orators the lines of the strikers remained
unbroken today and the second week of
the strike in the anthracite field opened
with the tie-up of the miners complete
as at any time since the strike began.
The presence of the soldiers in the field
had a quieting effect on the strikers and
the best of order is reported from every
district There are no great gains or loss
es on either side, although the Philadelphia
and Reading Company has fewer collieries
in operation in the Schuylkill region than
at any previous time.
Demonstrations were made by the troops
in various parts of Schulykill county this
morning The striking mine workers stood
by and watched the marching miitiamen,
but they showed no outward sign of feel

than ever
Later in the day word was received by
the Reading company that the Glberton COL

Mr.. HANNA IN NEW YORK
HE SAYS THE REPUBLICANS ARE
WAKING UP.
He Again Explains His Recent Utter
ances ON the Stump Regard
In Trusts.

NEW YORK, September Ex-senator
Hanna reached this city this morning d.
rect from Cleveland. He was welcomed to
republican rational headquarters by Cor
nelius N. Bliss, Senator Scott and Com
mitteemen Manley and Gibbs.
Mr.. Hanna said he would remain in the
city for week, possibly longer. OF the
situation from his view point Senator Han
ma said Il find that the much-talked-o
apathy of republicans is being dissolved,
and that the dormant interest Of the voter
at large is being aroused to the necessity
of working. The opening of the campaign
throughout the entire country has had much
to do with this enlivening interest"
Senator Hanna denied the published inter-
view to the effect that he had said Mr..
Croker would be given a cabinet position
in the event of Bryan's election. He also
denied that the national committee, either
here or in Chicago had given any estimate
concerning the electoral vote, and said that
no estimate would be given. He refused to
discuss the coal strike.
Senator Hanna was asked concerning his
recent statement that there were no trusts.
He answered:
Il repeat that all the organizations or
combinations of capital that were amenable
to the law and that had the power to op-
press the people have been suppressed, and
have been dealt with according to the law.
They do not now exist. and If any did exist
they would be dealt with as the law in
such matters demands"
Concerning the challenge issued by Chair
man Edmiston of the national populist
committee to discuss points at issue. Mr..
Hanna said that II Chairman Edmiston
wished to take issue with him on any of
these matters he would be accommodated.
He added that in case his speeches were
needed here he would be heard, but only at
the monday meetings Of the various repub-
lican clubs.

Mr.. Williams, who has worked in China
for thirty-four years. gave representative
of the Associated Press an interesting story
OF his experiences. 1t appears that the first
assault on the mission compound at Kalgan
was made during the night of June 10,
when a yelling mob attempted to batter
down the gate with stones. Seeing the use
lessEess of remaining the missionaries, in
the course of the night, evacuated the COM
pound and proceeded to the magistrates
yamen. The following afternoon they were
ordered to leave, the magistrate declaring
that he feared not only for the missionaries
safety, but also for his own yamen If he
continued to protect them.

After allowing the Americans to draw
their money from the native bank the mag

remain in some place of safety and return
after the crisis. Wherever we attempted
to stop, however, the officials ordered US to

on our heels. Finally reaching a Mongol
encampment at Harausa we saw that flight
across the great Cobb desert was inevitable.

THE TIE-UP At SHENANDOAH.
Promise of Protection Did Not Bring
Miners to Work.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, September 24.-The
promise of protection by the state troops
failed to encourage the mine workers of
this section who have expressed desire TO
continue at work, and the strike in this
region is today more extensive than at
any time since it was inaugurated.
1t is stated that not a colliery In the vi
cinity Of this city resumed operations this
morning, owing to the failure of the en-
ployes to report for duty.
Messages received from various towns
from Mahanoy City to Ashland, including
the latter place, is closed. 1t is estimated
that fully $1,000 men, employed principally
by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company and the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company, are now on strike, and indica-
tions this morning point to a continuance
of the tie-up.
Early this morning five battaIions of in
fantry and one troop of cavalry proceeded
to the outskirts of the town and marched
along the numerous roads leading to the
various mines They met with but few
strikers, and the number of employees will
ing to work was still less. Opinion is di-
vided here to whether the non-strikers
are thoroughly intimidated by the threats
of the strikers or whether agents of the
United Mine Workers have succeeded in
better organizing the union
General Goblin remained at his headquar-
tiers during the day awaiting reports from
his troops. Later he drove through the
mining district and found everything quiet

Strike Situation Practically Unchnng-
ed-Almost a Complete Tie-pp.
SCRANTON, Pa, September 24.-The
strike situation in the Lackawanna region
is practically unchanged, excepting that
the Bellevue washery, which operated
nearly all of last week. is idle today. This
Is a Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
property, and its shutting down is said to
be due to a representation to the foremen
who were acting as laborers there that If
they did not quit not one of them could
feel assured of retaining his foremanship
when the strike was settled. The same
method is to be employed at the Diamond
and oxford washeries of the same COM
pany. and If this argument fails the rail-
road switchmen are depended upon to act.
The latters course is already fixed upon,
but their intention cannot be learned.
Grand Master Hawley and Grand Secre
tary Upton, with a committee Of three
from the local union, went TO New York
today to confer with President Truesdale
of the Delaware Lackawanna and Western
railroad and other railroad officials.
The Lackawanna company made no at

spite the efforts by some of the company
bosses to get enough men on hand to

Rev Father O.Donnell of Holy Cross
Church. near the mines yesterday advised
members of his congregation to keep on the
side of peace, and in order to avoid any
possibility Of conflict to come to church
this morning to mass he would celebrate.
His advice was followed to a large extent.
There was large crowd of people near the
breaker. near as they could get in face
of the armed guards on duty, but there
was no attempt at disorder. They were
there out of curiosity to see what the op-
orators could do. and when they saw the
effort to work was futile they quietly dis

to Shenandoah tonight, If nothing tram
spires to require their further presence near
HaZeton.
Lieut. Col Hutchinson, who is in COM
mand of the battalion, said he was ordered
there to make demonstration by march
ing his men through McAdoo and the sur
rounding towns. Each man carried twen-
ty rounds of ammunition. AS soon as the
battalion had left the cars Colonel Hutch
inson hired team and made an inspection
of the surrounding country. He returned
to the railroad station at $50 am, and
Immediately gave the order to march. The
route taken was down the Tamaqua road,
through McAdoo and then west to Honey
Brook. Here wide detour was made,
which brought the battalion to Audenried
Luzerne county, and then they marched
back through McAdOo to the point from
which they had started.
The troops were received by the inhabi-
tants of the various towns with evidence OF
enmity and dislike. Not a cheer was given
them at any place, but many jeer was
sent after them they passed groups of
people on the streets. The women seemed
to be more annoyed at the presence Of the
soldiers than the men. One woman, after
the troops had passed, shouted to a group

were law-abiding, and pointed to the fact
that the town was peaceable that not
