STRIKING
COLLIERS
Request the Good Offices
of McKinley
NO ACTION IS AT ALL LIKELY
UNTIL MORE DEFINITE PLANS
ARE MADE
While the Situation Shows But Little
Change the Likelihood of
Trouble Increases
Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, July 20.—The pres
ident today received, the. resolution
adopted yesterday by the Pittsburg
council asking, him to use his good offices
in the settlement of the coal strike, but
has not. yet sent a reply. He has also
received many communications and sug
gestions on the subject, but it Is Improb
able that he will take any action in the
matter in, the absence of some definite
plan for the settlement of the strike.
The cabinet meeting today discussed
this matter informally.
WON'T WORK
STEUBENVILLE, 0., July 20—The
Dillonvale' and Long Run miners held
a monster meeting in the school house
yard at Long Run today and voted
unanimously not to work a stroke until
they got their price.
WON'T QUIT
CANONSBURG, Pa„ July 20.—Boone
mine, of the Canonsburg Commercial
company, and the mine of Cook & Son at
McGovern., which resumed operations
thiis morning, run all day without ex
periencing any trouble. These mines
will be operated in full tomorrow. The
visit of the strikers yesterday had no
effect upon the miners here, as they
claim they were fooled'last year and will
not come out again. It is rumored this,
jvening that the miners are gathering
again to come over to the mine tomor
row, 600 strong, and that others from
Tom's Run are going to join them.
MEETINGS STOPPED
COLUMBUS, July 20.— J. R. Sover
eign, Master Workman of the Knights of
Labor, arrived today from Pocahontas.
W. Va., where he spoke for ten minutes
to the miners, when the Mayor, by proc
lamation, stopped all public meetings or
assemblages of more than three persons
in any public place within the corporale
limits, on the ground that they were in
imical to the public peace. President
Ratchford copied the proclamation for
future use.
IN WEST VIRGINIA
WHEELING, W. Va., July 20.—The
strike situation shows no change this
morning. A few men who struck yes>
terday went back to work today, while
others came out. The New River and
West Virginia Central regions are
working full time. Debs will speak at
Rynesville tonight and spend, today ar
ranging a campaign with organizers and
local strike leaders.
TROUBLE AHEAD
ST. LOUIS, July 20.—Having succeed
ed' in getting the miners at O'Fallon,
111., out, the army of strikers that has
been marching from town to town per
suading men at different points to quit
work, left this afternoon for Belleville,
which it will reach about sundown.
Trouble Is feared at Belleville, as the
miners at work have declared their in
tention of net stopping work, while the
marching strikers say they will force
them to do so.
BRAZIL, Ind., July 20.—The block
coal miners have decided to abandon
their local order and join the United
Mine Workers of America. One hundred
and seventy-five families of miners have
been given relief. Many more applied for
relief, but did not receive anything, as
what rations there were on hand have
been exhausted.
THEY DIDN'T DO IT
WHEELING, W. Va., July 20.—Not
withstanding the break among the min
ers in the Fairmont district, large quan
tities of West Virginia coal is passing
through Wheeling for the west and the
lakes. There has been no repetition of
the driving of spikes in the frogs on the
Wheeling and Lake Erie, which occurred
on Monday, and the miners of the East
ern Ohio district are strenuous in de
nouncing any knowledge of the act. So
far there is no clue to the perpetrators.
TROUBLE FEARED
PITTSBURG, Pa., July 20— The at
tention of the miners of the Pittsburg
district Is now riveted, on the Allison
Boone and Enterprise mines near Can
onsburg. The Boone and Allison mines,
which were closed yesterday by the own
ers to prevent trouble between their men
and the marching strikers, resumed to
day with nearly a full force. No attempt
was made to start up at the Enterprise
mine. The strikers' fear that if these
mines continue in operation it will in
duce the Enterprise men. to go back to
work. The program of the strikers Is to
make another march on the Allison mine.
