Strike order Expected.

SCRANTON Pa, September 9.-The inn
preston prevails here that the delay of
the national board of the United Mine
Workers III ordering a strike will be fol-
lowed promptly by strike order within
TIE next few days The delay has, it is
said, had the effect of cooling the strike
ardor of the mine workers very percepti-
bly,.
The mass meeting in West Scranton
this afternoon, which was advertised to
be a gathering of all the mine workers OF
the city and vicinity, was attended, by
about three thousand persons. The pro-
jectors of the meeting did not call for
vote on the strike questions. The speak
ers were Secretary John l.. Dempsey, of
District No. l, and John j. Harte and
John Hammis, two local labor leaders,
identified with the building trades coun-
cil Secretary Dempsey said he was conf
dent a strike would be declared. The 9th
ers did not express an opinion on the
strike probabilities.

Hazleton convention and unless a great
change has occurred in their attitude
they will rot arbitrate or make any con-
cessions, regardless of the decision of the
national board to hold off and give more
time for adjustment of the trouble. Pat
rick Duffy, John Fahey and T. D. Mich
oils, composing the executive board of the
United Mine Workers of the anthracite
fields, did nothing to-day and tonight all
left for their homes. This is taken to in
dictate that all efforts for a settlement on
the part of the board have been given
up, unless the operators agree within the
up. Unless the operators agree within the
next twentyfour hours to a proposition
for submitting the miners grievances to
arbitration. The decision of the national
board to defer the declaration of threat
ened strike has caused both relief and
anxiety In the Hazleton district
The news from Indianapolis last night
had the effect of creating feeling of re-
lief, but among the business interests
which have been considerably disturbed
and partially paralyzed during the last
week on account Of the fear of the strike.
there still exists a suspense which will
not be removed until decisive action has
been taken either one way or the other.
The mine workers organizers stationed
here were busy this afternoon addressing
meetings where locals have been estab-
lished, and in organizing new ones so as
to be fully prepared for carrying out
strike order, providing word to that effect
is received within the next few days from
indianapolis.
+t,,, Iii h ie of
of the action of the national board yester-
day at Indianapolis, said: The result is
exceedingly pleasing to me. / believe that
the greatest victory that the workers
could have accomplished at this time lies
in the postponement of strike measures as
originally contemplated"

AN EARLY AUTUMN DRESS FRocK FOR YOUNG GIRLS
NEGRO MINERS
Are Being Rushed Into kanawha
and New River Fields

and New River Fields
Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Sept. o.
The coal operators of the Kanawha
and New River regions are increasing
their working force in the mines, al
though they are not producing any
more coal per month than they have
been heretofore. Negro laborers are
becoming very numerous and they are
found in squads at every mine, seeking
work, and are as a rule, willing to
work for less than what is being paid
the native miners. These negro min
ers and laborers come from Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee, and, ac-
cordlng to their story, they had their
railroad fare from their homes here
paid by agents, who said they were
wanted here to work on the railroads
and in the mines, and were assured
that they would be paid twice as much
as they were making at their homes
in Virginia and the Carolinas. Where
the money comes from to pay the
transportation Of these negroes here,
and who is responsible for their pres
ence, is not positively known by the
public. 1t is said by some that the
coal operators have been interested in
getting them here to supply the labor
market in preparation of the proposed
cut in the miners wages, which is to
occur in November or December next.
When the cut is made the old.miners
and laborers will refuse to wofk,-and
the imported laborers will be on hand
to take their places Others affirm that
these negroes are being brought here
for purely political purposes-that they
are being brought here merely to vote
the Republican ticket in the coming
election But, whatever may be the
purpose or object of thir presence, 1t
has caused considerable dissatisfaction
among the native miners and laborers.
The more new men that are put to
work in the mines, the less work there
will be for the Odd men, and as the
West Virginia miners see their oppor-
tunity for making living reduced ey-
cry day they are naturally dissatisfied,
and there is naturally a great deal OF
grumbling. They are specially in
censed when they realize that the i'm
portation of miners and worklngmen
from other States means reduction
in their own pay within a short time.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September p
The Judge advocate general of the army

LAST HEK o. THE RACE.
THE INTERSTATE LEAGUE BASE
BALL SEASON DRAWING
TO A CLOSE.
INEQUALITY OF THE CLUBS
Causes Financial L0sses-How the
Teams Will Probably Finfsh-Ae-
suits of Sunday Games In the in-
terstate and American Leagues.
Boxing, Racing and other Sport
ing Matters.

