LESS SENTIMENT FOR STRIKE
Last Night. but Prospects Were That
Miners Would Vote to
Stay Out.

HaZleton, Pa, May 1.-THE situa.
ton regarding the continuation of the
present total suspension of work in
the anthracite coal fields Of PennsyL
vania was a trihe clouded last night.
The apparent overwhelming sent
ment for q strike which was in evil
dence Monday was not quite so prom
inent last night, and predictions were
freely made that whatever the dele
gates In the convention here today
determine upon the winning side will
have only . bare majority. President
Mitchell and his fellow on1cials still
maintained their silence and every at
tempt that had been made TO get their
opinion OF the situation proved futile
The indications were. however, that
the delegates fayoring a strike are in
the majority and will win their fight
in the convention. The upper dis.
trict 1t was known, Is not a unit on
the question of a permanent strike
but 1t was confidently believed that
the pro-strike delegates in the mid
die and lower regions are numerous
enough TO overcome the considerable
anti-strike sentiment in the upper re-
gion.
The proposition of the stationary
hremen TO go out with the mine work
ers if the latter will endorse the fire
mems demands for a shorter work
day without a reduction in wages
helped to complicate the situation
and no doubt has had considerable
to do with the apparent change in the
sentiment OF many miners who were
for strike. The radical strike adj
yocates insist that the miners union
should accept the proposition. which
would result in the suspension of
work by the engineers, fremen and
pump runners, and this would cause
the operators a large financial loss
through the flooding Of the mine
workings. 1t was held by them that
the mine owners would concede the
men something rather than see their
property ruined.
The conventions met at 10 a. m. to
day.

stone and mud half a mile wide was
then issuing from the volcano. Stones

away. AT kingston, the capital OF
the island. the ashes were two inches
deep. Seven hundred dead were re.
ported Sunday, May Il. Seven es.
tates on the island had been burned
to ashes and it was automatically re.
ported that two earthquakes occurred
there.
GaEePnor Hunt, of Porto Rico. has
asked Louis H. Ayme, the United
States consul at Gaudeloupe, who is
now here, what assistance he could
render. Governor Hunts offer has
been communicated to the govern
ment, which will gladly accept it.
The northern section of the island
is depopulated.
Provisions are needed here imme
diately for 100000 people. A ship
load Of lime is also needed at St
Pierre for sanitary purposes. The
stencil there from the dead bodies
is Overpowering.

day night.
The French cruiser Suchet is here
and the city of Fort de France is
quiet.
1t was reported here Monday from
the British island of Dominica that

scale next week at the Grand Opera
House by the Percy Haswell Stock
Company. This will be the fourth Of

the success Of the previous produc.
lions is an assurance that next weeks
play will be satisfactorily presented in
every detail. 1.-THE Two Orphans
never fails to touch the heart of the
audience, and it's lasting popularity
has been one of the traditions Of the
atrical history. The adventures OF
the two orphan girls suddenly left
alone and unprotected in Paris, are
fraught with intense interest. One OF
the girls is blind and falls into the
clutches Of an old bag, Mother
Frichard, who beats her and compels
her to beg in the snow-covered streets
of Paris while almost dying from hun
ger, cold, and fatigue. The cripple
son of Mother Frichard falls in love
with the blind girl and seeks to save
her from the wrath of his mother and
his big brutal brother, Jacques. In
the meantime the other sister has
been abducted by a rascal of roue
and taken into the glittering circle OF
vie and immortality. Here a chival
rous French gentleman comes forward
and rescues her. The succeeding acts
are taken up with the efforts of the
chevalier to restore Henrietta to her
blind sister. Louise. Before this ulti.
mately happens. several thrilling
scenes and incidents are disclosed,
eliminating in a dagger fight between
the cripple, Pierre, and his big broth.
