ing Region.
wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE four
teenth week of the anthracite miners
strike began to-day. President Mitch
ell is authority for the statement that
the strikers are in good shape. Con-
tributions to the relief fun are coming
in from many quarters. While the
strike leaders are inclined to throw cold
water on all reports that an attempt
may be made to resume mining at an
early day In the Wyoming region, 1T
would not be at all surprising should
one or two Of the mines in this section
be started up this week. The same
story has been told for weeks past, but
there is a Observation-Disclosures report IN
circulation thai the Lehigh & Wilkes
barre Coal company ray start up work
at its Wanamie colliery some Cay this

United States Senat From Mfchi-
gan Drops on Suddenly.

Washington. Aug. Il. A dispatch
was received here announcing the death
of Senator James Me MILAN of Michi-
gan early yesterday at his summer
home al Observation-Disclosures Mass.
Death was the result of heart failure.
following congestion, after an Illness Of
a very few hours.
The news came as a great shock to
his friends here, for when the senator
left Washington, shortly after the adj
Journment of congress he appeared to
be In good health and looked forward
with much satisfaction to a quiet and
restful summer. For some years Sena-
tor Mcmillan has made his summer
home at Observation-Disclosures, hav-
ing erected a very fine cottage at that
place.
While no information on the point has
been received here the expectation IS
that his remains will be taken to De-
troit and be deposited
In the Family Vault
at Elmwood cemetery. The body of his
son, Capt. John Fl. Mcmillan, who
served In the Spanish war and who died
several months ago, rests there. The
senator leaves a widow, three sons, w.
c., Philip and Frank, all of Detroit, n
a daughter. Mrs. Mcmillan and daugh-
ter accompanied the senator to Man
chester after the adjournment of con-
gress. Senator Mcmillan was a native
of Ontario, having been born in Ham
ilton May IL, 1888, but in early life
moved to Michigan n for many years
vas prominently identified with the
business interests n political life or
the state, having for s number Of terms
been chairman Of the Republican STAGE
committee. He had been a member OF
the United States senate since 1889. He
was chairman of the committee on
District Of Columbia in that body and
was also a member of the committees
on appointments, commerce, naval af-
fairs, relations with Cuba, coast and
irsular survey and corporations or
ganized in tbs District of Columbia.
