Will Return to Work Pend ing Final Settlement. Italian Miners Fight in the Lacka wanna Region. Less Than One- Half the Reading1 Col lieries Working. GRIEVANCES OF EMPLOYES BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF OPERATORS BY STRIKE AND CONFERENCES HAVE BEEN HELD UNWILLINGNESS TO TREAT WITH THE UNION. Hazleton, Sept. 25. Arbitration has won a preliminary victory in the an thracite coal region. The miners em ployed by the Markles, at Jedd's, re plied today to the firms' answer. They accepted the three firms' replies to their grievances, asked for arbitration on five and reserved the right to ask for arbitration on another by reference to committee . They also agreed to re turn to work pending a decision. The members of the firm were pleased with the men's action. Less than one half of the Reading coal mines are at work. The task of organizing the men into unions is pro ceeding steadily. Labor leaders in the Scranton district declare if the operators make any con cessions to the men these concessions must be before the miners return to work and not afterward. v One thousand two hundred miners of the Lykens Valley region met at Will iamstown today and after listening to a labor agitator refused, unahinfously, under advice of a priest, to go on strike. WILL NOT RECOGNIZE UNION. Scranton, Sept. 26. It appears that the strike has brought to the attention of the operators in a more marked manner the grievances of tneir em ployes and that in the various confer ences held the opportunity has been afforded to discuss the grievances both from their own standpoint and that of the men. Public sentiment, especially as regards the question of the price charged miners for powder, has also been a material factor in the proceed ings and an understanding exists that when work is resumed the terms of settlement will be made known. But there is an understanding that come what may the settlement shall not be affected through the united mine workers. While the many mine work ers are anxious to settle the strike and return to work regardless of the means by which an amicable settlement is made, there is quite a strong sentiment to remain out until the union is recog nized and until that organization is satisfied that work can be resumed advantageously to the union. HAZLETON REGION QUIET. A Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 26. The re quest of Sheriff Harvey that troops be sent to Luzerne county, made yester day, is still under consideration but it IS almost certain that none will be sent until there are further develop ments requiring their services. The entire Hazleton region was very quiet today, no marches or disturbances hav ing occurred anywhere during the night or this morning. The sheriff did not specify any com mand. He informed the governor that under no circumstances would he shoot a man; that he "would not make the mistake that Sheriff Martin made three years ago when a score of men were shot to death by deputies at Latti mer." The governor repUed to him that he would take the whole subject f under careful consideration and woulcfiet him know later what he would do in the matter.

BLOODSHED IN L CKAWAN A RE GION. Scranton, Pa., Sent. 26.-The first bloodshed which may toe laid tto he strike of the miners la the Lacka wama region is reported (this morning , from Dudley, a imlning settlement at ;tihe foot of the Trtouinitain in old Forge town ship, about six anifles from Scranton. Three men were wounded in ttherowv in w hich about twenty revolver- shots were fired. The participants .were, ali Kalians and! were mostly men who inad before the strike fbeen (working 4n Jer raymi No. 1 mine, near Bend'hamu, as nonunionists, but who 'became maemibers of the Uni'ted' Mine Workers two weeks ago. Previously there rw&s badi Wood between these men and others -f their own nationality who had' been on a: strike at Jermyini's for six months and several clashes occurred. Last nletot the men go(t into a fight on the roadiway neair Barber ton. IVevolvers were drawn by several and when the ibattle was' oyer three men were down in the road, one so badly wounded! that Dr. Tkalim this monring had little hope for his1 re covery. Several arrests have .been made. The man dangerously wounded Is Nick Genttlicore, only ome man Is un der arrest, the others having fled. SAYS TROOPS HAVE BAD EFFECT. Siienandodh, Pa., Sept. 26. Organizer George Garris of the United! Mine workers came here today and formed an ore-aniztoitlon of Enerli&h-smea-kine mine workers. He announced itlhia;t.250 men had signed- the memihersihin mil. Mr. Harris made the following state- menft : "Of the 35,000 mine workers of the Ninth district (Schuylkill) I can safely say t'hait (fully 27,000 are now idle arid by Thursday evening- the tie up" in this district will be complete. We regret very much Ifchat the county authorities were influenced to call the state troops. .However, it must be admitted even by those who are responsible for (their toe ing here, that their appearance alone (the . streets and on the hill sides has had the opposite effect to that intended. The sentiment of a majority of mine workers who have a drop of Anglo- Sax- oto bdood in thedr veins Is against toeing escorted to and- from their work toy sol diers or deputy sheriffs."

