IN THE HOCKING VALLEY.
The Operators .Watchliur the Mines '
With a (iatliiur ('tin and Freez- I
'• " ins: Out the Strikers.
Special Telegram to the Globe.] '
Logan, O.,Dec. 3.— To-day's investigation
of the mining troubles reveals the faeta that
the destitution of the starving families is on
the increase, aud it will 'out aa Ion? ere a
climax is reached in many cases. The sup- :
ply of bone coal is fast disappearing,
and the fnczlng-out process bids
fair to rid the Hocking valley
of the unfortunate .miners and their
children. No relief la tWe sliapj of clothing
and food, other than the meager supplies
furnished by the commissary, has been re
ceived, and there teems to bi* a tardiness in
this matter that is little short of criminal.
The representation of the de-t tution made
recently is not overdrawn a whit. Hot a
hundredth part of the story has been
told, and it ie a shame that there is not a
prompt respouse to the appeals that have
been made coincident with ihe descriptions
of destitution,
The operators arc heartily tired of the im
ported miners they are trying to work. They
admit privately that the new men are ruin
ing the banks, and that they would
like to get the old miners b-ick,
but the fact is that the operators
arc too high strung and obstinate to make th.
least concession. The only 'concession that
is ■abed by the miners is that they shall be
allowed to go to work without si^uinir a con
tract that deprives them of their manhood,
yet the operators prefer to pay about a hun
dred Piukerton guards ISadtjla addition
to the salarif sof 200 other guards and the
expense of a patrol train, which, with other
extras incidental to the present regime, Is
enormous. By the way. that patrol train
carries a gatline gun. It is manned by two
men, and there ure on the train' twelve men i
men armed with Wluohester repeating rifles.
So much has been said about the wages
miners earn that it may be well at this time
to give a little information on this subject
that comes from practical miners and not
from theorists. Since the advent of the coal
syndicate the meu are not paid anything for i
cleaning their rooms of bone coal, bailing j
out water, sitting posts or laying track. A !
miner may work nil the morning at bailing
bis room in order to free It of water bo that
he can mine coal in the afternoon. .Some
days he does not get out to the hopper any
coal at all. He works away blasting
and getting ready for the little
cars that are dragged into the mine,
aud may be he will have by the next day
enough coal to average up two fair days'
work. The miners frequently worked twenty
one hours a day. The haulers' day Is ten
hours. The miner is paid by the ton for the
coal that be sends out to the hoppers. All of
the coal is run over a screen, which
Is. one inch - aud a quarter between
the bars. All of the coal that
falls through these screens, and which is
called pea and nut coal, is not paid tor by ,
i the operator. It is mined for nothing and !
is Bold at a clear profit. It hi the testimony
of several miners who claim to have kept an
account that the 'money realized from the
gale of this fine coal pays the running ex
penses of a mine.
Mexican Finances.
Mexico, Dec. 3. Pies idem Diaz has
raised sufficient funds for the temporary
needs of the treasury and will pay the govern

arrangements with the national bank to re

will leave greater part of the customs reve

und r heavy local buying, chiefly on long
account, and vain •« were advanced *35c on
tin I -.unary option a« compared with yester-
day's Übt figure, closing o'2}£e higher.
Lard was quieter, but closed 10:: higher, and
ribs were up 20(<r.M;<c at tbi clo«e. Wheat
was fairly active and ctronc, closing at»oal
;\e higher thsn on yesterday. Year corn

tendency to check advances. A private dis-

reived on 'chance that rates from Missouri

The comment is ma te that such a re
ductiou can't fail to result in very heavy n
eeipta. Refirrins: to the reduction of 5<- per
hundred in freight rates on grain from th
Missouri, A. M. Wright said this morning:
••The action it. voluntary ou the fart of t..

