K. McMullin of Pittsburg, President Mitchell and District Fresidents Dufty. Faley and Mills of the United Mine Workers, for the purpose of discussing means of settling the gnthracite coal strike. The conference was held at the €ugg ‘stion of the governor, who has devised a plan by which he hopes to effect & settle- ment’ between the operators and miners without the necessity of an extra session of the legislature, The governot declined to outline his plan In advance of the conference and none of the ot 8 would make any statement unti] after they bad concluded their talk. The cout rence did not begin until long after midnight, owing to the late hour at which Mr. Mitchell and his assoclates arrived here from Philade’ptia.

Nearly all the “locals” of the United Mine Workers in this vicinity have held meetings at which the strikers reafirmed thelr al- leglance to President Mitchell and pledged themselves Lo stay out until the coal com- panies grant concessions, no matter how long 1t may be. The men apparently have little hope that the meeting of Mitchell and Governor Stone In Harrisburg tomorrow will have much offect on the strike situation. POTTSVILLE, Pa., Sept. 12.—A number of the local branches of the United Mine | Workers in this district, at their regular | weekly meetings, have adopted resolutions expressing their intention to remain on strike until ordered back to work by Na- tional President Mitchell or by a conven- tion of mine workers.

The facts of this alleged offer were re- ported by the Venezuelan consul at Liver pool. WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacoa, Sept 12.—It has beem learnéd here from Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, that the report re- cently lssued by Torres Cardenas, Secretary | of President Castro, that the revolutionary army under General Luctano Mendoza annihilated September 8§ near Tiraquill was a gross exaggeration, The engagement of the date was not an fmportant one and only the vanguard of the revolutionary forces was engaged.

It is impossible to receive news of the progress of this fight, as all lines of communication have been cut. The result of this engage- ment will doubtless have a decided ef- fect upon the fate of the Matos revolution. Preeident Castro is still inactive near Ocumare, where he Is inspecting the army.

POTTER, In view of the reports that political sig- nificance attaches to this latest dispateh of a naval Yorce to the Isthmus of Panama, the statement was gained today from n high and unguestionable oficial source to the eftect that the pratection of American fn- terests and the —enforcement of treaty gueranties are the only two considerations involved in the sending of additional war ships to Panama and Colon. Tt was pointed out that peculfar eireum. stances made necossary the dispatch of a force more formidable than the occasion Rauger, at Papama, of only 138 men, There was no other vessel available on the Pacifie coast save the big battleship Wisconsin, so that while it was like sending a man to perform a boy's work, the Navy depart- ment had no_alternative., Moreover, it is learned that the department has decided not to send Panther with the battalion of marines to the lsthmus unless Com- mander McLean, upon the arrival of Cineinnat! at Colom, informs the depart- ment that the men are needed. In the meantime the battallon will be equipped and provisioned and the ship is held in readfness for an immediate departure for Colon.

HEROIC: DARINC GOVERNMENT LIFF + SAVING CREW RECEIVE GOLD MEDALS Surf on Lake Erie Ends the Use- fulness of One Hardy Rescuer. From the thirty-firet day of October to the eleventh day of November, 1883, the crew of the U. S. lfe-saving station at Cleveland, 0., saved twenty-seven men and two women from vessels thrown hore by the storms that lashed the waters of Lake Erie. To each of the nine men in the crew the government gold medal “for heroic daring” awarded and the story of the earning of these medals gives & glimpse of the perils that these hardy men are trained to face. ’ It was on the eleventh of October that the most thrilling rescue was accomplished under difficulties that would: have daunted most men. The barge J. T. Janson went ashore during a howling ) hurricano, Through the driving spray and pounding surt the heraio band Jaunched the lite boat in an effort to get a line to the distressed vessel. No sooner was the boat in the water and the men in their places than it was capsized by an immense wave and the men thrown into the water. One of the crew was Charles L. Learned, forty:one years old and a vigorous specimen of man- hood. When the boat rolled over he was caught beneath it and, pinned down by his oar, lost consclousness. The actlon of the wdves washed him from under the boat before life was extimet aud Ms cork belt brought him, to the surfack, Conséious- ness slowly returned, but he was help- less d drifted ashore. Hundreds of people had gathered to watch the work of rescue. A policeman and a’lwborer drew Learned from'the water and took him to the customs house, where he was revived by stimulants.. The other members of the life crew made their way to the shore and hurried for the beach apparatus. In about @n hour and a half they returned and Learned had so far recovered that he made his way to the sceme of the. .wreck and took his place with the crew.. All hands were saved, but Learned's career as a life saver was ended. In relating -the story, he sald that rheumatism quickiy set in ag a result of the cold and exposure.' This was complicated with neuralgin.. “I had such pains in my.back that I could hardly move,"” cltement would cause my heart -to beat violently. I had to be very careful of my diet and suffered much distress after eat- ing. 1 could not sleep, my bead ached, I was all run down and discouraged. Hav- ing been disabled fn the gdvernment serv- fce, I received something over $600 in ad- dition to my gold medal:" Mr. Learned le now a prosperous farmer at Sandy Creek, N. Y., and the story of his restoration to mctivity fx hest. tald se Be tells it. ‘““About four years ago,” he sars, “I saw Dr. William’s Pink Pille ad- vertised in a newspaper. I'tried them and firmly belleve that if I had net I should be in my grave mow. The pills began to belp me in less. than a week. Not only dld they benefit my rheumatism, but ‘they built up my strength, eo. that I was soon able to do a bigger day's work tham in years before. The insomnla disappeared and sleep was sound and refreshipg. I have recommended Dr. Willlam's Piok Pills for Pale People to many and am glad to endorse them.
