Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. li.-A canvass
f the operators of the Wyoming val
ley. today. shows that there is consid-
cradle opposition to granting the miners
any more concessions than those out
lined in the original offer. namely. 10
per cent. increase without any condl-
tons. The individual operators espec-
tally are opposed to tieins themselves
~ to any agreement. One operator
said the only way the strike can be
settled is for the strikers II accept the
10 per cent without any provisions.
Supt. Chase of the Lehigh Coal 60,
said: Not much dependence can be
placed on the men when it comes 70
arbitration. This was shown in the
case of Mr.. Markle. He favored arbi-
tration. but at the best of Mr.. Mitch
al his miners repudiated the agree
ment they made with their employer
The demands of the strikers that the
operators should agree to pay the IN
creased wages for fixed period is too
arbitrary ana the operators will hardly
agree to it.

ton taken by the anthracite miners
convention at Scranton, yesterday. Mel

has come to the surface in this region
on which to base the report.
The United Mine Workers officials
say that they are waiting on the oper-
ators ana they will continue t. close
up the collieries that have been in OPP
Grafton since the strike began four
weeks ago. There are many reports
in circulation that if the strike contin-
ues much longer, a break in the ranks
of the idle men will occur. President
Mitchell and his associate officials.
however. reassert their confidence that
the men, both union and non-uninn.
will remain away from the mines I'M
Ill after the strike is declared off.
There is a fear prevalent in this re-
gion that if some Of the men do return
to work trouble will probably arise
through the efforts of the strikers to
persuade the men to remain on strike.
All the collieries that are working
still remain heavily guarded.

same"
The operators here believe that the
convention at Scranton will result in a
worse ENHANCEMENT of the difficulties
between the companies and the men
than exists at present.
The operators, in Offering the 10 per
cent, say that they have gone their
Limit, and they declare that they win

derstood, too. among some of them.
that if the strike is not settled by cleo
ton time, the offer Of the 10 per cent
will be withdrawn and the men left to
fight out the strike with the prospect
Of returning to work at the old wages
The operators are confident that the
men will be unable to remain on strike
more than month longer, as the
union Will be unable to provide for
them for more than a few weeks The
men have now about exhausted their
resources, and the local unions. which
have been supporting some Of the
Needy families, find their funds getting
low.

The Scranton convention are not ac-
ceptable to operators and representa-
tives of coal carrying companies in this

officials do not think the sliding scale
will be abolished by the company. While
operators are adverse to signing 4 con
tract binding them to pay the 10 per
cent. increase until April. NJ orders
have been received as yet from head
quarters of any companies instructing
superintendents to resume work. to-
morrow. Miners say they VIII not ~

SYRACUSE FUNDS WASTED
MAYOR AND COUNCIL MAY BE HELD
LIABLE FOR THE CITY'S FINAN-
CIAL4 MUDDLE.

