SHE WAS A PHANTOM OF pELlch-

She was phantom Of delight
When first she CLEANED upon my sight:
lovely apparition sent
To be a moments ornament;
Her eyes as stars OF twilight fair,
Like twiliGht's, too, her dusky hair,
But all things else about her drawn
From May time and the cheerful dawn:
dancing shape and image gay
To haunt. TO startle and waylay.
! saw her upon nearer view,
spirit. yet a woman tooi
Her household notions light and free
And steps Of virgin liberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food;
For transient sorrows. simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles
And now | see with eyes serene
The very pulse Of the machine,
being breathing thoughtful breath,
A tray'ler between life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate WILL
Endurance, foresight, strength and skill;
perfect woman, nobly planned
To warm To comfort and command,
And yet a spirit still and bright
With something of angelic light.

NO OFFER TO THE MEN AS YET.
Mitchell Says More Workers Are Out Now
Than Ever.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PreSS.)
HaZleton, Pa, Sept. GIVE are clos
ng the mines and awaiting develop
%nents." was all that President Mitchell.
f the United Mine Workers would say to-
light when asked whether he had re-
,eived any information from New York
n elsewhere as to what the operators
IRE doing in their efforts to settle the
,oal strike. Although he had diplomatic
ally evaded the question there is a
strong belief here that Mr.. Mitchell is
1ept fully advised of the progress Of
vents in the metropolis.
If the reported advance of 10 per cent.
as been finally agreed upon it has not,
20 far as can be learned. been offered to
ny of the mine workers in the anthracite
'egiOn.
President Mitchell, speaking on the gen
,ral situation from the strikers point of
view, said:
The newspaper reports that the
operators have conceded an advance of
10 per cent. has aroused great interest
in the ranks of the strikers. The people
are standing united awaiting authentic
information from the officials of the or
ganiZatiOn. There are more men idle
today than at any time since the strike
was ~inaugurated, and l have every reason
to believe that the tie up will soon be
complete. About 1874, 900 men are now on
strike"

ALL ANXIOUS TO END IT
But a Basis For a Settlement Seems
Difficult to Reach.
BOTH SIDES READY FOR CONCESSIONS
A Conference Of Operators at Which Mine Fore
man Were Present Was Held at Wilkes
barre Last Night But Without
Definite Results.
(By the Associated PreSs.)


Philadelphia, Sept. 29.-Late develop
ments tonight show that the efforts to
bring about a hurried settlement of the
big coal miners strike are still in a
chaotic condition. While there is every
surface evidence of honest intention on
the part of the mine owners and operators
to grant the more important demands of
the mine workers., the difficulties in de-
tail, in reaching the basis Of a settlement
grow more confusing. At a conference
tonight at Wilkesbarre. an important
residential point of mining railroad super
intendents and big individual mine opera
tors, mine foremen were called in to take
Dart in the discussion. The foremen were
questioned relative to the charge for
powder, dockage, ETC., indicating that the
owners were ~endeavoring to reach a COM
mon ground where justice would be found
for. each side. So far as can be learned
10 definite conclusion was reached.
The general opinion among those in a
position to comprehend the differences is
that the settlement Of the strike is yet
remote. All interests involved, however,
seem to be willing to reach an early set
cement, and concessions, it is under
stood, will be readily accorded by both
sides in the controversy.
The strike leaders are cautious in their
movements, but so far as can be learned
have not taken the ground that trickery
was being played, a c~autionary notice on
which point they had previously sent to
all the strikers.
1t has apparently settled itself down to
Town to a common sense discussion of IT,
differences.

TO WITHDRAW THE TROOPS.
Goblin Thinks Their Presence Unnecessary
One Regiment Moves Monday.
nv the Associated Press

Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 29.-The oniy
incident of any Importance here today was
the conference between General Gobln,
Sheriff Toole and representatives OF mine
oDeratives relative to the withdrawal OF
the troops. The meeting was held at the
solicitation of General Goblin. who said
he did not believe the presence OF the
troops necessary, since there is abso-
lutely no Indication of violence on the
strikers part; with the additional fact
that this district is completely tied UP.
The operators were undecided as to
whether the troops should be ordered
home or kept here several days longer.
They finally agreed that Sheriff Toole
was the proper person to decide that
question. The sheriff was unwilling to
assume the responsibility. and told the
Associated Press correspondent that the
matter was in the hands of General
Goblin. The General said there was no
necessity for keeping such a large body
of troops here, and that he had decided
to send one regiment away on Monday
He said tonight that the Twelfth Reg1-
ment would probably be the first to de-
part, though he could not say positively
before tomorrow.

That the steady and rapid increase
shown by these comparisons anords a
strong justification of the action OF the
defendant commission in raising the as
sessment in question. and shows that the
compliments railroad properties are SUN
assessed at far below their true Value.
That in assessing the rolling STOCK anu
other personal property returned by the
complainant the defendant commission
adopted the valuation placed upon the said
rolling stock by the complainant, winch
was much less than it's true value. That
in the light of the Investigations Whlcn
have been made by the defendant com
mission since the assessment by them OF
1899. as to methods and bases of valua-
ton of railroad properties in other States,
and aDDroyed by courts of last resort,
the properties returned by the complain
ant for taxation have been assessed at a
lower proportion of their true value than
the proportion thereof, at which it is
claimed by the complainant that all other
properties in the State have been asses
sed for taxation.
That even if property in the State other
than railroad property has been assessed
at less than it's true value as. and in the
proportion of it's true value, alleged by
the complainant, which is denied by de-
PENDANTS, there has been no discrimlna-
ton by the defendant Corporation Com

it is a fact that railroad property has
been assessed at a less proportion OF Its

value at which the complainant alleges
and contends all the other property II

(By the Associated Press.)
New York, Sept. 29.-The Evening Post
says today:
"While no final announcement of the
coal strike settlement is yet forthcom-
ng there was today reliable authority for
he statement that the matters still under
discussion are of detail merely. and that
| satisfactory conclusion will be reached
n a short time.
cit is conceded everywhere in the coal
rade that the price of coal after the
strike will never settle down to the
same level as before. More than 10 per
;ent. increase in wages is generally be-
ieved to be the concession the miners
will demand. and this will mean, accord
ng to reliable estimates. an increase Of
'ully 25c. in the cost Of every ton mined
This VIII make the cost at the collieries
about S2.75 a ton. The consumer, of
curse, will pay this difference"
According to the Evening Post, a coal
operator said today that the railroad
residents nave submitted the terms for
i settlement to the mine superintendent
o learn whether the mines could be
operated profitably under them. The
POSTS informant thinks President Nit
hell will get around the difficulty caused
~ the non-recognitiOn of the union in
his way: The proposition, the 10 per
;ent. increase in wages or whatever it
nay be, will be submitted separately to
ach chapter Of the mine worker union.
When a charter votes to accept it and
,otifies President Mitchell of it's action
e will endorse it on the ground that the
