HAZLETON, l'a„ Sept. 18.—The sreat stnist'le between the anthracite coal miners of Pennsylvania and their employers is now well under way. Kacli side is confident of witmitiK, and neither of the <-ontcndiiifc r forces shows any dis position to yield. With the exception of a trivial incident at No. .'{ colliery of the Lehigh Coal company, where a gang of boys compelled a mule driver to seek cover by tbrowing stones at hitu. the con test thus far has been entirely devoid of violence of uuy kind. About lUO foreign speaking miners have left llar.leton for New York, where they will take a steamer for Europe. These men expect a long strike und rath er than remain idle here they preferred togo to their former homo. President Mitchell lias given out the following statement: "Information received up to this time "udicntc that mine workers are on strike iu the nnthraeitc region. Of this number 72,(KM) are in district No. 1, MO.OOO in district No. !• aud 10,(XMI in dis trict No. T. "Reports received are to the effect that I large numbers of those who have gone to the mines will soon join the suspension." "We feel confident that the entire num ber of men employed iu and about the coal mines of the anthracite district will be idle in the next few days. "The men appear determined to con tinue ou strike until their demands for justice have been acceded to. "The number of men now out on strike exceeds that of any other industrial eon test iu the history of our country." Reports received by the I'nited Mine Workers' officials from the entire anthra cite region were to them most satisfac tory. The district south of this place known us the South Kidc has been tied up completely with the exception of Col craiue, Heaver Meadow and Caraous washeries. In this territory the I'nited Mine Workera are very stroug. On the north side, the upper Lehigh. Milnesrille. Kbervale and Drifton No. 1 collieries, employing about I.AOO men, are shut down, the mines at Lat timer and Pond Creek, employing 1.-OO men, are working full, but every other mine in that big territory la working with badly crippled forces. Three of the Marklv mines, over which there has been so much contention, worked with about AS per cent of their meu.

It j was a most orderly crowd Around strike headquarters at the Valley hotel there was more oi less of a crowd of men all day. President Mitchell, who has arrived front the west, ««s kept bilsy receivilig reports from every section of the region. Messengers bringing infor mation to him from nearby points kepi coming regularly. ilr. Mitchell decided nu important ' point ill the matter of arbitration.

The Kepubliean ticket inspires confidence, arouses enthusiasm, and stands for all that is wise, wife, sure and strong in leadership. Every American dollar is a gold dollar or its assured equivalent, •and American credit stands higher than that of any other nation. The Republican Party's supre macy is as necessary for Honest wages and Business confidence HOW as it was in 1896. American goods should be car ried in American ships. TUESDAY NOVEMBER li, \M. \ ———— ' tattler t'Mtlips. wno suggested rue men of having Archbishop Rynn brought iu as arbitrator on behalf of the men, would not talk on the decision of President Mitchell, but iu speaking on the subject of an early settlement of the strike he said: "There can hardly be anything done for u few days, und it is likely that the nature of the archbishop's efforts may de pend upon the contingency that lnuy arise in the meantime or due to the contin uance of the strike. 1 will watch events closely and keep him informed of every opportunity where mediation or iuter cession can serve to make this strike of brief duration. That is about all that can be accomplished or even attempted > now that the conflict has begun unless overtures for arbitration should lie made to him. but of course that will have to come from both sides agreeing to it. It is too early to look for a basis of nego tiations or mediation, as the contending forces will probably test each other's strength before deciding on peace or con- ! tinned war. It is yet hoped that ii w ill j be peace." Historic Tavern Burned. CHEAT BARRINOTON. Mass.. Sept. 14.—The old Ford tavern at Van l>ensen viUv, built in 1775 and owned aud occu pied by 11. L.

CONDEMNS KANSAS CITY PLATFORM. <«)« Trust Problem Should He Care fully Studied—Xamex Tliomna Jef ferson ns Plr»l ICxpHiistoulsl. Our Tprrllorial Acquisitions. "NEW YORK, Sept. 17. Governor Theodore Itooscvelt has made public his letter m-copting the uomiuation for vice president on the Republican national ticket. Mr. Roosevelt reviews I lie va rious issues brought to the front by both the Republican and Democratic parties. The currency question, trusts and expan sion are the subjects to which he has de voted the greater part of his letter. "I feel that this contest is by nu means one merely between Republicans and Democrats. We have a right to appeal to all good citizens who are l'arsighted enough to see what the honor and (he interest of the nation demand. To put into practice the principles embodied in lhe Kansas City platform would mean grave disaster to the nation, for that platform stands for reaction and disor der, for an upsetting of our tiuanciai system which would mean not only great suffering, but the abandonment of the nation's good faith, and for a policy abroad which would imply the dishonor of the Hag and an unworthy surrender of our national rights. Its success would mean unspeakable humiliation to meu proud of their country, jealous of their country's good name and desirous of so curing the welfare ol' their fellow citi iseus. Therefore we have a light to ap peal to Mil good men, north and south, east and west, whatever their politics may have been in the past, to stand with us because we stand for the prosperity of the country and for the renown of tin American Hag. "If this nation is to retain either i:i well being or its self respect, it cannot afford to plunge into tiiiaucinl and eco nomic chaos: it cannot a Hon I to iudot'se governmental theories which would un settle the standard of national honesty and destroy the integrity of our system of justice. The policy of the free coinage of silver at a ratio of IU to 1 is a policy fraught with destruction to every home in the land. It means untold misery to the head of every household and above all to the women and children of every home. When our opponents champion 'free silver at It! to 1. they are either in sincere or sincere in their attitude. If insincere iu their championship, they of course forfeit all right to belief or sup port on any ground. If sincere, then they are a menace to the welfare of the country." Speaking of trusts. Mr. Roosevelt says: "The tirst thing to do is to find out the facts, and for this purpose publicity as to capitalization, profits and all else of importance to the public is the most use ful measure. The mere fact of this pub licity would in itself remedy certain evils, and, as to the others, it would iu some cases point out tile rcllifdics and would at least enable us to tell whether or not certain proposed remedies would lie use ful. The state acting in its collective capacity would thus Hrst find out the facts and then lie able to take such measures as wisdom dictated. Much can be done by taxation. Kvcn more can be done by regulation, by close supervision anil the unsparing excision of all uti healthy, destructive and antisocial ole nients. The separate state governments can do a great deal, and where they de cline to co-operate the uatioiml govern incut must step in." Concerning expansion, he sii>s "In I StKt. IIIIIIIM I 'resident .IclTerson. the greatest single stride in expansion that we ever took was taken by the purchase of the Louisiana territory. This so called Louisiana, which included w hat are now the states of Arkansas, Misson li. Louisiana. lowa. M : utii-soia. Kansas. Nebraska. North and South Hakota, Ida ho.
