ScoTTDALE, PA, April 2s.-No evic-
tions, whatever, were forced to-day, the
operators being content to forcing a
resumption at their plants. Forces at
all the works were slightly increased
to-day and the coke shipments were
heavier than they have yet been. The
operators have sent for men, who are
expected tomorrow. The report OF Mas
ter Workman Wise, who had attended
the Columbus convention-that the
eight-hour move had been Abandoned
was received with a great deal OF salts
faction. The miners only hope now
lies in an abundance OF money, as suffer
ing is widespread among the strikers.
Wise distributed SO, 200 among the most
needy to-day, but it was merely drop
in the bucket TO clamOrers for more.
William Hay, of the Executive Board,
started for the East tonight to appeal
TO the Federation Of Labor for Financial
aid. Every possible effort will be made
to raise So, 900, the least sum that will
be necessary TO carry on the strike. The
Executive Board of Mine Workers has
issued an appeal to all friends to turn in
any aid intended for the eight-hour
move, to assist the miners here, and 1t
is believed money will soon be plenty.

received here from the British columns
advancing on Manipur confirm the re-
port that the Regent OF Manipur (the
Jobraj, or heir to the throne, who, with
the Sennaputty, or cOmmander.in-chief,

fed to the hills in company with the
prominent chiefs who assisted him in
the revolt.
A great fire has been seen in the
direction of the capital, and a loud OK
plosion which took place near the con-
nagration seems to indicate that the
Capitol has been destroyed.
The dispatches received here yeSter-
day stated that the British troops were
within 10 miles OF Imphal, the capital,
of Manipur, and that Imphal was to be
taken, IL possible, by assault at o'clock
this morning. The British column
which was recently at Silchar (also
known as Cachar) has engaged ana ut

ROME, April 2s.-A representative OF
the New York Associated Press has had
an interview with a prominent dlgni-
tary OF the Roman Catholic Church, re-
garding the forthcoming encyclical let
ter OF Pope Leo NH.
In reply to the question, "ls the en-

Pope has finished it, but he has decided
to wait till the first of May is past before
giving 1t 10 the public. 1t Is the prin-
cipal work of the pontitical, the
synthetic resume OF the whole politi-

He has worked at it for many years
without interruption. He has con-
densed the doctrines OF the greatest
doctors and theologianS. He has also
brought into reQuiSition the leading
intellects Of the United States and Eu-
rope. His aim has been to define
the doctrine, and sooth the minds Of
those who have been hitherto undecided
as to what side to take in the present
movement. He greatly de-
plores any division in the Catholic party,
teaching as they tend TO diminish the
social influence and mora action Of the
Church.

4 Marine DisplaY.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S.-The morn
ing of President HarriSon'S marine ex-
cursion opened with a fog enyeloping
the shores Of the bay, but as the fore
noon wore en- the fog lifted and left the
harbor sparkling in sunlight. Along the
water front numerous decorations were
placed on the houses and shipping. The
City of Pueblo, the steamer which was
TO convey the Presidential party on the
excursion, the steamer Haytian Repub-
lie and other large vessels were also
decorated from stem to stern. The
steamers Ukiah and Garden City
and numerous smaller crafts, which
dotted the bay were crowded with
people, so that at the hour OF the PreSi-
dents embarkation over 10000 persons
had left the shore TO accompany him on
his trip. At 1890 o'clock the
Pueblo steamed out in the
bay and was soon followed
by the war ship Charleston, the gov
ernment steamers Rush and Merwin,
with the custom house officials. After
the vessels had swung into line the
other vessels conveying the unofficial
eXcursionists made haste to follow. The
pageant from a marine point Of view
had never been excelled on the Bay Of
San Francisco. The vessels proceeded
on ten miles out to Whistling buoy,
stopping to view the forts and military
sites. which greeted the President with
a salute of cannon as the vessels passed.
