THE STRIKE SITUATION
END NOT IN SIGHT.
The Operators Preparing for a
Long Siege Erect Winter Quar-.
t6rS for Guards.

TAMAQUA, Pa, Sept. 10.-It became
evident here today that the coal opera
tors are not contemplating an early set
tlement of the coal strike, despite the
many.,rumors to the contrary. They are
now preparing for a long siege, as is
shown by the fact that the Philadelphia
and Reading Company, of which George
F. Bser is president, has issued orders
that winter quarters be erected for the
deputies on duty at the vorious col.
lieries. The men are also being sup
piled with blankets and heavy clothing.
There is but one construction to be
placed on this movement, the miners
here believe, and that is that the opera
tors heve determined to carry on the
war to the bitter end, and that any eff
forth on the part of politicians to obtain
concessions will be resisted.

MhIL FACILITIES
fl NEW PROPOSAL.
Return Envelopes and Postal Cards
Contemplated bv the AuthOri-
ties.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-One OF the
most important innovations in the
Postal Service in recent years is now
under consideration by the Post Office
Department.
The proposed service is known as the
return envelope and postal card system.
At present any one sending out lot of
circulars, inclosing am addressed postal
card, has no pay $40 thousand for the
postals and the cost of printing, and
statistics show that the returns rarely
exceed 10 per cent.
Under the new system it is proposed
to authorize the use of a special form of
envelope and postal card, which are to
be sold at a reasonable price per thous-
and. They will bear stamp designed
to show that they can be dropped in
the mail and carried to their destitation
where the postage will be paid by the
addressee before delivery.

TOLEDO, Ohio, September 10.-Mrs.
Johnson and Mrs. Eta Delaney, sisters,
living on Chase street, were in Police
Court today to air their troubles in con-
nection with hot biscuit duel that took
place last night.
The sisters. it appeared, were not on
friendly terms, and when Mrs. Delaney
started to.carry tray OF hot biscuits to
neighbor across her sisters lot the
latter attacked her. Mrs Delaney re-
taliated with rapid fire bombardment
of hot biscuits. The biscuits when
once brought into play were used by
both women as missiles until Mre.
johnson was worsted, and then she
caused the arrest of her sister
Police Judge Wachonheimer told the
sisters that they should put their bis
CUTS to better use and let them go. Mrs.
Delaney tossed her head Indignantly
and became angry when her biscuits
were pronounced as "hard as rock. ;"
The biscuits came through the duel with

When Million was formally transferred
to Murphy in County Judge Davis's of
fee after the sale and payment, Murphy
promptly reminded the hopeless negro
that he intended that he should work
and plainly intimated that if necessary
he would resort to the necessary meane
to compel him to do so.
At Murphy's request the vagrant was
sentenced to jail until Thursday morn
ing, when he will call for him at day
break and proceed to farm where he
has quite a large contract of &C Uncut

support of the party organization in his
own State by shuffling over the trust
question with few glittering generali-
ties and thus leaving him to fight his
battles alone.
This plan to place the President in
the position OF being at variance with
his party will not go unchallenged,
Among the delegates to the Republican
State. Convention will be men wha can
not be made to stand idly by while a
slight is being put upon him. They
purpose to defend him by every means
in their power, and it is certain that no
victory will be won over him by default.
When the President began to outline
his plan for dealing with harmful mono
polies,in his New England tour the trust
leaders told him that unless he aban-
doned his position he would bring dis
aster upon the party. They assured him
that his ideas were impracticable, and
that nothing could be done by legisla-
tion to curb the trust without causing
the ruin of business interests and
threatening the continuahce of pre-
sperty, which, they told him, should
be put forward as the leading issue of
the campaign.
Mr.. Roosevelt replied that sincere
effort must be made to regulate mono
poly and to destroy their evils by the
passage of laws. If was really i'm.
possible to reach them in this way he
insisted that the fact must be demons
trated and that it could be demonstra-
ted only by an honest trial. He pointed
out that he was not seeking to dstroy
the trusts, but to render them harm
less and he continued to elucidate his
plan in his speeches.
Reminding him that he was seriously
endangering his chances of nomination by
refusing to guided by them, they made
it plaid to him that he was DESTROYING
the Republican party by conceding the
the necessity for reguleting the trusts.
The Republican party will not regulate
the trusts and the President has given
the Democrats a potent argument.

