Weal Virginia Situation
.Considered Serious.
Pittsburg, .July 18. Tim evenis of to
wlay ill tbe l'ittHlmrK mining liHtriet in
dicate there in trouble ahead. Tlio strike
bus In-Pi) on for two weeks with no
'uuw for alarm in nny quarter, but to
luy the pangs of hunger and luuttor
ings of discontent have taken tangible
. form, mid before morning 100 miners
will have marched on Cunnoiisburg, the
objective point being the Boone and Alii
i won mines.
.A few days ago the operators of these
mines made u requisition on the sheriff
'it Washington county for more deputies.
It is supposed that there are at least
thirty deputies at each mine, well nrin
ed for any friction that may take place.
Today the miners of Miller's and Tom's
run districts held mass meetings. The
men employed in the Slope and Bridgo
ville mines, Essen Nos. 1 mid ", and
Sterns' mines, met at Rridgeville. Cecil
was the scene of a meeting of Laurel
Hill, Nos. 2 anil 4, Crooilniorc and
Bishop mines, and the diggers employed
in tln standard and Kllsworth mines in
Miller's run also held a meeting. The
irathorings were nl tended by men, women
jmd children. The women did not lag in
interest. Many of them openly branded
their husbands as cowards. They argued
that they might as well tight as starve.
'Tut; men said the vietory could be won,
i, providing every ''oal miner employed in
the unction where the lake trade is sup
plied would join the general movement
of idleness.
Plans for bringing out the miners at
vork in the Boone anil Allison mines
were discussed. It was decided to march
'on too Ciinnonshurg mines tonight, and
brass bands were engaged to join the
marchers. A miner who was very en
thusiastic over the plan, said there
would be at least 1000 men in line.
Whether the men will go armed is not
.known, but they expect to be at the
mines when the offending diggers are
ready to go to work and will use every
'influence possible to keep them from go
'ing into the mines. Some of the leaders
"claim there will be no trouble. They say
when the men see such n big demonstra
tion in favor of what they term a peace
ful battle for bread they can not enter
ihe wines and retain their manhood,
.lust what tlie result will be is dillicult
to tell. The men are known to be in a
onilitiou of scnii-insanity on the strike
l stien.
Thry have been goaded on by suffering
wives, daughters ami sweethearts, and
iit appears us if it is the beginning of the
end of the strike.
The negotiations to induce the coal
"operators to sign a uniform agreement
-.ire Mill going on. The commissioners
'having it in charge feel as if they would
be able to accomplish it. Secretary (i.
"Frank Schimd said tonight that within
the next few days imwerful influences
would be brought to bear on the opera
tors, and with the strike in operation,
the chances were for a successful con
.summation of the agreement.
An an evidence that the operators tire
root counting on arbitration, it was nn
; nun need tonight by a prominent opera
' tor that if the strike in West Virginia
-does iiit prove successful the Pittsburg
operators will make an effort early next
' week to start their mines at the til) cent
rate, the rate now asked by the men.
They will claim that as they are willing
Vio puy the price asked the law must pro
tect them iu the operation of their mines.

A Remarkable Strike 111k Addition

Columbus, ()., July lS.-President
Hatchford today, summing up the strike
situation in an interview to the State
Journal, said:
"The mauuer iu which the miners are
rt-ouducting themselves commends itself to
the oouutry and gives their officers renew
ill hope and strengthens the belief that
victory will ultimately crown their ef
forts. "The history of industrial strikes has
no parallel to the present movement. Dop
Mity marshals, coal and iron police and se
cret detectives "have been at work, but
riheir presence has failed to incite the
miners to nets of lawlessness or even to a
resumption of work. Their presence iu

