LONG WIRE FROM MICHEL
Tells the President the situation-work
To Be Thorough.


To Be Thorough.
Washington, Oct. 17.-There was re-
ceived at the White House last night
quite long telegram from President
Mitchell, of the U. NJ. W., In reply to
message the president had wired
him giving the final result of the strike
agreement. Mitchell's response gave
what had been done in Wilkesbarre
yesterday toward declaring the strike
off, 1t was received at the White
House too late to be laid before the
president last night. Acceptances Of
places on the committee have been re-
ceived from Parker and some other
members of the commission.
The work of the commission will be
exhaustive and will take considerable
time. 1t is the presidents desire that
the inquiry be very thorough and that
the commission perform the labors set
before 1t so completely as to secure
ent troubles but also to furnish a
basis upon which similar great labor
troubles may be averted in the future.
When Mitchell made his appearance
at the White House Wednesday morn
ing he was disposed to accept without
question several of the men suggested
by the president, but he was insist
ent that organized labor be distinctly
recognized and in this view he was
heartily supported by the president
himself. 1t is understood that Bishop
Spalding, of Peoria, was the presi-
dents personal choice for a place on
the commission, and his selection was
particularly pleasing to Mitchell, as he
has known the bishop intimately. The
appointment of z. +. Clark was un-
doubtedly the suggestion of Mitchell
himself. He is at present the chair
man Of the Railway Employees FEEDER

to be a millionaire.

TALK OF RESUMPTION OF WORK
Probable Next tn thursday, but May Go Owe
Until Friday.

Probable Next Thursday, but May Go Over
Until Friday.
If the plans of the strike leaders
are not disarranged a general resump-
tion of mining win take place about
next Thursday 1t is expected that
the convention will last two days, and
that there Will be an interval of one
day from the time the convention adj
journs until the time set for the men
to go back TO the mines. If the con-
vention should be in session on
Wednesday IL is probable that resump-
ton would not take place until Fri
day. There viii not be enough work
at first for all the strikers, as it is
the intention of the companies not to
dismiss non-union men, who bave
stood by Them during the strife. The
Organization will take care of such
other men as are unable to find work.
1t is estimated that all the strikers
will not find work until two or three
months have elapsed. This. is due to
the conditions of the mines. Some Of
them are wholly or partly flooded, and
other need repairing. The coal compa-
mics. anticipating the ending of the
strike are busily engaged in prepar-
ing for resumption. 1t is estimated
that more than 200 of the $50 col
lieries will be in operation by the end
of next week. and will produce enough
coal to relieve the situation.
A Scranton dispatch says that of the
ninety-eight coilieries operated by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western,
the Delaware and Hudson the Tenn
ple the Erie, and the Ontario and
Western companies. the five big scar
riers" having headquarters there. ONLY
two, the Butler at Pittston and the
HalIstead at Duryea, which were al
lowed to food, cannot be reopened at
once, which means within a week from
the time the strike is declared of. At
sorty-four of these places some work
has been going on.
The fact that there are only 10000
non-union men at work, and that TO-
900 of the striking miners have left the
Scranton region or gone into other en-
pioyment, and will never return to the
mines, and the further fact that the
collieries will be operated to their full
est capacity, are certain to prevent any
possibility of conflict arising between
union and non-union men, because OF
the one crowding out the other.

ably certain that the advice will be
followed and the great struggle brought
to a close. The convention will be
convened in this city Monday morning.
and it is the hope and the belief of
the officers Of the union that the min
ing of coal will be resumed before the
close of next week after a suspension
of more than five months.
Mitchell Declares His Adhesion.
From the time the news was received
late Wednesday night until about about
10 a. m. yesterday there was some
doubt as to how the miners would
receive the modified plan. President
Mitchell was pressed by the cor.
respondents for a statement, and final
ly at 10 a. m he issued a bulletin, of
which the following is the material
part: Il was unalterably opposed to
the acceptance of or acquiescence in
The form of settlement proposed by the
coal operators. because it restricted the

When this was read to the arriving
district leaders and groups of miners
who came to headquarters that Mitch
ell was willing to accept tine modified
plan, and from that time on there
was no doubt that the strike would be
brought to speedy close. At p. m.

The latter discrimination is said to

Captain John G. Capers, United States

of the Republican party in this state
on the negro question. He said: 1.-The
organization and operation of political
parties upon purely racial classification
is to my mind wholly inconsistent with
the spirit of our government, requiring,
as our government does, well defined
duties and responsibilities from all Of
its citizens.
Northern Negroes Are to Blame.
''In the exercise Of citizenship, when
the negro asserts a right and demon
strates that it rests upon intelligence
and character rather than upon race
prejudice, or fancied and unearned dis
tinctiOn, his right should be respected
as an American citizen, regardless of
his color. In politics the negroes trou-

WRESTLING AT KERNAN'S.
Luttburg Pinned Two Locals to the Mat
In Five Minutes.

Max Luttburg. who claims the light
weight wrestling championship. and is at
Kernau's Lyceum this week to meet all
comers, showed his cieverness last night
by pinning two men to the mat inside OF
five minutes.
The first man to try his skill was Fish
er. of Georgetown. who stayed with Lutt-
burg long enough for the latter to get an
''armhold" and crotch when he was
down in flying fall. and this took Lutt-
burg less than a minute to do.
Then came Bobby" Akers, a clever
wrestler. and the trainer of Joe +. Grant
Some one had told Luttberg OF Akers'
cleverness. and the former took no
chances with hos man. for after a few
minutes of footwork Luttburg got his man
to the mat and secured q decision on a
flying fall after two minutes actual
wrestling. Against this kind of fall the
loser protested. and Luttbury agreed to
again wrestle him. and in two and one
hali minutes he got a fall out OF Akers on
a bar-hammer" and half Nelson"
This afternoon Z. C. Vernon will be
given 4 chance to try his skill and to-
night Joe Grant. who stayed the limit on
Thursday night. will go on again with
Luttburg. and an interesting exhibition of
the art OF wrestling is expected.

After the inter-city set. the locals. to
sec how game the visitors were, bantered
them to single game, and the Orioles
accommodated them. and beat the Poto
macs by the overwhelming score of 96l TO
si3. Then they all sat down to a gener-

all happened.
Miller. of the Potomacs, had best aver
age, with $50. bowling a steady, consist

Eiker next with 172 average. and 2l0 as
best single game. and Radcliffe was fourth
with 1863 average on the set. Miller was
clever on spare work. and picked the best

Of $40.

played in order to more decisiveiy set

NOTES OF THE DAY.

Alack was tiring very rapidly in the
last race OF the day and swerved badly,
but the horses behind him were also very
tired and Alack won. Creamer's finish
on the horse was good one.
Merry Hours looked hopelessly beaten
when she turned into the stretch, and il
was only by dint OF hard riding and perse-
verance that Smith landed her a winner.
His finish was a splendid effort and he
won well-earned victory.
Trump was consistent yesterday. He
had won on Wednesday and was therefore
due to have view of the race from be-
hind, and he did.
Landry had the best day he has had at
the meeting. winning the only two races
in which he had mounts. The other
events we're divided between Booker.
