% End The S1ike
THE END IN SIGHT.
Mitchell Calls a Convention of Miners to be
Held at Scranton.


Hazelton, Pa, Oct. Sat 10 o'clock
this morning President Mitchell called a
convention of representatives. of all tine
mine unions TO be held at Scranton next
Friday Mitchell says he will take no
steps until the miners have all spoken
and that there must be no agreement un
til all the operators shall have agreed 10
the 10 per cent raise. The convention
is to consider the 10 per cent offer of the
Reading and other companies. and the
fact that Mitchell has issued the call
for the convention leads to the belief
that J Pierpont Morgan has been able
10 secure the signatures of all the oper
ators to the proposed new scale. The
feeling is general that the mines will be
in tull blast next Monday.

Representatives Of Judge Boughton

nett Of Greeley, for judge, and Guy d.
Duncan, OF Boulder, for district attorney
Arrived at the capital, it was found that
nothing definite had been unanimously
agreed upon at the conference of the
vacancy com mittee in this city last week
and so the entire subject was threshed
over again. Finding they were unable
to agree, it was decided to leave the
naming of the ticket absolutely and
finally to Governor Thomas, Thomas NJ.
Patterson and Senator Teller. These
gentlemen were not in Denver at the
time, but were expected to return from
stumplng tours daily and the various in
terests hoped they would undertake the
thankless task and place before the peo
pie of this district some sort of ticket.
1t is certainly to the credit OF all the
parties involved that the matter has been
submitted 10 arbitration and the silver
forces must be content with any action
taken by these distinguished and dlsin-
terested gentlemen.
