Strikers Move in Large Bod ies from Mine to Mine, Fewer Collieries Working Yesterday Than the Day Before. But Little Violence Reported in Any of the Districts. MINERS' DEMANDS GRANTED BY ONE HAZLETON COMPANY PHILADELPHIA CITY CAVALRY LIKELY TO BE CALLED OUT. Hazleton, Sept. 25. Sheriff Harvey, of this county, telegraphed tonight to the governor and General Gobin asking that troops be se,nt here as soon as pos sible. This action is the result of in formation received by the sheriff that a thousand men are going to march on Dattimer early tomiwrraw and, drive the men there from their work. Reading, Sept. 25. The complete tie- up of the Reading company's collieries north of Broad mountain continued to day. The Reading plant at Mahanoy shut down today because there was not enough coal betag irumedi to keep Ithe plant in operation. Everything about Mahanoy is shut up tight. As far as the Schuylkill region is concerned the situation slightly favors the men. New unions were organized at Shenandoah and Gilberton. Wilkesbarre, Sept. 25. The leaders of three crowds of marching strikers were arrested at Derringer this morn ing and arraigned here this afternoon. They were sent to jail In default of bail. They are charged with conspir acy. They lea a force or mmejs w Derringer, where a colliery is in oper ation, and attempted to intimidate the men. MINE OWNERS WILL MAKE CON CESSIONS. Scranton, Sept. 25. The Laffan cor respondent learned today from rename sources that the operators, out of re spect for public sentiment, have decid ed to make concessions to the miners, including the rearranging of the pow der question. They decided to meet the men to prepare a basis of settlement of all the troubles. The only obstacle to the consummation of. this is the recog nition of the United Mine workers' or ganization. AT THE READING MINES. Philadelphia, Sept. 25. Where thirty-four of the thirty-nine collieries op erated by the Philadelphia and Read ing Coal and Iron company were in operation a week ago, thriteen are working today, three, less than yester day, according to reports received at the office of President Harris, of the Reading company today. West Shen andoah, which began operations yester day morning after being shut down from from Friday, was unable to re sume today on account of being short handed. Preston colliery, just out side Shenandoah, where the militia is centered, also failed to start up today. Wadesville colliery, near Pottsville, one of the largest operated by the Reading company, did not start up be cause, according to the officials of the company, a shaft was broken. NO MEN APPEARED FOR WORK. Shamokin, Pa., Sept. 25. The offi cials of the Cameron colliery, one of the largest operations in this place, en deavored to start the works this morn ing but no miners responded to the blowing of whistles. A fruitless at tempt was made to resume work at several other collieries between here and Centralis, .but the men remained away. The North Franklin and Locust Spring collieries at Treverton and Lo cust Gap, operated by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company are still working. Everything is quiet in this district.

With the exception of the Cambridge colliery, a small individual operation, are idle. There appeared t be no disposition on the part of the employes to go to the collieries this morning and the demon stration made by the militia yesterday was repeated. The governor's troops marched over toward Preston No. .3:at Girardville and passed other collier- ies in that vicinity, but no trouble was reported. Provost Marshal Miller took the guard over to Cambridge colliery but no attempt was made by the strik ers to molest the employes of that op eration. The strike leaders express great sat isfaction over the result of their ef forts. Organizer Harris, who is here to enroll the English speaking mine workers, says he considers the nght practically won. An employe at the Hammond colliery in the Ashland dis trict Is authority for the statement that not 25, of the 600 mine workers there were members of the union when the strike was inaugurated; now at least 9 per cent, belong. General Gobin said today that it was altogether likely that he would move a portion of his command to Mahanoy City. The scant water supply here has become a serious question and as there appears but little likelihood of the evil being remedied it would be necessary to select a more suitable camp site. THE STATE! MILITARY. Harrisburg, Sept. 25. The state mili tary authorities are discussing the sit uation In the Luzerne district tonight but up to a late hour had taken no ac tion. The sheriff of the county has re quested troops to maintain order. It Is thought here General Gobin has suffi cient troops to maintain order, but if reinforcements are required the First and Second troops of the Philadelphia city cavalry will be sent. LESS COAL MINED. Philadelphia, Sept. 25. There was more activity in the coal miners' strike situation than for several days past. Men are marching from mine to mine in the Hazleton region inducing work ing miners to quit arid go home, being careful so to conduct themselves as not to transgress the law. Near Wilkesbarre several small washeries that were idle were produc ing fuel today and around Scranton the operators show a disposition in one way or another to move things. In the neighborhood of .Shenandoah, where the soldiers are located every thing was quiet though the Reading company had three less mines at vwork than yesterday. Taking the entire coal field as a whole, it may foe said, that fewer men were at work today-than any time since the strike began ' and consequently less coal is being pro duced. From Hazleton comes information that Markle & Co. have granted som of the demands made by their men ten days ago, leaving to arbitration, how ever, the main question of a reduction in the price charged miners for powder. NON-UNION MAN STONED. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 25. A non union laborer employed in the Lykens colliery was pelted with stones by a small party of strikers this morning at Wlcomsco while on his wav to work. He defended himself with a revolver and soon drove his assailants awav without doing them any harm. This is the first disturbance that has occur red In the Lykens valley reerion sincp the strike was declared. GOLD MINERS RETURN TO WORK. Victor, Colo., Sept. 25. The emoloves at Stratton s Independence mine who went on strike yesterday against an order requiring them to strip off all clothing in the presence of witnesses before leaving the mines, resumed work today. The superintendent modi fied his order to the extent of allowing them to keep on their underclothing:. This arrangement is satisfactory to the union miners, who are In favor of a close Inspection of all members of the union who may be suspected of steal ing ore. COLOMBIA REBELS ACTIVE Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 25. Great advices from Carthegena, Colombia, say the rebels are active in that depart ment. September 3 thev attacked th town but the government troops from Colon arrived just in time to prevent their success. The rebels who are un der General Gamacho will join hands with the forces of General Uribe. Plans are proceeding for another rev olution against the new but unrecog nized government.

