Hazlbton, Sept. 2, 3 p. m. The striking
minors have adopted tho tactics which wero
followed by tho strikers in tho western part
of tho state.
At 11:30 this morning they started at
Audenried and marched north, stopping
work at all tho washorles enrouto and com
pelling tho employes to join them in their
march. The crowd is by no means assuring
in appoaranco. Many of them are as rough
looking as can bo imagined and seem very
determined. They are armed with clubs,
crowbars, plckhandlcs and such other mis
cellaneous woapons as thoy have been ablo to
reach and carry conveniently.
Tho strikers marched on to Bearer Brook
and stopped all work tbero. A return march
was then made to Yorktown, thenco to
Silver Brook, whoro they closed down tho
works, aftor which they stopped all work at
Sprlugbrook (tho old Yorktown colliery).
At this writing the strikers are on tho
road to Jeancsvlllo, and it is bellovod that
they will stop the work there and compel
tho employes to join the procession. Thoro
is only ono colliery in operation at Jcans
villo. A message Just received from along tho
lino of march says that, after effecting a close
down at Jeanesvillo, tho strikors will march
on to Hazleton and stop all colliery work ia
tho city and vicinity.
It is difficult at this time to say what will
happen. Thus far there has been no clash
botween tho operators and strikors and, to all
appearances, the latter are striving to avoid
any. Tho march of tho strikors has been
unimpeded and tho demand for work to stop
has been promptly and quiotly complied with
at each placo visited. The spirit of tho
marchers appears to bo such that the slightest
resistance might lead to a conflict.
Somo messages report that tho marching
strikors number 3,500, but conservatives placo
tho number at 1,300, although it is admitted
that tho number is considerably swelled by
additions to tho ranks at each placo whore
work is stopped, and by tho time tho strikors
reach Hazleton they will undoubtedly have
assumed large proportions.
As they march along tho strikers keep up
chorus of shouts and frequently indulge in
significant gestures, but in no case thus far
has any attempt at violence been made
against person, or proporty.
Much unoasiness is manifested over the
probable outcomo when tho marching strikers
reach hero. It Is expected that the demand
for a stoppage of work will bo promptly com
plied, with as at tho othor places visited, but
as to whether the strikers will thon march
quiotly homewards, or mako a demonstration
here, is tho question that causes uneaslnoss.
Hazlbton, Sept. 2. Thoro is a decided
change in the striko situation in this region,
so far as the collieries of A. S. Van Wlcklo
aro concerned. The employes at Milnotville
resumed work this morning. At Colcraino,
however, tbero ia not likely to be any re
sumption, for tho reason that tho employes
rejected Supt. Roderick's proposition. The
proposition is practically the same as sub
mitted at Milnojvillo. Tho Coloraine em
ployes mot yesterday afternoon and rejected
tho proposition. Another meeting was hold
last OTonlng.
Yesterday was ono of much ozcitoment
and expectation. Along with the strike at
Coleraino, tho omployes of tho Lehigh &
Wllkesbarre Company received a final answor
from the officials as to their grievances and
demands forwarded two weeks ago and
which havo sinco been under consideration.
Tho investigation was resumed at the ap
pointed hour, witli Assistant President
Warren, General Superintendent Lawall,
Chief Engineer BIchards, Superintendent
Jones and tho Grievance Comraitteo present.
Tho inquiry was conducted on a similar plan
to that of Tuesday, and a few witnesses whom
it was seen fit to summon wero called to
testify.
Acting President Warren and Manager
Lawall, of the Lehigh & Wllkesbarre Coal
Company, last evening handed to Alexander
McMulleu, chairman of the Strikers' Com
mittee, their ultimatum. Tho company
declinoi to make any concession, excepting to
advance laborers from 00 cents to $1 per day.
They decline to discuss tho company store
question or to consider tho removal of
Superintendent Jones.
The proposition was fully explainod to the
mon in tho different languages, at a meeting
held last night, and it was unanimously
decided to remain on strike until somo
further concessions were made.
The men regarded tho proposition of the
officials as decidedly shabby, inasmuch as the
wages paid many of thorn aro lower than at
some other collieries. From all appearances
the men are unanimous in their determina
tion to remain out and among the foreign
olomeut tho feeling is vory bitter, but peace
Is bound to bo preserved. Another largo
meeting will bo held this evening atMoAdoo.
