Bt fy Leader John a Shechan of Tammany Hall ad
It' & tnltted yesterday that be hnd had a talk with J.
Hi V T. Durlochcr of tho Progressive Democratlo
EC Leaguo about tho attltudo of tho Tammany
K; organisation In thocomlngmunlclpal campaign.
KM t, . bnt denied many of tho statements made by Mr.
1$ f Durlacher regarding what ho eald on that occn
KV! i sion.
E Mr. Durlochcr snlrt in hl intervlow published
m. h in frit: Sex yesterday that bo had a scries of
r " typewritten questions which ho askel Air. Shco-
K ban. Mr. Shoehonsald:
fe "NolUt of typewritten Questions has ever
B & bee'n presentod to mo. and If such n Hat wob pre-
Wbi h tented I should regard It asan Impertinence and
B, refuse to answer thorn."
K', Jj concernlngnurlachcr'astntcmontthnthosatd
Ks a the City Convention wl)l emphatically reafllrra
K.l SA tho Chicago platform.lr. Sbeehan declared:
m jf "i bare novcr told any on? what tho City Con-
K" ? renllon will do, because I do not know. Porson-
if ally I am Just as much In favor of tho Chicago
f-' J platform now as I was last fall. I bolieved In
H$ I" that platform thon, and I honestly bellevo in It
mp J. now. but I cannot undertako to say what tho
K i City Convention will do."
f ' ji Mr. shechan snld f urthor that Mr. Durlacher's
H jr statement that tho llalnes law would not bo
ML 3 starred as an issuo was absurd. In conclusion
Ht ;.". he said:
K, "Perhaps tho best answer I can mako to Mr.
Hji ::- Durlacher's statement is that It is nomenso. Ho
Hf Hs ha no statement of any kind from me and no
Kjf fr nnswor to any list of questions. Ho has ovl-
Hi. ? dently been dreaming. IfaTorod tho Chicago
B & platform last year and I havo no apology to
K f make. I am still in favor of that platform, but I
BJr- f nm not making any statements to any ono about
K 'i what tho City Convention will do."
Br- $, Mr. Sheeban Is also roported as having denied
BJl' V that ho told Mr. Durlacher that ho had in-
m '' struotod Tammany legislators to grant no fa-
K f vers to William C. Whitney, Itoewoll P. Flower,
K m and other gold Democrats.
-, & Mr. Durlaohor, at his offlco in the Cable bulld-
K f- tog, aald yesterday to a Sun reporter:
- js "I wos not fool enough to go to Mr. Sheehan
BJ' alone. Thoro Is another man who was with mo
Wk 5 andean corroborate what I say regarding what
H"; ' was said and done on that occasion. Ho Is
Bf-' Charles Campbell, a member of tho Committee
&' E on Good and Welfare of tho Progressivo
mi J-: Democratic League. Tho time of my call on Mr.
EJ 4, Sbeehan was about flvo weokB ago. At that
K' K time I was a member of tho Committee of Po-
S Utical Activity of tho Progressivo Domocratio
K League.
Bft '- "Isold yesterday that I had a series of type-
my, written questions which I propounded to Mr.
Ki ;V Sbeehan. That is true. The questions wore
B) f committed to momory, however, and tho type-
Bfe' U written document was In my pocket. Mr. Sheo-
Br S ban's answers were written down by mo after
H h the interview. There was a groat deal more In
B? :$ our. Interview than I told about on Sunday.
h' Now, Mr. Shechan Is absolutely right when ho
HE A declares that ho said he is in favor of tho Chi-
B cago platfonu. but that he cannot answer for
mR i, the action ot the City Convention on that Issue.
o V- I')) road you what he said on that subject:
CH a Here Mr. Durlacher produced his long list of
W ? typewritten questions and answers, nnd read
r- si almost word for word what Mr. Sheehan said
K , yesterday regarding his Inability to dictato tho
Bf if action ot tho convention.
K K-: "We have all hoard stuff of that sort about
m J" the Democracy of Tammany conventions and prl-
H? 'J- maxles," continued Mr. Durlacher. "and that
BB-i' question was raised several times during tho
fK course of the talk with Mr. Shechan, especially on
Bi tbesubject of the representation which the Dryan
mtr; W& men were to have In tho Tammany conventions.
KU Mr. Bheeban wanted us to go into tho primaries
tf B- and try to get delegates that way. o told him
f-K- we knew that no ticket except that nominated
BffiK by the district leader would be elected, and we
;K wanted an arrangement by which a certain
A'Br' number of our men should bo elected on the
KlBH, rurular ticket. I said that wo ought to have at
aB-B-v least one of tho three delegates from each As-
bKBtj sembly district. Mr. Campbell, who was with
Km"-.- me, said that we ought to have representation
B"-B? according to our numerical strength, which
mW"' I.-''' would give us a bigger percentage. It was then
aBrlr that Mr. Shechan conllded to me that he bad
2 a,X arranged for ten delegates from each Assembly
K fjil district, and said that the arrangement for our
Bff'K' reDresentatlon in tho City Convention could
Mmi' i? easily be made. ....
K ,-? " The idea of control by leaders and not by the
K jf masses of the organization was brought out in
B P- this suggestion and other statements which Mr.
B S Sheehan made, to the effect that Tammany Hall
mi could not stultify herself by going back on tho
K : Chicago platform tended to convinco us that
K' i? the leaders would see to It that Tammany would
B ;;i not stultify herself. We knew that the masses
KL' . j- ot tho organization stood In favor of the plat-
Bhf ' form. I wish I could let you see all of this list
E ? of questions with Mr. Sheehan's answers and
K $ yon would sco how little, warrant he bad for
:-v j-jf denying my statement. I will read same of
Kri P them."
K.V A This Mr. Durlacher proceeded to do. The first
HSt El question rotated to tho personnel of Tammany's
m' & representatl es on tho Greater New York Con-
Bki1'' v fcrence Committee, not then appointed. Mr.
mS fi Durlacher asked If some of them were not gold
UjV- Democrats, Instancing James J. Martin and
E' V. James W. Boyle. Mr. Shechan replied that they
B? '' were all good organization men; that tho organ-
I t & izatlon had declared for tho Chicago platform
B?( tl? and free Bilver at 1(1 to 1, and that they were
Bta E' silver Democrats so long as that was the Dcmo-
'. cratlc policy.
BM V Kx-Commlssioner Martin s crrort to prevent
K p Tammany from rcatllrmlng the Chicago plat-
mii ft: form In IBM) was cited as a suspicious circum-
Ki ft stance. Mr. Shcchnn said that that related
WX ej merely to a question of tho time when tho or-
K. ' ganlzatlon should act. Ho vouched for Mr.
B- Martin. Another question related to tho taking
K ' back ot ex-Mayor Clllroy and making him a
yr member of tho Kxecutlvo Committee. Mr.
3 "C Bheeban replied, according to Mr. Durlacbor's
mf.j 3- record, that Mr. Qllroy was usoful becausoof
K l bis wide knowledgo ot local municipal affairs
' h and that ho had no controlling intlucnco In tho
bsMS 7 organization.
4 !I Then Mr. Shcebnn was asked regarding tho
Ki' 'J rumor that Mellaril Crokcr is going to return
Bt i and .resume control of tho organization. Ho
H i was asked where tho llrynn men would come In
ti 'f tbon when ho (bhcehun) could not direct affairs
Vt' 'j and keep his promises with them. Tho answer
B which Mr. Shechan is said to have mnde to that
HPi W& was that there was no danger of Air. Crokcr re-
K( Ef Burning control. He said that. In tho first
Bg kf. place,, Sir. Crokcr had no wish to rcsumo con-
mi, Wfr trol, and that If ho hud, ho would bo unable, to,
K'1 R, nshe had not rnough friends In tho Kxecutlvo

