PROGhESS ill STRIKE.
The Situation In the West Virginia
District Is Critical.
THE MILITIA IN READINESS.
Small Movement of Coal Reported—Ad-
missions of a Prominent Operator.
Systematic Efi‘ort to Induce All
the Miners to Go Out,
_ Wheeling, July 13.——A great change
has come ovel the miners of this state,
and the operators do not disguise their
intention to do their best to keep the
organizers from doing effective work.
Meetings were held at Thacker, Elk-
horn and Bluefield, but no definite ac-
tion was taken, though sympathy for
, the strike was expressed.
Governor Atkinson and Adjutant Gen-
eral Appleton are preparing for trouble.
Within the week 500 stands of arms have
been secured from the government for
the militia, with 500,000 rounds of am-
munition, including gatling cartridges.
The militia will be used as soon as there
is any reason for it. All the command-
ers have been communicated with and
ordered to ‘be ready.
It is announced that the Cleveland,
Lorain and Wheeling railroad began to-
day hauling West Virginia coal, but
there has been no trouble so far, as the
strike leaders are trying to keep their
men from creating disturbances.
The News Via. Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, July 13.—The new features
in the coal miners’ strike are the ar-
rival of the Ohio and Indiana state
boards of arbitration, the meeting of
the United Labor League of Western
Pennsylvania and the report that a
movement was on foot to import new
men to take the places of the strikers
at the Pittsburg and Chicago com-
pany’s mines.
At the United Labor league meeting
63 out of 72 labor organizations were
represented. Resolutions were unani-
mously adopted pledging financial and
moral support to the miners and call-
ing upon all the trades unions in west-
ern Pennsylvania to aid and assist in
every possible manner in furthering the
interests of the strikers.
W. H. Carney, vice president of the
Amalgamated association, and Rev.
Winston Green, the colored preacher-
miner, were appointed organizers and
ordered to begin work at once. Six
more organizers will be appointed this
week
' Messxs Carney and Green will hold a
meeting at Fayette City and will have
charge of a meeting of miners and their
wives at Gastonville. It is proposed to
interest the women as well as the men
inztiiit‘s moVement.
. The league also decided to send out
a circular to fill trades unions request-
ing an immediate assessment for the
benefit of the miners.
Previous to the adjournment a tele-
gram was‘received from President Si-
mon Burns, who is in Washington,
pledging the financial and moral sup-
port of the Window Glass Workers’ as-
sociation.
Judge S. N. Owen of Columbus, James
Bishop of Columbus and John Little of
Xenia, 0., members of the Ohio state
board of arbitration, and L. P. McCor-
mack and D. Frank Schmid of Indian-
apmlri's members of the Indiana labor
commission, have arrived in the city.

’ The Feeling In Cleveland.
Cleveland, July 13.-—The local coal
operators took a more hopeful View of
the strike situation today. Dan Hanna,
manager of M. A. Hanna & 00., said
that as long as the West Virginia coal
was mined there could be no particular
stringency, -°s there is sufficient coal
out of the . rth. already to last until
winter. Small dealers, however, are
squirming over their inability to get
coal for retail orders from the big deal—
ers. The big dealers will not part with
their supply. Not a pound of coal en-
tered the city today.
Positive information has been re-
ceived in this city that the Ohio roads
have decided to refuse to haul West
Virginia coal hereafter. These roads
include the B. and 0., the Cleveland,
Lorain and Wheeling, the Wheeling and
Lake Erie and the Cleveland, Canton-
and Southern. '
A prominent coal operator said that
unless the miners are represented at
the meeting of the boards of arbitration
at Pittsburg the whole thing will be a
farce.
“The miners are not in a position to
ask for arbitration," said he. ”They
do not want it. They have more than
fulfilled their claims. They have ac-
complished as much if not more than
they said they would. They are in a
position to dictate. In my opinion, the
strike will last 60 days at'least.” '
Mr. J. B. Zerbe of the Ohio and Penn—
sy’lvania company went to Pittsburg
today with Secretary Bishop of the
state board' of arbitration. They wi‘
attendthe meetings of the state boards
of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Destitution In Tennessee.
Chattanooga, July 13.——A special from
Jellico, Tenn., says there is great desti-
tution among the miners in that region.
many of them having large families and
not knowing where the next meal is
coming from. The men at these mines
have had little work’for nearly .two
years and as a consequence they have
nothing laid up. for a rainy day.
Tennessee Antitrust law.
Nashville, July 13.—The grand jury,
‘in pursuance of a recent charge of-Judge
Anderson directing an investigation of
the alleged formation of an ice trust
combine. has returned in the: court in-
diciznents against nine of the leading
tee manufacturers and dealers in the
~city, charging them with having form-
ed a. trust or combination to control the
supply and advance the price of ice.
Death of S. C. Allsop.
- London, July 13.—Samuel Charles All-
sop, Baron Hindlip, is dead. He was
born March. 24, 1842. He‘ was educated
at Harrow and Trinity college. For
many years he was identified with the
great brewing house of S. Allsop &
Sons, of which he was chairman at one
- time.

