FACETS FIGHT WITH GRoBELER
Details OF the Engagement at Pien-
aars River station

PRETORIA, Oct "Details OF the fight
between a portion of General Paget's force
and the Beers at Pienaars River Station on,
the morning of September q, have been
received here.
Grobeler's commando. assisted by the
Waterberg and the Petersburg COM
mandos. attacked in the early morning
and maintained a heavy fusillade for three
hours. The enemy had no heavy guns.
Two guns of the Thirty eighth Battery
threw shrapnel into their camp with great
effect. The enemy retired. leaving four
killed on the field. The only British cas-
uality was one wounded.
During the fight two men of the Nun
ster Fusiliers were made prisoners by the
Beers and-were compelled to attend to
two wounded Beers. The enemy upon re-
tiring left behind both wounded and pris-
oners.
The brunt of the defence was borne by
the Australians and the protectorate
regiments The enemy's strength was
estimated at 1,160. The attack is said
to have been simultaneous with the in
auguration of the ,armistice between
General Paget and Commandant Eras-
mus, and the former could not move
troops freely.

now at work in the mines are engaged in
cleaning Up preparatory to taking out
their tools this evening.
Considerable excitement prevails in the
district between Tamaqua, Lansford, and
Coal Dale over the strike. Thus far there
has been no violence reported. In the vi
cinity of Shenandoah everything is quiet.
The troops are becoming restless over
their enforced inactivity. Many want TO
go home
Between here and Centralia the Mid
valley and Natalie coIlieries are in opera
tion. Before the strike 2,200 men and
boys were employed at those mines.
Less than 400 are now at work, and
their number is daily being iessened by
strikers prevailing on the men to cease
work OF all the cellieries in the Ninth

ton. still continues working full
The miners at Lykens have not return
ed to work. while those employed at

fight in the lower SchuyikiiI district was
won, and that victory was in the air.

OPERATORS OFFER IGNORED.
HnzIeton Miners Regard the Propo-
sition With Suspicion.


HAzLETON. Pa. Oct. 2.-The an
nouneement made by the Lehigh VAL
ley Coal Company last night that it was
willing to pay its mine employees net
increase of 10 per cent over the wages
heretofore received; that the price OF
powder will be reduced, and that the
company was willing to take up any
grievances with its employees. was posted
at ali the collieries of the company N
this region. Thus far, however. it has
proven ineffective.
The company's collieTies are working
this morning with about the same num-
Der of hands it has been able to muster
during the last few days. The trouble
with the announcement made by the Le-
high Valley Company is that the strikers
say there is string to the offer as 1t
makes this somewhat ambiguous promise.
Strikers say that the promise of reduc-
ton in the price of powder is entirely too
vague, and that they will have to have
something more specific before they will
return to work,
While the large companies throughout
the entire anthracite region have nearly
all now made the 10 per cent advance Of
fer, the individual operators say they can
not and will not do so.
1t is understood that meetings between
operators and the representatives OF the
carrying companies are going on today in
New York and WfIkesbarre and upon the
outcome will depend whether or not the
individual operators will join the compa-
nas in making advance in wages President
Mitchell, of the Union Mine Workers, said
this morning, that the offer Of the Lehigh
Valley would make no difference at all and
| efforts to close every eolliery III the dis
trict would continue and he felt confident
that this could be accomplished before
long.

MINERS DECISION AWAITED.
Coal Companies to Take No Further
Action for Se-eraI Days.

Coal Companies to Take No Further
Action for seEeraI Days.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-TWO of the big
coaI companies. the Reading and the Le-
high Valley, having offered an increase
in wages to their employees who are out
on strike, the companies, these two IN
cluded, according to officers here, will
wait for few days TO ascertain whether
or not the men are inclined to accept the
new terms and return to work.
If the men announce themselves as sat
isfed with the 10 per cent advance offered,
the other companies will follow the exam
pie of the two in all probability and tho
strike viii be ended in short order. What
the companies will do if the men do not ac-
eept has not been decided upon.
Vice President Sayre, of the Lehigh VAL
ley Company, when seen today, said that
the company was inclined TO believe that
many of the men would return to work on
the new terms as soon as they came to un-
derstand them fully. and he was inclined to
believe that the miners would decide that
the company's offer was a very fair one
after they had talked 1t over among them
selves
Several coal men declared today that tbs
companies had not decided what course
they would pursue in case the miners did
not accept the terms offered. They said
that so far as they knew, no operator had
| even suggested the Offering of a greater ad-
vance than 10 per cent. The independent
operators have not only not talked OF
granting greater increase, but they have
insisted that they cannot grant the 10 per
cent unless the big coal carrying roads
which handle their output agree to give
them the benefit of lower freight rates
delegation of these Independent op-
orators was in this city today for the
I purpose of comforting with the railroad
| officers on this point. 1t was said that
they would assert that they could not
! offer the terms already proclaimed by
| their big rivals and that they would try
| to have some sort of an agreement made
which would not make it necessary for
! them to close their mines.