The leaders said this morning more than
2000 diggers would be massed in the
Panhandle district and another march
made on the mine. Tonight the miners
of the Panhandle disltrict were gathered,
above Brldgevllle and it will not be sur
prising if 1000 miners are found on the
Washington pike in the morning. The
men in the Miller's and Tom's Run dis
tricts are all idle and' have plenty of
time to make another march. They were
supplying themselves with several days.'
rations, and if the proposed march is
made tbey will srtay about the offending
mines for several days.
Just at this stage of the strike sensa
tional developments are expected. The
men are beginning to feel the pangs of
hunger and want and. are in a condition
bordering on desperation.
The coal markets were quiet today.
Much coal was offered at 11.25 a ton.
Slack took a big; Jump and sold for 85
LOS ANGELES, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 21, 1897
cents a ton. Before the strike it sold at
40 cents a ton. There are hundreds of
tons of slack coal at the mines in the
Pittsburg district, but the miners' offi
cials will not permit any of it to be
loaded.
DEBS DISCOURAGED
CINCINNATI, July 20 —A special to
the Commercial Tribune from Wheeling
says: Changes that have an. important
bearing upon the coal strike situation
In West Virginia came today. The state,
taken as a whole. Is against the strike
for financial reasons, and all who hay
struck have been brought under the
pressure of organizations and agitators
from elsewhere.
Generally they have been shamed into
striking. In the Fairmont region. Debs
admits that he is sorely discouraged.
The Fairmont managers declare that if
the Watson men. about 1000 in number,
can be kept at work, the other mines will
also work Thursday as usual. Deb;: 1
spoke at Riversvilie tonight to the Wa;
son men, but he was not so successful
as at Fairmont, and r.o union was- or
ganized. Tomorrow he will speak at
Worthlngton and MinersAille to more
of the Watson men.
It transpires today that Debs has been
shadowed by two Plnkerton men anj
that he has been threatened with death
if he goes to Kanawha. He will go,
however, on. Thursday.
Sixteen hundred cars of coal were
shipped today, the biggest shipment in
seven years. There have been threats of
holding up trains at Kenova ar.d over
in Ohio, and more watchmen have been
placed at dangerous places.
MINERS MASSING
PITTSBURG, July 20—Reports from
Cambrldgevllle late tonight that the
miners are massing at that point with the
intention of making a raid on the mines
at Canonsburg, where the men returned
to work today.
Provisions for several days are being
prepared and it is expected a determined
siege will be the result. The sheriff of
Washington county has- been notified
that trouble is expected and he is-making
preparations to meet any emergency
that may arise.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. July 20—The
disagreement between the coal miners
and operators in this district was ended
%>day by compromise, the operators
agreeing to pay the miners 37V» cents per
ton, a reduction of 2% cents. Tomorrow
about 4000 men, who have been on strike,
will resume work.
High Tariff Makes Possible Another
CHICAGO, July 20.—The Tribune says:
The glucose trust will have a little
brother one of these days, soon. He will
probably be called for short the "Syrup
Trust."
Last evening there were assembled at
the Commercial Exchange representa
tives of nearly all the leading makers of
syrups and jams—known to the trade as
"mixers" —in the country. The meeting
was held behind closed, doorrs, but it
was learned that a committee of three
was appointed to confer with C. B. Mat
thleson of the Glucose Trust. The com
mittee met Mr. Matthieson, but he was
mon-commltal.
"Wait until after August 1," said he,
"and I will be able to talk with you."
He had only Just reached Chicago, he
explained, and had not yet got settled
in his new position.
The meeting adjourned at a late hour
to be reconvened in August at the call of
the Chairman, C. B. Bliss of Kansas
City.