• lie granger 'ej.-i-lKtun.* of the country. Hy thii
iu»eniij the rale Sc they may avoid le){isUti.>
opposition, which would cost them more."
At the end of the first hour there was an
advance of about *£c from opening figures—
74c for January — and the longs commenced
to realize on cheaper wheat bought yesterday.
This brought about a decline to 73,'^e, and
then the shorts began covering and the scalp
er* went lone, with the result of a gain, ad
vancing prices %@f{c from which they set
tled off to 7-Hic at the close of the morning
board, but recovered J£c to 74 -% cln the af
teruoon. February and Mar followed about
the same course as January, February doMnt;
at 75 a 1 and May at Sl;\'c. The heaviest
buyers were Lester, Gaylord, Brossesu and
Poole & Sherman. Lester bought 50,000
bushels of January from Hancock at 74 3% >.
and is reported to have sold the same to
Roche a few minutes later at ?4%c. David
D >u> and Miimine & Bodman were the most
prominent sellers. It is reported that Ar
mour owns most of the cash wheat, and I
h->d tig It to make carrying charges. This
makes some of the boys apprehensive of a
squeeze in the course of a month or so.
Oan was active but ratht-r lcvrrii-h, the
demand Ix-ine ehietly from shorts who felt
Uoaay over the small receipt* and small p«-r
--eeatasjs trradinir contract. We only had 236
ears oi corn to-day, and out of this only four
teeatean traded at> No. '2. Liverpool was flrm
on corn, St. Louis higher for December,
and New York sU-ady. The farmers arc
putting all the corn they can into pork, and
bo ttieir salt-4 and shipments will no douM
contiuui* HflM until necessity compels them
to part w ith their holdings, tb.mgh the n
duc-tioii in freight rates, if report be tru<-,
will undoubtedly stimulate shipments some
wtmt. To-day year showed tbe greatest ac
tivity. It o.^-ncd higher at 35Xc, ad
vanced lc, then lell off )^c, only to recover
!{e and close at S6.^c, Xc above yesterdny.
Tu«- defeired deliveries were steadier. Ma\
opt uing }{c higher at 87^c, advancing to
3TJ^e and clotlng at 8T^ C . Murray, Nel
son, Lawron Bros, and Love were probably
tut- tu-aviebt sellers, and Hepburn, Baxter
and Counsi-lman did considerable buying.
Oats were quiet, the only change worthy
of note being a drop of *£c in December to
24#c
l'ork is being giTen a whirl now. The
floating crowd of traders who will fill up the
' ... at pit when them is excitement there or
j.iiii into the corn gang when there in action
there is now circled around in one little pro
vUiou pit. it looks liKe good old tlmet.
There is, in the first place lots of trading
and, in the second place, lota of guessing,
and this latter always brings in plenty of
com missions. Uenry Warner and Baldwin
and George Brine and Frank Crittendeu and
t c other provision brokers were looking
happier than at any time in tbe last half
year. Tlie pork trade was chiefly concen
trated in tbe January and February options.
The former opened 2'iJ^c higher at $11.55.
and, uiid r free eoßßfaag by shorts, advanced
to Ill.fTJf, tbe top notch of the day, from
which it settled off to a close of $11.85,
against til. 32}*' yesterday. February opened
l(k- higher at 11.55 and before 11 o'clock
soid readily at ti1. 90, later running up to
BISJYJf and finally closing at tll-95. Sid.
X ut was probably the largest buyer, and be
was supported by such traders as Raycond
and B-lJwia, with of course tbe usual num
ber of taih-rs.

"Oh, the packers are whoopiog it up: want

Ernest Smitb declared excitedly that Arm

which, before- last year, was set down ar the
one they were sure to follow. For example,
it used to be looked on us cerUin that the
packers would sell the market down in Octo

that the Mahdi la dead and his followers are
dying Cut. _^_
El Mabdi, who bu been for some time the
terror of lower Egypt, a few jean ago an
nounced himself as the successor of Ma
uumrt and a trifle better than the original
prophet. He occupied a Terr poor position in
life, has been a hermit for * some time, and
crept nut of bis bole to hoist the banner of
the faithful and wage war against the infi
dels. The oppressions under which the
pashas bad suffered at the bands of the
Turks was the immediate cause foi his pop
ularity, and thus, when the Muhdl announced
bis divine authority for raising a jehad upon
toe Turk, be bad first the sympathy
and later on the adherence of nearly all the
tribes. At the first signs of trouble Osman
Ll.'tna appeared with a commission from the
Mabdl, and went round preachlutr war
against the government. He got about 300
followers together, and was proceeding to
threaten Sinkat, when Tewfik Bey. an ener
getic Caucasian officer, pushed through to
that place from Suakim and took com
mand. He defeated o«man DUrma,
who was deserted by all save 150 fanatics.
These Tewfik Bey again attacked and de
feated, and probably would - finally bavr
crushed the rebellion bad be not been recalled
by lei man nsba. the governor general,
who wished to try the effect of diplomacy.
By tb« Ist of October, 1183, Osman, while
rfknusing Suleiman Pasha with futile
negotiations, had got « together another
horde of followers, with whom on that date
be surprised and utterly destroyed two com
panies of Egyptian troops that were marching
to Bid Wat. This success at once set the whole
country in a blaze. Tokar and Sinkat were
iced, and Egyptian authority in the east
ern Soudan ha* completely disappeared.
The Tobacco. Clause. in the Spanish
Treaty.
Kkt West, Dec. B.— Florida Stm says
of the tobacco clause in the Spanish treaty:
If the treaty is ratified by the senate with
this clause, Key ■ West is a doomed city. It
would close up every cigar factory, force
about 7,000 of oar citizens out of employ
ment, and entail a loss of about 1*2,000,000
in properly.