Bl' mi Tlio questions n'littlng to dollar gas nnd tho
K' WP Raines law and Mr. Sliucliau's alleged answers
K K belittling tlinso Imitet were read by Mr. l)ur-
mi. te.i lachcr, who then said:

BJ t wny reference to I hnm happened to lio miulo: I
B' ii asked Mr. Sheehan liow ho muld expect tho

B '.'' Mnphatically that they had any such influcnio
B J. aasuggestod. Ho then went on excitedly to toll
B'i L how he had looked for cainiialgn funds from
BaKi y those gentlemen last year: how ho bad been led
BavC ' to hellovo ho would get boiuo until the last nm-
Vi '- ment. when, to use his onn language, he found
v'; if he 'had been jollied.' It wns then ho said:

BMv ' record. I do not puriioso making them pulillo
Bat.' X jut now, but tho time may come when J will
BBf ? navo to publish this list of questions nnd an-
BaV I awers just as it stands."
BM I Charles Campbell, who was with Mr. Dur-
Barr '" lochor when ho talked with Mr. Shechan, was
BS'' -l at thellolel Ilartlioldl lieadquarlers jeaterday

Bavw T exclaimed:
BkV "Deny itt He ran t. It's all truo. I was

BaK i' When he had read tho denial as published Mr.

Kansas City Matleaal Hank f Ommeree May
Have ai, 000,000 r Assets.
Kansas Citt, Mo., July 12. Arrangements
were comploted to-dny whereby tho National
Dank of Commorco of this city absorbs the Mid
land National Hank, also of this city.
Tho schemo awaits only the sanction of the
Comptroller of tho Currency, when It will be a
reality. Tho details of the consolidation wcro
fully agreed upon at a Joint meeting of the
stockholders of both banks held this afternoon,
and to-night a spoclal agent of all Interested
persons left for Washington to lay tho plan be
fore tho Comptroller.
lly this consolidation tho National Hank of
Commerce will becomo. It Is said, ono of the
slrongost financial Institutions in tho country,
nnd will rank with tho national banks known as
class 'J,
Tho Hank of Commerce now has assets in
round numbers amounting to $10,000,000, nml
should this union succood in carrying with it all
of the depositors of tho Midland National Hank,
as tho promotors of tho scheme hope It will,
tho Hank of Commorco will have assets of more
than 91.000,000.
S. D. Armour, a brother of P. D. Armour ot
Chicago, Is now President of tho Midland Na
tional Hank, nnd this Institution has had tho
woalth of the Armours to back It, 8. U. Armour

