UNION MUST BE RECOGNIZED.
NEW YORK. Sept. 29.-AnthracIte
coal was quoted 81 a ton cheaper today
than II was two days ago. This was
taken as an indication that the rail-
reads and others with stocks Of coal
on hand regard an early settlement OF
the miners strike as probable. The
railroad officials. however. refused to
say 10 what point the negotiations 10
this end had progressed. but It was
learned that the operators have prac-
tically agreed not 10 entirely ignore the
union in making a settlement. The pres
ent plan r. believed 20 be 20 place
concessions before the men at the dlf-
ferent collieries and ask them TO re-
turn 70 work pending the settlement
OF remaining differences by arbitra-
tion.
The extent to which the miners or
ganlzatlon IS TO be recognized is said
20 be that the men viii have the opera
tors terms placed before them az meet
lngs of the local unions.
According 20 Wall street news
agency there viii not be a uniform
rate Of Increase proposed throughout
the district. owing to the varying con-
diticns Of mining at different places.
but there viii be no advance Of less
than ten per cent on present wages.
Much interest was felt here in the
conference TO be held in Shenandoah
Pa. this aftern oon between General
Goblin. Sheriff Toole and representa-
tlves OF the operators and miners. II
was believed here the conference would
result In the immediate withdrawal OF
troops. whose presence IS known to be
very dlstasteful TO the union miners.
The railroad officials here expressed
the belief that with :he military out OF
the way Il would be easier to come to
an agreement with the strikers.
One of the sales agents OF the Le-
high Valley Coal Company said that
a few men had charge Of the plans for
a settlement OF the strike and until the
result ~ accomplished they viii not
discuss affairs.
The Evening Post says today:
while no final announcement Of the
ccal strike settlement is yet forthcom-
Ing there was today reliable author
lty for the statement that the matters
still under discussion are of detail
merely. and that satisfactory con-
clusion viii be reached in a short time,
1T is conceded everywhere In the
coal trade that the price OF coal after
the strike will never settle down to the
same level as before. More than ten
per cent increase in wages is believed
generally 10 be the concession the min
ers will demand. and this viii mean, ac-
cording 10 reliable estimates, an in
crease of fully 95 cents in the cost Of
every ton mined. This will make the
cost at the collisries about S9,75 a ton.
The consumer. Of course will pay the
difference, Moreover there will un-
ioubtedly be great demand for coal
as soon as the strike is over and,

From Washington
H ow a Little Boy Was saved,

Washington, D. &C When our
boy was about 16 months old he broke
out with rash which was thought to
be measles. In a few days he had a
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to be mumps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered 9
salve. He wanted to lance the sore,
but l would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about fom
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became a running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered a blood medicine. A
neighbor told me of a case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured BY
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I decided to
give it to my boy and in a short while
his health improved and his neck
healed SO nicely that / stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon l again
gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla and its
persistent use has accomplished a com
plete cure. do not think there will be
even a scar left. I cannot speak too
highly of Hoods Sarsaparilla and Tree
ommend it everywhere | geta chance"

" A complication of troubles, dys-
pepsia, chronic catarrh and infam-
nation Of the stomach, rheumatism,
ETC., made me miserable. Had no
appetite until l took Hoods Sarsapa-
riIla, which acted like magic. [ am
thoroughly cured" N. B. SEELEY,

If you have failed to get relief from
other remedies try Hoods Sarsapa-
rills. It cures when all others fail,
because it is Peculiar to Itself.

TO CONSIDER TRUSTS.
Minority Leader Sarcastic With Ref
erence to House Action.

Washington, May 31.-When the house
met today, Mr.. Dalzell, from the COM
mittee on rules, presented the special
order for the consideration of the anti
trust resolution and bill " hich he with
drew yesterday to allow the house to
dispose of pending private pension bills.
The rule was the same as that of here
tOfore prepared, except that it provided
for a vote on the amendment on Friday
and the bill on Saturday. Mr.. Dalzell
explained that the rule presented was
for the consideration of two measures
reported by the Judiciary committee, the
ment empowering congress to enact
legislation dealing with trusts and the
bill for the amendment of the Sherman
antitrust law.
Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader,
criticising the rule, declared that it was
framed to bring the house to a vote
on the resolution without opportunity
to amend it.
I'VE are confronted with a unique
situation" said he THE government
has been in the possession of the Re
publicans since March 4, 1897. 1t has
been supreme in all branches of the
government The first thing done was
to enact the Dingley lava law which
has done more to foster and propa agate
trusts than any other on the statute
books. During all the intervening time
nothing has been done to control trusts.
after a resolution has been passed fix
ing the day for final dissolution. the
Republican party brings in this anti
trust legislation. 1t is an effort to re-
coup for political effect The people
will not be fooled"

WHY Is rHIsp
Dickinson County Has Less People
Now Than a Year Ago.

Abilene. May S1.-The township as
SCISSORS of Dickinson have completed
their work and have made their returns
to the county clerk. These returns show
that Dickinson county has 1872 less peo-
pie this year than it had a year ago
The figures for the present year are H.
74S, against 1880 for last year.
Practically every town in the county
has lost with the exception of Abilene,
which has gained just one more than
the county as a whole has lost, 1873.
The greatest loss has been in Solomon,
where the decrease nearly offsets Abb
lene's increase. Solomon has lost 1S1.
Enterprise just holds her own.
The present population of the prin-
cipal towns of the county is as follows:
Abilene, 3,736; gain. 1873.
Harrington, 1, 753; loss, "a.
Enterprise, LOIS; same as last year.
Chapman, 706; loss, rs.
Solomon, SIS; loss, ISL.

aggregate loss of 343, while fourteen

Upon the occupation of Johannesburg,
Lord Roberts, it is said, will issue a proc

bles' regarding the intention OF the Brit
ish and announcing the terms of surren-
der which are the guaranteeing of i'm
munity to all non-combatants, and that
all burghers, excepting those who are ac-
lively connected with the promotion of
the war, directing its operations, COM
Wandering or looting, or other acts con-
trary to civilized war will be allowed to
return to their farms and remain unmo-
Tested on proving the surrender of their
arms and on taking an oath not to fight
again. Private property, it is added. win
be respected, providing British property
is not damaged. If British property is
wantonly destroyed, not only will the
actual perpetrators be severely punished
in person and property, but the authori-
ties permitting the damage will be held
responsible
All the inhabitants are urged to pre-
vent wanton damage. The principal en-
ployes of the big mining and commercial
concerns at Johannesburg are under or
ders. as this dispatch is sent, to be ready
to depart thence at an hours notice, but
the authorities are restricting the return
of the general public.
