THE COKE STRIKE.
Operators and WOrkiUSmen Still Deter.
mined to Fight Il Out

PITTSBURG, May 8.-FOreigners are COM
Ing into the coke region in bulk. An Oper-
ator said to-day that he csn turn 5000 men
into the region in twenty-four hours. but
cannot shelter them. A pecullarity about
this wholesale importation is that the strik-
ers are as firm and unbroken as ever. To-
day the labor officials say there will soon
be plentiful supply of money and tents
for the needy, but this they baye been prom
ising for weeks. 1t Is particularly noted
that the aid pledged from the Federation Of
Labor has not yet made its appearance.
The strikers are losing ground. though
the region as whole is making a poor
showing in coke shipments. Outside Of
several pacific evictions and one occasion
where blackleg was obliged to quit work
by the strikers all was serene to-day. The
leaders and men are preparing for yigOr-
Gus campaign between this and Monday,
and will endeayor to talk with every worker,
either By masS-meetings or individually, in
order to induce them to stop work. The
be made known Monday. In addi-
tlon to the inconvenience suffered by
the near town furnaces. owing to the
coke strike. general complaint comes
to-day from the Mahoning and Shenango
Valley furnaces that are estimated to pro-
duce one-eighth of the pig iron in the cOun-
try. The furnaces in these valleys shut
down last January for two months, but the
coke strike came upon them just as they eX-
pected to resume and for five months many
OF the blast furnaces in the valleys have
been dead. The operators would be glad to
resume, but the coke supply is too weak to
be depended upon.
In figuring up the losses no attention has
yet been paid to the railroads that are
really the greatest losers. The lines run
ming through the coke regions have missed
their 5000 cars Of coke per week for three
months, while the roads in Shenango and
Mahoning valleys for five months have
found a falling off in the shipments Of mill
ions OF tons of coal, iron ore and finished ar
ticleS. All this loss, exclusive of the wages
of the men on every side, and the profits of
the coke end furnace and mill operators will
present figures OF loss almost beyond belief.
OTHER STRIKES.
MILWAUKEE, May 8-A settlement of the
stone-eutters' strike is effected aud this is
probably the beginning of the END of the

CHICAGO, May 8,-The Worlds Fair Di-
rectory this afternoon took action on the
question of the minimum scale of wages de-
manded by the labor organizations by dis
charging the Conference Committee and
adopting resolution to have no more nego-
tiations on the subject. One of the Directors
said this evening that the concessions of
eight hours ana arbitration made by the
former. directory ought to satisfy the
men; that there is no question of
wages or anything else that cannot be
covered by the arbitration. The committee
did not see why so important a departure
from established usage as the fixing OF
minimum scale should be made.
The appointment of Professor p. G. Ives

II begs the Pope's protection for the 400, 600
to 500, 600 Catholics who annually enigrate.
One point urged is that competent Bishops
should be appointed for America to look
after emigrants from different uati0nalities,
as sthe petitioners assert that the Bishops III
the United States nominate priests who do
not know the languages spoken by the emf
grants. The result of this is that Catholic
emigrants lose their religious faith. At the
Vatican no allusiOn is made to this project.
Some believe the carrying out OF the plan

The Full Complement of seamen Enlisted, But
Not Enough to Go Round.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The Navy De-
partment is still in sore straits to find able
seamen enough TO man our ships. Nearly
all the recruits the law allows have been
taken on, and yet there are not enough men
to go around. The United States steamer
Lancaster, in California, is ready to go to
China, but she is short of her complement
of men by at least eighty. The monitor
Miantonomah at New York is ready to go
into commission, but there are no sailors
to man her. 1t is said at the Navy Depart
ment that there must be pro rata scaling
down of the compliments on all or ships,
at least until Congress meets and enlarges
the force. The White Squadron, now at
Norfolk, will be the first to feel the reduc-
ton, and it is understood the Chicago is to
lose seventy and the Boston and Atlanta
