and Sympathizes With the Men
 Efforts of Others.
 Buffalo, Aug. 24.-United States Sem ator Hanna arrived in Buffalo to-day from Niagara Falls.
 For the first time Senator Hanna stated the abandonment finally of all efforts to end the great coal strike. He said it sorrowfully, for his sympathies are with the miners, and he believes the operators should meet them in ar bitration.
 q have exhausted my efforts" said Senator Hanna. T have done all in my power and can do no more. I will make no further attempt, for it would be useless"
 He said there was no chance of ar bitration so long as only one side-the miners-were willing to arbitrate. He gave it as his opinion that the miners will not give in so long as they are able to fight. Tt will not br short fight, |" said he. Tt will be prolonged, and such prolongation will mean not only hard ships for the miners and the women and children dependent on them, but it will have it's effect on the American people. The longer this struggle continues the greater will be the increase in the price of coal"
 He said he considered the refusal of the operators to arbitrate as final. q talked with MT Morgan before he went to Europe" continued the senator, ''and before the strike was fully under way. He deplored the situation, but could take no active part toward settlement. His attitude, in my opinion, is un- changed"
 Hazleton, Pa., Aug. 24-D. J. McCar- thy chairman, and Matthew Long and Harry Silverman, members of the ex- ecutive committee of the Peoples alli- ance of Hazelton, went to New York to- day to endeavor to put into operation some plan for looking to a termination of the strike. They decline to make public their plan or to say whom they hope to see in the metropolis. The Peo- ples' alliance is composed of business men and miners.
 Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 24.-Reports received at brigade headquarters to-day showed the entire anthracite coal field to be very quiet. Brigadier General Gobin said to-day that settlement of the strike appears to him to be as far off as when he arrived here nearly four weeks ago. The troops will in all prob- ability remain here until the strike comes to an end,
 Wilkesbarre Pa, Aug. 24.-The com- mittee from the public alliance of this city which waited on Senators Quay and Penrose at Atlantic City last week and urged them to use their good of fees to bring about arbitration in the coal strike. performed a like mission in this city to-day when they called on President Mitchell and requested him to cooperate with the Pennsylvania sena- tors in bringing about a settlement of the strike. MT. Mitchell said he would do anything that was honorable to bring about an adjustment and he fur nished the committee with the statts- tics of the strike from the miners point of view which were forwarded to Sena- tor Quay tonight. It has been just learned that President Mitchell was badly shaken up in railroad wreck at Reising, Ill.,, early last Monday morning. The train ran into wash out and nearly all the cars left the track The sleeper in which MT. Mitch- ell was riding left the rails and he was thrown with much force from his berth.
