GREAT SATISFACTION.
People In Anthracite Region Rejoicing
Over Peace Prospects

Over Peace Prospects
Wnkesbarre, Oct 1.-THE informa-
ton from Washington that both par
tess to the controversy in the anthra-
cite coal strike had reached an agree
ment to arbitrate and that the great
conflict was about to close was receiv-
ed throughout the entire hard coal re-
gion with the greatest satisfaction.
Strikers as rule. however. following
the example OF their leader. were not
disposed to prematurely celebrate the
outcome OF the long struggle. Their
reward for the fight they made is yet
to come in the findings Of the arbitra-
ton commission. assuming the miners
officially endorse the agreement
There seems little doubt that the
Joint meeting Of the executive boards
OF the three anthracite districts will
call a convention OF the miners to con-
slider the arbitration proposition, and
have the men return to work. There
Is belief that a general resumption OF
the coal mining will be had by Mon
day. District presidents do not share
in this belief. and some of them are OPP
posed to pushing matters. The con-
vontion could not be held before Sat
urday and they feel one day is not
enough 10 organize that body and per
NIT OF the fun discussion of the propo-
sition that is of greatest Importance 10
the miners.
President Mitchell issued the fol
! lowing statement regarding the plan
| for the settlement of the strike:
Approaching the anxiety and i'm
patience of the public and mine work
ers for some authoritative statement
! from this Office, | issue this bulletin
to say that / was unalterably opposed

form OF settlement proposed by the

from Germany to wed her sweetheart
and shortly after their marriage the
groom complained to his bride of being
sick and went to a drugstore to pro
cure medicine. After returning to his
apartments he became worse and died
about 2 o'clock Thursday morning. A
coroner's inquest developed the fact
that an overdose of morphine did the
work. Mr.. Wenderlich was a promi-

to have been well to do.

POWERFUL MECHANISM.
The Picking Up Machine Used In
Graphing Ocean Cables.

V0e PICKING Up Macnlne UoeQ IN
Graphing Ocean Cables.
A truly wonderful piece Of mechan-
ism is the picking up" machine used
in all graphing and cable holsting op-
erations. 1t is n powerful variety of
the steam winch family. but also
most aristocratic and elaborate men,
Der, fitted with gear changing clutches,
patent brakes and other ingenious ap-
pliances. To give some idea of its Gu
pabilities in dry figures it can at slow
speed lift twenty-five tons at the rate
of one mile an hour or ut fast speed
ten tons ut the rate of four miles an
hour. Moreover, it can be quickly al
tered and adapted to changing circum-
stances in speed or lifting weight.
All being made ready, the big Crap
nel attached to 700 or 500 fathoms Of
chain and rope, is passed over the bow
sheaye, or pulley, and as soon as 1t
reaches bottom the ship is sent slowly
ahead. Back and forward across the
path Of the cable, us pointed out by
the friendly marking buoys, we steam.
Several times the grapnel catches
something, only to lose its hold again,
probably an inequality upon the bot
tom, although bosun's mate mumbles
"mermaids' grottoes," but at last comes
steady strain. Every soul on board
hangs over the bow, watching the
grimy grapnel rope come steadily up
and over the well oiled pulley. At
length the grapnel itself appears, hold
ing tight on to the truant.-Lippin-

Isthmian War and the Canal.

The internal disturbances in Colum-
bla are not endangering the Panama
programme, in the opinion of the state
department.
There seems to be no reason to doubt
the assurances given by the Columbian
minister that both the party of the gov
eminent and the party of the insur-
gents want the canal and will make
any reasonable concessions in order to
secure it.
Once the necessary concessions are
secured, 1t will devolve upon our gov
eminent to preserve the peace and sup
ply police protection throughout the
conceded strip Of territory traversed by
the canal.
That is the task which our govern
ment must assume no matter which
route Is chosen. and there is about the
same difficulty to be anticipated In per-
forming the task in one place as in an
other,
The power and prestige of the United
States will serve to preserve the peace
without any serious trouble. The i'm
portant thing is to secure the conces-
sion. We are well able to provide the
necessary safeguards both during and
after construction.
The only serious danger is that de-
signing persons may embroil and en-
tsngle q too ambitious administration
and get US into unnecessary trouble in
the hope of attaining unworthy private
snds.-C Chicago Chronicle.

