MIXERS' STRIKE pJlMLY ENDED.. Conllnuid from First the trade union movement. As president of the American Federation of Labor, a responsible officer in the trade union movement, 1 would not dare hazard the Interests of our fellow work* 1 era ut the hands of person# who might be entirely irrespontilbie. There are numbers of people who are opposed to government by Injunction and who are yet hostile to the clear eut and well dolined purposes of the trade union movement. "I shall say nothing In criticism of the action of tho St. jjouis convention, und I did not say anything earlier because I did not wish (o Interfere with ' the programme It mapped out, not even its appeal for a contribution of this day's wages and 1 am gl.id that what I now way will not appear until after the result of this appeal has been ucted upon.

Governor Atkinson and staff will bo on liund, having been specially invited. Their influence it Is expected, will bu obtained. Tho boat wishes on all sides are expressed for tho si^ccess of thu committee and It only remains for It to do its whole duty, for success to follow. BTOEY OF THE SOCIETY Of the Army of Wcat Virginia?Formed In 1870 at MonutUvlllr. The Society of the Army of West Vlrrrlnin n? n. ncrmnnpnt nrirnnlrntlnn wns formed at Moundsvllle at tho general reunion of the soldiers on September 22 and 23, 1870, Captains C. J. Bawling and R H. Cochran, Major M. W. Burt and Basil T. Bowers, of New Martinsville, and Daniel Albert, of Wheeling, constituting the committee on constitution and by-laws and General It. B. Kelly acting as temporary president. The second meeting was held at Wheeling on October 19, 1871, at which time a permanent organization was effected, and upon the acceptanco of the committee's report, with General George Crook, one of the commanders of the Army of West Virginia, elected president of tho society. Following this reunion others were held in consecutive years at Marietta, O., 1872; Parkersburg. W. Va., 1873; Marietta, 1874; Parkersburg, 1882; Ironton, O., 1883; Cumberland Md., 1884; Portsmouth, O., 1885; Portsmouth, 1886, in the latter meeting General Crook presiding for the first time since his election, having in the meantime been engaged in active service in the southwest, General R. B. Hayes serving continually in his stead. Wheeling, 1887, Columbus, September, 1888, In connection with the national encampment of the G. A. R.; Columbus, 1889, which was a practical failure inruuKn men oi sysieiuuuc preparation; Parkersburg, September, 1890, with General R. 13. Hayes and General W. II. Powell presiding, General Crook having but recently died. At this meeting General Hayes way elected president to succeed the late president, General Crook; Huntington, W. Va., September, 1891; Washington, 1). C., 1892, in connection with the national encampment of the G. A. It. In 1893 a reunion had been planned at Indianapolis in connection with the national encampment of the G. A. It., but the great distance, coupled with the fact that General Hayes had but recently died, discouraged the movement and nothing resulted. Attho eighteenth meeting, at Iror.ton, 0., In August, 1894, General W. II. Powell was elected president, succeeding the late ex-presldent. This meeting was additionally important, says the Columbus Journal, by reason of the adoption of a new ruling as to the plan of holding future reunions. The.nineteenth reunion was held nt Middlepom, O., in September, 1895, where a great i\vlval of enthusiasm was especially noticeable. The last reunion, in 1896, was1 at Galiipoiis, O., where nn attendance of lf?,000 people was registered. Thin, In brief, is the history .oJ-tfic 1 society's accomplishments. Th<* real/ membership Is not known, aa the records of former meetings have all been mislaid and no roll has been kept, apparently, for several years. At the coming reunion a register will bu kept of all who attend, and in this way. coupled with the Individual efforts of the members, It is hoped that by the next jneetlng a fairly comprehensive idea may be enjoyed of the real extent of the society in both West Virginia and Ohio, The present roll of ofliccrs are all exhibiting a commendable interest and activity In the work of putting the value of the society beforo the re? malnlng veterans and the hopo is confidently expressed that despite the ravages of time upon the thinning ranks of the old soldiers, the ensuing year will note a growth in the ranks of the society that will surpass all former showings. Colonel I', F. Zlese, the present sec retary, is an exceptionally actlvo worker and the success of the coming event will to no small decree rest upon his shoulders and be entirely due to Ills untiring perseverenco in arranging the preliminary details. It Is hoped that the occasion will bo one of the groateHt In the Hoclety's past history, ami the insurance of the presence of the aged