: STRIKERSlllllOLESTED Campers Were Permitted to March About In Small Groups. NO MORE ARRESTS JUST NOW Fifty Men Quartered In a Barn to-Be Enabled to Do Missionary Work Promptly —- Important Confer- ence—Railroad Camp Raider]. Pittsburg, Aug. 24.—-The striking miners encampeo about the De Armitt mines today experienced less interfer- ence from the deputies than at any time since the decision of the court in the injunction proceedings. The camp- ers were permitted to march about in small groups, but were not allowed to get within speaking distance of the working miners. There was no evidence that the deputies intended to carry out the rumor which was spread yesterday that an effort would be made to break up the camp. In fact Deputy Samuel Young, who is in charge at Plum Creek, said today to Captain Uriah Bellingham that there would be no more arrests made until a decision was had in the cases of the five men arrested Saturday. Captain Bellingham has rented a'barn at Center and will have fifty men quar- tered there all the time so that they may be able to get into the town the first thing each day. All the men in the camp will be sent out on scouting and missionary work. It is the intention to visit the house of each ‘miner. Captain Bellingham has strong hopes that this scheme will greatly increase the ranks of the strik- ers. About twenty-five strikers suc- ceeded! in eluding the deputies during the night and visited the working miners at their homes. They returned .today and claim to have been quite suc— cessful in securing converts. A number of converts declared they would quit tomorrow, but would have to work to- day, as it was pay day. Railroad Camp Raided. Samuel C. De .Armitt, when seen be- fore the opening of the mine, said that he thought he would have an increase in his force. He anticipated that there would be at least 150 men in the mines. Early today a raid was made on the camp of negro railroad laborers at Unity. Constable Carson and four as- sistants, heavily armed, went to the camp, and after destroying the gam- bling tables demolished the unlicensed liquor saloons and set fire to the ruins. The negroes offered no resistance. The constable’s actions Were heartily commended by the striking miners, who ' stood about thé camp in readiness to aid in the preservation of peace should the colored laborers show a disposition to defy the authorities. The conference between the miners’ officials and the executive committee of the coal operators met today. The miners were represented by National President Ratchford, District President Dolan and Secretary Warner. The op- erators’ committee was composed of J. C. Dysart, G. W. Schluedeberg, J. N. O‘Neil, J. B. Zerbe, F. M. Osborne, D. A. Andrews, W. P. Bonney and W. P. Rend. Batchford’s Statement. _ President Ratchford, in an interview, said he wanted it distinctly understood that he had never been asked by the operators to confer with them. “The statement,” said he, “that I had re- fused a conference is not correct. I am here now at the request of Mr. Dolan. We will agree to the operators’ propo- sition if they will pay 69 cents. That‘is the lowest rate the miners will accept. It must be 69 cents, or the strike will be continued until the demands are grant- ed. If the Pittsburg 'operators settle upon our terms, a general conference will not be necessary.” Previous 20 the conference a large number of operators congregated in the corridors of the Monongahela house. There was much dissenstion among them. Many were opposed to breaking the strike by importing men, and quite a number favored the acceptance of the miners’ terms. It was claimed that it was not the Pittsburg operators who wanted to compromise or break the strike, but that it was the large mine owners and lake shippers. The confer- ence ended at noon, after an agreement had been made for a later general con- ference of operators and the miners’ officialsh The miners’ officials insisted on all t e operators being present, and it was decided to make the conference an open one. The operators who had been kept on the outside were jubilant when this de- cision was arrived at, and said they would attend. Some said they would favor the granting of the 69 cent rate at the opening of the conference if it was seen that the miners’ officials would not consent to a compromise to let out the operators who have contracts based on a 54 cent mining rate. ; No Strike at lshpeming. Ishpeming, Mich.,Aug. 24.—-There will be no strike of Ishpeming miners. Speeches by Wasley and Mudge, labor leaders, to the men did not have the desired effect, and all the mines are still working. The attempt to force nonunion men out of the mines proved a failure. The companies will discrimi- nate against union men if the latter in- terfere with those who do not belongto the union. There is no ill feeling, and there will be no strike. There is no trouble at Negaunes. The G. A. R. Encampment. Buffalo, Aug. 24.—Grand army en- campment week opened , with fair weather today. All indications point to a colossal encampment, beyond the ex- pectations of the most sanguine citi- zens. Forerunners of numerous posts have hurried here seeking additional quarters. Train loads of veterans and their friends are constantly arriving. Another “Discovery” In Havana. Havana, Aug. 24.-The police have discovered a printing outfit Which has been used to print proclamations issued by the insurgent leaders.

