advance. VOLUME II. GREAT STRIKE IS UNDER WAY w "\ Over a Hundred Thousand Coal Diggers Lay Down Picks. ANTHRACITE FIELDS SILENT Great Struggle Between Opera¬ tors and Miners In Pennsly- vania Begins In Earnest. - The great . struggle . ... between the a- thracitoeoal miners of Pennsylvania and their employers was begun, a- scheduled, Monday. Each side is con -< * ‘""‘“s- ■»* - contending forces shows any tiou to yield. The exact number men who struck could not bo ascer¬ tained, as only estimates of the nniu- 'grot men who did not start work were made during the day. R ports received by the United Mine Workers officials from the entire anthracite region were to them satis¬ factory. In the Haz'eton district there are 16,000men employed in aud about, the mines. Of this number it is con¬ servatively estimated that, about 50 per tent, or 8,000 min err quit work. Five thousand of these ! -long to eolleries which did not work at all, and the re¬ maining 3,000 to mines which worked short-handed. The district south of Hazleton, known as the South Side, was tied up completely with the exception of Coleraine, Beaver Meadow aud Car¬ sons washeries. Iu this territory the United Mine Workers are very strong. O i the north side, the upper Lehigh, Minesville, Ebervale and Drifton No. 1 collieries, employing about 1,500 men, aro shut down. The mines at Lattimer and Pond Creek, employing 1,200 men, nre working full, bat every other mine in that big territory is working with bad¬ ly crippled forces. Three of the Mar¬ ble mines, over which there has been so much contention, worked all day with about 65 per cent of their men. On the west side every colliery started up minus its ■union men except tho Hazleton mines, where the miners went to work in consequence of a misunderstanding. About 109 foreign speaking miners left, Hazleton for New York, whero they will fake a steamer for Europe, These meu expect a long strike, nnd rather than remain idle iu this conn- try, they preferred to go their former homes. President Mitchell gave out the fob lowing statement Monday night: ( J Information received un to tonight “Reports received are to tho effect that large numbers or those who went to the mines today will joiu in the sus- pension tomorrow. “We feel confident that the entire number of men employed iu and about the local mines of the anthracite dis- trict will be idle in tbe next few davs. “The meu appear determined‘to continue on strike until their demands Sn: ,c o e f h r u now sCx 6 cecds that of any other industrial contest in the history J of our country y ‘ “John Mitchell, In speaking of the charge that poli- tics might have something to do with the present strike, President Mitcheil said Monday: “Politics will not, cannot and must not enter into the strike. Personally, I approach the contest as a mother would a babe iu its first illness. The sole object of that mother is restora- tion of' her baby's health. Tho men ■who are called leaders in this strike are animated with tho some considera- tion. Thero cannot be nnd shall not be any contention in a political sense, as to the declaration of tbe strike. The loaders feel, and they want their men to feel, and they want the public to know, that this is a fight for human liberty. It would bo nonsensical, it would be cruel for any one to inject politics.” TO SHIELD A “FRIEND.” Shortage of $20,000 la Found After Sul- cide of a Dunk Teller. A shortage of $20,099 in the Union National bank at Chicago was discov- ered Monday through an investigation prompted by the suicide Sunday of George S. Forbes, a teller of tbe bank, Forbes wroto a farewell note to his mother, in which he said. “I was weak and let tho one I con- sidered my best friend get me into troublo. I have not seen him since the 1st of September nnd do not know where he is.” Forbes' sole crime, tbe bank officials believe, was in covering up tbe ac- counts of tho “friend” refered to. Thirty Millions For Campaign. It is rumored iu Washington that Senator Hanna will return to New York to mature a plan for raising $30,- 000,090 to be used in the canvass of doubtful states. This is estimated as twice the amount used in 1896. Only One Mine Running. Every mine in the Wyoming valley, (Pa.) with the exception of oue, was closed Monday by the miners’ strike. The total number of men idle in the valley is a little over 22,000. LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE Formulated by Hon. W. J.