WEST END MINERS YIELDING.
Prospect That the Three Reading
CoIIieries VIII BE Tied Up.

FREMONT. Pa, Oct. News from the
three Reading collieries in the West End,
Schuylkill region, shows that they resum-
ed work as usual this morning fu1I-handed
on ten hours. They are the Brookside,
Good Spring, and Lincoln collieries. About
200 of their employees live here and a big
mass meeting is booked for tonight. All is
quiet.
The miners have little to say but it is
feared by business men that union viii
be formed tonight strong enough to tie
up the collieries in few days. They pro-
duce about 175 cars or about 1000 tons of
coal a day. Many strike emissaries have
arrived here
Later in the day 100 miners quit in No. 8
slope at Brookside. the first break in the
West End. 1t is now probable that the
three collieries there will be closed down in
a short time. Quiet missionary work is
having its effect.

MINNEAPOLIS. Oct 2.-Mr. Bryan got
an early start this morning for another
days campaigning. He left this city at
$50 O'Clock. his destination being La
Crosse. Wis. which he will reach tonight
The Democratic standard-b bearer will
make several short stops en route His
longest speech during the journey will be
at Winona MINI.
The Bran train arrived in Belle Plain,
Mimi, on schedule time. The car in
which the Democratic candidate Travelled,
however, WAS minus the flags and other
decorations on one side. VandaIs stripped
the ear during the night. while it was
standing in the yards in this city.
Bryan addressed $4,000 people between
and II p. N. last night, in Minneapolis
and St Paul, and the greatest enthusiasm
was displayed at the Twin Cities.
Thirteen meetings are on today's sched-
ule. The principal points to be visited are
Mankato and Winona, Ia this State, and
La Crosse. Wis.
Mr.. Bryan will have an easy day tomor-
row as there are only four meetings
! scheduled, at Portage, Columbus. Water
| town, and Waukesha, all in Wisconsin.
The first stop today was at shakopee.
where a short rear r-platform address was
made.
Mr. Bryan is greatly pleased with the
warmth of his receptions in Minnesota
and the intense interest aroused by his
| discussion of the campaign issues. The
! Nebraskan's welcome in Minneapolis
reached the proportions Of an ovation.
! Twelve thousand people cheered him to the
/ echo when he took the platform for his
| speech in Exposition Hall last night and
/ the greetings rendered him at other points
along the line of yesterdays tour were
most cordial
Mr.. Bryan expects TO reach Indianapolis
j Thursday morning unless there is some un-
looked-for interruption of the schedule.
| 1t is confidently anticipated that his ad-
| dress before the National Association of
Democratic Clubs will be one of the great
est of his efforts during the campaign and
that his eIoquence viii stir the younger
element of the party to increased
effort for the common cause. Mr.,
Bryan will be received in Indian
| apoiis with one of the greatest
demonstrations that city has ever wiz
messed The desire to hear him has al
ready drawn hundreds from all parts of
the country. who viii participate in the
convention of the clubs, and add to the
fervor Of the ovation that will be rendered

Although Mr.. Bryan is doing great
amount OF speaking during his Western
tour, he shows no i'll effects and he is saw
| ing strength for the Eastern campaign,
| upon the advice OF his friends who are
anxious that he shall be in the finest fettle
when he trains his guns on the advocates
of trusts and Imperialism in that section
of the country.
Mr.. Bryan has again demonstrated that
he is a marvel in campaign work and can
do more speaking without suffering in a
physical way than many of his opponents
who are stumping the Western field. New
ertheless, the Nebraskans advisers are
insisting that his ardor shall net be per-
mitted to overstep the proper bounds and