Thoro was a livoly Umo in tho summer col
ony at Arverno, L. I., yosterday. A bonkor'i
wife, a property owner, soma carpenters, and tho
entire police forco wore ongagod In It It canio
about in this way.
In February last Mr. Henry C. Friedman, a
banker and broker, with offices at 10 Wall
street, rontod his cottages tin Summerflold avo
nuo, near Carlton, to a boarding houso koepor.
In order to strike a bargain Mr. Friedman was
obliged to build an extension to ono of his cot
tages. This oxtenslon was tho primary causo
of all tho troublo that followed. It crossed
tho roar of tho cottage on Carlton avenuo of
Mr. IgnaU Modry, a manufacturer ofom
broldorles, on Uroomo Btreot, this city. Tho win
dows of tho extension were wlthlnt three feet
of tho rear windows of Mr. Modry's cottage.
Much Incensed, 3Ir. Modry caused to bo erected
n high, ugly fonce that shut off tho Friedman
cottage extension from sunshine and breeze.
Then Hanker Friedman, having leased frotr
Henry Hullwlnkle tho plot of ground adjoining
tho Modry cottage, built tncreon a. fence, high
er, rougher, uglier than the ono Mr. Modry had
put up In tho rear of his houso. It was a shock
ing structure, rendorod all the more hldcour
because It so detracted from the uppoaranco
of the Modry cottage, which has graceful
bow windows, and Is trimmed with artistically
carved wood.
It Is said that Mr. Friedman tried to Ioaso
tho plot on the other Bldo ot tho Modry cottage
for the evident purposo of building another
fence, but Mr. Modrv, anticipating blm bought
that plot himself. When tho banker mot tho
embroidery manufacturer on tho train morn
ings and ovenlngs thoy did not exchange greet-
Mr. Friedman's lease of tho plot of ground
next to Modry's cottago does not expire until
October, so Mrs. Friodinan says. At the apex
of the triangle formed by tho Frlodman cottago
on ono end and the Modry cottago at tho other
Is tho cottago ot Mr. Hullwlnkle. Ho is not
staying at Arverne this year, so ho leased his
cottage to another family. Iho lessee, so it is
reported, requested Mr. Hullwlnkle to rcmovo
tho unsightly fence. At any rate, Henry, son
of Mr. Hullwlnkle, arrived on tho grounds tills
morning with Carpenter Closo and three help
ers. They began tearing down tho fence that
Mr. Friedman had caubed to be built.
A number of nurse girls were patrolling Bum
mcrfloid avenuo noar Carlton avenuo at tho
tlmo. Among them was tho girl attached to
the Friedman household. She hurried homo
and acquainted her mistress with what was
happening.
Mrs. Friedman, who is handsome and young,
has snapping black eyes and a determined
mouth. She ordered her coachman to bring
out her carriage. Ho had tho rig waiting be
fore tho door In a jlfty. Mrs. Frlodman ordered
him to drive to the railroad station in search of
Arverno's police force. Not rinding it there,
they drove to tho homo of tho force, where they
found it at dinner. Tho forco rose as one man
and bowed. It couldn't do otherwise, for It Is
only one, by name Policeman Hilly Stro
scholmer. With reluctance, but obedient to tho summons
of duty, tho police force left a savory dinner be
hind and joined the determined Mrs. Friedman
In her carriage.
"Drlvo as fast as those horses can go, or
dered Mrs. Friedman, nnd with the police forco
at her side. bIio soon reached tho sccno where
tho gang of carpenters were making short vork
of.the fence. Mrs. Friedman, flushed and angry,
alighted. She approached Carpenter Closo.
w ho had just clawed out a nail and placed it In
his mouth.
"Hy whoso order, sir, are you taking down
this fencet" demanded Mrs. Friedman. Close
nearly swallowed the nail.
"Mr. H-U-U-uUwlnklc, m-m-ma'am," hoetora
mcred. "What right havo you to order this done!"
Mrs. Friedman askol, turning to Henry Hull
wlnkle. "Until October, sir, this la uirhus
band'H property. How daro you do this!
If Mr. Hullwlnkle had been daring ho was
now meekness personified. Ho edged away
from his questioner, who waved her parasol
dangcrourly near him. He took a paper out of
his pocket and tried to look pleasant. Mean
while the pollco forco of Arverne had pulled
Its helmet well down on its head, gavo Its mus
tache a tierce tug, gripped Its club, and awaited
developments, looking nothing like tho pollco
force of tho post, whose most arduous duties
havo leen to run errands for the Postmistress
And brlnu to Justice at rope's end dogs that hao
wandered from their homos.
"Missus," asked the police force, "shall I ar
rcsd dose mcnl"
"Certainly," said Mrs. Friedman.
Tho carpenters and Mr. Hullwlnkle were
"surrounded," taken to Sea Side, and ar
raigned before Pollco Justice Smith on n cbargu
of trespass. They were paroled to appear this
morning nt 10 o'clock,
Mrs, Friedman nnd the police force of Ar
verne returned In triumph. There was no
further attempt to take down tho fence. It
slnnds now a loose Jumble of boards, nnd a good
strong gust of wind might finish the work begun
by tho carpenters.

