There was no conflict between the depu- and the strikers. Rhone Trescott, a 1 and iron policeman, says he saw President Mitchell and *“Mother”™ Jones on a hill at Derringer directing the move- | ments from it. Mr. Mitehell denles this. | It was rumored that another march was to be made to-morrow to Black Creek, three miles from Hazleton, The most important development here m ] | mands of the men for | fuses the demands of th to-day, aside from the request for sol- diers, was the answer of G. B. Markle & Co. to the demands presented by the firm’s emploves ten days ago. The answer is not considered eatisfactory by many of the Markle employes and what action they will take at their meeting to-mor- row is not certain. There is much talk among them to-night in favor of a strike. The firm flatly refuses to grant the de- and 10 per cent advance; announces its lingness to pay the men semi-monthly agrees to arbi trate the question of cheaper powder; re driver boys'ang engineers for more pay; promises to ad- just grievances relating to the carrying of men and tools do and up the slope in mine cars; offers the timbermen a new scale for propping which 1s lower than the rate asked for; agrees to bufld powder 1 80 that‘the men will not have to rry the explosive a great distance, and concedes the riilar-robbing grievance. The Markle irm to-day announced that at “the request of the mine workers in its reply, work will be suspended to-mor- row in order to give the men an oppor- tunity to consider the comp: to_their demands made ten davs ago.” The United Mine Workers held a meet- ing at Jeddo this afternoon before the an- swer of the Markles had become public. Many of the Markle strikers were present. The principal speech was made by Presi- dent Mitchell, who, having heard a_rumor that the Markles had granted the de- mands of the men, urged the miners who had struck not to go back to work, but to stand firm in the fight until victory comes The labor leaders would make no com- ment to-night on the Markle controversy, but it is known they are much pleased. If the company had conceded the wage | ter shape to-day demand, which is only about half of what the United Mine Workers are asking throughout the region, it was feared there would be a big break among the men who struck at the Markle mine. They now believe that the firm's mines will be com- pletely tied up and point to its voluntary suspension as evidence that the Markles are afraid that their men will quit. President Mitchell, in discussing the sit- uation in this region to-night, said: “Reports from the Schuylkill district are that the en Mahanoy Valley from Ma- v City to Ashland Is idle. This is a gain of three large collter In the Le- high Valley region, Tomhicken and Gowen were closed to- day and we made satisfactory galns at other mines where the men have been working. 1t is generally conceded that the strike in the Schuylkiil Qistrict will soon embrace cvery man employved there, On the whole we are well satisfied with the status of the strike. Coxe Brothers & Co. admitted to-day collferies at Derringer and that their Gowen were slightly affected this morn- not go to work were intimidated by the marchers. The operators at other collieries claimed, as usual, that they were in bet- than at any previous time during the strike. General Superintendent Kudlick of the Coxe Brothers & Co.’s mines was arrested to-day on a charge of assault and several minor charges. He waived a hearing on two of the charges this aiternoon and will be given a hearing on the other charge to-morrow. Peter Gallagher, a striking miner of Freeland, is the prose- cutor. He charges that Kudlick delib- ey, Derringer, | ing, but claimed that the men who aid | erately drove his horse into him on the public road. AL MORE MINES TO BE TIED UP. Clerks’ Association of Shamokin De- cides to Aid the Strikers. SHAMOKIN, Pa., Sept. 25.—Local strike leaders say that from the information re- celved to-night the Locust Springs Col- llery at Locust Gap, operated by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, will be completely tied up to- morrow. It has been working short- handed for several days. They claim that the Ashland mines also will be shut down in_a few day Mine officials here are jubilant over the resumption’ of work at the North Frank- lin Mine No. 1 at Trevorton, also a Phila- delphia and Reading Company operation The men almost in a body failed to repor: yesterday, but the whole of them returned to work this morning. The Clerks’' Assoclation, the Shamokin branch of the International Association ot Retail Clerks, have voted in favor of the strike, and their president, J. N. Martz, will appoint a committee to confer with the executive body of the Central Labor Union as to the most advantageous means of distributing food apd funds to those suffering from the strike’s effacts. -—— | | THREE COLLIERIES CLOSED.

SHENANDOAH, Pa., Sept. 25.—The few developments in the strike situation since | yesterday were favorable to the strikers. | Three additional collieries were closed to- | day In this region because the number « men who reported for duty was not ficlent to operate them. They were th Park Place, Pittston No. 3 and Lawrence | collierfes. The Park Place workings w | In operation for a short time to-day, bv | could not continue with the small force.

