do not wnnt to participate actively In
a losing gnmc. Tho main elTorts of the labor

bo to Induco trainmen to give recognition to the
trlko cause. Tho result of tho Dobs movement
of 1803 it still alive In their memories, nnd they
will bo slow to respond to n call thut may moan
tho disintegration ot their organisations.
To-day's dovolopments In tho coal strlko war
rant the positive state nient that West Virginia
will not becoma a striking unit. Tho number ot
tnon working in the great Monongnh tlclds has
been Increasod by nt least 200 who went into
tho mines to-day. Tho eighty men who went out
of the small peddling mines this morning are ex
pected to return at once. Thoy say that they
were betrayed by mon at other mines who prom
ised to strike to-day. To-night Dobs spoke to
an Immense audience In this city. Hisspeoch was
uniformly quiet, but nt times ho waxed strong.
Ho said ho was an agitator, and regarded tho
present as tho time for American manhood to
, assert itself. Ho said his hopos wero for suc-
t cess, and every day showod progress in tho
miners' strike. Tho conforenco ot labor lead
er to-morrow will open at noon, and it is
pretty certain that the effortsof thoso attending
will bo directed to effecting a union of all organ
ized labor In behalf of tho striking miners.
Mora men returned to work in tho Norfolk and
Western district to-day. The strike agitators
appear to have abandoned that field.
PiTTSBUita, Pa.. July 20. Thoro will be a
large attendance of coal operators at the meet
ing to be hold in the Court House to-morrow.
To-day they arrived from Cleveland and Chi
cago. Most ot them talk as if they would do
their utmost to put through the uniformity
agreement.
Col. W. P. Rend ot Chicago thinks that the
meeting will not bo on lines broad enough, and
he will endeavor to have the wage question In
I eluded. The Colonel says that uniformity in
mining rates practically exists, although he ad
mits that some operators still run company
stores. He said:
"What Is this uniformity agreoment to me.any-
howl The strike In Illinois was not caused by
thesamo grievance as that in Pennsylvania.
Then, according to that, different means will
have to bo considered to settle it there. As far
as the uniformity plan itself is concerned.
1 am in favor ot what it advocates. I
control no company store, and pay my men
B every two weeks in cash. I have advocated the
'"& system of check weighmen for years. What
B mora do the miners want I They want an in-
H crease In wages. The conditions which -caused
I the strike in Illinois were that the onerators In
jt southern Illinois cut prices so deeply that tho
PK operators in northern Illinois were compelled
I to cut the men's wages in order to compete with
I them. That is where the wholo trouble lies,
f. and I am sure that tho uniformity agreement
f?. can bavo no elTect on it. However I am willing
?Tus to agree to uniformity if it is one of the means
If f of settling the strike.''
fl A call for a meeting of W. P. Do Armitt's
I miners was issued this morning by the miners'
I officials. It Is to be held on Thursday, It la un-
nounced that Coroners, Debs, Garland of the
Amalgamated Association; Connaban, na-
tional Secretary of tho Plumbers' Union;
Carrick of the Painters' Union and others
H will speak. Tho miners' olllclals had
abandoned tho idea of trying further
to Induce De Armitt's men to come out, but
they wore persuaded against their own judg-
nient to issue the call. Tboy hardly expect tho
