ton and the leaders have declared a

ply "drifted along with the crowd. -
The miners are not talkative. To a
great extent they are honest, straight
forward men of foreign birth. There
is no indication of any undue toll and
hardship. And it is an absolute fact
that the scale of wages earned by the
men runs from $33 per month to $5S
In some instances miners earn $50. The
average wage is $4S. 80 per month.
The miners do not pay the retail prices
for the goods they buy. There are CO.
operative stores were prices are con-
siderably less than in large cities.
AS rule the wives of the miners are
against the strike. They, too, are very
reserved and will not consent to talk
with strangers
Judging from the mountains of coal
seen along the line of road between
here and Philadelphia there is no i'm
mediate coal famine imminent. But
the large jobbers and wholesalers who
carry immense stocks of black dia-
monds will undoubtedly make spec
ulation over existing conditions.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Sept. 27.-The
closing of the Cambridge colliery, oper-
ated by the Cambridge Coal company,
completed the tieup in the vicinity of
this borough. This is small colliery,
employing about 40 men, and was the
only one working between Hazleton
and Ashland. D. r. James, a member
Of the firm, notified the provost mar
shall that the strikers had intimidated
the men and that the company decided
to suspend operations to ensure the
safety of the employees Mr.. James
told Major Miller that strikers had en-
tered the homes of Cambridge en-
ployes at night and threatened them
with bodily harm if they continued to
work. Brookwood washery, on the
Mahanoy plane, was working with
full force during the morning when
number of strikers visited the place and
induced the men to return to their
homes. The strikers did not resort to
violence.

Various Propositions for Ar
bitration Put Forth by
Outsiders.
A NOTEWORTHY FEATURE
Considering the Number Out
but Little Disorder Has
Occurred.
State Troops at Shenandoah
So Far Have Not Been
Called On.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27.-This Is
the 18th day of the miners strike and
as yet there is no indication of surren-
der or concession on either side. In
fact no overtures looking to settle
ment of the differences have been made
by either the strike leaders or the mine
operators. Various propositions for
settlement by arbitration have been put
forward by persons not directly con-
nected with the mining business, but
thus far practically no progress has
been made in this direction.
A most noteworthy feature Of the
strike is the remarkable good behavior
Of the strikers up to this time, espe-
cially when it is considered that the
claim is made that upwards of 100000
mine workers are idle in the anthracite
region. There have, of course, been a
few disturbances, but none of charac-
ter at all serious with the exception of
the one at Shenandoah on Friday last,
when a striker was killed during a
clash between a number of strikers and
o sheriff's posse. Affairs are
Quiet Throughout the Region.
A shooting ARRAY occurred near Scran-
ton, in which three men were wounded,
but the participants, who were Ital-
fans, were all strikers and the ARRAY
had no direct connection with the pres
emit strike.
At a meeting of some $50 or more
employees of Markle & Co., the pro-
prietors of colliery operated independ-
emit of the coal carrying railroads, it
was decided to accept the frm's offer to
arbitrate their differences pending
which they would return to work. The
strike leaders, however, declare that
many of Markle's men will refuse to
enter the mine and say majority eff
the employees are dissatisfied with the
firms decision as to their bill of
grievances.
Some few miners are working in the
Lehigh region, but in the Wyoming and
Lackawanna regions mining is almost
at a standstill
The state troops still remain in
Schuylkill county, rendezvoused in and
about Shenandoah, but as yet their
services have not been called upon for
the suppression of disorder.

