OPERATORS YIELD.
Great Strike of the Anthra-
cite Miners Practically at
an End.
Demands of the Scranton Mine
Workers. Convention Are
Granted.
IS A VICTORY FOR THE MEN
Mine Owners Concede More
Than the Workmen Asked
of Them.
Agree to Maintain the Advance
in Wages After the First
of April.

PHILADELPHIA, Dot. 18-The great
strike of the anthracite mine workers
Of Pennsylvania, which began Sept. II,
practically ended when the Philadel.
phia and Reading Coal and Iron COM
pany and the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany agreed to abolish the sliding scale
in their respective regions and to grant
an advance in wages Of 10 per cent net,
the advance to remain in operation un.
til April l, 1901. or thereafter. This
action meets the demands of the Scran-
ton miners convention. The decision
was arrived at after conference be.
tween representatives of the individual
coal operators and the large coal carry.
ing companies. This action was the
elimination Of the recent meeting of
the individual operators at Scranton
following the mine workers conven-
ton in the same city. Nearly all of the
collieries in the coal region had pre-.
vious to the mine workers convention
posted notices granting an advance of
10 per cent. The mine workers in con.
sidering this demanded that the sliding
scale in the Lehigh and Schuylkill dis.
tricts be abolished, the increase to be
guaranteed until April l, 1901, and all
other differences be submitted to arbi-
tration. The individual operators agreed
to everything and the appointment of a
committee to induce the Reading and
the Lehigh companies to abolish the
sliding scale and
Make the Wage Increase Permanent
followed. 1t is conceded that the re-
suit of the conference is q complete
victory for the men. All the demands
of their convention are acceded to, and
as one individual operator put it after
the conference, the operators go a little
farther in agreeing to maintain the ad.
vance after April l..
The Reading company's notice reads:
1.-The Reading Coal and Iron company
hereby withdraws the notice posted
Oct. 3, 1900, and to bring about prac.
tical uniformity in the advance of
wages in the several coal regions, gives
notice that it will suspend the opera.
ton of tho sliding scale, will pay 10 per
cent advance on September wages till
April /, 1901, and thereafter until
further notice; and will take up with
its mine employees any grievances
which they may have"
Just how soon the official order noti-
flying the men that the strike is ended
and to return to work will be issued by
President Mitchell can only be con-
jectured. It is believed here that no
order to return will be issued until q
notice similar 10 or in line with that of
the Reading and Lehigh companies is
posted at all the collieries.

Indications That the Uprising In Southern
China Will Not Down Easily.
HONG Kong, Oct. l6.-A column of
troops has been dispatched to the Kow.
loon frontier with the object of bar.
ring armed refugees, either rebels or
imperial troops, from entering British
territory when defeated.
The rebels are reported to be 5000
strong 80 miles north Of the British
frontier. A thousand of Admiral Hos
troops are in pursuit Of them. while
1000 Chinese troops have left Canton
overland to intercept the rebels.
Admiral Ho has informed the gov.
ernor that the rebellion was carefully
planned. The rebels are anxious to
conciliate the villagers and gain the re.
spect of foreigners, hence the absence
of outrage and pillage. All indications
point to the rising being widespread.
Outbreaks occurred simultaneously in
several centers Of Kwang Tung and
Kwang 81. Apparently, Kang.Yu
