THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1900. 8 P LIVE NEWS OF THE ' INDUSTRIAL WORLD NO GREAT STIR CAUSED BY CONTEMPLATED STRIKE. Has Not Affected the Buying of Coal to Any Great Extent Make Up of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Board for Today Im mense Engine That Has Been Built for Carnegie An Addition to the Nut find Bolt Works Is Be ing Constructed Other Notes. In the review of the coal business the Coal Trade Journal for this week Bays: "In the buying and selling of anthra cite there Is not the Kreat stir which some persons anticipated would come about at this time. We fancy that there is a general fair stock on hand, and that the average householder li inclined to regard the story of possi ble labor troubles as a mere effort on the part of the producer to boost up prices. While there is a fair supply of coal above ground, a month's Idle ness would put up prices of nnythlng in the hands of dealers, and therefore the consumer would have to contrib ute handsomely for the benefit of those engaged In the particular operation of mining nnd preparing anthracite co.il for market. "There Is much Interest In the possi bility of a strike among anthracite miners. The opinions of both men and employers are as varied as may well be imagined. It is as nothing that nntri ncltntois stir the men with clev erly chosen words, or that thousands walk In a parade on a holiday; but when those who have been thought pitlstled with the existing condition of affairs, as the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western men, demand an Increas ed rate of pay, then the situation Is full of vitality. The demands made at the Ilazleton convention ate now In the hands of the producers, but the national executive board must say If a strike shall be ordered if these de mands ar? not acceded to. Then, and not until then, will nnythlng definite be made known. To our wny of think ing there Is so varied a condition of mining In the several nnthraclte reg ions that It is impracticable for one rate to govern the whole. It Is unfair to ask It and unfair to order a strike of the whole under these circum stances." At the Bolt and Nut Works. A sixty-four-foot addition is being made to the forging room of the Scran ton Bolt and Nut works to accommo date new bolt and nut machines. The business has been steadily crowing and now It is necessary to enlarge the plant to keep up with orders. Ever since the works were started, January 1 of this year, the mills have been running night and day, and the bolt and nut department has been making full time every day. The works now employ 325 hands. With the ad dition of the new machinery, fifteen more men will be given work. Track spikes are to be manufactured on a large scale when the new addition is completed. The company ships Its product all over the United States and has done work for Cuba, Porto Itlco, Mexico and South America. A large order of track spikes Is now being filled for Havana. The Largest Locomotive. Andrew Carnegie Is king of the situ ation among locomotive owners. A Pittsburg firm has built for him a big engine, which with the tender weighs thirteen tons more than the largest locomotive ever built before and ex ceeds all others In boiler capacity by t.00 gallons. The total weight, fully equipped and ready for a trip, Is 331, 400 pounds. Its boiler capacity is 7, r,00 gallons. Exclusive of the tender the engine weighs 250,300 pounds. The weight on the drive wheels is 225,200 pounds. Its steam pressure Is 220 pounds. Its heating surface Is 3,564 square feet. In all of these points it challenges all competitors. These engines are not built for great speed records, but for power. The part of the Carnegie railroad on which they are being used includes what Is known as the "Hogback," one of the biggest grades over which trains of ore are hauled In this country. The most pow eiful machinery Is necessary to carry heavy trains from Conneaut Harbor to Albion. With a helper, one of the new en gines can make the grade, hauling from thirty-five to forty cars. The cars used will hold In the neighborhood of 100,000 pounds (fifty tons each). Railroad officials compute the rec ords of engines In what they style units. The new engines were started up the grades first with 250 units. Next they carried 290 units over the same grade without any assistance from a helper engine. The record which these officials hope to see made Is 300 units. It is not likely that any engine will over be made that will carry a gi cuter load up the "Hog back." D., L. & W. Board for Today.