Tho platform adopted at Kansas City commands my cordial aud un¬ qualified approval. It courageously meets the issues now before the coun¬ try, nnd states clearly and without ambiguity the party’s position on every question considered. Adopted by a convention which assembled on the anniversary of th< siguing of the declaration of independence, it breathes the spirit of candor, independence and patriotism which characterizes those who, at Philadelphia in 1776, promul- gated the creed of the republic. Having in my notification speech discussed somewhat at length tho pnramonut issue, imperialism, nnd added some observations on militarism and (be Boer war, it is sufficient at tbit tirno to review the remaining planks of tho platform. trust ouestions ‘ , J'l?

Telegrams to Indian agents and game wardens asking them to investi- gate affairs at Cedar wer i also sent by the governor. The nearest troops are at Fort Duchesne. Utah. Price of Coal Advances. The effects of the anthracite coal miners’ strike have already been felt in Chicago. Every dealer in the city raised tbe price Monday from $6.25 to 97. This is only the beginning of what is expected if the strike continues. Good Work In Galveston.

The demand for a constitutional amendment providing for tbe election of senators by direct vote of tbe peo¬ ple appears for tbe first time in a Democratic platform. New couditk ns have made it imperative that the people be permitted to speak directly in the selection of their representatives in the senate. The platform indorsos the principle of direct legislation. This is already applied to the more important ques¬ tions in nation, state and city.

Lord Roberts Tells Boers That They Must Surrender at Once, as Their Cause Is Hopeless. A dispatch received at the waroffi e« in London Friday from Lord Roberts, dated Macliudodorp, September 13th, says that Kruger has fled and Botha hns given over the command gf the Boer army temporarily to iMiajon, on account of ill health. Lord Roberts gives the text of a proclamation which ho has circulated, in which he says Kruger’s desertion of the JAner should make clear to his fel¬ low burghers that it is useless to con¬ tinue the struggle any longer. Lord Roberts declares the British army is determined to carry the war to a conclusion; says tho fighting has degenerated into irregular operatious which must be brought to au early end, and concludes: “The means I am compelled to adopt are those which the customs of war prescribe as applicable to such cases. They are ruinous to the coun¬ try, and entail endless suffering to the burghers nud their families, and the longer this guerilla warfare contiunes the more vigorously must they bo en¬ forced.” According to the LoreDzo Marqnes correspondent of The Daily Tele¬ graph, Mr. Kruger is virtually a pris¬ oner in the residence of the district gov¬ ernor. This is at the instance of the British consul, who protested against Mr. Kruger using Portuguese territory ns a base for directing his executive. The French consul has been forbid¬ den access to Mr. Kruger, as have also the latter’s own officials. Tho district governor has notified Herr Pott, the Netherlands consul, that he can no longer be recognized as a representa¬ tive of the Trail avaal, which is now British territory.

IN DIPLOMATIC PHASE / The Chinese Situation Has Lost Some of Its Recont Aoutoness. SHARP DIPLOMACY NOW IN ORDER Russian* Receive ¥4 Hung Chnng on I)oar<l Warship—Octt. Chaffee Kx- preuse* mi Opinion. A Washington special says: Thero were no developments in the Chinese negotiations Friday with which the public could be made acquainted, the whole matter being still in tho diplo¬ matic phase, and therefore not calling for military orders. The war department officials" are awaiting word from the slate depart- ment as to the next stop expected of tho troops, but it is now intimated that this will not be taken immediately. The situation has lost something of its acuteness owing to the change in the attitude of the Russian govern¬ ment ns indicated in Thursday’s dis¬ patches, and although no officinl con¬ firmation has reached Washington of the postponement, of the withdrawal, the faot is not doubted here. Rut re¬ gardless of tho course to be taken by Russia, it is now said that thero is nothing in the American note of ro- spouso to Russia that demands an im¬ mediate evacuation iu the event that the Russian troops are called away. Instead, it is stated that the control tho situation would simply pass from tho state department into General Chaffee’s hands, and it would he for him, after conferring with tho other militaiy commanders, to determine when aud how, and to what extent the American forces should he withdrawn. RUSSIANS REOEIVB HAUL LI. “Li Hung Chang will bo taken on board a Russian wnrship at Wu Sang and received by the Russians at Taku,” says tho Shanghai correspondent of The London Post, “and ho will bo ac¬ companied by the Chinese minister of railways.” According to the Shanghai oorres- pondent of The London Times, wiring Wednesday, Earl Li considers that the preliminary difficulty of tho negotia¬ tions consists in tho necessity, which he realizes, of denouncing PriucoTuan and ljis accomplices to tbe throne. He is of the opinion that it would be ad¬ visable for the allies to take the initia¬ tive by compiling a list of those held obiefly thoir responsible, and by formulut- in-g demands accordingly. Tho Paris correspondent of the Morning Post says: “Franco nnd Russia, I have been assured, have agreed to demand the complete dismemberment of Chi- un, including the razing of the Taku forts and the fortifications and arsenals elsewhere.” General Chaffee is preparing to make his troops comfortable for tho winter. When asked his opinion re¬ garding the situation, Lo is reported to have answered: “It would be bettor for the United States troops to leave; but, in any event, tho Chinese Christians will be provided for.” DEMOCRATS TO TACKLE EAST. , , B-.pomto ™ort, to Capture Republican State*.

