THE STRIKING MINERS.
ST.. LOUIS, June S.-Information is re-
ceived from Collinsville, Ills, that the
striking miners who we're expected to ar
rive there some time last night or early
this morning have not yet turned up, and
all is quiet there. Inquiry at Belle
vile, Pinckneyville and other places in the
mining district fails to reveal the presence
of strikers, and there is no information at
any of these points of any band or any
body of men moving about the country.
1t begins to look as though the reports of
last night were very much exaggerated,
or that the strikers, moving out of Belle
vile, broke up and went quietly to their
homes.
