.Bngland Believes the United States I.
Trying to Force a Ward.
London, July 19.411113 Sunday papers
review the letter of Seeretary of State
John Sherman and camment at length
upon the Bering sea 'controversy. The
references of The Observer follow:
“As couched, such terms could not be
employed by any other civilized nation
not determined upon war. If anything
is meant by the letter it means a men--
ace to Great Britain. and the combined
hostility of the United States and Bus-
sia. Unfortunately, the party in power
in the United States is under tempta-
tions to distract attention from the
failure to dispel depression.’
The weekly papers take virtually the
same View as the dailies with reference
to Sec1etary S-herman's- dispatch on the
The Spectator says;
“He scolds the British government as
if ministers were a set of mean, under—
hand, thieving scoundrels. It is abso-
lutely essential that Lord Salisbury
should refuse to consider the question
in any shape until he has received an
apology for such Wanton imputation‘s."
The Speaker says. "MT. Sherman is
subordinate who was for the time her
ing oppreSsed by the heat. Its language
is quite strong enough to justify the
suspension of all diplomatic relations
if that were worth while. ”
The Morning Post’s editorial yester-
day suggesting that the time would
come when a certain class of Americans "
would force a war, represents the true
conviction of a majority of the Eng-
lish people, who firmly believe that the
United States is seeking a war with
Great Britain. An interesting corre-
spondence confirming this view of the
matter appears in The Morning Post.
One correspondent says: “History re-
peats itself. We should at once find
that, as in 1812, on Foruisers, though
more numerous, wdu d relatively be in-
ferior for offensive and defensive oper-
ations against thoée Opposed to them.
Moreover, as regards familiarity in the
use of high explosive shells, both at sea
and on shore, we are not in it with the
Americans. It seems to me that we are
rapidly approaching the crisis in our
our existence as an empire.’
JAPAN AND SPAIN.
The Report of Their Alliance Against
the United States Said to Have"
Been Confirmed.
London, July 19.—A dispatch from
Paris to a news association says that
ports of the Spanish- Japanese alliance
against the United States government
indicates that, despite the repeated de-
nials, there is reason to believe that
early developments may "prove that
there is some truth-in the information.
The rumor of the Spanish-Japanese
alliance against the government of- the
United States came from Madrid.
“The “report has been confirmedby cer-=
tain members of interested embassies,
who are-likely .to be acquaintedwith
the subject.
T111: BIG STRIKE.‘
West Virginia Miners In Line “'1": Penn-
sylvania and Ohio.
Wheeling, July 19.—A few days ago
the representatives of the national as-
sembly of the United Mine Workers of
America came’int’o southwestern West
Virginia. At that time the mines were in
operation, and larger amounts of coal
were being turned out daily than ever
before in the history of this region.
Today the situation is entirely chang-
ed. Working with unceasing energy,
the representatives of the miners have
turned the scale little by little, and now
the miners in the: Elkhorn, Logan,
Thacker and Shamokin fields, alongthe
Norfolk and Western, have laid down
their picks and swore fealty to the cauSe
of their Pennsylvania and Ohio breth-
ren.
They are 5,000 strong, and in addition
to quitting work themselves the- edict
has gone forth from~ them that the
mines in the Flat Top and Pocahontas
fields must also close.
The agents of the strikers will leave
for the last named fields at once, and
there a new campaign will be opened
in the expectation that it will be no
less successful than here. It is believed
that by tomorrow night not a miner in
this region, outside of the Winni‘frede
mines, will be at work, and that in a
short time the whole state will be
tied up.
Dun-ant and the Stars.,

stances, and it is believed that time will
be' given fordue tuning up of the en-
gines before the trial is had.

high speed as some members othhe
board figured the craft was making
when she broke‘down. They feel satis-
fled to say that she was making up-
ward of 30 knots, but do not think she
had reached her limit.
