Gaining at De Armitt’s—Wo- men Aid the Strikers. Pittsburg, Aug. 4.—Signatures were appended today to the “uniformity agree— ment” which has been in preparation for a week. The last corrections were made late last night, and the completed documents were ready for the commit- tee this morning. Those members of the committee who are coal producers signed it, and will at once start out to . try to secure the signatures of owners or managers of the'141 mines which are named as necessary to be included within the compact. Those who were appointed by the convention of opei‘a- tors to put the document in proper form and to consult with attorneys as to its legal aspects are confident that the compact will be acceptable and will be signEd by the required 95 per cent of the owners or managers and that a better day dawns upon the coal industry of the Pittsburg district. The general purpose and provisions 01 the agreement are generally understood. Its provisions for binding those who give adhesion to it are new.- After its submission to a number of the leading attorneys of the. Allegheny county bar it was decided that certain features re- quired change in order that it might be binding in law. The changes sug- gested were made and are substantially incorporated in the eleventh section or paragraph, which provides that all dis- putes shall be submitted to the commis- sion. If the decision rendered by the commission is not satisfactory, an ap- peal can be taken and the matter placed in the hands of a board of arbitration for final settlement. The Award to Be Final. The agreement shall then be filed in the county courts, and thereafter the decisions shall have the same force and effect as a rule of court. The award will be final and conclusive upon all parties, and execution for the amount of such award and costs may issue forthwith for collection. It is hoped to have the required num- ber of signers in time to call them to- gether some time within the present month to perfect arrangements to car- ry the agreement into effect. A meet- ing before the last of the month is not deemed probable. When this has been done, the Operators will be ready to confer with the miners about the settle— ment of the strike and to perpare for a joint meeting of miners and operators to agree on a wage scale to go into ef- fect concurrently with the uniformity agreement on Jan. 1, 1898. The strikers are apparently slowly winning their points about.the De Ar- mitt mines. They have already prac- tically closed the Sandy Creek and Oak Hill mines, and the Plum Creek men are coming out in small bodies. The marchers claim they have succeeded in inducing those of the miners who live at Coalport, where the Plum Creek tipple is located, to join the ranks. This reduces the number of men in the mine to 50. The Plum Creek miners living at Center, near the pit mouth, entered the mine today, some of them in the usual way and others through an open- ing that was not guarded. There are 350 men near the mine, and as soon as possible a large tent will be procured for them to sleep in. They have a brass band and received a wagon load of pro- ViSlOllS. Strikers Are Sanguine. The success of the campers in bring- ing out the Coalport miners brightened the spirits of the men and made- them mcre sanguine of ultimate success. At an early hour they left camp and went to the main entrance of the mine, leaving the Center mouth unguarded, through which most of the diggers at work passed. It being impossible to in- duce the men to come to the meetings, the campers had a committee call at the houses of the miners and talk over the situation with the families. Good results are expected, and a statement was issued by the committee that in three days Plum Creek mine would be idle. The miners in camp near Sandy Creek began the march at 3:30 a. m. and took positions near'the pit's mouth. They were elated by seeing only three men go in. They could not tell whether they were diggers or day men. The Turtle Creek campers, number- ing 2,000 men, divided into two bodies at 4 a. In. One party stopped at New- town and the other continued up the road till they came to the pit’s mouth. They remained until 6 o’clOck, when, being satisfied that 'only a few men had entered the mine, they returned to camp for breakfast. ‘ There is no scarcity of provisions. Liberal donations are being continually received. The Turtle Creek merchants are doing all they can to feed the men, but to satisfy their hunger is not an easy task. The strike leaders are con- sidering the question of thinning out the camp, so that it will not be a burden upon their sympathizers. - “’onlen Volunteer as Cooks. At about 9 o’clock a dozen women Walked into camp. They are the wives of miners, and when they said they had come to stay as long as their husbands and brothers were there, and would cook, they were given three cheers. They had read in the papers that'the men were footsore and tired, and last night held a. meeting at Willock and raised money enough to pay their trans- portation, and more will follow. President Dolan expressed himself as positivc' that the strike will be over in two weeks after De Armitt’s mines are closed. The total output of the Oak Hill m-ne was, eight cars and it will be less. as fewer men are at work. When running full, the capacity is 120 to 140 cars. The new men are not at work now. Dolan having found a way to keep them out. These men, it is claim- ed, were Italian laborers on the Pitts- burg, Bessemer and. Lake Erie railroads and were promised 25 cents more a day. Dolan learned where they were board- ing and sent his men there to sleep. They induced the Italians to return to work on the railroad. ' ' The Strik‘e In Illinois. Illsq Aug. 4.—-—0ne hundred Odin, striking miners from Breese, O’Fallon. . . i‘ Trenton and Belleville invaded this town and several hundred more are ex- pected from neighboring mines. The men‘encamped near the town. Farthing has deputized 40 citizens to act as marshals and prevent violence. The mines here are Operated by ‘a full force of men. The Situation at Monongah. Fairmont; W. Va., Aug. 4,—The in- junction ,of Judge Mason Was served on several miners today at Monongah, but no one appeared against them, and they were released. The report that organizers under the guise of miners had entered the Watson mines was confirmed today by one of them. “We now show our hands,” he said, “and there is a surprise in store for the oper- ators. I have organized the men, with a few exceptions, and there [will be a general suspension here by next Mon- day.” WORRMRN IN DANCER. A Bomb Exploded Under a Factory Ten- ement at Hudson. Mass. Hudson, Mass, Aug. 4.