Doane’ s Kidney Pills cure sick kid-

Cure all kidney ills.
Hundreds of citizens testify to this.
Here is a case in pomt:
M1. R. G. Millard, of 51 West ave-
nue South N 01 walk engaged 1n the fu1
manufacturing business in West N01“-
walk says “I have had kidney t1 ouble
for years, and have taken so much
medicine and been under the. care of
physicians so often. that I ought to be
an authority on the question. I seemed
to be rid of my trouble for a time, but
it showed signs of returning and I
wanted to check it. I noticed some
published statements about Doane’s
Kidney Pills and procured a box at
Hale’s Pharmacy in N orwalk. They
helped me, and a continuance of the
treatment I believe will eventually ef-
fect a radical cure

OADETS UNDER ARREST.
A Naval Class In Sore Straits
Fourth of July Prank.
Annapolis, July 12.—As a result of a
Fourth of July prank the May cadets
of the fourth class, 37 in number, are
prisoners on the United States ship
Santee. Some one of the cadets, in de-
fiance of orders, exploded a torpedo on
the gun deck at night. The cadets
were ordered to turn out, but nothing
could induce them to expose the cul-
prit, and they were allowed to retuin

The National Association to Declare War
on the L. A. W. ..
New York, July 12.—The National .
Cycle Track association held an execu—
tive session at the Everett House last
night and as a result it is not improba-
ble that war will be declared on the L.‘
A. W. The matter of sanctions is the
point of all the trouble. The matter
was thoroughly discussed at the meet-
ing, but for the present the association
refused to divulge its plans. Eleven of
the largest cycle tracks,'including Man-
hattan Beach, Louisville, Buffalo, New-
ark, Boston, Springfield and Asbury
Park, were represented.
The trouble arises out of the refushl
of Chairman Mott of the L. A. W. rac-
ing board, to grant sanctions to certain
tracks on several occasions, because on
the dates asked for it so happened that
meets had been sanctioned in nearby
places. The Newark track has suffered
especially in this respect.
After the meeting Secretary Dueber
said. “Our members have over $2, 000, 000
invested in cycle tracks, and the re-
fusal of the racing board to grant sanc-
tions on such flimsy excuses is ridicu-
lous. It is unfair. Just'what steps will
be taken to remedy the matter, I can—
not say at present, but something will
be done, and done quickly.”
CAPTAIN KIRK SAW IT.
A Monster Sou. Serpent That Was Over
a Hundred reet Long.
' Marblehead, Mass, July 12.—Captain
John Kirk, a veteran fisherman, whose
reputation for veracity is unquestioned
and who is also a strict temperance
man, reports that he yesterday saw a
monster sea serpent.
Captain Kirk explains that he was
overhauling his trawl, and he heard a
puffing and felt an unusual swell near
the Half Wav rock's. Th\.1 he saw what
resembled steam. and about 100 yards
away he saw four finlike projections
above the surface of the water and 50
feet beyond them a small snakelike
head with bright eyes and bearded. the
thing was pushing out from the rocks,
and Captain Kirk thinks that he must
have seen, a hundred or more feet of
dark big eellike body squirming about
The Pope and Church lIIuslc.
Paris, July 12.—The VatiCan has call-
ed upon the French bishops to supply"
information as to the different kinds
of ecclesiastical music in their dio-
ceses, and the pope is preparing in-
structions on the subject, with the in-
tention of inaugurating certain, re-
forms, including the abolition of female
voices at liturgical services. While ap-
proving of instrumental music, his
holiness thinks it should (be limited to
the use of .the harp and the gentler
wind instruments, the violin being dis-
carded as sensual and profane. The
music of Haydn and Mozart does not
-meet with the, pope‘s approval. I
A FEARFUL DEATH LIST.
Three Hundred and Fifty Fatalities and
Two Thousand Prostrations by Heat.
Chicago, July 12.—The fierce heat un-
der which the greater portion of the
country has sweltered since the first
of July, has moderated in many localt- .
ties, and predictions from the weathe-r'
bureau at Washington indicate that
still lower temperatures will bring: gen-
eral relief within 24 hours.
The record of prostrations and deaths
