BALTIMORE, March 7.-Bishop Hurst
chancellor of the American University at
Washington, told the Methodist conference
to-day, how the institution was getting
along. He also spoke of the efforts of
George Washington to establish national
university in the federal capital and read
a letter to him from Governor Brooks of
Virginia, in which he proposed to give to
the university stock then valued at s25, GEO.

university, and that it was expected to

which was read TO the conference, is as
follows: 1T is with indescribable regret
that / have seen the youth of the United
States emigrating to foreign countries in
order to acquire the high branches Of edu-
cation and knowledge of the sciences.
Although it would be unjust to many to
pronounce the certainty of these imbibing
maxims not congenial with republicanism
it must nevertheless be admitted that a
serious danger is encountered by sending
abroad among other political systems those
who have not well learned the value of
their own.

BIG STEAMER ASHORE

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE North Ger
man Lloyd steamship Havel. Captain
Jungst, went ashore on the north side of
Gedney's channel early this morning while
entering the harbor. Most of the passen-
gers were asleep, and no excitement pre-
vailed. AT the time of the accident pilot
Conner was in charge The engines were
reversed when the buoy marking the en-
trance of the channel was observed, almost
alongside the vessel, whose stern fell off
to port, and before her Roadway could be
stopped she ran aground on the north of
the outer red buoy which indicates the en-
trance to the channel. The ice in the har-
Dor had again made useless the electric
lamps, and the buoy, not being lighted, was
not seen until too late to prevent the steam
ship grounding. The engines were at once
reversed at full speed, but failed to move
the vessel.
When the tide began to fall the Havel
listed heavily to starboard. Eight tugs
were soon alongside the steamer in readi-
ness to assist in floating her at high water.

1900 ARE ON STRIKE
MOST OF THE PITTsBURG DISTRICT
MINERS HAVE QUIT WORK.
About 1000 Are still Digging Coal
Under Ironclad Contrncts-Break
Among the Operators.

PITTSBURG, March THE strike of the
miners of the Pittsburg district is on in
full force. A prominent miners official
tonight said he thought some of the, retail
operators would agree to pay the price and
get in on the market, but he did not think
the big firms would agree to it. He thinks
the strike at present ill-advised and said
the men should have waited until the mid
die of April. He regrets the act by the
men. The latest estimate of strikers is
1900, leaving those at work in the neighbor-
hood CT 1000.
Among the few miners al work are those
employed at Painters Run, Charities
Branch. Deadly Bros and the Panhandle
Coal Company, all at work at So centss the
Forsythe company, in the fourth pool, at
the rate paid before the strike; the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company
Q,0oO; Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Coal Com
pany, at Finleyville 5000. and Robbins's first
pool men. All of the above are working
under ironclad contracts, and should the
men quit work they forfeit bonus and
place themselves in jeopardy of the law
for breach of contract. Robbins's men seri-
ously contemplate the break, running the
chances. The company officials cannot say
what the men will doi Some of the big
mines on the Panhandle which suspended
to-day are: The Standard Coal Company.
2l5 men; Miller's Run Coal Company, 200;
Ridgeway-Bishop Company, $50. Nearly all
the mines IN the Mansfield district are out.
The Euclie mine of the Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania company at Fort Royal on the Balti-
more & Ohio, and the Cecil mine at Creed
more also closed to-day.
Considerable uneasiness was caused the
operators to-day by the Hackett Coal Com
pany. at Finleyville controlled by Doyle
Brothers, posting notice that their mines
will resume tomorrow at SO cents. the rate
demanded by the men. William Floerrheims
men in the same section asked similar
concession, but were efnphatically refused.
The Doyle Brothers were asked by the op-
orators to rescind their notice, under prom
Use of having their orders filled from the
mines at work for IS cents, but they replied
that it was their intention to conduct their
own business. The men at Coalsburg. on
the Monogahela river, have returned to
work, the company having conceded the
scale.
