COAL MINERS GO OUT.
Organized Strike Involving 10000
Men in Federation No. 8.
@ood Order Prevailing, but Both
Sides Determined to Win.
Extensive Coal Miners, Strike.


PITTsBURG, Pa, March San extern
slVe strike of the coal miners of Federation
NO o. comprising the soft coal districts Of
the East was lnaugurated to-day for the
UNIFORM scale OF wages which was adopted
at the convention at Cumberland Feb 10.
The scale Is as follows: Irwin. 40 cents.
Cleariield so cents; Mayersdale and Gar
rett. 40 cents; POcahOntas, rs cents: Elk
Garden and Georges Creek, 50 cents The
strikers demand general advance of 10
cents per ton. In the district there are
TO- 900 miners. At IL O'clock this morning
dispatches received from the MARYLAND re-.
giOn reported that all the miners, number
ing nearly 5000 men, were out. Nothing
has been received as yet from the other
points. Secretary Davis or the Miners
Anal gamated association, says:
The men may not come out to a man at the
start, but the feeling is sufficiently strong to
cause the strike TO become general In q few
days. They are confident of success in the
end, and are encouraged by the statement
that many of the operators are willing to con-
cede the advance.
The present is regarded as being very
opportune time to ask for an advance, as
this is the month in which the coal COM
panies make most of their contracts.
CUMBERLAND MINERS GO OUT.
CUMBERLAND, Md, March SIN COM
pllance with the order of the executive
board OF the National Federation of Miners
and Mine Laborers in District No. 8, the
coal miners in this region struck to-day for
an advance of 10 cents per ton. The men
are all out except at Elk Garden, where
about twenty are at work. A delegate
meeting was held to-day at which every
mine in the region was represented. The
session was continued four hours. and it
was decided to make the strike general.
The men in the Clearfield mine will hold a
meeting tomorrow to decide whether or
not they will strike. The Cumberland
miners are very emphatic, but it is generally
admitted that the duration of the suspen-
sion depends very largely upon the decision
Of the Cleartield miners. District No. 3
includes the Cumberland. Nd, Irwin. Clear
field and Meyersdale, Pa; Elk Garden, W.
Va, and POcahontas, Va. regions and
about 4. 600 men are involved in the strike.
The strike inaugurated in Federation No.
grows hourly stronger and more deter
mined. The men feel their grievances
deeply and consider that they will never
have more OppOrtune time for redressing
them. Over 10, 900 will be affected by the
lockout.

Carpenters Catch the infection.

New YORK, March S.-About 4. 600 men,
bers of the United Order of American
Joners and Amalgamated Society of Car
penters and Joiners stopped work to-day.
The jouneymen complain of low wages
paid at the rate of 50 per day of ten hours,
the rate for frst-clasS wOrkmen being S. so,
which very few receive on the plea that
they are not lrst-claSs. The strikers now
demand that the average wages paid to
journeymen shall be S.. 80 per day of nine
hours each for tlve days and eight hours on
Saturday. Six hundred shops are affected
by this movement, and at noon eighty-six
bosses had agreed to the demands as pre-
scented. Men in these shops will at once
resume work. The men are confident of
carrying their points, as nearly all the
larger shops have given in. About 1900
men resume work to- day.

The opening of the new motor line to the
west side OF the river is an important event
III the city's history. 1t is virtually remov-
ing the river as dividing line and bringing
the two sections of the city together. 1t
removes all the Inconvenience which here
tofore existed from living on the west side
Of the river. The citizen of the West side
can now step into comfortable car and
reach the business part of the city in less
time than the one who lives on st. Anthony
hill can. AS to the mere convenience
of getting to tho business portions of the
city and returning home the citizen of the
West side has now the advantage of the
dweller on st. Anthony hill or Dayton's
bluff. He occupies less time in making
the trip and has more comfortable car to
ride in. The result will naturally be to
attract more attention to the West side as a
residence part of the city. But this is not
all that we hope will result from this meri-
torious improvement Of Mr.. STICKNEY's.
We expect to find it stimulating
cause toward providing better street

CANADIAN CENSUS n ETURNs.
Much Surprise nj the meager Show
ing i'm the Northwest.

