Jumbo, at i Knightsville, was surrounded striking miners yesterday, and the miners at work driven away, is not true. It is true, however, that intimidation has been resorted to by some of the strikers and threats made. There are fifty-four miners a work in the Jumbo having week. The capacity orthe mine is two nunured. but the way or ders came in for some months be fore the strike, not more than half that number could get steady work.

The fifty-four now at work are busy and are making good time. There is about the same number of miners at work for different block coat miners in this vicinity, all at the opera tors-oner. 1 heir numbers are increasing. 1 his. of course, is a danger that the strikers have anticipated and guarded against so far as posHioie to uo so i ne nave praviucu a method of relief tor the extreme cases of destitution, by permitting all mines to start up that would pay last year's scale (5 and 90 Cents without asking the operators to sign a yearly scale.

A Considerable number of min ers will go to work, or have already dome so, on the proposition. i All the bituminous and semi-block mines are running at their full capacity in this county, as well a in Greene, Owen, Sullivan 'and Parke Counties. The strike is on among the blocs miners exclusively. The report that Coxville mine No. 1 had been compelled to shut down because the trappers.

A mem ber of a soliciting committee savs there are now 5.774 dependents, and that tor tne past three days the average receipts in tne way of relief has been six cents, or two cents a day. The approach of winter makes their necessities greater. Still the miners seem confident of winning, while the operators are apparently pleased at the per cent, of miners who are going to work at their terms.

Tha blua Bag of Bear Admiral Oherardl was not flying. la on board tha Galena tju in lisytiaa waters. One of the officer of the Kearsarge said: "The election of Deputies took place September 10, and as they are to meet to elect a President September 20. Admiral Oherardl concluded to remain with tha I Galena until ater the excitement over the elections had subsided. The Galena will probably be here In about three weeks, There seems to be no doubt of Hiopolyte's election, but the foreign residents are apprehensive that the trouble will break out airain in a few months, owing to a lack of confidence In Hlppolyte and his advisers." It is predicted that another revolution will take place In the next two years.

The Ad-Tnirafsnd his staff made an official rail on Hlppolyte; sod-the latter pledged his irit-nd-Bhip to tha United States. Captain Kdward M. Shevard, the commander orthe Kearsarge, said last evening: Tbere was some expectation that there would be noting in the streets of Port-au-Prince at the close of tha struygl.e. and Admiral Gherardi bad the vessels drawn up close io the shore with the guns grained on the town, and all arrangements made to land the men, but this was not necessary. I never jieard of a revolution which ended -more quietly than this in Hsyti.

"Whatever disturbances occurred were of a. trifllngjhnracter. I hafVe Hlppolyte and he struck me as a man df much determination and as being a good deal of a politician. I have no doubt Hippolyt will be' elected President again.

Thing are evidently cut. and dried. Down In Haytl they know how to tlx things, a the politicians doi in xAher parts of the world. When Hippolvte iaieh-cted, mat-tern will remain quiet lor some time, and it will appear as if there were a general acqui-. esence Co bis rule.

"We had tha hardest kind of service while 1n IMiytian waters that could be imagined. "We had no diversion of any kind, and strict quarantine regulations -were enlorced all the time. The health of the men has been excellent. We lost only one member of the crew during the trip a boy named Chapman who fell overboard and was killed by striking against the propeller.

We did not experience any part of the late storm on our journuy home, but from the waves we concluded that there must have been a big blow somewhere."

Yesterday a street gang down tutu cue LIED worK, MrC into the Eighteenth 'Ward to do some repair oy was on hand when the men arrived, and he.

immediately proceeded to take them tn charge, keeping ln view all the time the clinching of doubtful vote. After the city -employes had been working under the Little Boss lor several hours, some ol th Republican in the ward began to object and started to the Street Commissioner' office to enter a protest against Coy being allowed to manipulate the city employes in the Interest of his candidacy. To-day the of workmen has been moved out of Sim's ward, but It was allowed to remain there long enough to give Sim an Opportunity to have tho streets repaired ln front of the houses of persons hose votes he wanted. In accordance with the established rule of years, the Street Commissioners' Department Is showing sign of invigorated life just before election. All the gang candidate for Council, whether Democrats or Republicans," must, have the Commissioner give them a little boost before election day, and there wiil be more hustling on the streets during the next three weeks than for the past three months.

Truster, of course, will tet all the assistance from the street Tforce he wants, and Burns, Pearson, Finch and others of the. gang will be yimong the 'ones most favored.

The pay-roll of the Street Department forthe next three weeks will be interesting. It won't be submitted to the Council until the campaign fought.and it isn't likely there will be any effort made to keep' it down.
