SITUATION AT HAZLETON.

HAZLETON, Pa, September 30.-The
posting by the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal & Iron Company of notice
granting an increase of 10 per cent. to
all the employees of its thirty-nine col
lieries in the Schuylkill Valley did not
cause any apparent commotion at the
headquarters of the United Mine Work.
ers to-day. President Mitchell did not
know of the action of the Reading
Company until informed of it by re-
porter of the Associated Press. He did
not express the least surprise. He re-
fused to discuss the advance, but it is
understood that he knew the 10 per
cent. increase would be made and was
anxious to see in what manner the in
formation would be conveyed to the
men.
The action of the Reading Company
in directly notifying its men through
posters, indicates that the operators
will not recede from their position of
refusal to recognize the union.
What President Mitchelps first move
will be in view of this new phase of
the situation is not known
THE operators are evidently not TAX

would depend upon circumstances
whether a compromise would be con-
sidered. When asked if the amount OF
the increase would be one of the cir
cumstances, he said it would be con-
sideration.
There is considerable talk tonight
that the posting of the notices will
cause a break in the strikers ranks.
1t is predicted that if this does happen
it would mean the end of the strike in
a very short time The labor leaders
again reiterated to-nigh that there will
be no break and that the strikers are
under perfect control. President Nit
chell said he did not order the mine
workers notice to be placed along with
that of the Reading Company, but ne
thought it was done as result OF his
warning to the strikers last week to the
effect that they should not go back TO
work until ordered to do so by the
union officials. The strikers, he said,
probably chose the poster scheme as
one of the methods of keeping the men
in line.
The usual Sabbath quiet prevailed
throughout the Lehigh Valley to-day.
A big mass meeting was held at Free
land wnlcn was addressed by Presi-
dent Mitchell and National Committee
mal Dilcher. At Lansford, in the Pan
Their Creek valley tonight, a mass
meeting was held which was address
ed by National Committeeman Benja-
min James. The strikers are making
a strong effort to get all tine men, about
two thousand, now working in the
Panther Creek valley to quit. Tonight
SIX omnibus loads of McAdoo strikers
went to that valley and attended the
meeting. 1t is reported that a number
of men will go to that locality to-mor-
row morning for the purpose of :nduc-
ing the non-strikers to leave the mines.
Gen. Gorbin and Sheriff Toole have
been asked for protection by the COM
panies operating the mines.

PROJECTILE AIR.

Very often a soldier gets so severe a
wound from the tiny bullet of the mod
ern rifle tina he concludes the enemy ha'
no respect for the Geneva Convention,
and is using the terrible explosive bullet
which no civilized nation uses now. Sur
geons who know their business are well
aware of the explanation of this mis-
take. The explosive effects are due to
the air which the bullet drives before 1t
into the wound.
ANY one can put the matter to a sim.
pie test. BY dropping a round bullet in
to a glass of water from a height of one
or two yards it will be seen that the mo.
ment the bullet touches the bottom a
very large bubble of air will become de-
tached and rise to the surface. In some
cases this bubble has a volume of air
20 times as large as the bullet.
But when a rife bullet is travelling at
immense speed it drives before it a COM
pressed bubble much larger still. A
military surgeon fired a pistol ball into
a vessel of water so arranged that he
was able to catch and measure the air
bubble. and he found it to be 100 times
the size of the ball.
The destructive effects of this mass OF
air when it gets into a mans body NAV
be imagined. It regularly explodes. tear
ing the muscles in a terrible manner. In
fact, verv often the soldier who is said
to have died from a bullet wound Is
really killed by the explosive volume OF
air. which is appropriately called PRO
iectile air"

THE TRADE WIND.

