DOLAN ARRESTED roR RIOT.
There Was No Disorder, However, and Be

Trying to Induce Workmen to
Leave—A Large Meeting.
I
Pittsburg, Aug. 3.—Early today the
coal: mine strikers at Camp Determina-
tiohfiwere aroused and 500 men were Or-
demure) march to the Sandy Creek
mi Sand 500 to the Plum Creek mines.
.The ,Ifnarch began, with Patrick Dolan,
district president, heading the force go-
ing to Sandy Creek. After proceeding
a short distance Dolan was served with
a writ at the instance of Thomas P. De
Armitt, the mine operator, charging
him with rim: and unlawful assembly.
For a time great excitement prevailed
among the marchers, but Dolan quieted
them by saying that he would be all
right and soon join them. He was tak-
en back to the justice’s office, and the
marchers proceeded. Secretary Warner,
Cameron Miller and other leaders were
included in the writ. The incident
caused a very ugly feeling among the
strikers.
President Dolan subsequently gave
bail for a hearing on Wednesday and
again joined the strikers. Speaking of
his arrest, he commented bitterly on the
action of De Armitt, He accuses the
operators of trying’ themselves to incite
riot by causing an arrest at such a time
and place. He claims that he was not
disturbing any one and that his arrest
was made without cause. 'He thinks
:he arrest,'however, will help the cause
of the strikers.
Three hundred strikers from the
Beech Cliff mines, on the Panhandle
railroad, marched through the city,
bound for Camp Determination, at Tur-
tle Creek. The men were mostly for”
eigners and carried canes and clubs.
About an hour afterward another band
entered the city from the west and
marched ,toward the-De Armitt mines.
They were the Imperial miners, 400
strong, headed bya brass band. After
passingithe Oakland power house, the
band started up a lively march. Four
hundred men from the Third Mononga-
hela pool mines passed‘through Mc-
Keesport, bound for Turtle Creek. They
were headed by two bands and carried
an American flag. The procession was
an orderly one.
Montour Men Present.
It is stated that all the miners of the
Montour Run railroad were at the
meeting today. None of these delega-
tions had been counted upon by the
strikers’ officials when listing the ex-
pected recruits from this end of the
district.
The battle of the strikers to induce
De Armitt’s men to come out was
waged through the night and early
morning, with apparently no further
gains over last week. The marchers at
9 o’clock this morning ”in the vicinity
of the Turtle Creek mine numbered 1,500
men. This is known by actual count of’
a body of 1,036 men and a careful esti-
mate of smaller bodies. If reports re-
ceived by the leaders are true, there
were 3,500 men on the ground at 2
o’clock this afternoon. Other bodies ar-
rived every few minutes during the
morning with brass hands. This means
a long fight if the leaders are able to
continue the good order among the men.
So far during the marching not a strik-
er has shown signs of intoxication.
\Vhile the ranks of the strikers at
Turtle Creek were being augmented,
parties Of marchers were in the field to
induce the miners not. to go to work.
About 250 assembled at the Plum Creek
, mine before the men started to work.
Two lines were formed, and as the dig-
gers neared the pit’s mouth they passed
between the lines of strikers. There
was no attempt at force, but a number
of the diggers stopped and talked with
the strikers and then passed on into the
mine. Some were induced to come out.
About an hour later the strikers moved
off in the direction of the McCrea
schoolhouse.
None Quit at Oak Hill.
At the Oak Hill mine a demonstration
was made, but "no men were induced to
quit work. How many men are in the
mine is not known. The strikers say
only 8, but it is known that 15 new man
went in. At the Sandy Creek mine
many men are out. The company offi-
cersusay that 100 are at work, while the
strikers say that only 22 men went in
today.
At 9:15 o’clock the marchers left Tur-
tle Creek, about 2,000 strong, and start-
ed for the mass meeting at the McCrea
schoolhouse. The procession was head-
ed by four brass bands.
Speeches were made in the English,
Italian and Hungarian languages. The
greatest enthusiasm was manifested,
but there was no disorder. The speak-
ers ail cautioned the strikers against
breaking the law. President Doian,
who arrived later, said that out of 1,000
miners employed in the mines but 60
were at work.
Secretary Warner was in the city and
sent out two wagon loads'of provisions
to camp. He said that he was busy
with the commissary department.

MORE STEAMERS ORDERED.