meeting to be attended by Do Armitt's men, but
! hundreds of strikers inwoiking clothes will be
.4m present. It was only a rumor that caused the
deputy Sheriffs to go to tho De Armitt's mines
H last night. The strikers were not marching on
I the mines, as reported.
iNDUNAitiua. July 20. Tho report of tho
I commission appointed by Gov. Mount to invest!-
M gate tho condition of tlio striking toiil miners
I H wus tiled with the Kxccutlvu to-day. They
1 Hi nnd that the present condition has been
) brought about by repeated reductions In
J H wages and quote operators to show that sharp
1 BB competition between them caused tho reduction
I Uj and brought about the conditions of which the
I n miners complain. The commission llnd that
I ! there are many families In the mining districts
I 11 tl'''t ale entirely dependent on local charity,
I In and that actual suffering has been prevented
I Hi only by roller thus extended.
L B " Considering the necessities on the basis of
1 H families," says tho report, "wo found that if the
H present condition of idleness shall contluuo
IB much longer tho idle mining camps In the six
IBM counties will have 1,1)17 families In need of
mm relief with an average of four to the family.
I This would require that relief be furnished
Wl 7,788 persons, to say nothing of the miners hnv-
I lag no fumlllos, many of whom aro In hard lines."
I immediately following the submission or the
J report, tho Governor lousulted with tho Com
al misrloncru and determined to issue an appeal to
I, the people of the Utate for aid.
Altoona. Pa., July 20. About 500 miners in
Ithe Hastings coal district went outon a strike
to-day, their grievance being that they are re
quired to dig one cur lu live for tho superintend-
cnt, for which they receive no pay, Tno foreign
i minors, who threatened to burn tho coal tipple,
were placed under arrest, mid their comrades
1 threaten a riot If they urn not released, Super-
I intendent Musscr of the Cumbria uilno has pro-
I cured a consignment of rifles with which to arm
J the mine guards.
Gov. Hastings is president of the company
which leased the mines to the present operators.
The miners Intend to appeal directly to the Gov.
ernor for an adjustment of their grievances.
About 1,500 miners in the northern Cambria
region hove gone hack to work, their demand
' for rheck welglimcn having been granted,
CoLuunua, O.. July 20. Presldont Hatchford
of the miners left tonight for Wheeling to at
tend the conference of tho labor leaders to be
held In that city to-morrow. Ha was accoui
, panled by Secretary Pcarce. Mr. IUtchford
' said:
) " There Is no doubt that the conference will be
attended by all the executive officers of the va
rious national and International organizations
, with possibly one or two exceptions. I do not
' want to predict the action that may bo taken,
but I think I may state that such action
would bo taken as will centralise the
strength and force of organized labor through
out the country bringing all the pressure to
) bear that the powers or their organizations can
. command to give a speedy victory for Ihomin-
' crs. The intimidation resorted to in West Vir-
j glnla by tho coal operators nnd the officers ot
the law has aroused a spirit ot resentment
among organized labor generally,"
During tlm afternoon President IUtchford re
reived a telegram from Kalrmont, W. Va.. to
., 'he effect that the miners In that district hod
' Joined tho strike lie sld that if this was true
the victory would soon tie won.

