Miners Strike

BALTIMORE, April 19.-The Cumberland
Civilian says: The strike among the coal
miners still continues. The companies first
proposed reducing the price of mining from
10 cents TO so cents per ton. The miners
refused to accept of the price. Sixty cents
was then offered, which was also refused.
1t was rumored a few days since that COM
promise had been effected and that work
would go on at 65 cents. The result of this
state of affairs is an entire stagnatiOn of the
coal trade. Hundreds of boats are lying
idle at the wharves and boatmen are getting
discouraged and seeking other pursuits.

The blame of the whole affair is divided
between the municipal and military au-
thorities for allowing the negroes to carry
fire arms and other deadly weapons with
them in the procession. Major Stanho pc,
commanding the company of the 18th o. s.
Infantry, appeared upon the scene in the
height Of the melee, and succeeded with the
aid of his forces in subduing the excited
passions of the negroes. During last night
fears were entertained of another distur-
bance, and telegraph was sent to General
Miles for additional troops, but they were
not needed, as the events of the night
proved, and everything passed in quiet
ness.
Considerable uneasiness was felt in Nor
folk to-day by many of the citizens over
the events Of yesterday, and a general
outbreak was deemed not impossible. In
the meantime, as 8 precautionary measure,
General Miles sent over to this city this
afternoon g detachment of the 5th U. S.
Artillery and 18th U. S. Infantry to meet
any events that may possibly transpire. %