Diggings Which Rival Klondike Have
Already Been Found—A Petro-
leum Lake Discovered.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 3.—The North-
ern Transportation and Trading com-
pany has let a contract to Moran Bros. '
of Seattle for the immediate construc-
tion of three new river steamers to ply
on the Yukon river from St. Michael’s
to Dawson City and for a tug to be
used in the vicinity of St. Michael’s.
The same company will bring three
steamships around the Horn- from the
Atlantic coast this winter to Seattle
and use them on the run to St. Mi-
chael’s.
Rivals of the Klondike.
San Francisco, Aug. 3.—The most in-
teresting feature of the mail advices
that come from the Klondike will be
the details of the mining strikes made
on Stuart and Pelly rivers this sum-
mer. Several times since the arrival of
the Klondike miners with their nug-
gets from Bonanza, and El Dorado
creeks stories have been afloat of still
richer fields on Stuart creek and other
creeks farther east. None of the re-
turned Klondikers was able to give
information on the subject. Many have
mined with limited success on Stuart,
Pelly and other rivers before striking
rich dirt on the Klondike’s tributaries.
The only hint of what has been found
comes through Surveyor Ogilvie in the
following news from Ottawa, received
at Victoria, B. C.:
“While the government officials are
extremely reticent as to the latest ad-
vices from Surveyor Ogilvie and In-
spector Constantine, the fact has leaked
out that those officials have assured
their departments that scores of miners
are deserting the Klondike for a richer
district farther east, believed to be
Stuart river, where, it is said, still more
wonderful deposits have been discover-
ed this spring.”
The last letter from Mr. Ogilvie was
dated Yukon river, near {Vhite river,
June 7, and contained this i ' )rmation:
“As opportunity presents it , if to send
you a few lines, I take advantage of a
friendly log on the bank, with my
camera box for a desk, to write a short
account of my doings since I last wrote,
on Jan. 30. I have made a survey of all
the claims applied for at or near Daw-
son. I surveyed nearly 2,000 claims on
Bonanza and El Dorado creeks and got
nearly all, if not all, disputes on these
creeks—and there were many—settled
quickly and without trouble, and, as
was most important, educated miners
pretty well in the requirements of the
mining laws. I am now on my way to
Pelly to make a survey of claims ap-
plied for there," when I will go but via
St. Michael’s and San Francisco.” . '
Pelly river is about parallel with
Stuart river and enters the Yukon
about 40 miles higher up. Both rivers
are on the right or east bank of the Yu-
kon and are east of Dawson City. The
Pelly has also been prospected by some
Klondikers with little if any success,
but this is no proof that other prospect-
ors have not been more fortunate.
The Old, Old Story.
Seattle, “7ash., Aug. 3.—The steamer
Alki, from Juneau and Taiya, arrived
early today, being detained a little over
her usual time by adverse wind. She
has postponed Sailing till tomorrow.
More passengers and freight are offer-
ing than she can carry, and many are
turned away.
Her officers report busy scenes at
Taiya, with huge stocks of freight and
baggage piled up along the beach and a
tented city of prospective millionaires
scattered among the trees and brush.
They are organized into small parties of
from 4 to 20. and those experienced in
camping and packing are making fair
progress, while the inexperienced are
not faring so well, but all are hopeful
and think they will be able to get
through the first trying ordeal all right.
The officers also confirm the report of
the exodus from Juneau, Douglas and
other places in south Alaska. The
towns are almost abandoned by able-
bodied men, and the stores are cleaned
out of their stock of outfitting goods.
Among the first men to try the White
pass to the Klondike is Mr. Bratnober,
an American mining expert, who has
been in the employ of the Rothschilds
for many years and is still engaged
with them. He and his guides antiCi-
pated making the trip from tidewater
to Dawson in 40 days andexpected to
accomplish it on horseback the greater
part of the distance. '
Petroleum Lake In Alaska.
San Francisco, Aug. 3.-—'—While the
world is excited over the gold discover-
ies in the north, sight has been lost of
another discovery that promises to be
of great value. Several months ago a
lake of almost pure petroleum was dis-
covered, and samples were sent to Se-
attle for analysis. The report has just
been made public, and the find is re-‘
ported to be of great richness. .A com-
pany has been formed in Seattle to ban-
dle the product, and travelers say that
the company intends to put it on the
Alaskan market at once. The lake is
of unknown depth, several miles wide
and 5 to 6 miles in length. It is only
two miles from the ocean. The hills
surrounding are said to be rich in coal
and' asphalt. It is the expectation of
the owners of the lake to take its prod-
ucts into the mining camps of northern
Alaska whenever the waterways will
permit. '
The Floods In Europe.
Vienna, Aug. 3.——Reports received
here from all sections show that the
floods give no signbf abatement. The
Danube has overflowed its banks at
every point, doing incalculable damage.
The town of Enns, at the junction'bf
the river Enns and the Danube, in up-
per Austria, is practically Submerged,
Upward of 200 houses are almost wholly
under water.