COAL aETTIXO SHORT.
Prices ea the Jump at St. Lenls aad Klsewtaere
Oereral nallreaas Crlpeted.
St. Louis, July 20. Coal prices are on the
jump in St. Louis. A week ago tho fact that
tome of the dealors wero demanding (2 a ton
excited comment. This morning the ruling
price was $3.S0 a ton, with prospects ot a further
advance. This is now the recognized price lor
coal delivered by wagon. Tho price In tho East
St. Louis yards is $3 a ton.
Most of tho coal being bought by St. Louis
consumers comes from tho Kentucky mines.
Oporators of ouUldo mines aro taking advantage
of the situation In St. Louis to add an unearned
increment to tbolr bank accounts. As far ns Is
practicable thoy nro keeping tlio supply of West
Virginia coal within well-rioflnrd limits. Ken
tucky operators will not supply more than fifty
tons on a slnglo order. In this way thoy aro
prepared to take advantage of tho increased de
mand and hold buck considerable of their out
put for an ndvnnce In prloo. An nvorage ot 200
cars a day of West Virginia coal conies Into tho
St. Louis market, nnd it Is nil purchased ns
soon ns It gets bore.
, Tlio short supply Is due to tho general strlko
In tho southern Illinois coal Holds, nnd threat
ens to embarrass seriously at, Louis leading
industries.
I'ittsuuro, July 20. A private tologram from
Cincinnati tecelvod here this morning said that
the coal business of thnl city Is belnij entirely
controlled br James Jones K Sons of Pittsburg,
and that conl this morning was bringing $2,50 a
ton, with tho prospector going up to $U before
to-night.
It is said that James Jones & Sons own 2.000,
Ooo bushels of coal which aro in rlvor caft, and
that nnothor million bushels nro owned oy othor
operators. This Is tho ntnount of coal at present
In tho Cincinnati harbor. The telegram say
that tho abovonamed Arm Is loading sixty cars
a day from 1U river craft, nnd will continue to
do so until tho strike Is endod or the coal gives
out. The big prices are prevailing because most
of the coal from West Virginia is being confis
cated by the railroads.
STitEATOit, III., July 20. Tho Chicago nnd
Alton Hallway Is the first of the six lines run
ning Into Stroator to bo affected by the coal
minors strlko, that road having temporarily
discontinued its through freight trains betwoen
Chicago and Peoria becnuso of a lack of fuel.
The Burlington and Qulncy road is being con
siderably inconvenienced by reason of an Insuf
ficient fuel supply, somo of Its coal being hauled
overland n dlstanco ot ton to twenty miles,
although traffic on Its lines has not as yet boon
intcrruuted.
Two big mills at Marseilles ,ln this county,
were compelled to shut down to-day for lack of
fuel. At Ottawa, tho county seat, several fac
tories have closed. The same Is true at Laaallo
and Mlnonk. where thero are large mines, but
tho entire supply ot coal, slack, and dirt has
been exhausted, and it is Impossible to buy coal
at any price.
I Some of the biggest factories In the district
are using wood for steam purposes. Thrashers,
in nearly every lustnnce. aro being operated by
cobs or wood for fuel, the unfortunate f armors
making bitter complaints.
FAinncitv, lib, July 20. Tho coal famine is
becoming serious in this region. Tho Wabash
Railroad haa abandoned the local freight trains
on its system out of Forrest, owing to the scar
city of coal. Tho road is saving the fuel for Us
passonger service.

