EFFORTS TO STOP NIGHT MARCHES.
The Markles Make Reply. Mine superintend-
ent Arrested.
(By the Associated Press.)

Hazleton, Pa, Sept 25.-It was learned
tonight that Sheriff Harvey, of this
(Luzerne) county, has telegraphed to Gov
ernor Stone asking that troops be sent
to this county, on the ground that the
sheriff cannot guarantee the safety of
persons or property during the night
marches of the strikers The Governor,
it is understood is considering the mat
ter.
1t was also learned that the sheriff's
request was backed up by several tele-
grams from private citizens of Hazleton
who, it is said, are mine operators.
1t is believed that the sheriff is of the
opinion that the presence of troops will
prevent any further marching, thus les
sening the possibility of serious trouble.
Last nights march of 300 men from Gran
berry, Tomhicken, Derringer and Gowen
probably hastened the action of Sheriff
Harvey to asking for State help.
The strikers met after midnight at
Cranberry. and when they reached Tom
hicken they were stopped by Sheriff Har-
vey and thirty armed deputies who went
to that place on a special train. 1t was
yet dark and the sheriff read the riot act
to them by the light of lantern. The
strikers then scattered in different di
rections and began missionary work in
preventing mine workers from going to
the Potts mines at Tomhicken, Derringer
and Gowen. They we're successful in pre-
venting a large number Of men from going
to work. Forr of the marchers were ar
rested, charged with breach of the peace,
and in the afternoon were taken to South
Wilkesbarre and committed without bail
There was no conflict between the deputies
and the strikers. Rhone Trescott, coal
and iron policeman, says he saw Presi-
dent Mitchell and Mother" Jones on
hill at Derringer directing the movements

CAFFERY GIVES REASONS
For Declining to be Sacrificed Farquahar Also
Begs to be Excused.i
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. 25.-Robert A. Widen
man, chairman of the campaign committee,
and Everett V. Abbott, secretary of the
National (Third ticket party gave out
today the Official declination by Senator
Caffery of the Presidential nomination of
the National party. In substance, the
reasons Senator Caffery gives for declin-
ing are IS follows:
He is unalterably opposed to the policy
which would make the country the cham
pion of fiat money. which he considers
the foe to government by law; he is
opposed to the policy which would destroy
the ideal government founded on the
consent of the governed, and which would
build up favored classes by legislation.
81 am heartily in accord he said with
the movement which is designed to afford
refuge for those who are dissidents from
all the policies entertained by one or the
other of the two great parties of the
nation, which are now engaged in the
desperate struggle for supremacy. The
Nationalists cannot hope to win. They
know they will never surrender their
principles, WIN or lose"

GAINS BY THE STRIKERS
Three More Large COllieries Have
Been Forced to Close.
MARKLE REPLIES TO THE MEMS DEMANDS
Il is Unsatisfactory. What Answer Will be Made
Today Not Yet Known. Hundreds Of
Railroad Hands May Soon be
Out Of Work.
(By the Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-The most in
teresting development in the coal strike
situation today was the request of
another county for State troops to assist
the authorities in maintaining order.
On Friday last the Sheriff of Schuyllkill
county asked the Governor for troops
and the request was granted, three regi-
ments of the national guard being inn
mediately sent into that county.
Today Sheriff Harvey of Luzerne coun-
ty, notified the Governor that owing to
the night marches of the strikers he cou'I
not guarantee the safety of persons ana
property and he asked that State troops
be sent to his county
The Governor otter deliberation con-
cluded that the situation at present in
Luzerne county did not justify the send
ing State troops there and he will not call
out more troops, until in his judgment
there is sufficient cause therefor. To-
morrow he will confer further with Sher
iff Harvey on the subject.
The marching strikers in Luzerne coun-
ty before daylight this morning were
quite successful in getting men to quit
work and join in the strike. No overt
acts were committed by them. however,
and when met by the sheriff and his dep
uties and ordered to disperse they obey
ed the order, though in rather a sullen
manner, and some of them somewhat an
grily disputed the sheriff's authority to
prevent their moving along the highway.
Four of their number were placed under
arrest on the charge of breach of the
peace.
Rioting in previous miners strikes us
ually resulted from the acts of marching
bodies of strikers and the sheriff being
apprehensive is endeavoring to break up
that style of strike campaigning.
Beyond the incident of the sheriff's
dispensing the marchers, the entire coal
region was free during the day and the
night. Few of the mines were worked
today, the strikers ranks were increased
and no defections were reported.

The reports that Prince Tuan has been
signally honored by the Chinese Govern
ment have not yet been officially con-

ceived word of Chinese rumors that some
action has been taken. The matter was
referred to today in the talk before Secre-

for the reason that the place of Grand
Secretary, said to have been conferred on
Tuan, is one Of comparative unimportance,
mainly a sinecure. and not held by

In view of this information the State De-

Gus Importance to the reports, but If it
should prove true that Prince Tuan has
been advanced to high station it doubtless
will be taken cognizance of by the State
Department, and may lead to serious
