At Work Again.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 24.-Mining
was resumedin the anthracite regions
yesterday after IN idleness of 23h
weeks. The resumption was not as
general as had been expected, however,
owing to the unexpected difficulties
that were encounteredi in the shape of
water, accumulated gas and the dan
gerous condition of the roofs and
shafts of many of the collieries.
More at Work.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 25.-There
were % more mines importation in the
anthracite region yesterday than on,
Thursday and the output will be close
to 100000 tons. Thisis as near as can
be estimated. From reports received.
the total output Thursday did not ex-
coed $4,000 tons. When in full opera
tionthe mines'employin every capacity
about 145,000 men and boys. OF this.
number it is estimated that s2,O0Ow were
at work yesterday.
Orders Troops withdrawn.
harrisburg. Pa, Oct. 25.-General
orders for the withdrawal of the
troops in the anthracite coal regions
were issued by Gov. Stone to Maj.
Gen. Miller Friday. The orders do
not state the time and manner of
Withdrawing the troops, but it is ex-
pected that the state authorities will
bring all of them home, with the pos
sible exception of two or three regi-
ments, before election day. This will
avoid the necessity of appointing q
commission to each regiment to take
the votes of the soldiers in the field
and the preparation of special form
of ballots.

All to BE, Cared For.

Preceding the vote in the convention
there was some delay over the question
of who would car for those strikers
that might not find old places open to
them or any work at all in view of the
bad condition of some mines. The ques-
ton wa left in the hands of the ex-
ecutive boards and they will probably
look after the men enforced to be idle,
probably continuing the relieffund for
their benefit. Ultimately all the men
will be able to obtain work.
Officially Announced.
After Mr.. MitcheIlhad notified Presi-
dent Roosevelt of the action of the
convention and had received a reply.to
the effect that the commission would
meet in Washington on Friday he sent
out the official announcement through
the press to the strikers that the strike
was off. 1t was addressed to all min
ers and mine workers in the anthra-
cite region and was as follows:
"You r hereby officially notified
t was unanimously decided to-day
by the delegates attending the special
convention that all mine workers
should report for work Thursday
morning, October 20, and that the is
SUI which eliminated in the strike
should be referred for adjustment to
the commission appointed by the presi-
dent of the United States.
