Shenandoah. Pa, Aug. 25.--Much i'm
portance is attached to the calls General
Goblin receives from coal mine operators
who spend hours with the general in 60
ing over the strike situation. After hay
ing met number of operators General
Goblin said to-day that he does not see
any signs of a settlement. In fact, he
states that all indications point more
definitely to a prolongation of the strike
now than they did when he first reached
here. 49,
He keeps in touch with the strikers as
we'll as the operators, and may be seen
Of his staff Along the road he frequently
holds conversations with the miners, all
of whom display friendly feeling toward
him personally. There is no i'll feeling
here against the soldiers. y
Individual operators are beginning to
display evidence of willingness to end
the strike If a method could be shown
by which they could make concessions
to the men without stultifying them
selves. In speaking with members Of the
staff at brigade headquarters some have
within the past ten days stated that If a
way could be suggested whereby they
could give in without placing themselves
In a bad light they would favor a settle
ment. General Goblin is using his good
Offices toward a settlement, and he allows
no opportunity to pass when in conference
with operators to make a conservative
plea for the men on strike.

A Mob OF Strikers Gets After Him But
He VIII Recover.
Hazleton, Pa, Aug. 25.-August
Scheuch aged Sc years, special police
man in the service of the Lehigh Valley,
Coal company; was assaulted and stabbed
on the outskirts Of the city to- day while
attempting to rescue his son, William
Sheuch, nonunion workman employed at
the"conpany's- No.. 40 colliery. from q mob
Of about 5000 strikers who had gathered
from all parts of the Hazleton region on
the roads leading to the mine to Illustrate
the plans Of the company for a partial
resumption of operations with nonunion
force of 250 hands.
A majority Of the nonunion men were
taken to the workings in special train
with which the strikers did not attempt
to interfere. William Sheuch, who lives
in this city, walked from his home toward
the colliery and thus fell into the hands
Of the pickets. Most of the clothing was
torn from his back in the struggle which
followed. When Sheuch's father rushed
to his aid the mob set upon the elder
Sheuch who was finally rescued by mine
foreman and removed to the miners hos
pital.
Sheuch was stabbed in the breast and
on each hip, kicked in the abdomen and
struck on the head with a stone. His in
iuries are not very serious. The knife
rib and that fact probably saved his life.
The effort to prevent work at the mine
was successful.
The report of a resumption at the Gran
berry colliery of A. .Pardee & Co. caused
about 500 men to gather near the mine
o-day, but no attempt was made to start
work.

Comment on the Presidents

London, Aug. 25.-The newspapers here

little comment upon the subject thus far.

Which One They Do Not Mention
Some Interesting Fall Elec-

From, Tho Journal Bureau, Room Do. Po's
Bnildinq, Washington.
Washington, Aug. 25.-1t is singular
fact that the democratic congressional
campaign managers who are familiar
with the conditions in all parts of the
country are expecting the biggest gains
this year in the eastern states. They con-
fess that with the exception of two dis
tricts in Kansas. one In Missouri, one In
Iowa and one in Minnesota, the demo-
Gratis do not hope to increase their repre-
senta tion in the next congress from the
west; but they profess to be very hope
full regarding the outlook in Pennsylvania,
New York New Jersey. Massachusetts
and West Virginia.
AS indicating the reliability Of this
statement 1t is noted that the democrats
are sending more speakers into New Eng
land and the east than for a number OF
campa igns past.
