BE President Nicholls Discusses the In dinnnpolig Convention and Botioves tho Strikers Aro Now in a Position to Fight for the Granting of All Their Demands Is Not in Favor of Wasting- Any Energy in nn Effort to Stop Soft Coal from Entering tho Anthracite Bogion. The big relief fund for the striking miners Is not to bo distributed pro rata, but according to the men's needs, says District President Nicholls, who re turned yesterday from the Indianapolis convention. The plan at present being followed In distributing relief will be continued, Mr. Nicholls says, This plan docs not' contemplate tho distribution of any money whatever. Instead, the relief committees df tho various locals will receive applications for assistance and meet these applications by furnishing what groceries and other supplies tho wants of the applicant and tho condi tion of tho fund muv warrant. Tho boards of the different districts will devise plans of their own for an plying tho fund. Tho board of this dis trict will have a meeting for this pur pose In the course of a few days. President Nicholls is satisfied that the fund will be amply sulllclent to com fortably support the strikers, and that It will be continued as long as the strike lasts, no matter If it was on a voa r. Some of the locals still have as much as $2,500 In their treasuries, Mr. Nli-h- olls nays, and, will not call for help from the general fund for some Mime. Every day sees additional miners securing temporary employment hcie or else where, and before many weeks a go"od Percentage of them will be self-qupport-Ing. Thousands of them have gone to other coal Holds and thousands of others were only deterred from follow ing them by the fear that the strike was to be made general.. Now, that it Is known there will be no strike in the soft coal regions and that the anthra cite strike and the opening of many new mines In Ohio and West Virginia Is making plenty of work there, tho younger men, and particularly the laborers, will go thither In large num bers. A DOUBLE GOOD. This, Mr. Nicholls explains, w ill effect a double good, because it will avoid t lie drain they would make on the relief fund and Increase the number of con tributors thereto. Tho fund, Mr. Nicholls points out, will not rely alone on the contributions levied by the Indianapolis convention. Local unions all through the bitumin ous regions have sent word that they will at onco make voluntary donations of goodly proportions from their tieas uries. One local in Illinois, which has $7,000 in its treasury, has already voted to give every cent of it to their anthra cite brethren. Trades unions all over the country will make donations from their treasuries, besides levying weekly contributions on their members. Con tributions will also come from Ling land, and as Ben Tillett has given as surance that tho British workmen will do tho handsome tiling, it can be taken for granted it will be handsome. Tho whole world of unionism realizes that this light must be won and proposes that It shall not be lost, If money can save the day. "There isn't a thing more to be de sired," enthusiastically declared Mr. Nicholls. "Our position is perfection Itself. The fight is as good as won. I can not now see any possibility of our losing. Our position is now so strong that I, for one, would not favpr settling the strike until every one of our de mands are granted. Before the Indian apolis convention it would have been possible for tho operators to settle the strike by granting 1,01410 of the de mands. I firmly believe now that we should hold out for everything wo have asked. Previously we would have been content with a victory. Now wo arc in a position to completely rout the enemy and I think wo ought to be satisfied with nothing short of that. Tho oper ators declared for a tight to a finish." UP TO THE OPEUATOnS. Regarding tho matter of preventing soft coal fiom being shipped into the anthracite region, Mr. Nicholls said he did not believe the miners should con cern themselves about this; that It was the anthracite operators who wore tho ones to be concerned. If solt coal comes here It will hurt the strikers.' eain-c. of course, .but It will hurt the operators mure, .ur. .-icnous contends. To liavo their competitors supplying their trade, and possibly capturing a good portion of It permanently, will have a tendency, he thought, to help bring tho operators to terms. Mr, Nicholls referred to a despatch from Indianapolis quoting him as being m nivor or a general strike and denied that ho had ever made such a declara tion. "I was never in favor of ,-i gen eral strike,'- said he, "and was pre pared to light It with all my strength on tho Hour of the convention. The sentiment of the anthracite miners was against a general strike, in fact there was hardly any sentiment whatever In favor of the proposition. The thing was uovcr seilously considered." Efforts aro being mado by the strike leaders to prevent the opening up of the Oxford colliery of the People's Coal company. Pickets aro posted at tho various approaches to the stockndo gates and when a .workman comes along he Is held up and efforts made to persuade him to turn buck. Tho thlrty-llvo men who went to work at the Oxford, Monday, aro Italians. They aro being quartered nt the col llery. An Kalian organizer of tho United Mine Workers endeavored to communicate with them yestetduy, hut was unsuccessful. The Italian consular iigcnt, F, Tlscar, has beeti appealed to, by tho strike leaders, to uso his Inilu epco to prevent his countrymen from taking the btrlkers' places. BURGESS INTERFERED. Preparations aro under way to re sumo operations at the Ontailo ami Western company's Archbald washeiy, but Interfeicnee on the part of-the bor ough authorities niay cause tho com pany some unexpected delay, The water used at the washery is secured trom a drain currying a small natural stream thiough the town to tho liver, The borough built tho drain, and Burgess Burko asserts that tho com pany has no right to tako tho water without permission of tho borough fiu thoiitles. Until that permission Is se cured, tho burscss says ho will prevent me company from using tho water.

