Washington, ID. c., August 10.
The prediction is made here that
shO nd the President call an extra ses-
sion of the Senate to consider reciprOc-
ity treaty with Cuba vigorous fight will
be made against the measure. This OPP
position, it is expected, will be headed
by Sc nator Burrows, who was hugely in
strumental in preventing action Of the
Cuban bill last session. Just what form
the contest will take is not clear, and
senator Burrows does not know Just who
will be on his side. As member of the
finance committee, he may ask that a
treaty which the President may negoti-
ate with Cuba be sent to the commit
tee on finance and not to the committee
on foreign relations. In this contention
he would be opposed by Senator Spooner,
who prepared an opinion which held
that the foreign relations committee
should have consideration of commercial
treatiee.
Senator Scott, of West Virginia, is
credited with having given circulation
to statement to the effect that President
Roosevelt has taken sides with the
Addicks against the Dupont faction in
the republican fight which has for years
been the cause of the disruption of the
party in Delaware and has left that
State without representation in the L.
:. Senate President Roosevelt is said
to have expressed the hope that the
election of Addicks, and perhaps an Adj
dicks man, to the L. ). Senate, would
strengthen the lines of the administration
in the event that Cuban reciprocity
should again be the issue between the /
President and certain republican Sena-
tors who are welded to the beet sugar

DURING THE past few days dispatches
we're sent out rom the coal mining dis
tricts stating that preparations for re-
suming operations were in progress and
that whcn operations were resumed
trouble woIld result. These predictions
were verified at Duryea, Pa, Yesterday,
when the starting of the Warnecke
Washery was followed by an attack by
a mob on the guard, when a fight ensued,
resulting in the wounding of several
persons. In a country supposed to be
free This is strange state of affairs.
Men wh) do no. want to work have a
perfect right to quit, but their rights
stop Just there, and their assumed right
to prevent Others from working or toprc-
vent owners of mines or manufactures
from operating them to suit themselves
has no standing in equity or in law. Many
strikers now forfeit the sympathy and
support of their iellowmen by their
arbitrary and unreasonable demands and
riotous conduct, and their attempts to
coerce their employers meet with little
success. Strikers are the first to kick
when coercive measures are applied to
them.

THE TROUBLE AT DURYEA.

Duryea, Aug. 15.-An ominous quiet
rests over Duryea this morning where
yesterday four men were injured IN a
pitched battle between the strikers and
police at the Warnecke washery. No
trouble is expected today as no attempt
will be made to start up the washer UNI
i'll troops are sent. Frederick Warneke
has asked the sheriff for troops, though
il is believed that the local police, with
the sheriff, can suppress any disorder.
1t appears that the striking Llthuanl-
ans. Slavs and Italians have formed a
league among themselves to prevent the
resumption of work at all costs. SO long
as there are no attempts to start up
collieries, the league vii lremain inactive,
but at the first attempt at resumption 1t
will take measures t0preyent operations.
The men wounded in yesterdays ARRAY
are improving this morning.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 15.-The
twenty-four coal and iron police and
armed workmen of the Warneke colliery
who were arrested for participation in
Yesterday afiray in Duryea were brought
before Judge Halsey this morning and
charged with melting to riot and assault.
Judge Halsey held themfor examination
next Monday on temporary bail of SlO,-
600. The men were released. Advices
from Duryea indicate that the feeling
there against the Warneke washery is in
creasing as a result of yesterdays fight
and trouble will break out at The least
proyocation. 1t is further tated that
the Warncke men are determined on a
resumption OF work soon.

PRESIDENT WILL NOT INTER

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. l5-President
Roosevelt will hold aloof from the re-
publican squabhle in Delaware. Rather
than mix in be would see two demo-
Gratis elected TO the United States Senate
by the legislature next January. In con-
versation with friend yesterday the
President said that he had done his best
last winter to bring harmony out of dis
cord in the little State. He had called
Il dozen or more OF The most prominent
Delaware republicans to the White
House and had urged them, for the coed
Of the party, to bury the Ratchet and
elect men 10 the vacancies in the Senate.
lie proposed that they name two of
Addicks' men if they could not elect Il e
big gas boss himself But Addicks'
friends swore that they must have Ad-
dicks or nobody. The politicians in the
election offhe State were just as determn-
ed to have the State Unrepresented rather
than see Addicks go to the Senate. So
the Presidents efforts went to naught.
The President has been approached by
friends of Addicks within the last few
days who urged that he use his influence
to prevail upon the governor 30 call an
extra session of the Legislature. The
next State assembly, they said, is very
likely to be democratic, and 1.-two republic
n senator's are not elected in bury,
the republican majority in Congress will
probably loose the seats. Even this
fearful plea did not move the President.
He has made it his policy to keep out
of party factionalties and he is said to
hold to that course.

THE RECENT political disturbances in
Santo Domingo and the present revolu-
tiOnary outbreak in Haiti have served to
attract attention among public men
some of whom talk of the MANAGE
which those republics present to the
United States, and revive the question
of annexation, which has been given
more or less consideration in a sporadic
way for the past thirty years. The
creed of the United States will sooner or
later cause the country to invent some
excuse to lay hands on Santo Domingo.
1t has, truly in a sporadic way, cast
coyetous eyes upon the island for the
)ast three decades, but for the past four
years there has been a much more mani
fest desire to make it a part Of the
United States, as it is sandwiched
between an island now owned by this
country and another over which it sways
a suzerainty.

FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST Is, 1902

A GENTLEMAN Of this city who has
lust returned from the coal region of
PENNSYLVANIA says next week will end
the vexatious strike which has for
months convulsed that region and in
conyenienced thousands throughout the
country. The strike fund is diminishing
daily from the fact that contributions
are slackening slowly. The relief com
mittee at present allows striker and
his wife Sl25 day. If they have
children they receive II cents each
With this scanty donation half a million
dollars a week are required. Therefore
it is but matter Of small time when
the deluded miners will be compelled t.
ignore the orders of President Mitchell
aud return to work. Mitchell will then
pass into an eclipse, as have Debs,
Powderly, Martin Irons and others OF
mushroom nOtoriety. The closing
scenes of the strike will be hailed with
delight by all, especially those of limit
Cd means, who have anticipated the adj
vent of fall with no little anxiety. In
connection with this last labor convul-
sion the operators Of the mines have
again called attention to the fact that
thsughtless millions unacquainted with
the issues at stake condemn them for
not treating or entering into covenant
with irresponsible or sell-constituted
labor leaders. The mine owners say
this is impossible, from the fact that the
labor unions are not chartered Organiza-
tons and cannot be sued for breach Of
contracts while the operators can be held
responsible for such acts. Recently the
operators have suggested to those repre-
senting unions that they place them
selves before the law in the same posi-
tions held by the operators, and then
covenants can be entered into. The
leaders refused to entertain such a sug-
gestion, saying in plain language they
would assume no position where they
could be sued.
