THE" STRIKE OUT LOO-K.
Matters Are Beginning to Assume a
Serious Appearance.
VERY FE W MINERS AT WORK
Leaders 'l‘hink More Will Go 0111: Before
the End of the Week—Steps Taken
For Purpose .of Securing Gov-
ernment’s Intervention. ‘
Pittsburg, July 8.-—Reports received
from the river miners in the Pittsburg
district indicate that there is almost
a total suspension of work in the pits
and that the strike so far as the river
miners are concerned is general.
A dispatch from Monongahela City
says:
“The bitter feeling betWeen the river
and railroad miners that has always
interfered when a strike was inaugu-
rated heretofore, and prevented good
results, has been lost sight of, and or-
ganized, unorganized and imported
miners have joined for one purpose.
Today there Were about 50 men at work
and 7,000 idle in the Monongahela val-
ley. The few men at work are in the
Chamouni mine, operated by the Tide
Coal company, and they are working
out a contract which expi s this
month. Yesterday a. few miners were
working at the Ivill Apollo, Acme, Fos-
ter and Clark mines, but nothing is be-
ing done at these pits today. Such a
complete suspension of mining has not
been witnessed in the Monongahela v'al-
ley for many years.
“Representatives Of several central
Pennsylvania and West Virginia coal
concerns are in the city. Several Oper-
ators whose offices they had visited
said there would be no trouble in filling
urgent orders held 1 the Pittsburg
operators, even should the suspension
here become thoroughly general. It
was said that representatives of the
Pennsylvania and West Virginia com-
panies were here trying to relieve local
operators of Pittsburg contracts. The
West Virginia representatives claimed
their state would be able to supply the
whole market during the strike, but
could not attempt to ship to the lakes.”
Government Aid Invoked.
New York, July 8.—The‘Evening Tel-
egram today publishes the following
special dispatch from Pittsburg:
The best evidence that the strike is
likely to assume serious proportions, de-
spite the denials of the operators, is
given by the operators themselves.
An idea. of what is expected was fur-
nished in Cincinnati when Myron -T.
Herrick and Robert Blickensdorfer, as
receivers for the Wheeling and Lake
Erie Coal company, asked the protec—
tion of the United States courts. These
receivers also control a railroad, and
they asked the protection of the United
States court for that. They said that
they feared that large forces Of strikers
would invade their property, burn their
works and railroad bridges and drive
their men from work.
An injunction was issued restraining
the strikers from interfering with the
property. Now, as a matter of fact,
this move is one of the most important
that has been taken on either side since
the men were ordered out. The re-
ceivership which Messrs. Herrick and
Blickensdorfer hold is a United States
receivership, and therefore the property
is entitled to all the protection the
United States can give it.
It looks very much like an attempt to
inaugurate in the coal fields, should the
strike get beyond control, the “govern-
ment by injunction” about which Bry-
an, Altgeld and Debs talked at the last
election.
A United States marshal has been
dispatched with deputies to the mines
which the receivers say are threatened.
Should these fail to preserve order,
United States troops will go next. Such
a step would bring the coal regions
very near to anarchy, and we would
probably have an incident quite as ex—
citing as that of the Debs strike a few
years ago.
The coal miners are in a bad way.
Their condition is worse than that of
any other class of labor in the United
States. It is probably worse than most
Of the poorer classes of labor in Eu-
rope.

morrow.

Glenwood, Minn., July 8.—A destruct-
lve tornado passed through the town of
Reno at about 2 o’clock. It started
about a. mile southeast of the village of
Lowry, destroying the barn and part
of the home of Iver Leigen. Every
building in the village of Lowry was
injured, seven dwelling houses, the de-
pot, a church, an elevator and a butch-
er shop being totally destroyed, while
the railroad tracks were twisted and
@legraph wires torn down and part of
a. mill carried aw.ay From Lowry the
storm continued in a. northeasterly di-
rection to the farm of Robert Peacock,
where it made a clean sweep of all the
buildings.
Nettie and a boy named Robert Mac—
Gowan were in the house, which was
carried about 20 rods. All were injured,
but will probably recover.1
The next point of injury in the path
of the storm was Thomas Andrews’
house, where the family took refuge in
the cellar and escaped with bruises.
All his farm buildings, including a new
brick house, are a total wreck.
From here the tornado moved about
due east to Samuel Morrows’. The
family were preparing to enter the cel-
lar when the storm struck, sweeping
the building from the foundations Of
the family of seven, Samuel Morrow
was injured so that he died within an
hour, and a 9- -—year —old daughter, An-
nie, was found dead by the rescuing
party. Five other members of the fam-
ily were injured.

killed in Pope county.

pel Turkey to Yield to the Powers.

sent a circular note to the powers, sug-
gesting that steps be taken to expedite

of Russia is regarded here as being of '
the greatest importance and as indi;
cating that Russia desires to forestall
a similar proposal upon the part of the
other powers. Both the palace and the
Turkish ministers were immediately
