EFFECT OF THE STRIKE.

The Starving Coke y srs Are Applying
Plant. III
SoorrDAnE, Pa., Hay %. The rush Of
the old men for work at the various plants
continues. In most instances, however,
they are turned off with an excuse and
given to understand that their services
are not needed. Hundreds of old miners
are drifting from one plant to another
in the vain hope of finding work, but ev-
erywhere they go they are met with the
same statement, "No work now" This
simply means that blacklist has gone
through the regions and man refused at
one plant is certain to be refused at
another. AS a result, they
are either preparing to leave the district
for another field or are drifting aim 'essly
about, and more homes have been broken
up by the strike that has just closed than
by all the strikes that have preceded this
most gigantic failure. Reports are COM
ing in hourly of the hopeless restitution
of hundreds of families. Heretofore
many of them have been given credit at
the stores owing to the idea that at some
time or other they would return to work.
When the operators refused them work,
however, they we're at their wits ends.
With no work, no supplies and no cred
it, hundreds of them are in far worse
condition than they were at any time
during the strike. Hundreds of others
are living in bare subsistence and had it
not been for their poor garden product,
that every miner takes pride in, before
this they would have been obliged to do
more than ask their neighbors for tenn
porary assistance.

Important English Affairs.

LONDON, May 29,-A measure Of the
Importance of the Behring Sea bill is
rarely read the first time in the house of
commons without the ministers afford
ing the house fuller particulars than
they vouchsafed to-day regarding it's pro-
visions. The members listened with
strained attention to Smith, expecting to
learn the terms of the agreement with
the Washington government, and great
was their disappointment when he
stopped short, after uttering formal re-
quest for permission to bring in a bill, to
enable the queen, by order in council to
make special provision to prohibit the
catching of seals in the Behring sea by
her majesty's subjects during the period
named in the order. @ .estions put to
the ministers in the lobby elected moth
ing barring the statement that they are
awaiting final responses from Washing
ton. Smith has only vouchsafed the as
surance that the arrangement already
secured harmonizes the action Of the
British government with that of the
American government. The other min
lsteral members expressed themsel YER as
certain that the measure will meet with
10 adverse criticisms either in the house
or in the country and that it will lead to
a permanent settlement of the dispute.
Though the period of prohibition is un-
derstood to be one year, the
elastic nature of an order in council will
empower the government to make further
extension. SIS many members were dis
cussing the situation in the Hobbies and
in the smoking room that the house
could not proceed with business, and it
was counted out early in the evening.
Although Lord Salisbury told the house
of Lords tonight that the French gov
eminent would accept the suspension of
the New Foundland bill, uneasiness pre-
wallis in the foreign office regarding M.
Rlbot's exact view of the practical aban-
donment of the measure which Lord
Salisbury is pledged to pass. The min
lsterialists do not consider the New
Foundland difficulty by any means settled
though they admit that the dispute
between the home government and the
colony is for time eased. Lord Sails
bury spoke with hesitancy OF the situa-
ton. He declared that the house of
commons was now pledged to support
any future legislation necessary to carry
out the treaty obligations, but he added
that as to the immediate result of the
proceeding of the house of commons he
must speak with reserve, as he did not
know how the French govern
ment might view it. The Par
nellites hear that their chief
will we'd Mrs. O'Shea before the regis
trar about the middle of June. 1t is not
true that her daughters will remain with
her. Captain O'Shea controls the family.
