Warnke Colliery Still Working.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. OF.
W. Hart, chairman of the Public alli-
ance Of Wilkesbarre, has issued an adj
dress to the press and public, in which
he urges that every influence be used
TO bring about the settlement of the
coal strike by arbitration. He says the
situation is now becoming acute and
threatens every business in the strike
legion. The Warnke washery at Dur.
yea prepared considerable coal for the
market. The washery is still under
heavy guard, but the strikers have
made no attempt to interfere with the
employees. Doubt is expressed at
strike headquarters whether J. Pier
pont Morgan will use his influence
with the presidents of the coal carry
ing railroads to bring the strike to a
close, and the subdistrict officers of the
United Mine Workers are of the same
opinion as their chief officer, President
John MITCHELL that the battle will
have to be fought to n finish.

Witness In Federal Court Declares
Famous Orator and Well Known
Financiers Were Back Of At.
tack ON Northern Securities.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Peter Power,
the much sought witness in the North
ern Pacific merger suit, was put on
the witness stand before Examiner
Maybey in the federal court His tes-
timony, while directly exposing those
>who backed him, fell fiat after the re.
markable exposure of Lawyer Lamb.
He was tenderly handled by the rail-
road lawyers, and the only object ac-
complished was a confederation of the
testimony of Lawyer Lamb.
Immediately after the conclusion of
! his hearing he was sent back to Lud-
low street Jail. An effort was made to
secure his discharge, but Lawyer Guth-
RE opposed it, and as Judge Lacombe.
who signed the committing order was
absent in Athens, N. Y, there was no
course left but to take Power back to
the county Jail.
Lawyer George Alfred Lamb, attor-
ney for Peter Power, told all he knew
about the Northern Pacific merger
suit. He named the men who, with
Power as plaintiff and Captain Henry
Stern as go between, he said, had
hoped to conceal their connection with
the litigation and keep their identity
hidden. Those he named were w.
Bourke Cochran, Camille Weidenfeld,
II. Content Il Co. and Edwin X. Thorn
as of the firm of Thomas Il Post, Wall
street bankers and brokers.
The story of Powers wandering
came out-a plan to send him to Eu-
rope was revealed, his quasi connec-
ton with the suit at issue, and, in
short, clear story of the most re-
marknble action ever begun to prevent
a combination of capital. LAMB said
that he was practically forced by the
people back of him to send Power
away and that they paid the expenses
Of his trip to West Hurley and to
Montreal.
Weidenfeld, Cochran and other spon-
sors Of the Power suit, Mr.. Lamb de-
clared, feared that Power would be
broken down as a witness and would
give away the people behind it,
Cochran was telephoncd to for advice
in his presence. Lamb declared lie was
one Of the persons for whom Lamb
was given to believe he was acting in
pushing the suit, and lie was one OF
those who advised Power to stay out
of the courts jurisdiction and was
ready to supply him with funds to en-
able him to do so. Mr.. Lamb told the
story readily, released, as he said he
considered himself, by the action Of his
clients in repudiatinS him as their
counsel.
Peter Power said to the best of his
belief he had received the 100 shares of
stock in payment for the use of his
name. That was his sole interest in the
suit. He had been Instructed that the
subpoena service was had and had left
New York city with that understand
ing. In Il measure his testimony was
cGrrobnrativc Of that givcH by Lawyer !
Lamb regarding the connection of
McSsrs. Cochran and Weidpnfeld with !
the suit
W. RoulkC Cochran in an interview |
characterized MI the testimony rclat- !
ing to him as false in every detail.

MADRID, Aug. 22.-All Spain is
aghast over the latest reports Of the
extraordinary eccentricities of King
Alfonso. The details of his remark
able actions, which are now becoming
known, cause the gravest fear that the
rumors Of mental alteration are true.
During his recent provincial tour the
king repeatedly gave evidence of a
lack of mental balance and almost
drove General Pacheco, his chief at
tendant, frantic by his actions
AT Oviedo at the great reception the
king complained of being bored and
asked why he could not go to bed.
Pacheco explained that etiquette de-
manded that the people leave first.
ooh, must they? replied his ma
jesty. "I'll soon send them away"
A moment later Alfonso doubled his
fists and placing them to his mouth
in imitation Of bugle sounded taps.
Everybody stood aghast and glanced
toward the king, who again sounded
taps, stretched his arms and yarned.
The people took the hint and de-
parted.
At Leon the king was met by a
brilliant procession to escort him to
the town hall. On the way triumphal
arch attracted Afonsos attention.

| WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, Aug. 22.-Ii
Is reported from an authoritative
source that Edward T. Remington is
not satisfied that his brother Robert
| died by his own hands. When il be
came known that he was entertaining
a suspicion of foul play, which origi-
| mated before he left Newport with the
body. a reporter called on Mr.. Reming-
ton and requested statement He re-
piled that he would neither deny nor
affirm anything relative to his broth
er's death except that the autopsy per-
formed revealed that the bullet in the
mouth caused death. When asked if
the bullet found Embedded in the dead
mans brain fitted the revolver found
by his side he declared that he had
nothing further to say. Asked if de-
velopments in the case could be ex-
pected, he said time alone would tell.
Mr. Remington and his attorney
Seth II. Mccormick. rs well as the ply
sicians who performed the autopsy.
were together in secret conference un
til late at night, and their action is
surrounded by much mystery. They

At Santander the king received the

keys were handed to his ma jcsty the

In the stiffness which followed the

! cried:
! Say, duke, you didn't get anything

He then laughed bosterously at YER

! While at Calmdonya the king visited
, the shrine, whics is one of the most
famous in Europe. After the "Te
! Deum' Alfonso said he WAS hungry
and wanted something to eat. Gen

He then backed into the middle of
the room.
On the road from Oveido to Micrcs
the king spied small gauge railway
and asked where it led He was told
to the mines, several miles away. This
aroused the kings curiosity, and he
said: II want to 20 there. Let us
turn"
General Pachcco demonstrated and
said that the people of Mieres had
been waiting since morning to see the
king, and it was already late.
II must disappoint them" said the
king. Am not king? I'll do what
want, and l want to see the mines"
His majesty then compelled the en-
tourage to go with him to view the
mines. In consequence the people of
Mieres, after a long wait, thought the
king was not coming and nobody was
on the streets to welcome him when he
arrived. The king constantly altered
the programme without the slightest
reason.
