MITCHELL SATISFIED
WITH THE SITUATION
The Susquehanna Conl Company's
Colliery No. "5, at Nantlcoke,
Closed, All Firemen Refusing to Go
to Work In Consequence! Nanti
coko Is Suffering from a Water Fa
mineThe Company Will Allow
the Mine to Fill with. Water and Let
the Town Get Its Water Supply
as Best It Can.
By Exclusive Wire from 'i'hc Asocl.itrd I'rrss.
Wllkes-Bnrrc, Pa., June 4. More en
gineers, flroinen and pumpmen obeyed
the call of the miners' union and struck
today, but in most instances the coal
company nlllcluls were able to 1111 the
pluees of the strikers. The Susquehan
na Coal company's colliery No. 5, at
Nantlcoke, was the worst sufferer, all
the firemen refusing to go to work,
which compelled tht company to shut
clown tht; engines. This colliery fur
nishes the power for the water supply
of Nantlcoke, and unless the engines
lire again started the borough will have
a water famine to contend with. There
Was a slight fire in the town today, and
as the llrm alarm Is sounded by means
of the colliery whistle there was consid
erable trouble and delay before the vol
unteer liremen could be called to, the
scene of the lire. The company, it is
faid, will allow its mines to nil with
water and let the borough get Its water
supply as best It can.
It was u comparatively quiet day In
the' Wyoming Valley. There was the
usual gathering of crowds at several
collieries at starting and stopping time,
but nothing of a serious nature oc
curred. Some, men .were stoned on their
way to and from work and several were
thrown Into pools of water. The fear
of bodily harm Is causing more men to
quit work than arc the arguments of
the strikers.
President Mitchell was kept busy all
clay In his headquarters. He had noth
ing to say regarding his visit to Scran
ton last night, where ho met Wank l
Sargent, chief of the locomotive fire
men. Regarding the general strike sit
uation, he said everything was pro
gressing satisfactorily; that more men
were coming out each day and that the
Idle men are behaving themselves well.
In emphasizing the latter statement,
Mr. Mitchell said the chief of the
Wllkcs-Barre police told him that dur
ing the twenty-one days the strike has
been on, there have been fewer arrests
than during the same number of days
prior to the suspension of work. Among
the arrests that, were made not one
was a miner. The national president
had no comment to make when in
formed that the New York board of
trade had decided to ask President
lloosevelt to take up the task of trying
to end the great struggle.
Water in the Schuylkill Mines.
Wilkes-Burre, June 4. The Asso
ciated Press correspondent was In
formed today by a mining official who
lias positive Information on the situa
tion that most of the mines in the
Bcliuylkill region are accumulating
water. The Heading company's col
lieries located in that region are the
chief sufferers. The collieries of the
Lehigh Valley company and Individual
companies In the same territory are
also slowly filling. In the tlussleton,
Wllkes-Burre and Seranton districts,
tho conditions are not so bad, only a
mine hero and there showing high
water.
The Susquehanna Coal company, at
Nantlcoke, south of here, which has
been successful heretofore In holding
Its men, Is reported to huve lost all Us
firemen. Their places were filled by
other men whom tho company hud for
such an emergency.
There was to have been what the
miners cull a "scab serenade" at
Miner's Mills, a small settlement near
this city,' tonight, but It was called off
by orders, It Is said, from strike head
quarters. The strikers had planned to
hold a big torclillght procession and
parade through tho town, stopping tit
the home of each workmun who re
fused to quit work and serenading him
and his family with funeral airs, led
liy u life and drum corps. It was
feared that some disorder might occur,
and two district olllclals went to tho
town this afternoon and persuaded the
local leaders to euncel the affair. Mr.
Mitchell denied that he had ordered it
stopped, saying that he only knew of
the affair through the newspapers and
that he took no action In tho matter,