His hdmISSiOn That Trusts OUGHT to Be Req
Udt6d Has Given the Democrats a
Powerful Weapon

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Under the
apparently placid surface of the Repu-
blicans in New York State, with its cut
and-dried program and its State ticket
nominated in advance ofthe convention,
a storm is brewing which treatens to
sweep Republicanism from its bearings
and divide its forces from Maine to Cali.
fornia
President Roosevelt is the storm GEN.
ter. BY forcing the trust issue into the
first place among the debatable ques-
tions of the political campaign he has
mortally offended J. P. Morgan and
T. G. PIatt. They have sought, both by
persuasion and by threats to diseude
him from advocating the control OF
trusts by Federal legislation, and re has
ignored them.
He has been given to understand that
if he insists upon telling the people that
the trusts can be made subservient to
the law, he may have to fight for the
presidency in 1904 He has replied that
his attitude toward the trusts was taken
without throught of its political effect,
but because he believed it to be right,
and that he intends to maintain it re
gardIess of his own political future.
Open expression of the powerful an
tagonisms that the President has arous-
ed by his trust policy has been confined
until now to the scarcely yelled attacks
upon it and him which have appeared
in the trust organs among the Repu-
blican newspapers.
The first gnn of the Republican anti.
Roosevelt campaign is being loaded and
shotted ready to be fired when the Re
publican State Convention meets in
Saratoga.
Senator Platt and the fnan ciers whom
he represents propose to deny to the
President in the State platform the in
dorsement for the presidential nomina-
tion in 1904 that has been accorded him
by the Republican State conventions of
California, Missouri, Pennsylvania,
Iowa and Delaware. They intend to go
further, and withhold from him the

II months, was sold at public outery, by
Deputy Seriff Briggs, in front of the

The most unusual thing connected
with the sale, and which probably has

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Complaint
has been made by Father McKeever ol
thetCatholic Church of St. Rose of Lima,
in Newark, n. j., that certain pay
sicians connected with the Newark City
Hospital have been eavesdropping while
Catholic priest was engaged in hear
ing the confessions of patients in that
that this was done on four different
occasions. He alleges that priest dis
covered a member of the house staff OF
physicians concealed behind screen by
which the beds of the patients ars sur
rounded, with the apparent purpose of
hearing what was passing between the
confessor and the patient.
It is alleged by the priest that ply
sicians almost prevented priest from
administering extreme JUNCTION to dy-
ing woman. He was summoned in
haste to house where young woman
was almost dead from escaping gas
When he reached the house a surgeon
had the woman in an mbulauce.
Father McKeever climbed into the
vehicle while it was being driven along
and administered the sacrament, but
could not complete the ceremony be-
cause the hands and feet of the patient
were covered, Father McKeever says
he appealed to the surgeon, but got no
reply, and thea called to stop the am
bulance until he could get out.
Father Mckeever submitted the facts
to DR.. Frank E. Baker, who was in
charge of the hospital, and DR.. Baker
promised to investigate. the priest al
leges. Doctor Baker said today that he
had no knowledge of Father McKeever's s
charges of eavesdropping, but admitted
that the father had made complaint of
his treatment in the ambulance. "There
is do doubt" DIR. Baker said, ''as to the
right. of a clergyman to be given every
opportunity to perform his spiritual OBJ
legations to the sick and dying"

