Philadelphia, Oct. 13.-George f.
Ter, president OF the Reading Railway
lmpany. left the Reading Terminal at
20 o'clock this morning, and went di-
ct to the Office of President Cassatt,
the Pennsylvania railroad, in Broad
'eet station. Gneral Louis Wagner
so entered the Office of President Cas-
tt a few minutes later. 1t is not
own what significance General Wag-
RS visit has, or wnat is the mo-
re of the conference between the two
1 esidents. Il 81
Senator Quay left the Hotel Walton
o'clock, and it is not improbable
at he, too, is in conference at Presi-
Mt Cassatt's office
/. Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 1S.-J. Pier
mt Morgan has the consent Of Presi-
mt John Mitchell and District Presi-
nts Nichols, Fahey and Duffy Of the
iited Mine Workers, to agree to the
dings of a commission appointed by

mands made by the miners
Hazleton, Pa, Oct 13.-The local
moGy, where Colonel Bowman, Of the
rst Regiment, has his headquarters,
Is stoned early today. The sentries
sponded with three shots into the air,
d the stoning ceased.
Wilkesbarre. Pa, Oct. 13.-Nothing
at is new developed in the strike
ruation here. Not one soldier was
Mt out from the camp located in
is city. There are rumors in circu-
ton that an extraordinary effort will
made this week to start the col
,ries, but NO information to this eff
ct can be learned from the com
.nies here. An order to make extra
,ort to resume operations ema-
ted from New York, and the SUI
,rintendents viii! try to carry it out.
ne strikers and citizens generally
not expecting anything to develop
the strike affected territory, but
e eagerly following events in New
ork and Washington. There is a
cling, which is growing quite gen
al, that some development in the di-
ction of settlement is near at hand
oday it looks as though there will
= very little or no increase in the
'oduction of coal during the week
ne miners are just as firm today in
cir declaration not to return to work
It'll they get some concession as
ey have been all along.
The appeal issued Saturday by the
merican Federation of Labor was re
lived with considerable satisfaction
the strikers, but there was consid
able discussion over the paragraph
the appeal which asserted that th'
iners were willing to leave thei
.se in the hands of ]. Pierpont Nor
IN. When Mr.. Mitchell's attention
as called to it he said it was al
ror Yesterday he refused to dis
ISIS it. It is evident there is SOM
istake, and that he does not ccr
call attention to it by discussing
e matter.
The talk of calling on the fedora
)vernment for troops to assist tn
ate militia is still heard. From cor
srsations with superintendents an
ilitary officers, the calling on tn
ational authorities is a remote poss
lity. National Guard officers do nc
Ike kindly to the suggestion and sa
lat the state guard should be trie
e It first before thinking about n;
onal soldiers. Brigadier Genera
obin does not take much stock
ie proposition. If It were found tha
ie Pennsylvania guard. was not su
.ient in numbers to control the 81
alton, he says he would favor r
uiting the state force up to twice il
re or to the number required to me'
10 situation, just as was done durin
le Spanish-American war. He say
lat the governor, under the laws, ca
it, and if the governor came to hi
n his advice that is what he woul
III iggest.
This morning two detachments
/ the regiments in the Lac1awanT
nd Wyoming Valleys were sent ol
patrol duty. They escorted a
orkmen to the collieries who want'
rejection.
