LETTER GIVEN OUT.
Gov. Roosevelt Announces His Ac.
c~eptance of Vice Presidential
NOminatiOn-A Synopsis,

Chicago. Sept. I.-Gov. Roosevelt in
his letter accepting the republican
nomination for vice president, given out
Monday, expresses his thanks for the
honor conferred.
Z" lie declares that the most important
of all problems is that of securing good
government and moral and material
well-being within our own borders. and
declares the present contest is for the
continuance of our civil and political
integrity. He says the policy of the
tree coinage of silver at a ratio of is
to 1 is a policy fraught with d%estruc-
ton to every home in the land The
trust question is a matter for state con-
troll, but, he says, when they decline to
cooperate the national government
u step in. On Imperialism and mill
tarlsm Gov. Roosevelt enters into a
lengthy exposition OF the past history
OF u government in the acquisition
OF new territory, and declares that in
the pursuit of u present policy in
the philippines we are making no new
departure, and are not taking a single
step which in any way affects u in
stltutlons or our traditional policies.
In conclusion, Gov. Roosevelt saws that
granting self-government to the islands
under A~guinaldo would be simply plac-
ing them at the mercy of a syndicate
OF Chinese half-breeds, under whom
corruption would flourish far more
1reely tina it ever fourished under
l"eeo' while tyrannical oppression
would obtain to a degree only possible
under such an oligarchy. &

GREAT STRIKE BEGINS.
Anthracite Coal Miners Lay Down
Their Piclss-112,O0O Men
Reported Idle.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1s.-The great
strike of mine workers in the anthra-
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania, which
representrpractically the hard coal out
put Of the world, began Monday. Ac-
,cording ito President Mitchell, of the
United Mine Workers of America, who
is personally directing the strike from
his headquarters at Hazleton, the sue
cess of the four days effort to tie up
the mines exceeded the expectations of
the strike leaders. The hard coal re-
giomi is divided into four greatdistricts,
the Lackawanna, Wyoming, Lehigh and
Schuylkill regions. In the first two,
representing nearly 100000 men, the tie
up is practically complete. Only one
mine, employing a few hundred men, is
being operated. 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 mine en-
p.oyes having quit work. (.
Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 2O.-The third
day of the, strike passed off as quietly
as the two preceding days. Beyond

er going to or from his work, there
has been no disorder. 1t is estimated
that about 70 per cent. of the mine
workers of this region were idle
Wednesday. President Mitchell said
that from reports he had received he
figured on more than 1876 1000 being idle
in the anthracite district. No negotia-
tions for a settlement of the strike are
yet in sight. 9
st. Louis, Sept. eo.-The effect of
the strike of miners throughout the
anthracite fields is being felt in St.
Louis, and because of the scarcity of
the product from there and the conse-
quent advance in prices, bituminous
coal from the Illinois field, which is
being substituted for it here and by
dealers in the northwest, is also going
Anthracite is now quoted here
as high as $S.25 Atom, an advance of
$1.75 in less than two months. Deal
ers agree that if the strike continues
long there will be a scarcity of both
hard and soft Goa and prices will be
considerably higher. The annual
consumption of hard coal in St. Louis
is 100000 tons. Dealers say that
about half this amount is available.
