MINERS’ SIDE OF IT| MITCHELL'S STATEMENT OF THE CASE IS SENT TO THE OPERATORS. WILL REPLY IN A FEW DAYS THE COMMISSION PAYS A VISIT TO THE LEHIGH VALLEY REGION. MARKLE iS VERY OBSTINATE INSISTS ON MEN RETURNING AS INDIVIDUALS — MEN ARE STILL OUT. Hazleton, Pa., Noy. 5.—The anthra- cite strike commisslun spent the en- tire day in the Lehigh Valley region, visiting one mine and several of the mining villages. While most of the commissioners were looking over the territory, Recorder Wright was kept busy on the train attending to the cor- respondence. of the commission. ‘Among the matters*he disposed of was the sending of a copy of President Mitchell's statement of the miners’ case, which was filled with the com- mission on Sunday night before its de- parture from Scranton for this region, to all the coal companies involyed in the district. The statement was mailed from this city, and should be in the hands of the companies to-day. Under the agreement made before the com- mission at Washington the operators will make a reply in three or four days. The trip of the commission through this region was an int@esting one, the conditions of mining being Somewhat Different from those existing in the Lackawan- ma and Wyoming valleys. The com- missioners’ first stop of the day was at Upper Lehigh, where A. C. Leisen- ring, superintendent of the Upper Le- high Coal company, took the commis- sioners for a drive through the town. While in this place the arbitrators vis- ited one of the homes of the miners, the first they.have been in since they have been touring the region. Drifton ‘was the next place visited, and there ‘was a crowd gathered about the com- mission as Supt. Smith of Coxe Bros. & Co., whose mines are located there, explained the trouble between the company and its men. All the miners employed at these mines are still on strike because the company insists upon them returning to work as indi- viduals and not in’a body. At Jeddo, John Markle, the independent opera- tor, joined’ the party and escorted the commissioners to the mining village of Oakdale, near Jeddo. Mr. Markle showed them the clubhouse which he maintains there for the Benefit of the Men. On the run into Hazleton, where the breaker of No. 40 shaft was inspected, Messrs. Markle, Duffy and Gallagher had a spirited discussion over the dif- ferences existing at the Markle mines. | None of the men at the Markle col- liery have returned to work for the Same reason as those which are keep- ing the men out of the Coxe mines. Mr. Markie told them he was running the Markle company and would mai>- tain discipline. Luncheon was served at the Central hotel here and the entire afternoon was spent in the Audenried mine. The commissioners spent the night at the Central hotel and will go to Shamokin to-day. The day will be spent in the vicinity, and Wednesday , will find the commission in the Panther Creek valley. On Thursday the arbitrators will visit the region around Pottsville and that night the commission will adjourn until Nov. 14. Coal Output Increases. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 5.—Although the various coal companies are not prepared to give figures, it is known that the output of coal in the anthra- cite region yesterday was larger than any day since the collieries resumed eperations eleven days ago. The vol- ame of coal going to other than home markets is also larger. DESERVE THE LASH. Sofons of Proudest Families in Great Britain Sentenced. London, Nov. 5. — The excitement Sunday over the reported flight of a peer to the continent was heightened yesterday by the announcement that a well known London society man, Bernard Frazer, had been sentenced at the Norwich assizes to ten years’ penal servitude. With him was also sentenced Arthur Thorold, the son of e clergyman, connected, as is Frazer, with one of the oldest and proudest families in the United Kingdom. The prisoners were charged with carrying on a regular campaign to deprave the morals of youths all over the country. MORGAN TO BUY BRITISH MINES. Sensation Created by the Report in England. London, Nov. 5.—The report that J. Pierpont Morgan is trying to purchase the North Staffordshire coal fields and that the companies are not averse to making a deal with him, has caused a sensation at Stoke-on-Trent. It is stated that the agreement has already been drawn up and will be signed by the mine owners Wednesday next. Some 24,000 men are employed in the pits and the output for 1901 was 6,372,- 800 tons. ’ GOV. YATES VERY ILL. i ‘He fs Delirious and Talks tnco- herently. Springfield, Ul., Noy. 5.