London, July 10.— Delegates repre senting 248,000 coal miners in various parts of the country met in Birmingham today to consider the proposal of the mine owners to reduce wages 25 per cent, the cut to go into effect on July 2S. As was to be expected, there was a wide divergence of views as' to the course to be followed, but after a somewhat lengthy and heated debate, a resolution was adopted declaring that the conference was opposed to the reduction. Dele gates representing 198,000 miners sup ported the resolution, while the repre senatives of about 50.000 voted against it. The delegates representing the miners of Northumberland and Dar ham, who have only recently joined the miners' federation, and the representatives from Cleve land, Cumberland and some other districts that are not affected by the reduction, urged that arbitration should be resorted to to settle the dispute. They argue that between 25 per cent and nothing there is a wide margin for compromise, and the Durham miners, with the sufferings caused by the recent long strike in that district still fresh in their minds, are not at all eager to be drawn into another contest with the mine owners. No decision was reached today on the question of a strike it the mine owners persist in their intention to make a re duction; but decisive action will prob ably be taken before the conference adjourns, which will not be until Fri day. The strike, should one occur, will be the largest movement of the kind that has ever taken place in the United Kingdom. Freight Line Abolished. New Y«;hk, July 10.— The Herald says: Great surprise was caused in railway circles yesterday when it was made public that on the Ist of the month the West Shore company's freight line would be abolished.

The line was inaugurated soon after the road was buili. and has done a good paying busines f. It operated over the Grand Trunk systed. and, with the lat ter's Chicago branch, was enabled to compete with any of the fast freight lines between here and the West. The cause of its abolishment is attributed to a recent squabble between the man agers of the West Shore and Grand Trail X when the former withdrew its passenger traffic. Gladstone Shaken Up.

FEAR OF A SILVER BASIS. Stocks and Bonds Bought in Wall Street With Paper Money- New Yorkers Charge the Quak er Bankers Six Per Cent for Money. New York, July 19.— A New York banking house received a practical illus tration this week of the distrust in Eu rope of American securities, and the fear that this country may go on a sil ver basis. In its foreign mail it received JS'J.OOO of United States 4 per cent bonds, the European owners of which did not care to hold them so long as there was a dancer that payment of the interest and principal might have to be accepted in silver. It was said that there had been other eases of this sort, and it was that which had enabled na tional banks to secure United States 4 percent bonds recently at a sufficiently low price to warrant the taking out of circulation against them. A well-known active broker today, discussing the sit uation, said he had noticed one unusual Circumstance recently. That was the large amount of actual currency that had been received at his office lor margins, and for the pur chase of stocks from occasional customers, and in some cases from strangers. Usually such payment sare made by checks eH drafts of some kind, but in numerous cased this week the actual cash was put up. In nearly every case in which inquiry was ma/le it was ascertained that the money had been drawn out of bank some weeks ago and held until the opportunity to invest it in stocks or bonds arose. The currency was mostly in ?100 and §50 bills. The situation in Philadelphia remains practicaliy^lnchauged. New York ex change is only obtainable there at from $3 to ?5 per $1,000. Some of the New York banks which have large balances to their_credit in the Philadelphia banks are jshtfrging these baiiks 6 per cent for the use of the money. If the Philadel phia banks object to pay the interest and say they cannot remit to New \ork, the New York banks lend out the money iv Philadelphia. They can do this without causing the Philadelphia banks lo encroach on their supplies of cash, as clearing house loan certificates are in use there. MIXERS STIUKE. Trouble Between ttie Strikers and an Arrued Posse. Fittsbi:k<;. Kan., July 19. — W. & .7.

Trouble is expected by the people at any moment. A miner said on the street that some one would be planted before Saturday night. Several hflndred strikers met this morning near Weir City and inarched first to the Kansas.' & Texas Coal company's Strip Tit No. 47. They were stopped by Under Sheriff Uent Douglass and Supt. A. B.Cockerill, who forbade their trespassing. At the works was a large and well armed posse. The strikers lined up at the eu^e of the premises, and Supt. Cockeril consented to allow a committee of rea sonable size to go up to the works an 1 try to persuade his men to quit The committee used every argument po>s: ble, but the men refused point blank to quit. From 47 the strikers inarched to the J. 11. Durkee Coal company's slope northeast of town, where a similar scene was enucted. The men next went to the Granat strip pit on the Cherokee Zinc company's land inside the city lines. Here the city officers joined the deputy sheriff and warned the strikers against trespassing. These men also ret used to go out, as did Grauat's men at another pit east of town, which was next visited. From tnere the miners marcl.e ! to demon's strip on the Keith & Terry Coal company ground southeast of town, demon's men gave no saUsfao tion further than a promise to confer with the other strippers, and act as they might do. The strikers then took up the line of march to Scamnion. They were orderiy and quiet throughout. Denver Did It.

