By Exclusive Wire from The Associated l're.'s. Philadelphia, Sept. ".The anthracite mine workers' strike enters upon its eighteenth week tomorrow, with the lines between the operator and miner drawn almost as tightly as when the suspension was inaugurated on May 12. Rumors are current and, in ract, state ments have been made by prominent men both in and out of the coal trade, that the strike will be ended this month. President Mitchell, of the union, maintains he knows nothing of a pos sible early ending of the trouble, and says he knows nothing of any negotia tions on foot looking to that end. Last week more coal left the mining region than In nny previous week since the strike begun. Statements have been made by the mining officials that the shipments for the last six working days aggregated 100,000 tons. The nor mal weekly output Is a little more than 1,000,000 tons. The strikers and their officials dispute the claim of the min ing supeiintenden'ts'and maintain that most of the coal now going to market Is "washed" from the great culm piles, and the remainder Is the coal that had been blasted before the strike began, or which fell through the breaking of rotten timbering during the Idleness. All tho fuel that Is leaving the coal fields Is not reaching the markets. A considerable quantity is being taken by the railroads for their own uses. Cool is being cut in some of tho mines, but as far as can be learned much of It is being done by "bosses," who nre experienced miners. The coal companies say they have long lists of names of men who are ready to return to work, but are unwilling to take tho chance because they fear violence. With the coming of cooler weather, the companies look for a brenk, believing that the relief now coming to tho mine workers will not hold out long and that they will he compelled to return to pre pare for the winter, which is usually a rigorous one in tho mountain regions. Company ollleluls do not look for a rapid decline In the price of coal after the strike Is over, because the demand will bo greater than the supply. It is estimated that not more than 75 per cent, of the mines will bo In condition for Immediate operation when the strike Is ended, m Will Solicit for the Strikers.

In uddltlon to the arc lights already there, thirty new ones have been placed upon the grounds, so disposed about the circle as to Illuminate It brilliantly. The teiits for the Sons of Veterans are just outside of the ellipse, and quarters provided for 1,000 members of the organization, who will be fully uni formed and equipped, and who will furnish the garrison for Camp Roose velt. Colonel Israel W. Stone, who Is vice chairman of tho committee on reunions and chairman of the subcommittee on guards nnd escorts, will have this sec tion under his supervision, nnd the Sons of Veterans will be under the commmand of the ranking officer.

Tho endeavor will be made by all corps chairmen to get prohilnent speakers for the reunions, but there has been a sad diminution In the rankc of the noted men of the corps, and many of the organizations will be happy If they can have wltji them a di vision commander.

There It was discovered that the dead man bore a striking resemblance to the published pictures of the Chicago mur derer. The text of the confession left by the suicide as made public by Dr. T. S. Carpenter, coroner of Howard county, follows: To whom it may concern: I want to stuto I am the Bartholin the police are looking for. Also wish to cer tify I had no assistance of any kind from any one. Thompson, daffy and Counsel man are nil as Innocent ns an unborn child and should bo freed at once. I cannot go into details in regard to tho climes. They were pot planned. It was all Minnie and 1 could do. My mind Is wandering. Such a drop in life In a short time.

Chicago, Sept. 7. "The charges pre ferred by the police against Claffy, Thompson and Counsemun will bo heard by the next grand Jury, which convenes a week from Tuesday," said an attache of the state attorney's of fice today. "Tho confession of Bartho lin does not affect them. Tho fact that Bartholin killed three people, Including himself, will add no great weight to this piece of written testimony he left behind, There may be other strong evi dence Involving these three men. This evidence must be heard, therefore the accused must remain In Jail, In default of ball, unless releured on habeas cor pus, and I hardly believe that is pos sible," RUSSIA THREATENS PORTE.

The German gunboat Panther arrived here Sept. 5 and received instructions from the Ger man government to capture the Flr mlnlst gunboat Crete-a-Plerrot. She left Immediately for Gonalves, the seat of the Flrmlnist government. The Panther found the Crole-a-Plerrot In the harbor of Gonalves, and the com mander of -the German gunboat in formed Admiral Killlck, on the Crete-a-Plerrot, that Ho must remove hia crew and surrender his vessel in five minutes' time. Admiral Kluick asked that this time be extended to flftceen minutes. This request was granted, on the condition that the arms and am- munition on board the Cretc-a-Plcrrot should be abandoned when her crew left her. The crew of the Crete-a-Plerrot left that vessel amid great disorder. At the end of fifteen minutes, the Panther sent a small boat carrying an officer and twenty sailors, who were to take pos session of the Flrmlnlst gunboat. When these men had arrived at a point about thirty yards from the Crete-a-Plrrot, flames were seen to break out on board of her. Sho had been fired by her crew before they left her. The Pan ther then fired on the Crete-a-Pierrot until she was completely Immersed. Thirty shots, .all told, we're fired. There Is much feeling here against the Flrnilnlsts and their cause Is con sidered to be a bad one. Soldiers are leaving here to attack St. Marc. Port au Prince Is culm. Palis, Sept. 8. A brief cablegram ha? been received here from Cape Haytlen, Ilaytl, dated Sept. 7, saying the Flr mlnist gunboat Crete-a-Plerrot has been sunk by tho German gunboat Panther, and that the crew of tho Crete-a-Flerrot had been drowned. An Official Inquiry. -. Washington, Sept. 7. The destruction'"' of tho Crete-u-Pierrot doubtless will be made tho subject of an official report by United States Minister Powell, who is now at Port uu Prince. Pending the receipt of that report. In the opinion of tho olflclals who have kept In touch with affairs, there Is lijttlo likelihood of any action by the state department, nnd, indeed, Judging from the charac ter of the Instructions transmitted through the navy department to Com mander McCrea, of the Machals, there will be little disposition to question the justice of the treatment accorded Admiral Killlck. The United Staies naval officer was especially' instructed to prevent Interference with commerce, and In tho execution of those orders he was obliged to warn tho rebel admiral that ho must not search foreign ship ping or else tho Mnchals would use her force against him. The threat was effectual only so long ns the Mnchals remained In Haytlen waters, and ns soon as sho headed northward, Kil llck held up the German steamer, Murkomunnla and eeized her cargo of arms, While the state department hns not adopted the German view that Killlck was a pirate, it has, on the basis of its own Instructions to Commander Mc Crea, never admitted his right to in terfere with foreign shipping.
