thracite FieId-J UNIVERSAL quiet
ReiGns.
Philadelphia. oct. S.--The entire Ma
tional Guard of Pennsylvania is camp
ed tonight in the anthracite coal re-
gions, the last regiment from the west
ern part of the state having arrived
late this afternoon.
Contrary to expectations the troops
were we'll received and there was no
disposition on the part of the strikers
to annoy the soldiers.
There was only one instance during
the day of any show of feeling and
this was a Bethlehem, when some boys
stoned the second section of the train
bearing the First Regiment from Phil
adelShia.
Universal quiet reigns throughout the
entire region.
Brig. Gen Schall, who arrived in
Tamaqua this afternoon, telegraphed
Mai. Gen. Miller that there was no
disturbance of any kind in the district,
The soldiers who arrived to-day were
all scattered through Schuylkill Luz
zerne, Carbon and Northumberland
counties.
The fact that all of the locals
throughout the anthracite region have
voted unanimously to continue the
strike would indicate that the pres
ence of the troops will have but little
effect upon forcing the men to return
to work, and from present indications
it would seem that the settlement of
the strike is no nearer a solution than
it has been for many weeks.

THE FRENCH STRIKE.
Paris Beginning to Seriously Con-
slider Probable Rise in Price of
Coal

IT'S hcEAhhlhS 10 seriously con-
slider Probable Rise in Price of
Coal.
Paris, Oct. S.--The National Commit
tee of the French Miners Federation
has decided to declare a general strike
to begin tomorrow.
1t is estimated that $4,000 men have
already struck in the northern coal
fields, and that 5000 men have struck
around St. Etinne.
The decision of the National Com
mttee OF the Miners Federation to
declare general strike throws the re-
sponslblllty upon the mine owners, be-
cause the latter have declined to dis
cuss the claims of the miners. The
mine owners took this attitude on the
ground that the questions of the regu-
lauon or work and old age pensions
We're now before Parliamentary COM
iIlttees and the strike had already
broken out without warning and with
out motives
The Temps calculates that the
French miners number 1862, 900 men. of
whom only $4,000 belong to the feder-
alton.
The probability of a rise in the price
OF domestic and factory coal is begin
nlng to be seriously discussed. The
secretary of the mine owners commit
tee in an interview predicts dear coal
IN Paris this winter He saws the
pennsylvania strike will be partly re-
sponSible for this as orders have been
given in England to reduce the avail
able stocks there and to increase the
price of coal export to France. which
imports considerably from the English
coal fields. This factor and the rise in
French coal owing to the strike are
certain to result in high retail prices.

half hours late and was standing at
the Menlo Park station for the pur-
pose Of cooling a hot box. Knowing

CONDITION OF Mr.. SAGE.
Wall street Uneasy as 20 Health of
Venerable Finnncier.

New York, Oct. S.-The condition of
Russell Sage, who has been suffering
from bad cold and was threatened
with pneumonia, was reported to-day
as favorable. He is at his country
house at Cedarhurst. J.. l., and ii was
said there that he had passed a COM
Portable night. The physician said
there was no reason for alarm.
Wall street was inclined to be doubt
full about Mr.. Sage's condition. Mr..
Sage has large number of loans out
on collateral that might be wanted at
anv moment, and in the
event of his death either
a sudden calling of his loans,
or situation in which the securities
in his safety deposit vault which are
held as collateral would be tied up in
definitely, would result in considerable
trouble and loss.
G. w. Osborne, cashier for Mr. Sage
to set at rest any fears on. the latter
point made the authoritative state
ment that in the event of Mr.. Sage's
death his debtors would have no
trouble as the securities would not be
tied up.

MITCHELL IN NEW YORK.
Strike Leader Reticent as to object
of His Trip.

of His TriD.
New York. Oct. S.-Presidant Mitch
ell of the United Mine Workers Asso-
citation, arrived at the Pennsylvania
depot in Jersey City tonight Mr..
Mitchell was asked if he had come 10
hold a conference with the operators.
but he declined to say.
Mr.. Mitchell had the appearance of
having been under severe mental and
physical strain, but assured questi oners
that he was in good health, though
tired.
At 10 O'Clock Mr.. Mitchell called I'D
Wilkesbarre by telephone. Shortly af-
ter this he turned to the newspaper
men and said:
Information has been conveyed to
me by telephone that a total of 260
local unions have reported unanimous
voting against resuming work The
men are not deferred from going to
work through any fear of bodily harm.
but are resolved to remain out until
the differences between them and the
operators are arbitrated. or until they
are ordered to return by their leaders.
This leaves not more than forty or
fifty local unions to hear from yet
The unanimous action includes the
votes of strikers not members of the
union, but who were present at the
meetings and voted with the union
men,
At II O'Clock President Mitchell and
two of the district presidents went
from the Ashland House to the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, where Senators Quay
and Penrose of Pennsylvania and Louis
N Hammerling of Wilkesbarre, Pa,
were registered.
President Mitchell's conference with
Senators Quay and Penrose laEted for
an hour and three-quarters. At it's
conclusion Mr.. Mitchell returned to the
Ashland House. He declines to say
word as to his talk with the senators
and the latter left word with the clerk
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel that they
would not see anyone. instructing the
clerk to refuse the cards of any per-
sons who might wish to interview
them.

