ithc coal mining situation in the I
burg district will be wiitch.-.l with im-
' usual interest this week. Both side
were apparently at rest today but it was
develoicd that at the conference tomor-
row there will probably Is a dlHrnption.
Ky many it in believed that rresident
Uatchford will not lie present. It is ex-
pected that he will stick to bis original
assertion that ho will not agree to arbi-
trate unless all tin? states involved are
rep r -sen ted. It is a well known fart
that the operators of other states will
not join the loeal oM-ratorn. If Uatch-
ford in obdurate the eonfcreiiee will be
useless. This in brief is the situation
and it is apparent that Isith sides are
making preparations for movements that
will be to their benefit.
From a reliable source it was learned
that if the operators start the mines on
the lines laid down mines will also le
started by the miners. it is proposed
to select operators who are in sympathy
with the strikers. They will be given
permission to mine eoal at the rate de-
manded and the eoal will be stored. By
this means it is expected to get a fund
from the union miners that happen to
be working and with this fund pay the
expenses of 11 light against imported
labor. The miners' ollieials are making
arrangements to have a fund on hand to
send foreign 'labor home ns fast as it
arrives. With mines operated under the
jurisdiction of the lalor leaders and
operators that are friendly to reap a
profit they hope to have an available ami
large fund. This plan will be submitted
1o the national officials if the conference
proves n failure.

By Five AKreMlve Din-Kern Syni-
linthy for Strikers I l I m I I Ix-il .
I'itlsbnrg Aug. 22. -Religious ser-
vices were held iu the strikers' several
camps today and all were largely at-
tended but notwithstanding the re-
ligious nir pervading the ennuis a con-
flict between workers and strikers look
place iu the afternoon in which three
strikers were badly hurt but none are in
a serious condition. Five of the men
working for the New York anil Cleve-
land (Jus Coal company went to a board-
ing house a half mile from O.ikbill tipple
where a number of strikers are quar-
tered for the purpose of persuading the
strikers to go to work. The meeting
was a stormy one ami resulted in An-
tonio I'adosowsky being shot near (lie
heart. (iirnou I'arlio was shot in the
eye and Batiste Dalmesce was cut with
a razor. The injured men are all
strikers. This was the only disturbance
recorded at the camps today.
The aggressive workmen escaped be-
fore the men on the Oakbill camp
grounds were aware of tbe tii;ht.
The reports that Sandy creek camp
will be abandoned is denied by the
strikers today anil they say fifty men
will be sent there from Plum creek and
Turtle creek. In addition to the gen-
eral missionary work for (he week the
leaders have decided to direct especial
work to the prevention of operations at
the Sandy creek mine.
The strikers say they will resume their
marching tactics in the morning claim-
ing that under the riding of Judge !off
in the West Virginia cases they are
given this right.
Samuel De Armitt says lonight that
1.0 to 175 men will ls at work in the
I'luni creek mine tomorrow.
It is announced that the New York
and Cleveland tins Coal company will
make eight more evictions tomorrow
from eight company houses. It is not
lirobablc that there will be any trouble.
The sheriff does not say tonight what
eourso he will pursue in 1 lit morning
should marching liogin. but thinks he is
ready to meet every emergency.
Sympathy for the strikers by the farm-
ers mid citizens i not diminishing in the
least. Today there were about 7(H)
visitors to the camp at Sandy creek
many of the farmers who came Stringing
wagon loads of provisions. Citizen of
New Texas sent word that they hail
plenty of food for the men and wanted
them to call on them when it was
needed.
f"?"Vliileii(1enl Thomas T TV Armitt
said tonight in referring to the trouble
between his workmen and bin strikers
that as near as he could learn the
Btrlkers had fired the first shot. The
place where the collision occurred Is a
''speak easy" and Instead of his men
going there to lntlueuce the strikers they
had been requested to go there for the

