THE STRIKE SITUATION. Relief la Some Quarter* That the En* Will Come This Week—Statement by President Mitchell, Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 22. —The general belief here is that the coming week will see the windup of the strike. The strikers do not admit this openly, but it is the feeling that the lockout cannot be continued much longer. Both sides are expected to make concessions. The operators say they have none to make, but under certain pressure they are expected to make them, nevertheless. The politicians have had their say in the negotiations looking towards a settlement, and now the sales agents for the big coal companies and the retail dealers in the big cities are taking a hand. They are writing and telegraphing every day to the coal companies that unless something is done very soon to bring the strike to. an end and an effort made to get some hard coal on the market at saleable figures, the anthracite trade will be demoralized for years to come, and some of it will be lost forever. Onesales agent writes: ‘"One of my largest customers tells me that consumers are getting to like bituminous coal, and that they think they will keep on using it.” It is such reminders as these that makes the operators just as anxious to settle the strike as the miners. But the strikers must make the biggest concession, and there is every reason to believe that they will do it before the week Is over. Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 22.-—When President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, was asked Sunday night what he had to say in regard to a settlement of the anthracite coni miners’ strike, he said: “As there appears to be some disposition on the part of the public to place the responsibility for the prolongation of the strike on the shoulders of the mine workers, speaking for them. I want to 6ay that when the Scranton convention accepted the ten per cent, advance In wages, providing the operators abolished the sliding scale and guaranteed the payment of the advance until April 1, the miners had met the operators more than half way. They had Bhown conciliatory spirit, and I know of no good reason why the proposition should not have been accepted by the operators. “Asa consequence, the responsibility for the continuation of the strike rests solely upon the failure of the operators to treat the proposition of their employes considerately. The public should understand that, unsatisfactory as Is the proposition of the operators, who make the reduction in the price of powder a part of the advance of ten per cent., that even this proposition has not been offered by a very large number of the coal-producing companies In the anthracite region, and until all companies guarantee the payment of the ten percent, advance above the rate of wages t>aid In September until April 1, according to the decision of the Scranton convention, the miners are powerless to act. I want to repeat again that there can be no partial sectional settlement of this strike. “The large companies in the Lehigh region that have refused to move at all since the Scranton convention was held are Coxe Bros. & Cos., the largest coal producers In the Lehigh region; G. B. Mgrkle & Cos., the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre company, the Lehigh Coal & Navigation company and a large number of smaller companies. There are also a considerable number of coal companies In the Lackawanna and Wyoming regions that have not guaranteed, the payment of the ten per cent, advance until April 1. The only district that has accepted the terms of the Scranton convention In full Is No. 9. better known as the Schuylkill district. Companies which produce about 66 per cent, of the total production of the anthracite coal fields have guaranteed the payment of the ten per cent, advance and have abolished the sliding scale." When Mr. Mitchell was asked what he would do if all the companies were to post notices, he said: “When all the companies have posted notices then I will have something: to say.” When it was suggested to him that there might be a break in tire ranks of the strikers if the contest was to continue much longer, he said that not one man will go back to the mines until they are officially notified to return.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.. Oct. 22. —Presi4ent Mitchell and the executive board have virtually decided to call another convention of strikers in order to consider this last offer of the operators. When this convention will be called has not yet been determined. The decision rests with President Mitchell, and he will probably decide next Wednesday or Thursday. Scranton will doubtless be again selected ns the place of meeting, and the arrangements will be as before. Shamokin, Pa., Oct. 22.—Committees of United Mine Workers canvassed the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron company strikers of inis place. Mount Carmel and Locust Gap Sunday to learn whether any of the men intended to go to work to-day. The strike leaders state that no one will respond to the blowing of the whistles excepting engineers and fire bosses. A prominent local official of the Union Coal company says the company positively refuses to concede to any of the demands made by the Scranton convention. The company claims that their busy season has ueen ruined by the strike and they don't care when the strike is settled, feeling positive that they can hold out much longer than the striking miners. The company controls four large collieries in the Shamokin region. ■The Spnntsh Cabinet Resigns. Madrid, Oct. 22.—The appointment f Weyler as captain general of Madrid has caused the resignation of the cabinet. Gen Azcnrrngn has been called to form anew ministry. As is well known, some metals are unsuitable for casting, while others, like iron, can readily be cast in any desired shape. The property of casting well is said to depend upon whether the metal contracts or expands on solidifying from the liquid form. Iron, like water, expands in solidifying, and hence the solid metal may be seen floating in the liquid iron about it. The expansion causes it to fill the die into which it is poured, and so it can be cast easily. Gold and silver contracts in cooling, and therefore are not suitable for casting.

ORIENTAL DIPLOMACY. Aa Instance of the Japanese Idea of Carrying Tkroagfc a Good Joke. It waa at the time of the exhibition la 1867. A Japanese embassy went to Paris to treat for three free ports in France, is return, for which England was to have thret in Japan. The negotiations proved abort and amiable, says London King. “Make your choice," said Japan, "we will choose afterward." The minister of foreign affaire selected Yokohama, Yeddo and Hang-Yang. The embassy made no objection; they simply smiled and went on their way. Some tilde afterward Japan sent word that the three ports mentioned were agreed to, and in return Japan desired Havre, Mar* aeilles and Southampton. Thia last named gave the French official* fits. They never laughed so much before, and certainly never since. Southampton a French port! No, it was too good. Gently, but unmistakably, they explained the sifc uation. "Why, Southampton is in England," thef replied. “We know that,” came the cool response "but then Hang-Yang is in Corea." Whereupon the French officials collapsed.
