TEMPE: FOR JUDGE. q-b—-.-—-——- ONLY CQN Labor Leader Declare; That Constitutional Rights ‘an0 been; Violated —Al- legcd Compulsion of Workers 1 In Do Armitt Mines. Pittsburg, Aug. 7.—Eugene V. Debs, who addressed the large miners’ 'meet- ing on the Duquesne wharf last night, left,today, for Turtle Creek, where he Willy'speal‘f. Before leaving the city he den‘olgi‘cgéd' Judge Jackson of West Vir- ginialfiqr issuing the injunction restrain- ing him from interfering in any way with the Mon‘ongah company or its em- ployees. He said: ' “This injunction restrains me from walking on any of the public highways leading to the mines of the Monongah Coal and Coke company. This injunc- tion annihilates the right of peaceable assemblage and effectually suppresses free speech. If it is sustained, and I haveno doubt it:wiil be, it SWeeps away all cbnstitutional safeguards and deliv- ers us, bound hand and foot, to corpo- rate capital. I hold the injunction and the judge who issued it in supreme con- tempt. If I have occasion to raise my voice in behalf of the tarnishing miners in Jackson’s jurisdiction, I propose to do so, or, at least, make the attempt, totally regardless of'this infamous in— junction. The farce of the proceeding is that the injunction is issued by a iudge. It ought to come direct from the coal operators, and at least hyprocrisy would not intensify the infamy of the proceeding.” In reference to the charge that the deputies now on guard at De Armitt’s mines were forcing the miners to work at the point of revolvers President DO- lan stated that the matter had been placed in the hands of-their attorney, and it was probable that the miners’ j to court and ask for an injunction rest-training these depu- ties; $53.5, he: '. "They have no right to compel any man to go to work, and we will not it. I have in my pocket the names of many of the men who_were treated in this manner, but prefer not to give them now for fear the men will suffer.” Women Doing Missionary Work. The coal company discovered a new sort of missionary work among its em- ployees today. Wives of many of the campers are in the field now. They havebeen arriving for several days, until now there are about 20 of them scattered about through the Plum, Sandy and Turtle Creek settlements. The women are from the McDonald, Carnegie and Wheeling divisions sec- tions, and while the ‘men are at work the strikers’ women do missionary work among the wives. They have ac- cess to the workmen’s houses, but the men are denied this. Deputies are sta-‘ tioned all along the property line with instructions not to allow a man to pass into the house range. The campers claim that the effect of the female mis- sionary work will be apparent in a day or so. Many of the Plum Creek men are expected to join the movement after pay day on Monday. The strikers say they would be out now, but they want to get as much money as possible ahead, so as 'to have something to fall back on. Whether or not the strikers will be able to get the Plum Creek men to stop the mine is becoming a more serious question than the strike leaders at first thought. Unlike the other digging set- tlements, about all of the Plum Creek men live in company houses right about the pits and right on the com7 pany’s land. The workmen do not have to leave the De Armitt property to get into the mines, and the strikers get no chance to stop them on the road. The deputies do not allow any one to get. 1‘ near the houses, and the workers and strikers are entirely without communi- cation except by the women. It now seems that the Plum Creek siege will be much longer and*a much harder battle than at any of the other mines. Coal Prices Go Hp. Prices for coal have moved up 16 cents a ton since yesterday, the as— signed reason being that the prospects are that the area of the strike will ex» pand and embrace the northern and central Pennsylvania districts. Coal is being hoarded for possible future de- mands, when prices will be still higher. Ruling prices are $1.10 for run of the mine in barges and cars, Pittsburg, and 5 and 6 cents a bushel for slack in the river. Eviction of strikers from company houses was begun by the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company. A house to house canvass is being made, and when a miner announces to the com- pany’s official that he is on strike, the notice to quit the premises in five days is served. This move of the company is creat' g considerable appreh‘ension among e men. A promised surprise materialized had been secured to operate the Oak Hill mine. Superintendent T. B. De Ar- mitt wbuld not say where the men came from nor how he proposed to get them into the pit without conflict, but de- clared that the companywas determined . A Sympathetic Strike. Marietta, 0.,' Aug. 7.