preHldent, General Powell, will add vastly to the general Interest with all those mernbrs of the society that have heretofore displayed any particular zeal In furthering the cause of the organization. As the number of surviving veteran! decreases, the bond of sympathetic union grows stronger, and so It has proven for several yoarsj the official reports of the recent reunions being unanimously to this assurance. For thin reason and to perpetuate the society to the very end of the existence of the veteran survivors of the Army of West Virginia Jn all future meetings, as well as during the Intervals, the society members will exert every oftort and Influence to get Into line those of the old soldiers who, through lick of serial Interest, latent loyalty, or financial fallltir", hflVO persisted In Ignoring the hearty call of comradeship throughout nil these swiftflying years; that at nOffle future day [' v the entire surviving forces of tint Army of West Virginiafnny onee again gather fegl In a final rendezvous er,. ihey all go down to register their last and eternal A roll call in the bivouac of the dead, win. So far as I am concerned I have not lost one Jot of interest. On the contrary, If possible, I am more intensely Interested in having the miners win and anything that I can do without hazarding the interests or labor and our movement will be cordially performed to attain that end. As in the beginning, I stand ready to-day to follow Mr. Itatchford's lead In this strike in everything except to place the destinies of our 1 movement in the hands of persons rej> resenting 'reform, social, educational and scientific,' or other bodies who are simply agreed In their opposition to 1 government by Injunction. We ask the assistance of ull to attain that end, but 1 cannot permit either domination of our movement nor the direction of Its policy with the possibility of diverting It 1 into irrational and improper channels." WILL STAND PAT On the 00 Cent Mate?1liiut la (lie Disposition of the Pittsburgh Millers at Present* PITTSBURGH, Pa., Sept. 3.-Patrlck Dolan, president of the Pittsburgh miners' district, is on hla way from the Columbus conference to this city to tell the local people what transpired In the ! OhlA city. District Secretary Warner 1 says o call will 6e issued for a convention of the Pittsburgh district for Tues- 1 day next, when the delegates to the national convention at Columbus on the eighth Instant will be instructed. The Indications are that thefce delegates will be told to stand pat Wor the sixty-nine cent rate. They hope to have the support of the other states in this, begtuse if the Pittsburgh diggers obtain the advance of eleven cents the, differential which has always been an established ] custom between the several states will , assure to the others a corresponding Increase In their wages. The miners Individually, Judging from talks with a number of them, consider the operators badly whipped In the tight, and think they should be glad to compromise, on even seventy-nine cents and there Is no doubt that the delegates to the district convention will be given to understand that they must instruct the national delegates strongly for sixty-nine cents or nothing. The smaller operators will hold a meeting to-morrow morning to perfect their organization from which will bo barred the lake shippers of "Big 13." The organization will have for Its purpose the demanding of fairer rates for the coal which the members of the Hlliutli>r cunt hill,, ftit'riluli I Hit hhr uhlii pcrH. In this move they have apparently the* support of the organization of the miners. The trial of Samuel Do Armltt, Wm, Hrlscoe, Robert Lloyd and E. A. Brown, the three latter deputies at Plum Creek mines, for assault and battery on Maria ' dl Carlo at the time she was evicted from a company house, was called today before Alderman Klrby. The defendants waived a hearing and were held for court In the sum of $300 each, T. H. Do Armltt becoming the surety. Pletro Morandl, Giovanni Gerardial 1 and Angelo Maranquon, Italian miners, ' lately employed by the New York and 1 Cleveland Gas Coal Company, brought suit this morning to recover wages said ' to be due them and retained by the company on account of their refusal to work during the strike. The hearing Is set for Tuesday morning. i Drove lie Men From Work 1IAZLKTON, Pa., Sept. 3.-A line of strikers from the Lehigh Valley mines ! at Audonreid entered the outskirts of 1 this city at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Mayor Altmlller had determined to stop them from marching through the city and he sent a squad of policemen to , meet the strikers on the outskirts. The , leaders of the strikers then decided to make a detour of the city. Upon reach- , lng the Hazel mines they blew the whistles and chased the men from their work. All alnnir the line of march they forced people to Join them.