Prospects Ibr a Personal Contest Between
Uronklyn's Factional lenders Worth Is On
Tap In the County Committee, but the Wil
lis Men 8r They'll Win In the Convention.
Renewed open warfare is said to have been
doclarcd betwoon tho Worth and Willis rtopub
llcan factions In Brooklyn, In splto of tholr np
parent mutual purposo to aid the Citizens'
Union In pushing the claims of President Beth
Low for tho Mayonlty nomination. If political
rumors on tho other sldo of tho brldgo are to bo
crodltod, tho HoDitbllcnn organization therels on
tho ovo of n factional tusslo unexampled in Its
history.
Tho four rich county nominations forlleglster,
Sheriff. County Clork. nnd County Treasurer
are tho prizes dependant on tho result of tho
clnsh of tho warring statesmen. So as to draw
tho lino of battlo more closo and have tho issue
clearly defined. County Clerk Jacob Worth, so
Iho political gossips say, Is to boldly onter the
Hold ns a competitor for tho nomination for
ltegistor. whllo City Works Commissioner
Theodore II. Willis, tho lender of tho opposing
faction, is to bo his rival for the same plaoo on
tho county ticket.
Following out their factional programme, Mr.
Worth is to havo Comptroller George W. Pal
mer, City Auditor John It. Sutton, and County
Treasurer Horbort Q. Taylor as his associates on
tho ticket for Sheriff, County Clerk, and County
Treasurer, respectively, whllo Mr. Willis a can
didates for those offices are to bo Alderman
Frank Williams, Walter D. Atterbury, and
County Treasurer Taylor, each sldo. according
to this programmo, agreeing to give Mr. Taylor
a rcndinlnatlon. .....,.
If Republican politics aro to tako this shape
In Brooklyn, the rival statesmen aro sure to
havo vcrylittlo tlmo on their hands for pnrtlcl
patlon In tho preliminary work In tho Greater
Now York campaign. Neither Mr. Worth nor
Mr. Willis Is likely to worryovor tho Mayoralty
problem whllo engaged In gathorlng tho dele
gates for tho County Convention. In splto of
Sir.-Worth's apparent control ovor tho machin
ery of tho organization, tho Willis men express
the utmost confldenco that tbey will bo able to
down Mr. Worth In tho convention.
That body will comprise 020 dclcgntes. ono
from each of tho election districts as laid out
last yoar: but each delcgato will have the Privi
lege of casting ns many votes for his candldnto
for each of tho four offices ns Mckinley re
ceived In that particular district. According to
this rule, which has prevailed In tho Republican
nominating conventions for tho past four yoars,
Mr.WorthmlghthavoamaJorityofthodctegates
nnd still bo in a hopeless minority when the votes
nro counted up. And this Is tho exact condition
which Mr. Willis and his friends are predict ing
s being cortoln to prevail In tho convention.
They aver that Mr. Worth's strength has always
been in tho pronouucod Democratlo districts,
whllo their own forces aro concentrated In the
overwhelming Uopubllcnu bailiwicks, such as
tho Twenty-third, Twentieth, and Twenty
eighth wards. . ,
Yesterday tho Willis statisticians were on
gaged In some figuring, and by assigning the
delegates to tholr respective factional columns
predicted thnt Mr. Worth would run from 10,
000 to 20.000 behind the voto necessary to givo
him tho nomination for tho lucrative county
office In which. It is said, hols desirous to round

The Winning Candidate ror Mayor Mast Be a
Genuine Republican.
A handsomely cngrossod copy of resolutions
adopted by tho Republican Club of tho Twenty
ninth Assembly district In May last, on bis re
tirement from tho Presidency of tho Republi
can County Committee, wns formally presented
yesterday to Kdwanl Lautcrbach at bis ofilco
In William street. Tho Twenty-ninth Is Mr.
Lautcrbach's home district, and In accepting
tho gift ho spoke freely on tho political situa
tion. Ho referred to the fact that the ltepub
llcuns of tho Twenty-ninth Assembly district
had led In their declaration for a gold standard
lost year. Ho said that they spoko even before
"that peerless political leader, Thomas C.
Piatt," gave expression to hl viows on tho
issue which ho forced Into tho nntlonnl party
platform and on which McKlnle' and Hoburt
wcro elected. Against Mr. Plait's leadership
Mr. Lautcrbach eald all adverse criticism hod
availed nothing, nnd ho stands acknowledged
ns thu representative Republican of tho Kinplro
State.
Mr. lautcrbach said that when he assumed
tho Presidency of tho Republican County Com
mittee he had to contend with a dlscordant,fao
tionally divided party, but that there exists to
day but one solid, well-disciplined organiza
tion for his successor to pilot to victory-
Republicanism, he sain, must bo the issue in
the municipal campaign of 1HU7, as it wus In
tho national campuign last year. Tho candi
date for Mayor who stands any chanco of suc
cess, ho declared, will bo n Republican whose
ai'lful adherence to party principles is pro
nounced and well known. Ho cannot bo of those
who failed In their support of Hlalno, or were
Invlsh In their praise of drover Cleveland, but
a party man who realizes that his party will be
held responsible for his administration and will
consider that fact In nil he docs. Such a man,
Mr. Lautcrbach said, will surely receive tho
support which was accorded MoKlnley In 189(1,
nnd will desero the support of every mnn who
believes In tho principles of the party, which aro
at stake in tho coming election.

