seadinx for . Cargo Of Coolies.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 9.-The steamer
Wellington, Of Dunsmeier, Diggle Il Co.,
had already cleared this port for the
mines, when an order was re-
ceived here to put her on berth for Hong
kong. Inquiry by . representative Of the
Press as to the cause OF this
maneuver elected the following
On Thursday, Aug. g. strike OF
800 miners in the Wellington mines is ex-
pected, who demand $40 30 per day, which
10 an increase OF 81 a day on the present
rate. The detection OF the strikers Will
compel the prsprietors of the mine to shut
down, throwing 1900 white men out Of
employment. In order to overcome the
difficulty as soon as possible the steamer
Wellington, which has already secured .
freight, will sail for China and return with
. cargo OF coolies for the mine. Her
return is looked for in about rs days. 1t
will no doubt be remembered that similar
trouble arose several years ago, which
closed the mine four months, the miners
finally being compelled to resume work
under former conditions. When 1T 10
known that IA, 000 tons Of coal are received
here from the Wellington mines monthly,
the effect on the coal market can well be
imagined.