rSeeeiai IMajnai to the r.lnV.l
W.-ni\..Ti v. Dec 3.— "What will con
en-ss do, no* tbatit hi h-r»- a-^tlni" Is th*
qn«-»Uou Btked everj d.iy. Th" impression
mn«t widrly prevalent la that it will do
nothing of importance more than the p*i**
age of the appropriation « V.-. It ha-« « pretty
SPri.m-4 task before it in this alone, fur then
is tb<« bugbear of the naval appropria
tion bill, with it-< million* for com
mencing » new navy. This must be
dUpoted of In sonic way. Congress, it will
t>- remembered, failed to act on tbe :!!»■>!
! eeaaton. merely na»*tlnj; a measure rontin
u<n; ibe old appropriation In force until thi»
time. *Xu* another measure will probably
be pasM-ti, makinc another temporary ex
tnuimi for a few day* or weeks. It will
I hardly be. however, that the question can be
dojjrcd in tbl* manner for any aaaMßßMablt
time, and same t'me during* the ■eaatoaj it
' must be met Tbi« will probably tak<
e«'i!«.i if rubl ■ time, and, with the other ap
propriation trea«urea to be fought over ,i»
luvy .i!w a, ■■ are, tue time of the session «ril
be pretty well taken up. Talks with the
members of the Dm ; critic side show a dia-
I o-:iluu on th.- pan of very many of them to
do very little thU session. "We shall proba
bly pas» the r»priations Nil and tret ready
for the inau.'ur .; of our Democratic pre»
dent," they generally say, and tL.it seems tii«
'■*■ about the sum total of their expectation.
TBE THRKITDUIAI. KSDCKINO.
It is understood, however, that the lnha»
iUnts of several rrttories kuocklnz for ad
mission will make a desperate effort for
recognition, basing their claims upon vote*
as shown at the recent election*, the presi
dential enthiiMaarn In the states haviue
.dually stepp :d over Into the territories and
warmed up the people there in their local
contests, so that the vote this year is unusu
ally law, and an excellent opportunity I*
presented to make a good showing In favor
of admission.
TIIE BONDED PERIOD.
The whisky people, too, are contemplating
mother raid on congress. They will firm
try for a reduction or removal of the tax, an. 1
•bould this prove unsuc*ssful, they will
probably make another effort for an exten
sion of the bonded period . This will. It I.*
thought, be more easily accomplished thi
\ear than before, for a congress, just com
pleting it* work with the Question of re-elec
iou not bantrlnir as a pall over the member*,
will do many things that it would not do last
year. On this theory, there are a
number of "jobs" that .ire expected
t<» be got through, while, on the other band,
there are many measures of the buncombe
order which will not be likely to pass now as
before election.
NO ADJOCRNMENT.
It Is hardly probable now that congress
will be persuaded to adjourn for the opening
of the New Orleans exposition. The presi.
lent, it Is announced by authority, has
.•iven up the thought of at
tending the opening, finding
bis duties so pressing here that he cannot get
siraj. It was no surprise to those here that
ne did so, for It Is his habit to hold out ex
nectatlons of this sort to the last and then
find that be cannot co. The result will prob
ably be that the house will get to work on
*ome of the appropriation before the boll
lays, a thin*; almost unprecedented.
TUB DISTINCT DEMOCRATS QUIRTED.
The national Democratic committee has
nipped in the bud the quarrel among the
district Democrats over the Inauguration
matters, by appointing some of Its member*
to take charge of the inauguration business
keeping open Its headquarters here from tbU
time until after the inauguration. This will
put an end to the local quarrel over the
matter and insure a successful event.
TnE IVAfCVRATIOS BALL.
Gen. Meigs has been appealed to by lead
ing men in both parties, and has made up
his mind that he can get the pension building
in shape with a double canvass roof and
a temporary floor and a generous
heating arrangement, and the inaugural
ball may be hell there. The ball room
which this will furnish will be a huge one and
will cover 35,000 square fret. The prome
nade about it will be nearly a quarter
of a mile In length. The Interior
will be handsomly decorated with flags and
banners, and it will be one of great interest
and beauty.