BLOODY WORK CONTINUES. Fanatical Chinese Keep Up Wholesal# Murder of Missionaries. A London special says: All the oor- respondents in China are sending ter- rible stories of the wholesale massacre of missionaries and native Christians. It is asserted that during July between 15,000 and 20,000 converts were mas- sacred in the northern provinces, Large numbers of missionaries aro still unacconnted for. Native reports are subject to the most careful scrutiny, with tho result that although thoro may bo some ex- aggeration, it is impossible to doubt that in the main they are correct.

EIGHTY-FIVE LIVES LOST On a flulf and Interstate Train Which Was Caught In the the Galveston Storm. The New Orleans States received a telegram Thursday from non. John Poe, momber of tbe stato board of ed¬ ucation, and rosidiugat Lake Obarles, stating that eighty-five lives were lost on tho Gulf and Interstate train which left Now Orleans Fridny night preced¬ ing llio storm. Mr. Toe was one of the passengers on this train, and together with a few others ho sought safety in the light¬ house at Bolivar Point and was snvod. Tho train reached Bolivar about noon and alt preparations were made to run the train on tha ferry boat pre¬ paratory to crossing the bay, but the wind blow so swiftly that tho ferry could not make a landing, and tho conductor of the train, after allowing it to stand on the track for a few min¬ utes, started to back it back toward Beaumont. Tho wind increased so rapidly, coming in from tho open sen, that soon the water had reaohed a level with the button of the scats within tho cars. It was then that some of the passen¬ gers sought safety in the nearby lighthouse. But Mr. Too states iu his telegram that in spite of all efforts eighty-five passengers were blown nwny or drowned. The train was en¬ tirely wrecked. Doubtless some of the killed were from New Orleans, as tho train made direct conuectious with tho Southern Pacific train which left there Fridny night, and there was a largo number of New Orlenns passengers aboard, and it is known that at least some of these were bound for Galveston. Those who were saved bad to spend over fifty hours iu the dismal light¬ house on short rations. CAROLINA. FARMERS MEET. Wheat nnd Cotton Growers Assemble Con¬ jointly at Greenwood. The South Carolina Cotton Growers’ Association and the Wheat Growers' Association began their convention in Greenwood Thursday with a large at¬ tendance. The wheat growers were called to order by the president, A. O. Lati¬ mer. Ho had been unable, he said, to got tho attendance of Secretary of Ag¬ riculture WilBon, but Mr. Wilson had sent his representative, Mr. William S. Hill, of the department, the next host mnn. Mr. Hill gave South Caro¬ lina Farmers some straight talk—talk that will do good in Georgia or any- whero else in the south. In wheat growing, be said, the state is far be¬ hind all other sections of tho United States, and even of the world. Tho average yield in tho state, ac¬ cording to the statistics of the agricul¬ tural department, is only eight bush¬ els per acre. A great mistake the farmers of South Carolina make is iu buying so many things out of the state that could bo raised at home. Take wheat, for instance, South Carolina ouly produces about one million bush- ele per annum, yet she consumes about 6,000,000 bushels. The money to pay for the other 5,000,000,between $5,000- 000 and $6,000,000, goes out of tho state. If this money could be kept at home it would be a great help to the farming interests. The address of the day was delivered iu tho cotton growers’ convention in the evening by President Jordan, of tho Georgia association, aud it is only fair to say that be gave South Carolina fnrmers'the fairest, plainest and most comprehensive business talk they liavo listoned to for a good many years. He bas given them hope and something on which to found that hope. FOR FOURTH TIME Mrs. IT ugh os Will Be Tried For Murder at Greenville, S.

