OF peculiar and tragic interest.
Young Barbour shot himself Thursday

FORCED TO SUSPEND.
Galleries i'm the Lackawanna Region
Unable to Continue Operations.

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 15.-Nearly all
the collieries of the Lackawana region
that were not closed down yesterday began
operations this morning, but before noon
arrived they were one by one forced to
suspend, until only few of them were
doing anything at all, and these few were
so badly crippled by shortage of hands
that under ordinary circumstances the
operators would have given up the at
tempt to work them. Even the five collier
les of the Hillside Coal and Iron Company,
at Mayfield and Forest City, which
worked full handed and full time the day
before, were idle at noon.
The officers of the Mine Workers claim
that no one except the exempted engin-
GERS, firemen, barn bosses and pump run
ners will respond to the whistles Mon.
day morning. The operators one and ali
say they do not know what the men will
do, but are firmly convinced that a ma
jority of their employees are opposed to
striking.
The Delaware, LacEawana & Western
Company is determined to at least keep
some of its nineteen collieries going The
losses went among the men to-day offer
ing full protection and special favors to
all of its men known to have anti-strike
proclivities, if they would report Monday
morning. If there is not enough men on
hand to start up all the collieries, those
who do respond will be congregated in a
few of the collieries and put to work.
F. F. Loomis, superintendent of the Della
ware Company mining department. said
the company proposed to operate it's col
lieries, if such a thing is practicable. IF
there are not men enough on hand to work
all our mines, we will congregate what
help we have in so many mines as they
can work." he said. Mr.. Loomis showed
the Associated Press representatives let
ter which he received from a large soft
coal company, offering to furnish bitumin-
Gus coal for consumption in this region
at very low rates.
The mine workers officers say that any
soft-coal mine furnishing a pound of fuel
to this region during the strike will be
closed down.
Mr.. Dilcher to-day offered to Sheriff
Proyer, free of expense, the services of
$4,000 sober. reliable adult members of the

critics. The sheriff said he would con-
slider the proposition.

and Wyoming valleys Is estimated at head
strike is already having an effect on the
railroads. which are laying Oft many of
their coal train crews, especially the Della

that there is general determination
among the engineers and trainmen of the

union men. 1t is said the engineers on the
Lackawanna may even refuse to draw coal
from the Port Morris yard and from other
places along the line where coal Is stored.

gloomy to-day than ever over the situa-
ton, and already there is talk of the clos

LONDON, Sept. 15.-Lord Roberts reports

French occupied Barberton yesterday
with the cavalry which he took across the
mountains. He met slight opposition, the
enemy being completely surprised. Twen-
ty-three officers and fifty-nine men who
were prisoners were released and forty
three locomotives and other rolling stock
were captured. The former will relieve US
of great difficulty, as We had to put up
with few rickety engines. French reports
that he has sufficient supplies for three
weeks for his force and for a week for his
horses. One hundred Beers. with many
Mauser rifles and a quantity of ammuni-
ton. were captured. There are large
quantities of cattle and sheep in the coun-
try, which is good news. French inter-
cepted large conveys, showing that Bar
berton was used as depot of supplies fol
the Beers in the south and southeast. Inc
bulk of French's force is still thirty-five
miles behind the cavalry owing to the diff

MITCHELL GOES EAST.
He Will Personally Supervise the
StriLe-AnOther Statement

President John Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, left at S:25 last night for
HazletOn, Pa. to take personal supervision
of the strike which will be on tomorrow
morning. He will make Hazleton his head
arbitrate. nothing has been heard at head
quarters, and President Mitchell and Sec
rotary Wilson both believe the strike will
begin tomorrow. Many kilograms were
received yesterday. but they were from
district officers, setting out the conditions
in their several jurisdictions. The financial
balance last night, Secretary Wilson said,
the most favorable of any week in
the history of the organization. In reply
to a statement sent out by the anthra-
cite operators TO the effect that they did
not have time TO consider the miners prop
osition and that no time was given to
arbitrate, the following circular was issued
from headquarters yesterday:
I'm view of the lingering impression that
seems TO exist in the public mind that
we are trying to force the coal companies
to recognize the United Mine Workers Of
America, We desire TO state that prior TO
the offer of arbitration made by us, and
before the strike order was issued, We
made the following proposition to the
Nuhi COMPANIES lHIOu5fl Tic SCtNitcS VI an
intermediary, who voluntarily offered to
act in that capacity
"First-That the coal companies meet
committees of their own employees in the
same town, on the same date, place and
date to be mutually agreed upon.
'Second-That failing to accept the first
proposition, the companies post notices
simultaneously, not later than Sept 20,
that on and after Oct. / the increase in
wages asked for be granted, and the other
evils complained of remedied.
Concerning the proposition TO arbitrate
an offer made by the employees of
the coal companies and sent out from
Hazleton Sept. 10. and following that
the officers of the United Mine Workers,
on behalf of the employees, sent a tele-
gram TO each of the railroad companies
controlling anthracite mines. offering to
submit the whole question to arbitration.
The kilograms were sent from the Postal
Telegraph office at Indianapolis at l2l5
midday. Wednesday. Sept. II, and no an
swer has yet been received, while the
order to strike would not take effect until
Monday. Sept. IL, giving ample time to
accept any proposition to arbitrate."

