Scranton. Pa, Sept. 14.-Operations to-
day in the eighteen mines owned py the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western raii-
road company, employing 10000 nine
workers. are almost at standstiii, there
being a few men gathered around the
mine openings, but none of them going
to work.

bracing the Pine Brook. Briggs and West
Ridge mines. employing 1900 and the
Mount Pleasant colliery with 600 employees

this morning, to quit after they had as
sembled for work. The Delaware and
Hudson company mines are working. but
with a small force.
The statement given out yesterday py
President olymphant of this company,
was discounted somewhat by the action
of the local unions of his employees in
deciding to obey. almost TO a man. TO
strike. Individual operations embracing
more than 90 mines and breakers are like
wise doing little today and the condi-
ton existing throughout the region this
afternoon. Is very near to complete
shut down.
The miners and their leaders say they
are not disturbed as yet over the means
OF support for the strikers. The general
feeling is that the miners and their la
borers are better provided for financially
than the public has been led to believe.
All OF these facts warrant the state
ment that the strike is on nearly ~
hours in advance OF the time set for II
to begin. Tonight will see the practical

from Lord Roberts,:

The late President Kruger. with

'Kruger's action shows how hopeless
In his opinion Is the war which has now
been carried on for nearly year. and his
desertion OF the Boer cause should make
clear TO his fellow burghers that IL is
useless to continue the struggle any
longer. tctss -s
IT Is probably unknown to the in
hapitants of the rransvaal and Orange
River colony that nearly 1900 OF their fell
low subjects are now prisoners of war,
not one OF whom will be released until
those now under arms against Us sur
render unconditionaly.
The Burghers must be cognizant OF
the fact that no Intervention I'm their be-

is determined TO complete the work which
has already cost So many lives. and carry

to which there can be only one ending. p"
Lord Roberts then proceeds to point out
that, with the exception OF the small
area which General Botha is defending.
the war has degenerated into irregular
operations which must be brought to an
early conclusion. and concludes:
"The means am compelled TO adopt
are those which the customs of war pre-
scribe as applicable TO such cases. They
are rufnous TO the country and entail end
less suffering TO the Burghers and their
families. and the longer this guerrilla
warfare continues the more vigorously
must they be enforced"

Quite number of the straight. and, as
they are called, 'stalwart' Democrats Of

a fight. in spite.pf the fact that they have
been told that the Democrats In the new
Fifth ward de not stand any show.
They believe that with sound organ
ization they can accomplish some telling

the Fifth Ward Democratic Club was or
ganized on Wednesday evening last. over
go OF the representative Democrats OF
the ward were present, all either personal

were enrolled as members OF the club.
The following officers were elected

All of these gentlemen are well known

DISPUTE q
VESSELS
RECORD.
Claim Is Made That Alabama
Did Not Fulfill The Usual
Requirements.

New York, Sept. H.-Naval experts are
questioning whether the battleship Ala
bama on her recent official trial trip made
a speed record to which she is entitled on
her merits. 1t Is alleged that the govern-
ment trial board allowed an extraordinary
departure from prevailing requirements
regulating the vessels tonnage. Discus
sion is based on the report of Captain
Bronson to the navy department that the
Alabama was weighted TO a displacement
of ten thousand tons and no more.
Sea water as ballast is usually poured
into the tanks of a vessel about TO be test
ed, so as to insure full contract displace-
ment throughout the entire run. This Is
necessary in order that the vessel on trial
may not have the advantage OF lighter
displacement because of the coal con-
sumeu which amounts to many tons, and
is an important Item.
When the Alabama steamed out on her
speed trial, on August rs, the sea water
ballast Is said to have been omitted. This
sea water ballast was insisted upon In
the case of the battleships Kentucky and
Kearsarge. The contention is hotly made
by friends OF the Kentucky that had she
been tried at the same displacement az
the rival battleship she would have de-
veloped readily more speed than the Ala
bama.
The Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company built the Kentucky
and Kearsarge. Its managers have COM
puted the difference in speed that would
be caused by several hundred tons OF
water In the tanks. Whereas the Alaba-
mas trial speed was 1908 knots, the Ken
tucky's l6s7s knot record, under like con
ditions. they declare. would have been H.
44s knots an hour. The Alabama was
built by the Cramps.
In her speed trial last month the Ala
bama made an average OF seventeen knots
an hour for four hours over the thirty
three knot measured course of Cape Ann.
This in the days OF premiums for speed
above a sixteen knot contract would have
netted about 100000 for the builders. The
Alabama was built for s2,65o,OOo, exclusive
of armor, and with no bonus for excess
of speed Additional speed meant merely
another achievement for the Cramps
Her trial was one OF the most specta-
cular ever held. All the battleships OF
the North Atlantic squadron were pres
eut. The Kearsarge and Kentucky marx
ed the course for the Alabama. Their
sides and military tops swarmed WIN
men. The Alabama's great squirt or tne
day was between the Kearsarge and tne
Kentucky. The Alabama swept by the
Kearsarge as the latter's men gave tnree
laundering cheers as IL to efface the last
trace OF feeling over the fearful ngn' Oh
nearly forty years before.

