A Wilkesbarre, Pa., despatch says: Tlie operators are still able to lill the places of those that deaci-t, or are forced to quit. Most of the companies have exhausted their force of company employes and are now using non-union men .more freely. It was their policy not to enlist the services of strangers until it was absolutely necessaxy. Non-union men from the large cit- ies are still coining in, most of tliein being broujfht here under cover of darkness. The sherilT called on President Mitchell on F^-iday to enlisit his aid to prevent any further overt acts by idle men and boys. Mr. Mitoliell as- sured the sherill that he would do all in his power to have the men keep the peace, and that strikers would be asked to help guarf com- pany property from damage. All the local unions, at the re- quest of President Mitchell, apE>oint- ed "guard" coniniittees, whose duty it will be, during tJie strike, to pre- vent persons from destroying pro- perty, and naore especially to keep children away from the collieries. The strike situation in the Lykens Valley region is becoming: more seri- ous. There have been many at- tempts at arson. Hundreds of yards of fencing surroundiiis collieries have lieen burned by boys and young men. 1 CONSOLS HIGHER. Britain. Congratulated on Econo- mic Stamina. A London despatch says: IVior to the second reading of the Loan Bill in the House of Loi-^s on Fri- day, Lord Goschen (Liberal and a former Chancellor of the Exchequer) announced that he desired to say a few words on the financial possition of the country. Con.sol8, which were now paying only 2 J per cent, stood at 97. Before the convention of 1888, 3 per cent, consols stood at 101. If they had been converted then they would have been worth on- ly S2, so that now the stock was rea'.y 15 points higher, and that af- ter a costly war and the borrowing of £159,000,000, the country might wen congratulate itself on a situa- tion which showed such an economic stamina, he said. The Premier, Loi"cl Salisbury, .said .such words, coming from such a high authority, were very gratifying, and would be widely read. The Cunard, Allan and Beaver Lines Unite.
