THE BIG pp SIR u.

Indications That It Is About to As-
, sumo Huge Proportions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RAILROADS ARE DESPERATE.

 

Fearing a Goal Famine-.They Are Now
Confiscating Coal In Transit Over
Their Lines—Trouble Antici-
pated at Some Points.

|

Cleveland, July 9.—Every mine in the
Massillon district is idle. Nearly every
great freight lake carrier between this
port and the head of the lakes is With-
out a cargo. Whatever coal is coming
into this city from the mines of rWest
.Virginia is being confiscated by the
railroad companies. One shipper dis-
covered today that he had lost 200 car-
loads of coal.

Railroads are seizing coal right and
left. and shippers of fuel to this point
have no reason to believe that it will
reach its consignee. Shippers who have
mines cannot figure positively on get-
i-ng any of it, as the coal is the proper-
ty of the railroads as long as it is in
their hands, according to prevailing
custom.

Lake traffic will be paralyzed in a
week if the strike is not settled within
that time. Several big manufacturing
plants will be obliged to shut down
within a; week if the strike is not set-
tled. This city is in 'many respects the
most seriously affected .of any in the
country.

The Strike Growing.

Pittsburg, July 9.——Reports from all
fields outside the Pittsburg district
show that the coal miners’ strike is
steadily growing. The men in the
Jackson (0.) district have gone out and
suspension is spreading rapidly in Illi-
nois and Indiana. That operators fully
realize the gravity of the situation is
shown by"the fact that the number
who are willing to pay the demanded
advance in the rate increases hourly.
Ten of them in the Pittsburg district,
25 in Ohio and 20 more in the fields of
the west and south have offered to
come into line. The Plttsburg mining
district is the obstacle. The big com-
panies, like F. L. Robbins & 00., offer
60 cents, and say they will not exceed
that amount. No permissibn to work
has yet been granted' to operators who
desire to pay the rate, and none is ex-
pected for some days.

President M, D. Ratchford’s esti-
mates, compiled from reports made by
district presidents, are as follows:

“Jackson county (0.) miners suspend-
ed spanimoursly. Twenty thousand out
in Illinois. suspension spread'ug rap-
idly. Eighty per cent of Indiana miners
out, followed by others today, making
it almost general, even at this early
day. Ohio is solidly in line. Reports
from other districts very encouraging,

particularly from the south. ., ,,

:7 West Virginia Men Out.

' "Monangah Coal and Coke company
and entire Wheeling district of West
Virginia suspended. Companies adver-
tising for miners. Wheeling Creek, 0.,
also out."

The latter district referred to has al-
ways been considered the weakest point
of any strike. , It is a district that broke
the national suspension three years ago.
All the operators have been calculating
upon filling contracts from this district.

In the Pittsburg district the extensive
scope of the strike this afternoon sur-
prised even the miners. They had ex—
’ pected no general suspmsion until next
Monday, but when the last district
Ieader had reported it was shown be-
'yond a doubt that over 18,000 men of
the 23,000 in the district had quit. Near—
ly all the contract men are out.

The railroads have inaugurated a
wholesale system of confiscation to get
fuel. No. consignment of coal left on
any of the sidings is now likely to reach
its destination.

The Baltimore and Ohio company,
which confiscated coal consigned to the
United States government engineers at
Davis and Herr's Island dams, has be-
come involved in a controversy with
the government. Captain ‘ Martin of
'the engineers has notified the company
that unless it gives him at least half of
the coal he will put his case in the
hands of the United States district at-
torney.

It is not improbable that the miners’
leaders will endeavor to extend the
strike throughout the anthracite re-

gion.

Riots Feared In Ohio.

Cincinnati, July 9.—United States
Marshal Devanney has left with 20 dep-
uty marshals for Dillonvale, Jefferson
county, to protect the foreigners em-
ployed- in the mines by Myron T. Her-
rick and‘ Robert Blickersderfer, receiv-
ers 'of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
Railroad company. The miners are
out, but are willing to return to work.
They are afraid, however, that the
strikers will attack them. State Mine
Inspector Hazeltine predicts that trou-
ble will ensue at Dillonvale when the
mines are opened. Race enmity is
strong against the foreign miners.

 

Guard For Coal Trains.

Massillon, 0., July 9.——The Wheeling
and Lake Erie railway began to haul
W’est Virginia coal into Ohio. Two
trainloads passed north, but no trouble
was experienced. The miners are sul-
len: and it is believed by some that
they may resort to force to prevent the
moving of trains if'the railway persists
in hauling this coal‘. Deputy marshals

have been stationed along the line of.

the road to prevent interference with
trains and thepossl‘ble destruction of
bridges.

State to Investigate.
Indianapolis, July 9. ——'State Labor
Commissioners L. P. McCormack and
B. F. Schmid went to Terre Haute to-

day to investigate the strike.

Dock Burned at West Superior.

West Superior, Wis.,.. July 9.——Fire
caught in the hard coal portion of the
west end dock of the Youghiogheny,
New York and Lehlgh Coal company,
and the structure, with 8,000 tons of
coal, was destroyed. Loss, about $58,-
000; insured.

Big Blaze In Chicago.
Chicago, July 9.—The dock warehouse
ofthe Chicago and Alton Railroad com-
pany burned today. Besides the ware-
house about 40 loaded freight cars
were consumed. The loss is estimated
at,,$200,000 to $250,000. '

and What They Say is
of Local Interest.

