VOTETHE REPUBLICAN TICKET MITCHELL HOPEFUL. Strike Will End When Oper ators All Agree. SEVERAL COMPANIES HOLD OFF. President of Miners' Union Thinks I'vwdfr Question Can Be Settled When Advance Is Pledwed by All Companies. IIAZLETON, Pa., Oct. 23.—President Mitchell iu uu interview last night prac tically admitted that the anthracite coal miners' strike would end as soon as all the operators posted a notice guarantee ing the payment of a 10 per cent advance in wages until April 1. President Mitch ell said: "The prospect of an early settlement of the coal strike is becoming brighter, some of the operators who have not yet posted notices signifying their willingness to fall iu line either with the Heading compuuy or with the propitxition made by the Le high Valley ••ompsuy in the llazleton re giou. If all of them notify their em ployees by posting notices or otherwise that an actual advance of 10 per cent will be paid each mine employee uml guarantee its continuance until April 1, together with the abolition of the sliding scale, 1 believe that the terms would be accepted by the mine workers. The re duction in powder from $2.7i) to sl.. r >o has confused the miners, but some of the op erators have so fully explained how con tract miners could receive the full ad vance of 10 per cent as well as all other employees that I believe this obstacle can be overcome." Although, as President Mitchell suys, the outlook for an early settlement of the strike is bright, it is difficult to make a prediction as to wheu the end will come. Some of the coul companies are showing a disposition not to issue a second notice guaranteeing the payment of the 10 per cent increase in wages until April. Among these are the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western und the Delaware and Hudson, the officials of which companies are re ported to have declined to issue a supple mental notice. The labor leaders, how ever, hope that the companies will in some way make known that they will guarantee the payment of the advance until April 1. President Mitchell appeared quite cheerful when he made the announce ment as above, und his manner indicated that the time is near al hand w lieu all the anthracite miners now on strike shall return to the mines.

Charles Dudley Warner, (lie eminent author anil leetiucr, (lied very suddenly Saturday afternoon under peculiar circumstances in the home of Mrs. Robert Smith, a colored woman living on Windsor street, in the lower part of the city. It is not known jusi what time he died, and lie is supposed to Cave been dead for quite a while before the authorities were notified. Mr. Warner's health had been poor for some time past, and recently he hail a slight shock of paralysis which slightly disfigured his face. The medical exam iner who visited his remains said that death was due to heart failure and that he had been dead an hour and a half pre vious to the time he viewed the body. The woman in whose house Mr. War ner's death occurred said that he had known her for a number of years and hail given her books and befriended her. He was passing her house and, feeling faint, went in for a glass of water. He had been there but a few moments when he expired in the chair he sat in. Charles Dudley Warner was horn on Sept. 12, 1820. in I'laintield. Mass., where during his childhood he read chief ly Biblical commentaries and biographies of gentlemen of austere life, the only reading matter almost that was ready to his hand. His father, who was a man of Now England culture, died when Charles was 5 years old, and the boy's guardian desigued him for a clerk and put him to work indue season in a drug store and later in a postotlicc. The young man was educated, however, at Hamilton col lege, being graduated in 1851, after which he went to Missouri with a party of sur veyors for his health, returning to the east and taking his degree in the law de partment of the University of Pennsyl vania in 1850. In the same year he joined the newly orgauised Republican party. He practiced law in Chicago for a few years and then came east again to take a place on the Hartford Press, becoming later when that paper was absorbed by The Courant one of the coeditors of the latter with his friend General Joseph R. Hawley. For mauy years he was active on The Courant, but had not been lately, although one of the chief owners of the paper, the policy of which he largely directed. His career as an author began in 18TO with a series of sketches called "My Summer In a Garden." which attained immediate recognition. After "My Summer In a Garden" Mr. Warner published "Saunterings," remi niscent of his travels: "Backlqj: Studies," partly a collection of magazine papers ' i which he extols the influences of the 1 side circle and touches upon social topi.s in u humorous way; "Baildeck and That Sort of Thing." "My Winter on the Nile," •'Washington Irving" and "Round about Papers" among other things. He also published in collaboration with Sam uel L. Clemeus in 18711 "The Gilded Age." In 1888 he published "On Horse back" anil in 1805 "The Golden House,' the material for which he gathered in New York. His latest literary work was the editing of the "Library of Universal Literature." Hrooklyn Winn the Trophy. PITTSBURG, Oct. 19.—The agouy Is over.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The death •112 ex-Secretary John Sherman, as an nounced yesterday, has removed one ol the nation's greatest citizens. Funeral services will be held at the K street residence tomorrow. Rev. Dr. JOHN SIIERMAN.' Mackay-Smith of St. John's Episcopa church officiating. After the services tht body will be taken to Manstield, 0., where it will be interred beside that of Mrs. Sherman. John Sherman was boru iu Lancaster, 0., on May 10, 1823. He was the eighth in a family of 11 children, the late Gen eral William Tecumseh Sherman being the sixth child. Their mother's luaideu name was Mary Hoyt. Their father, for live years a justice of the Ohio supreme court, was a descendant of the Rev. Johu Sherman of Essex, England, who came to America in 11534. On the death of Jus tice Sherman in 1820 the family became scattered and u cousin of the name of John Sherman took young Johu and sent him to school. The boy was prepared for college. Desire to become self support ing led him, however, to joint u corps of surveyors and engineers, with whom he worked for two years. He then studied law in the office of his brother Charles and was admitted to the bar on May 11. 