RICHMOND, Ind, Sept. l0.-Miss
Mabel Palmer, a gypsy, and who is said
to be the reigning beauty of her tribe,
was arrested here today in company
with Newton Reynolds, also gypsy
and the brother-in-law of Miss Palmer.
They eloped August Is from Fairbury,
Neb., and their arrest here today was
caused by telegram from Fairbufy,.
signed by J. w. Morris, Deputy Sheriff,
stating that a warrant had been issued
there for Reynolds for abducting Miss
Palmer who is but Is years of age.
Reynolds is 26. The local police began
search for the couple yesterday, and
early this morning information wes re-
ceived that young man and girl
answering the description of the couple
had been stopping at a North end board
ing house since last Monday.
Patrolman Kuhlman went to the
house and found the couple in their
room. They had been living there aa
husband and wife. The CONSERVATION
of the couple was great when told that
they were under arrest, but they admit
ted that they were elopers and that the
dispatch received pertained to them.
They were well dressed, the girl hand
somely 80, and her great beauty was
generally commented upon when taken
to the City Hall before Chief Betzold.
Both were locked up, and will be de-
tanned until the arrival of officers.
The story tod by the girl to the police
is rather remarkable. She says that
Reynolds married her sister several
years ago, and that they have two chill
dren. Reynolds was attentive to her, bat
she vows that there was no love for him
upon her part, despite the fact that her
sister was suspicious and had accused
her husband of unwaranted attention
to her young sister.
On August Is, after wordy war, Rey-
nolds was ordered to leave the camp of
his tribe of gypsies. He did 90, and
meeting his sister-in-law told her what
had occurred and said that she had
been the cause of it all. 81 just told
him." said the girl, that if had
been the cause of all his trouble, and
he had been told to go, that would go
with him, and have kept my word.
Yes, know that we have been living
together as husband and wife, but as
true as there is God am aa pure as
when l left my tribe. am glad now
that we have been caught. for this
might not have gone always as it has
up to this time
Reynolds says that he has been max
lag q living by horse trading, but ad-
mits that for the past few days he has
had hard sailing. He is dressed we'll,
but had very little money when taken
in custody. He disclaims any wrong
doing on the part of either, but admit
ted that some time he might make the
girl his wife if be could be legally separ-
ated from his present wife. The police
department expects an officer here from
Nebraska tomorrow to take charge of
the couple.

down and all the glass in the house was
shattered.
The shock was felt here, eight miles
from where it occurred, and many peo-
pie were of the opinion that it was due
to an earthquake. The remarkable
thing about the occurrence was that 60
quarts of glycerin, which was in a boy
near the engine house, SO quarts in an.
other wagon about 20 yards from the
we'll and 100 quarts on top of the hin
above, did not explode. =
The rig caught fire and burned. The
engine house, tanks and every thing else
about the we'll that would burn, in addi.
tlon to several hundred barrels of oil
was destroyed. ''

PRESIDENT OPPOSED TO
STAND NEAR WHITE HOUSE
Encampment Parade Must Be Review
ed Elsewhere Unless the Rul
ing Is Reversed.

Acting Secretary of War Sanger has
approved the Recommendation contained
in report of Colonel Bingham. the engi-
neer officer in charge of public buildings
and grounds. denying the application of
the committee in charge of the arrange
ments for the coming reunion of the
Grand Army of the Republic for permis-
sion to erect two large grandsiands for
the accommodation OF visitors on the
Pennsylvania Avenue pavement in front
of the White House. Mr.. Sanger's action
is not necessarily final, and it is gen.
orally understood that an appeal will be
made to him for reversal of his de-
cision.
The action taken yesterday by the
Acting Secretary of War is due, it is
said, to the opposition Of the President
to the erection of any stands in front of
the White House except a small re-
viewing stand in the street Immediately
in front of the mansion.
1t is officially admitted that the Pres
idenr's opposition is due to the contrO-
versy that arose between the authori-
ties of the War Department and the To-
cal committee in charge of the arrange
ments for the Inauguration of Presiden,
Mckinley in March. 1901, over the pay
ment Oh damages 10 the gate piers al

contained in an official communication
received by Mr.. Appleton p. Clark, jr..
chairman of the local committee OH
stands, from Acting Secretary Sanger,
in which the reasons are given for the
disapproval of the application for per-
mission to erect the stands in front of
the White House.
The letter is withheld from the public
for the present at the request of Mr..
Clark, who. it is said. has hopes of Sc
curing reversal of the ruling of the
department upon further presentation
of the case TO Mr. Sanger.
