will be nothing less than what will be fully
satisfactory to the miners. This conf
dence Is heightened by q generally credited
story that the delay in issuing the strike
order was to give President Mitchell time
to interest Senator Hanna in the efforts at
effecting a settlement. Nothing would be
given out by the local operators as TO what
transpired at the Wilkesbarre conference
to-day further than that they discussed
the proposed settlement. Action on their
part is not called for, they say. and IL they

The strikers here are jubilant over the
new turn in affairs, and will gladly second
any reasonable concessions by way OF con-
citation. John Jermyn was the only OPP
orator found willing to be quoted In the
settlement matter. He said 1t was Mark
Hanna who was engineering the settlement.

DENTISTS POISONED.
Ate Canned Salmon at a Delta Sigma
Delta Fraternity Banquet.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-Twelve out of twen-
ty-four members of the Delta Sigma Delta
fraternity were poisoned by food eaten at
a banquet last night. Canned salmon is
thought to be the cause of the ptomaine
poisoning. Although some of the men are
still in a serious condition, it is not thought
any of the cases will prove fatal. All
afflicted are dentists Their names are:
DR.. j. Z. w. Sloacker, DR.. George West,
DR.. George Haskins, DIR. Z. H. Sim, DIR.
l.. Leland Green, DR.. l.. S. Tenny, DIR.
Rudolph Beck. DR.. A. G. Johnson, DIR. John
Nyman, DR.. Brom Allen, DIR. p. j. Hester
and DIR. c. Bacon. Several other dentists
who attended the banquet have not APP
peared at their offices.
Commissioner Reynolds, of the Board of
Health, will secure samples of the food
eaten for a chemical analysis. The salmon
was obtained out of town, and ii is be-
lieved to be a lot from a burned cold
storage plant at st. Paul that was sus-
pected. The health department has been
trying to keep it out of Chicago.

Anthracite Coat Operator Thinks the
Strike VIII BE Settled.

StEAkC II 'S ettAC0.
NEW YORK. Sept. 2S.-The Herald to-
morrow will say: lone of the men who has
participated in the plans for the settlement
Of the anthracite coal miners strike and is
familiar with all the facts and attendant
circumstances. said in an interview last
Friday) night: The rumor that negotia-
tions looking to the settlement of the strike
are off are untrue. My belief is that the
strike will come to an end some time early
next week. 1t will not be ended by a blare
of trumpets or by sweeping general orders,
but by men quietly going to work into col
liery after colliery, day after day, at the
IL per cent. advance. There is no inclina-
ton to recognize Mitchell in any way, but
as a matter of fact the miners really de-
serve the 10 per cent. advance and they
probably would have obtained it any how
when the question first came up, If so
many of the members of the different
boards of directors of the mining COM
panies had not been away on their vaca-
TONS"
Prices for anthracite coal in this city
have to-day dropped so and 20 cents per
ton, indicating that the end is in sight and
the rush of the retailers to buy from the
wholesalers is almost entirely stopped.

CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PA


cite would be to the advantage of the
bituminous. The conference was asked to
examine into the cost OF mining coal and
see If there could not be a saving made
somewhere in operating expenses.
1t is rumored that the representatives Of
the Lackawanna Company, after going
over the operating expenses OF their mines
in this district, were OF opinion that they
could stand the increase. Another operator
said the Lackawanna Company was in a
more favored position than some of the
other companies. 1t still had vast tracts of
virgin coal lands, and it's operating ex-
penses are not as great as some of the
other companies.
From what can be learned the operators
were not opposed TO granting a reduction in
the price of powder but there was a
and-out recognition of the miners union.
A stenographic report of the meeting was
dispatched to New York in charge Of a
special messenger.
The officers of the United Mine Workers
here say no agreement which
leaves the union out will be acceptable to
the strikers, and President Mitchell. in a
message to the miners OF the union in this
region warns them against entering into
any negotiations with individual compa-
MES. Some of the leaders here think the
companies may be preparing a trap for the
men, One company may offer a big in
crease of wages to it's men, get them to
work and cause a stampede among the
strikers in general.
All was qultl III the TeSlOn tO-udy III an
ticipation of a settlement of the strike.
There was a great deal of long-distance
telephoning going on tonight between
the individual operators of the Wyoming
valley and anthracite headquarters in New
York. The owners of the West End Coal
Company at Mocanaqua, whose colliery
has been in operation since the strike be-
gan, were called up late tonight to confer
with some of the officials of the big COM
panies in New York. 1t Is said the COM
panies controlling the trade are now poll
ing the individual operators with a view
or seeing how they stand on some of the
questions at issue. such as the price of
powder. etc.

ment Rumors Are True.
SHENANDOAH, Pa. Sept. S.-Sherif
Toole late this afternoon came up from
Pottsville and held a lengthy conference
with General Goblin at the latter's head
quarters. His trip is said to have been
caused by the reports that the strike was
approaching a settlement. While nothing
definite could be learned of what trans
rired during the consultation, it is under
stood the general and sheriff discussed
the question of removing the troops. So
far as can be learned tonight the soldiers
will remain until Sunday, but how long
afterwards is not known. The question
may be decided at a conference between
various operators i'm this vicinity, which
has been fixed for tomorrow afternoon.
Assistant Adjutant General Elliott, chief
of staff of the division, after an interview
with General Goblin said he felt confident
that the strike is nearing a settlement.
and that the necessity for the troops would
soon be obviated-
In this town and the neighboring mining
villages the reports that the strike might
soon terminate were received with many
expressions of satisfaction and relief. The
mine workers appear TO feel that they are
on the eve of a victory and the business
region resumes its wanted activity. There
were no material changes In the situation
in this section to-day.
The Ashland district was finally tied ND
tightly for the first time since the strike
was inaugurated.
