THE STRIKE SITUATION.

President Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers. as he had doubtless an
ticipated. found small minority OPP
posed to accepting the terms of the COM
promise when the miners convention
was called to order at Wiikesbarre, Pa,
Yesterday. He had urged the delegates
TO adopt the arbitration proposition
promptly. He had given his word to
President Roosevelt that he would re-
commend it; he had promised that work
should be quickly resumed-yet despite
his earnest appeal TO the convention
delegate after delegate got up and with
determined spirit and intense conviction
voiced his opposition. 1t is not, how
ever, an opposition which is strong
enough to prevent the convention declar-
ing the strike at an end, but 1t Is strong
enough to make the conclusion Of
the great five months struggle
the cause of bitter dissatisfaction.
'Where is the victory if all our men do
not get work." the delegates asked. " II
we return to work without getting back
the places for all our men, what was the
use in going on striker" Others demand
ed. President Mitchell said that there
are men on strike who may not get back to
work. He told the delegates that he
wanted them to vote witha thorough I'M
Outstanding ofthat question. Hepromlsed
that the union, as far asitwas able, would
take care of those who did not return to
work.
No end was in sight when at $3.50 yes
terdav afternoon the convention adjourn
ed. the delegates to discuss the matter
over night, and today return to the con-
vention and fight it out. 1t is apparent
that the majority are with Mitchell and
that they will vote for the strike to end.
He had cleared the air by telling the
men he had assurances that the com
panies will deal fairly.

London, Oct. 21.-Fears are enter
ta;ned in the city that the Somaliland
expedition, which recently suffered a
reverse at the hands of the Mad Mullah,

from one of the officers of the expedition,
received today, says: We are IN regu-

fighting and lost many men. The worst
of it is our blacks are funking. we may
muddle out somehow, though hardly

tons skirmish in which only 80 OF
those engaged escaped. The letter is
likely to create great public indignation
against the government.

Delaware Politics.

Wilmington, Del, Oct. 2l.-it Is
stated on good authority that the reason
Governor HUM refused to call an extra
session of the legislature to elect United
States Senators was that several
days ago he was assured by TWO
or three of the seven regular repuD-
lican legislators holding out against
Addicks, that if SPECIAL ses-
sion was called they would vote with the
union republicans for AddickS giving MN
majority, providing the union would
support regular for the other va
cancy. HUM agreed to cali a special
session with the proviso that the regulars
afiix their signatures to the petition.
The regulars failed to do this,
and HUM refused to Issue a
call. The big registration, especially in rural
districts, is said to indicate democratic We
tory, which will mean Kenny and salisbury
for Senator's. If the republicans carry the
State Addicks and Ball will be named sena-
tors. Addicks says he will remain IN the
fight to the finish.

AM Important church Question.

Baltimore, Oct. 2l.--It is expected
that Cardinal Gibbons will shortly call a
meeting of the bishops of this province
to consider the question as to whether
the Catholic church in this country is to
remain in missionary relation to Rome,
or ask for an independent self-governlng
body under direct control of and respon-
sible only to the Pope. 1t is understood
that if the American hierarchy desires
independence such will be granted.
The question is to be voted on by prov
inces. 1t is generally expected that a
majority of the provinces will favor
present conditions as tits assumed, that
the organization in this county is not
sufficiently well established to cut itself
away from the direction Of the propa-
ganda.

ANIMPORTANT DECISION.

Attornet General Knox has prepared
a decision, that will be made public to-
day, upholding the action of the United
States steamboat inspectors at Portland,
Ore, who suspended several licensed
pilots and engineers belonging to the
Protective Tugmen's Association, who
refused to testify in trial of two or
more members of their brotherhood for
dereliction of duty because the giving OF
evidence would be in violation of their
initiation oath. IL issaid labor leaders
will look upon this ruling as a direct
blow at unions. establishes triumph
for owners of coastwise vessels, who
were forced to discontinue traffic for six
months of this year because of a strike
following the suspension by the inspec-
tors. In Portland, Ore, short time
ago there was similar case to this one,
and the trial board, consisting of Ed.
s. Edwards, United States Inspector OF
Hulls. and George +. Fuller, United
States Inspector of Boilers, suspended
and revoked the licenses of the men who
refused to answer the questions put to
them in the trial of members Of their
brotherhood. The case was appealed to
the Attorney General, and in accordance
with his construction of the law, and
further cases of refusal to testify at
trials of pilots and other officers of steam
boats because of the alliance of the
brotherhoods, such acts may bepunished
by the revocation of licenses.

Mahanoy City, Pa, Oct. q. -
Throughout the lower anthracite region
there is a delirium of joy over the an
nouncement from Wilkesbarre. - "The
strike is settled, return to work" The
news reached here about 1890 and could
scarcely be taken to the bulletin board
so great was the pressure and enthusiasm
of the crowds. Whistles heralded the
tidings broadcast, shrieking in one con-
tinuous strain to the accompaniment of
a multitude of changing bells. Bands are
playing, banners are flying and every
where an enthusiastic mood has seized
upon the people. A resumption of
work it is believed could be affected at
the collieries tomorrow.
