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. On lhe west aide every collier) bus
started up miltus its union men except at

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."

ROOSEVELT ACCEPTS
Vice Presidential Candidate
Makes Public His Letter.
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. Montana Hid .i large part of Ido
rado and ft nil. was a>-i|uirid by treaty
and purchase under President Jefferson
exactly and preci-eh .is the Philippines
have been u< t|iiii by treaty ami pin
• luise under I'lexideni McKinlcy.
"The parallel I what JclTersou
did with Louisiana and what is now Ik
ing Jon.* ill the I'll *ppiues is exact.
.IclTerson. the author the I declaration
of Independence nud of the 'consent of
the governed' doctrine, saw no iueoitgru
ity between this and the establlshuieut
of a government ou common sense
