Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 10.—The leaders of the strikers here are spreading the report among their men that work will commence on Thursday, the strike being declared off tomorrow. They say that then several of the big companies which were the first to offer the 10 per cent increase will accept the propositions made by the convention at Scranton and fhrow open their mines. They declare the other companies, somo of which have not yet offered the increase, will be forced to do the same and that the whole region will be at work iu a week. They will not say what foundation they have for promising a break in the strike tomorrow except to soy it ip the talk at headquarters. Oue thing, however, verifies it to some extent. It is a rumor said to have come out of Wall street yesterday afternoon that the Reading company would be tjie first tc accept the miners' propositions and would do so tomorrow. The rumor came from the strikers here before the Wall street story wob held. London, Oot. 18.—According to * dispatch to the Centra!

The operators, however, have not the least inkling of it, they say, and have nn more idea when the end of the strike will come than when it was first started. They assert that they have not even received official notice from their employees of any propositions. As the companies do not recognize the union and cannot consistently receive any message from it they will have to bo informed in a roundabout way. President Mitchell hns distributed the notice to the three diwtrict presidents, Nichols, Duffy and Fahey. They are now intorming the Ipcal unions in their districts, and tjiese locals will inform the employees in general. The men from each colliery will then choose a con\- raittee, and these committees, representing only the men at the» mine or several mines of one owner or company, will ciill and present their demands. This will take a couple of days at least, as many of the locals have not yet been able to hear officially what was done and what they are expected to do. It will be tomorrow before all the operators will have been seen and a day or so more perhaps before they make their reply, so that an ending of the strike on Wednesday Is not at all probable. "The plan pursued by these poachers Is to take a horse, lariat, two sacks and an ax or sharp hatchet and ride into the park between the stations at which guards are kept. A buffalo Is slain, the head cut off and the hide removed. The head Is placed In one of thclsacks and the hide in another. Both are strapped to the back of the horse or payuse, which is so well trained It will go directly home. The poacher follows by means of the lariat, which is attached to the pommel of Ills saddle. In tpls way, I believe, many of the buffalo have been killed." Hazleton, Oot. 18 —An extraordinary demonstration of striking miner* tooV place lut nlgbt.

Many of the strikers here are preparing their tools, and If the ft? is no work wheu they expect it they will be Utterly disappointed. Tomorrow by an Interesting coincidence is the day fixed by Mitchell for the union to commence the distribution of funds provided the men are still on strike. This will be four weeks and three days after tho strike began, and this fact is causing not a little dissatisfaction among the strikers. Many of them declare that the union bhould have contributed to their support when the strike commenced and that having failed to do so, especially after the promises of some of the organ izers, they will have nothing to do with the union as soon as they ore bnck at work with the 10 per cent increase. They laugh at the idea of a general strike of the hard and soft coal miners next April and say the soft coal men can strike as long as they want. The men in the hard coal regions will be just wise enough ts remain at work and reap all the benefit.