Banker Little Jumps Upon His Prostrate Victim and Beats Him Over the Head With a Deadly Weapon — Most Sensa tional Tragedy. Kansas CiTY,Mo.,July 19.— The little city across the state line from here was shocked tonight by the murder of one of its most prominent attorneys by one of its most prominent bankers. A. W. Little, cashier of the First National Bank of Kansas City, Kan., ex-president of the Armourdale bank, vice president of the McNeal-Little Banking company of Outline, O. T., and director of the First National Bank of Medicine Lodtre, Kan., shot and killed Benjamin E. Johnson, one of the most prominent of the rising young attor neys of Kansas. The shooting took place about 9 o'clock this evening. Little, in company with United States Cam rnissioner Hanks, was walking down Minnesota avenue, the principal street of the town. When they approached Crinolri's drug store at No. 030, Mr. Little was seen to walk in advance of Mr. Hanks. Mr. Johnson was sitting on a bench in front of the drug store with a number of friends. Mr. Little hastened up to him, and, with an oath, exclaimed: -'You shan't hound me any more." Then he delib erately drew a revolver from his pocket, and, pointing it at Johnson, fired. The bullet struck Johnson in tho left side and caused mstaut death. He fell to the sidewalk and Lit tle ferociously jumped upon the pros trate man and beat him repeatedly over the head with the butt of his weapon. Then he coolly arose, and, ex plaining his last action, said to the crowd which had gathered: "1 was afraid 1 had not killed the scoundrel." He then gave himself up to the police and is now In jail. The cause of the tragedy is not known definitely. John son's friends say it was due to a finan cial difficulty between the two men and Little's friends say there was a woman in the case, the facts of which fully justify the shooting. Little and Johnson were interested in a new coal company which was recently organized at Huntsviile, Mo. Its affairs became tangled up, and it is said that Johnson was responsible for Little losing con siderable money in the venture and that Little took his revenge in the shooting. Johnson leaves a young wife and baby." :He was prominent in society of Kansas City, Kan., and was a prominent Knight of Pythias.

Mr. Eckels Pays a Compliment to the Banking Institutions of the State— Postmasters De mand Additional Carriers — 5,000 Suspended Pensions. Special to the Globe. Washington, July 19. — The banks of Minnesota are in splendid condition and holding far above the letral reserve. This is shown by the reports so far re ceived by the comptroller ot the cur rency from his call of July 12. Owing to the fact that no reports have yet been received from some of the distant banks, no tabulation has yet been made of the state, but enough are in to show that the strain of the past few weeks has only served to strengthen the banks of the state. In the August number of the North American Review, Comp troller Eckels, in a financial article, makes special mention of the situation in Minnesota, and pays a compliment to the banking institutions of the state. The tact that not a single national bank in Minnesota has closed its doors dur ing the severe stringency is worth much to the state in the East, and is having due effect. DUTY ON WOOL. Changes Made of Interest to Im porters. Washixgtox.julv 19. — An important change has been made by the treasury department in the classification of wool that will lower the duty on some grades of the ariicle nearly a hundred per cent. The 'change follows conclusive evidence offered by wool importers that certain grades of high class wool were practically analogous to .grades classi fied lower in the wool schedule of the McKinley bill, Hereafter the material known as 149 and 150 Flamantine skin wool and 179 Kassaubatciiia skin wool, second quality of the first or highest class, will be known as 3% and 397 Servian skin wool, and 339 Kasap uatchia skin wool second quality of the third class. The changes in duty can not be made clear to the layman through the language of the wool law, but the statement may ..be accepted as true that the duty is considerably low ered, in some cases.as previously stated, nearly 100 per cent. This statement is made at the treasury-., department. Wool growers and importers will be in terested in the extent of the change as shywn by the. law. First-class wool, winch included the" three ■ kinds trans ferred to Class 3, is provided tor' as fol- • lows: "Duties upon all wools of the first class shall be 11 cents per pound." Wools of the third class are dutiable as follows: "On all wools of the third class and on all camel's hair of the third class, tlie value whereof shall be 13 cents or less per pound, including charges, the duty shall be 32 per cent ad valorem." "On wools of the third class and on camei's hair of the third class, the value whereof shall exceed 13 cents per pound, including charges, the duty shall be 50 per cent ad valorem." Difficulty in classifying the wool known as "145 Turkey improved fleece unwashed" caused the department to omit the wool altogether from the schedule, leaving it with the appraiser to determine its quality. The value of this wool differs according to its condi tion. POOR SERVICE. Many Postoffices in Need of Ail- ditional Carriers. Washington, July 19.