Mining Matters.
ST. LOUIS, April 30.-The unsettled
condition of affairs at and near Belle
vile, Illinois, and throughout the coal
mining districts still continues between
the miners and mine operators. 1t seems
likely to lead TO serious disturbances.
For some time past the coal diggers
have been receiving four cents per bushel
for mining, have worked but eight hours
per day, and have restricted the output
to fifty bushels per day per man. Other
restrictions have also been adopted and
enforced until the operators say that the
Miners Union practically controls theiI
business.
They have become tired of this and
assert their intention of breaking it up
| The miners have assumed u threatening
attitude and an out break is apprebended
Gov. Cullom, of Illinois, has been ad
vised of the situation, and to-day sent
| sheriff Weber and the st. Clair Co. of
| f1cials instructions to use every means in
their power to protect property and tine
| preservation of peace; also, take every
| precaution possible to prevent any dem
onstration likely TO lead to violence.

in 1876, the greater part if not the Who'll
of the Republican vote may be cOnceI
