There was practically no fight

Ruthless Disregard for Life.
so DECLARES PRESIDENT MITCHELL
Father Phillips, Who Has Worked Hard For
Arbitration, Now Declares the Miners
Must Fight to Finish, They
Have no Other Hope.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Sept. 22.-At the end of
the first week of the strike in the an
thracite coal fields of Pennsylvania there
are not wanting signs of desire on the
part of some of the strikers to return to
their work. This sentiment is generally
confined so far as reported, to the Eng
disappearing element among the mine
workers. Experience has shown that
these men are the most conservative, the
foreigners being impulsive and hot tenn
pered in strike times. Notwithstanding
the outbreak necessitating the sending of
troops to Schuylkill county, everything is
quiet in the coal region tonight. There
is feeling that efforts will be made in
all districts to start up mines that are
idle. The persistence of corporations and
individual mine owners in asserting that
they will consider grievances of their en-
ployes individually, but will never, under
any circumstances, treat with the United
Mine Workers, has undoubtedly had its
effect, and it would not be surprising IL
many mines that have been tied up since
the strike began will resume operations,
at least partially, the beginning of the
next week.

TIE TROOPS AT SHENANDOAH.
Galleries Closed Some Arrests For Disorderly
Conduct. Town Otherwise Quiet.
(By the Associated Pross.)


Shenandoah Pa. Sept, 22.-With the
arrival of the militia here today this
borough assumed it's normal condition and
the anticipated resumption of violence on
the part of the miners did not occur. 1t
might have been the presence of the sol
diers that restrained the turbulent ele
ment, but many of the residents believe
the lack of rotous scenes was due to the
fact that all the collieries here were
closed
Fearing that an attempt to work the
mines today would result in possible
bloodshed, Sheriff Toole last night re-
quested the mine owners to suspend oper-
ations until after the troops had arrived
The only colliery which attempted to
work today was the William Penn,
operated by the Susquehanna Coal Com
pany The employees were, however, in
tercepted on their way to the mine by
strikers, who succeeded in persuading
them to return to their homes.
The first detachment of troops arrived
here shortly before 8 o'clock this morning.
1t consisted of the Schuylkill County COM
panies Of the Fourth and Eighth Regi-
ments.
General Goblin established headquarters
in the Hotel Ferguson until he can find
suitable place in the field. The arrival
Of the troops occasioned much excitement
among the residents, and especially the
strikers, who thronged the vicinity Of the
railroad station from early in the morn
ing until late in the day. They were sui
len and vented muttered threats, but
made no attempt at violence. Aside from
the incursion of the militia, the most i'm
portant occurrence today was a meeting
of the English speaking mine workers of
this vicinity. Among the speakers were
Organizers ]. F. Purcell and George Har-
ris. of the United Mine Workers, and Paul
Pauleski, Lithuanian labor leader of this
place.
The meeting, which was secret, is said
to have been dominated by the foreign
employees. The English speaking men
favored returning to work on Monday, but
the foreigners voted them down and
adopted a resolution to remain on strike.
The English speaking employees declare
that they will go to the mines on Monday,
and serious consequences may result.
This was pay day at the William Penn
colliery and a number of armed deputies
were brought from Mahanoney Plane and
placed on guard around the slope. The
mine workers were orderly, however, and
no trouble occurred. DR.. Hamilton today
made a post mortem examination of the
body of John Schonitski, the Pole who was
shot and killed during last nights riots.
Schonitski had but recently arrived here,
and leaves a widow and several children
in Poland. The inquest will be held on
Tuesday by Coroner Cardin.
The saloons, which had been closed by
Burgess David Brown after yesterdays
riots, opened this afternoon, and as a
result several miners were arrested on
the charge Of disorderly conduct

Taku, Sept 2O.-Four thousand Rus
sian, 5000 German and 1000 French
troops, with detachment of Austrian
marines began the attack upon the Pei
Tang forts at daylight. The attack was
answered briskly from the forts, the
bombardment continuing until noon, but
it was noticed that the forts did not
reply after 10 o'clock.
The allies sent forward at noon to
discover the reason for the cessation of
the fire from the forts and found them
deserted, there being only four dead
Cinnamon within the walls.
The allies were much chagrined, as
they believed they had the place COM
pletely surrounded, the making escape
impossible yet over 1900 men got away
in broad daylight. The Russian artil-
lery fire had proved effective and the
forts were badly damaged.
The British and Italian commanders
had decided to join in the attack but
their troops did NOT arrive in time.
The entire line between Tien Tsin and
Taku shows reinforcements were heading
for the forts.
Three members of the allied forces were
killed and fifty were wounded through
the explosion of mines laid along their
line of march.

no delay. The enemy is powerful, vigil

Twenty Thousand PsopIe Breakfast as the
Guests Of France.

Paris, Sept. 22.-Under a tent covering
S5 .O0O square metres, 10000 persons break
tasted as the guests of France, in the
Tuilleries Gardens today. The banquet
was given by President Loubet to the
mayors of the municipalities of France in

said that such a prodigious repast was
never before undertaken. The arrange
ments had been going forward for some
weeks and resulted in such excellence of
detail that the event was carried to per-
lection without a hitch There was one
unpleasant incident. Max Regis, the anti
Semitic mayor of Algiers, tried to secure
hearing, but his voice was drowned by
the shouts of the assemblage. The police
finally interviewed and led Regis from the
banquet, after some of those present had
thrown articles of food at his head.
Just at noon President Loubet, accom-
panied by the Cabinet Ministers, arrived
at the Place de la Concorde in carriages.
The crowd gave the Presidential party
very great ovation. Hats were thrown
into the air, women waved handkerchiefs
umbrellas, and cheers for the President
and the Republic were given heartily.
NJ. Loubet and the Ministers entered the
tent ana aScended TO TdlSeu pldtlOlIu,