A Large Foreign Demand Leads to
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.—There
was considerable excitement and an un
usual amount of business at the local
Produce Exchange today, the continued
foreign demand for wheat sending the
price of that staple booming. To begin
with Liverpool options showed a marked
advance and Chicago reports only served
to Increase the excitement. December
wheat, which has risen from 121 on July
Ist, opened at 135, rose to 136 and closed
at 135%. An hour later 1' shot up to 138.
closing at 137%. May o; ;ned at 138 and
closed at 141; while December steadily
rose to 139, and closed strong at 138'^.
Since very little of the new crop has ye:
passed out of the hands of the California
farmers, there is much jubilation at the
existing state of affairs, as they will de
rive most of the benefit of the rise.
Prince Henry Must Fight With
NEW YORK, July 20.—The Herald this
morning says: The Count of Turin, who
has challenged Prince Henry of Orleans
for the remarks he uttered at the ex
pense of the Italian officers recently re
leased from captivity in Abyssinia is a
prince, of the royal Wood and therefore of
Prince Henry's rank.
Prince Victor Emanuel of the house of
Savoy-Aosta, Count of Turin, was born
at Turin in 1870 and is therefore 27 years
old. He is the son of the late Duke of
Aosta, a nephew of King Humbert and a
maj«r in a cavalry regiment. The Count
of Turin's challenge created a rather
anomalous situation for the Count, being
the brother of the Duke of Aosta, is the
brother-in-law of Prince Henry's cousin.
Princess Helen, whom the Duke of Aosta
married in 1895.
MARION, Ohio, July 20.—A succession
of terrible electrical storms, with heavy
rainfall, passed over this city and vicin

Charles Seller and William Sontag, me
chanics, returning from work, were
struck down on the street. They may

miles from this city, were killed.
PHOENIX, Ariz., July 20.—Chief Just

Associated Press Special Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.—The ex
citement over the recent di<>< overie» of
gold in Ala*ka still continues here and
when the steamer Excelsior sails for SI.
Michael's Sunday she will carry all the
miners' supplies she can hold. The Ex
celsior will be the last steamer to sail
thir year from San FrancHco to connect
with the Yukon steamers, but there is
already talk of chartering another
Ftthmer to take up a crowd of miners.
No more news from the Clondyke re
gions will be received until the steamers
leaving here and Seattle have returned.
A BIG BUSINESS
CHICAGO. July 20.—1n expectation of
greatly increased traffic to Alaska the
American Trading and Transportation
company, with headquarter* in the Old
Colony building, has been reincorporat
ed with an Increase of capital stock from
$100,000 to $450,000. The incorporation
was licensed today by the Secretary of
State. Charles A. Weare of Chicago is
president of the company.
OFFICIAL ACTION
WASHINGTON, July 20.—Commis
sioner Hermann, cf the general land
office, stated today that he will, recom
mend the establishment of two land dis
tricts in Western Alaska, the two offices
to be placed on the Yukon river or its
tributaries, in anticipation of a great
number of contentions over mineral land
locations in various sections where the
discoveries have been made. He says
that this region is practically without
law, and especially as to the settlement
of the gold lands, it will be of indefinite
value to the land In this respect and in
directly to the preservation of law and
order. The offices, It Is probable, will be
located at Circle City and Dawson City.
The general land office is in hourly ex
pectation of petitions and requests for
such action.
A BIG UNDERTAKING
CHICAGO, July 20—P. B. Weare,
Vice-President of the North American
Trading Company, is receiving hundreds
of letters asking Information regarding
the Alaskan gold fields. He said today:
"The boats which sail from Seattle this
morning are full—every passage taken.
That means anyone who wants to go to
Clondyke must wait for the August
boats. And the journey is 7000 miles.
People talk about it as if it was walking
across the street. They don't realize what
Alaska is—what the Yukon is. They
will need a map to convince them of th =
truth that the country of the Yukon and
its tributaries In Alaska and British
America is as large as the whole United
States east of the Mississippi—that it is
longer than a trip to Europe, before they
reach the Bering Sea and the mouth of
the Yukon; that by the time they strike
the Yukon, the Alaskan Arctic winter
will be upon them. By September 20th
the winter settles down and the Yukon
country is frozen solid till next May.
