" WILKESBARRE, Pa. 25.~A bulletin announcing the ending of the great Miners' strike was received here tonifht with the greatest enthuslusm by all classes. The news had been expected and lurge crowds collected in front of the newspaper offices. Among the companies that have not posted notices ‘n this vicinity are the Susquehanna Coal company of the Pennsylvania rallroad eystem, but some time ago the officlals of that company issued a statement that when the strikers were ready to return to work the company would pay its men the same a8 the other companies. There are some individual operators who have not posted notlces. It is waid they are holding back until they get a better carrying rate from the big coal companies. The Lehigh Val- ley company agreed to the original 10 per cent increase, but has not posted notices t glving the additional 23 per cent per T, agreed to by the Delaware, Lack- awanna & Western, Delaware & Hudson, Lehigh & Wilkesbarre and some of the other hig companies. It is estimated, however, that by Monday operators cou- trolling # per cent of the output in the Wyoming Valley will have agreed to pay the full 10 per cent demanded by the miners, Conterence ot fers and Operator PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2 A conference between the oficials of the big coal carry- ing companies and several individual coal operators was held today at the office of President Harrls of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company. ‘The of- ficers were in session about an hour and although all information as to what took place was refused, it was stated that the question of an early adjustment of the conl strike dificulties was consldered.

BIG GUNS FOR NEW SHIPS WILL BE READY Interesting Data Co the New ed Double Turret Together Discussion of Powder Valy WASHINGTON, Oc ~The annual re- port of Admiral O'Netll contuins an interest- ing summary of the important developments | of the year in the matter of naval ordnance | and armor and powder. The estimates for the next year, which aggregate 37,407,835 include a single item of $4,000,000 under the head of an increase of the navy, armo: and armament. The admiral makes no | recommendations on the armor question, There ere also the items of $500,000 for A new maguzine at Boston;. $500,000 for reserve ammunition; $600,000 for smoke- less powder and, $923,849 for the Washing- ton navy yard and proving grounds and & new battery for the Baltimore. For re- serve guns for the auxilliary crulsers to | bo kent In readiness for instant service | there s an ftem of $230,000. | The chief of ordnance says that such | progress has been made in his work that all of the guns will be ready for the ships now bullding when they are complete. An increased supply of all kinds of ammuni- tion has been accumuiated, and large quantities sent to tho Asiatic station. Next year will show an unusually large number ot finished guns turned out. Promising results have been attained with an elght- inch gun, in which the breech plug is coni- cal, surrounded by & continuous screw thread, which locks perfectly with.one pull of a lever. This gun has beeh fired six #hots per minute, an extraordipary ac- complishment for a gun of this heavy char- acter. It 's recommended ‘that.the Balti- more's battery he modernized while she is belng overhaulod, so as to give her twelve | six-inch naval rifles, and & good secondary battery. Large quantities of excellent smoke- less powder were progured during the year from private manufallories, and the new battleships, as well as the Atlantic, have been supplied with it, while a stock has been accumulated for general use, Double Turrets @ Success. Admiral O'Nelll praises the double turret system, which he says is an unqualified success, so that many officers originally op- posed to the superimposed turrets have changed thelr views. The arwor question is treated histor- fcally in the report and only the most conclse statement respecting the oper: tions of the vear is made, unaccompanied by any reccmmendation for the future. It Is said that the armor compantes delivered during the yvear 4,869 tons of armor, leav- Ing only 1437 tons in manufacture, which will be completed within six months. There remalns to be contracted for 36, 810 tons. Experiments haying shown that the su- periority of the Krupp armor is limited to that above five inches in thickuess, the bureau divided the armor to be con- tracted for into two classes with a view to reducing the cost by allowing the thinner armor o be treated under the or- dinary processes. Of the submarine boat Holland, Admiral O'Nelll says that while the trisl runs, probably made under un- favorable conditions, have created a fa- vorablo impression, it is tao early as yet to say much in regard to the utility for WAr purposes of the boats of this type. Undoubtedly the moral eftect of their known or suspected proximity will be con- siderable, but that intimate