—During the ‘past twenty-four hours Gov. Yates’ fever has been alarmingly high twice. Most of the day the governor was de- tirious and talked incoherently during his awakening and sleeping moments. Tt is im ible to keep any sort of solid food pon his stomach and what ds known as “junket preparation” has tbeen resorted to as food. i hoe ex. $ COLOMBIA IS UGLY. Orders Minister Concha to Suspend Canal Negotiations. Kingston, Jam., Nov. 5. — There is said to be great indignation among the residents of the isthmus owing to the Colombian government’s instructions ; to Minister Concha at Washington to ' suspend indefinitely the canal treaty negotiations. It is reported that the authorities in Bogota are determined to break off the negotiations altogeth- er because of the United States’ re- cent policy in restraining the trans- portation of Colombian -troops on the Panama railroad. The United States marines, it is as- serted, have not hampered the Colom- bian government. On the contrary, the Americans, by protecting transit on the isthmus are declared to have hindered Gen. Herrera from attacking Colon and Panama, and indirectly aid- ed the government, which would have been defeated after Agua Dulce fell but for the landing of American m%- rines. Many of the Colombians believe that the Americans contemplate a perma- nent occupation of the isthmus. A fight. occurred Wednesday at Panama between American marines and some Colombian troops while the latter were removing ammunition that had been received from England. A Colombian officer was wounded. The troops were driven off. The govern- ment will ask for the withdrawal of the American guard. The rate of exchange in some parts of Colombia is 1,200 per cent. Trade is crippled. Could Be Quickly Fixed Up. Washington, Nov. 5.—The belief of some of the officials here is that if the matter is expedited, a treaty for the construction of the Panama canal can be completed by the contracting parties within thirty days, thus en- abling the president to send it to the senate early in the coming session. Senor Concha’s instructions are ample and complete enough to enable him to complete the negotiations, and it is understood they will be resumed almost immediately. Many of the features of the treaty are covered by the protocol heretofore agreed to by the government of Colombia and the United States and there yet remains three points of great importance which will require some delicate handling to be acceptable to the Colombian government. These relate to the question of sovereignty and the exclusion of Panama and Colon from the free zone, the matter of indemnity and, third, that of lease, which, while not being one in perpetuity, will have that practical effect. The feeling in official circies here is that the treaty should be acted on by the United States senate before it comes before the Colombian congress for considera- tion. Having been ratified by the sen- ate, its presentation to the Colombian government will embody the crystal- lized sentiment of the American gov- ernment on the Panama canal situa- tion. Preparations are under way in Co- lombia for the election of a new con- gress, which, if the circumstances re- quire, can be convened at short notice and the canal treaty presented to it for action. A majority vote of both houses in that body, the same as for the enactment of ordinary legislation, will insure its acceptance by the Co- lombian government. IN HARMONY WITH CASEY. Gen. Perdomo, Says Affairs on Isth- mus Are Working Smoothly. Panama, Nov. 5—Gen. Perdoma sent a telegraphic message yesterday to the authorities at Bogota as follows: “Troops and war material are at present transported across the istrmus on trains furnished by the railroad company. We are working in perfect harmony with Admiral Casey.” Yesterday afternoon Gen. Perdomo received the following message from President Marroquin at Bogota: “It is believed necessary, with re- spect to the obligations you may have contracted, to extend the amnesty un- til Nov. 15.” This extension of time is presuma- | bly given Gen. Vargas-Santos, military director of the Colombian revolution- ists, who is expected here Nov. 5, an opportunity to confer with the gov- ernment authorities at Panama. ~ ON MAD MULLAHW’S TRAIL. Advance to Begin This Month—Out- post Is Raided. Aden, Arabia, Nov. 5.—Col. Swayne has been temporarily recalled to Eng- land, where he will act as adviser to the foreign office. Gen. Manning has assumed command of the British Som- aliland expedition. Three thousand men will begin.to advance against the Mullah about Noy. 27.