IL miles south of Manila, the scene of
the fighting last October. 1t is esti.
mated the rebels numbered 400, and
they were armed with rifles. The in
habitants took refuge in the churches.
The Americans have since dispersed the
insurgents, killing and wounding 30
A party of scouts belonging to the
Twentieth United States infantry,
landed on the island of Samar, the in
habitants and insurgents fleeing to the
mountains. They met with but slight
resistance and burned town. Wednes-
day night there was outpost firing at
Pact, Pagansjan and Santa Cruz in
Laguna province.
1t is reported that an American scout
ing party discovered a body of insur-
gents in the province of Neuva Ece-
jena, two skirmishes ensuing in which
IL of the natives were killed. Similar
brushes have taken place near Indang
and Slang. in Cavite province, and
near Iba and Subig, in Zambeles prov
ince, the Americans having two killed
and three wounded.
Advices from the island of Leyte say
that General Mocaja's bands have been
scattered and demoralized by Major
Henry T. Allen of the Forty-third in
fantry, who has vigorously pursued the
insurgents in the mountains, capturing
many and taking a quantity of money,
rifles, ammunition and stores.

Governor Stone VIII Not Send Troops to
Hazelton at Present.
HAzELToN, Pa, Sept. 27.-The re-
quest made by Sheriff Harvey for troops,
although not refused, was not granted
by Governor Stone. The Sheriff and
the state officials in Harrisburg, how
ever, have an understanding between
them and if the necessity arises SOL
2iers will be thrown into this region in
short order. IF this be done the first to
arrive would probably be one of the
commands now stationed at Shenan-
doah. The sheriff had long talk with
Adjutant General Stewart over the
telephone and they agreed that in view
of the calmness now prevailing
throughout the Lehigh valley it would
be inadvisable to send an armed force
here at this time.

WHEAT INSPECTION.
Some Curious Features Developed Under
Fusion Reform.

Inspector Reishus insists that the
inspection of Minnesota grain at the
terminal points is properly and thor
oughly done, and that the grain is
inspected in and inspected out upon a
SYST EN- that is accurate and uniform.
If that is the case we would like to
have one more explanation from
Mr. Reishus to account for the vari-
alton and huctuation in the grades
found by the buyers at Minneapolis
1t is easy enough for Mr.. Reishus to
say that the elevator men mix the
grain at Buffalo, but it isn't mixed
between the country elevator and the
Minneapolis buyer.
The Daily Market Record of Mime
apolis is an official publication and from
it we quote few sample sales to il
lustrate the point involved. These
quotations are from an issue of that
paper and can be readily verified.
They will be found on page 6 of the
Record of Feb. 10:
SO cars No. northern. ...........654
cars No. northern, choice. .....67
2 cars No 2 northern, choice. .674
30 cars No. 2 northern. ..65
119 cars No. 2 northern. "a
Here we have six sample lots, show
ing that No. northern is selling for
only quarter of a cent more than
that which the inspectors have graded
rejected on account of smut; two
cars of No. 2 northern, choice, selling
for IL cents more than No north
ern and quarter of cent more than
No. 1 northern, choice; 3 cars of "re
jected smutty'' selling for only quar-
ter of cent less than No. 1 northern.
1t requires, as Mr.. Reishus would
say, "only horse sense" to understand
the situation. though it does not in
volve the corelative of sympathy
with the administration. - The buyers
of this city simply ignore the inspec-
ton and buy ON sample only. The
buyer who took "three cars of rejected
smutty. " at 6515 cents got ~ points
better grain than the ''119 cars No.
2 northern that he or someone else
had bought for GA cents These prices,
be it understood, do not repre- MT
fiuctuation in the market, but merely
a variation in the grade. The grain
was bought by sample, and, if the in
spectiOn had been accurate and uni
form, the variation in price would
have run steadily down from No. 1
northern to rejected. AS it is, the
buyer does his own inspecting and
when he comes to compare the grain
itself with the grade given by some
lunkhead of an inspector it is with
this ludicrous result. There has
been some more mixing in the
grain business, and this time
it is not in Buffalo. The chief in
spector should disentangle himself
and us know how it is.

Many Coal Miners Strike Against Their
Desire and Better Judgment.

The correspondent of the st. Paul
Dispatch in writing from Wilkesbarre,

= In this portion of the mining district
it certainly looks as if a majority of
the miners were not in sympathy with
the strike.
They have been reluctantly forced
into it through their fealty to the
miners unions, and through the fear
that they will be regarded as towards
if they should refuse to go out. In
other words hundreds of miners would
prefer to remain at work, but mas
