Harper's Ferry, the Gate to the shenan-
doah Valley.
Where the three States of Virginia,
West Virginia and Maryland come
together; where the Potomac and
Shenandoah Rivers unite; where the
towering sleeps of the Blue Ridge
end abruptly, frowning upon the
heights of Maryland and Bolivar
Heights in West Virginia, lies the
quaint historic town of Harper's
Ferry. John Brown baptized it in
blood in 1859 when he captured the
town and U. S. Arsenal and made his
final and fatal stand in the engine
house (known afterwards as John
Browns Fort, alongside the Balti-
more Y Ohio Railroad. a plain shaft,
simply inscribed, now marks the loca-
tioI.
Again in 1861, grim visaged war
seized the village and held it tight in
its grasp for nearly four years. The
deeds that were done, and the tales
that are told concerning Harper's
Ferry fill volumes.
The heights at Harpers Ferry
guarded the Shenandoah Valley 1t
was a most important stronghold to
be desired when some great campaign
was planned by either army.
From Harper's Ferry the Shenan-
doah Division of the Baltimore &
Ohio R. R. extends southwark to
Charlestown, Winchester, Harrison
burg and Lexington. Battlefelds
surround the village in all directions.

A team OF two horses attached to
buggy, the property of Thomas
Flanagan, lumberman operating
at Swallow Falls and driven by Mr..
Gilligan, an employee, took fright on
Second street and ran toward the
railroad crossing. Just as the horses
were upon the track a west bound
freight train came out of the cut and
frightened them all the more BY a
sudden turn they jumped from the
track, the locomotive barely missing
them. Luckily no one was injured
and the horses were caught in front
of the Ravenscroft building.

The entire anthracite coal region is
to-day in the hands of the military.
Ten thousand officers and men ffthe
Pennsylvania National Guard are scat
tered through ten counties, the number
being sufficient to furnish several Of
ficers and half a company of men for
every mine there is in the district.
Mob rule is at an end the supremacy
Of the law has been re-established, and
peace must reign, the amount of pro-
lection furnished the mineowners be-
ing sufficient to quell disorder when
first it indicates its existence. In this
condition, to which Gov. Stone consent.
ed only after delaying action as long
as he possibly could, the mineowners
have secured axactly what they claim
ed to need. At the conference at the
temporary White House last Friday
they solemnly declared that if given
adequate protection they could mine
all the coal the people needed or re-
quired to break the famine and save
them from suffering and distress.
Not only have they secured this, but
they have been voluntarily granted
the assistance of the miners, President
Mitchell's former appeal to the strik-
ers to put down disorder and preserve
the peace being a powerful adjunct to
the military force now employed.

Necessity Is the mother of invention,
says the Baltimore Herald. and re-
ports indicate that the idea contained
in this column several weeks ago that
a market could readily be found in
this country for soft coal made into
br:quets has also occurred to men WHO
have money to invest. A million dol
lar company has been organized at
ST. Louis to manufacture coal br,qucts.
Before long this kind of fuel NAV n
as familiar in this country as it is in
France.

MINERS WANT CONCESSIONS.

A leading question in Wilkesbarre is,
Will the miners yield to the desire of
President Roosevelt for them to return to
work and investigate afterwards
After most careful inquiry among the
district Office mot including the district
presidents, who are in Buffalo, and the
rank and file Of mineworkers, it was found
that sentiment is strongly against accept
ing the Presidents proposition in its
present form.
The Presidents message to Mr.. Mitchell
became known Tuesday afternoon, and
it was earnestly discussed by the striking
miners and residents generally. 1t is
positively known to those who are close
to the officers of the union that President
Mitchell and his district presidents have
all along been opposed to the men return
ing to work without some concessions,
but whether they are still so inclined with
the President appealing to them. cannot
be officially stated. 1t is reasonably GER
tain, however, that they still are opposed
to such action.
An officer of the union said Tuesday :
The anthracite mine workers of Penn
sylvania appreciate the efforts being made
by President Roosevelt to end the strike
in the interest of the entire county and
they havs only words of praise for him
However, they feel that after everything
for the last five months, the consider it
unfair for anyone to ask them to return
to work without single concession, espe-
cially when the miners see victory aim ost
at hand. The hard coal diggers of Penn
sylvania have gone into the fight to win,
and by resuming under present circum-
stances they would not be doing justice
to themselves or to the great body of
organized workmen throughout the coun-
try and other persons who have and are
financially assisting them in the present
struggle. The meetings of the locals
throughout the entire coal region to
morrow, when action will be taken in &C.
cordance with President Mitchelrs ad
dress issued last night, will bear me out"
This is the tenor of remarks of most
of the mineworkers in this region. In
connection with this, $500 striking mine
workers of the Prospect, Oakdale and
Midvale colliers of the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company met in Wilkesbare, Tues
day, and it was said they had unanimously
decided to remain on strik untile they
get some concessions.
The National Committee of the French
Miners Federation has decided to declare
general strike, which began yesterday.
1t is estimated that $4,000 men have al
ready struck in the Northern coal fields
and that 5000 have struck around St.
Etienne.