—This delay is due to the fact that Gen. Manning is dispensing with the Indian troops in the belief that the native levies are more effective. It is rumored in na- tive quarters that the Mullah has raided an advance British outpost in the vicinity of Bohotle, Somaliland, capturing a large camel transport. RAZOR, GAG AND LAMP. Widow of American in Paris Has Armed Burglar Caged. Paris, Nov. 5. — The Temps relates an exciting experience of Mrs. Will- iam J. Kerr, widow of an American painter, with an armed burglar. When policemen finally took the intruder from a closet in which he had secreted himself, it was found that he was armed with a razor.and carried a gag and an electric lamp. Mrs. Kerr's home is on the Avenue Henri Martin, and the incident attracts attention ow- ing to the reign of terror that has fol- lowed the killing of several. women in. the neighborhood. EDITOR ROBBED. Burglar Turns a Neat Trick and Se- eures Money and Diamonds. Clinton, Iowa, Noy. 5.—Last night a burglar entered the residence of C. A. Fay, editor of the Advertiser, took a pistol from under Fay’s head, struck a match, lighted the gas, covered Fay and wife with the gun and compelled them to give up their money and dia- monds, valued at $1,300. He was cool and collected and joked. After gettiry; blk F HIS LOVE OR HIS LIFE. Minneapolis rid Does Some Shoot- ing. Minneapolis, Nov. 5. — Angered by the refusal of Roy Williams, a packer at the Palisade flour mill, to marry her, May Smith, a pretty young wo- man, last night fired several shots at him from a revolver which she had se- creted in her clothes, and seriously wounded him in the abdomen. Will- iams was taken to the city hospital, but later was removed to his home, as the wound was pronounced not very serious, and unless blood poisoning sets in his chances: for a rapid recov- ery are good. The woman and a com- panion who witnessed the shooting were arrested after a chase of three blocks by a number of other mill em- ployes, during which the Smith girl reloaded her gun and emptied its con- tents at her pursuers. She was locked up at the police station, where she was very defiant and would say very little, exclaiming, however, when she heard that her bullet had not been fa- tal, “Oh, that I could only get another shot at him! He deserves to die and I am sorry that I didn’t kill him!” ROBBERS’ RICH HAUL. Disguised as Indians, Three White Men Plunder a Rich Indian. Helena, Mont., Noy. 5.—A Missoula special says: Word has reached here that Michel, the wealthiest full-blood Indian on the Flathead reservation, had been robbed of $22,000 Saturday night. During Michel’s absence three men, dressed as Indians, one as a squaw, visited Michel’s home on Camas prairie, and while the one dressed as a squaw interested Mich- el’s wife in conversation, the other two went into an outbuilding in which Michel had an old trunk, in which he had stored the money, in $100 bills and $20 gold pieces, and carried away the trunk with its contents. Michel’s wife became suspicious and discovered the other two waking away with the treas- ure, and gave the alarm, but it was too late, as the three jumped on horses and bore the treasure away with them in the darkness. A posse of young In- dians was formed to try and capture the robbers, but without result. Michel owns the largest herds of cat- tle and horses on the reservation, and was afraid to trust his money in any bank. BRUIN GOES VISITING. Bears Are Plentiful in the Black Hills Region. Lead, S. D., Nov. 5.—Bear are quite plentiful and bold in the Black Hills this year, and a number have been seen near Lead recently. One visited the Pluma mine in the outskirts of Lead during the past week and cre- ated consternation among the em- ployes above ground. The animal ap- peared late in the evening. The men heard him grunting and _ sniffing around the outside of the building, and were considerably alarmed when TO FIGHT PRAIRIE FIRES. Bouth Dakota Ranchmen Fear De- structive Waves of Flames. Pierre, S. D., Nov. 4.—Ranchmen on the ranges west of the river are using extraordinary precautions this year to prevent the setting or spreading of prairie fires. The heavy rains of the year has covered the whole range with a longer growth of grass than for many years, and with all this material to feed upon, a fire driven by a gale would be a formidable proposition, and one which could in a short. time do thousands of dollars worth of damage. While the same condition in regard to length of grass prevails on the east side of the river, there are more resi- dents to turn out and fight the fires, and most of the townships have fire guards plowed around their borders wide enough to check anyordinary fire without any other effort on the part of the settlers. At the same time these are not depended upon alone, and in many localities organizations are formed to work as a_ volunteer fire company when