LONDON, September 22.-Lord Sails
bury has not yet answered the German
proposal, nor has he even discussed its
terms with his advisers. II is likely
that several days will elapse before
Great Britain puts herself on record re-
garding the suggestion of Emperor Will
liam. AS Lord Salisbury is the sole
arbiter and as he has refrained from
mentioning the matter to his intimates,
it is naturally impossible definitely to
forecast the nature OF Great 1sitain's
reply.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, September o.
With the arrival of the militia here
to-day this borough assumed its nor
NAL condition and the anticipated re-
sumption of violence on the part of the
miners did not occur.
1t might have been the presence OF
the soldiers that restrained the turbu-
lent element, but many of the resi-
dents believe the lack or riotous scenes
was due to tie fact that all the col
lieries here were closed.
Fearing that an attempt to work the
mines to-day would result in possible
bloodshed, Sheriff Toole, last night re-
quested the mine owners to suspend
operations until after the troops ar
rived.
The only colliery which attempted to
work to-day was the William Penn,
operated by the Susquehanna Coal
Company. The employees were, how
ever, intercepted on their way to the
mine by strikers, who succeeded in
persuading them to return to their
homes.
The first detachment of troops ar
rived here shortly before s o'clock this
morning. 1t consisted of the Schuyl-
kill companies of the Fourth and Eighth
regiments. Shortly after II o'clock the
Tmalftb rooiyoopt orrivad and about
1870 the remaining companies of the
Fourth and Eighth regiments and Bat
terry C, of Phoenixville, reached here
and the Governors troop of fifty-tive
horses and men arrived at $3.50 O'clock
The soldiers residing at Orwigsburg,
Schuylkill Haven and contiguous points
assembled at Pottsville and boarded a
special train which picked up the COM
panies at Tamaqua, st. Clair Ma
hanoy City and Girardville. On the
same train were Gen. Gorbin and his
staff
The arrival of the troops occasioned
much excitement among the residents,
and especially the strikers, who throng
ed the vicinity of the railroad station
from early in the morning until late
In the day. They were sullen and
vented muttered threats, but made no
attempt at violence.
This was pay day at the William
Penn colliery and a number of armed
deputies were brought from Mahoney
Plane and placed on guard around the
slope. The mine workers were order
ly, however, and no trouble occurred.

WON'T RECOGNIZE UNION.

SCRANTON. Pa. September 22.-The
executive board are not apprehensive
of any change in the strike situation
by reason of the ordering out of troops.
The first news caused some ehagrin and
disappointment because they had hoped
for nothing but the best of order.
Now that troops are in the field an
uncertainty is growing among miners
here as TO their future. At Forest City
many men are dissatisfied with the
strike and intend to go TO work Mon
day. The Delaware, Lackawanna &

that If the men had pursued the same
course that the miners of this region
are doing in keeping away from the
mines there would have been no occa-
sion for bloodshed. Other miners
think the calling out of the militia will
strengthen the lines OF the strikers in
the Lehigh and Scuylkill regions.
. The operators look upon the affair as
the beginning of the end. They say
the miners in the Schuvlkiii and Lehigh
districts who want to go to work, but
who have been prevented by intimida-
ton, will now flock to the mines and
there, will be no difficulty in keeping the
collieries in operation.

CHILDREN OF EIGHT

rRde.
SCRANTON, Pa, September PA
parade of 1000 slate pickers, runners,
drivers, door tenders and helpers from
the mines of Scranton and vicinity was
the feature of to-day. The parade was
planned by Organizer Dilcher TO show
how many children who ought to be in
school were forced into the mine by
reason of their fathers being paid such
poor wages. 1t was sight that would
move the hardest heart. Fully a third
of the boys in line appeared to be about
nine or ten years of age, and inquiry
among them ELECTED the startling fact
that a few eight-year-old children were
numbered in the paraders.
The carpenters national convention
adopted resolution this morning de-
nouncing the sheriff of Schuylkill coun-
ty as a 'manslaughterer."
The authorities of Pennsylvania were
likewise condemned for sending him
troops.

Calendar Season Here.

The old calendars are now giving
out. The new crop is being dis
tributed. AS yet the distribution has
not assumed large proportions and
business men and others have re-
ceived only one or two new Gale ndars
so far. Towards the close of the
month the mail and messengers will
bring many of them, in fact about
ten times as many as any business
house can possibly use.
The custom of issuing a calendar in
July is growing. BY that time the
New Years crop of calendars has
largely passed away and those that
remain are possibly soiled or mutilat-
ed. A fresh calendar is likely to be
given place in midsummer, especi-
ally as it includes the first half of the
ensuing year, to which a business
man may have occasion to refer The
fire and life insurance companies is
sue the largest number OF advertising
calendars and there is no reason to
believe that any smaller number than
usual will be put forth this month.

Gently | had occasion to dispose of a
5-months-old calf which was taken
away about noon and butchered a
short distance from my residence.
When the cow came home at night.

quently for her calf. and the next
morning when it did not appear she eX-
hibited unmistakable signs of grief.
The orphan calf was no solace to her.
She was driven to the woods with her
mate, but came back and continued
lowing until noon. She came inside
the Enclosure, but would not eat grass.
Just after dinner q great commotion
was heard in the direction of where the
calf was butchered, made by number
of cattle lowing, having scented the
fresh blood. The grief stricken mother
COW ran to the closed gate and looked !
beseechingly toward me, as much as tY
say, please open the gate which
being done she started on a run to
where the other cattle We're lowing.
In a short time she came slowly
walking back to the house and was
again permitted to come inside the in
closure when she deliberately took up
a position at the kitchen door, wistful-
ly looking in mute despair at each
member of the family as they happen

ously from her eyes, and there she
stood the balance of the afternoon,
weeping necessarily, with the same ap-
parent grief that a mother would for
her dead child. 1t really caused me to
shed tears of sympathy for the poor
animal.