The end of the Interstate penna1lt
race is in sight. About week VIII
finish the scheduled season. 1t has not
been a successful summer, owing to
the fact that there is such wide diff
ference between the playing ability OF
the leading and tail end teams. A
race like that which has been wit
messed in the National league this sea-
son, would Tot have necessitated any
changes In the circuit, and the tail end
clubs would have lost comparatively
little. AS it is, Toledo, Dayton and
Fort Wayne are probably the only
clubs which will finish with balance
on the right side of the ledger. Mans
field will not drop much. The other
clubs will be heavy losers, and the
game has been killed in Youngstown,
New Castle and Columbus.
The seat of the trouble in the Inter
state this season has been the dispar-
.ity in the relative strength of the
teams. If but 200 points divided the
leading club from the tail ender, as in
the National, there would have been
no breaks. The blame might very
properly be placed at the doors of the
local managers, and it, might be truth
fully said that one had as good oppor-
tunities as another to sign a strong
team, but the best interests OF the
league demand that at the winter
meetings some action be taken by the
Board of Managers to prevent such
deplorable condition of affairs as has
existed this year. There is stronger
reason for following such a course
in the Interstate than in the National,
and the National has found it to be
wise plan. Managers will have to sac
rifice their selfishness in the interest
of the entire organization. The cities
are comparatively small. The Marion
team in Toledo would not have lasted
as long as it did in Columbus. No
city in the circuit will support stead
lily losing club.
There is no longer any interest in
the race for the clubs in the second
division. There is no possible chance
for them to get any higher. Dayton
has "cinch" on the pennant, and the
only fight is for second place, among
Toledo, Fort Wayne and Wheeling.
Wheeling has chance, but a very
poor one, to dislodge Toledo and Fort
wayne A series of four games be-
tween Wheeling and Mansfield will
open at the Island ball park this after
noon. Mansfield is probably the
strongest team in the league at present,
and the games are certain to prove in,
teresting.

a wreck of a vessel which looked like
large steam tug was observed just be-
fore the party landed. In the bay
the caroasses OF nearly
Two Hundred Horses and Mules
were seen. but no human body was Wis
IDLE.
The scenes during the storm, Mr.
Timmins said, could not be described.
Women and children were crowded into
the fremont hotel, where he was seek
ing shelter, and all night these unfor-
tunates were 6emoaning their losses
of kindred and fortunes. They were
grouped about the stairways and in
the galleries and rooms of the hotel.
What was occurring in other parts OF
the city he could only conjecture.
The city of Galveston, he says, is now
entirely submerged and cut off from
communication. The boats are gone,
the railroads cannot be operated. and
the water is so high that people can
not walk out by the way of the bridge
across the bay even should that bridge
be standing.
Provisions will be badly needed, as
great majority of the people lost all
they had. The water works power house
was wrecked, and water famine is
threatened, as the ciSterns were all
ruined by the overflow OF salt water.
This, Mr.. Timmins remarked, is the
most serious problem to be faced now.
The City is in Darkness.

There is no way of estimating the
property damage at present. So far as
he could see, Mr.. Timmins says the
east end portion of the city, which is
the residence district, has been practlc-
ally wiped out of existence. On the
west end, which faces the gulf on
northern portion of the island, much
havoc was done. The beach has been
swept clean, the bath houses are de-
stroyed and many of the residences are
