Thousands of men of every class
lfiude application for work today.
Under the decision of the convention
those, directly employed In cutting and
handling coal cannot return to work
until tomonow, but workmen who are
needed to make repairs and otherwise
place the workings In condition for
operation were reinstated today wher
ever needed. There were many disap
pointments, however, principally among
the engineers and pumprtumers. These
two classes of mine workers struck on
June 2 for an eight-hour day and also
to help the miners.
Regarding' Non-Union Men.
Their positions are not so arduous as
those of the miners and their laborers,
ami tho wages paid are comparatively
better. They want their old positions,
and in many cases they failed. It is
tho opinion of the workers that tho
superintendents will llnd a way to re
employ nil of them. The unlunists say
the companne.s will got rid of all in",
competent men hired during the sus
pension, because when the mines begin
working full time the non-union men
..111 not be able to till their places prop
erly. The striken; argue that superin
tendents will not risk the lives of the
men nor the wrecking of tho mines,
thritigh the mistake of the non-union
men, whom the strikers claim are most
ly Incompetent. Company superintend
ents said today there would he no dis
crimination in taking back men, except
that where men have committed vio
lence or were otherwise unduly aggres
sive during the pi ogress of ihe strike.
Such men, the officials say, will not he
taken hack.
One of the developments of the day
was the great number of men who have
been employed throughout tho strike,
who loft their places today and return
ed to their homes. Hundreds were paid
off bv the several coal coinpunies In
this valley, and the same Is trim
throughout the regions. Among these
were clerks, who will return to the
offices of the coal companies; men who
..were employed In other occupations
mid were thrown 'out or work on ac
count or tho strike; men who weie
,. strikers but wont back to work in other
pants of the region where they wero
not known, and will now return to
thulr own localities and try to get
work in their old places, and somu coal
and iron 'policemen. It Is expected
more of these men will quit work In
the course of the next few days. They
are disliked by the unionists, and It Is
probable tho, , relatnoiis between tlieni
will not bo 'lmprnvi-d once they get
worklng.,sldu by side In the mines.
.Many Towns Celebrate.
Celebrations in honor of the ending
of the strike wero continued In many
towns or the Wyoming valley today.

idty, celebrated tonight,
President Mitchell Is now engaged In

nothing to say today, regarding the
situation, lnit It Is evident from his

MISSIONARY COUNCIL ..
OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Important Topics Discussed at the
Sessions in Philadelphia Greet
ings from England.
Ily i:iIiimv Wiie (nun The -iui.itcil Vrm.
Philadelphia. Oct. 22, Two Important
topics were discussed al today's ses
sions of the Missionary council of the
Protestant Kpiscopal church. The first,
which consumed the entire morning
session, with the exception of a half
hour set aside for the transaction of
business, concerned the desirability of
a change In tho missionary canon of
the church. The principal speakers on
this subject were Tit. Rev. H. V, Sut
terlee. bishop of Washington, anil Rt.
Hev. I... It. (hewer, bishop of Montana.
The second referred to the need of ad
ditional mission workers nnd how to
meet it, addresses being made by III.
Hev. Cameron Jlann, bishop of North
Dakota; Hev. .1. C. Roper, of the Gen
eral Theological seminary, and Hev. I.,.
H. Hhlgely, of Wu Chang, China.
Hlshop Satterlee, in discussing tlio
first named subject, advanced many
reasons why a change would he bene
(lclal. In his opinion the restrictions
placed upon the missionary council
hampered that body In promoting tho
work for which It was created. New
conditions have arisen, he said, and
new methods should be devised to meet
them.
Uishop Ilrewer argued agalmt a
change, as he believed the organization
was satisfactory, A rearrangement
would cause confusion and fall to in
crease the Interest In mission work.
The subject of mission workers, dis
cussed at the afternoon session, brought
oik numerous suggestions for increas
ing the number of volunteers.
aii appeal was received from the
Bishop Payne Divinity school, at
Petersburg, Vn for funds, and a reso
lution offered by Hlshop Hrown, of Kan
sas, was adopted requesting the board
of managers to appropriate Sluo.000 to
be distributed among Hie bishops In the

NEW MEXICO'S DROUGHT.
Jacarilla Apnche3 in Distress Agent
Advises Timber Sales,
Ily I'xclu.lve Wire (mm The Assoclalnl l'n,
Washington, Oct. 22. The worst
drought In the history of northern New
.Mexico prevailed during tlio six months
ended last July, says the miiiuut report
of the agent nt the Jiicurllta Apache
Indian agency, New Mexico. The crops
for IH02 are it total failure. The Indians
dug under the rocks for enough wutcr
to quench their thirst and drove their
stock for days before (hiding water for
them. Many horses, cattle, sheep and
goats died of hunger and thirst.
"The Indians," he says, "have been
drinking water that would kill an ordi
nary 'man. In spite of their self-help
there Is not enough Income to keep the
Indians from want." Tlio remedy ad
vocated by the report Is the sale of
their timber, which, It Is said, would
soon enable them to support them
selves, If the proceeds were applied to
the purchase or sheep and cattle. If a
remedy is not applied, the report sug
gests, It In likely that the Jacarllla
Apache always will be a burden to the
government.
B-G RALLY IN