pcnceublo attitude of the men.
Sheriff Jacobs Beady to Act.
Hnzlcton, June 4. Sheriff Albert
Jacobs, of Luzerne county, whose home
Is In this city, said to-day:
"1, have received letters from most of
the coal companies In tho county noti
fying mo that If there Is any trouble at
their collerlcs they will demand protec
tion. They say that their mines arc In
danger of being-flooded by reason of
the strike of the firemen and ptttnp
runners. The pumps they tell me, must
be kept In operation and they have ask
ed that I protect their men from vio
lence In this work.
"So far as I can learn there has been
no trouble anywhere thus tar and tnc
appointment of deputies at large has
not been found necessary. I have sta
tioned a deputy at each colliery in the
Huzletoit district. All the power these
men have Is to read tho riot act to any
disturbing crowds that may gather at
the mines. Our headquarters arc In
the Wllkes-Rarrc district and the office
Is in condition to act promptly in case
of any emergency."
Marching Begins.
Hnzlcton, June 4. One thousand men
tonight started from McAdn'o on the
first stage of a march to Philadelphia
with two non-union men who arrived
In the former town tonight and were
captured by the strikers. At Silver
brook, two miles south of here, the men
will be turned over to another body of
miners, who will proceed with them to
Tamaqua, where they will be taken in
charge by a delegation of Panther
Creek valley miners who will march
them towards their destination.

THE CANAL PROJECT.
The Subject of Discussion in
the
Senate Yesterday.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, Juno 4. Discussion of
tho project of constructing an Isth
mian canal was begun by tho senate
today. Mr. Morgan, of Alabama,
chairman of the committee on Inter
oceanlc canals, opened the debate,
speaking nearly three hours. A con
siderable portion of his speech was
devoted to an examination of the re
cently suggested danger to tho Nlcara
gue canal route of selsmlo disturbances.
This danger, ho concluded, after a care
ful review of many authorities, ex

who desired to defeat any canal project.
Ills study of the situation hud con
vinced him that really there was
greater danger from volcanic and
earthquake disturbances to the Pana

but he was satisfied that littlo danger
to either was to be anticipated.

LIVELY DAY
AT CHICAGO
Meat Delivery Wagon Drivers
Assaulted and Injured.
Battle with Mobs.
By Inclusive Wiie from The Associated Pro.
Chicago, Juno 4. Driven by men cov
ered with dust and blood, many of
them barely able front exhaustion to
hold tho reins in their hands, thirty
six meat wagons entered the main gate
of tho Union Stock Yards tonight, amid
a shower of stones, bricks, bottles and
sticks. The wagons, guarded by five
police wagons, filled with blue coats
and two omnibuses, crowded to the full
est capacity with policemen, were on
their return from a delivery of supplies
to down town provision houses, nfter
one of the fiercest days In tho strike
of the beef packers teamsters. Many
of tho drivers who are olllclals at the
packing houses, were cut and bruised
from head to foot. The police were In
even worse condition. The wagon driv
ers had been working from E o'clock in
the morning and their progress from
the stock yards Into the city's business
district and back again had been con
tested bitterly by mobs of strike sym
pathizers. At the very entrance of the
stock yards tonight, after all seeming
ly danger had passed,-George June, an
employe of the Anglo-American Pack
ing company, was struck by a baseball
bat and knocked from his wagon seat.
He was picked up in an unconscious
condition, and, it Is believed, ho may
die. Many others were struck at the
same time by a shower of stones, but
the police were too worn out to offer
resistance.
More than a dozen battles were
fought during tho day, between the
rioters and the police and the hospitals
tonight are overcrowded with the in
jured. The fiercest battle of tho day
took place this evening at Sixteenth
street and Michigan avenue. The riot
ers stood on the viaduct nhd hurled
rocks at tho meat wagons passing un
derneath. The thn .ig was the most
formidable In numbers and In daring
of any of the crowds that gathered dur
ing the day. Before this mob could
be dispersed, the police were compelled
to use revolvers.
More than fifty shots were fired, the
bullets passing over tho heads of tho
crowd, which finally became frightened
and scattered, but not until many ot
tho rioters and policemen had suffered
serious injuries.
A conference was held tonight be
tween representatives of the packers
and the teamsters looking to a settle
ment of the strike, President Frederick
W. Job, chairman of the state board of
arbitration, brought about the meeting.
A settlement of the strike of the drivers
of delivery wagons of the retail depart
ment stores early In tho day formed
the basis of what the opposing elements
hoped to effect a compromise.
Just before midnight tho conference
was still In session and no definite re
sult hud been reached,