Lancers at Lake Lodore Entertain tho Man for Whom the Camp Was Named. Yesterday Bishop's day gave addi tional interest and pleasure to tho lancers In Camp Hobau, on Lake Lo dore's shores. The one whose name the camp bears Ut. Rev. Bishop Hoban was the guest of honor. He mis warmly wel comed and was received as one to MAJOR WALTER Jl'NICHOLLS, l-'list Regiment C. T. A. L". Lancers. whom .the soldiers felt they owed much. In realizing the project of this week of military life In tho beautiful rural spot which was their temporary home. The bishop was greeted, therefore, with the feeling that one would hold towards a benefactor. There was a noticeable response among the men during the day; they wore more active and alert in the drill movements and easily made the best showing of tho week. When Bishop Hoban, at the con clusion of the icview, delivered a kind message to the lancers, they glowed' with appreciation. A pleasant surprise In his talk was the announcement of his intention to present the regiment with a silk flag. After thfc bishop's departure, tho holi day spirit took hold of the men. Col onel Phillips, responding to tho tone of feeling, relaxed .somewhat and from 3 o'clock tho lanceis were away from the enmp and were scattered through the grove, enjoying various diversions. During most of tho afternoon, Colonel Phillips, Rev. J. V. Moylan, the chap lain, and Major McNlcholls were In terested spectators nt a closely con tested gaiuo of ball between "sides" of the lancers. Boating on tho lake ap pealed to a number, who enjoyed the dlveislon. nt. Rev. Bishop Hoban reached Lo dore about noon, Ho was accompanied by Rev. P. J. Mc-Maiius, of Green Ridge, and Rev. John J. Grifiln, chan cellor of the diocese. The whole regi ment, headed by Rowley's Regimental band, met the bishop at tho depot and led tho way to tho pavilion. Dinner, which was ready, was served and after a short social season, the bishop and the accompanying priests, together with Chaplain Moylan, Major McNlch olls and Adjutant Snee, embarked on the launch and hW a delightful ride around the wood-lined lake. The Inspection of camp by the bishop followed. Then came tho event of the day, tho battalion 'drill nnd dress parade, Tho pavilion, which is an ac ceptable substitute for the damp dilll ground, was the scene of the manoeu vres and tho review. The blshon Indi cated, by appioving nods and satisfied smiles at this or that execution, that ho was well pleased. Whatever there might bo lacking In this belief was sup plied when, after the drill, lib mado a brief talk, in which ho 'heartily con gratulated tho lancers, Colonel Phil lips and the other oiliccrs. He also ad dressed encouraging words to them, and told them of his Intention to pre sent tho roglmoht with a flag. At this juncture ho fegrotably took his leave to catch tho tniln for Scranton.

Local Eecrulting Station Does ; Bushing Business Wilkes-Barre Station Is Abandoned. A rushing business Is being done these days by the local recruiting ofllco of tho United. States army, and hardly n day passes that tho soldier boys In charge do not write a new name on their books. Scranton is now tho centre of the entire Northeastern Pennsylvania re cruiting division, of which Cnptuln Ed ward Lloyd, of the Fifteenth United States Infantry, is in charge. Last month twenty recruits were sent away by the local station, and every man was a resident of this city. Tiie July roster, however, shows a goodly per centage of Wilkcs-Baneans, who aro now learning the joys of a "rooky's" life. The enlisting bureau formerly had a station at Wilkes-Barre, but the vol ume of business there was so slender that It was closed, and Luzernltes who have military aspirations must now have them gratified through the Scran ton ofllcc. Tho ofllces at Hnzleton and Towanda have also been done. away with. Tho majority of infantry recruits sent away from hero go to Columbus, O., bar racks. Tims far In July, eight men I have enlisted, and a huge number of I others have signified their Intention of coming 111 lor examination uunng me latter part of tho month. William L. Kagan, of Forest City, was the first July recruit. He was as signed to the Twenty-third infantry, which is now stationed at the Platts burg, N. Y barracks. William Head ley of Wilkes-Barre. enlisted July 7, and was sent to the Columbus barracks. Ernest Brown, another Wllkes-Barre-an, enlisted the same day, and was afcslgned to the Eleventh battery of field artillery, located ut Fort Hamil ton, N Y. Hawiey A. Gould, of 702 Adams ave nue, enlisted July S, and was as'slgned to the same battery as Brown. John A. McHugh. of Peckvllle, enlisted July l.'i, and obtained a berth with the Coast artillery, at Port Slocum, N. Y. Ed ward J. Ituniic, of Wilkes-Uane, who underwent examination July IS, is now at the Columbus barracks. Martin Langan, a young man from Duryca, enlisted In tho cavalry July 1R, and was assigned to the Jefferson barracks, Miss. Joseph Keller, another WIlkes-Bauean, was the last man to enlist up to date. He' signed his name, July 21, and was assigned to the Coast artillery at Port Slocum. ONLY ONE DEATH. Smallpox Is Far from Being a Very Fatal Disease, According to Eci anion's Experience. That smallpox is far from being a very fatal disease Is shown by an ex amination of tho reports of Secretary Sweeney, of the bureau of health. The present epidemic broke out hi January of this year. Tliatinonth theio were six cases reported. February had five; March, none; April, 10; May, 16; June, 11, and July, thus far, 4. Out of a total of fifty cases only one deuth occurred, making tho percentage of deaths smaller than that for anv con tagious disease that bus prevailed dur ing the name period. The one death was that of tho Brace child, In West Scranton, mid the fatal termination of tho case was due In a measure to tho fact that its character was not early recognized. Tho disease Is still prevalent, but Is being gradually stamped out. The four cases reported this mouth are In the same community In North Scranton. The nine oatlcnts In tho emergency hospital aro all doing well and recovery Is confidently expected In each Instance. To the efllclent manner In which tho health authorities luivo coped with the disease Is attributable In some degree the small percentage of deaths, but tli primary explanation o tho small num ber of deaths Is found 'in thqf.nrt that smullpox is not a very fatal disease.