—Two hundred miners along the line of the Zanesville and Ohio River railroad, between this city and Zanesvllle, have quit work out of sympathy for the striking miners. They were receiving the scale of prices. All but the Stone and Winefordners miners went out on Wednesday orn- ing.’ The supply of coal for the anes- ville and Ohio River railroad is now cut off, with but little on hand. Royal Residence In Ireland. ‘ Cork, Aug. 7,—The Cork Constitution is authority for the statement that the Muckross esate, near the lakes of Kil- larney, has been chosen as a site for a royal residence in Ireland, and that a substantial price has been offered for its purchase. One Day's Government Receipts. Washington, Aug. The—National bank notes received today for redemption, $341,857; government receipts from in- ternal revmue, $506,235? customs, $186,- SPEECH ill-Midi. The Address of Queen Victoria Pro- roguing Parliament. A REVIEW OF’THE SESSION.- Prospects For Peace Between Greece and Turkey—References to Indian Fam- ine. Jubilee Ceremonies and Denounced Treaties. London, Aug. 7.——The house of com- mons met today and passed the third reading of the appropriation’bill, which was then forwarded to the house of lords, where it passed all stages. Both houses then suspended business until 2:30 p. m., when the queen’s speech pro- roguing parliament was read. It was as follows: ‘ - “My Lords and Gentlemen—At the close of the session, during which there have been disturbance and conflict in Europe, I am glad to be able to inform you that the cordiality of my relations with foreign powers remains unchang- ed. , “The united influenze of the six pow- ers signatories of the treaty of Paris was earnestly exerted early in the year to dissuade the king of Greece from a war upon which he unhappily desired to enter. Though they failed in this endeavor they were able to bring about an early suspension of hostilities be- tween the two belligerents and open negotiations for peace. “These proceedings are protracted, and a formal treaty has not yet been signed, but there is good ground for be- lieving that all the most important matters in the controversy have been adjusted and that in return for an adequate indemnity the territory con- quered by Turkey. with a slight modi- fication of the frontier, will be restored to Greece. “I have given notice to the king of the Belgians and the German emperor to terminate the treaties of 1862 and 1865, whereby I am prevented from making with my colonies such fiscal ar- rangements within my empire as seem to me expedient. New Chinese Convention. "In consequence of the infraction by the Chinese government of certain stip- ulations of the convention of 1894 a fresh convention has been concluded, establishing the frontier of Burma and China more advantageously to my em- pire ,and opening the West river of China to European commerce. “1 have. concluded a treaty of com- merce and friendship with King Mene- lek. “The presence of representatives of the colonies and India at the ceremonies of the celebration of the sixtieth year of my reign has contributed to the strength of the bond of union in all parts of my empire, and additional proof of the attachment of the colonies to the mother country has been furnished by the fiscal legislation of Canada and the contribution that Cape Colony, follow- ing the example of Australasia, has of- fered for our naval defense. ‘ “The famine which, to my profound grief, has prevailed in large portions of my Indian dominions since the autumn of last year has taxed severely the re— sources of that country. I gladly ac- knowledge the energy and self sacrifice of my officers Of all ranks, both Euro- peans and natives, and of the many private persons who, with untiring zeal and anxious desire to avoid offense to native feelings, have labored to save life and relieve suffering. “An appeal to the sympathy of my subjects, in all parts of the empire was responded to in the most generous man- ner. 52rd I rejoice to learn that owing to the satisfacim'y rainfall there is ev— ery prtsynrt that the area of distress will be very greatly diminished. l’lz'grie Nearly (lone. which caused a large has almost disap— ;d.

