ONE STRIKE ENDS.
West Virginia Miners Will Return
to Work.

Huntington, w. Va, Sept. 4.-The
coal strike in West Virginia, is prac'
tically at an end. At mass meeting
of miners from all the coal fields along
the Norfolk & Western railroad here,
it was almost unanimously agreed to
end the strike provided the operators
would take back all the old miners, and
they have signified their intention of
doing this. The miners have agreed to
return to work next Monday.
1t is reported that President Mitchell,
of the United Mine Workers. advised
the strikers to return to work. He
realized that winter was near at hand,
and that the miners in this field could
not hold out much longer, az almost
everyone was dependent upon the union
for food and clothing. 1t is thought
the strikers at New River and kanawha
fields will soon follow this action.
POcahontas mine continues to burn,
but the operators think that they will
soon have It under control.

Predictions of Early Settlement Not
Officially Confirmed.

Philadelphia, Sept. S.-There have
been many predictions that the anthra-
cite coal strike would be over by the
first week in September, but if the Off
Gals of the Mine Workers union are to
be believed, the struggle will continue
for months unless the coal companies
grant concessions. The operators ad
NIT that they are surprised at the way
the strikers are holding out. RumOrs
are current, and, in tact, statements
have been made by prominent men both
in ard out of the coal trade, that the
strike will be ended this month. Pres
ident John Mitchell maintains that he
knows nothing of possible early end
ing of the trouble. The only move
now in contemplation is the suggestion
that Governor Stone call an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature to deal with the
question.

SUNK BY GERMANS.
Flrmin Gunboat Accused of Acts of
Piracy


Piracy.
Fort-au-Prince, Hayti, Sent. S.-The
German gunboat Panther arrived here
sept. 3 and received instructions from
the German government to cature the
Flrmlnst gunboat Crete-a-P ierrot. She
lett Immediately for Gonaives, the seat
OF the Flrminist government. The PAN
ther found the Crete-a-P ierrot in the
harbor at Gonaives, and the comman-
ger OF the German gunboat informed
the commander of the Crete-a -Pierrot
that he must remove his crew within
I'VE minutes. Admiral Killick asked
that this time be extended to fifteen
minutes. This request was granted
on condition that the arms and ammu-
milton on board should be abandoned
when her crew left her. The crew of
the Crete-a-Pierrot left that vessel amid
great disorder.
At the end of fifteen minutes the
Panther sent small boat CARRYING one
officer and twenty sailors, who were to
take possession of the Firminist gun
boat. When these men had arrived at
point about twenty yards from the
Crete-a-Pierrott flames were seen to
break on board her. She had evidently
been fired by the crew before they left
her. The Panther then fired on the
Crete-a-Pierrot until she was completely
immersed. Thirty shots, all told, were
fred.
The cause of the action of the Ger
man government is stated to have been
that the Firminist boat had been guilty
of acts of piracy.

BOTH TO BLAME.
Driver and MotOrman Careless at
the Road Crossing.

Washington, Sept. 4.-B. f. Barnes,
assistant secretary to the president, has
arrived in Washington. Mr.. Barnes
was with the presidential party at
Pittsfeld, being in the second carriage
behind that occupied by the president.
Mr.. Cortelvou and Gov. Crane, at the
time of the accident. Although Mr..
Barnes discfaims any special knowledge
as to all the circumstances of the acct
dent, not shared by many others, yet,
from what he saw and heard on the
spot, he thinks the responsibility for
the accident lies between the driver OF
the presidents carriage and the motor
man with the greater burden upon the
latter. The trolley road at that point,
Mr.. Barnes says, is straight for some
distance. and the motorman must have
seen and recognized the presidents car
riage with its four white horses, some
time before the crossing was reached,
but instead of stopping or materially
reducing his speed, he came on at a rate
that made it impossible for him to stop
when he saw that a collision was immi-
nent The driver of the president $
carriage, on the other hand. could
hardly have a clear view of the track at
the point of crossing as the outriders
OH either side must have obstructed it
to some extent at least.
Among the people who gathered at
the scene of the disaster it was suggest
ed that the driver of the president s
carriage may have taken greater
chances in crossing the track than he
usually would have taken. He I'M
doubtedly felt his Importance, as the
driver of the presidents landau was re-
ported to have refused 81 900 to allow
another man to take his place for the
day.