Wary or Arbitration The Wnt llrslnln
Miners Continue nt Work llrnerally,
Pirrsnuito, l'a., July 12. Tho outlook for
arbitration In tho coal minors' strlko is not good.
Bo f ar the State arbl I rators who havo arrived hore
hat o'found tlttlo encourngament. It now soems
clear that neither operators nor miners want
their differences arbitrated. Etch sldo appears
satisfied that It can win. Tho Ohio Board ot
Arbitration is composed ot Sclwyn N. Owen,
Chairman, of Columbus, who was formerly
Chief Justice of tho Supremo Court of Ohio; ex-Attorney-General
John Little of Xonla, and
Joseph Bishop ot Columbus, formerly President
ot the Amalgamated Association. Tho Indiana
labor Commissioners hore are L. P. McCormack,
ex-Prosldent of tho Btato Typographical Union,
and B. F. Schmld of Indianapolis. James M.
Clark, Industrl.il Statistician of Pennsylvania,
arrlvod from Harrlsburg this morning. I. V.
Barton, Btato Statistician ot West Virginia, is
expected to-morrow, Daniel J. Koefe, Chairman
of tho Illinois Btato Board ot Arbitration, nr
rlved to-night. Horace It, Calof of tho same
board will come later, nnd his colleague, Edward
Rldgcly, will arrive to-morrow.
Early this morning tho arbitrators were ready
to do business, and they stayed In the hotel all
day waiting tor the parties to the strlko to come
around. Four operators and no miners' officials
called. The first to come wore operators J. B.
Zerbo, Thomas K. Young, Senator nanna's rep
resentative, and ono ot tho Beadltng brothers.
"Thoy told us arbitration would be no good,"
said Judgo Simon.
F. L. Bobbins, one of the largest Individual
operators In tho district, caino last.
" Mr. Rabbins said ho was willing to arbi
trate," said Judgo Simon to-night. Of the
district minors' officials. President Pat Dolan
was at homo sick and William Warner, the Sec
rotary, was out in tho Held holding miners'
meetings. The arbitrators expeot to sco W. P.
De Armltt to-morrow. Ho is tho President of
tho Now York and Cleveland Gas Coal Com
pany, and bis miners are still working.
It becomo known to-day that President Ratch
ford of tho miners, when ho was hero a few
days ago, was asked by a personal friend what
he thought of tho arbitration scheme, and his
reply was:
"I wish these people who are talking arbitra
tion would let us alone. Wo're getting along
all right, and don't want arbitration. Not Just
now, anyhow."
Arbitrator McCormack knows Ratchford's
feelings. He said to-night:
"Mr. Rntchford doesn't want arbitration.
He thinks ho has a cinch on this strike and that
tho miners will win. I am afraid ho has
not the sure thing he thinks he has.
Tho very pnaso tho miners depend on to
gain them the strike, namely, a coal famine,
may be the very cause of their defeat. Oper
ators in tho West Virginia field aro making for
tunes to-day on account ot the suspension of
work In other fields. They can afford to offer
their miners such big wages that they will re
fuse to strike.
"Besides, I fear that tho miners in Ohio, when
they seo West Virginia coal going by them on
tho railroads to supply tho market that they
have been digging for, may attempt to stop the
transportation ot coal. If they do. It's all up
with the strike. Lot the militia be called out
and all will be over. At least that has been tho
history of strike riots.
" We want It clearly understood that wo are
not hero In an official capacity," said Joseph
Bishop, Secretary of tho Ohio Board of Arbitra
tion. " Wo simply havo come to try to bring
tho operators and miners together, hoping that
thoy may sec tho feasibility of arbitration and
chooso their own arbitrators. We don't expect
to arbitrate this thing ourselves."
Mr. McCormack's Ideas ot arbitration in this
case cover a wide field. He said:
" A differential In wages is granted to a coal
field on account ot tbo greater cost of getting
out coal, but as long as there Is a differential so
long will there bo trouble. Let one price for
mining prevail all overthc coal fields, and let the
difference be fixed up In tho railroad rates."
Late to-night none of tho arbitrators talked
hopefully or bringing miners and operators to
gether. Ono ot the operators had read care
fully the result ot the meeting of labor officials
horo last week as given out after tho meeting.
"Did you notice," said he, "that tho labor
leaders were careful not to snjr thnt thoy favored
arbitration, but only said: ' Y o havo not opposed
nnd do not now oppose arbitration' t They did
not say, ' We recommend arbitration.' but thoy
did say that thoy recommended operators and
miners to meet w 1th a view to harmonizing their
difference. If that meant anything, It meant
' We'll tight this to a finish and will confer with
tho operators and make them ncecpt our terms.'
I think it shows that they never thought of ar
bitration. It doesn't look, cither, as It the op
erators desired it."
Coi.CMiics, O.. July 12. Information received
at the miners' headquarters In this city to-day
is to the ciToct that 150,000 men have now
Joined in tho coal strike, and tho officials
say that Is only a question of a few days
until tho West Virginia miners will lay
down their picks. That Btato is to bo
the battleground from this on, and great
bodies of organizers composed of tho best In
formed miners in this State are to be sent to tho
fields of West Virginia in an effort to get tho
miners thero to join tho national organization
and join In the strike. National President
Hatchtord says ha is more encouragod to-night
than at any time since tho great strlko
was begun. Ho says that ono of tho
best features of the cooperation of other
labor organizations of the country Is the offer of
personal services. In addition to the financial
aid promised. A telegram was received by
President Hatchford to-day from Eugeno V.
Debs, offering his services, and ho will nrrlve in
tho city on noxt Wednesday evening to assist
Mr. Hatchford in the conduct of tho strlko.
A telegram was received from Terence V.
Powdorly at the miners' headquarters to-night
to tho effect thnt tho effort to arbitrate tho
differences between operators and miners nt tho
meeting In Pittsburg to dny had been a failure,
just ns was anticipated It would be, for the reason
that Do Armltt, tho Pittsburg operator, rcfusod
to treat with tho members of tho various State
Boards of Arbitration, Tho attempt to lnduco
De Armltt' s men to quit work has thus far been
a failure, and Do Armltt has given outtho word
that any miner In his employ who Is socn
talking tu organizers will be dismissed nt once.
De Armltt Is taking nil the orders for coal that
he can secure, which shows the confidence ho has
In his ability to hold his men In line. The story
that the Ohio railroads will refuso to handle
West 'Virginia coal Is again denied. The offi
cials boj- they nro only too glad to get It to haul,
Anox-Commlsslonor of Railroads of Ohio who
did not want to be quoted, but who says ho
knows whoreof ho speaks says the striking
minors will receive no material usslstanco from
tho raltropd employees, nnd thnt thero will bo
no sympathetic strike for tbo reason thnt thero
are too mauy idlo railroad mon in the country,
lleplsccs the numlier nt 100,000. Many havo
only recently secured employment. This ox
official Is now interested in a number of rail
road enterprises, and is in closo touch with rail
way men generally, so that special signltlcanco
nt laches to what he says.
President Hatchford was pleased to-night over
the failure ot J. J. Iloby, superintendent ot tho
DUluuvalo mine, to Induce the miners thoro to
return to work, which ho promised tho re
ceivers of tho Wheollng nnd Lake Erie Railroad
that ho would accomplish It ho hnd pollco pro
tection. No Wolenca hits been reported from any part
of tho country except that eight carloads of coal
which hnd been left standing on the sidlngof
tho railroad at Now-Slrnitsvillo were rut loose
yesterday and allowed to run dawn grade for a
distancuofn half mile, with the result that tho
train was w rocked.
Reports from Schick's mine, near Hellalre,
say that the miners there are still at work.
West Virginia coal continues to ho bauled by
tho Kanawha nnd Michigan Railroad, und as
sot no trains havo been stopped. Thu West
Virginia operators are advertising for more
miners. Their own men are all nt work, but
they aro unablo to get out tho orders for coal.

