MORE MINES CLOSED Markle Company's Offer to Ar
 bitrate Accepted. THE TIE UP IS ALMOST COMPLETE Little Trouble Has Occurred and Men Are Hopeful-Sheriff Hovey of Lu-
 zerne County Explains His
 Gall For Troops
THE TIE UP IS ALMOST COMPLETE

Philadelphia, September 2s.-This was the tenth day of the miners strike, and as yet there Is no indication of concession on eith- CT side. In fact, no overtures looking to a settlement of the difficulties have been made by either the strikers or the opera tors.
 A noteworthy feature of the strike Is the remarkable good behavior of the strikers up to this time, especially when it Is con- sidered that the claim is made that up- wards of o0,000 mine workers are idle in the anthracite region.
 There has, of course, been a few dlstur- bances, but none of a character at all se- rious, with the exception of the one at Senandoah on Friday last, when a striker was killed during clash between num- Der of strikers and sheriff's posse.
 Affairs WNTs quiet throughout the region today. A shooting affray occurred near Scranton, in which three men were wound- ed, but the participants, who were Italians, were not strikers, and the affray had no direct connection with the present strike
 At a meeting of 250 or more employees of Mar1le and Company, the proprietors of colliery operating independent of the coal carrying railroads, 1t was decided to &C., cept the firms offer to arbitrate their dif- ference, pending which they will return to work tomorrow. The strike leaders, how ever declare that many of the Markle men will refuse to enter the mine tomorrow, and say a majority of the employees are dissatls- fled with the firm.
 The Cambridge mine at Shendoah closed down tonight and the Schuykill region is nearly tied up, there being but few miners at work. In addition to fourteen of the thir- ty-nine colleries operated by the Philadel- phia and Reading Company, few mines are working In the Lehigh region, but in the Wyoming and Lackawanna regions mining Is almost at a standstill.

 T was at Morgans office," replied the Senator, but l was there to see a man from St. Paul"
 Have you been informed that a settle ment has been reached?"
 Mo-" Senator Hanna answered. T have heard that some of Markle's men have re- turned to work, but about all the nforma- ton have is what glean from the news papers,"
 It is reported, however that Senator Hanna is not only doing all in his power to end the strike, but that he almost suc- ceeded in averting it before it was ordered. His efforts would probably have been suc- cessful, but the interference of self-con- stituted committee upset his plans.
