LABOR TROUBLES.
Ohio Coal Mines Protected by Pink
erton Guards.
Great Excitement Over the Arrival
OF Italian Laborers-Resentmen
at the Presence of the Pink
ertOn Forces.

JACKSONVILLE, Ohio, July.-The mins
operators threatened for several weeks to
import Italians to take the places of ex
perieneed miners. They have at last carried
out their threat. A train bearing thirty
three PinkeTton guards and forty Italians
pulled in here Monday The men went
Immediately to W. B. Brooks & Sons mine,
section 49, Besides the guards. who arrived
on the special train, eighteen others, who
had been here several days, were also placed
on duty. Here a tent was pitched, and
sentinels posted, and operations begun. The
Pinkerton men, armed with sixteen shot
repeating rifles and English bulldog re-
volvers, 42-calbre, are prepared for any
emergency; military discipline is rigidly
observed. No person is allowed inside the
picket lines without pass
At Snake Hollow the excitement is at
fever heat, and groups of miners can be seen
in every direction, discussing the situation,
although no threats of violence have been
made
The importation of foreign laborers is dep
recated by majority of the citizens
who think it merely an experiment calcu-
lated to force the miners to accept the reduc
ton. 1t is reported here that the miners
had disarmed the Pinkerton men at New
Straitsville, but it lacks confirmation.
At Buckley, Ohio, a few miles from here
! the town is under control of uniformed and
heavily armed force of Pinkerton's men,
guarding the property of the Columbus &
Hooking Coal and Iron company The citi
Zens, principally miners, naturally indig
| nant, applied to the sheriff of the
county for an order restraining the
guards from patrolling the village. The
action of the operators in this particular is
censured as it is calculated to cause trouble
The mayor has sworn in number of extra
police, and the city is well guarded. How
| long this situation of affairs will continue
cannot be said, but shouldsthe guards fire OF
the miners bloodshed may be expected The
miners made no trouble, but are not willing
to accept further insults. They are receiving
| aid from miners of this state and Pennsyl
vania, and are prepared to hold out.
| The operators boast that they will have
5000 more foreigners at the mines within 6
short time. They say that if they cannot
| collect sufficient force in New York Chi
| cago and other large cities, they Will senC
| to Italy and Hungary for the needed supply
| Of help The miners have taken legal ad
| vice, with the hope of having the guard
disarned They declare that it is outrage
ous that armed bodies from other states
meaning the Pinkerton forces-should be per
| mitted to patrol the streets and intimidatt
law-abiding citizens. They have telegrapheC
Governor Hoadly, urging him to order ou
| the state troops to protect the people fpon
these dangerous hirelings The governor ha
replied that he cannot order out the militia
until asked to do SO by county sheriffs, o

an Engiishmanss Visit.

New YORK, July l6.-Howard Vincent,
late chief OF the London detective police, has
arrived in this country, and in an interview
disclaimed any purpose to investigate the
dynamite mystery, saying that he was over
here partly on pleasure trip When ODon-
ovan Rosa was asked what he thought about
it, he said:
"Of course he comes here on English bust
ness. If he can best accomplish that mission
by bringing his estimable wife on his, arm
and assuming the air OF a tourist in search of
recreation and Information, that's his affair
Does he think by so doing he will
throw lrelands defenders off the track
Then he Is much mistaken. He is here on
business, and serious business too His office
was blown up awhile ago and he was blown
up for it by his superiors. He has got to do
something toretrieve his apparent negligence,
MIR. Vincent comes on secret mission. He
wants 10 have the extradition treaty between
England and America 50 revised that England
can take from this country any man she
wants merely by asking for him What his
views are III reference to Ireland amount to
nothing. They are merely echoes of the
views OF every other loyal Englishman, and
are about as valuable. lrishmen know Eng
land as well as she is known by Englishmen
They know that the easiest way for Ireland
to bring England to terms is to vigorously
carry on the dynamite warfare the iucifer-
match warfare, the kerosene-oil warfare and
every kind of warfare that will set England
in blue blazes'

