MINERS MAY NOT STRIKE.
They Begin to Feel That the OPer-

atOrs Desire n Test of Strength
and That President MithelI Is OPP
posed.
Scranton, Pa, May 10.-There Is a
strong sentiment among the miners in
this district that President Mitchell is
opposed to a strike and that no mat
ter how the operators may view it,
the mine workers union can afford to
refuse to engage in the conflict which
the men say the operators are inviting.
Most of the miners hereabouts had a
holiday on account of the semi
monthly pay day. The miners congre-
gated in groups at the hotels and
patch corners tonight and discuss
ed the question of making the strike
order permanent. On the Saturday
preceding the Monday on which the
1900 strike order took effect the mine
bosses worked like troians among
their personal friends in the ranks of
the miners to urge them against obey
ing the strike order. To-day the
bosses are religiously holding aloof
from their men.
There is absolutely no effort on The
part of the operators, as far as is ap-
parent here, to discourage a strike.
The miners realize this and are dis
posed to accept it as an evidence that
the operators are counting a. conflict.
This, coupled with the fact that the
rank and file are firmly convinced that
National President Mitchell is against
a strike will have strong influence
towards an anti-strike vote at the
meetings to be held Monday afternoon.
President Mitchell and the commit
teemen of the three districts held a
meeting this morning, but nothing was
made public as to what were their
deliberations. The committeeman left
for their homes this afternoon Pres
ident Mitchell is still here attending
TO his correspondence. He will leave
for Hazleton Tuesday afternoon. There
is no question but that the order to
temporarily suspend work on Monday
will be obeyed in the Scranton district
None of the companies expect any of
the men, except the engineers, fremen
and pump runners to report for work
Monday morning. The railroads have
laid off nearly all their coal crews and
will make efforts to run the washers
to supply culm coal for locomotives.

LIVINGSTON AND LESTER.
Subject of Torpedo Boats and the
Sub-Treasury.

SuD-Ir
Washington. May 10-Secretary
Moody has written a letter to Repre-
sentative Livingston, in reply to the
latter's request that one of the torpedo
boats. soon TO be placed in commits
sion, shall be located at Savannah.
Without intending to encroach upon
Representative Testers congressional
preserves, Representative Livingston
mentioned the subject to Secretary
Moody the day after the latter became
secretary of the navy, having served
with Mr.. Moody on the Appropriations
Committee. Mr.. Livingston felt at lib
erty to make the request in behalf Of
Savannah at an opportune moment
when it was possible that all the as
signments of torpedo boats would be
made before a formal proposition from
Savannah could be made.
As soon as Mr.. Livingston received
the letter of Secretary Moody, stating
that the subject would receive his ear
ly attention, it was shown to Repre-
sentative Lester. The Atlanta and
Savannah Congressman exchanged a
few pleasantries on the subject, and
Col. Lester expressed his gratitude for
the interest Mr.. Livingston has shown
in behalf of Savannah.
Look here, Livingston" said Col.
Lester, 1--WE will be glad to have tor
pedo boat assigned to Savannah. but
I'll tell you what 1 will do. 1 will give
Atlanta the torpedo boat if Atlanta in
return will give Savannah the sub
treasury"
You had better go and ask the
Committee on Ways and Means about
the subtreasury end of that deal"
replied Mr.. Livingston, good naturedly
as he strolled off up the aisle to re-
spond to a call from an anxious con-
stit1ant

THE SITUATION IN GUALALoUPE.
Fears There That La SOuRriere May
Become Active.

Become active.
Pointe-a- Pitre, Guadalupe, May 10.
The morning of May 5, Guadalupe
learned that the Mont Pelee volcano,
in Martinique. had been in eruption
since Saturday, May 8. throwing out
ashes. The same day violent thun-
derstorms began here. Tuesday a very
heavy storm occurred and loud detona-
tions were heard. At noon came a ru-
NOR that lava was flowing from Mont
Pelee and that 300 lives had been lost
at ST. Pierre. All that day were heard
here loud noises, like the discharge of
heavy artillery far off. 1t is now
known that these noises were from the
Martinique volcano. In the
afternoon the cable connections
with Martinique all disappeared.
A very heavy thunderstorm then broke
over Guadalupe and lasted for con-
siderable time, and rumors were cur
rent that the Souffriere volcano in
Guadaloupe was more active. The
earth was trembling at Basseterre and
volcanic tremblingS were heard. News
of the disaster in Martinique reached
here by the French war vessel Suchet
Friday morning. Nearly every one
mere mas relatives IN Martinique and
intense sorrow prevails. All the stores
here are closed and the flags are flying
at half mast. The mountains of Quad
aloupe are shrouded in thick clouds
and frequent heavy storms occurred
The people are on edge with anxiety,
fearing that La Souffriere may be-
come active. A light earthquake shock
or a slight increase in the usual smok-
ing of Souffriere would precipitate a
panic here. 1t is believed, however,
that there is no local danger.
