CONFERENCE OF
STRIKE LEADERS

HaZelton, Pa, Oct. IA conference
which is believed to mark the begin
ming of the end of the anthracite coal
miners strike, which enters upon its
fourth week tomorrow, was held at the
headquarters of the United Mine
Workers here this afternoon. Those
present besides President Mitchell.
were Fred Dilcher of Ohio, member
of the executive board, and Presidents
II. ID. Nichols of District No. /, Lack
awanna and Wyoming valleys; James
Duffy, District No. I. Lchigh valley:
John Fahey, District No. 8, Schuykill
valley.
Although no information was given
out, it is known that the question of
issuing n call for Il joint convention
vas the prlncil al matter discussed. The
'oming convention will be held mt
Scranton unless something unforeseen
should arise between now and the time
# the issuing of the call. Besides TAX
ng up the matter of Il convention, 1t
is understood that the question of rep
rcsenation was also considered. The
three district presidents made full re.
ports rs to the conditions as they now
exist in the respective districts.
President Mitchell, after the confer
cnce. said he would have something to
say tomorrow in regard to the conven-
ton. If the date has been fixed, only
Mr.. Mitchell and his colleagues know
1t.
OF course. the principal matter to
come before the miners will be the ac-
ceptance or rejection of the ten per
cent. increase offered by most of the
operators. President Mitchell said to-
day that not one official of the mine
workers will take hand in any action
the convention might take, as the
men must themselves settle everything
that comes before them. The belief Is
general that the miners will accept the
increase.
Most of the mine owners who have
granted the wage concession do not
specify in their notices how long the
advance shall remain In iorce, and 1t
Is not unlikely that an attempt will be
made by the miners In convention to
open negotiations looking to n conces-
sion In the matter. President Mitchell
and the other leaders are strong advo-
Gates of an annual wage scheme, sim
liar to that I'm force in the bituminous
coal fields. If this proposition and that
relating to the abolition of the slid
ing scale are brought before the con-
vention. and the negotiations with the
mine operators are opened, 1t might
considerably delay the settlement OF
the strike.

MORE AID NEEDED
All GALVESTON

Galveston, Oct. Miss Clara Bar
ton, president of the National Red
Cross society," to-day issued a statement
to the manufacturers and business
men of the country, in which she ap-
pealS to them for aid in the way of ma
terial to be used in the building of
homes for those who lost their all in
the recent storm. 1t is addressed:
ITO the manufacturers and dealers in
lumber, hardware. builders materials
and household goods. and to business
men in general of the United States,
and says:
I'VE believe it is reliably stated that
there is not one house in the area of
the storm undamaged by it. A large
proportion of these persons formerly
occupying them are entirely without
homes or even shelter. save such per-
sons as nearly as destitute as them
selves can offer them temporarily, to
their great Inconvenience and cost.
The number of this homeless class
is estimated at 5000 or more. Winter
is less than two months away. AL.
though n mild climate still snow and
ice are known here. If tents would
protect, which they will not. the sea
sand and the quicksand would not hold
them down; the first norther would
leave their occupants as unsheltered as
before; and hardships, colds. pneu-
monia and consumption would find
what the storm has left.
Some substantial shelter must be
had at once for these people.
The havoc wrought by the storm III
Galveston at once was much larger in
loss of life and property than at Johns
town. but the donations in money so
far have aggregated one third less for
botn the city and mainland than was
given at Johnstown.
'While the bountiful Outpouring of
the peoples generosity has enabled the
general relief committee and the Red
Cross TO feed the hungry, clothe the
naked, and render the streets of Gal
weston partially passable, nothing has
as yet been done toward relnstating the
impoverished survivors in houses where
they can escape disease and enjoy the
slight measure of the comforts Of
which tie storm deprived them.

OFFERED A REV ARD
FOR SOLDIERS EARS

New York. Oct. 1Q-Out of the Phil
ippines has come Il tale of II maddened
fathers revenge for the death of his son,
which reads like the barbaric stories
of the days of Morgan and his buc-
cancers. The story is brought back by
Sergeants Ross /. Barton and John
Zimmerman of the Forty seventh vol
unteer infantry. who recently returned
to their homes in Whitestone Long Isl
and.
According to their narrative, while
their regiment was fighting with the
Filipinos mt Albay, Sergeant Fowler,
also of Whitestone. shot and killed n
handsome young Filipino lieutenant
named Marcus. and captured his
sword
Lieutenant Marcus was Il son of Mar
celine Marcus. n wealthy Filipino. who
is known all over the island. and who
had hitherto been friendly to the Amer
leans, although his son bitterly opposed
them.
His sons death. however. rolISed the
old man to a pitch of the greatest fury,
and he swore that he would spend ev-
cry dollar that he owned to revenge his
boy, despite the fact that his boy was
killed in fair fight.
Marccline Marcus accordingly raised
n troop of 1900 native followers and
offered n reward of 500 for every left
ear of the men of the Forty-seventh
regiment. This offer mt once brought
forth fruit.
Every American thereafter killed
would have his left ear missing. Many
Chinese and light colored Filipinos al
so lost their left ears.
Marcus is now said to he treasurine
string Of over 100 ears, not more than
five of which has been cut from mem
bers of the Forty-seventh regiment.

Prospective Camp Bird Sale.

The Mining Reporter makes the fol-

accompanied with equally elaborate
maps. have gone forward to London.
These represent the Camp Bird as Il
very astonishing bonanza. capable of
yielding an extraordinary amount of
ore of a high grade The calculations
were made upon the basis of Il large
number of samples taken along all the
openings and galleries shown on the
map. Upon the strength of this n syn
dicate was formed in New York and
London to buy the mine mt S6.oO0.OOO.
OF this amount S4.5OO.O0O was sub
scribed by four large financial firms.
and the balance was taken in smaller
amounts by n number of individual
capitalists.
This syndicate (who have not yet
fully laid for the mine) have offered 1t
to the public in London through the
Venture company ut S13.000.000; and
the whole issue of shares has been over
subscribed so that the promoting syn
dicate have 100 per cent. profit at hand.
However, the Venture company. before
accepting the subscriptions to the
stock, sent Mr.. John Hays Hammond
to examine the mine. and he has ad-
vised his principals that it would not
be safe for them to become sponsors for
this property to the public to the eX-
tent of Sl3.000,O00 until certain work
had been done at the mine which
would require between thirty and forty
days. This consists in the raising and
sinking of several winZeS between GER
tain levels. Very fine showings of ore
are to be found in these levels. and it
has been assumed that all the ground
between them was equally good. Mr.
Hammond has pointed out the fact
that such an assumption is not bust

French Look for Settlement.

Paris. Oct. 9.-Thc officials of the
French foreign office are elated over
the reception which Frances note has
secured in Europe apd they are very
hopeful and sanguinc That il will re-
suit in a common understanding which
will permit of early peace negotiations.
France, however, has not yet received
the formal reply of any power. but the
verbal statements mad. by the various
ambassadors on the presentation Of the
note lead the government to believe 1t
will be accepted everywhere except in
Great Britain and the United States.
These powers agree to certain features
while objecting to others, but do not
take n stand which is inimical, gener-
ally to the proposition of NJ. Delcasse.
The Temps account of the cabinet
council says NJ Delcasse submitted
dispatches from the French representa-
tives abroad. showing the negotiations
with the powers are continuing under