Mrs. Hughes has four of tho most able lawyers in the state to (tfefend her. Ten additional murder cases will also be tried at this term of court. There are fifteen dispensary cases docketed.

PURSES OPEN TO GALVESTON People of the Country Vie With Each Other In Extending Help. CASH AND PROVISIONS POUR IN Condition of City Is Still Appalling and Unearthing of Dead Bodies Continue—Anarchy Ended. From all parts of the United States and many portions of Eugland many thousnnds of dollars are pouring into Houston for the relief of Texas’ tuto storm sufferers. Train loads of provisions and clothing are also hurry¬ ing towards Galveston, and those of the rcfugocs who have arrived in Houston are being made as comfort- ablo as possible. Estimates of the number of dead still vary. Mayor Jones, of Galveston, main¬ tains his opinion, given earlier, that tho number will bo no less than fir* thousand. Properly losses are mount¬ ing higher as further details arrive and some estimate for tho city of Gal¬ veston rcnch ns high ns twenty million dollars. Thero arc 25,000 homeless people in the city to bo taken care of, and it is a question whether Galveston can or will rebuilt. There seems to be a disposition on tho port of tha leading citizens, howover, to start res¬ olutely where the storm left off and raise a now city from the ruins of tha old. The military is patrolling the streets and looting has been given a set-back. Several additional cases have been re¬ ported where vandals have been shot down while robbing the dead, but troops are rapidly gaining control of tho lawless element. Though tho city appears to bo piti¬ lessly desolated, tho authorities and the commercial and industrial interest# are setting their forces to work and a start has at least been made toward the resumption of business on a mod¬ erate scale. The liquor saloons have at least temporarily gone out of the business, and every strong-limbed man who has not his own humble abode to look after is being pressed into servioe so that, first oft all, the water service may be resumed, the gutters flushed and the streets lighted. Tho further the reapers dig in tha ruins the greater becomos the inorease in the list of those who perished aa their homes tumbled about their heads. On the lower beach Thursday a search¬ ing party found a score of corpses within a slight area, going to show that the bulwark of debris that lies straight across the island conceals many more bodies than have already been accounted for. Volunteer gangs continue their work of hurried burial of tho corpses they find on the shores of Galveston at the many neighboring poiuts where fatal¬ ities attended' the storm, It will probably bo some days yet, however, before all the floating bodies have found nameless graves. Along the beach they are constantly being wash¬ ed up. Whether these are those who were swept out into the gulf and drowned, or are simply the return ashore of somo of those cast into the sea to guard against terrible pesti¬ lence, there is no means of knowing. The city still prosents the appear¬ ance of widespread wreck and rnitj. Little has been done to clear the streets of the terrible tangle of wires and the masses of wreck, mortar, slate, stone and glass that bestrew them. In various parts of the city the smell of decomposed flesh is still apparent. found Wherover such instances are the authorities are freely disinfecting. Ex-Millionaire a Bankrupt. David D. Mackey filed a petition in bankruptcy in the United States court at Evansville Thursday. His liabili¬ ties are estimated at 8577,765. He has no assets. Mr. Mackey was for¬ merly a western railroad king and owned a half dozen different lines. HANNA ADDRESSES HOOSIERS. Senator Greeted l*y Audience of 0,000 At Delphi, Indiana. Senator Marcus A. Hanna addressed the Republicans of tho ninth congres¬ sional district of Indiana at Delphi, Saturday. A large crowd had assem¬ bled at the train and a procession es¬ corted the senator to the courthouse square, where he addressed an audi¬ ence of about 5,000 people. Congress¬ man Charles B. Landis acted as chair¬ man of the meeting and introduced Senator Hanna, who was greeted with * great applause. Mobile Citizens Contribute. The Mobile cotton exchange sub¬ scriptions for Galveston relief amount¬ ed to $580, and the public subscrip- lion to $1,515, withont any canvassing being done. The revenue steamer Wi¬ nona has been ordered from Mobile to Galveston. Government Sends Tugs. The navy department has ordered the gunboats Bancroft, now at New London, Conn., aud the tug Somasot, at Pensacola, Fla., to proceed to Gal¬ veston, Tex., to furnish what aid they oau to tbe storm sufferers.
