The Strike in the Coke Regions Growing
Serious-The Supply of Coke Very Low
Mills and Furnaces Threatened with
Forced Suspension Many Hungarians
Seeking Other Homes.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 3.-The great
strike in the coke regions is likely to cause
a coke famine. 1t has been estimated that
the supply on hand to-day, both by opera
tors and consumers, willnot last at the most
over ten DAYS, and at the expiration of that
time, unless the strike is broken, and
men resume work, furnaces will have to be
banked, rolling-mills stopped, and thou
sands Of men all over the country be
thrown out OF employment. The magni-
tude of the strike, OF the number OF men
whom it affects and OF the hundreds oil
thousands OF dollars that will be lost to
workingmen, can not be estimated.
In the coke region there are between five
and six thousand OF the class OF
people who are termed slavs by HI Frick.
This embraces both men, women and chill
aren, although two-thirds of them are men,
and a large proportion OF them single.
1t is not thought that they realize
what they are going to do when put out OF
their houses. Very few OF them have be.
gun to make any plans for the future.
Probably five per cent. of them will go back
to their native country. About thirty
bought tickets to Hungary Monday. To
an interpreter one OF the leaders said chat
they were disgusted with this country, and
would never come back again. A few are
talking OF going to the South and West,
where there are coal-works, and the re-
malnder will probably go to the already
overcrowded Hooking valley.
The action of the strikers in refusing to
dig coal for the engines is actingas a boom.
erang the operators having retaliated by
refusing to allow the strikers to take any
coal from the bins, and in a few days there
will not be a hundred families in the whole
region who will have coal enough to keep
one fire burning. Coke can not be burned,
and there is no wood to speak OF in this
region, so with millions OF tons of coal in
the pits waiting to be dug, the operatives
will AVE to freeze and 60 without iood OF
give in and break the strike.

The investigation of tally-sheet forgeries
has assumed a new phase. 1t may be termed
a negative phase 1t seems to be the order of
the day for witnesses to adopt a line of con-
duct in Misunderstanding more original
than the old-fashioned one of telling the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Mr.. Perkins concluded to demur to the iuris-
diotion of the court. He is still demurring,
The new policy is that of general denial-an-
swering every question with a simple negative
or 81 don't know" This is a very convenient
and comprehensive way of committing per-
jury; but it has its disadvantages, as some of
the negative witnesses may discover.

AS foreshadowed in the Journal several
days ago, a collision of jurisdiction is likely
to occur in the matter of the Wabash receiver
ship between the courts Of the Seventh and
Eighth judicial circuits. Judges Brewer and
Treat have been formally notified at st. Louis
of Judge Gresham's order removing Receivers
Tut and HUMPHREYS and appointing Judge
Cooley, and the tenor of their remarks during
the preliminary proceedings pointed quite
strongly to a conflict of jurisdiction. In that
case the Supreme Court of the United States
will have to settle the dispute.

IT has been given out from the White
House, for several days, that Governor Hill,
of New York, was expected there to make the
President a visit. Straightway this informa-
ton was seized upon by the Cleveland organs
as proof positive that the relations between
the President and the Governor were of the
most cordial nature, and as settling in the
negative the rumor that Hill was a rival can
didate for the nomination in 'S8. After mat
tiers had been thus comfortably arranged, and
the very date of the visit fixed, Governor Hill
unkindly came forward with a denial of the
statement that he intended going to Washing
ton as Cleveland's guest. Now the organs are
explaining that Logan's death and ''other I'M
~foreseen circumstances have delayed the
Governors trip for a short time, but that Hill
is "all right" just the Same. Perhaps he is,

AN intimate Illinois friend of General Lo-
gan says he was first elected to Congress as a
temperance man-not as the nominee or can
didate of a temperance party, but as a practi-
cal temperance man. In those days whisky
was an important factor in a campaign, and
grocery treating universal. "When Logan
was nominated, I" says the friend, she stated
positively to his friends that he would not
conduct that kind Of a campaign. There
should not be q drop of whisky in his politics.
The leaders, who were in many cases inter
ested in the grocery trade, demonstrated, but
he remained firm. They told him he would
certainly be defeated. Very WE'LL he said,

The cynical and pessimistic tone Of Mr..
Tennyson's last poem has moved Mr.. Glad
stone to cEiticise it in the light of human
progress during the last fifty years. Mr..
Gladstone is anything but a pessimist, and
has himself borne too large a part in the pro-
gressive movements of his time to believe the
world is going backwards. His article will be

statesman of the progressive school on the
somber views of the old poet.

COLONEL WEIR, manager of the western
division of the Adams Express Company, at
Chicago, tells the inside history of the dis
covery and arrest of the "Jim Cummings
gang Of express robbers. There were many
false clews and erroneous theories, but the
detectives finally struck the true one and fol-
lowed it like b~loodhounds. Colonel Weir
says the working up of the case was one of the
shrewdest pieces of detective skill in the
nnals of crime. In answer to the question
what the detective work cost the company he
said: .
cit has cost us a good penny, but ne
haven't reckoned the expense in prosecuting
the search. l said to Mr.. Pinkerton: Put
just as many men on the case as your judg-
ment dictates. Spend just as much moneya as
is necessary to bring the search to a successful
~fruition. Let not the matter of expense en-
barrass you at any stage, and if it comes to a
question of whether you shall get the robbers
or recover the booty, get the robbers by all
means.
No doubt this was the best way to 60 about
it. If the detectives got the robbers they
were pretty sure to get the money, oras much
of it as could be recovered, whereas if they
worked to recover the money alone they We're
liable to lose their scent altogether. Besides,
in that case the crime would have gone un-
punished. The robbers got $50, 700 and the
company has recovered $40, 1000. They are
confident they have got the whole gang, five
in number, though there is still a lingering
doubt in Colonel Weir's mind as to whether
Fotheripgham, the messenger, is implicated.

Mr.. HENRY STANLEY having reached Lon
don and conferred with the projectors of the
Emin Bey relief expedition, announces that
he will start for Africa in a few days. Mr..
Stanley is in demand. 1t is said that on
Christmas morning he received a cablegram
from his agent in New York offering him
$40. 900 to return and complete his lecturing
tour, while from the $50 lectures he was to
give in Australia he would have cleared not
much less. He may not make as much
money by the African expedition, though if
successful in r~escuing Emin Bey the British
government and people would not be slow in
acknowledging their gratitude. But perhaps
he cares more for the fame he may reap than
for any material reward.

Hon. l.. M. CAMPBELL, Senator from Hen
bricks county, who was elected as an indie
pendent. and occupies a somewhat unique
position in that body, has made a careful and
exhaustive study of the questions arising out
of the late election for Acknowledgements
which, at the request of the Journal, is given
to the public through our columns. Mr..
Campbell came to the investigation of the
questions as a non partisan, and for the sole
purpose of determining his own action as Sen
ator. His argument and his conclusions will
have great force with thinking, conservative
men of all parties. We call special attention
to his article, printed elsewhere.
