GAIN FOR STRIKERS.

The Entire Anthracite Field Will
Likely be Tied Up--All Advances
in Wages Refused.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Oct. 1.-THE
mine operators OF the Wyoming, Lacka-
wanna and Lehigh regions to-day, at
meeting at Wilkesbarre. followed yes
terday's action Of the Reading compa-
ny, In offering an increase of 10 per cent
in wages to the mine workers. They
Furthermore decided to reduce the
charge for powder from 81 rs to 81 50
per keg. The latter price has pre-
vailed at the Reading company's mines
for q long time.
The action OF the Wilkesbarre meeting
means an increase OF 10 per cent TO all
mine workers except miners. The lat
ter will earn an Increase of about 10 per
cent by reason Of the reduced cost of
powder. y
The meeting was attended by repre-
sentatives OF all the leading railroad
companies which own mines In the re-
Sions named. Some OF the independ-
ent operators oppose the proposed in
crease unless the coal-carrying compa-
MES reduce the tolls on their product to
tidewater.
Will Not Accept.
The strikers, however, show no indi-
cation OF accepting the offer. None re-
turned to work to-day at the Reading
company's colliery in response to no.
tice OF higher wages and In fact many
who had been at work there quit and
Joined the ranks of the strikers. AS n
result there were fewer collierics In op-
Grafton to-day In the SchuylkIll region
than at any time since the strike was
inaugurated
In the other regions there were also
additions to the strikers ranks.
Notices OF the Increase In pay were
posted throughout the entire anthra-
cite region tonight, but the opinion Is
general that few II any Of the strikers
Will return to work! The strikers say
they have other grievances to be ad--
5usted besides wages and powder
charges and they further say they want
recognition OF their union.
President Mitchell, OF the United
Mine Workers, will visit Wikesbarrc

WASHINGTON, March 5.-This
statement was posted at the Navy De-
partment to-day:
1.-The Detroit and the Marblehead
have been sent to Central America on
account of dispatches received from
our representatives there which indi-
cate some recurrence of the disturbed
state of affairs, and for the purpose of
protecting American interests there"
The officials of both the State and
Navy departments do not indicate
what representatives are meant. 1t
was stated in answer to inquiry that
the action of the Navy Department
was taken at the instance of the State
Department, which in turn was moved
to make a recommendation that ships
be sent, rather from a general report
of threatening conditions in Central
American than from any specific Of
fetal advices. The trouble in the
present instance is supposed to grow
out of the organization in Nicaraguan
territory of revolutionary expedition

pose of which is to overthrow Presi-

WASHINGTON. March 5.-Senator
Davis, of Minnesota, to-day offered an
amendment to the Puerto Rican bill
in the Senate. Its effect rs to have
the tariff laws of the United States
applied to Puerto Rico upon forelgf-
imports, but allows absolute free
trade between the United States and
Puerto Rico.
He also proposes a new section as
follows:
For the purposes of this act the
following propositions of the Consti-
tuition of the United States are hereby
extended and made applicable to Puer-
to Rico:
"The Congress shall have power to
lay and collect taxes, duties, imports
and excuses shall be uniform through
out the United States.
"No capitation or other direct tax
shall be laid, unless in proportion to
the census or enumeration hereinbe-
fore directed to be taken.
mo tax or duty shall be given by
any regulation of commerce or reve-
nue. to the ports of one State over
those of another; nor. shall vessels
bound to or from one State be obliged
to enter, clear or pay duties in an
other"
The amendment is as follows:
"And it is hereby enacted that all
duties, imposts and excuses imposed
or levied, laid or collected, by Con-
gress upon Puerto Rico or any pro-
ducts or business thereof, or in rela-
ton to said Puerto Rico, shall be uni
form with all duties, imposts and ex-
cises laid and collected throughout
the United States.
THAT no capitation or other direct
tax shall be laid by Congress in or up
on Puerto Rico, unless in proportion to
the census or enumeration directed to
be taken by the constitution.
"That no tax or duty shall berlaid
on articles exported from Porto Rico.
THAT no preference shall be given
by any regulation of commerce to the
port sof Puerto Rico over those of any
State of the Union, nor shall vessels
bound to or from Puerto Rico be
obliged to enter, clear or pay duties
in any State of the Union.
Nor shall any preference be given
by any regulation of commerce or rev.
enue to the ports of any State of the
Union over those of Puerto Rico, nor
shall vessels bound to or from the
ports of any State of the Union be
obliged to enter, clear or pay duties
in any port of Puerto Rico"
Senator Davis says his amendment
speaks for itself. 1t extends the Con-
stitution ever Puerto Rico and by so
doing implies that it canned be extend
ed to the Philippines or other terri
tories except by legislative action