Whenan incident like the following
occurs right here at home it is bound
to carry weight with our read ers. When
so many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press, are published as
facts, when the intelligent reader knows
they cannot be true, there is no wonder
that people become skeptical. On one
subject skepticism is rapidly disappear—
ing. This is due to the actual personal
experience of our citizens, and their
public utterances regarding them. The
doubter must doubt no more in the face
of such evidence as this. The public
statement of a reputable citizen living
right here at home, one Whom you can
see every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on. ,

Mrs. John Grace, of 32 Plattsville
avenue, says: “i1 am well up in years,
and for quite a long time I have suffered
with my back and kidneys. The pain
often extended down into my limbs and
was frequently so severe that I sup-
posed I had rheumatism. I was advised
to use Doan’s Kidney Pills, and began
taking them. I think the pills are a.
good thing, they cured me.”

Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6
boxes for $2.50. Sent by mail on receipt

Til—RKBY IS DEPIANT.

The Sultan Is About to Test the Sinner-icy
« of the Great Powers. .
London, July 9.—The Turkish porte

today dispatched a. circular to its rep-

resentatives abroad containing a skill-
ful defense of the Turkish case and de-
clining to consider any frontier line in

Thessaly north of the River Peneios.

which it regards as the natural bound-

ary.

The sultan has convinced himself that
the powers will not resort to coercion
and has decided to test the alleged con-
cert of Europe to the utmost. He sum-
moned a council of ministers for an ex-
traordinary sitting to the Yildiz Kiosk
Monday, \Vilh the result that, after a
heated discussion, a report was drawn
up in favor of resuming hostilities if
peace should not be concluded within a
week. '

The minister of war sent telegrams to
Edhem Pasha announcing the decision.
NThe Turks are rapidly strengthening
their positions in Thessaly, massing
troops at Domoko, fortifying Valestino
and in other ways intrenching them-
selves more firmly. The Thessallan
harvest has already, been reaped by the
Turkish soldier-y, and large' quantities
of grain have been stored at Elassona.

According to a circumstantial report
of a comersatpn between the sultan
and an officer of his household, the sul—
tan complained that the war had been
forced upon him and that when he was
victorious Europe refused him either
territory or indemnity. Therefore he

intended to resist to the utmost. He
said:
“We have nothing to fear. The six

powers failed to coerce Vassos and his
2,000 adventurers. What can they do
against 300.000 victorious troops in Rou-
melia? Supp ing they wished to co-
erce me, who ould undertake the task?
I have information from all the capitals
of Europe indicative of the indecision
of the powers.

“Edhem was a fool not to have sur-
rounded the Greek army and to have
advanced to Athens, but he may be
there yet. If no concessions are made
within a few days, I shall give the order
to advance. We can dictate our own
terms from the Greek capital."

A Warning to Turkey.

Vienna, July 9. ——The semiofflclal
F‘remdenblatt today warns Turkey that
the harmony of the powers is not im-
paired and that the policy of the Turk—
ish government is doomed to failure if

it counts upon a disagreement. The
Fremdenblatt adds: “Russia. and
France, like the other powers, have

agreed that the negotiations must be
brought to a close, and the porte Will
become convinced that its attempts to
deduce extreme consequences from the
Turkish victories are vain and must
fall before the‘flrm will of Europe."

 

LIEUTENANT PEARY’S STEAMER.

The Hope Expected In Boston Next Tues-
day to Embark His Party.

Boston, July 9.—Lieutenant Robert
W. Peary‘s chartered steamer Hope
left St. John’s, N. F., for this port, ac-
cording to advices received by Russell
W. Porter of this city. The Hope will
probably arrive here next, uesday. or

Wednesday and start nor’t with the
Peary expedition, probably not later
than the following Friday. She will.-

sail direct for Sydney and there take
on coal for the long cruise to Green-
land. Lieutenant Peary will return
with his party in time for several mem-
bers of the expedition to return to the
colleges. ‘

The Baffin Land expedition, under the
direction of Mr. Porter, will be'landed
by Lieutenant: Peary about the 15th
inst. at the American whaling station
at Signuia point, at the north entrance
of Frobisher bay. When Lieutenant
Peary calls at Baflln Land, between
Sept. 10 and 15, on his return from the
north, all of Mr. Porter’s party will sail
home on the Hope except Mr. Porter
and his comrade, Mr.’Alfred V. Shaw
of Newton. The latter will spend the
Winter in Baffin Land andwill ;,not re-
turn to civilization for 16 months. Mr.
Porter has already enrolled in his party
seven men, including himself and Mr.
Shaw. He does not expect to take
more than eight, as a greater number
would be hard to manage and provide
for. The other members of the Baflin
Land expedition are Dr. Delano Fitz-
gerald, a Baltimore physician, and his
son, Charles G. Fitzgerald, who is a
Harvard student in the class of 1900;
W. A. Botal of Chicago, who is also a
Harvard student; F. G. Goodrich of
New York, a graduate this year at
Harvard, and J. Neilson Carpenter of
“New Brunswick, N. J., of Rutgers col-
lege.

Ex-Collector Welburn Bailed.

San Francisco, July 8.——Olln M. Wel-
burn, ex-collector of internal revenue,
has been released from jail on bonds
of $5,000.

Minister Storer at His Post.
Brussels, July 8.—Mr. Bellamy Storer,

 

gium, has arrived here.
