GO ON A SYMPATHY STRIKE
BROOD MOUNTAIN MINERS HADNO GREVANCE-STRKE SPREAD
ING IN EVERY DIRECTION NO TROUBLE.

Pottsville, Pa, Sept. 26.-The strike
leaders are now turning their attention
to the collieries south of Broad Noun
tain. Many of the miners of this district
are close to this city and it is these col
lieries that produce most of the coal
mined in the SchuySill regions. Natur-
ally this district becomes central against
mine owners.
North of Broad Mountain few miners
were working. In the Mahoney Valley
not a colliery is in operation. The
miners who today and yesterday ex-
pected to go to work are now turning
and say they are not at all in a hurry
to go back to the mines. The pleadings
and arguments of the strike leaders have
had their effect. The fact is the ;Schuy-
kill regions is one of strike simple ana
pure. They have no grievance and SUI

RUSSIAN REPRISALS.
BURNING VILLAGES AND DE-
STROYING TEMPLES,
Wild Rumors Of Every Kind as to
Chinese Affairs-English
Election Gossip.

New York, Sept. ga dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The rumon mongers are still at work
on the cabinet while the canvass is in
progress. Lord Lansdowne hau long
interview with Lord Salisbury before the
diplomatic reception, and as it is, was
the second time within week that they
have been closeted together, the polit-
ical gossips were convinced that they
themselves were on the right scent in
determining successor to the foreign
office.
There Is at least strong probability
that Lord Salisbury in leaving the for
eign office will desire to find locum
tenetem who will consult him at every
turn Of affairs, and the personal rela-
tions between him and Lord Lansdowne
suggests this selection of substitute.
Dispatches from the far east present
an astonishing medley of contradictory
reports. The empress and Prince Tuan
are reported to be in full flight and also
to be raising armies and preparing to
capture Pekin. Ii Hung Chang is pro-
posing a peace offering to the powers by
hunting down Boxers and cutting off
the heads of the leaders, Additions are
constantly made to the lists of massacred
missionaries, and fresh details of the
maneuvers Of the allied forces are tele-
graphed.
The empress is alternately coaxing
and intimidating the allies by displaying
zeal In Furnishing the Boxers with the
death penalty at an hours notice, and
displacing officials distrusted by the con-
suls and preparing to resume military
operations against the invaders, while
the powers are conducting negotiations
over moves for position.
Russia has been adopting a system of
stern reprisals in occupying Manchuri,
burning villages, destroying temples and
slaughtering the Manchus along the
banks of the Amoor river There have
been no contradictions Of the reports of
these ruthless massacres by which the
occupation of a large province of China
has been secured.

FAVOR GERMAN PROPOSALS.
Italy and Austria Heartily in Favor
Of the Plan. , ~

Paris, Sept. 26.-It is asserted from ex-
cellent diplomatic sources that Italy and
Austria are the only powers which have
replied favorably and Internationally
to Germany's note. It is certainly a
fact that the replies of Russia and
punishment of the originators Of the
anti-fOreign assault but not making their
surrender an absolute of peace prelim-
inaries. Japan takes "a middle course,
leaning a little more strongly towards
Germany, while Great Britain declines.
A powerful argument used against
Germany's position was it's establishment
of the precedent that would permit the
powers in future wars to demand per-
sonages considered by them to be guilty
leaders, and their punishment before
peace negotiations are undertaken.

HOWARD IS GIVEN
DEATH SENTENCE.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 26.-The jury in
the case Of James Howard on trial for al
legged completely in the Goebel assa assina-
ton, this morning rendered verdict of
guilty, with the penalty fixed at death.
The jury retired at 9:10 and returned
with it's verdict at 9:43. The court room
was crowded with spectators almost
trembling with suppressed excitement.
Foreman Crutcher of the jury, passed the
written verdict up to the clerk and it
was read by Deputy Clerk Elliott.
Howard did not display the least an
xiety and apparently was unconcerned.
The verdict was a surprise as the gen.
eral public was lead to believe that the
jury was divided on the question of guilt
or innocence of the defendant.
One Of the Jurors stated to the Associ-
ated Press that number of ballots We're
taken. but the first ballot resulted in an
unanimous vote in favor of verdict Of
guilty. After that the ballots yesterday
were as to the degree of punishment. Ten
members voted for the death penalty,
while two voted for life Imprisonment.
The first ballot to-day resulted in a ver-
diet, the two Jurors who had voted for
life imprisonment giving in to the major
Hy and voting for the death penalty. Af-
ter the verdict had been rendered, How
ard was remanded to Jail, where he was
followed by his bosom friend, John G.
White, who seemed almost paralyzed by
the verdict. Howard's cheeks also
blanched as he stood up to accompany
the jailer back to his cell. the Jury
consisted of nine democrats, one repub-
Ican and two anti Goebel democrats

soldiers are still encamped on the hills

KENYON-CONNELL COMPANY DISS0L YES

The Kenyon-Connell Commercial COM

declare the, strike is almost sure to in
clude several thousand men at work
south of Broad Mountain.
In the Panther Valley the Lehigh
Coal & Navigation company has about
1000 men at work and in all probability
these will strike. AT the extreme end Of
the Schuykill region adjoining Daugh-
lin county where are located the Likens
Valley coal companies mines, are coll
lieries which ship daily 800 cars of coal.
These collieries are the Brookside.
George Brigson and Lincoln, and it is
asserted that these men are thoroughly
satisfied.
In number of cities adjacent to this
coal region, notably Reading, the coal
supply is getting low and many families
have been unable to purchase even small
quantities. 1t seems an extraordinary
state of things for the section of the
country where ordinarily, tons of coal
can be picked up along the railroad.