Other colllerfes in the region still in operation are the Blast, at Ashland: Potts, at Locustdale; Locust Springs, at Locust Gap, and the North Franklin, at Trevorton. The Blast celllery is said to be shorthanded. The English-speaking mine workers of this_borough to v formed a branch of the United Mine orkers and 250 are said to have joined e union. Mr. Harris addressing the men. said that the pres- ence of the militia has given unexpected impetus to organization.

The highwaymen were attempting to escape from officers who had arrested them for the robbery of three citizens. On Sunday night at Marcus, twenty- seven miles from Addy, Peter Brown, H. J. Griffis and another man were heid up in a boxcar by two men. The robbery oc- curred about midnight and the car occu- ants were relieved of about $80. The rob- | bers were unmasked. The victims swore | out John Doe warrants and last night | pointed out the highwaymen to the Sheriff at Marcus. The men escaped in the dark- ness and the Sheriff wired their descrip- tions to nearby towns. G. W. Gear, a_merchant at Addy, tele- phoned this morning to the Sheriff at Col- ville that two men answering_the descrip- tion had just reached Addy. E. 8. Dudley and Willlam Chamberlain of Addy were deputized to pursue and capture the rob- bers. They found them in a restaurant in that town. The pair made no resistance, contenting themselves with declaring that | they were not the men wanted. They ac- companied the officers to the street. One deputy entered a store, leaving the other to guard the vrisoners. The robbers then attempted to escape. Both officers and many citizens started | HIGHWAYMAN SLAIN UING POSSE Supposed Northern Pacific Train ' Robber Killed and His Accom= plice Captured. Special Dispatch to The Call. in pursuit. The highwaymen, being un- familiar with the country, started for a bend in the Colville River and soon reached the stream. Finding themselves hemmed in and ng no attention to the calls to surrender, they plunged into the stream, which was about sixteen feet deep at this point and 100 yards wide. They fired at their pursuers just before entering the water, but the bullets flew wide. As the men swam the river bullets struck the water all about them, and as they gainea the opposite bank one of the robbers fell dead, a bullet having reached his heart. The other man, Sprague Wells, was shoi through the hand. Seeing the fate of his companion and that escape was impossi- ble Le surrendered. The dead man had a revolver and $10 in c: on his person. ‘Wells had a new navy revolver and $i2. Both were identified as the men who robbed the box- car travelers. Wells and the body of his partner were taken to Colville, the county scat. An inquest will be held to-morrow. Wells has _besh identified as a former resident of Northport. He is a “tin horn' gambler. The dead man Is unidentified. His description, except that he is clean. shaved and the other had a mustache, tal lies closely with that of the lone high- wayman who held up the Northern Pa- cific train early Saturday morning. The last trace of that highwayman was at Deer Park, which is twenty miles south 6f Marcus. He was there on Saturday afterncon and left on a northbound frejght train. It is thought he may be the man killed to-day. Mrs. C. B. Houghton . Recelved by Mayor P Teachers and scholars French School 10 00 : Total ... Previouely acknowledged Total to date ...

HOBSON EXPLAINS WHAT HE MEANT TO SAY Reaches New York and Declares That the Vancouver Correspondents Distorted His Remarks. Special Dispatch to The Call. ‘NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—*“That Vancouv- er interview was so distorted that I did not recognize it,” said Lieutenant Rich- mond Pearson Hobson, who reached this city to-day and was seen at the Plaza Hotel. He admitted having sald that Dewey's guns did not sink the Spanish warships. “The Spantards scuttled their own ves- sels™ he said, “but we all know why. They wouldn’t have opened their sea cocks unless they bad to, would they? “I never had the slightest intention of belittling Admiral’ Dewey's victory. As regards my statement that Admiral Dewey did not sink the Spanish squadron, anybody who knows anything about mod- ern warships well knows that they can- not be sunk in a smooth sea by direct fire. Admiral Sampson’s squadron did not sink Cervera's squadron. We all know that, but no one thinks of discrediting the victory. In‘a seaway you might sink a ves@1 with big guns, for the reason that you\gan make an occasional hole below the water line when the ship is rolling. Otherwise you can’t sink her, unless you torpedo her or ignite her magazine.” Lieutenant Hobson has changed much in appearance, He has shaved off his mustache and grown stouter. His eyes are affected somewhat as the result of his continuous labors in the Orient, but his health is good. Criminal Prosecution Dismissed. SAN JOSE, Sept. 25.—The criminal pros- ecution of Attorney William M. Beggs and E. N. Whiteside of this city and F. C.