licaceable communities with a chip on
their shoulders gave some cause for alarm,
and ordinarily would have caused u re
sort to violence. Hut our miners iu this
instance, profiting by the experience of
the past, would neither cause trouble
themselves nor allow themselves to be
come, involved iu trouble by the action of
others.
"lloports from some of the cities to the
effect that the coal supply is not short are
only intended to discourage the miners.
If the coal supply is not short, why are
prices advancing? Why is coal worth $1
a I'm and even $1,170 a ton more than it
was two weeks ago? Why are railroads
confiscating coal shipments? Why are
the shops and factories whose wheels are
put in motion by the labor of the miner
ceasing to operate? Why are operators
all over the state offering their miners a
rate even higher than the one demanded
if they will only continue at work?
"The reason is patent to all: coal is
scarce. Those who have it to sell get
fancy prices, and those who offer an ad
vance, particularly in West Virginia and
portions of Illinois, for the purpose of
checking and defeating this movement,
and miners who do not know this will
realize it when the battle is over, if such
operators have their way.
"We have started in on this movement
realizing fully the importance of the'work
before us and the responsibility resting
upon us, and after two .weeks of suspen
sion, involving more than 150,000 men,
we are well satisfied with the results. Only
those who are best acquainted witli the
condition of the men have any idea of the
extent of the suspension. It has not
reached its full proportion. The coming
week will add 120,01 X) to the idle column.
The labor organizations of the country
are iu closer touch than ever before. Nev
er iu the history of labor troubles have
they been found so closely allied. Our
demand for living wages and the determi
nation of the men to secure it, have
brought expressions of sympathy and mor
al and material support from almost every
branch of organized labor, whose efforts
iu our behalf will endear them to all lov
ers of fairness and establish for the
miners with their own efforts a living rate
of wages."
Situation lit Dillon vnle.
Wheeling. W. Va., July lS.-Tho strik
ing men at Dillonvnle. up the river on the
Wheeling and Luke Krie road, have been
notified by the management that Ihe
mines there will resume Monday morning,
and that if they do not intend to work
their places will be tilled with outside
men. Some of the Dillonvule men lire iu
favor of returning to work, but the ma
jority are opposed to such a course. If
the company is in earnest iu its intention
of bringing outside men, the miners' of
ficials predict trouble.
The placing of guards at some mines is
having a disquieting influence and inn y
niake trouble.
The contest lotween the representa
tives of the labor organization and the
local interests throughout the region is
terrilie. but the strikers seem to have the
best of it. About one half the men will
work tomorrow. On the Wheeling and
Lake Krie, in the eastern Ohio districts,
the operators have about given up hope
of getting men before the strike ends.
Some miners came down from Massil
lon today, but did not like the outlook
and went home. The United States mar
shals are all gone but three, and they
are doing detective work.
Four West Virginia coal trains went
through today and were not molested.

Wheeling, W. Va., July IS. There is
heavy movement of West Virginia coal

A Miner' Meeting.
Fairmont. W. Vn., July IS.-Over 500
men attended the coal miners' meeting to
day in the woods nt Willow Tree school
house, and 317 of them raised their
hands when the sionkor took n vote to
ascertain how many of them were willing
to come out in the morning. The miners
were chilly nt first, but gut warmed up
and showed much enthusiasm and the
speaker was frequently cheered.
Vote to Strike Reconsidered.
Huntington, W. Va.. July IS. The
strike agitators have lieen busy in Flat
Top fields today, but have made but lit
tle headway. Not over 500 men will quit
work there tomorrow morning, and this
number may be reduced one-hnlf. All
the miners in Thackers' coal fields yes
terday afternoon, voted to quit work to
morrow morning and held a mass meet
ing this afternoon and reconsidered the
matter, and they will all return to work
as usual tomorrow.
It is believed the miners nt Dingess
will also change their action of yesterday
and return to work. The operators nt
Klkhorn are working among their men,
and they hope to persuade them to re
turn tomorrow. If they do it will then
be almost impossible for strike agitators
to induce miners in the Flat Top field
to quit work.
The situation on the Kannwnhn re
mains very much the same as yesterday.
Debs Influence.
Cincinnati. July 18. The Commoreial
Tribune's special from Wheeling says:
Just why it Is so may be n mystery
to some, but it is a fact, nevertheless,
that K. V. Debs will be able to do more
just now toward bringing out the miners
in the Fairmont region than any other
man.
A big meeting nt Monongahcla today
demonstrated this when a miner got up
and declared that as soon as Debs came
into the region the men would strike and
that his influence would be greater than
all the offers of the operators to pay
bonuses on coal mined. This sentiment
was cheered loudly. The organizers at
work there admit that he must be
brought into tbe field, and tonight it was

