Reading Officials Will Consider
Miners' Ultimatum.
Soma of tli e Director! Are Known to lie
Opposed to Abollihlng the Sliding
6eule President Mltcboll Make. State
ment, Railing Another Obslaols Id
Way of Settlement.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10. K Is ex
pected that the officials of the Reading
company will today take up for con
sideration the proposition of the Mine
Workers' convention.
It Is known that some of the direc
tors of llie company are opposed to the
abolishing the sliding scale which has
for years been In operation at the Head
ing collieries.
The convention demanded that the 10
per cent Increase offered by the opera
tors be made on a set basis, to continue
until next April, and that the sliding
scale be abolished.
ANOTHER OBSTACLE.
Mitchell Say Price of Powder Muit Not
lie Floured la the 10 Ter
Cont Advance.
SCRANTON, Pa.. Oct. 10. Presi
dent Mitchell and the others of the
strike leaders who remained fiver Bun
day In this city left for Ha.leton yes
terday. Mr. Mitchell declined to dis
cuss the operators' statement of their
views of the convention's outcome as
conveyed to the public In the Interview
with President T. H. Watkins of the
Temple Iron company, but permitted
himself to say that Mr. Watkins was
unfair In declaring that tho raids In
the lower districts were led by paid
officers of the United Mine Workers.
He also sottled effectively the dispute
whether or not the resolutions contem
plate that the operators' offer must also
be amended by striking off the codicil
that the decrease In the price of pow
der Is to be computed in flouring the
advance In wages. "The advance must
be a flat one," said Mr. Mitchell.
"Where powder Is being sold for $2.75
a keg the excessive charge will be one
of the grievances that the company will
be called upon to take up when the men
are accorded the conference that their
respective employers agreed In the
posted notices to give them on their re
turn to work."
In the face of the pronounced declar
ation of the operators thnt the offer
must be accepted as it stands this is
regarded here as another serious ob
stacle to a speedy settlement.
There was no conference yesterday of
operators at the Temple Iron com
pany's office as reported there would
be, or If there was, the operators de
clare they know nothing of it.
WARNING TH; MINERS.
Union Olllulnls Say Operator Are Trying
to Start a Stampede
SHAMOKIN, Pa., Oct. 16. Commit

calling on miners all day yesterday to
warn them not to pay Attention to pe
titions being circulated by anyone of
several coal carrying companies ask
ing miners to return to worl pending a
settlement between the operators, coal
cnrylng companies and miners.
The committees Informed, the men
that operators are trying to effect a
stampede among the men In order to
break up the strike, and that It Is prob
able the operators have decided not to
comply with the demands of the Scran
ton convention.
Most of the miners in this section of
the Ninth district assert thaf they will
not return to work until President
Mitchell advises them to do so. Opera
tors continue asserting that they will
not sign an agreement to pay the men a
10 per cent Increase to last until April.
Everything continues quiet In the re
gion. TROOPS ANXIOUS TO LEAVE.
Tint ttoiiernl C.obln Will Remain Until
Men Oo llnck to Work.
SHENANDOAH, Pa., Oct. 15. Gen
eral Gobin, In charge of the state troops
located here since the strike riot of
Sept. 21, is anxiously awaiting the ver
dict of the operators in regard to the
terms of settlement agreed upon at the
Scranton convention.
He is anxious to get away and to send
the troops home, but the outbreaks at
Oneida and Lattlmer last week and
the condition of affairs In the Panther
Creek region cause him to hesitate.
It Is probable that there will be no
movement of troops until it is known
whether the proposed terms of agree
ment are acceptable to the operators.
NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Operators at Shaniokln and Mt. Carinel
Do Not Like Miners' Ternu.
SCRANTON, Pa.. Oct. 15. The terms
of the Scranton convention are not ac
ceptable to operators and representa
tives of the coal carrying companies

signing a contract binding them to pay
the 10 per cent Increase until April.
No orders have been received aa yet
from headquarters of any companies
instructing superintendents to resume
work today. Miners say they will not
go to work until officially advised by

GEORGETOWN, Ky., Oct. 15. The

tion Is all that it should be and that
no flaw can be found in It, but his
mental condition Is a mystery to them.
His condition yesterday was un
changed. That he possesses the power
speech Is proved by his frequent de
mands to the guards that they go away
from him. He also speaks of his wife
and at times recognizes her.
There are some who believe that
Youtsey Is shamming and these openly
declare their conviction.
The general Impression is that the
prosecution will make a strong effort
to have the trial resumed Immediately.
MADE SURE OF DEATH.
Brooklyn Man's Thorough Preparations
For Suicide.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13,-Henry WIN
kens, a Nassau street saloon keeper,
killed himself yesterday. He was de
spondent over continued 111 health.
Wllkens was found dead in the big Ice
box in the cellar. The door of It was
shut tight and gas fumes filled It
The body hung by a piece of clothes
line from two hooks driven Into a joist
overhead. A 45-calibre revolver was
tied about his chest and a rubber hose
fastened to the gas fixture hung at his
side.
The arrangement of the revolver
showed great care and pains. It was
fastened with a piece of clothes line,
the strands of which had been unwound
and so fastened to the weapon as to
make It point almost directly towards
the man's heart. A yard of twine, fast
ened to the trigger, had a loop In the
other end of it so as to make It pos
sible for Wllkens to slip his foot Into
It and pull the trigger In that way.
He had evidently stood on a half bar
ren, near by, adjusted the rope and the
revolver and had turned on the gas
and put the end of the tube In his
mouth. He had then stepped off the
half barrel. There was a bullet wound
in his chest and two cartridges in the
revolver had been discharged.

excess of the corresponding period at
1S99.
Failures are slightly more numerous,
it is true than of late, but they are still
well down to a normal minimum.
