CANTON, Ohio, Sept. Ex-senator Han
ma. on leaving Canton this afternoon, de-
MED the Chicago report that he came to
prevail upon the President to take more
active personal part in the campaign by
going West to make a few political
speeches.

This is the first time since the Presi-
dents denomination that Senator Hanna,
or anyone else really close TO the FRESH
dent, has been authoritatively questioned
as to delegations and the Presidents per-
sonal part in the campaign. In an indi-
rect way it has been said from time to
time that the President would make no
speeches. and that delegations to Canton
world be discouraged. 1t is we'll known,
however. that up to a short time ago,
some of the campaign managers waDted
Mr. Mckinley to speak to delegations, and
Cantonians have never entirely abandoned
the hope that he would do So At no time
has it been expected here that the Presi-
dent would make a political tour.
The President returned to Canton this
morning accompanied by Secretary Cor
telyou. They occupied a special car at
tached to the regular train. but did not
wait for the car TO be pulled up to the
station. The President was among the
arst to leave the train. He mingled with
the crowd until his carriage was reached.
Mrs. Mckinley was anxiously awaiting
him at the house and before the team
was returned TO the stable they wen. for

The MONDAY lunch was delayed until

THE OPERATORS ACTIVE.
Swearing in Special Policemen I'm
the wiIkesbarre District.

wILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. 22.-The op-
orators here claim that the end of the
strike Is only a few weeks distant owing
to the presence OF the troops in the lower
coal fields. The soldiers, they say, will
give confidence to the men who want TO
work and have been compelled to remain
on strike. The conservative miners Of this
section OF the coal fields are greatly dis
turbed by the Shenandoah shooting and
severely eriticise the strikers there for
the acts of violence which led TO it.
In this district there have been no out
breaks, and none is expected The men
have remained away from the mines and
there has been no marching. The coal
companies. however. are busy swearing In
special policemen in addition to the reg
ular force. Six hundred men have been
commissioned in the last two days and the
recorder of deeds, Lee Holcomb instead Of
having the men come to town. has driven
around 10 the collierles and sworn them
in on the scene Of their work The COM
pznies are after more men, and by Tuesday
there Will probably be over thousand on
duty.
Col. C. B. Dougherty, of the Ninth Regi-
ment, reports that the regiment is ready
TO respond within an hour TO any call from
the Governor. The men have all been no.
tiled and a special train is on the track
waiting. There Is much curiosity as to
whether all the men would report willing

QUIET IN sHAMoKIN.
All But Two of the Local Galleries
Closed Down.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Sept. 22.-This place
was very quiet today. The situation has
not changed in the least. All the local
coIlieries are closed down with the ex.
ception of Locust Gap and North Franklin.
The United Mine Workers expect that
these collieries will be tied up completely
by Monday. The operators will make an
attempt to start most of the collieries in
this vicinity next Monday. Pennsylvania
Railroad crews since last night were busy
taking many freight and coal cars ont of
the coal region as precautiOn against
incendiarism, in case of riots.
Sheriff Zerfing, of Sunbury, was in the
coal region last night. So far he has not
received aacall for deputies. Between
here and Mount Carmel today there was
no violence ON the part of the foreign
element A call was made today by sew
eral men for miners in favor OF going to
work next Monday to meet tomorrow and
discuss the situation.
Several thousand people gathered at the
Pennsylvania station awaiting the arrival
of the Twelfth Regiment on their way to
Shenandoah. At $3.50 the train passed at
twenty-five miles an hour. AT one cross
ing the soldiers were greeted with a vol
ley of Kisses and jeers from body of
men. On the tenders of the three engines
were a detail of armed soldiers. Each

AS the troops passed through Mount

time the cars were being inspected and
locomotives exchanged at the latter place
a strict guard was thrown around the
cars and no one allowed near the tra IN.
One Of the guards told reporter that
some of the soldiers were afraid of
Shamckin and we're very glad when the
train was safely through the town. as
they feared violence.
The following message was received by
District Superintendent Brennan this
morning from General Superintendent
John Veitch, OF Pottsville:
Complete abandonment of the Henry
Clay, Sterling Burnside, and Bear Valley
ccllieries at once
In accordance with this order Brennan
went TO the different pumping stations and
ordered the pumps stopped and the hres
drawn from under the boilers. Three
thousand men and boys worked at the col
lieries previous to the strike

COAL SHORTAGE IN NEW YORK.
The supply of FueI Running Down
and Prices Rising.

NEW YORK, Sept 22.-The first week
of the coal strike leaves this city with a
low supply Of fuel and small chances Of
any immediate relief from the shortage.
The announcement this morning that many
of the eollieries of the Philadelphia aud
Reading Company we're closing down
seemed TO remove the last hope that any
retail dealer Will be able to replenish his
present stock. While there was no large
general advance in the price Of ordinary
white ash coal, dealers report that a rise
in prices may be expected at any time.
White ash coal could not be procured un-
der 81 a ton this morning. Most Of the
retailers report that they have almost no
red ash coal on hand.
Practically all the retailers have ceased
to buy COAL simply because there is none
TO be obtained. They reported this morn
Ing that the outlook was worse than at
any time during the week. Ordinary sizes
OF Gal will last for two weeks, but
1t is said that one week will see the end
of the local steam coal supply. Some re-
tailers have run out of these sizes already.
Many large buildings are now using BIZ
luminous coal, as is shown by the volumes
OF black smoke belching from many Chin
neys Retailers have been buying up soft
coal for the last few days and are now ad-
~isIng customers to use II instead of the
small ssEes nf anthracite.