TAKE OFF THE TARIFF.

A retired mining engineer, writing
from Virginia to the Baltimore "Her:
ald," makes the following practical
suggestions
81 am personally a believer in the
great policy of protection and not in
favor If the so-called tariff revision
heresy that has eaten so viciously in
to q great party. Yet there is now
one tariff article that should be re-
moved-namelv the tariff that bars
out Nova Scotia and Welsh coal.
No mater who is in the right or
wrong. the United States treasury
already filled to repletion, can have no
use. for the money that must he paid
in duties on these two kinds of coal.
These duties could be at least tempo
rarily removed by act of Congress in
special session, and would result in q
mining of these two kinds of coal that
would speedily bring their price down
to as low a level as Pennsylvania an
thracite before the strike. With this
aid the people of the states practically
dependent upon bard coal could es-
cape the terrible suffering that must
otherwise come upon them.
The obvious first duty of the trus-
tees of an operative coal mine is to
mine the coal. They will search their
own laws and bylaws in vain for any
clause that suggests condition when
this duty would not be imperative. II
with full protection at the mines the
operators are unable to dig coal in
large quantities, it is evident that
they are an offense to the people and
they must step aside. There ara no
laws that could guarantee to these
men the continued possession of the
mines once it was proven that as own
ers of the mines they could work only
evil to the people at large"

BRYAN HAS A PLAN.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan, rursu-
ing his suggestion made some time ago,
issued Monday statement asking Presi-
dent Roosevelt to call special session Of
Congress to settle the coal strike by put
ting in force the provisions Of the Demo-
cratic party platform adopted at Kansas
City.
He compliments the President on call
ing a conference of mineowners at the
White House and says the Executive well
and forcibly presented the peoples side.
The President, he says, deserves and
should receive COMMUNICATION for his
efforts to save the people from the horrors
of a fuel famine Mr.. Bryan continues ::
IF, as alleged, the mine operators have
entered into an agreement to fix prices
and production in violation of the anti
trust law, let him enforce the law, not
merely the Injunction part, but the crimi-
nal part also. If present laws are not
sufficient let him call Congress together
and enact new laws. The emergency is
sufficient to justify it. If he does not
want to interfere with the canvass of
those members of Congress who are can
cidates for reelection he can issue the
call at once and have Congress convene
Immediately after the e'ection. But if
he wants to get the best service he will
have them act before the election, so that
their own political interests, as we'll as
the public welfare, will compel them to
act promptly. If he will issue the call and
in the call name specific and effective
measures to be considered it is more than
probable that the strikers would agree to
go back to work at the old wages pend
ing action by Congress. The situation
would thus be relieved and the danger OF
a fuel famine removed"
Mr.. Bryan suggests the following five
measures which should be recommended
to Congress
First. A law establishing a national
board of arbitration of three or five men,
bers, the President to have power to add
two temporary members.
Second. A law abolishing Government
by Injunction.
Third. A law that will discriminate be-
tween 1.-The natural man created by the
Almighty and the corporate giant created
by legislation
Fourth. A law taking the tariff from
coal.
Fifth. A law that will prevent railroad
companies engaged in interstate commerce
from operating coal mines except for the
purpose of supplying fuel for their own
engines.
Mr.. Bryan says all these measures ex-
cept the last one are advocated in the
Kansas City platform, and the last is in
harmony with the general principles laid
down in that platform.

SOLID FOR THE STRIKE.

That the presence of the entire Nation
al Guard of Pennsylvania in the coal re-
gions will have no effect so far as the
strikers are concerned seemed demon
strated Wednesday afternoon.
In Shenandoah, Mahony City, Ashland,
Centralia and Girardville are 40 collieries
which give employment to 10000 men and
boys. Meetings were held in every town
and hamlet, pursuant to President Mitch
ellis call, and resolutions were passed
unanimously to continue the strike. The
resolutions pledge unreserved confidence
in Mr.. Mitchell and declare that flooding
the coal fields with troops is 'c"ntcmpti-
BILE and grossly un Americ m
Of the 40 collieres in this district coal
is being prepared at only 3, and in quaint :
ties scarcely satisfactory to supply the
boilers at the other collieries Less than
100 tons day is going to the market.
Mine Inspector Stein says he has not
been notified to examine the inside work
ings of any of the colleries in his district.
The law requires that the mines must be
inspected before there can be any re-
sumption, and il is evident from this that
the operators do not contemplate an i'm
mediate attempt to open the mines.
