ton men make both good soldiers and
marines, and the records of some of the
youths enlisted by Sergeant Farrell are
of the arrest hue.
Frank l.. Brink. who was enlisted
October .. and sent to League Island,
displayed such ability that he has al
ready won his corporal's stripes and a
bright future seems before him. Brink
was a corporal in the Thirteenth regi-
ment, and is well-known and popular
in this city.
Michael T.. Dougher left Scranton,
September II, to join the marines. His
solderly address and work at drill rap
idlyattracted the attention of the drill
master and as a result he was soon
made a corporal at League Island. AS
non-com. he proved more than COM
petent and as a result received his Sec
ond step and is now sergeant.

life, as he served with the regulars dur

SENATOR HANNA CONFERS
WITH PRESIDENT M'KINLEY


Concerning Campaign Matters-Mr.
Hanna Denies the stump Report.
CANTON, Ohio, September 22.-Presi-
dent Mckinley returned to Canton
shortly before IL a. M, accompanied by
Secretary Cortelyou. The President
did not wait for his special car to be
pulled up to the station, but hurried out
with the other passengers and drove to
his home.
Senator Hanna arrived here this af-
ternoon.
Hanna were together during all the
time the latter was in the city to-day.
ut is said one of the objects OF your
visit to Canton was to induce the Presi-
dent to take an active personal part in
the campaign; especially to have him
make some speeches in the west, a re-
porter said to Senator Hanna.
THAT was not talked of; it was not
even thought Of" said the Senator. 4
paign in general with the President and
report to him how matters are pro-
crossing"
From the first, it is stated,
the President has been opposed
to taking such a part. This, it is I'M
derstood, is partly due to a sentiment
that as chief executive of the nation he
should hold himself aloft from party
politics and also due to the fact that
the official cares of Office are such that
he cannot bear the additional physical
strain of work
Senator Hanna left for Cleveland at

SIGNS OF A BREAK.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September o.
At the end of the first week there are
not wanting signs of a desire on the
part of some of the strikers to return
to work. This sentiment is generally
confined to the English speaking ele-
ment
Experience has shown these men the
most conservative, the foreigners being
impulsive and hot tempered in strike
times.
Efforts will be made in all the dis
tricts On Monday morning to start the
mines.
The persistence of corporations and
individual mine owners in asserting
that they will consider grievances of
their employees individually but will
never treat with the United Mine Work
ers has had effect and it would not be
surprising if many mines will resume
at least partially.

THE OPERATORS REPLY.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, September 90
The operators here, in reply to the open
letter Of President Mitchell, OF the Unit
ed Mine Workers, make this statement:
Mr.. Mitchell's demands simply mean
a recognition of Mitchell. There are in
dications that he is weakening and
ready to fall down. Defeat stares him
in the face and the strikers are begin
ming to realize the true situation of af-
fairs. 1t is cropping out all over the
strike region. The men want to return
TO work. The claim of Mr. Mitchell and
other leaders of the United Mine Work
ers that no depredations would be com
mitted while they were in charge of the
strike has been nullified by the action
of the men at Shenandoah. The lead
ers are unable to control the unruly ele-
ment."
All is quiet in this region this morn
ing. About 40 who went out yesterday
returned this morning.

EVERYTHING QUIET.

WLKESBARRE, Pa, Septmber ".
The close of the first week OF the great
miners strike finds everything tranquil
in the Wyoming valley. There has
been no disturbance of any consequence
during the six days and from the pres
ent outlook there will be none. If any
trouble arises, it will be in the Halle
ton region where some Of the collieries
are still being operated. Sheriff Har-
vey has things there in pretty good con-
troll so far, but he has no assurance that
the strikers will remain peaceable. 1t
is his purpose not to call for troops
unless as a last resort. He will, how
ever, provide himself with a strong
posse so that in case trouble does arise,
he will be able to cope with formid-
able mob.