knowledge of their qualities will be necessary before a correct estimate of their military value can be mad mokeless and Other Powder, One of the appendixes to the report is that made by Lieutenant Strauss, in com- mand at the proving ground at Indlan Head, where an explosion occurred last night. His romarks on the question of the stabllity of smokeless powder are timely {n view of one theory that the ex- plosion resulted from spontaneous com- bustion of such powder. He says in his 2. | the Paeific division Loose Live Stock Fo {of the United States fs entitled to ndmin- report: “In a new explosive the question of stabllity 18 one that occuples the first place. A sample of five-tuch powder that had been in a magazine of the Marblehoud for two yegrs was recently tested at the proving grounds. It does mot show the loast deterioration in ballastic qualities, nor does it give any evidence of having altered chemically. Another sample kept in a magazine here for one year shows equally good results.” WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—Colonel Samuel Mansfield, corps of engineers, will be @eseesssscssecssscescsseeeel Mmmomo—o’ FREE SCHOLARSHIP VOTING CouPOL CUT IT OWT-VOTE IT. ome deserving boy or gitl get & practival eQucation FPREE. - OND VOTE PORL, ADDREES . .ionen (St. antl No) This ceupan ¥t sccompan The @maha Hee counts 15 wotes B ———————y (Name) LA S B e - (Towny) by caeh paymant on subscription mcccust fer wadh o patd, 100 vees for each §1 puid, eto.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—Orders have been tssued for the complete repair of the trans- ports Wright and Ingalls at New York, with a view to utilizing them in the inter- Island transport service in the Philippines. These transports were used during the Spanish war and were used for the trans- portation of troops and frelght between the United States and the West Indies. Of late their service has been confined to cruls- ing in the waters of Cuba and Porto Rico. They are too small for use as regular trans- port ships for troops between the United States and the Philippines, but are well adapted for cruising in the Philippine archipelago.

It they have, the | 1oss far as buildings is concerned, is slight. They were constructed lightly, with a view to avoiding confinement of the | powder contents, in case of fire, Within yot all tons of brown powder and ten smokeless powder. The lutter, closely confiued under pressure, s not ex plosive, but creates a vast flame, and Ad- miral O'Neill thinks it wag the fire blaze from the burning smokeless powder which gave rise to the belief that a great accident had occurred tons of when not Factory in No Danger. The big powder factory, representing a large espenditure of government money was never In danger from the fire and ex | plosions. It is betweon one and three miles distant in a straight line from of the disaster with bills lylug between. Admiral O'Neill was about to order an investigation when he aecertained this had | already begun at Indian Head. It is alwa difficult to fix the responsibility in such cases. The admiral thought that workmen in the vicinity yesterd been careless and left a burning cigarette or match, which started a fire smouldered until nighttall, when it com- municated with some powder. On the other naval officers do not like to recognize, of #ome cheraical change having taken place iu the powder, wWhich resulted in spontaneous combustion. The loss in money represented by the powder Iis comparatively small, for If all the powder contained in the bulldings was lost the cost would not be above $23,000, while the build- Ings, ms alreally ' stated, were of the flimsiest character As soon as the fact of the explosion be- came known there was a rush ofrcporters and others toward the proving gre 1. This is a point very difficult of access, heing |about thirty miles down the river from Washington and off the line of direct com- munication. To add to the dificulties of the news-gatherers they were excluded from the proving grounds proper by the rigid rules of the Navy department. Admiral O Nelll refused to suspend the rule In this | case, on the ground that the safety of the visitors, as well as the government | property, and the interest of government work required the exclusion of outsiders from the grounds. He volunteered, however, to ascertain all the facts in the case that could be of Interest to the public and to treely glve them out, which he did. The last sccident of this kind at Indian Head occurred about six months ago, when Lieutenant Strauss, the commandant, was injured. Fire was discovered in the shell house and the officer ventured into it and endeavored to prevent an explosion. Some of the shells, however, exploded and he was slightly hurt. The loss on that occasion was trifling. The loss 18 estimated by Admiral O'Neill at between $25,000 and $30,000 on powder and ammunition. The loss to the buildings is considered trifiing.