markable for its laak of discord, can

being chosen by acclamation.
The platform ,as read by Chairman
Shlvcly, of the committee on resolu
tios, Is, In part, as follows:
The Resolutions.
We, the delegates of tho Democratic
parly, of the stato of Indiana, in conven
tion assembled, do hereby adopt the to
lowing declaration of principles and ap
peal to our fellow citizens who agree with
these principles, to co-openito with us in
tho coining campaign.
AVo denounce the Republican party for
its surrender to and alliance with tho
trusts, and wo favor such legislation us
will suppress and destroy all trusts or
combinations to control tho production
and the price of commodities.
Wo denounce tho Dingley tariff law
ns the bleeder of trusts and demand that
tariff duties shall bo lovlcd for the pur
poses of revenue only and limited by tho
needs, of tho government honestly and
economically administered.
Wo condemn tho Republican party for
refusing to give the inter-state commerce
commission power to enforce Its directions
against discriminations In railroad rates,
which discriminations have been a potent
cause of the creation and maintenance of
trusts and wo demand that the commis
sion bo given power to suppress this evil.
Continuing the platform favors the
restoration and expansion of our mer
chant marine and to this end demands
tho reformation of our navigation and
tariff laws, denounces the ship subsidy
bill "recently passed by the United
States senate, with the assistance of
Senators from Indiana as an inlqultious
appropriation of public funds for pri
vate purposes and a wasteful, Illogical
and useless attempt to overcome by
subsidy the obstructions raised by Re
publican legislation to the growth and
development of American commerce on
the sens;" opposes the Fowler bank
bill; proposed bank concentration and
the formation of a great banking trust;
recognizes ns an economic fact the in
crease of standard money arising from
the vast Increased production of gold
from our own und foreign mines, as a
demonstration of tho truth of the quan
ta tlvo theory of the money; condemns
and denounces the Philippine theory of
the present administration, "it has
embroiled the Republic In an unneces
sary wur, sacrificed tho lives of mntty
of Its noblest sons nnd place the United
States, previously known nnd applaud
ed throughout the world as the cham
pion of freedom In the false and un
American position of crushing with mil
itary force tho efforts of our former
allies to uehleve liberty and self gov
ernment. The Filipinos cannot be
citizens without endangering tho civil
ization; they cannot be subjects
without Imperiling our form of govern
ment, and a-s we were not willing to
surrender our civilization to convert
the Republic Into nit empire, we favor
an Immediate declaration of the na
tion's purpose to assist the Filipinos to
establish for themselves an Independ
ent government, protecting them from
outside Interference and returning to
this country such commercial and naval
rights and advantages as would be Just
and fully and fairly protect American
Interests.
"We hold In reverence the valor, pat
riotism and services of the soldiers and
salloi-B of tho Republic."
The platform further congratulates
the Hepublle of Cuba upon Its entering
Into the family of tuitions and deplores
the cruel nnd wanton destructions of
republics ,ln South Afrlcu; favors the
construction and control of the Isth
mian canal; favors tho ejection of

to find tin abiding place In this coun
try; endorses tho course of Democrat

ing for economy In public expenditures
for just principles of government and
for tho doctrines of the Democratic
party.
Tho platform ends by condemning the
governor of Indiana "for his Violation
of the constitution and the laws of tho
United States and tho stute ot Indiana
In his refusal to honor the requisition ot
tho governor ot Kentucky regularly
made upon returned Indictments for