difficulty in securing cars enough to supply tho
demand.
To-day all was quiet along tho Ohio State lino,
but If tho strlko contlnuos vory much longer
outbreaks may occur at places wnero West Vir
ginia coal enters Ohio. To-day special officers
protected the Baltimore and Ohio lines back of
the Bollalro Brldgo over the Ohio.
The strlko managers aro working bard to sup
press Inclinations to prevent the transportation
of West Virginia coal. Somo concern has boon
aroused among West Virginia operators by the
understanding that strike loaders will appeal to
railway organizations for sympathetic action.
Thus far, however, nothing of this kind has
been attempted, but it Is part of tbo programme
should other means fall.
PAItKElisncRO, W. Vs., July 12. Tho criBls
In the coal miners' strlko In this State occurred
this morning, when tho miners In tho Palatine
mines resumed their duties. Tho operators gavo
a 0-cont advance to nil miners of that region as
tho result of correspondence between Superin
tendent Orr and President Leo of Baltimore.
Tho miners requested n 10-cent Incrcaso on
Saturday and quit work until President Lee
could bo heard from. They returned to work
this morning. Tho wholo strlko hinges on the
Wost Virginia miners, nnd the organizers will
now- go Into tho West Virginia districts. It is
declared by the miners that thero are more men
out in thnt region than there were three years
ago, and tbe loaders In tbo strike say they will
bring them out again If they can get their
attention. Falling In this, the railroad organi
zations will be appealed to.
The Boechwood miners, twelve miles south of
Morgantown, aro working on full tlmo, and tbo
managers havo advertised for 100 more men.
Now that tho demands of tho Palatlno miners
havo been made good, no more trouble Is ex
pected unless It is near Wheeling, where tho
leaders of tho great strlko are congregated.
Several train loads of coal w 111 move to-morrow
from West Virginia mines for various destina
tions. The miners ot Ohio say they will not
allow West Virginia coal to pus through that
State, but tho operators bcro aro determined
that it shall move, and Eoeni to have the Na
tional Ouard at their back It It becomes necessary
to call for protection.
In answer to an Inquiry mado at tho Adjutant
General's office to-dny it was Bald that tbe Stnto