— The atten tion of Acting Postmaster General Jones was this morning called to a num ber of complaints of postmasters which have appeared in the newspapers re flecting upon the postoffice department because of nou-coinpliance with their requests in the matter of allowances for letter carriers, etc. Mr. Jones said there was no question that New York city and a large number of other offices throughout the country were actually in great i;eedof additional carriers and other facilities for carrying on the work of the offices, and while it would afford tue department pleasure to comply with these requests, yet, as a mat ter of fact, it was powerless to do so owing to the insufficient appropriations. The appropriations for the free delivery system of the country lor the past fiscal year were not enough to meet the proper expenses on a basis of allowances of the last year, and yet the volume of postal business was continually and rapidly increasing. The appropriation should have been iu creased in proper proportion to meet the increase of business. Only about half a million increase had been al lowed, which was $150,000 less than the increase allowed for the previous fiscal year. The average annual increase of appropriations over the preceding year from 1885 to 1893 was over 10 per cent, while the increase of the present over the past fiscal year was a little over 4 per bent. The increase in the number of carriers In '93 was over 11 per cent, this being a higher percentage of Increase than for any previous year. On Oct. 5, 1892, the chief of the free delivery seivice submitted his estimates of f 11, --811,613 as necessary to meet the in creased and increasing demands of that service. The appropriations committee of the house reduced this amount $100, --000, and in submitting their estimates for the coming year the postoffice de partment made the further reduction of $500,000. The correspondence of the department, it is alleged, shows that this was done after November, 1592. when the result of the election aacl been made known. The department, while thus hampered by short appropriations, will try to do the best possible with those in haud without favor or discrimi nation. Kept in AH Night.

Detailed Account of the Poisoner's Operations. New York. July 19.— The picture of Dr. Henry C. VV. Meyer, published in the papers, recalls to Julius Dahlmann, who keeps a small shop at No. 16 Whitehall street, the face of a man he met in Denver In 1887, and who was introduced to him as Dr. Meyer. He recognized the face, albeit Meyer while in Denver did not wear the whiskers which now adorn his visage. Dahlmann says Meyer came to Den ver from Chicago. lie was intimate with a druggist, or druggist's clerk, named Klotz. who had been in a drug store in Chicago and componnded pre scriptions for Meyer while there. Meyer practiced, or pretented to prac tice medicine while In Denver, but a friend of Dahlmann's called on Meyer to attend a child, Meyer having claimed to be specially proficient in doctoring children's ailments. When called, however, to see the child, Meyer ex cused himself, when he arrived at the residence, on the ground that the light was not good enough, as it was after dark, and he could not see well enough to look into the case, lie never called at, the house again, however. Dahlmaun also saw him undertake to perform an operation on Klotz, but he showed such utter ignorance of the use of instruments that Dahlmann told Klotz's wife that she had better send for a real physician to perform the oper ation. Meyer then abandoned it. Meyer brought to Denver with him a very handsome woman whom he called his wife, and a servant girl. They lived in lairly good style, but he did not appear to have much money. A Chi cago man .told Dahlinann that Meyer had spent nearly or quite all the money he had received from the widow of the man poisoned in defending himself when tried on the charge. .Klotz, the druggist, had come from Chicago, and was living with a virago who claimed to be his wife, but Klotz's real wife lived in the East. When Klotz died his life insurance, which was $1,000, wa3 collected by the Denver woman. Klotz, while in Denver, was the editor or a paper printed in German. Sud denly he became sick. He had been in the best of health, and was a robust, strong man naturally, but suddenly he was attacked with troubles in his throat and ulcers in the rectum, and got so he could scarcely walk. He was advised by a physician to go to Southern Cali fornia and he did so. He returned in a few weeks, apparently restored in health, but his troubles came on again, when he died. Meyer meanwhile seemed to be set tled in Denver. But suddenly he dis appeared. Two days after his disap pearance there came out in a Denver newspaper an account of his operations in Chicago. Before Klotz died Meyer had arranged to go into the druggist business with him ; he could thus put up his own pre scriptions without recording them. Dahlmann says Klotz was always hard up, and he thinks Meyer secured a hold on him by letting him have a little money vow and then. On Klotz's deatn it was supposed that he had not only /profited by his insurance, but got a dangerous ally out of the way. NO. 201. ORDERS AT INTEREST. So the Board of Control Bills Will Be Settled. HOT ROW IN THE BOARD, Auditor Burns Roasts ths Board's Lavishness. MONEY IS YET DUE TO 11 According: to the Claim of All of Its Officers. THE ESTIMATE OF THE COUNTY. The board of county commissioners had a red hot meeting yesterday after noon, and adjourned uutil a week from today at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when there is likely to be a very warm fight over the tax levy and the allow ances to be made to the seveaal