REP0RT0F
HEILPRIN
Important Points Regarding
Mont Pelee Settled by the
Daring Scientist.
Py Exclusive Wire from The Aytoclatcil Press,
Fort do France, Island of Martinique,
June 4, 8 a. m. Prof. Angelo Heilprln,
president of tho Philadelphia Geogra
phical society, came Into Fort de
Franco last night from his explora
tions of tho crater on tho summit of
Mont Pelee. Prof. Heilprln is well and
In good spirits. He has rested from
the fatigues of his last trip, and is
ready for more work.
The following important points have
been settled by Prof. Heilprln:
Tho location of the new crater has
been accurately determined; it is posi
tively known that there has been no
overflow of molten matter from the lip
of the crater; there has been no sub
sidence of tho mountain and the height
of Mont Pelee is unchanged; the crater
does not contain a cinder cone; there
has been no catacylsm and no topo
graphical alteration of the country. The
period of violent eruptions has prob?
ably ended, although the volcano may
continue to be quietly active for a long
time to come.
Referring to his expedition, Prof.
Heilprln said to tho correspondent of
the Associated Press:
"I left Fort de France with Mr.
Leadbetter the morning of May 29 and
reached Acler tho evening of May 30.
We left Acler at 5.30 on the 31st and
Vive at 7.30 in the morning. The party
consisted of Mr. Leadbetter and my
self and three colored boys. We were
on mule back. At an altitude of 700
metres we began the ascent of the
arete. Wo passed along its cast side
and slightly to the north of the moun
tain. We arrived at the lip of the old
crater, the former site of Lake Pal
miste, at 11 o'clock. Here it began
raining. Italn clouds and the clouds
from the volcano enveloped us and we
could not see ten feet. A terrific thun
derstorm had begun, and we .sat on
the edge of the crater for some time,
speculating whether the detonations
we heard were of thunder or from
the volcano. As we afterwards found
the river Fallalse to 'be boiling, the
detonations were probably volcanic.
"The extreme top of the volcano Is
covered with cinders, scoriae, bowlders
and angular rocks, which 'had been
ejected front the crater. Further down
the mountain Is covered with ushes'and
mud, and these are thick on the arete.
On our way down ot Acler we met Mr.
George Kennan and his party and de
termined to attempt a second attempt
the next day June 1. The day was In
tensely hot nnd It was raining. When
we reached the old crater, It was again
enveloped in vapor. Between lifts In
the clouds of vapor wo could see the
new crater, of which Mr. Vnrlan mndo
an excellent sketch. Suddenly the vapor
cleared away and we made a dash for
ward. We reached the edge of tho new
crater and from where we stood wo
could have dropped stones Into the
white mass within.
"As we stood on the edge of the cra
ter a sublime spectacle began. I now
have some conception of what Is go
ing on inside tho earth, and have been
a spectator of nature's secret Interior
work. We were assailed with noise.
Fur below there was a hissing of steam
like that of a thousand locomotives, ns
well as violent detonations. Tho prin
cipal output of the critter, while wo
were there was steam. The phenomena
were limited and were not essentially
different from those of other volcanoes
In action. The eruption of Mont Pelee
of May 8 was unique In that It result
ed In the greatest destruction of life
and property over known by direct
agency of a volcano. The phenomenon
of the eploslou of (laming gases is prob
ubly new, but it careful study of obser
vations Is necessary before an opinion
can be reached. The electrical phen
omena are ulso new. They probably
did not play the chief role In the de
struction of St. Pierre, but were devel
oped by and aided the other forces,"

Dy Kxetiulvc Wire from The Associated Press.
San Francisco, June 4. A dispatch
from Tucson, Ariz., says that the up