The republican club of this city was addressed last night by a number of prominent republicans from different counties of the district. The most important speech of the ev ening was that of J. Wiley Shook, a re port of which follows. Senator Joshua A. Franks, from Swain county; led off and introduced Mr. Shook. The senator says that he cannot make a speech. In this the writer must disagree with him. He made a "sure enough" speech last night, though it was a brief one. He confessed that he had once been a democrat but said that he could not af ford to keep it up. In a democratic administration he was in debt and could sell nothing wherewith to get out of blU The little station of Almond, which was hfs home, shipped fourteen cars of the products of the country dur ing the year of 1895. Now since McKinley has come in he has paid all his debts and owes no man a dollar. The same little station has shipped 184 cars in the last year a lit tle over thirteen times as much. In that sense the democrats of Swain will find thirteen an unlucky number. He cautioned those present to guard as best they might against democratic stealing of votes, saying that if some one stole their corn they might raise more next year but would have to wait two years for another congressional election. He has the gift of putting his point very clearly and forcibly, in homely style effective as it is original. After iShook's address J. C. Poole from McDowell, held his audience and delighted them with wit and wisdom for a little space. He in his turn gave way to Major Moody, who spoke very briefly, devoting himself principally to the necessity for vigilance at the polls in November. He urged that as close a watch as possible be kept on election officers in order to make fraud on their part less easy. He also showed the 118 affidavits testifying to fraud at Jon athan's Creek a striking evidence that the Simmons officials can't be watched too closely. Space does ntot permit us to do justice to these short talks but we give Mr. Shook's address in full, which was as follows : There is in progress in this country a great battle. The triumph of one or the other o the parties engaged in this battle does not depend upon the num ber of slain in the conflict, but upon the majority who shall record their influ ence upon the successful side. As commander of the forces we have on one side President McKinley, stand ing upon his own and his party's recorl of forty years of successful, patriot'c leadership and management of the af fairs of the-grreatest nation it has ever beefir" man's privilege to organize anl maintain. Pressing onward to certain victory he is followed hy more than seven millions of courageous, loyal citi zens moved' by the best thought and conscience of the highest civilization known to man's government. As the people's great tribune, this in- 1 CALL AND SEE That we are al ways prepared to supply you with the best Wines and Wniskles... both, imported and domestic at " the CARE, & 7ABD, Props; L 21 fAfoKk M!a. " 'Pkttn VX Boston Saloon trepid leader led the patriotism of this country from the soup house and bank ruptcy into which democracy had led it, out into elysian fields of prosperity and plenty, and now he leads the hosts of patriotism to the protection of his marvelous achievements against the assaults of the allied enemies of all that is good and useful at home, and the comfort and support of foes abroad. Standing upon the threshold of a new century, with proud retrospect of the achievements of our party in the past, and a full reliance in the righteousness of our cause and policy for the future we welcome the fray, as Ood shows us the light to direct us in the way. When an Individual or political party solicits the support of his fellow citizens that he or it may profit by their support, such individual or party should be able to give those besought a reasonable and satisfactory vindica tion of the righteousness of his cause, and why his auditors should not sup port those opposed to his policy. It be comes then the first duty of Mr. Mc Kinley and his followers to give the people of this country a good reason why he and his party should be contin ued in control of the nation's affairs, and it becomes their duty in the second place to tell the people why their op ponents should not be entrusted with the management of those affairs. If both of those conditions are met by Mr. McKinley and his partisans in a satisfactory way, it then becomes the duty of all patriotic citizens to support that candidate and those policies that are best suited to their individual wants and the general food of the country. No good citizen will demand more; no patriot will be satisfied with less. Come, then, let us reason to gether and from such facts as we shall be able to brlner out from the exneri- ences of the past and promises for the future, draw our conclusions and up on those conclusions base our actions when we are called together on the coming 6th of November to decide for ourselves and our posterity the future good and honor of a common country. Four years ago on the 4th of next March Mr. McKinley was Inaugurated president, after having been chosen to that exalted position in one of the hardest fought battle of our political history by the greatest popular ma jority ever given any candidate for that high office. When he took charge of that important tpost, he found stag nation in all departments of business, depreciation in values of all properties, destitution in the homes of the laborer and those in the humble walks of life, closed mills, shops and factories, bank ruptcy in all trading pursuits, and a prostratet depleted national treasury. The public soup houses and official auc tioneers were the only well patronized institutions and individuals in the country, while ruin, wretchedness and degradation flourished in every com munity. Upon assuming the duties of the trust placed in his keeping by the people, Mr. McKinley found the bonded debt of the nation increased from $585,029,S30, where it stood at the close of President Harrison's administration four years be fore, to $847,365.130,-)eside a current de ftcit in the treasury of $135,470,055.17. When It is remembered that Presi dent Harrison's administration in four years preceding Mr. Cleveland had ac cumulated a surplus of $209,554,348.18, and that President McKinley's admin istration in its first three years has spent two years in war, and the sup pression of an Insurrection more ex- (Contlnued on fifth page.)