New YORK, July 16-The disinfectior
corps has gone to work among the denseiy
inhabited tenement houses in the lower part
of the city. Four men accompanied eact

the disinfecting fluid wherever it was needed
The work for the present is confined to thu

corps will serve to keep away cholera or any
other epidemic. This sudden effort to clear

A STARTLING rumor has just lifted the
Cuban question into pressing Importance.
This rumor is to the effect that Spain is
negotiating with Germany to assume the
care of Cuba for a term of twenty-five
years. Such trusteeship would include
the management of Cuban affairs by Ger
man officials, German garrisons tor its
forts, German navy in Cuban waters,
and the establishment of branch of the
German Empire within half days sail of
the coast of the United States. The report
gains the more credence from the fact
that it is consistent with the recently
adopted policy of the German Government
to establish colonial system as a recepta-
Gle for its overlooking population.

tainly get considerable number of Irish
votes for Blaine. But the influence of the
city administration will prevent anything
like an Irish landslide in our favor, except,
perhaps, in the stock yards district, where
official influences are not of much account,
and where the Irishmen are, as rule, very
independent
An Irish politician from the Bridgeport dis
triet admitted thar just at present there was
loud talk against the ticket among the
"weareIs of the green" THE fact is" he
said "the boys have nothing against
Mr.. Cleveland, but they have got the
idea into their heads that Mr.. Blaine will do
such wonderful things for the Irish race and
it is hard to talk them out of it. But we have
four months to talk the matter over, and
when election comes around the Irish will
vote the straight Democratic ticket"
Another Bridgeport politician said all the
talk would be silenced before election day,
however, and an Irishman voting any but
the Democratic ticket would be looked upon
traitor
In conversation with a number of Irishmen
who claim no political infiuence-talk for
themselves only, and seem to be guided by
what they read in their newspapers-ther re-
porter gathered the following to be about the
present feeling among the Irish Democrats
They sympathize strongly with Kelly, Grady,
Cochran, and the other Tammany chiefs who
opposed Cleveland in the Democratic conven.
ton, and consider the defeat of Tammany in
the light of snub for the Irish element The
objections made to Cleveland by Tammany
they believe, should have prevented Cleve
lands nomination. Besides, the Irish ele
ment is strongly filled with anti-monopoly
sentiment, and the charge that Cleveland
while governor of New York, vetoed bills di
rected against heavy corporations, has there
fore great deal more weight with the aver
age Irishman than it was given in the Demo
cratic convention.

THE Blaine organs are endeavoring to
misconstrue the democratic platform, and
to puzzle the voters. Some say it is a
''straddle," others declare it is for pro
lection" and still others that it is free
trade" The democratic party is honest in
its convictions, and desires u reduction of
taxes which make 500, 100000 annual
SURPRISES and which burden industry and
the economy of the people. For down
right duplicity the republican platform is
a success. 1t gives its old time promises
that it has never fulfilled, and now asks
sensible men to believe their words The
people have determined on a change,
however, and they generally get what
they want.

CHICAGO, July 16.-The Times has had
reporter out investigating the feeling of the
Irishmen in this city relative to the recent
nominations for president. 1t says:
THE reporters investigations were confined
to people who were found in the downtown
streets and resorts, but he conversed with
men in all stations of life, and was careful to
talk only with people about whose utilization
with the Democratic party he had no doubt"
An officeholder in the city government said
that there was no doubt of the fact that many
of the Irish were dissatisfied with Cleyeland's
nomination and that it would take hard work
to convince them that they should vote for
him. "My only hope is that the old habit of
voting our ticket will assist us in our efforts
to prove to them that Mr. Blaine will disap-
point them, and that their prejudice against
Mr.. Cleveland is entirely without basis or
justification. 1t very hard work indeed to
hold large mass of the Irish voters to the
Democratic ticket