DENT MITCHELL'S OFFICE.

Strike Leader Dictated Letter to
President Roosevelt, and While
Declining to Give Its PurpOrt, 1t
Is BeIiev ed That IL Contains n Re-

dents Proposition That the Miners
Return to work and Wait on Con-
gress for Legislative Relief.
Wflkesbarre. Pa. Oct Sunless
President Mitchelrs hurried visit to
New York bears fruit the end of the
mine workers strike seems long way
off and the prospect of sufficient coal
being mined to satisfy the public de-
mand is extremely poor. Every local
union of the miners organization
throughout the hard coal belt held
special meetings, either last night or
to-day, and resolved to remain on strike
until the mine owners grant them some
concession. And while the reports of
these meetings came pouring into
Wilkesbarre, President Mitchell dictat-
ed a letter to President Roosevelt in
which he gave his answer to the
proposition that the strikers return
to work and trust to have their con-
dition improved by an investigating
commission. What the answer of Presi-
dent Mitchell is he refused to divulse,
but it is difficult TO conceive that with
the replies of the local unions piled
around hinn,h could do otherwise than
respectfully decline the Pres
ident's proposition. Mr.. Mitchell
sent his letter to Washing
ton before he had heard from
all the locals and at O'Clock in the
afternoon, accompanied by the three
district presidents, left for New York,
1t was a busy day for the miners Of
ficials about headquarters. From early
morning until late tonight the returns
came IN constantly. This evening the
corps of newspaper correspondents sta
toned here were invited to examine the
reports, and not one was found that
was not couched in firm language,
Briefly stated. the resolutions in these
reports reaffirm the confidence of the
men in the integrity and judgment of
their president, praise President Roose-
Welt for his efforts to end the strike:
denOunce the presidents of the coal
carrying roads for their alleged abuse
of the chief executive at the conference
at Washington denounce the employ
ment of the coal and iron
police; thank all organizations and
all citizens throughout the country for
the financial assistance given, and de-
nounce Gov. Stone for sending troops
here.
Nearly all the resolutions contained
a sentence to the effect that the men
will remain out though all the troops
in the United States were sent here,
until they are granted some conces-
sions.
Additional froons for this raoion
have not vet arrived, and the general
strike situation remains unchanged.
There is no increase in the shipment
of COAL very little of which is being
produced. No violence was reported
to-day.

ATTEMPTED FORGERY.
Negro Presents Check at Bank and
Then breaks Away.

Laurens, S. c., Oct. S.-This afternoon
a negro calling himself Joe Mack pre-
scented at the Peoples Loan Exchange
Bank a check payable to himself or
bearer and purporting to be signed by
a leading planter for $137 The bank
officers instantly suspected the fraudu-
lcnce Of the signature and detained the
man until investigation could be made.
After some time the negro became
alarmed and suddenly darted away
leaping through a window breaking the
sesh. A cry was raised and in a few
minutes the man was captured by sew
eral young men who were in the chase.
The negro, whose name was ascer-
tanned to be Willis Henderson. is in
Jail. He declares that he is not the
man who was in the bank, but the of.
ficers of the latter identified him posi-
lively. He declares that he cannot
write and it is possible that he had an

a scrap of paper with weights of sew
eial bales of cotton and the negro pre-
tended that the check was to pay him

MIR. BAER HAD RETIRED.
And II Was Impossible to Verify His
RumOred Resignation.

Philadelphia, Oct. S-A rumor was
current here tonight that George F..
Baer, president of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway, had submitted his
resigna tion to the board of directors.
Inquiry at Mr.. Baer's residence here
elected the information that he had
retired for the night. leaving the
strict injunction that he was not to
be disturbed. Two members of the
board of directors, however, emphat-
ically denied the report.
The impression prevails here that
United States Senators Quay and Pen
rose are still endeavoring to effect a
settlement of the strike. The two sem
ators went to New York late this af-
ternoon, but declined to state the OBJ
ject of their visit. The hasty de-
parture of President Mitchell of the
Mine Workers UniBn from Wilkes
barre for New York and the fact that
the senators left here at about the
same time, is regarded as significant.

And Number Injured in Wreck on
Panhandle Branch.
Washington, Pa, Oct S.-One of the
most destructive wrecks in the his
tory of the Washington branch of the
Panhandle Railroad occurred tonight
at VanEmmens station. two miles east
Of Cannonsburg. The wreck resulted

jured, one so badly that he may die.
The dead are all foreigners and their
names could not be ascertained.
The wreck occurred at a siding
about twenty yards from the VAN
Emmens station. An east-bound coal
train side-wiped a gravel or construc-
ton train at the opening of the switch.
The gravel train, which was on the
siding, had orders to remain there,
but thinking they could get away
ahead of ann other train that may
be following, pulled out on the main
track. The coal train came thunder
ing along and sidewiped the engine
and one car that were out in the clear.
