Mysterious Visit of strike Leader tO
 Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.-President Mitch ell, of the United Mine Workers, paid mysterious visit to this city to-day. and after remaining here about six hours returned to Wilkesbarre. MT. Mitchell arrived here at 7:2S. He was unattend- ed and no person met him at the sta tion. MT. Mitchell passed out of the railroad station to the street, and from that time until he reappeared at the station shortly after noon his move ments are unknown. He checked his grip at the Reading terminal and again disappeared, returning about 10 o'clock and taking lunch in the station res taurant. He boarded train at 2:O2 for Wilkesbarre
 It was later learned that MT. Mitchell had met Carroll D. Wright, commits sioner of labor. but all efforts to locate MT. Wright proved futile. As MT. Mitchell was about to board the train for Wilkesbarre he was asked if he had met an emissary from the president. or if he had received any communication from MT. Roosevelt. He declined to an swer all queries excepting those refer ring to the situation in the coal regions, which, he said, was unchanged.

Italy will import large quantity of cereals this year, in consequence of which the customs receipts will probably exceed the estimates.

ent towns or villages where repatriation depots exist. It must, however, be re- membered that every child, either boy or girl, is a valuable acquisition on farm at the present time, when native labor is so scarce, and there are many whose education for the time being will
 be at a standstill for this reason. Their children have become much attached to
 the school, and the inspector for this circuit informed me that, notwithstand- ing all the joy one might expect them to feel on the day they were to return to

WILL BE IMPORTANT TEST.
Militia Will Prove Whether Operators
 Are Right sn Their Claims.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 6.-With the whole division of the National Guard in the field there will be twenty-th three soldiers for each of the 430 mining operations and a little more than one for every two men now at work about the mines.
 There is no settled opinion here as to what effect the calling out of the whole guard will have, The operators have claimed all along that it would break the strike by inducing to return to the mines thousands of men who they claim are only deterred now from so doing by fear of violence. The strike leaders have been saying the calling out of the Third brigade had no tendency to break the strike, but on the other hand, that it has had the effect of deterring men from returning to work, in support of which claim they point to the fact that before the troops came to Lackawanna county, two weeks ago, twenty collieries and twenty washeries were operated, while only two collieries have made a start since. The present week will, it is believed, put the rival claims to 8 definite test.

RIGHTS OF MINE LESSEES.
Bangor Man Considering Apreat to
 Conrts for Injunction.

Bangor Me. Oct. 6.--C. M. Holman, mine lands in Pennsylvania of which the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad company are lessees, is considering the question of making application to the courts for an injunction to compel the coal operators to open mines and re- sume operations at once. As the prop erty is leased on royalty MT. Holman says that no income has been derived since the mines were shut down, and that the actual owners of the mines are among the principal sufferers from the strike.
 MT. Holman says also that a great many of the owners are in sympathy with the strikers, but are helpless, at least in Pennsylvania, as the courts have held that the lessees have full control. In view of the cessation of in- come from the property, however, it is thought that the courts would rule fla vorably in injunction proceedings to protect the rights of the actual mine owners.
 MT. Holman has telegraphed to Pres ident Roosevelt that the interests of the owners entitle them to representa- tion in any conference which may be held with reference to a settlement of the strike.
 In his telegram to the president MT, Holman referred to the Operators ob- stinate policy of refusing to submit to arbitration their differences with the striking miners, with whose demands many of the equitable real owners of the unmined and unpaid-for coal of Pennsylvania over which the railroad magnates so despotically exercises the power of the legal title they hold as lessees are. like myself, entirely in sympathy. We have some vested rights entitled to respect and we welcome your ! intervention"

States and a tribunal named by him. You have noted the reply of the presi- dents of the coal carrying roads, in which they responded to our overtures by denouncing your union, it's members and officers in the most vehement and malicious manner possible. They also declared that large majority of the strikers would return to work if given military protection and they demanded that the president send United States troops to the coal fields.
 In order to demonstrate to the peo- pie of our country that the statements of the operators are unfounded, that the mine workers are law abiding citi- zens, the officers of all local unions should call mass meetings of all men on strike, union and non-union, such meet ings to be held in each mining town at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Oc- tober 8. We know that the mine work CTS are not restrained from going to work by fear of bodily harm; and if this Is the sentiment prevailing at the meet ings, resolutions should be adopted, emphatically declaring the statements #Ol5lllS OpCldIOlo LI OC AeA
 We also advise that acts of lawless- ness by the coal and iron police and by strikers be denounced and that the ser vice of members of the union rendered the local authorities to preserve law and order.
 Great care should be exercised that those on strike do not permit them selves to be provoked by the coal and iron policemen into the commission of overt acts. The opertaors failing to break the strike and deprive you of your well earned victory, are now at tempting to array public sentiment against you by making false claims that reign of terror exists in the coal fields. Be steadfast and true while this struggle for living wages and American conditions of employment is going on and we have no hesitancy in saying that victory will be achieved in the not distant future. The heart of the nation beats in sympathy with you and all good citizens favor your cause.

MINE OPERATORS AND OWNERS.
Former Declared to be withiu Their
 Rights.

