Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 22.-The Le-
high Valley and individual companies
in the Wyoming valley posted notices
today, in which they invite their en-
ployes to return to work at . 10 per
cent increase in wages, the same to
mold good until April I, 1901. Up to
noon, none of the companies posting
the notices had received any applica-
tions for work. The stumbling block
now is the powder question. At strike
headquarters the opinion prevails that
some way will be found out Of the din.

Haxleton. Pa, Oct. 23.-when Pres
ident Mitchell, Of the United Mice
workers. was asked what he had 10 say
in regard 10 = settlement OF the miners
strike. he said:
sAs there appears TO be some dispo-
sition on the part of tha public to place
the responsibility OF the prolon2ation
Of the strike on the shoulders Of the
mineworkels, speaking for them want
10 cay that when the Scranton ccnven-
tion accepted the 10 per cent increase

ished the sliding scale and guaranteed
the payment Of the adavnce In wages
until April l. the miners had met the
operators moro than half way. They
had shown conciliasory spirit. and l
know of no good reason why the propo
sition should not have been accepted
by the operators. As a consequence.
the responsibility for the continuance
Of the strike rests solely upon the fail
ure of the operators to treat the propo-
sition OF their employees considerably.
The public should understand that un-
satisfactory as Is the proposition OF the
operators, who make the reduction In
the prico Of powder apart OF the ad-
vance of 10 per cent. that even this
proposition has not been offered by q
very large number OF the coal -produc-
ing companies in the anthracite region.
and until all companies guarantee the
payment of the 10 per cent advance
above the rate OF wages paid in Septem.
Der until April ], according to q decis-
ion of the Scranton convention, the
miners are powerless TO act.
II want to repeat again that there
can be no partial sectional settlement
Of this strike. The large companies In
the Lehigh region that have refused TO
move at all since the Scranton oonven-
tion was held are Coke Bros. q Co..
the largest coal producers in the Lehigh
region; G. B. Msrkle q Co. the Lehigh
& Wilkesba,re Company, the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company and
large number of smaller companies.

trict that has accepted the terms OF the
Scranton convention in full is No. 8,
better known as the Schuylkill district.
Companies which produce about IS
per cent of total production of the
anthracite coal fields have guaranteed
the payment of the 10 per cent ad-
vance and have abolished the sliding
scale. !"
When Mr.. Mitchell was asked what
he would do If all the companieS were
to post notices. he said:
"When all the companies have post
ed notices then l will have something
to say"
When 1t was suggested to him that
there might be break In the ra nks Of
the strikers If the contest was TO con-
tinue much longer, he said that not one
man would 20 back to the mines until
they are officially notified to return.

cessful work. Although the latter is
well organized. it is made up of many
incongruous and warning elements,
and early trouble is predicted for 1t,
especially in view OF distribution OF
the Offices before it is brought under
any sort OF discipline.
The ostensible cause of the sudden
upheaval in politics here is doubtless
the necessity which has risen for
more decided and strenuous foreign
policy in view OF the situation in
China. Il is generally felt that Japan
has thus far kept herself too much in
the background in the negotiations
progressing on the neighboring conti-
nent and that the time has come for
her to assert herself, her geographical
position, her eminent services in the
recent rescue of the legations, and.
above all, her superior knowledge OF
what can and ought to be done in
China, all emitting her word and coun.
sci to be held to be of greater weight
than that of any other nation. Mar
quis Ito is the only man to whom she
country can turn in this emergency,
as has been the case for many years
past whenever an important crisis had
arisen. A significant feature of the
present case is to be found in the fact
that the Marquis is now credited with
strong pro- Russian tendencies.

propose to bring together all the old
veterans who wore the gray, and hun
dreds will come in response to the cor
dial invitation which will be extended.
To the end of getting the movement

commander of Camp Sumter 642, .. @.
", invites all veterans to meeting at
city hall at eleven o'clock this morn
ing. It is proposed then to discuss
the reunion thoroughly and perfect all

visation be extended General Gordon,
Governor Gambler and other distin-
guished Georgians to meet with the
veterans here upon that occasion. The
suggestion of reunion and barbecue
meets with great favor, and the meet
ing this morning will put the ball to
rolling in the right direction. To this
end let all the veterans attend the
meeting at city hall at II o'clock this
morning.

JUDGE HARPER BLACK CHOSEN.
Again Elected a Vice President of
State Society.

The State Agricultural Society has
finished its annual session at Dublin
and meets next year in Thomasyille.
Judge j, Ell. Black, of Sumter, for
many years one of the honored vice
presidents of the Society, was again
chosen to that position. Among the
interesting addresses before the Socl-
ETY. was one by Prof. 81. E. Stock,
bridge, Sumter county farmer and
former citizen of Americas but now
director of the Florida experimental
station. 1t was upon the subject of
sugar cane, and he told the members
how to grow it and how to keep it from
fermenting in an ordinary barrel. Fill
barrel, he said, with the moss that
grows upon the trees and run the juice
through it before cooking il, and the
syrup would keep for five years un-
sealed. He said he sold a-year old
syrup recently in barrels for 60 cents
per gallon,

with the ferocity of game cocks, and
to stop the trouble and prevent injury
to the birds MIR. Wilkins called the
dog away. The pointer had run sud
denly into the flock of 90 little par
tridges, and the fight made by the old
birds was for their protection.