there is any danger in their section. HAZEL IS MISSING. Her Adopted Parents Claim That She Was Abducted. Duluth, Minn., Nov. 4. — The family of Thomas H. Watts of Duluth is dis- turbed over the alleged abduction of their adopted daughter, Hazel Lunke. The girl is twelve years old and they claim that she has been secretly taken from them by her brother, living in Minneapolis. The Watts’ claim to have papers to adoption of the girl from the probate court of Hennepin county, but were unable to show them to the Du- luth police and they have declined to act. The girl’s mother resides in Min- neapolis and the father is dead. The children and mother are now united but the Watts family have not given up trying to get the girl back. They adopted the girl at a time when Mrs. Lunke was unable to properly care for the child, but her circumstances are now improved. MAD DOG IN DANCE HALL. Twenty Merrymakers Bitten by the Brute. Brillion, Wis., Nov. 4. — Terror per- vades Collins, a country place twelve miles from here in a thickly settled district. A mad dog forced his way into a dance hall there Friday night and nearly twenty persons were bit- ten. Six passed through here Satur- | day on their way to the Pasteur insti- he thrust his head and shoulder partly | through the door into the, engine room. The men promptly shinned to | the top of the boilers and after they had thrown several lumps of coal, at | the bear it retreated. Ambling off a | few yards it lay down under an elec- tric light and was quiet for several minutes, as if resting. It then got up and disappeared into the thick brush. ANOTHER MONSTER DOCK. Iron Ore Shipping Depot to Be Built at Superior. West Superior, Wis., Nov. 5.—The third big iron ore shipping dock of the Great Northern railway will be built here this winter. It will be located on Allouez bay, where James J. Hill's other two big docks are located. It will not be quite as large as the larg- est of the present docks—the largest in the world—but will be capable of shipping about 2,000,000 tons of iron ore each year. This will give the three docks of the Great Northern a shipping capacity of 6,000,000 tons a year, and will allow the company to open up many new holdings on the iron ranges from which shipments have never been made as yet. It will make Superior the greatest iron ore shipping port on the great lakes, pres- ent conditions continuing at other points. | BRIDEGROOM IN PRISON. . Stole Money for Expenses of Wedding and Honeymoon Trip. Iowa Falls, Iowa, Nov. 5. — Ed Shaffer of this city has been sentenced to the penitentiary for one year.

Fergus Falls, Minn., Nov. 4. — The Fergus Falls Casket company’s factory was totally destroyed by fire last night.

Peruna stimulates the kidneys to excrete from the blood the accumu- lating poison, and thus prevents the convulsions which are sure to follow if the poisons are allowed to remain.

Only recently the complaint was made that the preparations for a wed- fling were becoming so elaborate, cost- ly and troublesome. that young men preferred to remain bachelors rather than undergo the ordeal. In view of this complaint, it is reassuring to learn .that, owing to the perfection of system established in the county building, weddings may now be per- formed there with the greatest dis- patch. A couple, it is reported, may seek the marriage-license window at any time in the day, and then depart from the county building man and wife in the space of eight minutes and twenty seconds. The gain over the slow, old-fashioned wedding, which requires weeks for preparation and a whole day for the ceremony itself, is obvious. A man may now get married in less time than it takes to ride around the loop. Some improved methods of courtship on the lightning- express principle doubtless will soon be forthcoming.—Chicago News. A Wonderful Pill. Freedom, Mo., Nov. 3d.—A splendid remedy has recently been introduced in this neighborhood. It is called Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and it has cured Rheumatism right and left. On-every hand may be heard stories of the re- markable recoveries, and from what has been stated already, there seems to. be no case of rheumatism that Dodd’s Kidney Pills will not cure. One of those who has already tested ‘the virtue of Dodd’s Kidney Pills is .Katie Anderson of this place, who says: 3 { “I can’t say enough for Dodd’s Kid- mey Pills. They have helped me so much, I suffered very severely with rheumatism: Five boxes cured me completely. They are certainly the Bet wonderful medicine I have ever used.” Osage county abounds in just such cases, and if the good work keeps on there will soon be no rheumatism left in this part of the state.