The expense of getting from Chicago to
Seattle is $60 and from Seattle to the
Bering Seaslso. There will be thousand?
of Eastern men who will go, but of course
the coast people have everything In their
favor. One thing must be remembered,
that the Clondyke country Is in the
British domain and will be governed ac
cordingly"
WILL GO BY STEAMER
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.—Notwith
standing the suggestions of the miners
on the advantages of traveling overland,
the steamer Excelsior, which will sail
on the 28th instant, is booking passen
gers for Dawson City by the score and
will close Its books In a day or so. The
steamer will arrive at St. Michael's early
in August, in time to connect with river
boats running direct to Dawson. The
gold-seekers will reach their destination
about September sth. As the Yukon will
be frozen by October Ist no one who does
not go soon will be able to reach Dawson
City this year by way of St. Michael's.
Hundreds will doubtless make the jour
ney overland from Juneau after the
closing of navigable streams.
The Alaska Commercial Company has
500,000 tons of supplies at St. Michael's
all of which, will be forwarded to Daw
son City before the close of the season.
The North American Transportation
Company has an equal amount of food
and clothing at St. Michael's. A party
of forty men is preparing to charter a
schooner and sail to Juneau, from which
point they intend to make the journey
overland to Dawson City.
It 1b hard to say at this time how many
San Franciscans will leave for the new
El Dorado. Hundreds are considering
the question, but the danger and the
possibilities' of failure will keep many of
them from swelling the population of
Dawson City or any of the new towns
w.hlch will spring up. or from journeying
to possible new fields which may be dis
covered. The problem la a difficult
to solve,but the chancesare that a couple
of hundred will leave here between now
and next spring.
The Walla Walla sails this morning
from here with but few Yukoners. The
Walla Walla will connect with the Mex
ico, which will take most of the miners
bound for Juneau. The Yukon rush has
caused the Pacific Coast Company to
arrange an extra steamer trip, which
will be the George W. Elder, to leave
Portland for Juneau soon, stepping at
Seattle.

the gold fever has struck town and
scores of men are throwing up good po
sitions in order to seek fortunes in the
Clondyke gold fields. John Piercy, a
wholesale merchant, made a somewhat
novel proposition to the Dominion gov
ernment. He has offered to pay $50,000
per annum for a period of five or ten
years for the privilege of collecting the
duty on goods going Into the Canadian
section of the Yukon country. To a
telegram to this effect the Federal au
thorities have not as yet vouchsafed an
answer, but It believed that customs
officers will be sent up there to collect
the duty on American goods which are
being taken into that country, imme
diately.

that, beginning about the Ist of next
April a' large steamer can leave the
Seund for Alaska dally with all the pas
senger' and freight accommodations
crowded. The excitement over the Alas
kan gold fields will give to the shipping
business activity never before known
in North Pacific waters.

Bank Robbers Caught

tered McWillianms' Bank this morning
and, placing revolvers at the head of
Cashier Van Buskirk, ordered him to
throw over the cash and hold up his
hands. -The latter was equal to the
emergency and raised weapons to shoot
the intrduers, when the robbers fled.
