A CRISIS IS IMPENDING.

Critical Point Reached In the Coal
Mining Situation.

STATUS IN WEST VIRGINIA.

Strike Leaders Hope to Bring the Work-
men Who Are Hesitating Into Line.
Much Expected by Both Sides
From the Conferences.

Pittsburg, July 27.—Lively times are
promised in the coal mining situation
this week. A crisis is impending. This
is conceded on all sides. The arbitraa
tion commissioners, on the one side, feel
hopeful that they will bring about the
initiative for a settlement at the meet-
ing of tomorrow. The miners’ officials,
on the other hand, claim to have
adopted measures that will make a
complete tie up. It has developed that
many of the West Virginia miners are
awaiting word from the Pittsburg dis-
trict and especially from the New York

- and Cleveland mines. They want to
hear or the miners in these mines hav-
ing joined the general suspension.

This, it is claimed by the officials,
will bring all the faltering oneSain West
Virginia into line, thus making the
strike effective in that it will shut off
the supply of coal. To accomplish this
arrangements have been made for Eu-
gene V. Debs and other prominent offi-
cials to come to this city and hold a
meeting for the benefit of the New York
and Cleveland miners Thursday morn-
ing.

Among the others expected to be
present are Samuel Gompers, M. D.
Ratchford, M. M. Garland and W. H.
Mahon. At this meeting it is intended
to strike a final decisive blow and if
possible make the tie up complete. The
place has not been selected as yet, but
it will be in a grove in close proximity
to the Turtle Creek, Sandy Creek and
Plum Creek mines of the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal company. The
reputation of Debs, it is expected, will
prove to be a magnet, and 12,000 miners
are looked for at the meeting.

Possible Trouble at De Armitt’s.

The meeting at Scottdale tomorrow of
the miners in the coke districts and the
meeting of laborieaders at Wheeling
are also looked upon as important fea-
tures at this period of the strike. Should
the Westmoreland miners be brought
out there are fears for serious trouble
at De Armitt’s mines.

Reports from the coke regions indi-
cate that t cokers are not likely to
come out. e board of arbitratOrs re-
port matters quiet, waiting on the re-
sult Of the meeting tomorrow, which,
they claim to think, means much to-
ward the result of the proposed settle-
ment of the strike by arbitration. An
effort is being made to have as many
river men attend the meeting as possi-
ble.

Cook & Sons’ Mine Running.

Canonsburg, Pa., July 27.—The mine
of Cook & Sons, at McGovern, is run-
ning today. About 100 men are at work.
There is no indication of trouble there.
The camping strikers are still on the
scene, about 100 fresh recruits arriving
there yesterday and about 50 more to-
day, bringing provisions enough .to last
them several days.

Many of the wives and children of the
encamped strikers from Miller’s Run
visited the camp. Thestrikers are still
hopeful of winning and are determined
to remain until an end is reached.

Young Not. Hopeful.
Cleveland,-July 27.—Mr. Thomas E.
Young, the manager for M. A. Hanna &
00., does not feel in a very hopeful
mood over the conference of operators
at Pittsburg tomorrow. He says that
the outlook is most discouraging for a
settlement; All the Cleveland operators
will attend the conference, and they
express themselves as eager for a set-
tlement upon some satisfactory agree-

ment. The coal supply is low.

Organizers Disheartened.

Fairmont, W. Va., July 27.—The
great break among the miners failed to
take place and the organizers are dis-
heartened. Debs and Mahon have gone
to Wheeling, not expecting to return.
All depends on the action of the execu-
tive boards of the labor organizations
at Wheeling tomorrow. The men at
Hutchinson and Luther today both join-
_ed the strikers, but as the four Wat-

son mines still stand solid the move:

As far as the
the

ment has been a failure.
Fairmont district is concerned
strike is a failure.

No Coal For Thrashing;

Bloomington, 1115., July 27.—A very
serious aspect of the coal strike in cen-
tral Illinois is presented in the fact
that the oat harvest is at its height and
there is not a pound of coal obtainable
for the thrashing. Rain falls almost ev-
ery day, and it is necessary to thrash
the grain quickly or stack it. The farm—
ers in their dilemma threaten to make a
raid on the coal which the railroads
have stored along their lines. Where
wood is procurable it serves as a make-
shift fuel, and wood is being hauled
eight and ten miles for this purpose,
but there are many places where it is
imposlible to get wood. Farmers got
coal here last week in small quanti-
ties and hauled it many miles. At
Roanoke, when the miners resumed
work, farmers, bought coal which they
' had to haul 25 and 30 miles.

 

An Injunction Against Debs.

Fairmont, W. Va., July 27. ——Today
the Monongah Coal company, Senato1
J. N. Camden's plant, and the West
Fairmont Coal company, ex-Governor
Fleming's plant, got out an injunction
before the circuit court restraining Eu-
gene V. Debs et al. from interfering
with their men. The et al. take in
Mahon, Rea, Crosslet, Miller and over
100 miners. ’

New York, July 27.—The $500,000 in
gold which it was announced last week
would be shipped abroad on the, 27th
inst. by Kidder, Peabody & Co of Bos-

THE minim RBBELLION.

A Passenger From Manilla Who Thinks
It Is Irrepressible.

San Francisco, July ,12'h—Among the
passengers on the steamer China. from'
the orient was H. D. Levlnsohn, the
representative in New Zealand of one
of the largest sugar factories in Manil-
la. Mr. Levinsohn has just come from
Manilla, where, he says, the insurrec-
tion of the natives is still in progress.
“From present indications and fromvall
I could learn during my sojourn in Ma-
nilla,” he said, “the Spanish authorities
will never be able to subdue the insur-
rectionists. It is a common report in
Manilla that the papers are not allowed
to print the truth. They are all under
a press censorship. It was credibly re-
ported in that city shortly after a recent
engagement that the natives had killed
60 of the Spanish soldiers and lost only
2 of their number. As soon as the rainy
weather sets in, which will be very
shortly, you may have some further re-
ports of hostilities, and the victories will
be on the side of the rebels.

“A regiment of Spanish soldiers came
into Manilla from the interior during
my stay in the city‘, and they were the
saddest lot of men I ever saw. Some of
them wore shoes and others did not.
Many were more or less distressed for

the want of proper clothes.”

May Seize the Bermuda.

fruit steamship Leon, from Port An—
tonio, Jamaica, brought advices that
proceedings had been begun by the
court of admiralty at Kingston against
the owners of the British steamship
Bermuda to have her forfeited to the
crown. This step was taken for an al—
leged breach of the merchants’ shipping
act caused through a reported defect
in the seamship’s registration.

Miscegenation In Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, July 27.—The negro ques-
tion has caused strife and secession in

woman. Meetings were held, at which
the minister was denounced, and these
culminated today in the secession of
half of the congregation.

tally shot by a negro named Matthew

Washington Navy Yard Fire.

Washington, July 27.—It is thought
the fire in the Washington navy yard

master. A court of inquiry has been
ordered to investigate.