I an-, ticipate that the facilities you have giv— en for the practice of military maneu- vers will conduce to the greater effi- ciency of my army. "The assistance your legislation has given to the support of necessitous schools will secure adequate provision for education, in localities where it is most required, and will, I trust, close for some time a difficult and anxious controversy. . “The measure you have passed for the compensation of workmen injured by accidents in the course of their employ- ment will confer great benefits upon a. large section of the population. “I recognize with satisfaction the steps to facilitate the transfer of land, to protect the consumers of Water in the metropolis and to relieve the distress in the congested districts of Scotland. “I rejoice that you have been able to provide a more economical system for the judicial institutions of Ireland. “I pray that the fruit of your labors racy be assured by the protection and “The plague, ‘ber of deaths, i fir regular food and lodging given by the 'more than her keel.was visible. a very h‘essing of Almighty 'God." _, ~ , . . . THE KLONDIKE GRAZB. Another Line of Steamers Organized For the Alaskan Service. ' Tacoma, Aug. 6.—Dodwell, Carlisle &. CO. of Hongkong and a number of Ta; coma capitalists have organized a steamship company, with headquarters at Tacoma, to compete for the Alaskan trade. The new corporatién has char- tered the steamer City of Seattle, which will leave here On Aug. 15, with accom- modations for 500 passengerspand with a freight capacity of 600 tons. The com- pany will also put on two other steam- ers. “Othello’s Occupation Gone.” Indianapolis, Aug. 6.—The determina- tion of the leading life insurance com- panies to carry no risks on Klondike ex- plorers has fallen with dampening effect on the co-operative companies which were forming in this city and upon a number of men who are preparing to start for Alaska during the coming winter. One of these companies intend- ed sending ten representatives, each in- sured for $10,000, giving each man $1,000 besides money for contingent expenses, all of them to co—operate in the search for gold, dividing equally with. the company, and in case of death the in- surance money to be paid to the com- pany. By each death the company stood to win $8,500, on the basis that not more than $1,500 would be spent on each representative. Another company sim- ply designed to carry sufficient insur- ance to reimburse for actual outlay. It is not thought that any of these com- panies will proceed further with the or- ganization. HAWAII’S LABOR PROBLEM. The Coming Exclusion of Chinese Contract W'orkinen From Europe. San Francisco, Aug. 6,—The news that Hawaii had virtually excluded Chinese laborers, with the intention of bringing in negroes, is confirmed by Honolulu advices, brought by the steamer Aus- tralian. When the annexation propo- sition was made to the United States, one of the principal clauses was that Chinese immigration should cease. As a start in this direction, the Hawaiian government has ,decided- to issue no more six months’ residence permits to Chinese or to execute any bonds for contract laborers to arrive. The German ship H. F. Glade arrived in Honolulu on July 26 with nearly 200 contract laborers. They will supplant the Japanese on the sugar plantations. This crowd consisted of 115 laborers, 25 women and 47 children. The nationali- ties are mixed, there being many Poles and Austrians as Well as Germans. These laborers will be placed «on nine different plantations, the contracts showing that the men are to be paid $16 a month the first year, $17 the sec— ond and $18 the third, in addition to the plantations. Arrested For Embeznlement. Grand Rapids, Aug. 6.—Charles J." Thayer, treasurer, vice president and general manager of the Hamilton-Ken- wood Bicycle company, has been ar- rested on a capias for the alleged em- bezzlement of $4,000 of the company’s funds, the money being taken, it is claimed, just before the company gave mortgages of $100,000 to J. Frederick Baars as trustee. > Four Persons Snfl‘ocated. Cincinnati, Aug. 6.—Three men and one woman perished today from suffo- cation in a house at Elm and Charles streets which caught fire. There were ' 17 persons, men and women, in one room in the second story of the house. The fire was in adjoining rooms, and the only exit for escape was blocked by a bathtub set up on end at the head of a stairway. Suspicious I—‘ire on a. British Ship. Oakland, COL, Aug. 6.———The British ship Gumbel-mere, coal laden, was on fire here. The fire is believed to have been started by friends of Near, the East Indian who stabbed Captain Ber- nard.

Y., Aug. 6.-——The Lone Hill life. saving station reports that the large German ship Otto is ashore at Macox, on the Long Island coast, below the station.
