Chinese Commercla1 WeaIth.

The progress of China In the last 60
years is well illustrated by the fact
that when the Yangtse valley was
opened, about that many years ago,
100000 represented all that the Chi
nese could buy OF sell to foreigners,
and a few small vessels carried all the
freight and passengers. Now all the
annual foreign trade of the Yangtse

OFFICERS OF THE MINE WORK
w. H. Wilson, c

Wilkesbarre Pa. Oct. 3.-The parade
and meeting of the striking
miners in this city Tuesday was the
greatest! labor demonstration ever held
in northeastern Pennsylvania. iara n
The parade, headed by President
Mitchell and the officers of the ma
tional executive board, started a little
after, two o'clock, and it required an
hour, and 20 minutes to pass a given
point. It is estimated that there, were
fully $4,000 men and breaker boys in
line. rfi t8,,l aEt.8sf..s .,a.
The mass meeting was addressed by
President Mitchell and other officers of
the miners organization. President
Mitchellinh his speech congratulated the
strikers on having already received a
proffer of ten per cent. increase in,
wages. He said their cause had been
recognized everywhere as q righteous
one, and that the time was not far
distant when they would receive prop
er compensation for. their labor. He
advised them to stand firmly together.
He said the strike shall not be ended
by him, and could only be closed when
a convention of miners representing
every union and every colliery shall so
decide. He hoped that not one man
will desert the ranks until the victory
is complete.
Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-No break has
yet occurred in the ranks of the
striking mine workers, though addi-
tional notices of the offer of an in
crease of ten per cent. in wages were
posted throughout the region. In fact
there are many indications of an in
tent on the part OF, the strikers to
insist on other concessions and to also
remain out until the operators give
recognition to their national organiza-
ton. ~
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. "A secret con-
ference was held Wednesday night by

rers, which lasted for one and one-half
hours. At its conclusion President,
Mitchell said the meeting was held for
the purpose of ~canvassing the. entire
situation. 1t was found, he said, that
only about 5000 mine workers out of
$4,000 were still at work. 1t was the
opinion of the officials in the confer
ence, he said, that all of these will
also have to quit in a short time. Mr..
Mitchell also said that of the 5000 nom
strikers 2,100 are in this (Hazleton) re-
gion, and the remainder are at work in
the Schuylkill district. The question
of calling a joint convention and the
matter of affording the strikers relief
were no considered at the conference,
according to Mr.. Mitchell.

Local Matters.
SEASON At ITS HEIGHT.
Dealers Now Having Their Hs nds Fill With
Coal Shipments.

The arrival of the barge Buffalo,
with $40 tons of coal for r. Stone &
CO., yesterday, marks but one spot on
a very busy week for the coal men in
the city. Ever since the arrival of the
first barge over a week ago, the coal
dealers have>had all that they could
attend to. During that time 2000 tons
of coal have been handled by the steve
dores. Eight men have been kept in
the holds of the barges and schooners.
These men have gone to work at 6
o'clock in the morning. and have not
finished until 7.30 in the evening. Dur
ing the five days they averaged hand
ling 40 tons of coal an hour. When
the men had finished their work, Sat
urday night, they were nearly exhaust
ed through the hard work and the heat.
While more time might have been
taken In getting out the coal, yet by
rushing the work the dealers were
saved the demurrage. This must have
come had not the crews been rushed.
as several of the barges arrived at the
same time.
1t will now take but a comparatively
short time to finish up the work of get
ting in all the coal that will be re-
auired by the dealers of this city. The
greater part of it will be brought by
barges, as by this means the coal
is delivered along side the wharves, in
stead of on the schooners. as is the
case where schooners are used as car
Tiers.
About H. 600 tons are required by the
dealers before the furnace fires are put
out in the spring. In addition about
1000 tons are used by the manufactur-
ing concerns and Electric Light Co,
and about 5000 tons by the Insane hos
pital The season Of shipping is now at
its height and in two weeks the steve
dores who have been working 50 hard
will seek other places for work.
