GENERAL STRIKE IS ORDERED
Complete Tis-Up Of Anthracite Mines Re-
suit of Long Deliberations.
MEN WILL QUIT WORK NEXT MONDAY
order is QuaIiaed So as TO Make
Permanency of Strike Incumbent
on Action of Committee
Wednesday.

SCRANTON, Pa, May "a general strike
OF the miners Of the anthracite regions has
been ordered for Monday next, but the
order has a reserve qualification attached.
The question as to whether the strike is
to be made permanent is left to the de-
cision OF a convention Of delegates OF all
the local organizations OF the mine workers
to be held at Hazelton next week.
The miners executive committees Of
three districts met this morning and had
three hours discussion. At its conclusion
President Mitchell gave out the following
statement:
Replies to our proposition to submit the
entire question In dispute to an Impartial
board OF arbitration have been receive
from President Baer of the Philadelphia
& Reading, President Thomas Of the Erie
wanna and President olyphant of the
Delaware & Hudson, all of whom refuse
to join us in the adjustment OF the dlner-
ences between us by the methods we pro-
pose.
At 4:S0 o'clock the committeeman again
assembled and remained in session until
1880 o'clock. When the session concluded
President Mitchell prepared statement
and, assembling the newspaper men at the
st. Charles hotel, read to them as follows
from a typewriter paper:
President MItcheIrs order.
To the Anthracite Mine Workers of
Pennsylvania: Gentlemen-The executive
committees of the anthracite mine work.
ers, who were delegated by the Shamokin
convention to represent you In the ne
gotiations with the railroad presidents
and mine operators for the purpose OF
obtaining increased wages, shorter hours
and better conditions OF employment, have
exhausted all pesceable, conciliatory and
honorable means at their command, and
have failed to secure any concessions OF a
tangible nature, and while under the reso-
lutions adopted by the Shamokin Conven-
tion authority was vested in the executive
tiations, to inaugurate a strike at what
ever time in their judgment held out the
greatest promise of success, the commit
tees, after three days of serious delibera-
ton, feel that in justice to the anthra-
cite mine workers and those dependent
auguratei, the question should be further
considered by a delegate convention, In
which representatives from the various
local unions shall be fully instructed by
their constituents and prepared to vote In
favor of or in opposition to complete cessa-
In the meantime, all persons employed

washeries and breakers are instructed to
temporarily abstain from working, begin
ming with Monday, May II, and continuing
thereafter until final decision Is reached
by a delegate convention which will con-
vene Wednesday morning, May II, at
Hazelton, Pa.
There Is not particle OF question but
that the miners will religiously obey tho
order and that on Monday next not so
much as a shovelful Of coal will be mined
in the Lackawanna valley.

BILL FOR STATES PASSES
Measures Admitting Oklahoma, ArI-
Sona and New Mexico Gets
Through House.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The opposition
in the house TO the bill for the admission
Of Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico
collapsed at the last minute today and the
bill was passed without division as II came
from the committee, except for few verbal
amendments. The real test came on an
amendment offered by Mr.. Overstreet Of
Indiana to Join New Mexico and Arizona
and admit them as the state OF Montezuma.
II was beaten, rs to log and all opposi-
tion then ceased.
The closing scenes of the debate we're
accompanied by a dramatic incident, which
narrowly escaped being a tragedy. Dele
gate Mark A. Smith Of Arizona, who has
been fighting for the admission Of his ter
ritory for a dozen years, had just made a
vigorous speech against the Overstreet
amendment, when he was seized with a
rush Of blood to the head. He was con-
veyed to the lobby, where several physi-
clans, who are members Of the house, by
the prompt administration OF powerful
heart stimuIants, saved him from a stroke
Of apoplexy. He later rallied and was re-
moved to his hotel

Three members Of the house who are ply
sicians, Mtssrs. ellison, Showalter and Ball,
attended him and for a time they feared
that serious results might follow Mr..
s9ith was conscious, but an examination
x = physicians indicated that he had
featened with an spoplectic attack.

* acts for Oklahoma. Arizona and
Mexico, similar In form to former
oling acts, with the exception that the

Empowered to designate the name by which
che new state shall enter the union, and