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The parliamentary
campaign is in full swing, but Lord Sails
bury has not yet taken the country into
his confidence as to balloting day. and the
consequent uncertainty gives the stump
speaking that is getting on in every con-
stituency an academic tinge- So Great
Britain, lacking a more interesting topic,
has returned to consideration of the war
in South Africa, and the newspapers are
eagerly scanned for signs of the real end
of the campaign, as Great Britain is tired
of carnage. President krugers dramatic
retreat has led the commentators to re-
announce the close of the war, but the
long lists of casualties and deaths in hos
pital, aggregating two hundred a week.
which continue to fill up the bulletin boards
al the War Office belle their statements.
The claims hitherto made that the British
losses in South Africa have been small as
compared with those of other campaigns
appear to need revision, judging from re-
cent calculations made by a well-known
actuary, who finds that of the officers in
South Africa 72.1 per thousand have been
killed or have died from wounds, 1916 per
thousand of the officers have died from
disease, while Of the men 10 per thousand
have been killed or died from wounds and
31.S have died from disease. These start
ling statistics not only illustrate that while
the officers and men have suffered approx
mately equally from disease, the risks of
the officers in action have been hugely dis
proportionate and also that the rate Of
mortality in South Africa is much greater
than in the Franco-German war.
Kruger's millions are the subject of dis
respectful paragraphs and long narratives
of dispraise. The lowest estimate of his
wealth is f1.000.000 invested abroad, while
some calculators figure his wealth at g.
900, 600. The Transvaal government is sup
posed to have e2000,000 or G3, 000, 900 in con-
tinental banks, which will be boarded by
the managing committee, DIR. Leyds says
for a future rising when England is in
other difficulties.

them the foreign-speaking element, and
they are determined TO quit. He claims that
the mine workers organization is strong
enough at Jeddo and Oakdale TO seriously
cripple operations at both mines.
The following was given out at district
Headquarters this afternoon: "All miners in
district No z are hereby ordered TO remain
from the mines until the strike is settled
All mine workers will be given due notice
of any change in the situation. 1t has al
ways been the policy of the organization
that all men on strike should vote on any
proposition submitted, and the men now
about to go out will be given this privilege
before settlement is made, which settle
ment will be effected by and with their
consent. If any men should continue at
work use moral persuasion in inducing
them to cease work. Show by your actions
that you intend to bring about the con-
ditfOn through lawful methods, humane and
intelligent action
Detectives are said TO be arriving on every
train and fully go are reported in various
mines in this neighborhood. An agent for
barbed-wire company stated to-day that
he had sold thousands of pounds of wire
to the operators. This indicates that the
mines will be fenced in and barriers erected
around the breaker houses beyond which
no intruder would dare venture.
The nonuniOn committee appointed last
night by the miners of Jeddo to present
the demands of the men to the heads of
the G. b. Markle Company placed a copy of
the demands IN the hands of the Of
icials this afternoon. General Manager
Smith to-day said that his company was
always willing to meet and treat with its
own employees, and grant any reasonable
demands they might make. The company
will consider the demands presented to-
day and file an answer within the next ten
days.
If the Hazleton merchants refuse credit
to striking miners, as some of them have
threatened to do, the mine owners Will
establish relief stores in this city, Nc
Aldo and Freeland, where supplies will be
distributed to the miners who are not able
TO buy their household provisions.
A great change has taken place within
the last twelve hours, and general strike
now seems inevitable To-day was pay
day at most of the collieries, and the min
ers have enough cash on hand to see them
through for several weeks.