A STORY OF CESAR.
Tho Quality of Mercy ns Exercised
by the Great Roman.

by the Great Roman.
Caesar travelled with the retinue of q
man Of rank, and on his way to
Rhodes he fell in with an adventure
which may be something more than
legend. When he was crossing the
Ngean, his vessel is said to have been
taken by pirates. They carried him
to Pharmacusa, an island Off the Ca
rian coast, which was then in their pos,
session, and there he was detained for
six weeks with three Of his attendants,
while the rest Of his servants We're
sent to the nearest Roman station to
raise his ransom.
The pirates treated him with polite
ness. He Joined in their sports, played
games with them, looked into their
habits and amused himself with them
as well as he could, frankly telling
them at the same time that they would
be hanged.
The ransom, very large one, about
100000, was brought and paid. Caesar
was set upon the mainland, near MI
letus, where, without moments
delay, he collected some armed vessels,
returned to the island, seized the
whole crew while they were dividing
their plumber, and took them away to
Pergamus, the seat of government in
the Aslatic. province, where they We're
convicted and crucitied. Clemency was
not Roman characteristic. 1t was
therefore noted with some surprise
that Caesar interceded to mitigate the
severity of the punishment. The poor
wretches We're strangled before they
were stretched on their crosses and
were spared the prolongation of their
torture.-James Anthony Froude.

VOLCANOES.
Some Facts About These Vents to the
Enrth's Interior Fire.

Enrth's Interior Fire.
Eons ago the earth on which we
live was huge mass of fire mist"
Astronomers tell us that today in the
heavens we can see vast nebulp, sug-
gesting what the earth was once.
Gradually tn. surface of the fire
mist cooled and hardened, but the in
terror Is still intensely hot. Whether
it is solid, liquid or viscous we do not
know. This heat, raging miles below
the surface, at times escapes through
the hard crust by vents or volcanoes.
There are from 300 to $50 volcanoes
on the globe. This estimate includes
merely live volcanoes which within re-
cent times have been in action. If we
should count the many mountains scat
tered over the earth which show today
signs Of volcanic action in more re-
mote past, the estimate would have to
be increased by many hundreds.
Volcanoes would seem to be arranged
with more or less symmetry in belts
circling the great oceans. A ring of
fire surrounds the Pacific. Starting ut
the South Shetland islands, several
hundred miles south Of Cape Horn, a
belt OF volcanoes extends up the west
coast OF South America, Central Amer
tea and North America; from Alaska it
crosses the Pacific along the Aleutian
islands to Kamchatka; thence it fol-
lows the east edge of the Pacific
through the Kurile islands, Japan. For
mosa, the Philippines, the Moluccas,
the Solomon islands, the North Heb
rides, New Zealand and finally ends

SPOTTED COACH DOGS.
The breed Has Become Practically
Extinct In This Country.

Extinct In This Country.
What has become of the old black
and white spotted Dalmatian dogs,
better known as coach dogs" that
were so numerous and popular
throughout the United States from
1869 to 1882 inclusive? The breed ap-
pears to have become extinct in this
country, having, like the Newfound-
land, which has shared the same fate,
gone out of style and are 10 longer
popular. These dogs We're white in
color and spotted over every part Of
the body With small black spots the
size of a dime.
They We're first brought to England
from the Austrian province of Dalma-
tia, and are still popular to certain
extent in that country, from which the
first specimens We're brought to the
United States shortly after the civil
war. One of the reasons why this dog
disappeared SO quickly was no doubt
the fact that he had no particular use
other than to pose as a snowy animal
and to trot along by ones carriage or
coach and attract attention by his
striking color and markings. Aside
from this the Dalmatlan dog was COM
pletely worthless. He could neither
hunt, serve as n watchdog, catch rats,
fight, or do anything else that other
dogs are capable of doing, and for this
reason, no doubt, he died out.-Wash-

The landlord of the inn where he
