ANOTHER BIG STRIKE

Inaugurated Among the Coal Miners OF
Western Pennsylvania-The Outcome
Difficult to Determine.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 10.-The most
extensive movement ever attempted by
the miners of Western Pennsylvania was
partially begun yesterday, and if the die
tates of the recent conventions arc obeyed
by the workmen, not less than 10000
miners will soon be on general strike.
Late last evening the news from the
miners was that the majority of them
were out, and that by ten days all, or
most of them will have joined hands in
their fight for three cents bushel.
The officers of the Miners Association
have been working diligently and success
fully in getting out many of the reluctant
miners. Along the Baltimore 6 Ohio
Railroad and the Youghiogheny River the
men are all out. In the first pool but two
mines are running, and in the fourth pool,
which has always been considered the
miners weakest point, the miners went
out TO a man, with the exception of two
small pits of but little consequence. In
the second and third pools only three
mines are reported running. RiSher'S
mine, in the former, has given in and
agreed to pay three cents for coal shipped
by rail.
President Costello was in the fourth
pool all day, and together with the COM
mittee from other pools was concentrat-
ing all his power of persuasion TO bring
every man out.
A mass-meeting will be held to-day,
which will be addressed by Costello and
Others. President Costello is confident
that the strike will be a success, aud that
the operators will pay the price demand
ed within the next ten days.
The operators are. regarding the strike
with indifference, and say they will not
pay the price demanded. They say the
strike will be especially hard with the
miners, as at present one-half of them
are nearly starving and the rest but little
better off. The prospects are that another
long and bitter strike has begun.

OLD HICKoRYs PORTRAIT.
How He Looked While at the Hermitage a
Month Before His Death.


In the Corcoran Gallery there is
collection of the portraits of all the ex-
Presidents up to Andrew Johnsons
time. 1t was made by Healy. The
most interesting is that of Andrew
jackson. Healy visited the Hermitage
about month before Jackson died,
and with great difficulty persuaded
him to give him sitting. The old
gentleman was determined that he
would not He had great prejudice
against having his portrait painted.
Healy finally succeeded in getting an
interview with him, and, of course, af-
ter that succeeded, for Healy is diplo-
matist who knows how to ilatter and
make his way with noted people. His
picture of Jackson makes the old gen
tleman look h deously ugly and saw
age. The pallor of death is on his
face. Healy made no attempt to flat

him. The result is all the more inter-

Mr.. Whitney Is the son of the late General
James 5. Whitney, formerly politician of
note in Massachusetts, lie was born mt Con-
way, Mass, in 1910, graduated at Yale Col
lege in 1858, at the Harvard Law School in
1864, and then went to New York, where he
was admitted to the bar Whitney devoted
himself without delay to getting into poll
tics, and thereby became the Corporation
Counsel-an appointive oftice-on the down
fall of the Tweed ring. In business he was
successful, and he made considerable
start toward fortune when he gained so
much more of 1t at the altar, by his mar
riage to a daughter of senator Payne, of
Ohio, that his own accumulation at the
bar was insignificant by contrast He was,
In n sense, during his early political career
a protege of Samuel j. Tilden, for whom he
labored hard in 1876, and into whose Cabi-
ret he would unquestionably have gone had
the Sage of Greystone been elected His
prosperity in business sense has been so
good from the outset of his career that he
has had no temptation to seek public office
for the sake OF money. In politics he is
wonderfully clever ut organizing and pro-
noting measures for definite objects. This
quality was shown potently in the Chicago
Convention which laboriouslY nominated
Cleveland. Whitney was doubtless as in
tiuential as Dan Manning in bringing the
Cleveland venture to n successful issue.
1t was he who nullified the Hendricks
boom, and he who beat Villas with Hendricks
for the second place on the ticket.