IUIMIOADS BKIZINO COAL IX INDIANA.
Indianai-oub. July 12. The railroad com-
Sanies that pass through the coal fields ot this
tato are practically seizing all tho coal at tho
banks. The companies admit that they are
taking It, but at the same tlmo tbey say tbey
are paying bottertirlces than they have paid for
years. At the Edwardsport mines. nenrVln
cenncs, every ton of coal was seized by tho rail
road company, and tbo company entered tho
market to-day to purcbaso some for a customer,
but failed to get it- Along the lines of tho
Kvnnsvlllo and Terro Hauto Itailroad. the Indi
ana Block Coal road, and the Ohio and Southwest
ern tho companies are taking every ton of coal
that they can get. and although the coal com
panies say that this Is a seizure, they add that It
makes no difference to them, as they are getting
their price for it. In the towns ot thcStato
where cohI 1b used for manufacturing purposes
tho supply Is very short, and tho seizure by the
railroads w HI make It Impossible for them to
get fuel to carry on their manufactories.
Tbo miners believe that the companiosand

Tho mystery surrounding tho supposed foun- Ij
derlng of a Bloop yacht off Long Beach, L. I., on L
Sunday afttrnoon wns cleared up yesterday, W
Tho tw n men on tho Bloop were taken off In the s'
storm by tho Bchooner Magic, (Jnpr. Carroll, and
wcro landed at Iho Krlo dock, Brooklyn, at 3 l
o'clock yesterday morning. Thoy nro Clifford h
L. Miller of 02 Wost Klghtynlnth street, a J
dealer In builders' materials, nnd It. A. 8tac- ;
poolo, a lawyer, whoso ofllce Is at 2 Wall street. 1
Tho sloop is tho Conuulosco, a thlrty-ono ,
footor Jointly owned by Mr. Miller nnd Sir. .
Stncpoolc. Sho Is now rolling In tho hoary Boas It
with two anchors out, two mllos from Hog Ial ft
and Inlet, and Is half full of water. I
Mr. Htacpoolo went down to Long Beach yes-
terday afternoon to seo what could be done i
toward saving tho Conqulcsco, but he learned j
that it was impossible to reach her until the S
hoavy sea that was still running after Sunday's j
blow had gone down. In talking of Sunday's m
experience last evening ho said:
"Mr. Miller and I fitted tho sloop oat tor a
two weeks' cruise down tho Long Island coast,
and wo set ont from New York on July 4. We t
mado stops at Moriches and Pntchoguo, anchor
ing at both places over night. On Sunday f
morning wo left Patchogue for a day's
blucflshlng off Fire Island. Wo reached Fire 1
Island about 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon, and m
wore standing ofT and on shore, having run j
Into a school of fish, when tho storm burst upon ?
us without warning. It heeled the sloop over
until the lco rail was burled in the rushing ,
water, and tho second or third puff gave her ff
knockdown,
" In an incredibly abort tlmo the wind hod
kicked up a sea that was uglier than I would I
voluntarily try to weather In so small a vessel E
as tho Conqulcsco. Besides, we hadn't bad time
to put n reef in tho mainsail, and under main- fj
sail and two jibs things lookod dark for ns from E
tho start. I thought sbo would never straight- A
en up after thnt knockdown, but wo Jammed fj
her head tip Into tbo wind and she slowly re- W
covered, and darted through tho big wares like .,
n greyhound. But each moment tbe fury of the
storm increased and tho seas ran higher, and it
was not long before our position become a jf
do-pcroto one. Big masses of water rolled la jj
upon us, and under the tremendous press of sail
tbo sloop was unmanageable.
" It was at this point, when we had almost S'
given up bone, that we sighted the Magic a s
milo away. To attract her attention we fired B
the little brass cannon on tho Conqulesco's after W
deck. They heard the signal of distress and J.
hooded for us. As tbe sloop was now labor-
Ing frightfully and seemed about to foun- g
dcr we threw out onr anchors. They held, 5
and swinging tho yacht's head Into the sea we if
mode a little better weather of it while waiting h
for tbe schooner to come to our rescue. When I,
she did reach us it was a long time before aha s
dared come close enough alongside for Mr. Mil- f
lcr to leap aboard. Ho carried a lino with him, J
and, making It fast, the Magic headed for port, 3
towing the Conqulcsco In her wake. I stayed 3
on the sloop.
" We hadn't gone an eighth of a mile when 1
tho hawser parted and tbe yacht fell off Into 5
tho trough of the sea. The Magic put about
and gave chase again, vainly trying to pass ma
a line. H
"After the nselesancss of the attempt became '
apparent Capt. Carroll tried to come alongside i
tbo sloop close enough to enable me to board tbs t
schooner, it took a good hour's manoeuvring J
before he succeeded. Then he headed for New ',
York once more, and landed us in Brooklyn this J
morning. i
"Mr. Miller got away from the Conqnieseo
with only his shirt and trousers on; I had little k
more. All our clothing, watches, money, and t
other valuables are on tbe sloop, which has lost J
nil her standing gear, but wo wlU try to reach
her to-day and hope to recover our personal S
belongings at least, f
"The Magic chased ns fully two miles be-
fore we dropped anchor and waited for her to E
come to our assistance Our escape was amir- g
aculous one, nnd the Magic stood by us nobly, c
but I guess Capt. Carroll has no cause-now to 5
regret that he picked ns np.
"Wo havo notified Capt. Richard Van Wick- B
len of the Long Beach llfo-saTlng station to pro-
tect the yacht, and ahe will be towed Into this S
port to-day If It can possibly be done." ?
One of the Single's crew said that the peril of
the Conquiesco was duo In large measure to tho t
Inexperience of thoso on board her. "As soon
as we took them off." he added, " the sloop made
rod enough weather of It. She's afloat yet, but
guess she wouldn't hare been If we hadn't
come along when we did." t