1844. He practiced law iu partnership with his brother at Mansfield, 0.. until he was elected u representative iu con gress in 1854. Somewhat before his first appearance iu the national legislature Johu Sherman had, on Aug. .'lO, 1848, married Cecilia Stewart, daughter of Judge Stewart of Mansfleld, O. She was his companion throughout a long public career, and her death last spring marked the beginning of Mr. Sherman's rapid decline. Sherman was for nearly half a cen tury a Republican leader upon financial questions and was the originator of many important laws. In particular he was the author of the specie redemption plan of the Sherman act of 1870. The length of his continuous public service a brief review suffices to show. After member ship in successive congresses from 1855 to 1801 he wus ehoseu United States senator and was twice re-elected before becoming secretary of the treusury un der R. B. Hayes. He went back to the senate at the close of the four years' term in 1881 and represented Ohio until 1807, when he became President Mc- Kinley's secretary of state. From this office failing health caused his retirement two years ago. Sherman published his own record of his career in"The Rec ollections of Forty Years In the House. Senate aud Cabinet." A volume callel "Selected Speeches and Reports on Tax ation" was uuioug the publications inci dental to his special work. Mourning; In Maunfleld.

Schools Katftb* llshed—Amerlcmi Trospa Not I'ted Dnrlnw the %'ear. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. — Major (Jen* eral Leonard Wood has made the follow ing statement as to the content* of his civil report us governor general of Cuba: '"Hie-civil report of the island will not be published until the end of the present calendar year. It will cover in detail the wojk under the various civil departments of the military government during the en tire present year. I'nder the head of hos pitals and charities it will be found that every town of consequence in the island has been provided with a hospital well equipped with all necessary supplies and appliances. This condition exists, com mencing with Havana, in practically all the more important towns throughout the island. The largest hospital, which is at Havana, is capable of accommodating 2,000 patients- and is now serving as a general municipal hospital for that city. "Aaylums for orphan children have been established wherever necessary. The number of these institutions has been greatly reduced during the past few months owing to the great improvement in the general conditions existing in Cu ba, children beiug taken back to their famllies or their friends. "The prisons have been overhauled and repaired from one end of the island to the other and the sanitary conditions vastly improved. The military government has had its agents go over the island investi gating every case under detention, and many hundreds of prisoners who had been detained for long periods of time awaiting trial have been relented, only such being released, howevei, as had awaited trial for a period as long or lon ger than they would have been sentenced had they been found guilty. This work was done iu the months of January and February of this year. Courts have been stimulated and urged to a prompt per formance of their duty, aud the result has been that many prisons luive been practically empty and a very great im provement has been made in the conduct of criminal cases. A special inspector of prison* has been appointed, whose func tions are to inspect at least once in every three months each prison ou the islam I and to examine every prisoner therein. "Correctional courts have been estab lished throughout the larger cities, where the trial is oral and summary, as in our police courts. The writ of habeas corpus has been published, to take effect on I>ec. 1 of this year. "During the present year over :{.imhi public schools have been established. Thirty-six hundred teachers are employ ed in them, and li>o,ooo children are in the schools. This number is constantly iucreasing, and by the end of the present school year it is l»elieved that we shall have 250.000 children iu school. The lar gest number at school under the' Spanish rule was between 20,(MX) and 30,000. The salaries paid the teachers are all high, ex ceeding any paid In the I'nited States in corresponding grades, with the exception of three of our larger cities. School desks and supplies for 100,000 childreu have been purchased, sent to the island and put up. Enthusiasm for public education is great. The trip of the 1,300 teachers to Cambridge was most beneficial, ami attempts will be made to repeat it next year. "The I'nited States troops have not been used during the present year for the maintenance of order. The police work iu the rural districts is done by the rural guard, which amounts to about 1,200 men for the entire island of Cuba. These men and their officers are all Cu ban*. "A complete overland telegraph has been established throughout the island. Troops are in good health and are well located iu suitable barracks The con dition of the equipment and instruction is excellent. The troops have absolutely uo connection with the civil officials, and their presence is a guarantee of good or der. "The fiuaucial condition of the country is excellent. The government is entirely self supporting, ami the treasury has ai: unincumbered balance of Municipalities are gradually assuming their obligations. "The condition of the people of the lslaud, to the best of my knowledge an I belief, is one of content, aud the) teal ise that wonderful progress has been made, and they feel as a people kindly toward and have faith in the people of the I'nited Slates."
