Wilkesbarre. Pa, May S1.-President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
returned to this city to-day after a
weeks absence in the West, and i'm
mediately his headquarters at the Ho-
tel Hart acquired an appearance of ao-
tivity which was not noticeable during
his visit to Indianapolis.
Mr.. Mitchell said his trip to the West
had nothing to do with bringing about
q settlement of the strike in the an
thracite region. No peace conference
had been held and none was contem-
plated. He said the plan of holding a
convention of hard and soft coal miners
to decide what action the bituminous
men should take in the anthracite
strike was still an open question; he
did not know what the sentiments of
the bituminous men were on the sub
tect; that would be found out when the
convention was held.
The following circular was issued
from strike headquarters tonight:
Reports received from all sections
of anthracite regions indicate that
many companies principally individual
operators, will concede eight-hour day
to firemen, engineers and pump-men;
and where eight-hour day is refused
very large proportion of firemen, en-
gineers and pump-men will cease work
Monday morning. Advise all mine
workers to exercise great precaution
and vigilance that there be no viola

Chicago, May 31.-The steamsters'
strike to-day spread to the depart
ment stores. Eighty-nine men work
ing for the Fair struck, and it was
stated that 400 more men employed by
other big downtown stores would be
out by night The effect, it is said,
will be to practically shut off the de-
livery of goods to customers and the
bringing in of new stock. The de-
partment store teamsters' union was
recently formed and is affiliated with
the national organization on the same
footing as the one at the stock yards.
The men make the same demand as
do the packers teamsters, for better
hours, higher wages and recognition of
the union.
Police were called to guard the Fair.
Jacob Kessner, the manager of the es-
tablishment, attempted to address the
teamsters. Their business agent, how
ever, told Mr.. Kessner that he would
have to talk to the mems agent, and
that he could not talk to the men.
II don't recognize you," said Mr..
Kessner.
At this the business agent blew a
whistle and the teamsters 60 a man

the Party with Attitude of Demo-
Gratis.
Detroit, May 31.-The Light Guard
Armory rang tonight with Republic
can sentiments uttered by leading men
of that party at the seventeenth an
nual banquet of the Michigan Repub-
lican Club. Secretary of the Navy
Moody was the principal speaker. He
said he regarded the gathering as one
of many tokens of the opening of the
national campaign and declared that
the Republican party did not shrink
from scrutiny of its stewardship. There
was not in all political history such a
record of promises performed and
pledges redeemed.
How much help had the government
had from the Democracy in bearing
great burdens? Their policy had been
one of snarling criticisms, he said:
They had even charged the gentle and
pure-minded Mckinley with an ambi-
ton for an imperial crown" One
could not but recall the Democratic
denunciation of the Republican policy
toward Porto Rico, yet the fruit
of that policy had been to
give liberty, intelligent self government
and equal justice to people who had
known only tyranny.
Again, he said, one might search all
recorded history and find no parallel to
the treatment of Cuba by the United
States.
Secretary Moody closed with an ap-
peal to his hearers to suspend judg-
ment upon the American soldiers in the
Philippines until the other side was
heard" saying that the President would
punish any proved misconduct.

no pooling agreement on the part of