Mr. Caldrron Carl Idle, the legal adviser of tl.o Spanish legation here, Imp submitted to Milliliter L?e Lome a voluminous report on the filibustering expeditions.

Mr. Carlisle kIvih a |t?r of cases In which i" i ii ui'ie ne(|iiit.ed tnfl elles many alt' nipt 1 proceedings ivhloll were abnodrmed, one of the most imp' "nnt features of He- * < i<?ii t la tl'e publli n,tloil of a liuge ii UIn I ?* r of ofllelal palls Issued by Benor T. Estrada Palma, the b?ad of the I Cuban Junta in New York, tending to how that the Junta la originating and i setting on foot In the United States hostile expeditions against a power with which the United States is at peace. J One of these papers is a commission issued to Drlgadic-r Juan Riuz Illvera, Intrusting him with the command of an expedition which was to be disembarked In Vuelta Abajo, and which was to have been turned over to him by Coloney Emllio Nunez. In connection with this as tending to show to what extent t the Cuban Insurrection wus being directed und carried on from the United States, Mr. Carlisle quotes at length from the report of Senator Cameron, reviewing the preliminary organization of the movement, the uprising and progress of the Insurrection, thus using an official congressional document at* part of his proof. More of the documents emanating from the Junta are given, Including u letter from Senor Palma to General Clo? ^ me*, under date of July 22, 1MB, propos- i Ing a scheme of taxing the sugar plantera of Cuba for the support of the in- d surreetlon. This letter reviews the ef- * forts which have been made, with more ( or leas succcaa. to send arms and ami j munition, and then nays: "But our earnest desires and diligence are dashed to 41 pieces against the scarcity of funds which threatens." J He says It Is highly desirable to ob- * tal money sufficient to land Jn Cuba before November five thousand rllles and c Borne millions of cartridges. Efforts to 'j place bonds In the United States, London and Purls had been fruitless, und / the deilslon had been reached that no other \vay was left but to tax the approaching sugar harvest, lie proposed that planters be allowed to grind only on condition that they pay fifty cents 1 a sack on the estimated crop of sugar, <: and points out that in this wuy 1200,000 s OOUld be raised In a month. Sehof Pal* . mal also tella of the trouble In getting vessels for the transportation of expeditions. lie says no one will rent a ves- -i Bel unless the Junta deposits its full n value, from $10,000 to $50,000. . In conclusion Mr. Carlisle sums up his opinion as to the powers of the authorl- _ ties under the neutrality laws, and says that "In spite of the various failures , sf Justice whloh have occurred, the laws j ire sufficient in themselves to enable the ' United States to come up to the full measure of international duty which r lhey required of Great Britain. \ "To accomplish this la not necessary 1 that the executive should attempt nny " Interference with the Judiciary, but only that the executive should be Us own example in preventing and prosecuting violations of the law and Impress both tho courts and Juries of the country with the gravity of the matter in hand. "No exercise of arbitrary power Is suggested or required, but the vigilant und vigorous exercise of the exceptional powers which are given by our own laws may be rightly expected, when It la remembered that tl" Dse laws are passed to enable us to fulfill a'duty under the law of nations, the violation of ivhlch^through the permitted acts of lawless citizens or Inhabitants may entall vast and distressing consequences."