of the Whltebreast Company at Forbush struck
tor 91 per ton for mining, 20 cents more than Is

This demand astonlshod tho operators. They
say it is a fictitious demand and was made to
furnish tho men an excuso to quit in sympathy
with the Easterners orbecause they believe that
while the Iowa mines ere onloying such a boom
filling orders heretofore filled by Eastern miners
it Is n good time to strike and get an advance.
it is known that agitators from Illinois have

AsiAOANSfnr. L. I., July 20. Concerning the
report published in n New York paper to-day to
the effect that Secretary John Sherman would
shortly retire from tho Department of SUte, to
be succeeded probably by Mr. Whltelaw IUld,
Secretary Sherman said to-day:
"Tho story Is without foundation. If my
health holds out I shall see the Hawaiian an
nexation question to a settlement."
Secretary Sherman said he expected to return
to Washington In a few days.
WAsniNOTOx, July 20. It is understood here
that tho President feels that he has discharged
whatever obligations he owed to Mr. Held by
sciidiug him us special ambassador to the
Queen's jubilee. Moreover, the annoyance and
embarrassment caused tho Administration in
tho soal fisheries negotiations by the pre
mature publication ot Socclal Ambassador
Foster's letter to Ambassador Hay, signed by
John Sherman as Socretnry of State, has
left their mark. Third Assistant Secretary of
Stato Crldler has not yet retracted his charge
that Mr. Hold is diroctly responsible for thus
betraying the plans of the Administration at an
inopportune moment, and it is understood that
bo will not do so.
When Mr. Held lands on this side In a fow
days, he will. It Is reported, proceed at one to
LaKoChamplatn to mnko personal report to the
President of bis impressions of tho jubilee. At
that Interview, possibly, something may be
learned as to bow the President regards the de
sire of Mr. Held for a place In the Cabinet.
Republicans In New York who read yesterday
tbecooked-up report that Whitelnw Ileld Is to
succeed John Sherman as Secretary pf State, It
Mr. Sherman felt called upon to resign, grinned.
They declared that they understood fully the
motive of tho report, Thev also added that
they were fully aware tbat Mr. Ileld is ambi
tious to succeed Mr. Sherman,
The story wont further, and was to the effect
that Mr. Held has reached that point in his life
where he would like any political job that Is
lnorie, but thxt President McICInley wiped off
tho political suite of obligations when he sent
Mr. ileld as Special Knvoy to the Court of St,
James's at tbo Qiicoti's jubilee.
All familiar with the situation In Washington
declared that if Mr. Sherman should flud it nec
essary to resign his placo ns Secretary of Stato
he will be succeeded by Judge Day ot Ohio, now

