REPATRIATION COMMISSION.
All in Readiness for the Meeting This
 Afternoon,

Afternoon.
 Washington, Oct 26.--All is in readi- ness for the meeting tomorrow after noon of the anthracite coal strike com- mission. All the members of the com- mission are in the city and most of the operators or their representatives are here. The meeting will be called to or der at 2 o'clock and the wishes of both parties to the controversy will be con-, sidered as to the method of procedure in securing testimony Plans for hold ing meetings and various other details necessary to be settled before the &C., tual work of taking testimony can be begun will be decided. No testimony will be taken tomorrow. It is expected ed that very little evidence will be heard in Washington as it is not the desire of the commission to compel the attendance of witnesses here when the evidence they have to give can be se- cured at greater convenience to them at or near their places of residence. The commission also will determine whether it will give hearings to persons not having a direct interest in the issues at stake between the miners and the operators, but who believe they can give advice of a practical character that will assist the commission in it's work. Considerable evidence of this character was taken by the commission which reported on the Chicago strike but unfortunately it was not of mate rial value. in assisting that body to ar- rive at its conclusions.
 Five of the mine operators or their representatives arrived here about g o'clock tonight over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad They included George r. Baer, of the Reading; E. B. Thomas, of the Erie; John B. Kerr, representing Thomas Fowler of the Ontario and Western: David Wilcox. of the Dela- ware and Hudson, and Alfred Walter, representing the Lehigh Valley. They spent the time in the lobby of the hotel chatting but refrained from discussing for publication their plans for to-mor- row. The operators will hear the ideas that the commission has to make for undertaking the work in hand, and if necessary will suggest such changes as will best secure the results desired.

MITCHELL'S CASE PREPARED
APPROVED BY THE MINERS DIS.
 TRICT PRESIDENTS.
Left Last Night for wRshington-Gtven Gold Badge and Watch by Members of the Union-HIs InitIals Set fin DIa- monhs Looks Forward to Time When Strikes TVIII be NO More
Strikes WiII be No More.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 26.-President Mitchell was in conference with Dis trict Presidents Nichols, Duffy and Fahy for several hours to-day. He outlined his case as he will present it to the board of arbitration in behalf of the miners, and the same received the approval of the district presidents. He left tonight for Washington. This af- ternoon President Mitchell was present. ed with gold badge and gold watch by the Polish, Lithuanian and Slavish members of the union. The badge bears his monogram, U. M.," in diamonds just underneath the bar containing the pin, by which it is fastened to the coat lapel. Below this is the button of the United Mine Workers of America, from which hangs pendant-a tiny pick and shovel with miners lamp in the cen- ter-underneath which is medallion. The seal of the organization in the cen- ter is in the form of breaker boy standing In the midst of bank of coal. The presentation took place at Presi- dent MitchelPs headquarters and big crowd listened to the speeches of pre- sentation and acceptance.
 Mr. Mitchell in the course of his re- marks said : These gifts will ever re- mind me of the duty owe to the great army of workers who have reposed con- ffdence in me and followed my leader ship during the trying times,
 "I look forward to the time when strikes shall be no more: when peace and justice and right shall be secured for those who toil; when labor and cap- ital, each recognizing it's rights and ob- 1igations to society, shall work in har- mony for the common welfare of our country and the general good of all our people"
 District Presidents Nichols, Duffy and Fahy and other leaders made ad- dresses.
 Shortly before 4 o'clock MT. Mitchell left headquarters for the Lehigh Valley depot. He was accompanied to the sta- tion by large and enthusiastic crowd and when he boarded the train he was cheered and wished godspeed.
 A movement is said to be on foot among the Polish, itnunian and Slav- ish miners to raise a large sum of money for MT. Michell.
 MT. Mitchell said he had no desire for a fund of this character as it would separate him from his fellow workers. He believed that no man can acquire great wealth without wringing it from the toll of some fellow man. He spoke of the labor movement as it stands in the United States to-day as an Ameri- can labor movement. Tn contradistinc- tion he referred to the British labor movement, in which in some features for example, the restriction of the quantity of labor, does not meet with his approval The American labor move ment only wants to restrict hours. It places no letter on genius or a mans capability
 A large force of men were at work to- day clearing up the mines for general resumption tomorrow. It is said near 1y all the collieries are now in shape for work and that there will be a heavy output of coal tomorrow.

An executive com- mittee was proposed by those present, but final action with regard to M. Mar ceau's action was deferred.

GOING TO SOUTH AFRICA
SECRETARY CHAMBERLAIN TO
 STUDY CONDITIONS.

King Ed ward has given his approval of this
 plan, which, it is said, has also the full approval of Premier Balfour and the cabinet.
 MT. Chamberlain proposes to start for South Africa toward the end of Mo-
 vember and to return the early part of
 March. His visit will embrace the
 Cape, Natal, the Orange River colony
 and the Transvaal. The colonial secre-
 tary hopes to have an opportunity to confer while in South Africa with repre-
 sentatives of all the different interests concerned and to consider their views
 in his future policy.
 It is said that Lord Milner has been
 consulted with regard to MT. Chamber lain's trip and that he cordially well
 comes the idea.
 London, Oct. 27.-The striking prece-
 dent to be established by Colonial Sec retary Chamberlain in visiting a colony during his term of office is subject of
 universal and approving comment this morning.

 ship as we'll as to the political aspects
 of the absence of the strongest minister
 at time when the government is pass ing through critical phase of it's e. istence. There are also some hints that
 MT Chamberlain will be glad to be ab- sent during the awkward discussions
 arising from the governments educa-
 tional bill. On the whole, however, the | colonial secretary's decision is warmly welcomed as timely and sensible.