Sun Antonio, Tex., July 18. (Special.)
A mail wlio registered as T. Hill was
found dead in his room at the Vienna ho
tel iu this city tonight. Two handker
chiefs were bound tightly around his
head, covering his mouth. It is supposed
to be a case of suicide, although no autop
sy has yet ls'cn held to determine the
means employed. In the dead man's
pockets were found $155 in money, a pair
of Held glasses and two clippings from
the Daily Express of July 15 giving re
sults of the races at St. Iouis and Oakley
tracks. The dead man is about 35 years
old and was neatly dressed.
Got the Gold Fever Had.
Seattle, Wash.. July 18. The excite
ment over the Klondyke mines is on the
increase, and hundreds of people are pre
paring to sail for Alaska. The steamer
Portland, which brought over $1,000,000
iu gold, is on her return trip and will be
crowded. Conservative men who have
been in the country claim that there is
room for hundred of men more iu Alaska.
Thev admit thnt all fields in the vicinity
of Klondyke have been taken up. but
every river in Alaska has gold in it, and
there is a largo field to work.

Deafness Cnn Not Be Cared
By local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
aud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by nn inflamed condi
tion of the mucous linings of the Eus
tachian tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten nre caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

VIEWS ON IHE PROTECTIVE POLICY
Free Trader From Ilriir.ll Speaks for

A Protectionist Cplield Illuh
TnrllT Kates.
Philadelphia, July 18. The commercial
representatives of Mexico, Central nnd
South Americn, who last night returned
from their forty days' tour of the indus
trial centers of the country, assembled
today at the Philadelphia Commercial
Museum and held n symposium on the
subject of reciprocity. The meeting was
of a parliamentary nature, and n num
ber of speeches were made, several of
the delegates expressing decided views on
the tariff question. A general discussion
of the subject followed.
Dr. Gustav Xeiderlein, scientific direc
tor of the museum, presided. By way
of introduction he said:
"The United States congress Is now
passing the tariff bill, and in the amend
ments a special power is delegated to the
president to lower the taritE quotations
20 per cent for each article which cnn
i. . i t . i ... a. . : , a t
ue inciuueu in ueuues ui recipruciij.
"The question of reciprocity is the
most difficult in the world's economics.
Our congress is a part of this work nec
essary to see clearer into the world's pro
duction and consumption. We limited
ourselves this time to America ns the
part of the world which not only his
torically nnd geographically shall be con
sidered as one, but also commercially
and economically have common inter
ests." The most pronounced free trader of
the party, Arthur S. Hitchings of Rio
de Janeiro, had this to say:
"I beg, first, to signify my sincere
thanks for the exceeding kindness which
I and the other delegates have met with
iu all the cities which we have visited
in this country.
' Iteciprocity, if it were as easy be
tween nations ns between individuals,
would undoubtedly be a just definition of
Inir and ineudly trade, but circum
stances often, almost always, created
difficulties which prevent a practical re
alization of such disposition. That friend
ly countries should be inclined to make
it a system is natural, but I do not think
it cnn exist without free trade, and I
would lie wrong in holding out prospects
which would indicate nny treaty by
which Brazil would bind itself to favor
one country more than others.
"I believe the exceptional advantages
Canada is giving Great Britain is n leg
islative blunder, and time will prove it.
They are opposed to broad and liberal
laws which secure to England her ex
tensive foreign trade. With this view I
can not believe their reciprocity (for
such it is) will last long, and it would
be more difficult to hnve excentionnl
lows favoring the many nations on the
American continent. The interests of
these nations are not alike, nor can thev
produce and find nn outlet and consump
tion within their boundaries. Kurope
must necessarily be sought after by
both North nnd South America, nnd it
would be inconsiderate to propose nny
legislation that would exclude existing
policy whereby all nations are treated
alike. Such legislation would interfere
with production, for it would lead to
surplus stock and exact quantities would
bo required for barter in the stead of
progressive increases, which greater and
greater intercourse with the whole world
can foster and regulate. I have heard
much of the Monroe doctrine, but sure
ly such can not npply to the trade. Let
us, gentlemen, forego nil such petty no
tions that are not based on sound reason
ing, and let us circumscribe our desires
within n possible scope.
"We have seen on our tour that the
United States produces machinery and
many of the articles which we import
nt present from other countries, and we
have noticed thnt these states also im
port many things similar to what we
buy in Europe. I must say, however,
that the majority of your manufactures,
almost in all ways fitted for our mar
kets, nre too high priced, and there will
be no increasing trade until there is a
reduction in the general scale of prices.
"You have to appreciate your dollars,
which have hitherto been so easily earn
ed; you must make their purchasing
power greater so cheaper living will fol
low, nnd with protective duties and in
flated currency such results cnn not be
attained, and it has been my pleasure
in the intercourse with your countrymen
to find that the majority agree in the
belief that protection has concluded its
good work; that its permanence will be
effectively pernicious and that your cur
rency requires without delny to be placed
beyond the reach of politics or the ma
nipulation of silver trusts.
"We hnve seen how your factories em
ploy most ndvunced machinery, but these
machines nre exported, copied, and, in
some cases, improved on; others are
thereby enabled to compete with you by
using your own inventions, by reduced
price of the. labor nnd untaxed cost of
raw material. Competition is wholesome,
for it corrects over-production, but you
require to produce rnoro for the employ
ment of your skilled workmen and you
must find markets wherein to dispose of
your goods, and all this necessitates an
altered system.
"You ure favored with home rnised
quantities of much of the raw material
used; do not enhance its cost if it has
to go n broad. Y'our machinery is most
effective, but do not expect too much of
it. Your workmen are very skilled, but
do not underrate the foreigner, nnd to
all your advantages add what free trade
can nlone secure a permanent nnd en