Mob Broke Into the Hall in Which He Was SpeakiDg. Shouting the Battle Cries of "Coeur d'Alene'7 and Bryan "l Rioters Followed Eoosevelt't Train to Cripple Creek WERE THERE HALTEI BY A STRONG- FORCE OF POLICE ROOSEVELT INSISTED ON FINISHING- HIS SPEECH AT VICTOR DESPITE DISORDER. Victor, Colo., Sept. 26. Some roughs met Roosevelt with sticks, stones and vile epithets when he attempted to speak here this afternoon. He was struck with a club but not hurt.' The meeting developed into a riot, tout de spite thp turmoil Roosevelt insisted on finishing his address and refused to leave the hall where the meeting was held until he had concluded. In the crowd that attacked him were many miners from the Coer d Alene district, in Idaho, and they raised the name of Coeur d' Alene as an alternate battle cry with the cry of "Bryan." The meeting had hardly gotten under way when the mob that assaulted Roosevelt entered the hall. It was due to the strenuous efforts of Lieutenant Bell, of the First volunteer cavalry, and Gen er"' Irving Hall that no bones were broken. They broke into the centre of the crowd and kept the campaign or ganizations which surrounded Roose velt from comin' in direct contact with the rioters until just before Roosevelt reached his -train. Then the Use of Tlubs and the, throwing of stones. be gan and bloody heads and bruises were plenty. The man wio struck Roose velt was ridden down and trampled on by one of Roosevelt's mounted escorts. He was carried away before he could be arrested. The train departed from Victor amid a shower of stone, Roose velt standing on the hack platform de spite the efforts of his friends to get him into the car. The mob followed the train to Cripple J Chwang and said: "You have caused all the iicconvenience and disgrace of the court -and the king 'being compelled to leave Pekin. Now can't you make a suggestion of some way !to get out of this trouble?" The dowager empress, pointing her finger directly at General Wank Wen Shae, who was reported at one 'time to have been killed while as sisting foreigners, and afterwards was said it have had a fight with Prince Tuan's forces, said: "You 'are the only intelligent man in the council, and we must depend on you wholly to suggest plans. You are commanded in answer to .the present memoriail to show us a way out of (the difficulty." Tuan and .Chwang listened angrily to the words of the emperor and' empress, but made no reply and the audierajce end- ted. Creek but a strong force of special po lice was present and the rioters halted some distance away and contented themselves with making a noise. Bafth, iMe., Sept. 25.