Cincinnati. O.. Oct. 22. The first and
only Republican rally in this city this
year was addressed tonight by Senators
Heverldge. Koraker and Hanna. Tho
meeting was preceded by a parade of
Itepubllcan clubs. Music hall, with a
seating capacity of more than 3.000, hail
all Its standing room taken with crowds
about the doors.
Senator Koraker presided anil re
viewed former campaigns and their
leaders, saying there never was one
like that of this year, when tho Demo
crats hml no Issues and no leader un
less Tom Johnson is their leader. He
reviewed the old Issues of free trade,
free silver. "Aguilialdo. the (ienrgo
Washington of the Orient," ami lust of
all was tlio "strike which President
Roosevelt had removed, so that now
the Democrats wore without Issue,
leader or hope."
Speeches! by Senators Heverldge and
Hanna followed.
Senator Hanna received a rousing
ovation as he appeared. Senator Han
nu's address related mainly to state'
affairs, and i specially to his neighbor
Tom Johnson. lie referred to tho
speeches of Foraker and Heverldge
about the Democratic party not hav
ing a leader or an Issue, but lie said
they had heavy liabilities and a receiv
er in Ohio Tom Johnson. He said
Johnson's plank on equal taxation
meant for the "other fellow" to pay
the taxes and bis home rule plank
meant that he was "It." He said tlio
only. Issue of the Democrats hi Ohio
this" year was Tom Johnson with all ills
sophistries, and the issues of the Ile
publlcans were their record of forty
years and the support of President
Hoosevelt in carrying out the princi
ples and policies of McKlnley. Sena
tor Hanna then discussed national Is
sues at some length, and In referring
to tlio success of President Hoosevelt
and President Mitchell In closing the
strike, lie advocated a partnership In
the future between capital and labor, a
partnership of equal rights and fair
treatment. He raid the conditions now
are in favor of organized labor being
fully recognized by capital and lie
wanted organized labor also American
ized. This he considered the greatest
development of the twentieth century.
With the 'application of moral princi
ples and good citizenship and the gold
en rule, there would be no conflict be
tween the organizations of capital and
labor.

Prior to the meeting IIipi-p was a par

My Dear Sir. f regret that my engage
ments will not permit an acceptance of
your iuvitutiiiu tii attend the Democratic
meeting to bo held in Tammany Halt on
tin 22nd inst.
It In most gratifying to learn from thu
terms of your note that Hip Democracy of
thr."W(y of New Vork fully appreciates
how vitally tlio underlying principles of
our party are Involved hi the-punding can
vass, and also you know of tho determin
ation that they shall not be forgotten in
Its campaign efforts.
The great Donnieratic organization of
the city of New York Is so Important a
factor in controlling tho result of party
endeavor In the broadest fields, that no
campaign in which it engages can bo
considered sufficiently local to free it
from the responsibility of its influence
ilium parly prospects everywhere and at
all times.
This responsibility has been well met In
the present comalgn by the selection of
trustworthy candidates, by Intelligent
party work, and by tho sensible efforts to
secure harmonious Democratic, action.
I sincerely hope, that ns a result, tlio
Democracy of tho city of New York will
again demonstrate its invincibility at
home; that Deonicratlc good government
and economical administration will bo io
storert to the people of the state, and
that Democratic hope and conlldeiten will

Hoping that your meeting will be
abundantly successful and mo.-.t useful in

Yours truly.

Mr. Hill, who reached the hall prior
to the reading of Mr. Cleveland's let
ter, was received with great applause,
Mr. Hill's Speech.
"1 make no apology for my appear
ance hero tonight," said Mir. Hill, "be
cause none Is needed. You will recall
what 1 said at the opening of
the Tllden club, In this city, some
months ago, when I declared that In
this campaign I should know no friends
or enemies, except tho trionds and
enemies of thu Democratic party. He
gardless of past differences, which
never related to party policy, I extend
the right hand of fellowship to every
Democrat on this grand old organiza
tion loyally supporting Democratic
candidates and principles."
Referring to the tariff on coal, Mr,
Hill charged Senator Piatt with dodg
ing tho vote in congress on the ques
tion nt' Imposing a tariff on tinthracllo
colli. President Hoosevelt, he said, hud
declined to express an opinion as to
whether the existing tariff should be
.lemovcd.
"The people," said Mr. Hill, "are
waiting for him to act. Tlio selection
of arbitrators to adjust a labor strike
is merely a temporary rellet, nut the
questlop whether there shall be here- '
after a tarltf tax on unthracilo coal Is
u permanent and lasting question."
Mr. 1 1 ill spoke at considerable length
on the questions of trusts mid revision

