Sir Robert Hart that there will be fur

it is said that the British government

troops from South Africa TO India in
order to make it practicable to send
more British troops to China. The
military authorities consider the war
in South Africa so far ended that
troops may now be safely moved.

FEAR TROUBLE LYKExs VALLEY
Strikers Threaten to Compel Nom
Ininnisls To Ont MnrIk.

Harrisburg. Sept. 19.-Trouble is
brewing in the Lykens valley region
between the union and non-union an
thracite miners over the refusal Of the
men at WilliamstOwn to join the strike.
The mine employees in the neighboring
towns of Lykens and Wiconisco are on
strike. and threaten to compel the
WilliamstOwn men to quit work. A
meeting of the Wiliamstown men was
held last night, at which it was decided
to stand firm against any attempt on
the part of the strikers TO force them to
join the strike Sheriff Reiff yesterday
swOre in $50 deputies, who will act in
conjunction with a double force OF
watchmen on duty at the Williams
town cOlliery.
A meeting of strikers was also held
last night at Lykens, at which it was
resolved to stand firm for the demands
made by the miners union, and use
every honorable effort to induce the
Williamstown men to join them. Or
ganfzer Miles Daugherty. of ShamOkin,
is working among the miners in that
region, and District President John
Fahey is expected on the ground today
to help him. The Williamstown cOlliery
was in operation yesterday with a full
complement Of 100 men and boys.
The c0lliery at Lykens and Wiconisco,
which employs about 1,10O persons,
was closed down, although a few men
came out to go to work. The superin-
tendent soon asCertained that there
were not enough to operate the col
liery, and they were sent home.
Rev. Father LOgue, rector Of the
Catholic church at Williamstown, is
working among the mine employees
there to stay at work.
Some cf the strikers at Lykens and
WicOnisco threaten to drive out the
men at Williamstown before Saturday,
and serious trouble may be expected
at any time There has been bad blood
between the Lykens and WicOnisco
miners and the men at Williamstown
ever since the refusal of the former,
in 1885, to join the latter in their strike
against a reduction of wages.

the operators have ordered their mules
to be hOisted out of the minees, and
have discharged even the few men
who were willing to work. In the
neighborhood Of Mount Carmel a few
mines sent to the surface coal that
still remained in the gangways, but
the brceEers were for the most part
still. The Franklin mine at Trevor

of that name. were the only two in this
region that have been running at full

No Aid From Bituminous Field.

Altoona, Pa, Sept. 19.-The anthra-

from the bituminous operators in their
struggle against the miners. At a

troubles Of the eastern district They
are having plain sailing at present,
and do not desire to court trouble
They have all the orders they can
fill at present and some are behind be-
cause Of a lack of cars during the sum

among the number. He made a strug
gle to save his wife and three children.
All were lost. The bodies of the wife

The number recovered and cremated
yesterday will exceed 100 or more. The
task of recovering the bodies that are
beneath or iammed into this immense
rick of debris, extending from the
eastern to the western limits Of the
city. distance of over three miles, Is
q hcrculean one, and the most eypedi
tions way of removing the whole from
a sanitary point of view is by fire.
This immense mass Of debris, strewn
with dead bodies. the carcasses of de-
caying animals, etc, is a sore menace
to the health of the city.
Yesterday it was decided that all the
lahorers now employed in buIying the
dead, cleaning the buildings and NOV
ing the debris from the streets and
sidewalks shall receive $50 per day
and rations. Heretofore they have
been working for nothing. and if they
refused were impressed by the military.

ing workers 1t was estimated Monday
that of 5000 mine workers in the Ha-
zleton region about 5000 did not start
work. President Mitchell, in his esti-
mate, however, raised these figures to
10000. Careful reports received from
every mining town in the region war
rant the estimate that upwards of 1000
additional men did not go into the
mines yesterday morning. Not one op-
Gator was reported to have increased
his working force over that of Monday.
President Mitchell makes the claim
that not less than 800 men who had
entered the mines Monday failed to re-
port yesterday. Although the major
ity of the operators and mine superin-
tendents give no figures, they insist
that they are holding their own.
All was quiet in Hazleton yesterday
with the exception of a few petty cases
of breach of the peace. A crowd Of
mine workers, numbering a hundred,
marched from McAdoo through the
South Side, but caused no trouble At