REWARDS FOR
GENERAL KITCHENER
King Edward Suggests That the
Hero of South African Wars Be
Granted 50,000.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Tress.
London, June 4. In the house of
commons today, the government leader,
A. J. Balfour, , presented a message
from King Edward, as follows:
"Ills majesty, taking into considera
tion the eminent services rendered by
Lord Kitchener, and being desirous in
recognition of such services to confer
on 'him some signal mark of his favor,
recommends that he, tho king, should
be enabled to grant Lord Kitchener
50,000."
John Dillon. William Redmond nnd
Swift MacNelll, Irish Nationalists, an
nounced their Intention of opposing tho
grant at every stage.
A resolution giving effect to his ma
jesty's message will be discussed to
morrow. It was announced this after
noon that Generul Kitchener had been
created a viscount by King Edward.
The fact that the Kitchener grant Is
only 50,000 has already created dis
cussion in the parliamentary lobbies,
and some regret has been expressed
that it was not equal to the award
made to Lord Roberts (100,000). It is
known, however, that during the con
tinuance of the war, the question of
granting Lord Kitchener 100,000 was
seriously discussed by tho authorities,
but the smaller amount wus decided
upon on the ground of Lord Kitchener's
lesser rank, coupled with the faet thut
he received 30,000 at the close of the
Soudan campaign and Is still a com
paratively young, unmarried man and
at the height of his military career,
while Lord Roberts Is old, has a fam
llv, and Is not likely to have a further
chance to distinguish himself.

Chicago, Juno 4, "They win a great
victory," said W. Bourko Cockran,
when asked last night what he thought
of the Boers' surrender.
"They were paid to surrender," ho
continued, "and the terms, In my opin
ion, give them practically all the inde
pendence they want. When you stop to
consider that the Boers were fighting
the two most powerful nutloiiB on earth,
ISnglund and the United States, and
were able to hold out so long, then get
3,000,000 as well as their practical in
dependence. I certainly regard the out
come as much more of a victory for
them than for tho Kngllsh government.
It simply shows the power of justice."
Mr. Cockran declared that he was
out of politics, and consequently took
no Interest In the Tammany light.

By Exclusive Wire from.Thd Aesocltted Ttttn.
Pretoria, Juno .4: The departure of
the Boer-c6mmandeir6mVcreonlglngr
for their various districts was marked
by remarkable scenes of fraternization.
The trains conveying the Boers started
late and the night being extremely
cold, the sentries along the, railroad
track lighted huge bonfires, round
which groups of Boers and Britons
gathered, forming a highly picturesque
scene. The late opponents joined In
such songs as "Hard Times Come
Again No More," and "Old Folks at
Home," the British soldiers and tho
Boers outvleing one another in their
demonstrations of joy. In brief the
scenes at the departure ot the trains
resembled nothing so much as the
starting of huge picnic parties. "
The same signs of rejoicing were
witnessed throughout the rand. Flags""
were displayed everywhere and thanks
giving services were held in all towns.
Generals Botha and Delarey and oth
er Boer leaders will. start for Europe
shortly for the purpose of raising
funds for the distressed burghers.
Generu'l Schalk-Burger who was act
ing president of the-Transvaal, Joined
General Botha In addressing an open
letter to the burghers. After referring
to the courage which they had dis
played and to their brave deeds In the
field, he called on them to work togeth
er for the social and spirituul advance
ment of tho country.
General Botha remarked, relative to
the termination of the war:
"It is the happiest day of my life
since I left school."
The Boers do not anticipate the least
difficulty In bringing in the various
commandoes. The work ot returning
the men to their wives, children and
farms will, however, be heavy and dif
ficult. It Is Impossible to send them
straight to the veldt. It Is absolutely
necessary at this time of the year to
have wurm shelter and wooden huts
have already been ordered from the
coast towns to be delivered In sections
to each family. Those who are unable
to return to their former avocations
will bo temporarily supported by tho
government.
The question of restocking tho farms
Is also under consideration. The main
difficulty is to find wheat and cattle
likely to thrive. No great difficulty Is
experienced In regard to horses as the
government Is able to dispose of great
numbers ot re-mounts.