Evidence Presented'- Before
Justice Lambert Yesterday.
Letters in Evidence.
By Exelusive Wire (roin The A;oclaterl Pr8s.
New Vork. Oct. 22. Police Captain
CJporge McCluskey was called to iden
tify the exhibits In the case that passed
through his hands when he was head
of the detective bureau. He told of the
packages then found at 1620 Broadway,
the letter box place hired in tho name
of Cornish, and was telling of the re
ports made to him by the men of bis
staff when ex-Oovernor Hlack objected.
Justice Lambert ruled against him,
and McClusky identified ihe package of
Kutnow powder that was sent to tho
letter box and never called for. Wit
ness said he bad submitted to experts
the various specimens -of handwriting
lie had received, including specimens
from Cornish. Defense objected to this
testimony, but was overruled.
McCluskey was not allowed to say
what opinion the experts had given of
the writing.
Joseph J. Koch, tlie,tepp,fi- of tho
letter box place was called to the stand.
Up said that in June of 1S9S, he receiv
ed a. letter signed Roland H. Mollneux,
asking tho cost of u private letter box,
Ho sent, a circular containing his rules
and terms to Mollneux In Newark. On
Dec. 21, ISnS, the witness said o young
man came to his place of business and
hired a letter box. The man gave him
the name of H. Cornish.
Cornish, who was standing In the
body of tho court room, stood up.
"Is that the man who hired the letter
box?" asked Mr. Osborne.
"It is not."
"Did this defendant hire a box from
you?" indicating Mollneux.
"Ho was In the store inquiring about
tho rent of a box."
Joseph J. Koch, the keeper of the
letter box place, then took the stand.
After, Koch told ex-Governor Hlack It
was not until the summer of 1SB0, In
June, that ho llrst said he recognized
Molineux as the man who called to ceo
about hiring a letter box.
Charles 15. Allen, a chemist In tho
color house of H. Constant & Co., was
called to tell of his association with
Mollneux in Morris Herman & Co.'s
color house, in Newark. The labora
tory there, the witness said, was "fairly
well equipped." Ho and Mollneux sub
scribed for one or two trade papers,
and frequently made experiments In
producing colors. Mollneux had use of
the laboratory.
"Did you write this letter?" asked
Mr. Osborne, showing witness it paper
and envelope.
"I did. I wrote it and signed It, and
mailed It jit Mr. Mollneux's request.
My Initials appear under ills name."
Tho letter was offered In evidence,
lifter Mr. Osborne had explulued that It
was the letter Koch received asking for
the magazine "Studio" and to which bo
teplled by enclosing his circular giving,
among other things, the terms for pri
vate" letter boxes,
"Did Mollneux ever know anything
about that letter you wrote to Koeh?"
counsel asked.
"No."
"Did Mollneux get the papers received
in reply to that letter?"
"I don't think so."
On Re-examination,
On n-exitniliiatlon by Mr. Osborne.
Mr, Allen said he had general Instruc
tions from Mollneux to write for copies
of all trade papers,
F.x-davernor Hlack still objected to
tho admission or tho letter. Tho assist
ant district attorney argued that all ho
wanted to show by It was that Mol
lneux's address was sent to Koch and
to corroborate Koch's testimony that
ho hail Moljnmix'r! address and had sent
him a circular. In that way, counsel
argued, he would establish the pro
mimptlmi that .Mollneux had knowledge
of 1D20 Hroadway as a place where
letter boxes could be hired.
Justice Lambert reserved his decis
ion on the admission of the letter,
.William J. Kinsley, tho handwriting
expert, Identified some writing ho saw
Mollneux do In tho district attorney's
oflleo on February I" and February 19,
lS!il, and then declared that the so.
called'Hurpster letter, written Io Fred
erlck Stearns & Co., In Detroit, was
written by the same hand,
Mr. Osborne promptly offered tlio let
ter In evidence, and ex-Oovernor Hlack
us promptly objected on the grounds
that It Is Incompetent under tho ruling
of the court of appeals; that it tends
to connect and accuse tho defendant of
a crime other than that for which he la
on trial, ,and that the signature "II.
Cornish" docs pot necessarily refer to
Harry S. Cornish.
Justice Lambert overruled the objec-
THE LANDSTHING
BLOCKS THE SALE
tlon and the letter was reud to the
Jury.
Kinsley testllied that, In his opinion,
Mollneau.v wrote that letter and nlso
three others, giving tho address 1620
Hroadway, signed "II. Cornish," and
unking for samples of patent medi
cines. All were admitted In evidence, despite
the objection of counsel.
A long series of written exhibits was
presented to the witness and Identified
by him as having been written by the
defendant. Mr. Osborne explained that
Kinsley was testifying as u layman,
and that later in the trial he will be
called again to testify as an expert.
Among tho letters Identified by Kins
ley were several of the so-cutlcd Har
net letters. Justice Lambert admitted
