VICTORIES FOR STRIKERS.
Changes In the Situation Favor the Work

of Locust Spring Colliery--Others Ex-
pected to Follow Suit.

OAAOss
Philadelphia, Sept 2S.-The tower
ing feature of the coal strike situation,
and one which attracted the attention
of all interests involved, was the wide
~ circulated report that negotiations
are pending and rapidly nearing com
pletion for an amicable settlement of
the strike
While the identity of the person or
persons who are said to be at work
endeavoring to bring about peaceful
adjustment of the difference between
the employers and employees, has not
been disclosed, it was openly admitted
In authoritative sources that such en-
deavor was in progress.
President Truesdale of the Lacka-
wanna is quoted as making such adj
mission. President Mitchell expressed
the belief that the operators had de-
cided to offer the miners an increase of
10 per cent in wages, but he, too, de-
clined to admit whether he possessed
any further information on the subject.
From Scranton comes report that
LIE PERSONS III WOTh were SlFOIlS pO-
litically and that the operators were
obliged to offer the men at least con-
'cession of wages.
The information upon which the OPP
orators based their conclusion that the
working influences were political could
not be learned.
Coupled with nearly all the reports of
q probable early settlement of the trou-
Bile was that the men would be offered
an increase in pay, but the operators
positively refused to arbitrate the diff
ferences with President Mitchell or in
any manner give recognition to the
Mine Workers union. This refusal to
recognize the union would not prove a
difficult obstacle to overcome.
Matters were quiet throughout the
strike regions yesterday and the strik-
ers' forces We're increased by the clos
ing Of few mines.

again spoiled the racing here yester-

broke just beyond the wire and mar

.CRESI;[US Still KING.
Wins the Big Stallion Race In
Commanding Style.
CAPTURES $4,000 PURSE.

Charley Herr's Great Performance--Wins
First Two Heats, but Loses Third by
Nose--Contralto Wins Third Heat at
Terre Haute.
Boston, Sept. 2s.-Cresceus, the king
of stations, added jewel to his crown
yesterday by winning in five hard
driven heats the $4,000 race at the
meeting of the New England Trotting
Horse Breeders association on the
Readville track. So much of favor
lite was the son of Robert McIregor
before the trial began that the pools
were barred against him. 1t looked
for two heats as if the great stake
would be wrested from the king by
Herr, the winner of the Massachusetts
stake race last year. But game as
was Charley Herr, his strength was not
equal to the task, and his star set in
the third heat, when Cresceus beat him
at the wire in 2:O7A After that in
made a wonderful bid for the race,
leaulng to the three-quarters, and then
being beaten out on the stretch by
Cresceus, who seemed to have marvel-
Gus speed when needed. Grattan Boy
was third.
Charley Herr won the first two heats,
but lost the third by nose. 1t was in
the fourth heat that Heirs chance of
winning looked best, for with whole
length to the good it did not appear
that he could lose. With an ease that
carried the crowd off its feet Cresceus
stepped out and in the stretch went
to the front by four lengths, and Herr.
tired, was whipped under the wire, just
outside of Grattan Boys way. The
others were we'll behind. The fifth
and last heat was a simple affair. Cres-
ceus led the way and in the last hun
dred yards Grattan Boy beat Herr for
the place. Throughout the race Lord
Vincent was never in it, while Arion
was unable to force himself when a
little extra speed meant winner.
The race as a whole was undoubtedly
the greatest ever seen in New England.
It recalled the stallion event years ago
at Beacon Park, Cambridge, when Mel
son crowned himself by winning $10,-
600 purse. The day was perfect for
the race and the track, while looking
triflet soft, was evidently prime foot
ing. The crowd must have gone we'll
over the $4,000 mark.
