and this the strikers say they hope
to close soon. In the Lehigh region,
the situation is a stand off, ABOUT 5000
of the 10000 employees having quit.
Principally because the union has com
sparatively little strength in the Schuyl-
kill district, the men there have no
decided grievance as in the other dis
tricts and the strike was MT general
among the upward of 50,O00 men en-
ployed. Indications point t. the clos
ing OF some mines in the last named
district that operated yesterday, des-
pite the assertion of the ofi(ials of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal com
pany and other companies operating in
the region that they will continue
their collieries in, operation. Nearly
all the efforts of the strike headers are
devoted to organizing the men in the
weak Schuylkill and Leigh regions,
and many are joining the Union.
No violence worth mentioning
marred the first day of The struggle.
Practically no progress las yet been
made in the effort of some of the cler-
gy to bring about a settlement of the
trouble through arbitration.

President Mitchell Says 1t Will BE Great
est Labor Fight on Record.
Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 1a-The great
struggle between the anthracite coal
miners of Pennsylvania and their en-
ployers was begun yesterday. Each
side us confident of winning and
neither of the contendilg forces shows
any. disposition to yield. With the ex-
ception of trivial incident at No. 3
colliery of the Lehigh Coal company,
where a gang of boys compelled u
mule driver to seek cover by throwing
stones. at him, the contest thus far has
been devoid of violence of any kind.
President Mitchell gave out the fol
lowing statement:
Conformation received last night
shows that 112,OOO nine workers are
on strike in the anthracite region. OF
this number, 10000 are in district No
1, 10000 in district No. and 10000 in
district No. Z. Reports received are to
the effect that a largenumber of those
who went to the mines yesterday will
join in the suspension today. The
number of men now out on strike ex-
ceeds that of any other Industrial con
test in the history of our country"

Victoria, b. c., Sept. 1S.-Among the
advices brought by the Breconshire
from China We're stories Of the arrest
of Chinese with the heads of the for
eign soldiers in sacks. 1t seems that
head money of so taels is paid for each
head. This fact was brought to light
by the discovery of the private papers
of Viceroy Yu Lu of Tien Tsin. In
their daybook there is an entry
which reads: "Taels 100 paid for the
heads of two Americans killed in the
advance to the relief of Tien Tsin.
Taels 80 for the two guns captured on
the same OCCASION
The entry explains many CHASTITY in

REMOVING THE RUINS.
Work of Clearing Away the Debris and
Disposing of Bodies Continues
at Galveston.

Galveston, Sept. 1S-The ninth day
after the storm and still the gruesome
work goes on of recovering the dead
from the gigantic mass of debris that
lines the south side of what remains
of the city.
Yesterday 1O7 bodies were recovered
and cremated. Among them was a
mother with sucking baby tightly
clasped to her breast. In this impera-
tive necessity of the dispatch of the
dead tragic scenes are witnessed that
move the stoutest hearts.
The number recovered and cremated
today has not been reported as yet,
but it will exceed 100 or more. The
task of recovering the bodies that are
beneath or jammed into the immense
rick of debris, extending from the east
lern to the western limits of the city, a
distance of over three miles, is her
culean one and the most expeditions
way of removing the whole from san
itary point of view is by fire. This,
however, in the crippled condition of
the fire department and waterworks
would endanger the remaining portion
of the city.
AS it now stands, this immense mass
of debris, strewn with dead bodies,
the carcasses of decaying animals, etc,
is Sore menace to the health of the
city and is the most difficult problem
the board of health has to deal with.

In the first two, representing nearly

House Grounds at frankfort Immedi-
ately After the Shooting.
Frankfort, Ky, Sept 1S.-The first
really sensational testimony in the
trial of James Howard, charged with
having fred the shot that killed Will
lam Goebel, was given yesterday by
Bowman Gaines, local liveryman,
and James Stubblefeld, former dep
uty sheriff of Clay county. The former
identified Howard as the man who
ran out from the rear of the state
house grounds and jumped over the
fence Immediately after the shooting.
Gaines was positive in his identified
tion of the prisoner as the man, and
said the latter then wore mustache
and was followed by man who was
tall and slender. A boy who was near
at the time was introduced as wit
ness to corroborate Gaines. The most
sensational and at the same time the
most important witness from the pros
ecution's standpoint was James Stub
blefeld, a one-legged and one-armed
ex-deputy sheriff of Clay county. Stub
blefeld testified that Howard exulting-
ly told him that he fired the, shot that
took Goebel's life.
Stubblefield lost his limbs as re-
suit of the Clay county feuds last
year. His testimony in detail was that
Howard stopped at his house in Feb
ruary, shortly after the shooting.
Shortly after he came in Stubbletield
says he remarked to him, "Jim, you
all have been having trouble down at
Frankfort"
"Yes," responded Howard, accord
ing to the witness, 1--WE have raised
hi and cleaned the platter he added.
II never sight down my gun barrel
but what get meat or money, and this
time got both.'
Witness said he then pressed him
putting the direct question, Jim, dc
you mean to say that you killed Goe
bel?."
Howard, he says, responded in the
affirmative, and said he believed his
mountain friends would stand by him
and that 500 men could not take him
to Frankfort for trial