An English-speaking miner, whon inter
viewed, said: "Tho strike was no benefit to
us; wo lost flvo days to benefit tho foreigners ;
wo would not objoct to tho company store so
much if the prices wero within reason. For
illustration of the enormous profits we are
obliged to pay, hero aro a few examples:
Whon eggs are selling in Hazleton for two
dozens for S3 cents, we paid 33 cents por
dozen ; butter sold by other doalers for IS
cents we paid 20 cents for ; tobacco sold in
Hazleton for 20 cents we are obliged to pay
31 cents for. These are but a fow samples of
mo prlees charged here, but wo have no re
dress. If wo do not deal in the store we are
notified about it with a broad intimation that
others would be glad to havo our places and
deal in the store."
The employes at Mllnesvllle. who liad been
granted an increase of 10 cents per div. did
not feel safe from interference by the men at
Coieraine, and fearing that the terms sub
mitted would not bo satisfactory to them.
extracted a promise from tho officials that
when they return to work this morning and

TO SETTLE THE STRIKE.
A Conforonco of Minn Lenders and
Operators nt Columbus.
Pittsburg, Sept. ?. Pittsburgh coal
operators met Or- national executive
board of the Unl.j.1 Mine Workers of
America this ma ulrlg at Columbus.
A conference Is I .4ng held, and it Is
very probable that the big strike will
be settled, not, however, until the min
ers of the Pittsburg district have a say.
This, in brief, Is the situation, and
hopes are high that a settlement will
follow the conference.
That the miners' officials think fa
vorably of the proposition submitted
by Thomas E. Young, on behalf of
the Senator Hanna Interests, Is very
evident. A private message from Dis
trict President Dolan says tho propo
sition will be considered, but that ho
was In favor of standing out for the
CD cent rate, pending arbitration. If
the executive board decides otherwise,
he said, he would not agree to It unless
his constituents were consulted.
From one of the operators It was
learned, that some of the local officials
of the miners are In favor of accept
ing tho proposition, and It Is almost
certain that a convention will be called.
Whether the miners of the district will
agree to the compromise Is another
question. Many are of the opinion that
they can win by holding out a short
time longer, as the operators must havo
coal for the lake trade.
Secretary Warner Issued a letter to
the miners yesterday, assuring them
that no settlement would be made at
Columbus below the 60 cent rate with
out llrat consulting them in convention.
W. P. DeArmltt, president of the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal company,
last evening attnehed the signature of
his company to the uniformity agree
ment. Those having In charge the se
curing of signatures now feel confident
that the uniformity plan will soon be
an assured fact,

MAJOR LEVI G. M'CAULEY.
A Popular Leader and Veteran )( the
War.
Major McCauley wns born In Chester
county Sept. 2, 18S7, and was educated In
the public schools, and at Ablngton Cen
tre and Wyoming seminary. lie was a
practical mechanical engineer prior to
the loss of his right arm In the late civil
war.
When the war out broke he was the
eldest of four brothers who, led by their
father, Joined a battalion of 200 men,
raised by the senior McCauley In Sus
quehanna county In the latter part of
April, 1801. On account of his uge Gov
ernor Curtln refused to commission the
elder McCauley, upon which his son Levi
left that battalion and Joined a com
pany of men at Wllkesbarre, which had
been recruited by Colonel K. D. Harvey.
This company afterwards became Com
pany F, of tho Seventh Regiment Re
serve Volunteer corps.
Young McCauloy went Into camp with
this company nt Camp Woyno, Chester
county, as a private soldier.
RIGHT ARM SHATTERED.
It was at tho battlo of Charles City
cross roads that Major McCauley lost his
right arm, the elbow having been shat
tered by a rifle ball.
One of tho highest tributes ever paid
to Major McCauloy wns shortly after the
closo of tho war. Colonel E. B. Harvey,
under whom Major McCauley had served.
In a letter to The American Republican,
said:
"Levi McCauloy was ono of tho bost
and most trustworthy and reliable men
tn my regiment. His devotion and fidelity
to tho cause and to duty securod him
tarly promotion from a prlvnto to a cap
taincy. At Dralnvllle he wns specially
noted for his firmness and determination
and success as a commanding officer, per
forming duties many others shrank from.