—-This com- munity was startled at an early hour by a heavy explosion, which was fol- lowed by an alarm .of fire from the Whistle of the L. S. Apsley Rubber company’s factory, and it was soon learned that an attempt had been made to blow up a section of the tenement building owned by the rubber company in which several workmen who are em- ployed at the factory in the place of strikers have been boarding. The explosion, it is thought, was caused by a dynamite bomb which had been placed under the piazza of a house occupied by a Mrs. Clark. The pia'zza was demolished, portions of the under- pinning were blown out, and a large section of the floor was torn up, causing damage amounting to several hundred dollars. The place where the trOuble occurred was at the eastern end of a block, about 300 feet long. containing nine tenements. It is the opinion of the authorities that the affair was merely an attempt on the part of some unknown person; to frighten the workmen who have come here in opposition to the wishes of the striking employees of the factory. They are investigating the case. THE EASTERN MUDDLB. A Division of the Turkish Fleet Has Been Ordered to Sail For Crete. Paris, Aug. 4.—According to a dis- patch received here today from Con— stantinople a division of the Turkish fleet has been ordered to sail for Kha- nia, island of Crete. ' Constantinople, Aug. 3.—-Three Turk- Ish ironclads have left the Dardanelles. If the above statement is correct, fresh trouble may be anticipated in the settlement Of the Greco-Turkish peace preliminaries. It has been reported for some time that the Turkish government was contemplating landing additional Turkish troops in Crete, and on Thurs— day last the admirals in command of the foreign fleets in Cretan waters held a conference and decided to oppose by force the landing of any such re-en- forcements. They notified Ismail Bey, the Turkish civil governor, of the deci— sion, but he replied that he could not accept it. Postmasters Appointed.

The Big Trust Is to Have Another Rap at the Arbuckle Brothers. Philadelphia, Aug. 3.——‘The .War be- tween the Sugar itrust and ,Arbuckle Bros, the big coffee roasters, which has carried the trust into the coffee trade and the Arbuckles into the mysteries of sugar refining, is soon to be transferred in part to this city. , ' Some time ago the trust, in order to strike at the Arbuckles, bought control of-the Woolson Spice company of To- ledo, one of the largest coffee houses in the country, and now it proposes to convert the old Delaware Sugar house at Reed and Swanson ~streets into a great coffee roasting establishment, from which the trade along the Atlantic seaboard may be easily reached. The old sugar house, which was formerly an independent refinery, was purchased by 'the trust about the same time that it secured control of the Spreckels and Franklin refineries. For some years it has lain idle, its machinery being some- what old fashioned and its capacity limited as compared with the other big plants here. Recently a number of in- terior changes have been made in it, and already two consignments of coffee have been delivered at the establish- ment for experimental purposes. It is not likely, however, that active operations will be started for sometime to come, as all the machinery needed has not been delivered yet. Much of it is to be imported from Germany. When the plant is completed, it will give em-, ployment to a large number of skilled workmen. The shipments of coffee will be made direct toPhiladelphia and will increase the imports here in an entirely new line. roRT GHAKDARA RRLIRVBD. The Loss. of the Tribesmen Was Heavy. Tilak Committed For Trial. Bombay, Aug..3.-—Fort Chakdara, in the Chitral district, which was be- sieged by' a large force of ins-urgent na- tives, has been relieved by the British force, under General Blood. The fight- ing was severe, and the tribesmen lost heavily. The loss of the British was light. Gangadhar Tilak, the native member of the legislative council who was ar- rested on the evening of July 27 charg- ed with inciting the natiNes of Bombay to disaffection, was again brought up in the police court here today and formally committed for trial. When first arraigned on July 28, he offered to furnish bail for his appearance at any future proceedings, but the magistrate refused to admit him to bail. Tomor- row Tilak will make an application to the high court judges for an order re- quiring the authorities to release him on bail pending his trial. Tilak, as ca- bled at the time of his arrest, has for a long time been agitating against Brit- ish rule in India, and recently has been more than usually virulent. Eshoo Madow -Bal, a partner .of Tilak in the publication of Kesari, a native news- paper, was also arrested on July 27. _______.__._——4 TREAOHBROUS PAPUANS. Many Australian Gold Hunters Massacred In New Guinea. Vancouver, B. 0., ‘Aug. 3.—The.steam- er Miowera, from Sydney, brings infor— mationrof a massacre by Papuans. Not long ago great numbers of Australians were ,attracted by stories of fabulous gold discoveries in the interior of Papua, or New Guinea. Their ranks were thinned after they reached the island by mur- der, starvation and fatal swamp fevers. To make matters worse every native who helped a whi‘te'man was marked for the tomahawk. The remnant of the whites went to Vanapa for a final ef- fort to make their fortunes and return. Their stores gave out and for months they lived on “damper" and tea. 'Na- tives in the vicinity claimed to be ill treated by the government and decided to teach the government a lesson by killing all the whites within reach. A raid was made at night and the whites put to death with tomahawks. Massa- cres have occurred in the same place before, but the government has never attempted tO punish 'the murderers. ~. The masses-re occurred 85 miles from Port Moresby. The entire settlement perished. The government has now sent military police to surround the natives and shoot them if necessary.
