DpcUioii Reached to Offer n 10 Pel Cent Advance and Reduction In I'riee of INnvder— tnlon Ignored. Wlnil Mine Worker* Wuut. WILKKSHARKE. Pa.. Oct. 2.—The coul operators >.f the Wyoming, Lacka wanna anil Lehigh valley regions held an important meeting in this city yes terday afternoon and decided to offer the miners tin increase of 10 per cent in wages and also to reduce the cost of pow der to tin- miners from 7.1 to ifl.at) pel keg. \V. A. Lathrop, general superin tendent of the Lehigh Valley company, presided. The whole situation was thoroughly discussed, nearly all those present taking part. The powder question was the chief subject of debate, and next came the rec ognition of the union. So far as can be learned none of the operators was in fa vor of recognizing the union in any way. The raeetiug lasted from 2 until 1! p. m. Last evening W. A. Lathrop, the chairman of tho meeting, gave out the following for the Lehigh Vulley Coal company: "This company makes the following an nouncement to its mine employees: It will adjust its rates of wages so as to pay to its mine employees on and after Oct. 1 a net increase of 10 per cent on the wagqs heretofore received and will take up with its tnine employees any griev ances which they may have." It Is understood in the foregoing that powder will be sold to miners for $1.50 per keg and that the difference between this rate and the old rate of $2.7. r i shall be taken into account in figuring the net advance of 10 per cent noted above for this class of labor. Similar notices to the above will be posted by all the other companies repre sented at the meeting. The strikers say that under no circumstances will they ac cept the offer. They claim it Is not as good an offer us the Reading company made to its men. The union is iguorcd and the net In* crease must come out of the price of powder. E. M. Palmer, chairman of the press committee nt United Mine Workers' headquarters, said: "The men will not return to work under such conditions. It is not a fair offer." The operators will make no further move until they hear from the men. At the United Mine Workers' head quarters this statement was given out: "What wo waut b»: "First.—A better enforcement of exist ing mine laws. "Second.—To obtain that which is fully our own—i. e„ the value of labor actually perforated and hitherto taken front its. "Third,—To obtain tjie right to pur chase our implements of labor tit a fait market value and escape from the com pulsory rule which forces us to pay the operators m->re than twice what the same materials can be purchased for at retail in the open market. "Fourth. —To allow a readjustment of the wage scale that will nearly conform to the normal conditions of the anthracite trade anil establish as nearly as practica ble a uniform price for each class of work in aud around the mines." The strikers say until these concessions are granted and the union recognised they will not return to work. ('reparations are about completed for the big demonstration to be held in this city today, President Mitchell aud other leading officer* of the I'ulted Mine Work ers will lw present. After the parade u big mass meeting will be held. MINERB IGNORE OFFERS. UiMirslvm SsrprtMil at the firm Mlnuil ml Ik* Workmen. iIAZI.KTON. IV, Oct. 2.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER (i. 111). ever, tnat. mere wouia be no resumption of work until a convention of the unthra cite miners had been called and the proposition considered. Althotigh the labor leaders positively said they did not fear n break in the ranks of the anthracite coal strikers, they were nevertheless pleased to learn that the 10 per cent advance granted by the Philadelphia and Heading Coul and Iron company iu the Schuylkill valley was totally ignored by the striking mine workers. It was predicted that many of the strikers would return to work un der the belief that the 10 per cent would be the limit of the operators' concession, but the unanimity of the men in deciding to stand out for a further advance caus ed many remarks of surprise. It was expected In some quarters that yesterday would bring a turning point iu the strike, but nothing came to the sur face that would lead to any indication of the strike Hearing nil end. Since the operators began to hold conferences Pres ident Mitchell is receiving more informa tion than formerly and giving out less. That he knows more about the situation than he cares to tell is hardly doubted by any one. He has practically admit ted that he received advices from New Y'jrk as t« the doings of the operators. There is still a lack of anything tangible on which to base the report of an imme diate settlement. President Mitchell con tinues to deny that he knows anything about if. The Strike situation in the Lehigh val ley showed a change in favor of the men. Several hundred men quit work at the Calvin Pardee mines at Lnttimer ns tho result of persuasion on the part of 400 marching strikers, and at Oneida aud Crunberry the coal companies lost addi tional men. A Family Mix I'p. SYRACUSE, Oct. I.—C. M. Smith and his son Ira of Cortland each mistook the other for a burglar in their home early yesterday morning. The son fired several shots at the old gentleman, and the latter retaliated with a kettle of boil ing water and a lighted lamp. The ap pearance of the mother and wife put an end to the hostilities. The elder Mr. Smith then came to the conclusion that his sou was trying to kill him uud had him arrested. Afterward a reconcilia tion was effected.

CHICAGO, Oct. I.—Senator W. A. Chirk of Montana ban consummated plans for tho building of the Los An geles nnd Salt Lake City railroad after consultation with Salt Lake City and Los Angeles capitalists who ore in Chi cago. Another chief promoter is It. C. Ker ens of St. Louis. Republican national committeeman from Missouri, who is also here. Mr. Kerens stated that the new railroad absorbs the franchise nnd prop erty of the Los Angeles Terminal com pany, thus providing for its entrance into the southern California metropolis. The Mormon church has practically promised n terminal site in the Utah capital, and i a tract of ten acres will be turned oyer to the railway for its stations and freight departments. ! Between the termini the whole un opened southwest will be spanned. Thd Sierra Nevada will be pierced through one of its southern passes, and the su premacy of the Southern Pacific railway, hitherto unchallenged on the Pacific coast, will be effectually broken, at least in southern California. The death of Collis P. Huntington removed the last obstacle to the success of the Clark- Kerens syndicate. The construction will require $25,000,000 in expenditures. Mr. Bryan In Mlnaeaotu. ST.
