Eleven ColIieries Out of Thirteen

NEW YORK, Sept. Nv. v. S.
Thorne director of the Pennsylvania
Coal company, made this statement to-
day, after a talk with the company s
mine superintendent over the long dis
tance wire:
I'VE operate thirteen coilieries, and all
but two are closed. This strike appears
to be quite general throughout the min
ing districts. Many men have reported
at our mines, but hardly enough to justify
working the two collieries, SO that it is
probable that they will be closed. The
tie-up will doubtless last a week, and
then the men will begin to get dissa It's
fed and will want to return to work The
miners have no grievances, and, as far
as we can learn, they have not sufficient
resources to carry on a protracted strike.
The miners received on an average OF
So 40 and receive yearly on an average of
about $780, I have never seen eight-year-
old boys or girls at work in the mines.
The miners are asking for an increase of

orators can hold out for at least six

HARRISBURG. Pa, Sept IL. The strik-
ing miners at Lykens and Wiconisco are
bringing strong pressure to bear upon the
men at Wi5liamstown to join them, and
thereby suspend the operation of every
colliery in the Lykens valley region. Ly.
kens and Wiconisco refused to support
the Willamstown miners when they struck
in 1885 against a reduction of wages, and
the latter now refuse to yie-d to the de-
nands of the former to quit work. This
is the first strike in the Lylkens region
in twenty-four years. and every precau-
ton is being taken by the authorities to
prevent clash between the union and

DEkRT. OF WAR NEWS.
A Temporary Peace Seems to Prevail
 on the Rnttlehelds.

London, Jan. i0.-Again there is a dearth of news. Since Saturday a tenn porary peace seems to have descended on the various fields of war.
 General French has made q reconnois- sance toward Achtertang, which lies on the east of Colesberg, making the Boers retire..
 General Gatacre gives no sign, and General Methuen's force is still lying in trencned on the Modder river.
 No further news of General Whites victory has come through, and it is yet to be learned at what cost it was purchased by the garrison.
 From Colenso comes intelligence of General Buffers demonstration on Satur- day, which emphasizes the fact that the Boers are conducting their campaign with great cunning and skill.
 When, with the faint hope of drawing off some of the Boers from the attack on Ladysmith, General Clery led out strong force of cavalry and guns, his left having as its objective Doornkop and his right Hlangwana mountain, the Boers re- fused to disclose their strength.
 They evidently were in their trenches and in Colenso itself, but though both brigades advanced well up to the posi- tions where the battle had ragged most fercely more than three weeks ago there was no animated response to the British challenge. Even when the artillery came within l. POO yards of the Boer rifles and General Clery himself rode close to the Tugela the trenches remained silent.

 Where did Spain get the right to sell her rights in the Philippines?' he asked. Where did the United States get the right to buy and sell people like sheep?"
 He declared the Filipinos had the Span iards hemmed in in Manila, and the latter were obliged to surrender. He quoted General Otis, Admiral Dewey and other officers to show that when Aguinaldo ar rived in Luzon from Hongkong the insur- gents had an army of 30.000. that in the island of Luzon the Filipinos maintained courts. schools, municipal governments and churches, and that peace and order prevailed pSstty generally.