Special 10 the Globe.
OTTAWA, Ont. March S.-The recent
census of the Canadian Northwest is the
source of great annoyance To the govern
ment. The census OF 1881 places the pop
ulation of the province Of Manitoba little
under So IL has not increased since
that date. but rather decreased. as the pop
ulation OF Winnipeg has gone down from
$4,000 to less than 20, 600, and the outlv
ing districts have certainly not added any
to their numbers. The official re-
turns of the number OF Inhabitants
IN all the districts outside OF Manitoba is
as follows: 23, 444 whites: 4. SIS half-breeds.
ana ~, 40 Indians, or total of As, 362.
This Is surprise To everyone and shows
that the population of the entire Canadian
Northwest, including the province of Man
itoba, and all the districts To the west and
northwest Is considerably less than 100. 600.
This immigration commenced as far back as
1870. but did not attract much attention
until 1879. Since the latter date It has been
the subject Of expensive legislation: i'm short
the Canadian government has paid out to
secure population i'm the Northwest since
1873, over $500. 600 directly, besides nearly
as large sum indirectly. to keep up the
department which has special charge of
TIC MOih Vi encouraging settlement IN the
Northwest. Thus each settler in that part
OF the Dominion has cost Canada more than
$50. Something is radically wrong with
the immigration business. so far as Canada
Is concerned. and it Is difficult to say what
that something is unless it be
that Englshmen are still hunting to find
Canada upon the map of the world without
much success. Members OF the govern
ment freely admit this great disappoint-
ment. but most of them manifest the ex-
pectiOn that when the Canadian Pacific
railway gets into operation, in connection
with transpacifc steamer line. there will
be rush of immigration all along the road,
especially in the prairie section.

THE PRICES.

Prices on the stock exchange ran along
quietly in the same way as they have for the
past few days, rendering the market fat and
uninteresting. The news that was circulated
during the day was generally of bearsh
character, but the bulls seemed to have a
good grip on the situation and prices showed
little disposition to recede. 1t was supposed
that the strike on the Gould roads would
cause u depression of the securities inter-
ested, but nothing of the kind occurred and
generally the prices were steady and the
market duh. The Chicago grain market was
weak and closed lower than the opening
Provisions were weak and mess pork dropped
of considerably. Lard followed suit.

bought flask of whisky with which to
drown his SORROWS, and during the ride
frequently took big drinks. Several young
men were in the car with him. Finally he
rose. and said: Fellows, goodbye" and
deliberately stepped from the car door on
the track beneath. The wheels passed over
him, severing his head from his body.

The firm of Robson & Crane was estab-
lished about a year later and was the result
of an accident At the time of the first pro-
duction OF Leonard Growers "Board-
ing House." Crane and Robson were
each engaged to play the character
of Gillipod. Each had n contract with
one of the two managers of the New
York theater in which the comedy was TO be
produced and each refused TO play any other
character. A law suit was threatened by
each if the other was allowed TO have the
part. A compromise was effected and they
appeared in the same cast, Robson as Gill;
pod, and Crane as Col. Elevator. The sue
cess Of the piece was attributed TO the pres
ence of two comedians. at the end Of the
run they played together in Forbidden
Fruit" and took the latter piece on the road
1t was difficult TO find a comedy with two
leading characters, so, at the end OF a sue
cessful season of Forbidden Fruit" they
appeared in 1.-THE Comedy OF Errors." 1t

quently, retained In their repertoire. For

propriety of hurrying up the cable line, and
the long-talked-of motor line to Minneap-
olis-that is If Mr.. WAsHBURN will con-
sent to let another motor line run into Min
neapolis. But at all events we can have
the cable line in this city without asking
Mr.. WAsHBURN's consent, and can after
awhile have a motor line running within

is that the proprietors OF the West side

good service they are doing the city, but for
the further good that is likely to result from
the establishment of this line.