The regular monthly meeting of the directors of the Southern Pacific will be held Thursday, but nn officer of the company suys that no action looking to the election of a president to suc eeeJ Mr. Huntingdon Is likely to be taken then or for some time. The Chicago and Alton management has given notice that the company will present one new uniform each year to each empUye who obeys the rules strictly nnd who has held the same position In the employ of the road con tinuously for five years. Two uniforms -one winter and one summer will be given annually to each employe who has been In the company's service ten years, holding one position continuously. New York renrcsentatlves of tt.e western railroads believe that the rail- road rate situation In the West will be materially strengthened by the forma tion of a trans-continental passenger association. Such an organization has been ngrecd upon by the general pas senger agents, who hnve Just beeen meeting at Glenwood Springs, Col., and the movement needs only the ap proval of the western presidents' meet ing In New York on September 18 to make It an assured fact. CAPTURE OF AN INSURGENT GENERAL Described by Captain Slviter in Letter from the Philippines, Where He Is Now Serving. Captain Francis PIcrpont Slviter, of the Forty-first Volunteer Infantry, has written to friends in Pittsburg nbout General Hizon, one of the most dar ing of the Philippine Insurgent com manders. Captain Slviter la well known In this city and about two years ago was for some time In chaige of a recruiting office here. At that time he was a lieutenant In the regu lar army, but since has been promoted to be captain of volunteers. His let ter follows: There nas been a little pxcitement hero at Mexico the past few days. Lieutenant Johnson, with four mounted men (on priatc ponies) was out on a map-making trip In our territory. When entering San Jose dc Molina, one of the barrios Mexico, lie caw a man mount a pony and hastily leac, his actions being suspicious. The lieutenant give chase. The man increased his pace, and led the lieutenant and his men for over a mile along a winding, little used road, across piddy fields and through bamboo tiuckcts. Several shois were fired at him by our men, who fired without dismounting, but without effect. Finally the fugitive's horse turned suddenly in a ravine and threw its rider, which gave the pursuers opportunity to reach him. They found him hiding in the bushes in the ravine, invate Wheeler levelled his rifle at him, when the man threw up his hands and surrendered. Lieutenant Johnson thought he was General Hiion from his resemblance to a photograph of that officer, which I had procured and posted in our guard use, with instructions to all my men to look out for him. The lieutenant asked him in Spanish "Coma esta usted, general?" (How are joti, general!) and the man ac knowledged that he was General Maximo Hizon, whom we had been looking for for three months. His relatives all live here, his former home, and lie has committed a number of acts which military law does not countenance, depending for protection from arrest and punishment upon ids numerous relations. ..en his horse threw him the general's ankle was sprained and his wrist broken by the fall. His captor brought him to the post and we put him to bed in my room and sent for a doctor to set his wrist and ankle. As soon as the natives discovered who it was that had been captured his numerous relatives came clamor ins to sec him. He had been hiding in the mountains, and they said they had not seen him In that time. Some of them had 6een him more recently, however, for I learned from con fidentnl sources that he occasionally came home in disguise. 1 permitted a good many to see him, but al wavs had in my room tin trusty Maccabccb, Gregario, to rrport any conversation that might he of military importance, but there was none. The generals wife and brand new baby boy came to sec him. The baby boy was born six weeks ago, and the general had never seen It. It was qmle inteiesting to witness the first meeting uetween the two. On the night of June 12 the Insurgents made an attempt to rescue their general. About mid night there began a popping that sounded like a Tourth of July fire cracker celebration, and bullets came t.Tfiigh the men's barracks and tiie officers' quarters. Several bharpshooters re plied at once from the barrack windows, firing at the Hashes which were about three hundred jards away. The rest of the company fell in at their appointed plaees. On discovering the direction of the enemy I sent out two squads, keeping the rest of the men to frustrate any attempt to rescue the general from any other direction. Hut the enemy did not wait for the squads to get within Btriking distance, but broke and fled in as many directions as there were mn, disappearing in a twinkling in the numerous thickets and cane fields, where pursuit at night is ' less. WOUNDED AT TIEN TSIN. Charles Miller, of This City, Partici pated in the Battle.
