CAMBRIDGE, O., Sept. 17.-People nv-
ing in the Paint Creek valley are greatly
alarmed over the appearance Of smoke and
%sulphurous gases from Copperas mountain
which can be seen from this place. Ever
since the first eruption Of Mont Pelee
smoke has issued from the mountain at in
tervals. but only in the past few days have
the smoke and gases become especially no.
ticeable, and many attribute 1t to the re-
cent eruptions in Martinique. Investigation
shows that the slate In the mountain has
become hot, and some of 1t has become a
dull red from the action Of the heat. The
smoke issues from the side and not the top
asked to make a thorough investigation.

Peaceful Settlement Likely.

The following is from the current
issue of the United Nine Work
ers Journal:
The anthracite situation is clearing
up. Through the superb generalship OF
President Mitchell and District Presi-
dents Duffy, Nichols and Fahey the
onus Of a strike, If one occurs, will rest
upon the operators. This insures the
good will of the pnblc on the side of
the miners Again the Civic Federation
has shown that it is mighty factor
for good in an industrial war. That
fact can not be gainsayed,
by its efforts a truce is declared for
thirty days, during which time reason
will have had time to work out its course
upon the operators and cause them to
see that there is nothing but justice in
the claims of the miners. Reflection will
have had time to cool the abrupt anger
OF the coal kings and cause them to view
matters in a different light aud be
convinced that their take it or leave
it'' is not calculated TO insure that peace
and harmony necessary to successfully
conduct business where there are two
parties necessary to that success.
1.-The operators are to be congratulate
ed upon taking their first step n that
direction. The ice has been broken
and the rest will come easy. Personal
contact with Messrs. Mitchell, Fahey,
Nichols and Duffy without doubt con-
vnced them that they had formed mis-
conceptions of those four gentlemen;
that they were dealing with men with
cool heads and clear ideas; that they
were not rash, ignorant or radical, but
plain, shrewed, honest men who sought
only justice and who would neither take
or give less. On the face of affairs
there will be no clash in tho anthracite
region unless the operators refuse to be
guided by common sense"
