Wi, In the Men.

COLUMBUS, O.. April 21.-Reports today
at national headquarters of the miners
union, are to the effect that in the block
coal fields of Indiana, where the men
have contract that they will work two
days week until May 1st,when they will
join in the suspension.
Maryland, where nothing was expected,
has Joined in the suspension. On the
New and Kanawha rivers there is every
indication of a general suspension.
1t is an open secret in Columbus that
the operators of this region are in sym
pathy with the suspension and hope the
miners will win The operators here de-
sire to pay the scale proposed by the
miners, but are prevented by certain
operators in the Pitts burg district who
have been paying lower wages.
Seven hundred men are out at New
StraItsville- These miners are among
the most conservative and intelligent in
the country.
A special from Trimble to the Dis
patch says ali of the miners in the Sun
day Creek valley are out There are
about 500 of them.

The State House Care Taker Is in Jail

At the state house today the trouble

Harris is in jail at Olathe. He had
some difficulty with boy named Dave
Moberly about a we'll. Harris shot at
Moberly five times, but his aim was
poor, and no one was hurt.
An attempt was made to secure bond,
but no one could be found among his
Populist friends to give the necessary
security, $780, SO he was given a cell.
Not much sympathy is expressed for
Harris. He is not at all popular with the
attaches of the state house. One of the
officials said today that if merely asking
it would get him out of Jail, he would
not make the request He is quarrel
some and inclined to be saucy.
Attorney General Little is responsible
for giving Harris his position and he is

Operators There Have Contracts With
Their Men For Several Months Yet.
ST. LOUIS, April 21.-According to men
interested in coal mines in what is known
as the st. Louis district, this city will be
but little affected by the national strike
which has been ordered by President Nc
Bride of the National Mine Works asso-
citation.
General Manager Simpson of the Con-
solidated Coal company, which brings
the largest supply of coal into st. Louis
of any concern, stated this morning that
he anticipated no trouble.
''The difficulty is all outside of the St.
Louis districts" he said. 1--WE have con-
tracts with miners which have to run
some months and both sides are satis-
fed The matter is hardly of interest to
ST. Louis at all.''
General Manager Williams of the Car
terville Coal company said his men were
perfectly satisfied.
'We cut ten per cent some time ago."
he said, ''because he had to
and they have not objected. The
leaders have told me they
would not go out OF course there is the
danger that some other mines may close
up and the men from them force us to
do the same, but our men will not will
ingly stop work.
1T will be impossible to tell anything
about how much strike this will be until
Monday morning when the whistles blow
for work.
''Just at present you can't tell anything
about it, even the men don't know, but
the chances are st. Louis will not be af-
fected."

JEERED VOORHEES,.
Tho Professors Against the Wilson BIll
Can't Find the Senator.

WASHINGTON, April 21,-More than
1000 working-men from Philadelphia
and New Jersey marched down Penn
syIvania avenue today to emphasize their
protest against the Wilson tariff bill.
Men and women were in line, marching
four abreast under the American flag
and huttering banners and displaying
notices opposed to the Wilson bill.
The special Baltimore q Ohio train
from Philadelphia carried go. This
delegation was met by company Of 800,
which had arrived yesterday. Ia the
front rank was carried great silk Amer
lean flag. which had been donated by
John Wannamaker for the demonstra-
tion. Behind was black banner with
the legend in gold letters:
"Non-partisan delegation of working
men from Bristol, united in defense of
their home industries and to prevent
their transfer to nations hostile 10 "a
Democratic or Republican government" +"
The procession marched to Metzerotts
hall by the way of Pennsylvania avenue.
Many senators and congressman walking
up the avenue at that hour to the capitol
eyed the parade curiOusly, and one Of
them was Senator Quay. No demOnstra-
tion of any sort was made.
Gathering in Metzerotts hall, the com
mittee as delegated to wait upon senators
made their reports. Ephraim Ligg re-
ported that Senator Voorhees,, chairman
of the finance committee in charge
of the bill had been written
to and had been called for at
his home and at the senate, but could not
be found. Jeers greeted this announce
ment Delegates who had called upon
Senators Brice, Smith and Murphy re-
ported that these senators could not be
found.
Senator Hill had promised to meet the
delegates at noon, and Senators Cameron
and Quay had promised to do all in their
power to bring the memorial Of the con-
vention to the attention of the senate
The resolution adopted at the meeting
recites the prosperity of labor under the
system of protection, and in the name Of
authorized representatives of ''millions
of American workmen. without distinc-
ton of party" demanded that no changes
shall be made in existing tariff laws.

"A MONSTER STRIKE.
The One Inaugurated by the
Coal Miners Today,
Will Be the Greatest in COun-
try's History.
SYMPATHY WITH MEN.
Mines Producing One Hundred
Million Tons Stopped.
Six Thousand Pittsburg Miners
Start the Movement.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 21.-The great
coal strike, SO far as this district is con
cerned at least, appears to be a success.
At noon today the six thousand men in
the river district and the $500 in the rail-
road district laid down their picks, and
receiving their wages, quietly left the
mines.
Dispatches from the Clearfield district
report that the $4,000 men also struck
and mines are generally closed.
In the Phillipsburg region, east OF the
mountains, all the mines are idle. There
the suspension is Clearfield will enforce
idleness upon 1000 men on the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pitts burg railroad.
In the Connellsville region the men
are still at work, but the leaders expect
to have almost the entire region of 49,
900 men out on Monday.
The strike promises to be the greatest
in the history of the country. 1t will in
volve, if as great as anticipated, nearly
10000 men, and will stop work in mines
that produce upwards of 100 million tons
of coal last year in the twelve states and
territories These miners received $685.
500, ,627 in wages in 1890, according to the
eleventh census of the United States. In
that year 139,SS6 mines produced 79,SS9,-
1OS tons of coal valued al 1858, $50, ,669-
Should the strike be effective to the
f1llest extent anticipated the effect upon
the business of the country would be in
calculably injured, as the strike will en-
force the suspension of many trades de-
pendent upon the coal industry, and may
seriously affect the operation of the rail-
roads in the states where the miners will
60 out.
Many of the operators in this district
declare that it is impossible to pay the
wages asked and say they are satisfied
to permit the mines to remain idle, but
this does not represent the sentiment of
all the operators, many of whom ac-
knowledge that the wages demanded
could be paid if all would keep faith and
not seek to take an advantage.

quake was felt throughout Greece last
evening. The shock at Thebes was se-
we're, the town being practically destroy

The inhabitants everywhere have been
alarmed today by fresh shocks and DO is
feared that the worst has not yet hap
pened as the weather continues close
and misty.
The shocks today injured the northern
wing of the palace here in several place4.
A large stone fell out of the gate
of Hadrian. But the general damage
to this city and Pier8us, the port of
Athens was slight and there has been no
loss of life here. The villages around
Atalanta have suffered terribly. Larymni,

MARITIME are in ruins. Serious damage
has been done at Chalcis and at several
villages on the island of Euboea. All

of the shocks this morning.
The city is in a state of panic aud
destitution. The terrified people have
rushed in crowds away from Thebes. be-
lieving that the end of the world has
come. Conflicting stories are told as Co

six states will be somewhat larger than
an average one.
Four hundred and sixty-six dealers
report the outlook excellent, 1878 say
good, 1856 an average, 428 trifie
below an average; LA say poor, while
best and very good prospect, especial
