ABSOLUTELY NO HoPELEFT
May Be Two Weeks Before Bodies of I'm.
prisoned Miners Are Found.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 2.-Affairs at
the Twin Shaft this morning were nc
better than they were last night. The
shift that went down at 3 o'clock this
morning, returned to the surface at 9
O'Clock and reported but little progress.
There has been no further ssttling, and
as far as can be seen, there are no in.
dication of another squeeze. The rock
that was struck yesterday afternoon Is
being removed slowly. The wall that
conducts the ventilation was found to be
somewhat cut Of shape. and much time
was spent in STRENGTHENING it out.
All hopes as to finding any of the mep
alive is q bandoned. 1t is the belief Of
General Superintendent Morgan of the
Ilehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal COMPANY,
that 1t will be fully two weeks before
they can reach the bodies and that there
is also probability that they may never
be recovered.

MEETING MADE THEM BETTER.
SO Says Gen. Gordon of the Reunion of th,
Rebel Veterans.

Richmond, Va, July 2. The final meet
Ing of the sixth annual reunion of the
Confederate veterans was held this
morning. Gen. Gordon, in opening the
proceedings said that he believed that
every man, woman and child who came
to this reunion had been made better
by being here. He had nothing but
pity for the man who would say that
this great meeting had been for any
other purpose than for good to the coun.
try and mankind.
An invitation from the Philadelphia
brigade, asking the Confederate veterans
to attend the reunion of the Blue and
the Gray at Washington. September 16,
when monument to the brigade would
be unveiled on the field OF Antietam,
was accepted.
A paper from Loui siana caIup, In
reference to a monument TO Southern
women, was, by rising vote, referred
to tle monument COMMITTEES. Gen. Cor
don said it would not be allowed ts
stop there. A paper sent from Fredercks-
burg, in reference to the establishment
Of a national park, to include the battle
field around this city was adopted.

NEVER RODE oMAFREE PASS.


This Fact Cited To Show That Mr.. Bland
Is Friend To Labor.
Chicago, July 2.-Gov. Stone made the
following statement this afternoon
"Some gentlemen who represent the
Knights of Labor have assumed to ques-
ton Mr.. BANDS friendship for the labor
ing people. His whole life, both public
and private, and his associations are q
standing contradiction to the statement
of that kind. He has been in Congress
twenty-five years and during that time
never rode to or from Washington or any
where else on a free pass. None of his
family ever did so. Not that he has any
antagonism to railroad corporations or
other legitimate enterprises. but in view
Of tho fact that legislation affecting rail-
roads and other corporations was con-
tinually before Congress, he did not
deem it proper to accepu favors either
great or small.
HE returned from Congress after a
long and very conspicuous service, a
com paratively poor man. On his farm
in Laolede county he is trying to earn an
honest living in a modest way. He never
said or did any thing to which any
human being could point, that indicates
the least unfriendliness to the industrial
masses of the country. He has said and
done great many things to the con-
trary, ~

CURTAILMENT PLAN WAIVERS.
Fall River Mill Men Not Encouraged
With Prospect.
Several Mills In That City Still Holding
Out-Plan to Get Operatives to Refuse
to Work Not Likely to Succeed.

Several Mills In That City Still Holding
to Work Not Likely to Succeed.
Fall River, Mass, July 2-The local
manufacturers who returned from Bos-
ton today after consulting with the COM
mlttee representing the other textile CEN
tres. were not quite as hopeful of united
curtailment of production in all parts of
New England as before they went away.
They have not given mp all hope of event
ually securing the ourtailment they are
seeking. Their success now depends
upon inducing certain local mills. to
sign the agreement.
The mills holding out conditionallyTare
the Union, Pocasset, Border City and
Seaconnet. The Iron works mill will
probably not sign any way, but may shut
down independently. The Seaoonnst
mills are not members of the manufact-
urers' association. Two directors known
to be in favor of curtailing, were ordered
today to do as they saw fit in the mat.
ter, their action of course, to be for the best
interests of the mill.
1t is understood that the Bourne mill
directors have empowered Treasurer
Chase to use his best Judgment in the
premises. 1t is said tonight that ii ha
can be released from some contracts he
now holds he will join the.others in cur
failing. Unless the mills named Join
with the others before next week, it Is
thought the curtailment scheme will
not be general success. Outside of Fall
River signatures have been received re-
presenting more spindles than are repre-
sented by local signatures. 1t is reported
in Trades union circles that an attempt
will be made by those manufacturers
who have signed the agreement to ur-
tail, to foster desire among the opera
tives in the mills yet unplnced, to refuse
to work.
They will try to influence them to dc
this. claiming that they are promoters
of the commouweal; that the workers OF
the unions have openly acknowledged
that their plan of ourtailment was the
only feasible one to pursue. The oper-
atives while they realize the gravity OF
the situation, will n OF be led into per
forming any action of this kind. They
know the future uncertainty of the
market. and are determined to work Just
as long as allowed TO.

Socialism Only Salvation.

New York, July 2.-At the meeting of
the Socialist Trade and Labor Alliance
today, the following resolution on the
money question was unanimously
adopted In the retail market. the
purchasing power of the wages of the
worker is One-quarter of their product.
Whether the dollar be made of gold or
silver or paper money, the wages of labor
will be calculated on this basis, of one
loaf OF bread for every four loaves pro-
duced, with the constant tendency OF the
laborers' loaf to be smaller Therefore.
we call upon the wage working voters in
the United States TO ignore every So
called question of the day, other than
class struggle, and treat as one reaction
ary mass the two old parties, the Popu-
lists, Reform and Free Silver parties. ''
