Notes Of Sante Prison.



l have Just seen a man escape the
g%uillotine. 1t was ten minutes after
the news came to him that the death
penalty has been committed to trans
portation; and the ineffable joy, peace
and satisfaction yelling up from this
criminals black heart to transfigure
his ugly countenance into something
almost beautiful left no doubt in our
minds as to the superior terrors of cap
ital punishment. This French murder
er was simply delighted to go to the
penal settlement of Cayenne for life.
He knew hard work and brutal treat
ment waited for him there. Still he
was joyful. He had escaped the guillo-
tine!
1t was by accident that we saw him
at the moment when the prison barber
was clipping his hair and mustache in
to conformity with the regulation
baroness OF the other prisoners. We
were being shown through the Sante
prison and had come to the hospital

the discipline is not strict. Hoary old

singular attention to him. Then there

Sale, the notorious assassin in whose
favor President Loubet had exercised
his clemency. The barber started to
work expeditiously. We sent up our
request to the governor for permission
to stay a moment longer. Sale, a bur-
ly, good-natured, slouchy looking as
sassin, seemed unable to get over the
excitement OF his reprievs. He talked
necessarily, In a half-whisper, boast
ing Of his plans for a new life in a new
land.

The prison guardian, recently trans
ferred from the Grande R%oquette, had
been on the death watch of many a
condemned criminal. "They are all
alike" he told us afterward. THE
moment they enter the condemned cell
after sentence they are prey to n pro-
found p~rostration which lasts several
days, sometimes a week. Little by lit

The strikers are much incensed by
a report that the strike is to be dcclar-
ed off at the big mass meeting to be
held here on Tuesday, and say there
is no truth in it. They declare that
President Mitchell has no power to
settle the strike alone, and that the
question must come up before a con-
vention of delegates who will pass up
on the proposals. No call has been
issued for any such convention, and if
one is called it will take two or three
days to get the delegates together.
Whatever the feeling of the lower
region men may be, the men of this
district are in favor of holding out for
recognition of the union. and a greater

An Exciting Day.
Hazelton, Pa, Oct. This has been
the most exciting morning of tn,
strike. Marches were the order of tn,
day. 1t was clear that the men were
making a desperate effort to prevent
any stampede to the mines.
Over 500 men gathered at dawn
near Lattimer and marched to town
They were confronted by Sheriff Har,
vcy and 100 deputies and coal and iron
police drawn up across the road. Har.
Vey commanded the marChcrs to stop,
but their leaders had given orders,
which we're obeyed and resulted in a
most impressive sight. As the sher.
i'll commanded the crowd to halt one
of the leaders cried: we are unarm-
ed and We demand the right of the
highway"
At the same time he raised his arms
above his head and the whole crowd
did likewise. With their arms uprais-
ed they pushed through. down the
road and marched steadily to the line
of officers into the single street of Lat
timer. They were careful not to step
off the road, but they called to the
sleeping miners not to work today.
They stopped at one place and Harvey
came up. Boys" he said, Il must do
my duty. You have demanded the
right of highway, but you must not loi-
ter. | am compelled to tell You to
move on"
Out of Town.
The men marched on out of town,
then wheeled and with appraised arms
they broke through The line of depu-
ties and marched the length of the
town, urging all the miners to remain
idle. This performance was repeated
a third time and then the crowI set
of for a long tramp to Jeddo.
Lattimer vas opened, but few men
went to work. Only the cool sense OF
Sheriff Harvey prevented a serious
clash, but he did not want the Latti-
mer tragedy of 1897 repeated.
Marches We're also made at .Joddo
and Cranberry near here. Coaldale.
Panther Creek. Laurel Hill and prob
ably at half a dozen other places. The
marches occurred while a driving rain
was falling and news from more iso-
lated Colleries m in slowly.
The marches pretty effectually off
set the effect of the 10 per cent ad-
vance notices posted by the company
and but very few more men went tc
work. while at least one mine. the
Cranberry. which had been working,
was forced to suspend.
1t seems thes trikers made their us

the tie-up seems larger than ever.

STRIKERS FIRM
THE MINERS UNION WILL NOT
ACCEPT THE TERMS
OFFERED.
Refuse to Return to Work-President
Mitchell is Not Considering the
ed-Conference of All Officers
Necessary to Call Strike Of.

Hazelton, Pa, Oct. 1.-Presidenl
Mitchell again reiterated this after
noon that, Notwithstanding the reports
to the contrary, he is not preparing tC
issue a call for a convention, nor does
he contemplate at this time the issu
ance of such a call.
He said there is nothing in the sit,
uation at present which would suggest
the necessity of bringing together the
delegates, but he intimated that some,
thing might develop at any time which
would require him to issue a call for
a convention on a days notice. He
would not say he is looking for any
sudden change.
The convention, if called, Will be
held in Hazelton, Wilkesbarra or
Scranton. Mr.. Mitchell preferred not
to say at this time.
Miners Ignore Concessions.
Shamokin, Pa, Oct. 1.-Although SUI,
perintendents of the numerous collier,
les in this portion of the Ninth United
Mine Workers district attempted to
start up their mines this morning, few,
if any, miners went to work. A few
business people expected there would
be a stampede of the employees Of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company to go under groun! on
account of the company granting an
increase of 10 per cent on the net
earnings of the men and boys, but they
We're disappointed.
Long before daybreak all of the
Reading company's men had deter
mined not to 90 to work. 1t is sener,
ally agreed by most, if not all the
strikers, that they will not go to work
until officially advised by President
Mitchell.
There was no violence anywhere in
the district this morning. Committees
of strikers lined all leading to
the mines to guard against men going
to work, but as few left their homes
the sentinels had little or nothing to
do,

"Recoqnition or Nothinq.'

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 1--we want
recognition or nothing" said Henry
Thomas of the press committee OF the
United Mine Workers general council
here, when asked if the men of this
region would accept a settlement
which did O include a recognition of
the union. His views were. Endorsed
by several other leaders, and they
roundly denounced the stories that
President Mitchell would not resent
the operators ignoring the union if an
offer of settlement were made. They
represent $4,000 striking miners Of the
Wyoming district, and they say the
%, 700 in the Lackawanna district feel
as they do. They do not believe the
strike will be settled as soon as antici-
pated, because the men of the upper
coal field are not willing to accept any
10 per cen increase. The tieup IN this
field is complete, with the exception
of the West End mine, and the strik-
ers feel that if the operators are as "a
ger to settle the strike as they seem
to be, the union can get more than 10
