Indications That the Miners Strike
Has Failed.
PITTSBURGH, November %. From indica
tions to-day the strike of the coal miners
has proven a failure. 1t was expected
that when the strike was ordered all the
pits would be compelled to close down, but
of SO pits in this district only IA closed,
and reports from various parts of the DIS
trict to, day show that majority OF these
have resumed, although in some cases the
full force have not yet returned. The
miners are bravely standing out in some Of
the pits for what they regard as their just
dues. Cherry's and Jackson's mines, on
the Panhandle, are out, and a dispat ch
from President-elect Schaming this morn.
ing, states that Bower Hill came out to-
day. The statement regarding the F., V. 4
C.. pits is from the miners headquarters
also. This morning the AIS miners in the
two pits of the Birmingham Coal Compa-
ny's works, South Side, came out for four
cents, which demand, the firm say, will
not be granted. These works are at Eigh-
teenth and Twenty-first street, and chiefly
supply local demand. On the Charters

men on Tuesday President Jones told them
that inasmuch as they suffered five months
of idleness last summer, and that most OF
them had families to support, he would
not assume the responsibility OF advising
them to strike.

Approaching ReadIustment Of Wages
THE ORE MEN.
They Take no Stock i'm the steel stories.

Thew Take no STOCK I'm the steel Stories
PITTSBURGH, November 25.-The leading
iron ore brokers in this city agree in the
opinion that the present scare about shut
ting down the steel rail mills, is nothing
but trick TO restrain Others who are en-
lsrging their capacity or contemplating
new works. They think the mere fact
that the Scranton mill, with only two i've
ton converters, publicly announced prices
which have been quoted privately by all
the others, is scarcely sufficient to drive
them ali out Of the business.
They conclude that it is an
organized effort to effect better prices
next year. If they can get up any sort OF
pretense upon which 10 shut down their
mills the demand will be such by next
spring that they will be able to command
better prices. Another object is to bear
the ore market and make their contracts
for the year at low rates, after which they
will advance prices. These opinions are
freely expressed by ore men, and some
iron manufacturers agree with them. The
| latter expect to find them invading their
| fields with soft steel before long, but laugh
at the idea Of their being able TO make II
for five dollars per ton less than the cost OF
| puidled iron.

LAWRENCE, rs, November 2S.-One OF the

A BARON BRUISED.
French NobIeman Roughly Handled
Mt Toronto.

TORONTO, ONT, November S.-lt has just
leaked out that one night last week Baron
de Chadenedes, of France, who had been
studying agriculture in Canada for some
time, went 10 the Grand Opera House to see
Mile. Rhea, who Is friend of his. The
baron was accompanied by II. J. Scott, an
attorney of the city. Both gentlemen went
in at the stage door and passed to the west
wing. and sent messages to Rhea announc,
ing their presence. Before the actress had
time to make her appearance the manager
of the house, o. B. Sheppard, approached
the baron and demanded what he wanted.
The latter replied something to the effect,
lit was none Of his business" whereuPon
the manager undertook to forcibly eject
him. A lively scuffie followed. aud the
baron was getting the best OF it when the
manager called for the stage carpenters, me
chanics and scenic shifters. The whole
party turned on De Chadenedes and gave
him severe beating and black eye.
When Rhea was informed OF the matter mel
indisnation knew no bounds. She pranced
round the wings of the stage in towering
rage, which was only equaled by the pool
baron, who was groaning from his bruises
| in a lane outside.

CoHNELLsvILLEr Pa, November ga
railroad war in the near future Is not un-
likely to occur in the Connellsville coke

known, is building a railroad from Pitts
burgh to the coke region, his object being
to get liberal share OF the coke trade. Al
though in a measure shut out by the two
leading roads, he II determined to have
what he wants at whatever cost. IL was re-
ported last week that the H. c. Frick Coke
Company had leased their bit Of railroad.
extending from Brood Ford to Summit
mines, a short distance from Scottdale, to
Vanderbilt, but this is not true. Wander
bilt will, though. cross the river ut Broad
Ford and make connection with the Frick
road, which will give him all the coke
between that point aad Scottdale, because
the Frick people own all, or nearly all,
the works between those two points. Pre-
liminsry surveys have been made, and
Vanderbilt will soon have his railroad run
ming through every portion OF the coke
region, as there are plenty OF routes which
are practicable. and he will not be barred
out by the b. 4 D. and Pennsylvania
roads.

ST.. LOUIS, November 23-The men en-

dullness in the steel trade is so great as to
Justify a demand for a reduction of % per

scale of wages is made at the beginning oil

sent TO the reduction of 25 per cent. now,
thew will have 10 work on that reduced
scale during 1888. They are almost unani-

posed reduction. They have already ac-
cepted a reduction Of 25 per cent. The for
NAL proposition Of the reduction OF % per
can't has not been made yet.