OLD SEA CAPTAIN DYING.
jacob Teal Roved the Ocean for Over
HnIf n Century.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 22.-Jacob Teal.
,ne OF the best-known. as well as one OF
the last of the oid-line sea captains
who made Philadelphia famous as sea-
port, is lying at the point of death at his
bone, in this city.
Mr.. Teal. who WIS born in Cape May
county, n. J., in 1871. came to this city
with his parents when an infant, and
Philadelphia has ever since been his
home Following the footsteps of his
faiher, who sailed the first vessel that
ever carried American made sails, he
adopted the sea as profession. spending
ffty-four years on board various ships,
many of which he commanded. In 1882 he
resigned the command of his last vessel
to accept an appointment as member Of
tha United States Board of Surveyors for
Ph hiladelphia, position which he filled
..ith credit for ten years.
In 1882 the advancing inhrmities of age
compelled him to relinquish his Office, and
since that time he has lived in retirement.
Old age is the cause of his present condi-
tion, and the attending physicians have
told the ve.era!. sailors family that death
may be expected at any moment

A REAR-END COLLISION.
Sleeping FIagman Caught
Maryland Wreck.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 22.-Neglect of duty
IN the pnrtof flagman detailed to watch
an extra freight train resulted in the in
iury of the iagman and others and the
wreck of three cars and an engine on the
Western Maryland Railroad at Emory
Grove early yesterday morning.
The accident occurred on thS Baltimore
and Harrisburg division near it's junction
with the main line and on the stretch just
back of the signal station. The extra
freight. with two engines. had been back
ed into the stretch just around a bend,
which concealed it from trains coming
from the direction of Harrisburg.
John Derr was left to flag the morning
milk train from Harrisburg. due at 7.34
O'Clock. but ne entered the caboose and
went to sleep. The Harrisburg train came
on time. turned the curve, and crashed
into the waiting train. The caboose con-
tanning the sleeping man was thrown from
the track. a mass of splinters and debris.
and the hagman was thrown into a fence
corner in the ditch.
The fireman of the Harrisburg train
saw the danger as the engine rounded the
curve and jumped, escaping with some
bruises. but the engineer stuck to his post
ana passed through unScatneQ. Inc DaB-
gagemaster of the Harrisburg train was
painfully injured in the arms and legs
and had one hand cut by the avalanche of
milk cans which fell upon him.
Flagmar Derr was picked up by the
crew of the milk train and taken to the
station, where he was restored to con-
sciousoess and sent to Baltimore on an
early train. He was much burised and
shocked Dr. j. W. Chambers. who at
tended him at his home, said that he did
not think he had sustained internal inju-
ries.
The engine plowed its way for twenty
feet, forcing a box car of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad off its trucks and piling it
up against the engine, and then cut in
half box car of the Western Maryland
Road. The front trucks Of the engine were
doutied up under it and the rear wheels
thrown off the track. The pilot was car
ried away completely and the boiler was
ripped in the side.
Wreeking crews from Hanover and
Unio, Bridge. under Superintendent s. NJ.
NaniJsol !, of the Harrisburg division, and
Ma ster Mechanic David Holtz. of Union
Bridge, were soon upon the scene, and the
tracks were clear by 5 o'clock in the az
ternoon. Passengers between Baltimore
and Harrisburg were transferred around
the wreck. 1t is thought $1,000 will cover
The loss ~ the wreck.

MINERS BIG PARADE.
An Orderly Demonstration by StriiS-
ers in Mahanoy City.

MAHANoY CITY, Sept. 22.-All but two
collieries in this district shut down today
to avoid trouble. Attacks of strikers were
feared, ard to avoid a repetition of the
Shenandoah riot it was deemed advisable
to make nc attempt to resume. About $500
miners held a big parade this evening.
They wore citizens clothes and red badges
The men were cheered all along the line,
and there was no disorder They then held a
picnic at Pleasant Hill, where addresses
were delivered by George Harris, Mother
Jones, and other labor leaders.
The Citizens Band furnished music, This
was pay day, and .0O0 was paid out to
the men. Deputy Sheriff 0'Donnell made a
special request that no peer be sold at the
picnic. US the citizeps thought If this were
done no outbreak would occur. The only
collieries working about here today were
Gnberton and Draper. 1t is likely that a
regiment of soldiers will be here on Mon
day morning early to protect the men who
want to work in the seven collieries.

COTTON GROWERS ORGANIZING.
An Association to Control the Output
of the south.

COLUMBIA, s. C., Sept. 22.--In another
year the farmers OF the South will be Or
ganized, It is declared, as never t=f6Ti= in
the history Of the country. Unlike former
movements of this kind, politicians az. not
at the head of it.
The new movement promises to accom-
plish more for the farmers in the Cotton
Growers Association. The States of South
Carolina. Georgia, and Alabama are al
ready organized. while during the fall and
winter the work OF organizing Mississippi,
Louisiana, and Texas will be pushed. To
facilitate the work there will probably be
three headquarters for as many Districts
one AZ Atlanta for the Atlantic cotton
States and Alabama, onesat New Orleans
for the Gulf States. and the other in one
of the central Texas cities for that State.
Each State will have its own organiza-
tion, with a president, and this officer in
the State In which division headquarters
are situated viii probably take charge OF
the division work. One general head will
be selected by the several States. He will
be a strong inancier who has the conf
dence OF the bankers and capitalists of the
South, because in this new movement the
farmers are not trying. as heretofore 10 do
everything alone. They are very depend
ent on capitalists. The success of the Or
ganization depends on the cooperation of
500, 600 farmers bankers, merchants, ware
housemen, and ginlers, aid this it is
claimed, is assured.
Pending the organization Of the other
States. Harvey Jordan, President of the
Georgia Association, is acting as the head
of the associations organized, and. under
direction OF representative Southern cotton
planters, IS pushing the work in the sew
eral States. Speaking of the purpose of thu
association. he said:
