Wllkcs-Mnrre. Ph., Oct. X. Unless
President .Mitchell's hurried visit to
Now York bears fruit, t lie enil nl' the
mine workers' strike seems :i long way
off. imil Hie prospect of sullielenl coal
being inineil to satisfy the public dc
lntind is extremely poor. Kvory local
union of the miners' organization
throughout the length anil' breadth of
the hard coal belt held special meet
ings, rlther last night or today, and
resolved to remain on stilke until the
mine oh tiers grunt them some conces
sions. And while the reports of these
meetings came pouring Into Wilkes
liarre by telegraph, train and messen
ger, President Alitehell dictated n letter
to the president of the t'niled .States,
in which lie pave his answer to the
proposition that the strikers return to
work and trust to have their condition
Improved through an lu ostlgnting
commission. What the answer of the
miners' chief was he refuses to divulge,
but It Is dillicult to conceive that with
the replies of the local unions piled
around him how he could do otherwise
than respectfully decline the president's
proposition. Mr. Mitchell sent his letter
to Washington belore he laid heard
from all the locals, and at I! o'clock In
the afternoon lie packed his grip, and,
accompanied by the three district presi
dents, left for New York. Mis mission
there ISj,also a secret, and his sudden
departure caused much speculation, As
New York Is the headquarters of the
coal operators, a rumor immediately
spread that a settlement was in pros
pect, but as Mr. Mitchell and Ids col
leagues would not say whom they e
poctcil to meet, all eyes are, for the
time being, turned toward the metropo
lis. President Roosevelt Praised.
It was a busy day for the miners,
especially the otllcials about headquar
ters. From early this morning until
late tonight the returns came In enn-sta-itly.
This evening the corps of
newspaper correspondents stationed
here were Invited to examine the re
ports, and not one was found that was
not couched In linn language Briefly
hinted, the resolutions in these reports
ulllrm the conlidence of the men In
the Integrity and judgment of their
piesldcnt. praise President Roosevelt
for his efforts to end the strike, de
nounce the presidents of the eoal
cnrrylng railroads for their alleged
abuse of the chief executive at the
conference In Washington, denounce
the employment of the coal and Iron
police, offer to assist tho authorities In
maintaining- peace, thank all organiza
tions and citizens throughout the coun
try for the flnuueial assistance given,
regret the presence of the troops, de
nounce lioveriior Stone for sending
them here, and some of the resolutions
say Hie men will keep away from tho
mines nil winter, "or until the blue
birds come again." Kxoeptlng those
from the Ilnaleton district, which were
all almost Identical in phraseology, the
resolutions adopted were different from
one another. Nearly every one, how
ever, contained a sentence to the ef
fect that the men are not afraid to
return to work because of tho alleged
lack of protection, but will remain out
"though all the troops in the 1'nlted
States were seal here," and until they
are granted some concessions.
Thi coal company otllcials have noth
ing to say, beyond the simple state
ment Hint they are awaiting develop
ments. There Is no Increase la the
shipment of coal, very little of which Is
being produced. The superintendents
of tho various companies In this valley
are extremely reticent on the question
of coal production, and will pot give
nut anything more than that they aro
mining some coal. No violence was re
ported today, and, In fact, very little
since the troops were stationed here,
Speculation us to whether the pres
ence of all the troops will Increase tho
coal production Is still being Indulged
In. The production since the Ninth
regiment )uis been hi this valley has
not increased, and If the resolutions
ndopted by the local unions today In
dicate anything, It Is not likely that
much eoal will bo shipped to market
for some time, notwithstanding the
presence of the entire Nutlonal Guard.

MITCHELL IN NEW YORK.
The President of Mine Workers
Visits the Hotel Where Senators
Quay and Penrose Aro.
n.v llM'luiiio Who from The Acmh l.itnl I'ir.".
New York, Oct, 8. President John
.Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers'
association, arrived at the Pennsylva
nia depot In Jersey City tonight, having
come on u Lehigh Valley train from
Wiikcs-liarrc, Pa. With him were Dis
trict Presidents Nlcholls, Fahy and
Duffy. They went immediately to the
Ashland house, this city.
Mr. Mitchell was asked if he had
come to hold a conference with the op
erators, but he declined to say. lie re
fused to answer all questions and to say
how long he would be In the city.
Air. Mitchell had the npprarnncc of
having been under severe mental and
physical strain, but assured questioners
that he was In good health, though
tired.
At 10 o'clock, Sir. Mitchell called up
Wllkos-Biirre by telephone, the reason
being that he had expected some tele
grams which he did not find awaiting
hiui. Shortly after this In; turned to
the newspaper men, and said:
"Information has been conveyed to
me by 'phone that n total of two hun
dred and fifty local unions have re
ported unanimous votes against re
suming work. The men are not de
terrml from going to work through
any fear of bodily harm, but arc re
solved to remain out until the differ
ences between them and the operators
are arbitrated, or until they are ordered
to return by their leaders.
"This leaves not more than forty or
fifty local unions to hear from yet. The
unanimous action includes the votes of
strikers not members of the union, but
who were present at the meetings and
voted with the union men."
At 11 o'clock President Mitchell and
two of the district presidents went
from the Ashland house to the Fifth
Avenue hotel, where Senators Quay and
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and Louis
N. Uaminerllng. of Wilkes-Harre, were
registered.
President Mitchell's conference with
Senators Quay and Penrose lasted for
an hour and three-quarters. At its con
clusion, Air. Mitchell returned to the
Ashland house. He declined to say a
word as to his talk with the senators,
and the latter left word with the clerk
at the Fifth Avenue hotel that they
would not see any one. Instructing the
clerk to refuse the cards or any persons
who might wish to Intervlei them.
NO CONFERENCE HELD.

Philadelphia, Oct. 8. The visit to this
city of the committee representing the
National Association of Manufacturers,
for the purpose of conferring with the
piesldents of the anthracite coal-carrying
roads who last week mat President
Uoosevelt and the otllcials of the
miners' union at Washington, appears
to have been fruitless. The committee
arrived here early this morning and
spent the greater part of the day at
the .Manufacturers' club awaiting the
appearance of Hut presidents, hut none
of the latter answered, In person at
least, tho request of the committee for
a conference. Tonight the comimtlce
Issued the following vague statement:
The committee Oi the National Asso.

After the member of the cominltteo
had breakfast they despatched a mes

of Hut Heading company announcing
that they were ready to meet the oper
ators. The nature of Mr, Haer's reply
Is not known, but in answer to a (pies

"I know nothing about a conunlttee."
lie declined to make any further
statement.
President Parry said invitations to
meet the committee had been sent to
all or the presidents who had met Presi
dent Uoosevelt Jast week and that fav
orable replies had been receive! from
three of them. He would not, however,
divulge their names.
During Hie afternoon, President
Parry, In an Interview said:
"The strike has reached what we now
believe. Is the crisis. Wo wore la hopes
of meeting tho operators today, but
owing to tho short not lea they received
they were unable to be present."
RESIGNATION RUMOR REVIVED
The Story That Mr. Baer Has Re
signed Cannot Be Confirmed.
Ily llrluhi Wire (nun Tlie Afnii.ilfil Pre".
Philadelphia, Oct. 8. A rumor was
current here tonight that Ueorge F.
liner, president of the Philadelphia
and Heading railroad, had submitted
his resignation to the board of direc
tor. Inquiry at Mr. Haer's house hero
elicited the Information that he had re
tired for the night, leaving strict In
junctions that he was not to be dis
turbed, Two members1 of the board of
directors, however, emphatically denied
the report. The Heading directors mot
today to consider the minimi report of
the company, and It was stated that no
other business was discussed.
The Impression prevails here that
United States Senators Quuy and Pen
lose are still endeavoring to effect a
settlment or the strlk". The two sena
tors went to New York late this nfter
noon, but declined to state the object
of their visit. The hasty departure of
President Mitchell, of the mine work
ers' union, from Wllkes-llnrre for New
York, and the fact Hint the senators
left here at about the same time, Is re
garded as significant.

Narrqwly Escaped Injury.
Special to tlie Scranton Tribune.
Iluncsdale Oct. 8. There was a good
card of racing at the Wayne county
fair yesterday. The day was Ideal for
the spectators, though It was rather
chilly for the speeding horses. The
attendance was large, which Indicates
that there will be larger crowds.
The track was in the host condition,
and as fast perhaps as could be hoped
for. The chief Interest was In the U.lifl

French was an easy winner, fairly
running away from tho Held. Lady

second heat, but It was short-lived.
The time was L'.Sl'i. tl.iil'i. l".li!t Vi - The
purse was 51 no.
An effort was made to debar French,
on the ground that he was out of h's
class, but It was not successful.
A Honesdale flyer took the $1.10 purse
In the 2.'1P class. It was Saxon, b. g.,
owned by .1. H. AIcDonough. This was
the lirst speeding of the roan, and his
showing aviis more than satisfactory to
his owner. Saxon had things his own
way through the three heats. The
time was good: i.iil-Ti. 2.:!4, 2.3HS.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
ITarrlsburg, Pa., Oct. S. Dauphin
county's main court room jusl comfort
ably held the Lackawanna delegation
that en mo to attend the heurlpg In the
wrangle over the Democratic nomina
tions. The first of the cases, those
growing out of the. rival county con
vention of September IB, was not called
until 4.1ft this afternoon. The examina
tion 'of the first witness was not com
pleted at fi o'clock, when adjournment
was made until tomorrow morning, and
the likelihood Is that the last or tho
witnesses will not be able to reach
home before Saturday.
Kx-Slierlfl' John J. Fahey and most

Where Located.
Martin P. Flynn and the other lead
ers of the Flynn faction are at the
Commonwealth, as aro also a number
of their witnesses, among them T. P.
Hoban, D. J. Ileedy, H. J. Alurray. E.
J. AlcMally and John .J.' Brown. Tho
bulk of the witnesses for the Flynn
side, some S.'O in number, are quartered
at the Lochlel, Grand, Ituss and other
hotels. They came on a special train
over the Lackawanna and Pennsylva
nia roads, leaving Scranton at 5 o'clock
this morning and arriving here at 10.30.
Their number Is made up mainly of
the Alelvin hall delegates and members
of the vigilance committees who signed
their credentials. Whether or not they
will all be called to testify Is as yet a
question. They are here to prove that
the Alelvin hall convention contained a
majority of the regularly elected dele
gates. Tonight, attorneys representing the
opposing sides are meeting with a view
of agreeing as far as they can on un
questionably legal delesates. Those
who aro thus agreed upon will be al
lowed to go home. The others will prob
ably have to stay till the finish.
Judges Slmonton and AVelss, who
have been holding both day and night
sessions this week to keep up with the
contest hearings, viewed none too com
placently the throng thai filed Into the
court room when the word was passed
that the Lackawanna, cases were about
to be reached. They made no audible
comment, but a close scrutinizing of
their countenances failed to disclose
anything bearing the semblance of a
delighted look.
Wouldn't Hear Them.
In tho 1'nlon party contest, where
there was another such tlood of wit
nesses present, the judges stated that
they wouldn't hear them, and compelled
tho attorneys to eliminate all but a
reasonable number by ngroelng to most
of the matters of fact. They may yet
do the same in this instance.
The Flynnltes arc represented by
Alajor Kverett Warren and P. W.
Stoltes, of Scranton, and Congressman
Al. K. Olmsted, of Harrlsburg. On the
F.ihey side the attorneys are C, C
Donovan, of Scranton; It, P. Snodsrass,
James A. Stranahan and Charles If.
Hi'fgner, of Harrlsburg.
Tho case was opened by .Mr, Stokes
receiving the exceptions Hied to the
.Music Hall nominations, This conven
tion was grossly li regular, he averred,
because it failed to make even a pre
tense of observing the rules or the
party governing Its conduct. The rules
provide that in tile absence of the
county chairman the secretary shall
call the convention to order, appoint
tellers and perform other necessary
duties. This was not done, There was
no roll cull at any time, prior to or
ganization, and consequently It was
not determined whether or not a ma
jority of delegates were present to per
fect organization. Permanent organ
ization was effected before the com
inltteo on contested seats inade Its re
port. Were Kept Out.
Hegularly elected delegates were for
cibly prevented by Sheriff Schadt and
his deputies, in a high-handed usurpa
tion of power, from entering the con
veutlon hall until after temporary or
ganization had been effected, and fi
nally, when the got In, they were re
fused recognition and denied a voice
111 tho proceedings. Fake contests were
Instituted and those whose seats weie
contested had absolutely no opportu
nity given them to make a defence.
Alleged yucuncles lu the list of dele
gates were tilled by the Illegal substl
tutlon of purlcst In no way eligible to
represent the alleged unrepresented dis
tricts, in uuc instance a man from
New York city being allowed to take
the scat uf a Carbondale delegate.
Finally, it was asserted by 5lr.
Stokes that out of thu Wl delegutcs
elected to the convetlon, not more than
TO participated In the purported Attlslc
Hull convention.
Alnjnr Warren then went on to ex
plnln how the Flynn people were com
pletely Ignored by the Faheyltes und
how, nftur a motion by one of the
Flyimltes to .substitute Flynn for
Fahey In the permanent organization
committee's recommendations had been
completely Ignored by pure, unadul
terated strength, the Flynnltes left the
hall, and Its howling mob, and pro
ceeded to 5lehin hall, with a nutporliy
of the delegates, to conduct an or
derly convention.
What Donovan Said.
Air. Donovan theu outlined the thso
of the Faheylles. lie began by saying
that instead of tho contest being be
tween two factions of the Democratic
party, as the other sldo would make It
appear. It was the Republican boss ot
Lackawanna against the Democratic
pary of Lackawanna. Since the adop
tion of the "ripper" bill, he went on
to say, the police force In Scranton ban
been somewhat active In politics. The
Democrats wanted no outside Inter
ference and In their .desires to hold
an orderly convention, took some ne
cessary stops to exclude outsiders from
tho convention hall until the delegates
were admitted and provided with seats.
Air. Donovan denied that delesntes
whose seats were contested were given
no opportunity of being hard.
It was announced rrom the platform
by t he chairman. Air". Donovan ex
plained that a man In tho crowd of
Flynnltes who was not a delegate and
who was pushed forward by a Repub
lican police ofllccr, made the matlon,
and nt that, not until after the report
of tho committee on permanent organ
ization had been unanimously adopted.
In concluding Air. Donovan said that
the leaders of the other side came to
realize that their crowd was regarded
by the whole assemblage as a lot of
"scabs" and "hoodlers." and amid the
hoots and jeers left the hall followed
by only a corporal's guard. Air. Berg
ncr, supplemented Air. Donovan's story
of the. day by stating that the Alelvin
hall convention was held six hours
after the time set for the convention
In the nfllcial call and that nt all
events tho Alelvin hall affair was by its
declarations a convention of the Inde
pendent Democratic party of Lncka
wana county and not the Democratic
party of Lackawanna county.
Melvin Hall Convention.
Major Warren remarked that It would
be shown that the Alelvin hall conven
tion regularly made Democratic party
nominations. The first witness called
was Attorney Thomas P. Hoban, who
was the Democratic county chairman
and whoso unavoidable absence from
the convention on account of a death
In his family made it possible for the.
Fahey-Schadt crew to pirate the con
vention machinery. In response to
questions by Alajor Warren, he gave
testimony conclusive showing that the
alleged "clever" strategy by which tho
convention organization was captured
was nothing more or less than forcible
entry and detainer.
The Faheylles. It will be recalled,
based their action In electing the con
vention ofllceis at Hotel Schadt the
night before the convention on an al
leged party rule, which authorized Hie
"Executive committee" to name a
temporary chairman ir the county
chairman Is not at hand to call the
convention to order. Air. Hoban testi
fied that there Is no such parly rule
and at Alajor Warren's request pro
duced a printed copy of the rules to
support his assertion. He furthermore
testified that there Is no such Institu
tion as nu executive committee and
no provision for one In the rules. A
year ago he said, the county commit
tee adopted a motion that the oflleers
of the committee comprise the executive
committee. Tho oflleers were himself,
vlce-Chairman Donovan, Secretary
Alahon and Treasurer Schadt, Joseph
O'Hrlen, F. J. Fltzslmmons and John
J. Fahey, three of the five men who
"authorized" the appointment of Fahey
as temporary chairman were not only
not members of the pseudo executive
committee of the 1H0I campaign, but not
even members of the county committee.
Written Notice Required.
Air. Hoban' attention was called to
a ruin requiring that written notice
of Intention to contest a delegate seat
must be given the county chairman
before 10 o'clock p. in. of the day p:e
cedlug the convention. Then, hi reply
to Alujor Warren's question, Air. Ho
ban admitted that while some hair a
doezn claimants had given hint oral no
tice of Intention to Institute contests,
not a single written notice was received
by hi in. Ho acknowledged the- oral
notice by writing tho name of the con
testant after tho name ot the delegate
he was contesting. Air. llobnn ex
plaliie1 that he left the enrollment list
with Secretary Alahon at his (Mohairs)
nlllce at 8.30 o'clock on the night be
fore the convention, and went to his
home. in Hie morning at 7,30 ho
waited on 5lr. Alahon and regained
possession ot the list. It then con
tallied cheek marks and Insertions, In
dicating twenty-six contests.
At this Juncture, court adjourned un
til tomorrow morning at '.".30 o'clock.
Judge Slmonton indicated at adjourn
ing time that he does not expect to
llnlsh With the case at bar much be
fore Saturday, Ho announced that Hie
Antl-Mnelilno, Union and other ex
ceptions will be taken up next .Monday

THE GRAND PARADE

For More Than Six Hours the Peoplo

Veterans Marched as Raw Recruits
in 1861, and Many More Took Part
in the Grand Review at the Close
of the War in 1865 The President
Rides Up and Down the Line and
Is Received by the Veterans with
Loud Applause.
By Excluxlvc Wire (rom The Associated Press.
Washington. Oct. S. For more than
six hours today the people In Wash
ington hummed the chorus of the old
civil war song. "Tramp, Tramp, tha
Boys Aro Marching," and for an equal
time the veterans constituting the G.
A. H. made good the claim. The parado
was the climax of the thirty-sixth en
campment of their order. The occasion
was In every way worthy of the Grand
Army.
Beginning nt a few minutes past 10
o'clock, when the -head ot the column
moved from Its station at the capltol,
it was almost 5 o'clock when the last
squad of the lino had passed the place
of disbandnient west ot the white house.
None of thn soldiers were niarchlnsr
any great part, of the time, for the
entire line of march did not exceed
two miles in length, but those who
composed the rear detatchment were on
their feet practically all day, much of i,
the time being consumed 'lu waiting to
take their places In the line. The routo
of the parade was down historic Penn
sylvania avenue, along which many of
them marched as raw recruits In going
to the war in IS81 and 1862. and many
others on the occasion of the' grand re
view in 1 86.".. at the close ot the war.
The crowds who thronged their path
way were enthusiastic and the weather
was magnificent. The spectators wera
limited in numbers only by the capacity
of the broad sidewalks, the stands, the
parks, the windows and the housetops
along the line of inarch to hold them. '
The government departments and
schools were closed for the day, and
practically the entire population of
Washington turned out to do honor to
the veterans nlong with the hundred
thousand visitors to the city.
The president of the Cnlted States
also lent his energies to the entertain
ment of the capital's guests. Unable
to endure the strain of reviewing the
column from a stand, he rose from his
reclining chair and had himself driven
up ami down the line. The unusunl In
terest thus manifested was appreciated
by the old soldiers and the president
was every where received by them with
loud applause.
.More than five hours was consumed
by the procession In passing the re
viewing titand In front of the white
house.
There were at least 2.1,000 men In line
nnd the estimate or commander-in-chief
Torrance ran as high as 30,000
men.
Tonight the veternns held camp fires
In the Ills tents.
The Pennsylvania Heroes.
The Pennsylvania veterans occupied
probably more time than those or any
other state In passing the stand. They
carried a number of old lings, but they
were tightly furled, ho that the effect
of the war and of the intervening time
ou them was left largely to the Imag
ination of tho spectators Neverthe-
less, the sight was an Inspiring one,
and the banners were cheered to tho
echo. Alnny of the old soldiers carried
individual llagH and guidons, all wore
badges, and some posts carried ban
ners being peculiar Inscriptions. For
Instance, the post from Somerset, Pa.,
announced In bold letters that they
were the "Sons of Thunder," The
spectators cheered them good-naturedly.
Scattered here and there In the
pioeesstoii were ladles, and once In a
while a girl appeared as the daughter
of the regiment.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt re
turned to the white house about 1.30 p,
m., having been gone an hour and a.
half, They had driven through Rock
Creek and Zoological parks, but kept
clear of the crowds. Several thousand
people, waiting outside tho white house,
cheered their return, The president'!)
