EFFECTS OF THE STRIKE.
Railway Employees Already Suffering
Mines to BE PatroIIed

SCRANTON, Pa, May 16-The general
strike of the mine workers was quietly en-
tered upon in the Lackawanha valley this
morning, the thousands of workmen stay
ing away from the mines with the same
unanimity they manifested on Monday,
when the suspension order was effective.
To-day orders were given to remove all
mules from the mines to the outside barns
and pasture lands, and until otherwise or
dered the company hands allowed by the
union to remain at work TO protect property
will bend every energy to the removal of
articles which a flooding of the mines
would destroy should the strike order be
extended TO the fremen, engineers and
pump runners.
This morning only a few of the washery
employees reported at the three Lackawan-
ma washeries, and a feeble effort was made
to keep them going. These men claim they
sition they are to take in the strike, and
are awaiting the return from Hazleton of
District President Nichols and the execu-
tive board members of district No l.
The companies here have canvassed their
office force to ascertain who will serve as
special officers or work in the washeries,
and it is also understood that the big COM
panies have provided for an emergency that
might lead to the mines being flooded by
the calling out of the men necessary to keep
them free of water. Arrangements are also
in progress for the patrolling of all mining
property and the preventing of women and
children from gathering coal on the culm
dumps. mo trespassing on company prop

Queensland for the murder of two con-
stables, Doyle and Dalke. After the kill
ing the bodies were dismembered and
placed on a followed rock where they were
burned
Governor Lee Hunt, of New Guinea, has
held an investigation into the murder of
Rev. James Chalmers and Rev. G. T.
Tompkins by the natives The murderers
have been located and will be punished.
The natives told the Governor that they
killed the missionaries in accordance with
their customs and not for revenge. 1t is
thought that MessrS. Chalmers and Tomp-
kins arrived just before the time set for a
cannibal feast and that they were killed
for that purpose. The skull of Chalmers
was received, but the natives refused to
give up that of Tompkins.
In one village zoo skulls were found and
in another 400 skulls.
News has been received in Brisbane of
the murder of Mrs. Wolff, wife of Rev.
Hedwig Wolff, and her infant by natives
at Paparatava, in German New Guinea
The pursuit of the guilty tribe was ener-

of the district were destroyed in the neigh
borhood of Paparatava, which was cleared
of natives. About ninety natives were

Raised Fifty Cents a Ton and May Go
Higher in a Few Days.

PHILADELPHIA, May 16-As result or
the strike In the anthracite coal region re-
tail coal dealers here to-day advanced the
prices of domestic sizes so cents ton. 1t
was announced that unless there is some
evidence within a few days of an early set
tIement of the difficulty in the coal regions
another advance of so cents will be made.
The dealers are outstanding their stock OF
hard coal which. in most cases is limited,
and it is stated that many consumers of the
steam sizes have been induced TO accept
hituminous coal instead of anthracite.
Steps were taken to-day by dealers VINO
had not anticipated the continuance OF the
strike TO secure a large supply of soft coal.
The present strike found many dealers un-
prepared because of the fact that in March
they permitted their supply TO run low, an
ticipating the usual April decline in price.
When their orders were placed for April
delivery in many instances not more than 40
per cent of the coal had been received
when the strike declaration prevented
further delivery by the coal-carrying COM
NAMES.

INQUIRY POSTPONED.
Beef Packers Said to Be Opposing An
Investigation.

ALBANY, May 16.-The attorney general,
in asking for an adjournment Of the beef
trust inquiry to-day, declared that he had
been informed frequently by the attorneys
of the packers that they would welcome a
judicial investigation, they could salts
factorily explain the rise in the price or
beef. He also Informed the court that he
had been furnished with documents by the
various firms, in which they declared the
advance was primarily due TO the in
creased prices OF corn. 'I am prepared TO
prove" he continued, that illegal agree
ments were entered into by these men at a
time when corn was not bringing half as
much as il does now. The developments of
the last few days have convinced me that
the companies are afraid of a judicial in
qury and their representatives have placed
themselves outside the jurisdiction of the
court" The inquiry was postponed.

The report of Prof. jerks of Cor
nell University shows that the pres
ident made no mistake when he
chose Prof. jerks to 60 to the Phi
lippines, and the colonies of Great
Britain and Holland in the East, TO
study the industrial and economic
conditions, and thus furnish data
for future legislation. Exact know
ledge of the existing conditions was
what was needed, and this is what
Prof. Jenk's report gives. He
gives a report from partisan
standpoint, and as his qualifications
as a judge in such matters, cannot
be doubted, many of his statements
in regard to the Philippines are
very comforting assurances. He
says that the Philippines already
enjoy self-government in a greater
measure than any Oriental depend
ency of England, France or Hol-
land. The system of government
which we are now working out for
them will bring them much nearer
the American ideal of freedom than
their own revolutionary leaders had
hoped to bring them. Prof. jerks
says that for the good of the Fiji
ipinos themselves, the resources of
the country must be developed, and
to do this he advises the import
alton of Chinese laborers. He says
and other observers have stated
the same thing, that the Filipinos
cannot be used for common labor,
and hence his idea of importing
Chinese laborers. The Chinese
should be kept strictly to the enter
prises for which they are imported
of course, in order not to hurt the
Filipino labor. American COM
mon sense, which has served so well
in so many cases, is what is needed
now to make the Philippines what
they should be.