The Spectator: The Southeast Trades
are almost as sure in their operation as
is the recurrence of day and night. The
homeward-bound sailing ship, once hav-
ing been swept around the Cape of Good
Hope in spite of adverse winds by the
irresistible Agulhas current, usually
finds awaiting her a souherly wind. Sail>
ors refuse to call it the first of the trades,
considering that any win blowing with
out the tropics has no claim to be called
a trade" This fancy matters little.
The great thing is that these helpful
breeZes await the homeward-bounder
close down to the southern limit of his
passage, await him with arms outspread
in welcome. and coincidentally with the
pleasant turning of his ships head
homeward. permit the yards to be
squared. and III course to be set as de-
sired. And the ship-like a docile horse
who. after a long days journey. find his
head pointing stableward and settles
steadily down to a clinking pace-gath-
ers way in a stately fashion, n glides
northward at a uniform rate without
any further need of Interference from
her crew.
Throughout the lone bright days. with
the seaw caring one vast many-dimpled
smile. n the stainless blue above quiv-
ering in light uninterrupted by the pass
age of a single cloud, the white winged
ship sweeps serenely on. All around In

like upon her placid a the steadfast

The PLIGHT OF THE PAGAN

While the trouble in China is based on
a fanatical hatred of foreigners, it is IN
deniably true that that hatred has been
chiefly inspired by the attempt to Chris
tianize that country.
No man has a greater generation for
the bones of his ancestors thar the Mon
golian heather, and he is happy in the
faith that his progenitors are safe in the
arms of a beneficent past.
But following the gunboats of Great
Britain, which opened the ports of Hong
Kong, came, first, a development OF the
opium trade, which inflicted upon China
the most sublime curse that ever fell to
the lot of mankind, and this was followed
by an influx Of missionaries who notified
the yellow heather than he was laboring
under a mistake respecting the fate of
his ancestors.
He was surprised and shocked by the
information that instead of reposing in
the NEUROLOGICAL haven Of Confucion
rest his revered grandfathers were suf-
fering the fortunes of the damned in a
billowy pit of perpetual fire.
Here and there, alarmed at his own
prospects for the future, a Chinaman
would embrace the Christian faith in or
der to escape the fate which had over
taken his Goddess relatives.
But, as a general thing, the Chinese
people looked upon the introduction of
the characterization idea as subver-
sive Of the conservative philosophy which
they enjoyed, and likely to breed dis
trust and discomfort along the masses.
The leaders Of Chinese thought foresaw
lin the conversion of their subjects the
development Of issues that would ulti.

H PLOT 7HiCKEks.

A convention which has attracted
from the east newspaper representatives
of the metropolitan press, on account OF
the large spot occupied by the demo-
cracy of Montana in the eye of the ma
ton. cannot fail to excite u~nbounded in
terest at home. 1t Is not to be wondered
at that Butte numbers among her visit
ors, in addition to the delegates-and
those Who think they are delegates-a
great many democrats who would like to
have been delegates, had circumstances
over which they had no control been
more easily managed.
Aside from the interest which tomor-
CIV convention has excited in the out
side world-and its bearing on the action
of the sun, moon and stars-the leaders
of both factions of the democratic party
realize that a sort of political Corbett-
FitZsimrnons affair is in the perspective
of the preliminary sparring of today. The
impression that tomorrow's convention
will settle the question of party leader
ship in this state mounts to a convic-
ton. Senator Clark will take his place
at the front end of the democracy, with
a party vindication in his political strong
box, and the plumes of leadership in his
hat, or he will have to make way for the
recognition Of the public virtues and
transcendant abilities, and sundry other
things, of Congressman Campbell.
II the Clark men control tomorrow's
convention, and SEND a Clark delegation
to Kansas City, with the senator at its
head, that wing of the party will acquire
an u~ndisputed leadership of the demo-
cratic party in this state. BY the same
token, their defeat will place the control
OF the party in the hands of the Daly
men, with all that would signify to the
reputation of Mr.. Clark abroad. Nothine
could happen in a political way tina
would prove as destructive to the ambi-
lions OF Mr.. Clark as the defeat of his
followers in tomorrow's convention. Thu
incentive to hard work on the part OF
both his friends and his enemies is a
strong one.
All surface indications point to a CLARK
victory tomorrow, and the efforts now
being put forth by the DAILY men to effec1
