BaITAIN's IDLE Drawn.
Mil After Mil Closing Owing to the
Scarcity Of Coal.

OOe@~f
LONDON, March 19.-The stagnation in
many branches Of industry caused by the
strike Of the coal miners continues, and
threatens to become more accentuated as
the manufacturers stocks OF fuels become
exhausted. Unless the strike is speedily
settled the Worcestershire cotton trade will
meet with a severe set back. The manu-
facturers cannot afford to pay the an
nounced prices for steam power.
Half OF the mills at Occrington are at a
standstill owing TO the scarcity Of fuel, and
many thousand hands are idle.
The strike in Noting hamshire is prac-
tically ended. The men have resumed
work In all the pits except four.
STILL OUT IN NORTH WALES.
It was expected that the strike in North
Wales would terminate to-day, but the
men hold firm in their demands The mine
owners have called another meeting. Mt
which it is expected that a compromise be-
tween themselves and tine strikers will be
agreed upon.
If tine strike continues until the end OF
the week 10000 brick and terra Gotta work.
ers Will be thrown out of employment, as 1t
will be impossible TO run the works any
logger, their stocks Of coal being already
low.
A DECISION TO FIGHT 1T OUT.
A meeting of the Lancashire and Cheshire
coal mine owners was held to-day, at which
1t was decided to resist the demands of the
miners.
The mine owners of I.eicestershire also
held a meeting to-day and decided to give
the men the advances they demand. It is
expected that the conference tomorrow will
result IN compromise between the miners
who are still out and their employers.
IDLE LOOMS AT MANCHESTER.
MANCHESTER, March 10. - Fourteen
| thousand looms were idle in Burnly yester-
day morning, and 5000 were to stop after
the close of work yesterday. Many manu-
facturers in wow of the narrowness of the
margins aud the dearness OF fuel for their
| immediate wants have determined TO cease
work until the end of the miners strike.
Owing TO the coal strike several more
mills at Accrington and Leeds have been
compelled to close. The situation is becom-
ing alarming.
The Dundalk and Newry Packet Company
announce that owing to the coal strike they
are compelled TO suspend operations on
their Liverpool line.
SCOTCH MINERS UNEASY.
Thirty thousand Scotch coal miners who
are not sufficiently organized for strike arc
working only four days week in the hope
| that they will thereby secure an advance.
The coal supply is dwindliug. 1t is esti-
mated that 2S0, 600 miners ara still out. This
involves the idleness of an equal number of
workers in other trades.
CONCESSIONS IN YORKSHIRE.

relied gun, sent nine buckshot crashing

his saddle, and went to the river. The body
was taken out OF the sack, stones were tied
to his head and feet, and he was thrown
into the river.

SUBSIDIES FOR SHIPS.

Ingenious Suggestion.

Vice President Stahlman Makes an
Ingenious Suggestion.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Vice President
Stahlman of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad made an ingenious subsidy sugges-
tion to the House committee on merchant
marine to-day to obviata what he said was
an unjust discrimination in the Farquhar
bill, which the committee is to report favor
ably against the southern railway and
steamship lines Instead of requiring a
steamer to sail a full thousand miles
in order to get the subsidy, he proposed
to pay the subsidy for any fraction of a
thousand miles, provided only the voyage
is from United States to a foreign port.
This would give steamer from Florida to
Cuba, for example. the same chance at the
subsidy as steamers from New York. The
committee was favorably impressed and
will probably incorporate this provision in
fha bill

The ConvictS We're Armed and Re

LONDON, March 19.--The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Daily Netos says the
Russian government has been disagreeably
impressed by the meetings which have
been held in England and America to de-
nounce the outrsges committed upon
exiles in Siberia.
A correspondent in Siberia sends details
of the Irkutsk affair. He says that the
prisoners involved in the affair were exiles
who were suspected of having been con-
cerned in the explosion at Zurich last
March. They were allowed to live without
restraint in Irkutsk and easily found
employment among sympathizers who are
opposed to the Russian system of
exiling political prisoners to Siberia. All
went well until the police discovered that
the exiles were printing proclamations and
SO ding them to Moscow. As soon as the
authorities learned what was going on
the leaders among the exiles were sent
to labor in the mines and the others were
told to prepare themselves for a journey
into the interior.
A BATTLE.
The unfortunate prisoners appealed in
vain, and at last resolved to sell their lives
dearly. Barricadlng themselves ia the
house they awaited an attack. They had
been well provided with arms and amuni-
ton by friendly SiDerians, and they re-
ceived the troops who were sent to CAPTURE
them with heavy fire. Several soldiers
were killed by the first voley. A fierce
fight ensued, the besieged exiles holding out
until q majority of their number were
either killed or wounded. After it was all
over the ringleader, who had survived the
battle, was hanged.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Unless an un-
expected change occurs the Senate will pass

be small. The votes will be very Close
There are senators who hope to see the
Blair bill defeated, and representatives who
hope to see Mr. Mudd defeated. But neither
result is expected. Still, all the op-
ponents of the Blair bill will try
to be present in tho Senate,
and all the democrats will try to be present
in the House, SO that if any opportunities oc-
cur they may be improved. The democratic
leaders would be very intolerant of repeti-
tions of the absentees which cost Mr. Cate

tomorrow it will become a law, for the

dent to sign it.