in this wonderful oouutry. This is what
is, ns I understand, meant by reciprocity,
nud my earnest wish is that in such ex
ample we in our country will find a les
son nnd an incentive to do likewise."
Mr. Hitching' views were, for the
most part, seconded by Carlos Lix Klett,
nu extensive exporter of wool nnd hides,
from Argentina, but.Mauro Fernandez,
former minister of finance of Costa Uicit,
Central America, made n strong plea in
favor of protection. He declared that
the question enme down to a contest be
tween the necessity of the politician,
which is protection, nnd the aspiratiou
of the scientist free trade.
"The United States is right to protect
her industries until she cnn walk alone,"
he exclaimed, "for in some political re
spects she is still n bnby."
The meeting therupon resolved itself
into a debate between the free traders
nnd the protectionists of the party. Louis
A. Dillon of Ecuador told his hearers
thnt his country imported very much
more from the United States than they
exported to them, but the business men
of his country had found thnt they could
do better with Europe, where they were
enabled to secure very much smaller
rates on freight.
dipt. J. Cordecia da Grac, engineer
and naval officer of Brazil, made nn
other free trade argument, characterizing
the present tariff bill ns a monstrosity.
Other addresses of a more general char
acter were made by other representa
tives of the southern countries.
After the general discussion which fol
lowed, the party went to Willow drove,
where dinner was served.
Tomorrow there will be another meet

gates will disperse. Many will go to
Europe, others will remain iu this coun
try to continue their studies of its in

home.
A SWINDLING CASE.
A Philadelphia Man Alleged to Have
Swindled Jewelry Store.
New York, July 18. William A. Bell
wood, a well-known dealer in antique
books and rare jewelry nt No. Wal
nut street, Philadelphia, who runs nn ex-
Eensive suite of rooms at the Plaza
otel here, is under arrest at police head
quarters charged with having swindled
Marcus A: uo.. Jewelers of this citv. out
of jewelry valued at many thousands of
dollars, 'ihe arrest was made on Satur
day nnd iu the police court today the
prisoner was remanded to the custody of
the Central office detectives.
A small portion of the jewlory has been
recovered and pawn tickets have been
found for a large portion of the remain
der. The police say Bellwood has confessed
as to his dealings with Marcus & Co.,
but denies that ho has swindled other
firms. Bellwood is a Frenchman of good
address nnd refined milliners. He began
his dealings with Marcus & Co.. about a
year ago. He often lsiugbt goods from
the firm on memorandum, and so far ns
the police know his dealings were for n
long time legitimate. Bellwood spent
much of his time in this city, and first
lived with bis wife nt the Imperial hotel
until they nrrived nt the I'lazii some
weeks ago. Recently Marcus & Co.,
learned thnt Bellwood was seen fre
quently at the race tracks, where he was
reported to have been it heavy loser. The
firm then determined to keep a close
watch in the event of the purchase of
more goods by this Philadelphia customer.
Last Friday Bellwood appeared at the
store of Marcus & Co., and called for a
