oct. 1, 19OO.--This company
will pay an advance of ten per cent
on the wages of all men and boys en-
ployed at its collieries.
This advance takes effect to-day.
[Signed r. c. LUTHER,
General Superintendent.
Beneath this notice another was
posted, which read as follows:
Observation-Disclosures, United Mine
Workers of America: DO not pay
any attention to this notice, posted by
Mr.. Luther, of the Philadelphia q
Reading Coal and Iron Co., but wait
until you hear from President Mitch
ell of the United Mine Workers Of
America, or until you have decided by
your own locals what is right for you
to do.
ISigncdl C.B. POTTER.
The regular Reading company ad
vance for the last half of September
aHd tho first half of October had
previously been fixed at six per cent
above the $50 basis. The scale fot
the preceding 50 days was at the $2.jG
basis. The advance of ten per cent
offered in the posted notice by the
Reading company is separate and dis
tinct from the natural scale increase
and hence the total increase to the
miners would be 16 per cent.

The Confederate Monument.

We published last month a historical
sketch and description of the Confed.
crate monument on capital grounds at
Jackson. 1t was said that the figure
of the Confederate soldier was intended
to represent Col. George NJ. Govan, sec
retary of State, and is generally ac-
cepted as faithful likeness of that
gallant and beloved Mssissippian. As
a matter of fact, Col, Govan did pose
for the statue; but the sculptor Capt.
j. 7, Whitehead, made the face that OF
Gov. Stone. The governor was not in.
formed of this until after the unveilng,
when Capt Whitehead presented Mrs.
Stone a marble bust of the figure,
which she still has. Auditor w. w.
Stone and Capt, Whitehead conceived
this compliment to Gov. Stone, and he
only learned what they had done after
it was too late to protest.

IMPORTANT DISPATCHES.
Tending 10 Confirm Events Recorded
In Previous Teiegrams.

III
Washington, Oct, 2.-Several i'm.
portant dispatches were received
from China. Generally they tend to
confirm the events recorded Satur.
day. From Canton, Consul McWade
reports the issue of the decree pun
ishing Tuan and his colleagues, so
that there is no longer doubt as to
the accuracy of Sheng's statement on
that point. Mr.. Conger also has re-
ceived official notification of the
Chinese peace commission which was
forecasted by Minister Wu's adyices
several days ago. Mr. Conger made
no reference to the condemnatory de-
cree, hence it is inferred that it was
not issued when his dispatch was sent
last Thursday. The text of these two
dispatches is as follows:
Consul McWade's Dispatch.
Canton (China), Oct. 1, 1900 Sec.
retary of State, Washington-Decrees
Just issued. Emperor blames ministers
for whole trouble. Orders Tuan.
kangi and other officials degraded
and punished by imperial courts. En-
peror holds Tuan and others entirely
responsible for bloodshed.
Signed "McWADE."
Minister Conger's Dispatch.
"Pekin, Sept. 27 (via Taku), Sept.
30.-Secretary of State, Washington:
Have received notice to-day from
Prince Ching that he, Earl Ii, Jung
Lu and Niceroys Tin Kun vi and
Nnang emp Iung VIII act IN concert
in negotiations for peace. Jung Lu is
in the interior, Ii Hung Chang is at
Iien Tsin.
lSignedl "CONGER."
What the Dispatch Indicates.
1t is evident that the two yiccroys
mentioned are Liu Kun vi, the viceroy
of Nanking, and Chang Chip Tung, the
Niceroy of Wu-Chang, the difference in
spelling being in telegraphic trans
mission, There has been some ques-
tion as to Yung Lu being a member
of the commission, but Mr.. Conger's
report settles all doubt. Minister WI
already has received an edict naming
Gng Lu as one of the commission,
but this was questioned in other Chi.
nese quarters.
lung Lu Not Satisfactory.
The appointment is not likely to be
satisfactory to any of the powers, as
Hung Lu has made himself almost as
offensive as Prince Tuan. He is gen
eralissimo of the imperial troops, and
is regarded as mainly responsible for
the persistant fight on the legations
during the crisis. The other commits.
sioners are highly acceptable. Earl Ii
and Prince Ching are already favor
ably known, and the two viceroys are
among the most pacific, enlightened
and pro-foreign men in the empire.
