reporters present at the meeting OF
the representatives of the Pittsburg coal
operators to-day which was called TO
hear the report of the committee of fif-
teen who had been appointed to formu-
late Il plan for settlement of the strike
As announced yesterday this committee
failed t. agree on any plai and they
, Skcd that it be discharged. The request
was granted and Immediately 0ftcrw .rd
lcXandrr DCnpSt.r suggested that
{ mmittee of ten be appointed to take
the place of the discharged committee,
but with unlimited power to act. Tha
svggt stion was acted upon without much
disCl s&ion, and the follow ing committee
was selected: NJ. II. Taylor, chairman;
Thomas. Young, U. A Andrews, D. w.
Schlendeberg, f. l.. Rokhins, Alex Demp-
stcr, II. II. Boyle, John Blythe, b. Il.
Blaznell and w. T.. Dearmitt. The in
structions given the committee denote
general will on the part of the strikers
to wind up the strike with all possible
haste and at the best terms to be Sc
cured. The committee has full power to
act for the Pittsburg operators, and can
settle for the district at any time they
may see fit. This is Il decided change
of mind on the part of the operators as
expressed at the Cleveland conferences,
and taken together with the favorable
aspect of affairs in Illinois seems to i'll
dicate that the end of the great strike
is near at hand.

Of the striking miners increased to about
600 men near here to-day. but no out
Il eak has occurred yet. The governor
has placed the national guard at the
disposition of the sheriff and large
number of deputies armed to preserve
EeuCe. The NEST of the men are now
;.amped here from the southern portion
# the state and talk very loudly about
chat they intend to do. Most of them

miners are anxious to accommodate them.

ties will approach from three directions
simultaneously. 1t is said they have
i, id mines of dynamite under all the ap-
breaches of Bull Hill which can b."
touched off by electricity, thus destroy
ing the enemy. Two Formidable le-
doubles on the line of the Florence u
CrI pie Creek railway iii the canyon near
the Wilbur were built during the night
end it will be easy for small force sta
toned there to repulse 1000 men. .-.