Washington, Sept. 26. It' is believed that General Chaffee, being at Tien Tsin, has toy this time received the in structions cabled him yesterday rela tive to the reduction of his force in China .4 If he returns to Pekin to exe cute .the order it would be Monday at" least before he can begin the move ment toward Tien Tsin. It is thought here that with a view to preveting any possible misunderstanding he has al ready acquainted the military repre sentatives of the powers at Tien Tsin of the projected withdrawal of the American forces. This is deemed more necessary because of the possibility of the appearance of Field Marshal Von Waldersee atvTaku or Tien Tsin at any moment. It is desirable that the change of the status of the American troops shall have taken place before he appears on the scene. The rapid trend of events in China toward actual and formal war which is regarded as certain to follow a re fusal on the part of Germany and some of the other continental powers to en ter into negotiations for a settlement with China, is regarded here as justi fying the decision of the state depart ment to withdraw the American troops now that the purpose for which these troops were sent into China has been accomplished. The department has held from the first that a state of war did not exist with the Chinese government, and it secured the assent of all the powers to this proposition. It still does not be lieve there is sufficient erround for changing that position and refuses to be drawn into., war without such ground. What effect, if any, a declara tion of war upon China toy Germany alone or in an alliance with other pow ers would have upon the negotiations which Mr. Conger has in hand, can only beiconjectured. Mr. Conger was to arrange the pre liminaries for a meeting between the representatives of the powers of China with a view to effecting a harmonious settlement. His action was not to be mandatory in any -sense upon any power and each was 'free -to reject the good offices of the United States if it saw fit. A failure of Mr. Conger's ef forts wouid not, it is believed, involve much change in the American pro gram. Our government would simply be obliged to deal directly with Chinar with a view to the protection of our interests, abandoning further efforts to bring the powers into harmony in the settlement. As to the military plans already laid down they will be unchanged, it is said here. If the belligerent power or powers seize upon Pekin the American minister will still remain there and General Chaffee's legation guard will stay with him, but 'take no part in the war. The power in possession carl find no valid objection to the presence of this legation guard. At Constanti nople the legations and embassies all have their canvasses, or legation guards, and while they are not numer ous the principle is recognized and mere business does not affect it.

Verdict Fixes the Punish, ment at Death. Breaking Down of His Alibi the Turn ing Point Against Him. Jury Was Divided for Some Hours on tie Degree of Penalty. SOME AT FIRST FAVORED LIFE IMPRISONMENT EXPRESSIONS p ? OF JURORS PREVIOUS TO THE TRIAL THE GROUNDS FOR A MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL. Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 26. Jim How ard was found guilty of the murder of William Goebel and will pay the death penalty. The prisoner was charged with being the principal in the assas sination of Governor Goebel. The jury in the case had made no verdict when the court met at 9' O'clock this morning. The court convened and . Judge Cantrill sent the jury out to con sider the case. The jury retired to Its room at 9:10 and returned with its ver dict at 9:43. The court room was crowded with spectators and the vast crowd was white with suppressed ex citement as Foreman Crutcher, of the Jury, passed the written verdict up' to the clerk. Deputy Clerk Elliott read the verdict, which found the defendant guilty and fixed his punishment at death. Howard occupied a seat by his attor ney. He did not display the least 'agi tat on and iwas apparently no more concerned than .any other person in the court room. The verdict was a surprise as the, general puDfrc: wOT led to Ttelievethair6-"1' the jury was divided on the question of the guilt or innocence of the defend ant, but it turns out that the difficulty in reaching a verdict was over the de gree of punishment, some of the jurors favoring the life imprisonment while others stood out for the death penalty -and finally won their associates over. One of the jurors after the Jury was discharged stated that a number, of ballots were taken, tout the first result ed in a unanimous vote in favor of a verdict of guilty. After4 that the bal-7 lots were as to the degree of punish ment, and on the ballots ten men voted. ' for the death penalty while two voted for life imprisonment. This was while the jurors were in the jury room yes terday afternoon. The first ballot to- day resulted in a verdict, the two jur ors who had voted for life imprison ment gave in to the majority and voted for the death penalty. After the verdict wasjendered How ard was remanded to the Jail where he was followed by his bosom friend, John G. White, who seemed almost paralyzed by the verdict. Howard's cheeks also blanched as he stood up to accompany the jailor back to his cell.'' ' The jury which tried the case was di vided politically, nine democrats, one republican and two anti-Goebel demo crats. The verdict of the jury, it is believed, was based largely upon the destruction of Howard's alibi, upon which he de pended solely. One of the jurors admitted that the failure of Howard to bring any of the occupants of the executive building on January 30 to testify that he was not there was considered by the Jury as an indication that he was there. The tes- ' timony of Gaines as to seeing Howard run out of the grounds and also of Stubefield, who. swore that Howard confessed the killing a few days after the murder were the other principal points upon which the jury relied.