Van Buskirk at once gave thealarm and
a crowd of citizens, on wheels, horse
back, in carts and other vehicles, gave
chase. Finally the robbers were sur
rounded by a mob of 100 men, and after
many shots were exchanged without ef
fect, were captured. It is suppostd they
are the same pair who made the attempt

Work in the Senate on the Conference
Report on the Tariff Bill—Slow
Progress Made
Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, July 20.—The tarlß
conference report was reported to the
senate today but little progress was
made on it beyond the formal reading
of about two-thirds of it. There was no
indication of when the final vote would
be reached. During the day Tillman
Democrat, of South Carolina, openly
threatened a filibuster until next De
cember if cotton bagging and cotton,tie*
are not restored to the free list, but the
threat is regarded es somewhat frac
tious. The sugar amendment occa
sioned a long debate during which Alli
son stated that the conference rate*
were lower than, those of the senate and
largely a concession to the bouse.. Sen
ators Vest, Jones, Berry and White
questioned this statement, urging that
the sugar trust secured larger benefits
from the conference schedule than from
any previously offered. The lumber
amendment also brought out animated
criticism from Senators Teller and Pet
tlgrew. Early in the day the senate
passed a joint resolution authorizing
and requesting the president to take all
necessary steps for the release of the
Competitor prisoners from prison, at
Havana.
Immediately after prayer a message
from the House announced the agree
ment of that body to the conference re
port. Considerable routine business was
disposed of before the tariff report was
called up.
The Vice-President announced In re
sponse to an inquiry by Senator Allen of
Nebraska that the pending Union Pacific
resolution was unfinished business and
would come up at 2 p.m., unless dis
placed.
This drew from Senator Morgan a
statement that It was intended to dis
cuss the tariff report in all its political,
financial and historical bearings. Aside
from this it was proposed to secure con
sideration for the Union Pacific resolu
tion, either by itself or during the tariff
debate, if this became essential. It was
not orderly practice but. said Morgan,
when men were tied up and lashed over
the back they were not disposed to stand
on the niceties of the procedure. It was
more Important he said, to save fifty
millions by the Union Pacific resolution
than pass the tariff bill.
Senator Allison suggested that there
was no disposition to cut off all reason
able consideration of the report. It was
too important, however, to give way to
other questions which might be brought
forward.
The conference report was then read
in detail.
When the first clause was read Sena
tor Jones of Arkansas made an earnest
protest against proceeding on the tech
nical report without an intelligent ex
planation of its meaning. There had been,
no opportunity for the Democratic con
ferees to consider it in committee. It
had been rushed through the House in a
single day, without time for prepara
tion to discuss it there. It was due to
the American people, he declared, that
some explanation be given.
During the reading of the report there
were frequent inquiries by Jones and
brief explanations from Allison, but these
did not cause material delay. Seven
pages of the printed report, covering;
38 pages of the bill, were disposed of In
the first half-hour.
When the item of window glass was
reached Jones read a telegram Just re
ceived from leading window glass deal
ers in New York, saying the restoration
of the McKinley rate would place a duty
equivalent to 140 per cent on this article,
which would be prohibitory and would
stop all revenuefrom this source.
The lumber amendments led to an ani
mated debate. Teller and Vest contended
that the $2 rate on white pine and the
retaliatory clause against Canadian logs
in effect permitted a double tax. Teller
declared that the whole thing was con
ceived in the interests of a few mill men
in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin,
by which they would be able to raise the
price of pine $3 or J4 per 1000 feet.
The debate was fruitless of result and
the reading of the bill proceded until the
amendments of the sugar schedule were
reached.
Vest said this was the storm center <ii
the bill, and he asked Allison if he ap
proved the statement made by tjje house
conferees that the house differential
and the general features of the house
schedule had been preserved.
Allison responded with an explana
tory statement which was interrupted
by frequent questions. He said the gen
eral effect of the amendment was aa
stated by the house conferees. The sen
ate had provided 1.95 on. refined sugars
where the house gave 1.875, making the
senate differential one-fifth instead of
one-eighth. The house provision wns
now restored and that differential re
tained. Berry interrupted to ask how
much less the sugar trust got from the
conference report than they did front
the senate amendment
Allison answered that under the
schedule as modified, taking the point
of 100, the differential was 12ft cents.
Taking 96 degree sugar, the sugar*
above No. 16, Dutch standard refined,
would receive 1.31 cents per 100 pounds
more than they would have received un
der the house schedule, and somethlHt
less than under the senate schedule. ■
