To-day will see about 75,000 miners
resume work in the bituminous coal
fields of the central states.- The strike
generally ends to-day. - This is the
middle of the twelfth week of its dura

convention held at Columbus, O., on
the 8th to the 11th of the present
month, the ten days' time being given

TKJJB'S QCTXT FBCDICTED. .
"The mining situation is not likely
to become disturbed again until the be
ginning of next year, at which time we
hope to be able to settle wage differ
ences amicably and without the neces
sity of ft strike. It is well understood
that the fight will continue from
the present time in all fields
anil against all operators who refuse to
meet the rates. The great trouble will
be found in West Virginia and por
tion of Illinois. I am still hopeful,
however, that the producers in those
fields will conform to the change, and
put their mines in operation. Failing
to do this, we will fight them as we
have done until the beginning of next
year, at which time it is said their
present contracts will expire.
SATISFIED WITH THZ AGRBI-f EST.
. "I am well satisfied with the agree
ment reached, and feel that it is the
greatest . victory gained by trades
unions lor years. Of course, the victory
is not altogether one of the miners.
While they have done the striking, the
trades unions ana organized ooaies
have supplied the necessaries, without
which the miners could not pos
sibly succeed. It ' is a - vic
tory for organized - labor, and
not- for any particular trade,
and we want our friends who have
helped us to feel that it is their victory
s well as ours. I feel very grateful

kindly disposition shown us at all times
by Mr. Gompers and the members of
his executive committee."

convention, that a uniform mining

price for other veins within the state.
BATE PAIS TO OPERATORS AJJD MINKHS.
"The fixing of ft mining rate that
will give fair competing opportunities

tion everywhere. We have been work

forts have been futile, . we
will continue "... to advocate : that
policy, believing there is bat one sure
way to keep down strikes and disputes,
which are no advantage to either side,
and that is for the miners and opera
tors interested from the various states

ach district that are fair and just, and
each party to the agreement to observe
it faithfully until a subsequent agree
ment takes its place. During the eight
years that this system was in vogue,
strikes and disturbances of ft general
character were unknown, and the
causes' which gave rise to them can

SHERIFF MARTIN
Aad BlTty-Vour of HI Dapatlee Arraigned
tor PreMmiaar- Trial at WlUuss-arre,
Sk Tb7 Far-is 811 ta the Aggregate
of 6I0OOU I uUl Ue Hearing to Coa
laded. WJ&KESBA&K3, Pa., Sept 81. -Sheriff
Martin aud his 64 deputies were given
a preliminary hearing before the court
yesteraay, charged with the killing oz
44 striking miners near Lattimer on
Friday, September 10. :;.
The deputies were brought up from
Hazieton under military escort A
large crowd met them at the
depot, but they proceeded unmo
lested to the courthouse. Judges Lynch
and Bennett presided. Judge Lynch
announced that tbe . judges would
kit as justices of the peace to hear tes
timony in the case. John M. Gorman
opened for the prosecution and stated
that he was employed to investigate
the shooting at Lattimer and inquire
If the sheriff and his deputies were
justified in killing 24 men. . ' '
He began by referring to "Dictator"
Gobin, who refused to allow the dep
uties to be arrested when warrants
were issued ten days ago. ; The attor
ney also referred to Coroner McKee be
ing a major in the -Ninth regiment; to
his manner of procedure in the arrest
of the deputies, and to his bringing
them here surrounded by ft military
company with guns and bayonets.
Mr. Gorman then made a motion ask
ing that the warrants of 'Squire Gor
man be given the preference, aud .that
the deputies be remanded to the regu
lar officers of the law.
Jndge Lynch replied that the judges
did not act hastily, but issued the war
rants after due deliberation. The
judge said that this hearing had noth
ing to do with the conduct of Gen,
Gobin. The court said the witnesses
who were not present should be
brought in, and that the hearing could
be proceeded with such witnesses as
were present Attorneys Gorman and
McGahren then notified the court that
they would withdraw from the case.
District Attorney Fell then took
charge. - Sheriff Martin was seated at
the defendant's table, surrounded by
three lawyers.
John Walsh, of Hazle township, was
the first witness, fie said he saw the
strikers coming, aud went out to meet
them and to see what would happen.
Some of the men carried clubs. Wit
ness told them to throw away their
dubs, and they did so. Walsh said he
got on a car and started for Lattimer.
He heard one' of the deputies named
Turnbach say:
"I don't know what the sheriff means
by taking us around like this without
ordering us to shoot"
lie said the deputies got off the car
near Lattimer. The strikers came up
and witness saw Deputy Hess grab
one of the strikers and cry "Halt"
There was ft scuffle and some one cried
Fire.". There was one shot, then
another, and then ft volley. - The dep
uties kept on shooting as the men ran
away. He aald the fire lasted about
five minutes.
Jonathan Lichensberger, ft Hazle
ton contractor, was the next witness.
He said he was standing about 150
yards from the strikers when the.
trouble began. He saw bheriff Martin
approach the men. The sheriff had ft
paper in his hand which he read.
After reading the proclamation he or
dered the crowd to go back.' Then
they had a scuffle with him. He drew
his revolver, but some one grabbed his
wrist and held up his hand so that he
could not do anything. Then the
shooting began. .
Charles Gassrott, a school-teacher of
Lattimer, testified to seeing Sheriff
Martin scuffling with tbe strikers.
His testimony was much the same as
the preceding witness. .At the con
clusion of Gassrott's testimony the
judges, after ft consultation with Dis
trict Attorney Fell, held all the depu
ties in $4,000 each until the hearing is
concluded.
Joseph A. Sinn, trust officer of the
City Trust Safe Deposit and Surety Co.
of Philadelphia, qualified as bondsman
in the sum of 9350,000.
After bail had been furnished, a re
cess was taken until 2:30. ,
Several witnesses were examined
this afternoon, bnt the testimony was
merely corroborative of previous wit
nesses. Not a single witness testified
to hearing Sheriff Martin give the
order to fire..
The withdrawal of Attorneys Gor
man and McGahren has weakened the
prosecution, and it is doubtful if the
evidence will be strong enough to hold
the defendants for court The hearing
will be resumed this morning.
NOT TECHNICALLY GUILTY..
The Plea tlpoa Wale Ik u Alleged Embes.
tier Hopes to Escape Poalshtaeat.
Liscols, Neb., Sept 23. Insisting
that under the statutes he had com
mitted no crime, Eugene Moore, ex
state auditor of public accounts, yester
day pleaded not guilty to embezzling
funds to the extent of 923,298. Moore's
contention is that the money, which
consisted of insurance fees, should, un
der tbe law, have been paid to the state
treasurer, instead of ' to himsnlf, and
that he is responsible only to the in
surance companies by which the money
was patf.
This action was due to an under
standing between ' the attorneys for
the prosecution and the defense, and
the case will go to the supreme court
whatever the. decision of the lower
court may be. A motion - for arrest of
judgment in behalf -of Moore will be
argued October 13.

