THE MINING TRoUBLEs.-The stu
alton at Pocahontas yesterday was
practically unchanged, and in many re-
spects was the quietest day since the
strike began. William Sisk and Tom
Ratcliff, strike-leaders, were arrested
on the charge of being agitators, and
are in the custody of the military. At
IL o'clock last night rocks were thrown
at the guards at the machine shops,
and one of them, a member of the Rich
mond Blues, was struck on the side of
the head and knot raised by the
blow. The guard responded with
three shots.
Many citizens from surrounding vii
lagos have come to look into the situa-
ton from bushes standpoint, but find
little key to the situation. Some ofthe
West Virginia operators who are iden-
tilted with the Norfolk and Western
believe that an effort will be made to
start up the mines in West Virginia by
.Tune l.

THE latest reliable intelligence from
Honolulu is to the effect that the social.
ed republican government of Hawaii
will soon revert to its legitimate mo
narchical rulers, and that such change
is advocated by nearly all the people
of that country. One of the great
est mistakes President Cleveland ever
made was his failure to undo the wrong
done to Hawaii by his predecessor in
subverting the government of that
country and putting it in the hands OF
disnaturalized American piratical fill,
busters.

A Woman's Postscript.

From the Philadelphia Press.

lem that has teen engaging the attention
of one of the London woman's weekles.
The answers betray that the sex under
stands itself, and does not mind exposing
its amiable weaknesses. All are from wo-
men. who ascribe among others, these
reasons: Because they seek to rectify
want of thought by an afterthought;' be
cause they are fond of having a last
Mord;" because they write before they
think, and think after they have written"
Our correspondent puts down the femi-
nine L. S. to the same cause which leads
women to prolonged leave-taking in omni-
buses namely" and rather profoundly it
appears to the casual observer that they
lack organization of thought" Another
woman comes to the defense of her sisters
with the suggestion that when women
have anything special to communicate they
know that their p S. is equivalent to N.

neat compliment in her reason: Probably

These exist in all nations. We have SO ne

ments in China are not organized. They
lack purpose. They are men of no char

The country has been torn up with such
revolutions before, and it has come out all
right. Take the Tai-Ping rebellion. 1t

what chances are there for American
pital in China?' 1 asked.
Il think there will be great chances"
replied the minister. Following this war
there must be a development of the ma
terial resources of the empire. New gun
works will have to be established. New
railroads are to be built. Coal and iron
mines are to be opened, and the work OF
undermining China will probably begin.
The bringing about of such a result will
require large capital Whether China will
furnish this herself by borrowing II or
whether the government Will farm out such
things to syndicates, in either case large
capital will be required. This capital Will
have to come from America or Europe.
The Chinese will probably take it from the
point where they can get it the cheapest
and at the best rate. If the United States
can do as we'll for us in business Was'
as the other nations of the world We will
be glad to patronize them"
1 next asked some questions as to the re-
lations of China and Russia, and one or
two as to the future of Corea, but to
these the minister declined to answer.

HAND OF A WOMAN.
Mrs. w. II. MOrrisOn's Decision and
the Nomination of Cleveland.

1t is always of interest to note the trail
of a woman in politics. Many an office,
many a nomination has pivoted squarely
on the work of a woman. Those who
are Informed in that behalf, and who
watched the progress of the ballots in
caucus, and remember the size of Crisps
majority for Speaker over Mills, know that
Mills was defeated and Crisp elected be-
cause Mrs. Mills expressed doubts in the
Fifty-first Congress to the glove-lke fit
of the frocks worn by the wife of a we'll
known Missouri Congressman. That is,
however, only an instance.
1t is decidedly to be credited that a wo-
man had much to do with the nomination
of Cleveland at Chicago in 30. Eckels, not
then controller of the currency, had been
Morrison man. His effort was to secure
from his region delegation favorable to
Morrison and against Palmer But at the
last hour hope of success deserted him. He
wired Col. Morrison in this city that it was
doubtful if he could push through 4 Nor
rison instruction.
The people about him felt warmly for
Palmer. who was their rear neighbor,
while Morrison lived far away in Egypt.
But Eckels said in his message that he
could get his folks to instruct for Cleve-
land. AS between Cleveland and Palmer
they inclined toward the cx-Presldent.
What should he do? Col Morrison was
not here when the message came, but his
wife was. .
Mrs. Eiorrison is one of the rarest of
women, devoted to Col. Morrison, and,
withal, of intelligence and decision of
character which makes her an admirable
helpmeet to the colonel Mrs. Morrison, a.
told to n writer for The Star, in the alb
sence of her husband opened the telegram.
1t was too late to get word TO Col Nor
rison. She must reply herself. After care
fully weighing the pros and cons of the
situation, Mrs. Morrison wired Eckels, In
struct for Cleveland"
1t came just in time. Eckels promptly
acted on it; his was the first Illinois dis
trict to instruct for Cleveland, the rest fol-
lowed suit and when the convention roll
was called in Chicago the great state of
Illinois cast her solid vote for Cleveland
Where Cleveland might have been without
it is another story. But there be casuists
who are ready to agree that it was Mrs
Morrison's message to Eckels that nomi-
mated Grover Cleveland.