nAnrusBcno, Pa July 20. Amomr tho meas
ures approved, wholly or in part, by Qov. Has
tings to-day was tho bill giving an appropria
tion to Lehigh University. The circumstances
which led to the Introduction ot this men ro In
tbeGonoral Assembly last wintor have becomo
woll known recently. Tho neod of funds for tho
university arises out of tho failure of the stock
of the Lehigh V alloy Railroad, the form in
which the late Judge Asa Packer left his endow
ment of $1,500,000, to pay dividends for tho
Inst four cars.
The bill, ns Introduced and passed by the Qen
eral Assombly, contalnod four specifications.
The first one asked for $100,000 for the main
tenance of tho university, the second nsked
for a&0,000 to pay tho grnoral expensos, tho
third 25,000 for general educational purposes,
and tho fourth (25.000 for the special mainte
nance of tho university plant. Of those four
specifications Gov. Hastings approves the first
two and withholds his approval from the last
two. It is gonorally understood hore thnt tho
only reason lho Governor had for not approving
the bill as a wholo arose from his desire to
be as economical as possible in the expenditure
of State monoy.
In tho form ot his indorsement of the measure
Gov. Hastings reviews tho history of the Institu
tion and dwells upon tbe philanthropy of Asa
Packor In founding It, Then be says:
" While all tho departmenU ot a regular ool
lego course aro represented In the university, it
has been preeminently apolytechnlo school ot
the highest grado. Its technical departmonta
comprise civil engineering, mechanical engineer
ing, mining engineering, electrical engineering,
metallurgy, chemistry and architecture.
" Tho original purpose ot tho institution was
to provide technical instruction of the highest
order, free of cost, to young men of the State;
but from the boglnnlng so high a standard was
maintained that young men from other Statos
came knocking at its doors for admission.
While Judgo Packor, who had amassed a for
tune In developing tho mining nnd material In
terests in tho Lehigh Valloy, had dctonnlnod
that ho would return to the State, which had
atlorded him tho opportunity to amass his
wealth, a largo portion of his fortune for the
education of her joung men, he felt that tho
scope of the work should not be confined to tho
routh of his own State, and It was, accordingly,
brown open to nil dosorvlng young mon.
"Of all tho students who hnvo attended tho
university, lam informed that S3 per cent, of
them have been Pennsylvanlans. Over 2,000
students have attended the university and all of
them, exceotlmr slxtr. havo had tuition free.
Tho latter number. In tho last two years, were
required to pay a moderate charge each to
assist In defraying the expenses ot tbo Institu
tion. It bns been the desire of the management
to carry out tho wish of the founder that no
student of good character and scholarship
should be unable to obtain a collegiate educa
tion In consoqnenco of his inability to pay
tultton.
" For twenty-six years the Packer endowment
was amply sufficient to meet the current ex
penses of the Institution. During the last four
years, by reason of the Lehigh valley Railroad
stock, which constitutes the endowment, falling
to pay dividends, the Income of the university
has boon cut off. Tbe trustees and friends of
the institution, however, with confidence tbat
tho embarrassment was only temporary, raised
from their own private funds a sufllcicnt sum of
money to continue tho work.
" It has been made clear to me tbat tbe finan
cial embarassment of tho university is merely
temporary, and Its managers have come before
tho General Assembly, asking on appropriation
otJKiOO.OOa.to bridge ovr their temporary dlOV
culties. Tbe Lehigh University has been and is
a part of tbe free educational establishment of
tho SUte. IU work has been of the best quality.
Its graduates era touna In every department of
scientific energy in this and in other States and.
In fact. In many other countries. It has enabled
more than 1,000 poor Pennsylvanlans to qualify
themsolves, free of cost, for those profusions
which tend to develop the great industries and
energies of the commonwealth, and has done tne
same thing for an equal number of poor ynung
men from other Suics.
"After almost a generation of successful
philanthropic work this call for temporary aid
appeals allko to the sympathy and patriotism of
our people, and for these reasons I have been
constrained to withhold Executive approval
from only one-fourth of the sum appropriated
by, tho Genoral Assembly,"
Piiiladklpiiia, July 20. The news that Gov.
Hastings had decided to approve, almost as It
hod been introduced in tho Genoral Assembly,
tho bill to tide over the temporary embarrass
ment of the Lehigh University, reached here
shortly before D o clock this afternoon. Tbe
fioonle of Philadelphia have taken great Interest
n the fate of this measure, and the announce
ment that the Governor bad anproved of tho up
firoprlatlon to the extent of "150.000. after hav
ng been announced on the bulletin boards of
the newspaper offices, spread rapidly over the
city. Wherever there was a Lehigh man found
there was seen most satisfactory evidences of
rejoicing.
Soon after the news was known here a meet
ing of as many of the trustees of the university
as could begotten together was hold and nlove
feast followed. Defore the meeting endod, and
because news of the Governor's action reached
here too laU to be printed in the afternoon
papers, the trustees gave out the following
statement for publication to-morrow morning:
"The trustees of Lehigh University authorize
an emphatle denial of the report that tho uni
versity may bo compelled to close its doors In
September. This report was entirely unauthor
ized. Tbe university will be opened as usual at
tho beginning of the next college year, with all
departments In full efllcleno). Moreover, the
trustees take pleasure In announcing that the
appropriation of VI.'jO.OOO by tho SUte of Penn
sylvania has entirely relieved tho university of
any anxiety arising out of the temporary and
fiartial failure of Its incomo, The prospects of
a continued usefulness and growth aro in every
way satisfactory and encourueine."
All the friends of the university born believe
tbat the act Ion of the Governor bas made ll pos
slbls for tho Institution to go on with Its history
uninterrupted. There are now certainly ample
funds to enablo the Institution to continue Its
work for two jears to como, Defore that time
noonohere doubts that lho university wi'l h..
able to Uko caro of Itself from the reven - nt
lis own endowment. This announcement, . oui
ing as it does at this time, seems to make every
alumnus and every one Interested In tho univer
sity here feel certain that tho next freshman
class will bo eslargo as or larger than was anticipated,

