Pretoria, May 27.-The prevalence

facts The protraction OF the coarar.

The delegates to the conference. al.

WilkssbSrre, Pa, May ZS.--The re-
port that President Mitchell had con-
ferred with members OF the Civic Fed
Grafton In Chicao. and that efforts TO
settle the strike were about to be re-
newed, was received with Indifference
here The miners are willing and anx-
lous 70 submit their claims to arbitra-
ton at any time, but they do not ex-
pect the operators to yield, unless the
union succeeds In controlling the sit
uation by completely cutting on their
coal supply. The idle miners are more
intent on learning how and when the
bituminous coal is TO be shut out OF
the eastern markets than they are 10
hear peace reports, which are no longer
regarded seriously. AS the railroads
are burning soft coal. the miners are
satisfied that the anthracite supply is
about exhausted. and they are In favor
or cutting of the bituminous supply
at once.
1t Is estimated that from 1900 to
$4,000 mine workers, mostly young
men, have left the Wyoming Vaney for
the bituminous fields in the west and
large cities throughout the country.
Should the strike continue for another
month, and the miners continue to
leave at anything like the rate they
arenow doing. the operators NAV he

THE FIGHT IN GEORGIA.

The Atlanta, Georgia AGE, Col. w.
A. PLEDaER and Mr.. PEYToN A. ALLEN,
editors in commenting upon the terri
BILE tragedies in Pittsburg, suburb of
that city, May 18th. 1902, says that ex-
Policeman KERsEY (white) lived with
JOSIE SMITH, a colored woman.
RICHARDSON upon learning of it rep
rimanded the ex-police officer for his
conduct. Thereupon, the police auth
critics of Atlanta were called upon to
go outside of their jurisdiction to assist
IN arresting colored man, who had
chastised white man for sleeping with
Negro woman.
RICHARDSON, with his friends were
barricaded in house. An at
tempt was made to storm the place with
the following result:
ED. BATTLE, (white,) bailiff Of Full
ton county, dead; EDWARD CRABrRRR,
(white) city policeman, dead; H. G..
OsBURN, (white) policeman of Fulton
county, dead; THOMAS GRANT, (white)
city policeman, dead; s. A. KERLIN,
(white) wounded; w. A. WRIGHT,
(white) wounded in the left shoulder:
w. L. Jackson, (white) wounded in the
thigh; OWEN HEARD, (white) county
policeman. wounded in the arm; Officer
SPRADLIN, (white) wounded In the arm.
1t will be seen that four white men
were killed and five wounded.
The following colored men were kill
ed:
WILL RICHARDSON. He died in his
own house and was burned to death.
He never surrendered, but killed four
men before he yielded up the ghost.
JOHN HARRINGTON, an unknown col
ored man, thought to be CHARLES
CLIsBEY. WILL GREGG. SHEPHERD
FINER, hackman was shot through
the hand
1t will be seen that four colored men
lost their lives and one was wounded.
The affair took place few hundred
yards outside Of the city limits.
The county police attempted to raid
che place, and when unable to succeed
called upon the city police for assist
ance with the above terrible results.
When it was ascertained that they
could not brighten the colored men into
submission, the Governor was appealed
60 for the military.
There were only three colored men in
the barricaded store. They were arm
ed with a number of Winchester rifles
and a small gatling gun.
The colored men knew how to shoot
and every crack of rife seems to have
found a lodging place in the body of
some one of the besiegers.
A colored man, named WILL GREY
was heard to say that it was a shame to
kill colored people that way. he had
no sooner spoken the words when he
was riddled with bullets. He died that
night.
The better class Of white people were
conservative. Gov. GAMBLER s procla-
nation had a soothing effect and no
further bloodshed was precipitated.

last evening by the breaking down of
temporary sidewalk at Fifth avenue

the parade OF militia in honor of the
visit OF the French Rochambeau COM
mission to this city.
Two hundred persons were on the
sidewalk when IL gave way. They were
precipitated 20 feet into an excavation
for new building. and fell upon piles
OF building material.
The accident occurred Just as the
head of the parade had passed the
corner. The French visitors had gone
past, and knew nothing Of the accident
until some time later.
Troop c had just ridden by and the
Twenty-second Regiment was passing
when the crash came. The officers in
command at once gave the order to
break ranks. and so militiamen wero

calls were sent for police reserves and
ambulances, and in a very short time
those who fell were assisted out of the
excavation. and the work of binding
up wounds and conveying those most
injured to hospitals was in full swing
The authorities are busy cndeavoring
to discover who was to blame for the
accident. Coroner Scholer says the

OPERATORS CHEERFUL
They Believe Many Pumpmen

OFFERING So A DAY FOR MEN

Mine Workers Leaders Expect All
PumPmen In Hazleton District to
Strike On Monday Next u conces
sions Are Not Granted.
Wilkesbarre, Pa. May 27.-The op-
orators are more cheerful than they
nave been at any time since the strike
began. Returns from several districts
whore the engineers and pumpmen
were polled show that many voted
against strike. The operators de
clare that they will now have no diff.
hcuity in keeping their pumps going,
and that although oil the firemen go
out they will be able. with their clerks
and bosses. and the aid OF the coal and
| iron policemen. to keep up steam.
II they need non-union firemen they
can got them readily, they state. The
men needed to man the fires will be
housed at the mines in order that the
strikers shall have no opportunity to
interfere with them without breaking
into the company's grounds
AS result of a poll made by the
executive board, the local mine work
ers' leaders expect that all the engi.
neers. hremen and pump runners In
the Seventh. or Hazleton, district will
respond to the strike order on Monday
next il they are not granted an eight.
hour day by that time. In this region
all these men are affiliated with the
United Nine Workers. Some of the
fremen and pump runners wanted to
go out with the miners two weeks
ago, but were restrained by the dis
trict officers. Meetings OF the exscu.
tive board are held daily. and the
leaders are in close touch with the sit
uation at every colliery.
Coke Bros. G. Co. had agents in town
last night, offering SO a day to men
wanted as pump runners, to take the
places of the strikers on Monday. At
the Derringer colliery Of Coke Bros.
& Co. such feeling has been mani
tested by the people against a clerk
who took the place OF a fireman that
he fears to return TO his home. He is
quartered in a caboose near the mine.
The caboose Is guarded day and night
by two special officers.
II is not possible to conceal the fact
that the mine workers. especially in
the Lehigh region, are becoming very
restless. The miners in the last
named region openly declare that they
will not permit the pumps to be run
by non-union men. The spirit OF un-
rest is also, according TO reliable re-
ports, pronounced IN all three districts
and the conservative leaders are ap-
prehensive lest disorder should occur
before the return OF Mr.. Mitchell. who
is expected by Thursday.
Rev. Father ]. V. Hussie, rector of
st. Gabriel's Church. opened a school
for striking breaker boys. The at
tendance was so good that an addi-
tional school will be started today.
II was learned last night that Dun
can Moorehead, the timekeeper at the
Carson washery, had been shot by a
drunken Italian, who narrowly missed
wounding several other people on the
Yorktown bicycle path, as he was on
his way home to NcAdoo on Sunday
night. The Italian IL a striking miner,
but IL is asserted that he did not
know Aoorohead, and that the shoot.
ing was purely accidental.
