Markle & O. were present.
 Following a meeting with J. F. Nor gan, John Markle made this statement:
 ssI do not think it necessary to repeat that all talk of concessions on the part of the operators is foolish and certain ly without foundation. Our position now is the same as when Mitchell made his original propositions and no different than when the strike began.
 ssWe said then that we would make no concessions, and we repeat it now- There is no reason why this should not be understpod F 4 he operators have, shown that they mean 1t, and Irrepeat it only by way of emphasis
 "There is just one way to end the strike, by the men returning to work. and every day they remain away by giving ear to Mitchelps spacious prom ises will only entail further loss and suffering to them. Conditions are inn proving daily. More men are returning to work and more coal is being mined"

ACADEMY.-The Brothers Byrne in
Eight Bells, furnish the amusement at
the Academy this week, and there was
large throng on hand last night. The at
traction contains very little of the comic
dialogue that is Outlines so tiresome, and
is likewise free from jokes of ancient vim
tage, but instead the production Is made up
Of pantomimes and acrobatics. A NUMBER
of new features have been introduced, but
the scene representing the cabin Of roll
ing ship is still retained, and the act was
amusing in the extreme. The Ryrne Broth
ers proved a clever and accomplished
troupe of acrobats and pantomtmists. the
fire scene, with the funny engine and trick
horses, served It's laughter-exciting pur-
pose. The stage effects are unique, and
the costumes appropriate. The attraction
tergoers and their elders last night plainly
found no lack of entertainment.
THE EMPIRE-A numerous and obvi-
ously friendly gathering gave the ex-cham-
pion pugilist, John L. Sullivan, rousing
greeting at the Empire last night. The vet
eran of the ring entered vaudeville only last
week, and it is apparent that his stage
was accustomed to hold the stage In his
play, but In that he gave vent only to short
speeches, with menacing scowls at the VII
lain. In his present undertaking he is in the
glare of the tfme-light, alone for fifteen or
twenty minutes, without adventurous aids.
He was greeted with ringing cheers, to
which he responded clumsily. In a wheezy
below Sullivan told a. number of stories,
many of them relating to his personal ex-
perienceS-or supposed to be-and they were
all received with evidences of marked ap-
prevail. He hurls his stories at one with
the direct bluntness of a hard hitter He
has three gestures; he taps his chest In al
luding to himself, and stands first on one
foot and then on the other His megathe-
rian egotsm, as he recites, parrot-like,
number of stock stories, is amusing In its
way. To John l.. belongs the distinction of
showing the American public the best fight
and the worst monoogue that it has seen.
However, he explains the entire transaction
In his opening remarks: THE rent falls due
the first of every month and the landlord
won't wait His performance, however,
pleased, for all were eager to be pleased.
The rest of the bill at the Empire Is of
unusual excellence. In fact, 1t Is the best
the Empire has ever had. There two
