STRIKE LEADERS ARE SUSPICIOUS Believe There is Movement to
 Break Up UniOn POWDER QUESTION THE WEDGE Almost Certain That the Men Will Not Return to Work Monday
 Situation Has Grown Ex-
 tremely Critical
POWDER QUESTION THE WEDGE

Wilkesbarre, Pa., October 19-The strike leaders here are growing suspicious that there is some kind of an agreement be- tween the coal companies by which they expect to break up the miners union. The offer of the Reading Company and the op- position to the same on the part of the other companies is something that labor leaders cannot understand. At the confer ence in Philadelphia on Wednesday the Lehigh Valley agreed to the same terms as the Reading, so far as their Lehigh col lieries were concerned, but the company re- fuses, so the strikers allege, to make the same concessions to their employees in the Wyoming district.
 The action of the Lackawanna Ontario and Western, the Pennsylvania Company and other large producers in combining with the Lehigh Valley on the powder question tends to confirm the views enter tained by the officers of the union that a concerted action is to be made by the com panies to get the better of the union and incite break in the ranks of the strikers.

Not Yet Settled

Scranton, Pa-, October 19.-It is a practi- cal certainty that he miners will not be back to work Monday, as was expected from the action of the Philadelphia confer ence of operator son Tuesday and Wednes- day and the Scranton conference yester- day.
 Some of the biggest of the local com panies are baking at the agreement 10 continue the 10 per cent offer in force until April 1901, as is demanded by the resolu- tion of the miners convention. They were all willing enough yesterday to amend their notices to conform to this demand, but today they seem to have undergone change of heart and only one operator of any prominence would say outright that he would make the modification. They say 1t would be humliatng for them to come with an amendment to their notices

More Notices Posted

Wilkesbarre, Pa., October 19.-The Lehigh Valley Coal and few other coal companies in the Lehigh aVlley posted notices at their colieries today, in which they invite their employees to return at work at 10 per cent increase in wages the same to hold good un- til April 1, 1901. Up to noon none of the post ing companies had received any applications for work.
 The stumbling block now Is the powder question. The operators insist on selling powder to the men for $1.50 keg, differ ence between this price and the old price of $2.75 keg to be taken into considera- tion In arranging the wage scale, 1t being understood that the men must receive 10 per cent increase no matter how much powder they use but it must not exceed 10 per cent. The miners say the proposition Is too complicated and not easily inter- preted properly. The companies claim noth- ing could be fairer. The miner gets 10 per cent increase, and 1t Is imma terial to him whether Nhe gets 1t through the reduction of powder or otherwise.
 At strikers headquarters the impression prevails that another convention of miners will have to be called to settle the difficulty
 Cambridge Colliery Resumes
 Shenandoah, Pa., October 19.-The Cam bridge colliery resumed operations today under a promise to the employees that the 10 per cent advance will be granted and the sliding scale abolished.

BUSINESS OF KANSAS BANKS.
Kansas Loans May All DO Made From

Kansas Loans May All be Made From
Kansas Money.
Topeka, Nov. 19.-At a meeting here
of a section of the Kansas Bankers as
ISOLATION a report was read which
shows that at the beginning of the
year there was deposited in Kansas
banks $50, 800, 761.72, while now the de-
posits amount to 500, s25, 4s0.13. At the
beginning of the year the cash and
sight exchange amounted to $50, $685.
s67.61 and now is S32, 1857, $685. SO. The
surplus at the beginning of the year
was $40, 5s9, 170 1s, now SIS, 492, $50. 81.
Loans and discounts have decreased
from S47, 200, 935.32 to Si6,4l9, 579.43
The amount the banks had borrowed
at the beginning of the year was $685.
379. 97, while now they have only $911,-
1870 borrowed.
A practice among Kansas bankers
now followed does away with the bor-
rowing of money from outside the
state. Bankers who have money to
loan keep committee informed of the
fact, as also do bankers who have a
surplus of applications for loans. BY
this means all the loans made by Kan
sas bankers are kept at home.

ANGLICAN ERlCAN TREATY.
A Large Number of Important Issues
to DO Settled.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Steps have
been taken for resuming the important
work of the Anglo-American commits
sion, made up of representatives of the
United States, Great Britain and
Canada.
The questions before the commission
are of long standing, and include the
establishment of the boundary between
Alaska and British Columbia; the issues
over Boring Sea and the catch of fur
seals; the unmarked boundary between
Canada and the United States near
Passamaquoddy Bay in Maine and at
points between Maine and Minnesota
and Canada; the northwest fisheries
question, involving the right of fishing
in the North Atlantic off Newfound-
land and other points; the regulation
of fishing rights on the great lakes;
alien labor immigration across the
Canadian-American border; commercial
reciprocity between the two countries;
the regulation of the bonding system
by which rules are carried in bond
across the frontier and also the regu-
lation of traffic by international rail
ways and canals of the two countries;
reciprocal mining grants in the Klon-
dixie British North America and north
points; wrecking and salvage on the
ocean and great lakes in coasting
waters; and the modification of the
treaty arrangements under which only
one war vessel can be maintained on
the Great Lakes; with view of allow
ing warships to be built on the lakes
and then foated out to the ocean.
Progress has been made on some of
these questions, and practical agree
ment reached in several of them. But
in each case, the settlement was de-
pendent on disposal of all of Them.

John PORTER BURNED ALIVE.
Father Of Murdered Girl Decided
Manner OF Execution.
HE LIVED TWENTY MINUTES.

Limon, Colo, Nov. 19.-Chained to
railroad rail sc firmly in the ground,
on the exact spot where his fiendish
crime was committed, Preston Porter,
Jr., or, as he was familiarly known,
John Porter, pa terrible penalty for
his deed. The father of the murdered
girl touched the match to the fuel
which had been piled around the
negro, and twenty minutes after last
convulsive shudder told that life was
extinct.
The executioners who numbered
about 300 citizens of Lincoln county,
had not the least semblance of the
of the ordinary mob. Their every act
was deliberate, and during all the
preparations, as well as throughout
the sufferings of the negro, hardly an
unnecessary word was spoken.
Limon, Colo, Nov. 10.ANotices were
posted warning negroes of bad charac-
ters to leave Lincoln and Ebert coun-
ties and declaring if they do not go
they will be escorted across the border
Officials of the Union Pacific and Rock
Island roads have also been petitioned
to remove from these counties all the
imported colored men. This action is
taken in pursuance of resolutions
adopted at the mass meeting of citizens
at which an organization was effected
for the purpose of lynching John
Porter.
John Porter was taken from the
train which was taking him to Hugo,
the county seat, the sheriff being pow
erless to resist.
1t was at first announced that the
negro was to be executed by hanging
Many. including tie father OF the
negroes victim, protested that such a
death would be too easy, and it was
finally decided to leave the method OF
death to the outraged father. He
decided upon burning at the stake.

Only One Deficiency.

Topeka, Nov. 15.-The legislature at
its coming session will have but one de-
ficiency to wrestle with. The legisla-
ture of 1899 had to make good deficien-
cies aggregating $4,000. There is
one little deficiency of $500 to meet. 1t
is due Major Calvin Hood, of Emporia,
who advanced that amount to the live
stock sanitary board to pay the salaries
of inspectors one month. The board
was out of money, it was absolutely
necessary to inspect incoming cattle
for the protection of native cattle
against Texas fever and Major Hood
advanced the money.

a flat near the war Office for one year
