that he gave was the close Of the social
season, so far as the White House Is con

number Of people unhappy by the fact that
he gave no refreshments to his invited
guests, and then selected some thirty.odd

WARRINGTON, May ll,-A proposition is
pending in Congress TO abolish all the navy
yards on the Atlantic coast, with perhaps
one or two exceptions, and adopt the policy
favored by the British admiralty, which
has only three nayy-yards for the entire
British navy, and has most OF its work done
ut private yards under contract, In pur'
suance Of this policy bill has been
introduced, and has met with the favor
OF the House naval affairs committee, pro-
viding iOF the removal OF the Boston navy.

very likely that the change would be made

1t is no secret that men are billeted on
the navy yards, and draw regular salaries,
whose names do not appear on the rolls,
and who never render any service whatever,
and are paid from the treasury by false

THE PANnAN0LE COAL STRIKE,
CulOred Miners Imported Prem OhIO
Pathetic Appeal Of the White AineFS.

PIrTsBURGH, Pa, May II, = Colored
miners have beeen brought from Ohio, by
W, r Robbins, at the Midway mines, on
the Panhandle railroad, to break the strike
which has put a stop to work in that Te'
giop for the past few weeks, These colored
men are the same ones that were used sue,
CeSstully once before to break strike In
Ohio, and for whose protection tho militia
were called out.
The striking miners have issued an ad,
dress, in which they say; We could not see
why the operators OF tweRty-one mines
SHOULD insist on q reduction, while the
operators OF all the other III mines are
satisfied with l.cent standard, and, there
fore, unanimously resolved 10 resist this
sectional attempt 10 reduce our wages II
the miners Of the twenty.one pits, now
bRvely resisting the reduction, can by any
means be forced TO submit, it will disturb
and confuse the industry all over tine dis.
trict; may cause general lockout and lead
to a reduction Of wages all over the region,
to the direct injury Of $4,000 miners and
their families.
No sensible, honorable man will come
here TO try to force l,S00 OF his fellow work.
men TO succumb to this sectional, unwar.
ranted and unpopular attempt To reduce
our wages. The man that would do so
strikes a deadly blow at the principle Of
unity aad union, 10 which this country
owes its independence and its entirety.
This principle Of union, for which the
miners OF this district are today struggling,
is the same identical principle for which
the Union armies in theCiyil war victorious
y struggled and forever set free 100000
slaves.
To set the colored race at the throats OF
workmen is becomingthe common last re-
sort OF illiberal employers. We object to
thus prostltuting the results 1.-THE war, and
to thus making unworthy tools out oi the
colored people-all for the purpose Of more
gain. Had they been fully and frankly in
formed, they would never have come here.
They have been trihed with. Among the
locked.out miners are many who, 20 years
ago. fought hard for the liberation OF these
men, and surely now they would not
knowingly come here to try to break the
ranks OF the very men who helped to free
them.
II few employers succeed in forcing
their present employees to accept this un.
Just and unnecessary reduction, every vet
eran workingman among all the trades

not OF the entire country, will regret that

wAsmSoToS, May ll.-Some rather sen.
sational testimony has been heard by the
grand jury here, during the past two or
three days,in regard to the plate upon which
the counterfeit one thousand dollar silver
certificates have been printed. These coun.
terieits are in every way as well executed
as the genuine, and cannot be detected eX-
cept By most thoroughly skilled experts.
Two Chicago detectives have testified that
they have positive evidence that the plate
is IN eleCtrotype transfer from gen
uine plate in the Treasury department.
They have the counterfeit plate in their
possession and charge that genuine plate
from which it was made was kindly lent
by some Of the officials Of the Treasury de
partment for the purpose oil having d copy
Of it made. They say that there were SOC
certificates printed and that the SjO0,0OO
are now in circulation. This Is not the
first time In which similar charges have
been made, bnt there arc great doubts that
there Is any truth in the charge. There il
no doubt, however, that they have plate
and that Il is o good one.