by Injunction."
Denver. Aug. 22.-The Denver Trades
and Labor assembly today adopted sen-
sational resolutions regarding the great
eoal miners' strike. After caustic refer-
ence to the growing tendency towanl
government bv injunction and the usurp-
ation of highways by the hirelings of
capital the resolutions say:
"Resolved. That we believe the time is
near at hand when peaceful methods on
the part of outraged labor must give
place to forcible resistance of armed
capital even though budged with the
venal and corrupt authority of pluto-
"Resolved. That we hereby place our-
selves on record as being to the last ex-
tremity against tolerating the present

bly in advance to abide by the decision
of the St. Louis conference and call for

Wheeling. W. Va.. Aug. 22. -The
miners employed in the peddling bank
at Bridgeport across the river have
decided to return to work Monday and
their move may result in resumption at

who are the moving cause In getting out
the peddling bunk miners will probably

On this side of the river there Is still
a complete tie-up but there Is u feeling
It can not be maintained much longer.
Among the miners and their sym-

London Finances.
London. Aug. 22-Money is abundant
although the rates rose sharply ut the
beginning of last week on the expecta-
tion of the withdrawal of gold for the
Vnited States. The quick response of
the continental exchanges indicates that
if the United States wants gold the con-
tinent is ready to supply it. and ns a con-
sequence rates cased off again.
Silver is fairly steady at 21d per ounce
chiefly owing to the Indian demand.
Only a small business has been done
during the last few days on the stock
exchange the holidays the disturbing
condition of politics in Turkey and in
India and the unsettled condition of
Wall street tending to depress prices and
to restrict dealings. There was a slight
improvement at the end of the week on
the strength of better news from India.
Consols India loans and home rails im-
proved slightly but there was no ad-
vance iu the American section where
business continues very small.

Bread Riota Probable.
London Aug. 22. A dispatch from
Paris says:
"Tbe rise in the price of bread is the
cause of no little agitation. There is
even talk of summoning a social session
of the chamber of deputies to discuss the
matter. Market rigging is un important
factor in the rise.
At Marseilles the popular excitement is
mnch greater thun in I'nris and the
mayor of the city has issued a provisional
scale of prices.
The cause of the rjse in Marseilles is
the scheme of a syndicate of wheat mer-
chants to force the government to reduce
the wheat duties. The price has risen
since last night. Today the importers
and millers at Marseilles held a long con-
ference and such is the popular feeling
that the authorities are taking steps to
prevent an outbreak.

cers it was necessary to escort them to
the place of embarkation with a strong
force which had some difficulty in pro-
tecting them from the angry crowd.

SpiuilMli Liberal Interviewed.
Paris. Aug. 22. (Sen. Lope. Doinin-
guen. who was Spanish minister of war
in the last cabinet of Senor Sagasta is
now iu Paris.
In the course of an interview be has
deeply deplored the death of Premier
Canovas. particularly because of the
war in Cuba and the general disorgani-
zation of politics in Spain. He regards
(Jen. de Azcarraga. the now premier as
a clever and tactful gentleman but does
not believe he will be able to replace
Senor Canovas as the dual task of be-
ing the head of the government and also
the head of the conservative party is a
heavy one.
In the opinion of (Sen. Domiiigue7..
circumstances will necessitate the re-
turn of (Sen. Sagasta to power as the
conservative party is crumbling largely
through the fault he said of Senor Sil-
vala the leader of the dissident conser-
vatives and of Senor Doliledo. lie said
Senor Castelar has decided not to le-
enter politics but that his service will
always be sought by both liberal and
conservative governments.
In concluding the interview Gen. Do-
mingtiez said:
'I do not believe either Europe or the
I'nited States will interfere in the Cuban
difficulty. Spain has still Incalculable
resources at her command ami tne only
thing to be feared Is that political dis-
nutes may prevent the suppression of a
rebellion which has now arrived at the
limit of exhaustion."

horses were hoping that the strong north-
east wind and heavy clouds would bring
rain and plenty of it for the rich stake for
2-yenr-olds of which about $401 UK) would

lovers of the sport longed for a fine day

in the greatest 2-year-old stake of the year
but unfortunately Hamburg will not run.