Albany. April 5 (SpeciaD.-The wasteful
penditures OF the municipal authorities of SYRIA
cuse were revealed to-day to the Assembly.
These facts brought light by the
port of the special Assembly committee appoint
ed by the Speaker for the purpose of investigat-
ing the financial affairs of that city and
pecially in order to learn why one of it's AS
semblymen had introduced bill asking for the
city the right to issue bonds to the extent Of
$400000 The discovery OF -&his deficit of nearly
$5O00O0 had been the direct cause Of the in
vestigation.
The report relates in detail how the city's
moneys were expended. It particularly calls at
tention to several funds upon which the drain
had been heaviest. It says:
Expenditures Of vast amounts. without author
ity OF law. accompanied by Illegal transfers Of
money and accounts from one fund TO another
appear TO have wasted the money ana seriously
impaired the financial condition OF the city IN
paid bills. which had accumulated against SAID
city, and which were distributed among the
various funds, had been presented TO and audited
by the Common Council in the amount or
SIS 2l909 for which warrants had been drawn.
but the warrants were withheld and the sigma
ture of the Mayor defaced therefrom. and the
same now remain undevered in the office of the
City Clerk.
The report quotes provisions from the city
charter relating TO SUCH use or its FUNDS Ihe
report then continues:
The most noticeable waste and the occasion of
the largest overdrafts on the contingent fund
appears to have been made in the conduct of
the Poor Department Of the city.
It further appears that the insurance upon
the buildings of the city is carried largely and
placed by an insurance firm, OF which the
Mayor Of the city is of the active partners.
A large amount of insurance upon the school
buildings of the city in the year 1899, was let
by contract to the lowest bidder therefor, and
this firm received. under said contract. over
100000 of such insurance, and carries large in
surance upon other buildings of the city.
The report ends with TWO resolutions:
First-That in their opinion the statute fully
provides for the personal liability of the Mayor
and the members of the Common Council of the
city who in the first instance incurred and
created the existing overdrafts and deficiencies;
and the city Of Syracuse has right of action
against such officers TO recover the various
amounts Of the same.
IN view Of the large volume Of criminal bust
ness which your committee are informed is
now pending in Onondaga County, and the
length of time and detailed examination likely
to be required, deem ii advisable that the
Governor of the State be requested to appoint
extraordinary term of the Supreme Court,
with a Grand Jury, in Onondaga County to take
cognizanCe Of such offences mentioned in this
report.

ECHO OF THE LExow INVESTIGATION.

The two police bills which were framed and in
troduced IN the Legislature after the supposed
deathbed confession Of Augusta Thurow on March
g. passed the Assembly to-day. These measures
were introduced by Senator Ford They are in
behalf Of Michael Doherty and John HOch. two
members Of the New-York police force who
discharged from service during the Lexow Com
mittee's work, upon the testimony of Mrs Thurow.
The most important fact in connection with the
bills which has light Is that they pro-
vide for back salaries Of the discharged officials.
An amendment was made 10 this effect just before
they passed the Senate and 1t is thought that the
claims provided for will amount TO as much as

PEPpERY REMARKS BY THE MAYOR.
THE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR
ION HIS LIST AGAIN-HEAR-
INGS ON BILLS

Some peppery remarks by Mayor Van Wyck
about the Governor and Legislature were called
out yesterday a hearing the Wagner bill to
depress the tracks of the Long Island Railroad in
Atlantic-ave.. Brooklyn. and make the city pay
half the cost. Eugene G. Blackford president of
the Atlantic Avenue Improvement Commission, and
a delegation of Brooklyn property owners were at
the Mayors office to urge the signing OF the BILL
which is a re-enactrent Of the law which author
ized the building Of a tunnel TO Manhattan. The
Long Island Railroad Company refused TO build
the tunnel under the law. and in the present bill
the tunnel feature is eliminated
Mayor Van Wyck said that the CITY did not OBJ
tect 10 paving ST. 250001 condition that tunnel
was TO be constructed, but under the present
ditons he did not why the city should pay any
thing. Why did you not have bill passed to
compel the railroad company 70 pay the whole cost
Of the Improvement he asked.
Because the railroad company would not con-
sent was Mr.. Blackfords reply.
so the Legislature won't pass bill without the
consent of the Long Island Railroad answered
the Mayor The Legislature is quick enough TO
act when II comes TO taking money from the city
Ike Puerto Rico or the philippines All our char
rights being taken away. The Governor
sent an emergency message for charter revision
commission. They said they did not want 70 amend
the charter piecemeal yet two hundred bills
amending it have reached me this session. Thirty
five of them came down in one day. We have no
control franchises. the Mayors veto is
not worth anything We have no rights at all
We are a mere colony under the State government
and in time the people of the city going 10
unanimously against such a system"
May ask question - piped Alderman Bridges

hear any man present than you"
Felix Campbell said that II the city OF Brooklyn
pany S5.000G00 TO depress the tracks. Brooklyn
would be $50 100000 better off to-day
The hearing then closed the Mayor not say
ing whether he would sign or dsapprove the bill.
Hearings were given by the Mayor on a number OF
institutions from assessments for street improve
ments. but he said he would veto all such bills.