county institutions. This matter, together with the board of control taugle, brought out an animated discussion i yesterday. All of the commissioners were present, but the mayor failed to i put in his appearance, and Mr. Lavalle' was called to the chair. The debate alluded to was begun when Commissioner Lavalle as chairman of the committee ou expenditures, re ported relative to the board of control : was submitted. This provided for car rying on the expenses of the alms house and hospital by having the county audi- 1 tor draw warrants on the county treaa urer for the monthly bills for the sue- ! ceeding six months. These am to be presented to the county treasurer, who will indorse on the warrants that they j cannot be paid for the want of fuuds. They would then draw interest and be- i come negotiable. It was stated that i the overdrafts of the board of control ! amount to $19,000, part of this, or $8,000, being incurred for permanent improve ments. Chairman Kerwiu, of the board of control, stated that there is a mistake in claiming that his board has overdrawn its account. He claimad that four years ago the board had an allowance of. $7,000, which they have not received, and that last year there was 18,000 put into the tax levy, which was designed for permanent improvements, but which has not yet been turned over. Auditor Burns— The board of control spends too much money, and it must realize that it must tret down to an ex penditure of $3,000 per month. Mr. Kerwin— We have to take care of the poor. We can't get down below't^e needs of the people. We investigate every ca.se. There are eighty inmate* in the poor, hospital to take care of. We turn away people and are trying to fcae^ down expenses, Mr. Burns— l don't want to see that report adopted until the committee In* vestigates the matter. Commissioner Daly— lt is impossible to regulate tfharities. We can't let peo ple starve. Some times it costs more than others aud no scale ol expenses can be fixed. Mr. Burns— They are sinking $10,000 a year in the poor farm. Commissioner Hanna— l don't want that report adopted if it gives the board of control power to spend as uiucbj money as it wants to. Commissioner Lavallee— We want to provide for an overdraft by making the accounts negotiable, because the county has no other way to raise money to uay its debts. Dr. Ancker— We are short not be« cause we have spent more money than was appropriated, but because the money has not" been collected. Ouc institution is run cheaper than an/ other in the country, and"! can satisfy any one of the fact by the reports from other cities. There was £02.000 ap-< propriated to our institutions tor 189% but we have not spent half of it. The §7,000 allowed us four years ago waa not collected, but was charged against us. We have not received the $8,000 allowed us last year for permanent im«j provemenis although we have made the improvements and paid for them. We were short $25,000 at the begin ning of this year and we have only spent £.8,000 this year out of the 155,-. 000 allowed us for operating expenses Mr. Lavalle— And if the over drafts are paid it will make $47,000. Mr. Daly observed that it is a good thing for the county that he is not on. the board of control, as he could not re sist many cases of applicotion for relict that are not now allowed. The report of the committee waa adopted by a unanimous vote and tha bills will be provided for by warrants drawn, and which will bear interest andl become negotiable. Dr. Ancker invited the board to visit the hospital and poor house, and the in vitation was accepted ana the time fixed, for 10 o'clock Monday morning. The report of the county surveyor a3 to the bids for the pile bridge and grad^ ing on Edgerton street was made, ancj by resolution of the board the contract was let to P. 11. Thornton for the grad ing and uridge at his bid of 12,554. County Auditor Burns submitted the estimate for the tax levy as required by the law. It provides for sweeping cuts in some departments, and will ouUil animated discussion before adopted It is very probable that it will be amended in some particulars by the board at an adjourned meeting to be held a week: from today. Tne estimate was evidently a surprise to members of the board, bu'l no discussion was had on the matter. Commissioner lianna said concerning it, that he is not familiar with many of the matters, but as to the road an(J bridge fund he wanted to be under stood as saying that the estimate doea not provide one-fourth enough money. The estimate provides as follows: County revenue fund 5U0.300 County bond and iuierest fund 4*> old County poor fund 30* 00ft County road and bridge fund".! 7009 Total SS2.-.010 In his statement the county auditor speaks aa follows: The aboye estimate is submitted with the knowledge that it is possible to con duct the affairs of Jiamsey county on the ligures submitted without in any manner injuring the public service. The net reduction in this estimate as compared with the estimates of ls'.i->, amounts to $50,000. and if allowed to stand by this board, and the city gov ernmeut consents to retrench in propor tion when making up its annual budget, there is no good reason why the tax levy for 18! ft should not be reduced from •20 to IS mills, as a practical starter on the road to retrenchment and refoiia ana lower taxes. The estimate makes a cut to a lame amount in the poor fund, the road and bridge fund, the advertising land, t lie tund tor taking care of the court House and i'lty hall, as well us other matter*