THE BOVTU AFRICA CASE.
Mr. Chamberlain Knteglsea tlbodee and tar

Jeots Mr. stanhope's Iteeetntlon by 80s te TT
Spteial CabU DttpateK to Tnx 8c.
London, July 20. In tho House of Commons
to-day Mr. Philip J. Stanhope, Radical, moved
the adoption of a resolution, notice of which
was given on Monday last, deprecating tho In
conclusive action and report ot the committee
appointed by the Houso to examine into the
Transvaal raid nnd the affairs of the IlrlUsh
South Africa Company.
Tho resolution laid particular stress upon the
failure of the committee to recommend specific
steps regaralng Mr. Cecil Ithodos and upon IU
action In not reporting to the House the refusal
ot Mr. Uawksloy, Mr. Rhodos's solicitor, to pro
duce certain telegrams bearing upon the raid.
The resolution also domandod thnt Mr. Uawks
loy bo summoned to tbo bar of the Houso and
compelled to produco tho telegrams,
Mr. Labouchere, who waa a memtier of the
committee and who submitted a minority re
port, lod the attack upon the committee, and Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, Ghancollor of the Ex
chequer, defended it.
Sir William Vernon-Uarcourt. the Liberal
leader, said that tho committee had not aban
doned the Inquiry. The report submitted to the
House was conclusive on all Important polnU
in reference to tho raid, but it was too late In
the session for the commlttoo to enter upon an
investigation ot the affairs of tho British South
Africa Company, Ho reaffirmed his entiro con
fidence In the committee.
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the Colonial Secre
tary, defended tho committee In not insisting
upon tho production of tho telegrams, elabor
ating the reasons therefor given In the report.
He said he regretted that Mr. SUnhope bad sub
mitted the resolution, as It was calculated to
weaken tho commltteo's authority and cast a
slur upon IU conclusions, which wero necessary
to tho peace of South Africa and the vindica
tion of tho honor of Great Ilrltaln.
He declared that ho was not concerned to de
fend his personal honor. His answer to his as
sallanU was his notion at the time ot tho raid.
Mr. Rhodos had committed a fault that was
about as big as a statesman could commit, but
ho bad dono nothing to affect his personal char
acter as a man of honor.
Mr. Chamberlain further said that ho did not
believe tho atrocious chargos against Mr. Rhodes
and Dr. Harris mado by Mr. Labouchere, who
had abused tho privileges of tho House. The
Government, he added, was not going to prose
cuto Mr. Rhodes or remove his name from the
list of Privy Councillors. Ho bad been made a
Privy Councillor for his services, nnd ho hod
dono nothing slnco that dimmed those services.
Tho Government must lie guided to a consider
able extent by tho opinion that prevailed in
South Africa or South Africa might bo lost.
Tbo Colonial Secretary then read a communi
cation from Sir J. Gordon Sprlgg, Prime Min
ister ot Cnno Colony, to tho olloct thnt Mr.
Rhodes retained his former popularity, and thnt
probably not moro than half ot the Dutch real
dents of the Cape were opposed to him.
Mr. Chamberlain then said it was not In
tended to abolish tho British South Africa Com
pany. Rhodesia would in time have autonomy
granted to It, and in the moan time such a form
of control would bo established as would prevent
any nbusc. This would probably be done before..
Parliament reassembled.
Tbo situation In South Africa wns now better
than at any tlmo since the raid. The bitterness
provoked by the Invasion of tho Transvaal had
largely been removed, nnd all that was now
nccossary to reestablish harmouy wus tbo
avoidance of anything that would cause
further irritation to tbe Transvaal, Pres
ident Krfigor's recent attltudo encouraged the
hope thut the relations between tbe two Gov
ernments would soon be thoroughly eatiBfao
torv. Mr. Stanhope's reolutlon was then rejected
by a vote of 301 to 77.

London, July 20. During a discussion of the
Workmen's Insurance bill in the Houso of Ixirds
to-day Prime Minister Salisbury vehemently
attacked a sub-section of the measure which
Coloulat SscreUry Chamberlain recently vigor
ously defendod in the Houso of Commons.
Lord Salisbury, In tbo course of his remarks,
declared thut no sans person could approve of
the aub-seotlon, and he could not imagine how it
got into the bill.
The Daily -Veirs ascribes Lord Salisbury's at
tack to personal motives, and snis It was a gross
and Intentional Insult to Mr, Chamberlain. Tho
paper adds tbat tho woaknossof the Opposition
makes it unnecessary to conceal tho Dersonal
relations of the members of tho Cabinet.
Within ten days Lord Salisbury has publicly
repudiated and defeated tbo Duko ot Devon
shire and Mr. Chamberlain. Tho former is cal
lous and Indifferent. The latter bides his time.

Ansonia, Conn., July 20. Alfred Cples, a car

told a story to-day which may have some bear
ing on tho explosion on board the steamer Nut
meg State In Bridgeport harbor on Friday even
lug. Ho took the sleamor for New York on
Thursday night, and early the next morning,
when in tho washroom, he was approached by a
man who said he came down from the Nauga
tuck Valley, and during the night his sUte
room bad been entered and bis clothes robbed of
every cent of money he bad. The amount was
not very large, but ho was greatly wrought up
orer the robbery and said tie hod been to the
officers of tho boat, but failed to get any satis
faction. He said If be did not recover his prop
erty he would sink the steamer before another
twenty-four hours wore over.
Three times before the boat tied up at her
wharf In New York the man met Mr. Coles and
repeated his threat, saying that something
would happen liefore long. Mr. Coles thinks
thnt perhaps the explosion was tho result of
this threat.