At Mechanlesvlllo battlo of the seven
days lighting around Richmond Captain
McCauley and Cnptaln King were speci
ally directed to guard a fordway across
Chlckahomlny, and at the extreme left
of the battle line. Twice they repelled a
rebel effort to cross tho stream. So suc
cessfully and well dono were the acts that
General McCnll personally desired to
thank McCauley and King for saving tho
battle that dav to our forces at that
point.
HIS BATTLE RECORD.
"At Gaines Hill battlo on the next day.
while Captnln McCauloy's company was
decimated, he kept his men In order and
steadily at work.
"At Charles City cross roads, after the
conflict beoamo confused, and disorder
and disorganization seemed to prevail, I
ordered Captain McCauley to support a
oattcry, while other companies gave at
tention to a flanking party. Tho rebels
charged on tho battery. McCauley re
pelled them. Tho attack was renewed,
and tho guns taken. McCauley rallied his
men. and with others ordered to his aid
he retook the guns after a hand to hand
fight over them, and slaughtered the foe,
McCauloy was shot In the arm,
"Tho victory was his, The guns and
ammunition wore removed from the field,
McCauley had his right arm nmputated,
and was taken prlsonor that night by tho
rebels,"
After his capture by the rebels Mc
Cauley was taken to Llbby prison, whero
he was compelled to Bit around on tho
edge of a oot and wait until another
Union prisoner died to make room for
him. He was subsequently paroled and
sent to David's Island hospital, tn New
York harbor, where he remained until
November, und wns then ordered to re
port for duty at Harrlsburg on recruit
ing service. Ho rejoined his regiment,
notwithstanding his maimed condition,
In January. 18S. He was promoted to a
captain of his company In the February
following, and did duty with his regiment;
and company until December, IMS, when
ho was transferred to tho Veteran Re
serve corps, being Anally discharged Jan,
30, 186, the rewiun services no longer re
quired.

"The Man Who Comes Here to Mine Does
So at the Expense of Health and
Happiness" Provisions Will
be Very Scarce.
San Francisco, Sept. 2. The Bulletin
has received a letter from Charles
Haines, dated Dnwnnn f!ltv. .Tulv 9fi
Mr. Haines is a well known newspaper
writer, ana ins letter Is the first writ
ten by a trained newspaper man to
come out of the Klondike gold regions.
He says: "The rich diggings have been
comparatively idle during the summer,
althOUCTh tho OUtnut frnm Tftlrinrnrtn anil
Bonanza Creeks was famous, and there
is plenty of gold In sight. There is
every prospect of an Immense output
of gold from this district next spring.
The total output this season Is, as
near as I can Judge, about J7.000.000,
but very little ground hns been worked,
and the dumps will, like soma of the
tailings of old California placers, pan
out thousands of dollars when worked
with Improved machinery. The placers
are the most puzzling and deceiving
I have ever seen. Imagine a man work
ing on good 'color' and finding the
ground worth only a few dollars per
day, and then turning to a waste of
mud and moss, with no surface Indica
tions, and unearthing a bonanza. That
Is the situation here and alt over
Alaska.
"The man who comes hero to mine
does so at the expense of health and
happiness, and It Is with him a ques
tion of making a fortune or chances
with death. Four hundred valuable
diggings are stretched along creeks, and
every digging Is a fabulous mine of gold.
Yet there are weary men who have
gone and returned to Dawson, after
searching the great country there
abouts, and never a nugget do they
show for their toll. In short, the miner
guesses at It, and locates any and
everywhere. In 19 ensoa nut nt 5(1 im
misses It, and has to wait another year.
-uawson is merely a collection of
log huts, saloons and a moss of tents,
about COO in number. When the long
nlchts come and the trlna rrnra rinwn
to CG degrees below zero there will be
Intense suffering here, and I shudder to
ininK or the results.
"Provisions are going to be very
scarce, anu tnere Is every reason to
believe the town will go on short ra
tions during the winter, and that
scurvy will be rampant.
"Reports of other strikes aro con
stantly received here, and many are
authentic, so far as Stewart and Polly
rivers are concerned, but nothing like
so rich as the Klondike has lmon .
ported. Quite a number of people are
preparing to leave tor Juneau, in case
the steamers cannot get through with
provisions, and tho outlook for a good
grub supply Is not encouraging."