Nett Osleass, Sept S3. The local
fever situation was great!? improved
by r materially lower temperature, tbe
thermometer at six o'clock being 63.
Incubation of 'yellow fever germs re
quires ft sustained Fahrenheit temper
eature of 70, and if the present cool
spell continues, conditions promise
steadily to grow better.
Dr. Touatre, an eminent and experi
enced yellow fever physician, and ft
member of the board of experts, says
in an interview that the records since
1358 show that yellow fever has never
been declared epidemic in any year af
ter its appearance here inside of two or
three months. That was the case in
1853, '53, '67 and IS. . The history of
the epidemics of the last half century
prove that all epidemics waned with
the first cold of October, disappearing
almost entirely, in November. . If we
add month and ft half more to the
period of incubation for foci to estab
lish themselves, we are brought al
most to the end of October to have
an epidemic. An epidemic at that
late date is out of the question.
The government has put in effect its
baggage inspection at trains and steam
boats. It will require . at least five
hours each day in which to do this
work of inspection, and the railroads
have issued notices to outgoing passen

and landing at least five hours before the
departure of their trains and steam
boats. '

of the police, continues to be the one
topic of discussion in this city, and
newspapers sell extra editions in order
to supply the demands "of the public
Fresh arrests have been made, mainly
among the officers attached to the sec
ond police station supposed to be im
plicated in the bloody drama. One ol
the men arrested, named Carmona, U
alleged to be the person who wielded
the dagger so effectively.
Among those arrested are servant
of the inspector-general of police and
the assistant chief detective, it being
believed that they know much of what
took, place, if they were not directly
implicated in the killing. All these
prisoners were consigned to the grim
old prison of Celem. It is aaid that
some of the prisoners, including the
inspector-general and assistant chief
of detectives, are confronted by in
numerable proofs that the police were
the real authors of the crime and have
begun to admit their knowledge of the
affair. Probably the man most inti
mately connected with the affair is
Inspector Ville Vicenzio, of the sec
ond station, who was said to have Bug
gee ted the killing of Arroyo and dis
guised the secret police and gendarmes
who penetrated the police headquar
ters, where their helpless victim lay.

Loroox, Sept 23. Hacnis Taylor,
the former United States minister to
Spain, has arrived here, and called at
the United States embassy. In an in
terview Mr. Taylor said: "The grave
negotiations pending between the Unit

Cuba, are now entirely in the hands of
Gen. Woodford, who has had fruitful
experience, both in peace and war, ann
will be equal to the occasion, whatevei
it may be." . .
. THAT SEBASTIAX DISPATCH.
"Sir. Taylor was questioned in regard
to the accuracy of the statements con
tained in the dispatch from San Sebas
tian to the Paris Temps, purporting to
give the substance of the interview
which took place on Sunday last be
tween Gen. Stewart L. Woodford,
the United States minister ,to Spain,
and : the duke of Tetuan, the
Spanish minister for foreign affairs,
which Gen. Woodford is said to have
insisted courteously, but firmly, upon
the necessity of terminating the war
in Cuba, and to have declared that if it
Is not terminated by the end of Octo
ber the United States will feel justified
in taking measures to secure the inde
pendence of Cuba.

In reply the former minister said:
, "My lips are sealed until after my
arrival at Washington."
While Mr. Taylor refused to discuss
this matter, his manner tended to con
firm the story told by the correspond
ent of the Paris Temps. .
Begardiog the general feeling in
Spain, Mr. Taylor remarked:
"I must in justice say that I have
never received any personal discourtesy
from anyone, but for tae past year my
residence was guarded by soldiers."

In the matter of section 23 of the new

goods coming directly into the United

and' also holds that foreign goods

Two questions were asked the' at

in effect whether the discrimating
duty of ten per cent, provided for in
section 22, should be assessed against
an invoice of tea from China, which had
arrived at Vancouver in British ves

Canada to Chicago; the second ques
tion was whether the discriminating

of manganese ore from Chili, which re
