Tlie Big Anthracite Strike iicmnins Free of Sensational Features.

MIXERS WI-XL I.IEI1AVET)

Out. of All llie Omit. Ariny ol'Strik-' crs cry Little Disturbance p= Has Been Created.

Philadelphia, Sept. 21.—This is the 11th day oi ihe miners' strike and as yet there is no indication of surrender or concession on either sine. In fact, no overtures looking to a settlement of the differences have been made by either the strike leaders or the mine operators, \arious propositions for settlement by arbitration have been! put forward by persons not directly connected with the mining business,! but thus far practically no progress has been made in this direction.

A most noteworthy feature of the. strike is the remarkable good behavior of the strikers up to this time, espe cially when it is considered that the: claim is made that upwards of 100.-: ,000 mine workers are idle in thei ianthracite region

There has of course, been a few disturbances, but none of a character at all serious, with the exception of the one at Shenandoah on Friday last when a striker was killed during clash between a number of strikers and a sheriff's posse.

Affairs were quiet

The troops still remain in Schuy! kill comity rendezvoused in and around Shenandoah but as yet their services have not been called for the suppression of disorder.

The government has not yet complied with the request of the sheriff of Luzerne county for Troops and the sheriff has experienced no further ditliculty with the strikers. -...-,l

Two I\nds of 'I liree-M ile Tunnel Meet Wii hum an Inch Variation. St. Paul. Minn., wept. 27—President Ilill of the Great Northern has received from Chief Engineer Stevens a telegram stating that the east and the west crews in the ii use bore under the Cascade uin.niiains have met. So perfect was the engineering work and so accurate the preliminary plans and surveys that the two forces working from opposite ends in the big tunnel brought llie two ends together wiiii scarcely the variation of an inch.

Mr. Si evens says that it was the most accurate bit of work in the history of modern engineering. Now that the tremendous task of boring out over two miles of granite has been accomplished by 1,000 men after three years' labor, the work of laying the track is conqia ratively insignificant.

Joiv Codies Itecovered.

Galveston,'Sept. 27. Nearly 2,000 men are now engaged clearing the streets, removing debris and disposing of dead bodies. Twenty-five bodies were recovered yesterday and 35 the day before. Governor Sayors left here yesterday afternoon for Austin, where he will consult with the attorney general relative to a proposition from the citj government for a fund with which to operate the municipal government from now until the end of the fiscal year Feb. 28. About $100,000 ill, be required. Governor Sayers discouraged the idea of using tne relief fund for this puruose.

League Declares War.

Indianapolis. Ind., Sept. 27.—The Indiana Anti-Saloon League has begun sending out circulars headed, "A Declaration of War." The circulars say that the saloon men of the state are organizing and raising a $1,000,000 fund for the purpose of having the Nicholson law repealed by the next legislature. The league wants at least $5,000 to tight the saloon men. The circulars are to be sent over the state asking flnangial.„.ald ^..and moral sup-

through

out the region. A shooting affray oc-: curred near Seranton, lu which three men were wounded, but the participants. who were Italians, were all: strikers and the affray had no direct. connection with the present strike.

At a meeting of some 150 or more employes of Markle & Co., the proprietors of a colliery operated hidependent of the coal carrying railroads, it was decided to accept the firm's offer to arbitrate their differences pending which they returned to work this morning. The strike leaders, however. declare that, a majority of the employes are dissatisfied with the! firm's answer 1o their bill of gricvancos.

The Cambridge mine at Shenandoah! closed down last nighi and the Schuylkill region is now practically tied up. there being but a few mines at work in addition to the of the 39 collieries operated by the Philadelphia & Read-, ing company. Some few mines are working in the "Lehigh region, but in the Y\ yoniing and Lackawanna regions mining is almost: at a standstill.