The Rt. Rev. william Nelson Mcvickar,
bishop coadjutor of the Episcopal diocese
Of Rhode Island, this morning, suggested
a plan for putting down protected vice
in Providence.
The bishop proposes that all the soci-
cites interested In the movement elect
delegates to a general conference. later In
the fall, this conference to adopt a plan
OF campaign Through the winter the
agitation is to continue, and be taken into
politics next year.
Bishop McVickar said.
Let the different religious bodies send
delegates to such conference, and then
let this conference decide upon what
course II should pursue. ! should advo-
cate the calling together OF Christian peo-
pie, and all these religious bodies in one

object the purging of the district.

work.

get In orders for their winter supply
earlier than usual this year. This Is un-
doubtedly due to the fact that there
has already been an increase OF 20 cents
a ton in the price OF anthracite coal by
the Boston coal dealers
1t IS assumed that Providence coal
merchants would follow the same course
very shortly. and The News obtained the
opinion of some- of the leading merchants
upon the outlook as far as the raising
OF prices Is concerned.
A News representative called at the Of
fee of John II. White a. Son In this city
this forenoon and gained an interview
with James A. Kinghorn, who Is In
charge during the absence of Mr.. White.
Mr.. Kinghorn had heard OF the situa-
ton In Boston and realizing this, spoke
as follows: III the larger per cent. of the
men in the mines go out by Monday morn
ing the strike will be a strong one when
looked at from the miners point of view.
but should the larger portion of the mi
ners remain at work, the strike Will be
OF comparatively little Importance.
Continuing. Mr.. Kinghorn said that the
strike was being engineered by strong
and competent men who were strong for
what they deemed their rights, and while
the men themselves seemed TO be little
bit lukewarm about the strike, he had no
doubt the leaders could sway their men
any way they pleased.
There is one particular region which the
labor trouble does not effect That Is the
Reading section. where the men are fairly
well paid and receive better treatment
than In the other places.
This section now produces about q per
cent. OF the anthracite coal OF the coun-
try and with the extra help who would
undoubtedly be put at work. the output
would be increased TO about 25 per cent.
This would be nearly enough TO keep
things running smoothly but for one
thing; the people are all panic stricken
and are buying their whole years supply.

price later I'm the season"

PRINCE CHING TALKS FREELY.

Pekin, Sept. S, via Shanghai. Sept. 13.-
Prince Ching arrived here yesterday. ac-
companied by an escort OF British and
Japanes cavalry. He spent the night In
his own palace. Sharp diplomatic play Is
expected for an advantage, but any def
mite negotiations will probably not take
place until LII Hung Chang shall have ar
rived and the question of his authority
shall have been disposed of.
The Japanese minister to China, Baron
Nishi, stated to a representative of the
Associated Press that he wished an in
Changs credentials. and he also believed
that Prince Ching was the only man in
authority.
The Associated Press representative
saw Prince Ching this morning, thanks
to the courtesy OF the Japanese guards.
The prince stated that he trusted that In
the immediate future everything would
be settled satisfactorily. He thought the
treatment of Pekin unnecessarily cruel.
and that this was especially true as re-
CARDS private property. He was thankful.
however, that the sacred city had been
preserved.
He had come to Pekin. he said, with full
authority from the emperor TO obtain
peace by any necessary sacrifice, but he
felt sure the generosity of the powers
would not exact anything degrading TO
the dignity OF China, or encroaching upon
Chinese territory; and he hoped within
month to see the harvest gathered and
homes being rebuilt.
Prince Ching thinks a great blow has
been given to Chinese commerce. but does
not believe the loss TO the city Is ir-
reparable, for a more magnificent one

The Russians expect Ii Hung Chang
to arrive within few days. They do not
want TO commit themselves In any way
until his arrival, though they say they
are willing to hear what Prince Ching
has to say.

of vice in all it's forms and the protection

this society is to follow up any clue which
can be obtained. and prosecute those who
break laws.