AN F.ltltOR DISCOVERED.
It Milken the Avcriiuc Price of Wool
for lstt.'l M Cents llluher.
Washington. Aug. 22. An error of cen-
sidernlile magnitude has been discovered
in the treasury statistics of wool import-
ed for consumption in lS'.l.'!. The chief
of the bureau of statistics reports to the
treasury department that iu going over
the figures for the year iu making some
special comparisons it was discovered
that wools of class 3 imported in the fis-
cal vear of IS! 13. were reported to have
been 133.1!)7.(HK) pounds.
These figures are too high by 20.302.-
(ItMt. tin error of that amount having been
inaile in entering the imports for imme-
diate consumption at Philadelphia iu the
quarter ending December 31. IS! 12. The
total imports of class 3 wools in IS'.);!
should have been stated at KNi.S'.ri.oSl
pounds.
The change made necessary by the dis-
covery will result iu raising the average
value of wool Per pound in 1S!K? as given
by the bureau of statistics from 7.0 cents
to !).." cents. The error was made iu
poiiitiiiir off figures received from Phila
delphia. Attention is called to the cor-
rection in view of the importance of com-
parisons to be made with wools of the
same class imported for consumption in
subsequent years.

Gamble of Plattsburg. When the ser-
vice was over.' Congressman Quigg. pres-
ident of the New York county republican

conference did not last more 'han ten
minutes finishing in the president's
room. Later Mr. Quigg thought he
might stay over until tomorrow and have
a further talk with the executive.
Congressman Francis J. Wilson who
is an active candidate for postmaster of
Brooklyn and is favored by Mr. Piatt
saw the president for a few minutes. At
5:30 o'clock Mr. Wilson was summoned

Hood's Sarsaparilla as does the cure of
scrofula salt rheum or other so-called
blood diseases. This is dimply because
the blood affects the condition ol aU the
bones muscles and tissues. If It is im-
pure it cannot properly sustain these
parts. If made pure rich red and vital-
ized by Hood's Barsaparilla it carries
health Instead of disease and repairs the
worn nervous system as nothing else can
do. Thus nervous prostration hysteria

SEAL SHRINKAGE.
Kenort of Professor Jordan
I.Htelj
Returned From Ilehrlim
Sea.
Portland Ore. Aug. 22. Mr.
. imvw
Starr Jordan conimissioner-in-chief of
the fur seal investigating committee ar-
rived in Seattle in the revenue cutter
Bush and passed through Portland today
en route for San Francisco. The party
left rnalnska on the morning of Au-
gust 13. Dr. Jordan reports the satis-
factory completion of the summer's in-
vestigation by the British and United
States commissioners.
He said in speaking directly regard-
ing the result of his latest investigations:
"hTe breeding grounds show n shrink-
age of about 15 per cent over the condi-
tions of last season; the hunting grounds
a shrinkage of 33 per cent. This is about
what was predicted by the American-
committee last year and the conclusions
are fully vindicated iu all important re-
gards. "The primary cause of shrinkage of fe-
males in the breeding grounds is the pe-
lagic catch of last fall and this spring.
To this is added the loss due to starva-
tion of orphaned pups in 1894. which
should this year have lived to give birth
to their first pups. This starvation in
1K94. affecting as it did in a like measure
the male herd is the cause of the dimi-
nution of killable seals on the hauling
grounds.
"The decline of the herd is everywhere
more distinctly marked than it was last
year owing to the effects nf the resump-
tion of pelagic killing in Bchring sea af-
ter the modus vivendi of 1893.
"For 1S0S the shrinkaco will be still
greater through the destruction of 1894
of unborn imps with impregnnted fe-

sealing in any particular year are stilt
more clearly felt four years afterward.
Even if nelagic scaling should be stopiwl
at once the decline of the herd must go
on until after 1900 because ot the atter
effect due to the destruction of nursing;
nnd unborn offspring.
"The pelagic Heet in Bchring sen com-
prises ulout twenty-nine vessels against
sixty-eight last year. The rejiort of tlio
catches ure unfavorable. No seizures
have been made."
