WITH FIXED BAYONETS Strikers Were Met lly Soldiers After Long and Weary March. EXPEDITION WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. Mnrclicr5Were United on the High- way uud Forced to Turn Back. JlcAiloo Women uud Mother Jones lu the Procession. Lansford, Pa., Oct. 16. About 1,500 men and CO women and girls marched 18 miles from the south. Bido Hazelton region during the night for the Panth er Creek valley where they expected to close all of the 10 collieries of the Le high Coal and Navigation company, but just as the weary marchers were nearing their destination they were met on a mountain road by three com panies of infantry and at the point of tho bayonet .were driven back four miles to Tamaqua and dispersed. An other crowd of 800 men from the north side of Hazleton also marched heie and succeeded in closing the com pany's No. 1 colliery at Nesquehonins, near Mauch Chung, before It was scat tered. The presence of the soldiers was entirely unexpected and the strik ers were much crestfallen that they failed in accomplishing the object of their long march. It was probably the most exciting morning the Panther creek and Nesquehonlng valleys have ever experienced. Strikers were scat tered over the various roads) and com panies of soldiers were scurrying in all directions heading off the march ing men. Tho troops were patient with the strikers, while the labor men were careful not to commit overt acts in tho presence of the troops. For a moment just after after the two forces met on the road in the darkness it looked as if a clash would come, but those who had charge of the strikers prevented a conflict. The march on Panther Creek valley was on the strikers program for sev eral days. Tho United Mine Workers ever since the strike started have been attempting to close the collieries of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company in this region. Organizers were con stantly in the region, but as 'a rule they did. not meet with much success, bo it was decided to use stronger meth ods to get the men employed in the 10 mines out on strike. Accordingly it was arranged that a big demonstrat tion should be held in the valley. It was to have been held Monday, but owing to the heavy rain and muddy roads It was called off until Tuesday. Those who took part were strikers from McAdoo, Yorktown, Bunker Hill and Sllverbrook from the south side of Hazleton and the Freeland, Drifton, Jeddo and Beaver Meadow strikers from tho north side. The women and girls all came from McAdoo, which is the only borough in tho Hazleton re gion with organized female marchers. Ordered to Turn Hack. Five carriages containing newspaper correspondents who had been trailing along at the rear of the procession were requested to take the lead so that they would not Interfere with the plans of the strikers. Following the newspaper men came the other con veyances containing tho McAdoo wo men, then followed a long line of Hun garians, Italians, Poles, Slavs and English-speaking mine workers. At a point about a mile from Coaldalo there is a sharp turn in the road and as tho newspaper men rounded It there came a command of "halt," and about 30 feet in front of them Btood Bolld rows of soldiers who were stretched across the road with bayo nets fixed. Sheriff Tdolo of Schuyl kill county was with them. The com mander of tho troops speaking to (he waiting crowd said: "In the namt of tho people of the state of Pennsyl vania, I command you to disperse and return whence you came.' The strikers began to protest that they could not be stopped on a public highway and many of them showed a disposition to resist the soldiers. The officers in charge of tho troops, how ever, kept his men in position and the strikers returned toward Tamaqua. "Mother" Jones, who was in the crowd, vehemently protested against the action of the troops in stopping tho marchers, but she was shut off and ordered to move on. The McAdoo wo men had to be almost pushed along, so Blowy did they walk. They continual ly Jeered at tho Boldlers, calling them all kinds of names, and threatening them with punishment if they should dare to visit McAdoo. It took from 3 o'clock until after 6 to drive the crowd back to Tamaqua. The soldiers wore eight companies of th'e Fourth regiment which has been stationed at Shenandoah. General Gobln was in command. When the soldiers had driven the strikers over the mountain a company was sent to Tamaqua to quell any dis turbance the scattering strikers might stir up there. Further along the road a company was deployed to protect a collery while the marchers were pass ing it. The three companies met at Tamaqua and scattered tho marchers. While all this had been going on the north side marchers had exerything their own way In the Nesquehonlng valley. They persuaded enough men to remain away from the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company's No. 1 col liery to cause it to be shut down. Gen eral Gobin wnt two companies of boI dlers there ujd restored order. END JS IN SIGHT. Bo Think Operators Who Are Pre paring to Resume Worn Scranton, Pa., Oct. 1G. Assurance of the end of tho strike of the anthra cite miners seems certain in view of tho preparations being mads all through the .Lackawanna valley for the resumption of work. The coal companies are crowding their mine sidings with empty cars and the end of the week will iind thousands of cars n place where foimerly only hundreds Were to be seen. This is done in order to be prepared for the great demand for coal which will necessitate the running of the mines and breakers to their utmost capacity for weeks in or der to get stock ahead to meet the winter demand. Becoming Impatient. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 1G. Some of the striking mine workers In the Wy oming valley are getting restless over the delay in settling the strike. Many of them expected to be at work by Wednesday but it now looks as though the fifth week would go by without operations being resumed. The op erators here are still of one mind and say "If the men want to return to work at the 10 per cent increase origi nally offered they aro at liberty t do so." Couldn't Coax Strikers Duck. Shamokln, Pa., Oct. 16. Despite an active canvass by a number of men to induce miners to go to work at collier ies between here and Hickory Ridge, none reported for duty and tho per sons circulating petitions asking men to resume work pending a settlement of the terms of tho Scranton conven tion have been disappointed. Soldiers-Very Busy. Coaldale, Pa., Oct, 16.

Lane, son-in-law of ex-Senator Black burn, committed suicide at his homo here.

Mr. Lane was the Amer ican representative of the London ordnance'flrm of Vickers SonB & Max im. He was well-to-do, prominently connected and a familiar figure iu Washington society. It is said he was driven to tho act by brooding over hia ill-health. He was told some time ago that he had brlght's disease . which preyed on his mind. Senator Black burn was in Hagerstown, Me., when tho news of tho suicide reached him. He had been on a campaign tour of tho state.

BIG SUM OF GOLD WAS TAKEN. things of Value Krom Other Sources hwcll the Volume to Immense Value LI Bung Chang Wants l'lio Gold tilveu Buck. Washington, Oct. 16. The American share of the loot at Tien Tsin is larger than at first reported. It has been understood that ail the Americans took after the capture of Tien Tsin was gold amounting in value to ?278, 000. This report arose from the fart that Li Hung Chang asked General Chaffee to restore that sum to the Chi nese government. It now appears that this ?27S,000 was only the value of gold coins and gold bars taken from the Chinese treasury at Tien Tsin and apparently it was only tho money which concerned Earl LI as a govern ment official. Things of value were also obtained from other sources and it is now re ported that the total value of the loot will reach a figure about ?100,000 in excess of tho amount originally re ported. The gold coin and gold bars taken from the treasury were melted by order of General Chaffee. Nothing is yet known about similar seizures in Peking or at points along the line of march. The total value of the seizures will probably be very high. Li Hung Chang's request for the ?27S,000 taken from the treasury has received no re ply. There is considerable doubt whether the United States is entitled to keep this gold, whatever Its amounts may finally determined to be, because tills government has been proceeding on the theory that no war exists in China. Nevertheless it Is extremely unlikely that the gold will ever be re turned to China, even that part of it identified and claimed by Li Hung Chang. It may not be held as spoils of war for the reason given, but It will probably be held as part payment of the Indemnity which America will demand. Americans Kndangered. New York, Oct. 1G.