resulting from the long heated term ap-
proaches in magnitude that of a gen-
eral epidemic. Reports from all sec-
tions of the country show prostratlons
numbering in the neighborhood of 2,000,-
with fatalities close to 350. In addition.
to this there were scores of deaths re—
sulting indirectly from the intolerable
heat, the death rate in many of the
large cities showing a fearful increase-
over previous years.
The central states suffered more se-
verely than other sections, the heat be-
ing most deadly in Chicago, Cincinnati
and St. Louis. Cincinnati and suburban
points report 65 deaths and St. Louis 42
deaths. Throughout the south the heat
was infiénse, but the death rate much
,lower than in the north.
In Chicago 87 people have died from
the effects of heat since July 1. In ad-
dition, six have been drowned while
bathing to escape the sizzling rays of
l the sun, six have been driven insane, a
like number have committed suicide,
while 347 prostrations, more or less, se-
rious have occurred.
BANKER MORGAN BEATEN.
Baltimore and Ohio Receivers Win Their
Case Despite His Opposition.
Baltimore, July 12.—The receivers 01'
the Baltimore and Ohio won their case
before Judge Goff of ,the United States
circuit court. They applied for per-
mission to buy 40,000 tons of 85 pound
steel rails at $17 a ton and to issue cer-
tificates for $680,000 to pay for them. J.
P. Morgan & Co. opposed the issuance
of more certificates and presented the
report of S. M. Felton, president of the
Queen and Crescent route, who said
that only 23,000 tons were needed.
In‘ his decision Judge Goff said the
opposition was strange to'him, as the
same parties had agreed to other im-
provements. He said that taking all
the facts and circumstances of the
case together and the line of policy in-
augurated in the beginning with the
consent of all parties to the controversy,
that it would be an act on the part of
the court that would show great dere-
liction of duty to all those who are in-
terested in this great property if it
would take any action that would tend
to cripple or destroy the earning power
of the Baltimore and Ohio company,
and it was because of this that he be-
lieved .it is essential to the earning
power, by virtue of which only it can
recover, that“ the receivers’ petition
should be granted.
O'arsm‘a‘n Ten Eyck‘ Vindicated.
London, July 12.—The Henley regatta
committee has decided that there is no
evidence against the amateur standing
of Mr. F. H. Ten Eyck, Jr., the Ameri-
can oarsman, who is entered for the
race for the Diamond Sculls at the Hen-
ley regatta next week.
WANTS TO FIGHT A DUEL.
General Albertane Will Very Likely Chalv
lenge Prince Henry of Orleans.
Rome, July 12.—General Albertans has
asked to be removed from active service
in order that he may reply to letters
from Prince Henry ofEOrleans, in which
the Italian army is accused of coward-
ice during the Abyssinian campaign. It
is supposed that General Albertone’s
object in seeking to be relieved is that
he may fight a duel with Prince Henry-
General Pelloux, the minister of war,
has refused to grant the request of
General Albertone, but will grant him a.
leave of absence for the benefit bf his
health.
Detachments of troops have been
sent to suppress the strikes among the
peasants in the provinces of Ferrara
and Bologna. Two peasants have been
killed in the riots.
Bony Back Smythe Dead.
Chicago, July 12.—Andrew E. Smythe,
the promoter of the Universal Gas
company of Chicago and who also fig-
ured in securing the famous Bacon
compressed air ordinance, is dead.
Smythe was better known in New York
and Philadelphia as Bony Back and
was probably one of the most widely
known gas promoters in the country.
He was instrumental in building some
of the largest plants in the world.
The Sultan Tenacious.
St. Petersburg, July 12.—It is under-
stood-that the sultan has telegraphed
to all the great powers messages simi-
lar to that sent to Emperor Francis
Joseph, appealing to them to consider
favorably the circular regarding the
frontier question. These messages were
handed to the powers yesterday by the
representatives of the porte accredited
to them.
Alger’s Engagements.
Washington, July 12. -Secretary A1-

Allison are expected to accompany him.
The secretary will stop at Chicago on