" You talk about your ' home umpires I' " eay S
George Decker. " I had an experience with one
of them one time that was a home umpire and co I
mistake. I guess pretty near every Indicator I
handler on Uncle Kick's staff has been accused I
this year of being a home umpire, but If
you'd seen tbo boy that I was against
perform you'd admit right there and I
then that he was tbe only perfect I
specimen of a home umpire in the world. -
"It was three years ago this coming fall that
I ran across this chap I'm telling you about. It ;
was just after the closo of the League season,
and a certain Hoosler team had sent up to Chi- )
cago for a battery with which they could go over
and trim a team of deadly rivals that were lo- i
catcdln Lafayotte, Ind. Abbey had been pitch- ,'
Ing for Anson that summer, and he and I heard j
about tbe request for a battery and soon fixed
up mntters whereby we were to don the uniforms
of the Hoosler team and lead them to the much- k
desired victory over Lafavetto for our expenses i
and a consideration. Well, down into Indiana
we went, and after Abbey and I arranged our '.
Bigns I put on n mask and tbe game started, !
with nono of the Lafayette fans suspecting j
where wo hailed from. t
' The man who had been agreed upon to urn-
plre the gamo was an old fellow with a set ot I
gray w tuskers and n checked suit ot clothes that '
even a boy from tho Bowery would blush to
wear. Ho was supposed to be tbe boss fan ot tbe
tow n, I believe, and. as no outsider could be se
lured, the captain ot the team we were with
agreed to tho old fellow after Abbey had called
him oft to ono side and assured him tbere was
no chance for us to lose anyhow. That umpire
was n peach! Ho evidently realised that he
wns thoro to go with the homo team on every 1
possible occasion, and some of his de- I
clsinns were certainly corkers. Abbey was I
in pretty good form that day and tho Lafayette 1
team couldn't do very much with blm. while our
team found the other pitcher easy, and by bang- I
Ing tho ball out where thero was no chance for
an argument with tho umpire managed to got
well off In the lead. In the last couple of Innings
the homo team nnd tbo umpire grew- desperate,
aud nfter sending one of the Lafnyotto players
to llrst on balls that wore strikes, be called
another ono safo when bo was out by ten
feet. Thero Is when he made the star de
cision of tho day. One of the home batters
hit a llttlo easy bounder down to Abbey, and
ho snatched It and sent It fast to the drst
hascmnn In order to beat the runner out so far
that there would bo no chanco for anynrgument
on the out. Tho runner wns only half way to
tho baso when the ball got there, but thnt didn't
mako much difference to tho umpire. The old
follow scratched his head for n minute nnd then
motioned the batter, who hnd stopped and start
ed Ikick, to the bench, to iro on to his base.
" ' What's the matter I" asked Abbey.
" ' He's Hnfel' sttld Mr. Umpire.
" 'Hifol How do you make that out I'
" ' Look nt j our rules,' replied his whiskers,
"' Well, what's In tho rules that makes blm
safof aiked Abbey.
"'Why, Just this," said his nobs In tho check
ered suit as ho dug up n copy of tho rules and
shook It In the faces of nil the team, who had hy
this time gathered round him; 'thrso rules siy Tj
thnt tho lull must lw thrown to first to put the
runner nut I '
" ' Well, hat did I do-klck it there I' roared
Abbey.
"'Wull. you didn't throw It,' said Mr. Urn- 1
plre. as ho pulled nut his watch, 'You pitched 1
ill I'll give ) ou the minutes to play bull!'" 1
