The Lehigh Valley trackrrien'a etrlko situation remains unchanged today. The otllclals express the opinion that all of the -men will resume work on or before Monday of next week.

On the mountain cut-oft one of the trackmen who remained at work wai mobbed by a crowd of the Btiikeis at an early hour yesterday. The man Immediately quit work and left his boarding house. The men employed on the cut-off are principally foreigners. They are c!ntcr mlned to allow no ono to resume work and there may bo trouble unless the strike Is ended before new men are put to work. A largo crowd of strik ers gathered near the depot last even ing. They talked quietly and made no demonstration.

They stated that they called on Superintendent Neal to se cure the proposition that It was re ported he wanted read at tho moot ing and that he told them he didn't want anything to do with them. Lako Winola Railroad. The officials of the Lackawanna rail road who visited Lake Winola the fore part of the week with a view to looking over the ground for a branch railroad to the lake from elthe; Clark's Summit, Glenburn or Factoryvllle, were well pleased with the natural ad vantages offered for an extension of the line, and If sufllclent patronage Is assured and the expense of construc tion is limited there Is a possibility of a line being built In the near future. The season at Lake Winola Is now open and the cottagers are beginning to take possession of their summer homes. A new hotel has been opened on the north side of the lake by James Moore, formerly of this city and many new cottages are being erected. Sev eral new launches have boon placed on the lake. Miners Btopped Work. A large number of the minors In the Cayuga mine of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company, in North Scranton, were forced to stop work yesterday morning and leave the chambers In which they wero working, owing to the sudden settling of the ground.

The chlldrcns' ward of the Lacka wannat hospital Is rapidly becoming a reality. Work on the new wing of thi' Institution Is rapidly progressing and tho foundation Is now practically complete. Tho bricklayers are at work laving bricks. Benjamin James, who ha, been so successful in organizing the mine woikers in this part of the country, has left the city for Kansas, to which state he will confine his labois In the futuio. He will be succeeded by Fred J. Dllcher, who comes here from Ohio and who was one of the speakers at the recent Dewey Day mass meeting. SHOULD PREPARE FOR ENUMERATORS ttVntlmicd en rsc 8-1 the number of them born In each of tho great countries, tho amount of In termarriage between these foreigners and the natives, the proportion of the foreigners who settle In the cities and those who seek the country, their abil ity to read and to speak Ungllfch, and the law-nbldlng character of the popu lation. It Is sometimes said, for Instance, that crime Is specially common among the foreign population. Hut this state ment can not be supported by the cen sus figures. Few crimes are committed by persons under fifteen years of age, and vast numbers of the natives are under that age and therefore can not commit crime. When comparison t made between the native prisoners and the natives over fifteen years of age, and the foreign prisoners and tho for eign population over fifteen years of age, ono finds that the proportion of persons In prison is about B0 per cent, greater among the natives than among the foreign-born population. Another point brought out clearly by the census figures Is that Immigrants move but a comparatively short dis tance. The Canadian Immigrants live mainly along the Canadian frontier, and the Mexicans mainly along the southern boundary. Thus In 1890 tho Canadians were In a plurality among the foreign born in Maine, New Hamp shire, Vermont, Michigan, Montana, and Washington. The Mexicans, on the contrary, were In n. plurality In New Mexico and Arizona. The Ger mans, however, have spread all over tho United States, and were In a plu rality among the foreign born In twenty-six states and territories. To the several foreign-born elements of our population It is a matter of pride and interest to know the number of persons of their nationality in tho United States, and their general econ omic condition. In 1890 thero were more than 9,000,000 residents In the United States who were born In for eign countries. Of this number about 30 ptr cent, were born in Germany, 20 per cent, in Ireland, and about 10 per cent. In Canada and Newfound land. From 1821 to 1830 the United Kingdom contributed E3 per cent, of the total In migration to the United States, and Germany 33 per cent. In the decade 1SS1 to 1890 tho Immi grants from tho United Kingdom con stituted only 28 per cent, of the total Immigration, tho proportion from Ger many being slightly less. In the ten years 1861 to 1870 the combined Immi gration from Austria, Hungary, Rus sia, Pdand and Italy constituted only 1 per cent, of tho total Immigration. In tho decade 1881 to 1890 this propor tion rose to 17 per cent., and In tho nine years 1891-1899 to more than 64 per cent. We of the United States are all im migrants or tho descendonts of immi grants. A proper pride on the part of recent Immigrants In tho land of their birth, and a reasonable desire to se cure that recognition which Is due to their numbers and Importance, should lead all rersons of foreign birth to welcome the census enumerator and to answer his (jucstlons willingly and accurately, WORKING IN OLD FORGE NOW.

TO THE Thoro Thojr Saw Practical Demon stration of tho Manner in Which Coal Is Mined They Also Paid a Visit to Somo Othor Institutions of the City and Saw tho BeautWs of Lako Boranton Much Pleased with Their Visit Horo and the Reception Acoordad to Them. Tho members of tho Michigan and Indiana Retail Coal association ar rived in town Wednesday afternoon and everywhere on tho streets could be seen men wearing the purple souvenir badge of tho association. The mem bers had a busy day and all expressed themselves as having enjoyed them selves Immensely. In the morning a party of fifty, un der the guidance of Rceso O. Brooks and Superintendent K. 15. Loomls, of tho Lackawanna's coal department, were taken by a special train to the Bellevue mines and mhown through that colliery from top to bottom. This mine was selected as It Is the best equipped of any In this part of the val ley, being lighted with electrlo lights and having cars moved by electricity. It was the first time that the ma jority of the members had ever seen a cool mine, let alone visiting one. To these tho trip proved of great Instruc tion. "I've been handling coal for over twenty years," said one, "but I had only a very vague Idea of tho manner In which It Is mined. I cer tainly shall derive great benefit from this trip." SEEING THE SIGHTS. While this party was Inspecting the Illevue mine, another, composed of about twenty-live members, was being shown through the Penrsylvanla com pany's mines In Dunmoro by Thomas II. Dale. Secretary Atherton, of tho board of trade. In tho meantime was taking the ladles of the party for a carriage ride around Lake Scranton. They all expressed themselves as be ing delighted with the natural beauty of tho scenery. The ladles went through the Manvlllo mine In Green Ridge In tho afternoon. Aftr dinner, Secretary Atherton took the entire party In charge and escorted them through the Interna tional Correspondence Schools on Wyo ming avenue, nnd later through the board of tiade building. In the even ing some of the members went through the silk mills and others visited tho steel mills. The one particular thing that lm prcssoil the larger part of the visitors. ho had never been east before, was the size and progrosslveness of the city. One member, -when hp came out of the Lackawanna station on Wed nesday night, pxclalmed: "My heav ens, they ve got electric street cars here!" Secretary .Atherton heard of this yesterday, and looking the man up, told him that Scranton not only has electric street cars now but It had them before any other city In the United States, east of the Mississippi, whereat tho member wondered and said nothing. DELIGHTED WITH TRIP. Secretary Eaman, of the association, when seen last night by a Tribuno man, said that tho membeis weie de lighted with their reception and that this year's trip was the most enjoy able ever hold. He dilated at length upon the purposes of tho association, which h" said was formed f jr the pjr pose of piotectlng tho retail coal deal ers. "We have some men hero today," said he, "who three years ago wouldn't speak to one another. They're nw tho best of friend?, all becatue they are members of this organization, which peeks to protect all." The visitors left the city last night at 12.05 on two special sleepers attach ed to the 12.05 train. Thty will be en tertained today In Buffalo by the Le hlgh Valley Railroad company.
