WILKESBARRE, Pa, May 2O.-
president John Mitchell Of the United
Mine Workers of America arrived here
shortly after o'clock last night and
established strike headquarters at tho
Hotel Hart. He was met at the station
by several of the local leaders, who
held brief conference with him. Tho
national president spent quiet though
busy day in his quarters at Hazleton.
he had no visitors and sale he had no
news to give out. He added. however,
that as far as the miners side of the
controversy was concerned the situa-
tion had not changed in the least.
On the run up from Hazleton Mr..
Mitchell's attention was called to the
fact that the city of Philadelphia had
contracted for a supply of bituminous
coal to take the place of the anthracite
which had been cut off by the railroad
companies furnishing it. In reply to
question as to whether the mine work.
ers would attempt to prevent the ship.

proposition in general way, will say
that we do not desire to make any city
a victim or have any person suffer be-
cause of our quarrel with the coal COM
panies."
He was pressed for more explicit
statement, but he refused to 60 into it
any deeper except that it was matter
which would have to he settled by the
three executive boards of the anthra-
cite fields.
They will meet here on Wednesday.
Judging by the actions of the union
during the last strike when efforts
were made to stop the shipment Of
soft coal into anthracite territory, it is
not unlikely that the miners may take
similar action within the next few
days.
Two carloads of foreigners have left
the HaZleton region. Most of them
were booked for New York, whence
they will sail for their native lands.

ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

New Castle, May 2O.-The drown
ing of the two shad fishermen il
still the general topic here as tht
river men are keeping close watcl
for the bodies of the men. Amonl
those here yesterday who talked
about the drowning of Samuel and
Harry Rodman was Paris Pedrick OF
Pennsville. He and his companion
were within one hundred feet OF
where the poor men met their un-
timely death. AS the yacht Marietta
lowered upon the men in their boat
Pedrick heard them shout "For
Gods sake keep clear of the boat,
cut the net but save U.S." Then one
of the fishermen began cutting the
net but after they turned their boat
around the captain steered direct
for the boat instead of steering in
the opposite direction. After the
yacht struck the fishermen's boat it
was carried for nearly thirty faith
1ms on her bow. So far as Pedrick
could see no effort was made to an
swer the cries for help from the
men as they struggled in the river
until after they disappeared for the
last time. Pedrick and his assistant
rowed towards the unfortunate men
but they sank before they reached
them. Ira Ale and Robert Strimple
are other men who talked freely
Aesterday about the Marietta. These
men are among those who have
made affidavits in the case to Bird
and Sanborn, who represent the
surviving friends Of the two men.