Havana, Aug. 24.-——A special dispatch from Madrid says there is no doubt the Spanish government will be willing to extend the commercial treaty with the United States. THE PLURRY IN WHEAT. Further Advances In the Cereal Report- ed—~No Reduction of France’s Duty. Chicago, Aug. 21,—The first curb quo- tation for September wheat today was 102%, an advance of 3 cents over Satur- day’s closing price. . December wheat sold between 1011,; and 1001/2,- while 35% was bid for Decem- ber corn. Liverpool’s opening wheat ad- vance was equal to 5@51/§ per bushel. Saturday’s advance here was 7 cents per bushel. The Liverpool advance in corn, equal to 2 2-5@3 1-3 cents per bushel, was considerably over the local advance, however. A noteworthy fact was that of the world’s wheat ship- ments last week, 7,210,000 bushels, about five-sevenths, 5,218,000 bushels, was con- tributed by America. The usual crop reports were almost uniformly bad. Es- pecially was this true of corn. Weather reports showed slightly higher tempera- tures west. The 1:30 p. m. Liverpool cables showed a recession of one penny in some wheat features, and on this the curb. price for September wheat here dropped to 100%. No Reduction In the French Duty Likely. London, Aug. 24.—A dispatch to The ,Pall Mall Gazette from Paris, printed this afternoon, says: “There will be no reduction in the tax on imported wheat and flour. The reply of the government to the representations on the subject says that the temporary scarcity of wheat in the French market is owing to the bad harvest and that so soon as the American and Australian wheats arrive at French ports the situation will right itself.” Continuing, the correspondent says: “The government, especially now that the elections are drawing near, is mor- tally afraid of offending the small peas- ant, who usually grows wheat. On the other hand, the working classes, who constitute the mass of the population in the large towns, still live largely on bread.” ‘ Paris, Aug. 24.———Flour rose 50 cen- times a sack at Marseilles on Saturday. and a further rise is expected, though the impending arrivals from New York and Buenos Ayres are expected ulti- mately to check the rise. The agitation for the abolition of the duties on grain is spreading rapidly, and at Tarbes, Rodez and Cette there is much excite- ment on the subject. The Figaro expresses the belief that the rise will not last long, as no scarcity is feared, adding that the socialists will not succeed in their alarmist campaign, which they are alleged to have sprung for a political purpose. The Justice declares the price of bread has no relation to the present price of wheat. Better Outlook In the Argentine.‘ BuenosAyres, Aug. 24,—It is officially announced that a very large crop of grain is anticipated for the coming sea- son in the Argentine Republic, the grain under cultivation covering larger areas than ever before. The Wool clip, it is further stated, will be heavy. MANY Loans HUMMING. Large Cotton Mills \Vhich Have Been Shut. Down Begin “’ork Again. Boston, Aug. 2L—Dispatches from different New England manufacturing centers today announce that many cot- ton mills which have been idle resumed operations today. During a part of July and August thousands of spindles were not operated in this section owing to unsatisfactory conditions which prevail- ed either in the finished goods or new cotton market, or to the need of re— pairs. In addition to this, several other mills closed for two weeks in accord- ance with their annual midsummer cus- tom. Many of the Fall River mills resumed Operations last week, and several start— ed their machinery today. The curtail— ments, it is claimed, together with im- proved business conditions, have helped the cotton gecds market wonderfully. and it is now believed that in the future no such quantily of [unsold goods will accumulate as during the past year. Several of the Lowell mills resumed in whole or in part today and reports from that city indicate that the out- look is promising. The mills of the Annoskeag corpora- "ticn of Manchester, which employs nearly 10.000 people, will start Sept. 6, after a shut down of a month, and the Amory mills, in the same city, resumed today. , The shut downs caused a considerable loss to Manchester business men, but was of shorter duration than was ex- pected. Several small mills which were idle in various other places also resumed work today. D. Cady Herrick a Candidate. Albany, Aug. 24.—Supreme Court Jus- tice D. Cady Herrick of this city is an open candidate for the Democratic nomination for chief justice of the court of appeals. He gave out a statement today saying he was not a candidate in the accepted sense of the word, but that his name would be presented to the Democratic state committee when that body meets in September to select a candidate. The Brooklyn Postmaster-ship. Plattsburg, N. Y., Aug. 24.4The pres— ident today declined to give any defi- nite statement concerning the appoint- ment of a postmaster for Brooklyn and would neither affirm nor deny the rumor that he had Offered it to Representative F.
