EACH SIDE CONFIDENT.
The Strike Thus Far Has Not Been Marked Ky
Violence,
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated PrC5s.)
Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE great
struggle between the anthracite coal
miners of Pennsylvania and their en-
ployers was begun today. Each side is
confident of winning and neither of the
contendirg forces shows any disposition to
yield. With the exception of a trivial in
cident at No. 8 colliery of the Lehigh
Coal Company, where gang CT boys
compelled q mule driver to seek cover by
throwing stones at him, the contest thus
far has been entirely devoid of violence
Of any kind. The exact number of men
who struck cannot at this time be told,
as only estimates of the number of men
who did not start work were made today.
Reports received by the United Mine
Workers officials from, the entire anthra-
cite region were considered by them most
satisfactory. In this district there. are
5000 men employed in and about the
mines. OF this number it is conserva-
lively estimated that about fifty per
cent, or 5000 miners obcyed the order
of President Mitchell to quit work
Hazleton today presented an ANNA
ted appearance. Strikers from. all the
surrounding mining towns came here
early in the day and gathered in groups
on the street corners and discussed the
situation. 1t was a most orderly crowd.
Around strike headquarters at the Val
ley Hotel there was more or less of a
crowd of men all day President Mitchell
who arrived from the West last night.
was; kept busy all day and evening re-
ceiving reports from every section CT the
region Messengers bringing information
to him from nearby points kept coming
regularly.
President Mitchell tonight gave out the
following statement
Information received up to this time
indicates that 10000 mine workers are on
strike in the anthracite region. OF this
number 10000 are in district No. 1; 80
900 in district No. 8, and 10000 in district
No z.
Reports received are to the effect that
large numbers of those who went to the
mines today, will join the strikers tomor-
row,
I'VE feel confident that the entire num-
Der of men employed in and about tho
mines of the anthracite district will be
idle in the next few days.
'The men appear determined to con-
tinue on strike until their demands for
justice have been acceded to.
1.-THE number of men now out on strike
exceeds that of any other industrial con-
test in the history of our country"

BELIEVES 1T WILL FAIL.

New York, Sept. 17.-Robert NJ. Oltphant'
President of the Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company, said today of the coal
strike:
II don't believe that the strike can last
or that it will permanently affect the
price of coal in this city. There are 49,
Gee men who go down to work in the
mines Of the anthracite coal region. In
their recent statement the labor agita-
tors declared that they had but 81 oeo In
their treasury this would mean that they
can pay each of our men who go out at
their order tho sum of 30 cents for one
day. This will not support great strike

that the United States Exert its
Good Offices for Them.
European Governments do Not Believe
the Dispatch from Minister conger
to be Genuine.
Imperial Edict, Given Out in Full,
Blames Christian Mission Associa
ton for the Trouble.

n Washington, July 2233.--It is reported
the United States has been asked by
China to use its good offices in behalf
of that government, and the report
was confirmed at the state department
this morning. Secretary Hay, how
ever, says he is not ready to discuss
the subject. The appeal is similar,
if not identical, to the note delivered
last week to the French government
asking mediation. 1t is probable Sec
retary Hay will visit the president at
Canton and the reply will there be fer
mulated 1t is suggested that this
government cannot promise TO use its
good Offices until definite information
is obtained from Pekin.
The state department says the re-
plies received from foreign govern
ments to the Hay dispatch announcing
the receipt of a message from Conger
and urging cooperation in a speedy
advance on Pekin are SO inconclusiye
it is considered inadvisable to make
them public. Not one European
power believes the dispatch from Con-
ger to%be genuine. Even the Ameri-
can consul, Goodnow, at Shanghai,
adopts the theory that the Chinese Sc
cured an old message of Conger's and
forwarded it as a reply to Hay. The
full text of the imperial decree of July
7th, transmitted by Viceroy Liu is
given out. It blames the Christian
Mission association for the trouble, or
ders protection to foreigners and de-
plores the death of the Japanese chan
cellor and the German minister, and
promises to punish the murderers.

LIGHT COMPANIES.
Fargo, July 23.--Under franchise
granted by the, council of Fargo in
1881 an effort is to be made to shut out
all competition in the matter of fur
nishing lights OF all descriptions to the
residents>of Fargo.
Before Judge Pollock of the district
court was taken up the matter of
temporary Injunction asked by the
Fargo Gas & Electric Co. against the
Fargo Edison Co., enjoining the latter
company from erecting ana maintain
ing poles and an electric circuit on the
same streets and in close proximity to
the Fargo company. 81. .ss
Among the expert witnesses here to
testify are Professor Brooks OF, the Ne
braska university and A. w. Zohr, me
general manager Of the Manhattan
company ait st. Paul.
AS soon as this case is disposed Of
the Fargo Gas & Electric CO. will start
anlaction to preclude THE Edison COM
pany from operating a plant in the
city of Fatgo. In 1881 the city coun-
Gil gave the first lighting company an
exclusive franchise for an indefinite
term OF years. This company was
succeeded by the Fargo Gas & Electric
Co., and the gentlemen interested claim
that the city exceeded its its si,,it horlIy in
granting franchise to the Hughes
Electric Co. two years ago.
The present case, has grown out OF
the efforts of the Edison Co. to extend
its line to the south side of the city.
It is claimed that the poles erected on
south Eighth anu Ninth streets are SO
close to the poles and lines. of the old
scompany that the current is easily
switched. ss%sa a.