New York, Oct. 6.-John B. Kerr, general counsel for the New York, On-
 tario and Western railroad, speaking of
 the report from Boston that certain New England owners of coal mining
 properties in the anthracite fields in
 Pennsylvania that are held under lease by the operators, are talking of begin ming suit to break the leases because
 their royalties have stopped since the
 strike began, had this to say of the
 matter:
 ''In the first place there are very few New England owners of coal lands in Pennsylvania. Then, all the leases, so far as I know, contain strike clauses.
 They provide that in case of a strike, when the lessee is willing to pay the prevailing wages to his employees he is excused from the payment of royalties during the strike.
 ''The leases also provide that the les-
 sees are excused from paying the roy- alties in case of an accident at a mine that prevents the mining of coal. or in case trouble on the railroads makes it 1 impossible to transport the coal. Tn other words. all the leases know ! anything about place the lessee in the position in which the owner would be placed if he were operating the mines. If an operator attempts to cut the 1 wages of his men to less than the pre- vailing wages, and they strike, he is not excused by the strike clause. But in the present instance the operators are | willing to pay the prevailing wages and
 are excused from the payment of royal l ties.'

MITCHELL SEES WRIGHT.
Belief That Latter Handed Him an Ap-
 peal from Roosevelt.


 peal from Roosevelt.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 6.-President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, slipped out of town before dawn this morning for Philadelphia, where he met Carroll D. Wright, United States commissioner of labor, who is President Roosevelt's per sonal representative on matters per- taining to the anthracite coal strike. MT. Mitchell returned here tonight, un accompanied and unannounced, and made the simple statement that he had met the labor commissioner. He refus- ed absolutely to discuss his visit to Philadelphia, declined to say where in Philadelphia he met MT. Wright or what passed between them. Subse- quently he informed a representative of the Associated Press that he saw other gentlemen while there, but declined to 1 disclose their identity.
 On the strength that MT. Wright is close to President Roosevelt there is general impression here that the com missioner carried a message from the chief executive to MT Mitchell. A ru- nor, which cannot be verified. is in cir | culation here tonight that President Roosevelt has appealed to MT. Mitchell 1 to end the strike in the cause of human l ity. There is no one here in Mir Mitch ells confidence except his three district presidents, and it is doubtful if they knew that he was in Philadelphia until | they arrived here during the day and found him absent.
 1 Interest in MT MitchelPs mysterious trip was intense all day and evening
 about headquarters. All the local dis 1 trict leaders called and scores of mine
 workers were in evidence. No one seemed to know anything and all were of the belief that some sort of move is contemplated. Immediately on the return of the strike leader tonight he
 was beseged. but he refused to see any
 one until after he had his supper. He granted the newspaper correspondents
 a brief interview, simply telling them he met MT. Wright, and then he and
 the district presidents went into con- | ference

LONG TALK WITH ROOSEVELT.

F. P. Sargent Then Leaves Washington
 Significance of the Visit.
 Washington, Oct. 6.-There was only one development of import ance in the coal strike situation to-day. Frank P. Sargent commissioner of immigration, and for many years chief of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Bremen, had long interview with President Roose- welt to-day and left Washington very soon afterwards. MT Sargent indicated that the interview concerned the coal strike, but he would not discuss the matter, From the fact that he always has been influential with labor Organi- zat ions, it is generally believed that he is entrusted with message to Presi~ dent Mitchell of the miners union. It is also said that MT. Sargent is to meet MT. Mitchell in Philadelphia and de- liver the message. urging that the min- CTS end the strike in the interests of the public.
 While many propositions have been under discussion, it is almost certain that the administration is taking up only one plan at a time. The present plan is that outlined in the Associated Press dispatches Saturday and Sunday, and contemplates an end of the strike by the action of President Mitchell and his associates and a full Investigation of the mining conditions later.
 No hope is entertained than anything can be accomplished through the coal operators since the attitude they took at the conference Friday. Should the movement now on foot fail, there seems to be no other plan which presents a feasible solution of the serious prob

THE RAINY
Body Encased in Block Of
Crystal Ice Ali Winter.

In the heart Ola block Of crys.
tai ice. the dead body Of a man
was found on the Rainy River,
opposite the town OF Beaudette.
The body was soon identified as
that Of an old settler in the dis
.trict, named McInnis. The cir
.cumstances surrounding the
death are rather unusual
Last autumn, just before the
ice formed on the Rainy river,
he fell out of a canoe and was
drowned. Although a search
was made for the body it was not
recovered, and a couple of days
after the river froze over. The
result was that all hopes OF find.
ling the body was abandoned.
BUTT was evident that soonafter
| the river froze over the body rose
but was prevented from coming
to the surface by tho ice, which
formed over and around it.
There it lay till the breaking up
|of the river revealed the tragedy.
The body was well preserved,
the only thing to show that death
had not occurred only few
hours previous was that the
skin on the hands and face was
slightly peeled.

Rulings on
Primary Election

At this time it may be peril.
nent to publish a few rulings by
Attorney General Douglas on a
few points involved in primary
elections:
No one can be a judge at the
primary election who has not
been a resident Of the precinct
thirty days.
A man who is under twenty
one years Of age cannot register.
This applies regardless Of the
circumstances that he will be
twenty-one before the election in
November.
Names cannot be inserted on
the ballots; neither can candi.
dates on one ticket be substituted
for those on another. A voter
can only vote for candidates who
are all Republicans or all Demo
Gratis, as the case may be, and
cannot vote mixed ticket.
