Soldiers Called Out at Cleveland TO
Suppress Disorder.
LEVELAND, Ohio, August 4.-Shooting
by soldiers and rioters marked the opening
of another day in the vicinity of the Brown
hcisting works.
At 1:3O o'clock this morning two men
stopped in front Of Mrs. Linds boarding
house. few squares from the Brown
hoisting works, where a man named Gett-
ner. who is employed at the works, boards.
The two men yelled for the scab to come
out, and then they began to throw stones
at the house.
Presently one of the men fired at the
door, the bullet passing through the panel
and entering the house.
The noise attracted the attention of the
militia, and a detachment of company 1
men was ordered to the scene on the dou-
BILE quick. AS the soldiers turned a neigh
boring corner, the two men started to run.
The lieutenant in charge shouted: ''Halt!"
The pursued men paid no attention to the
order and the soldiers began firing at them
They returned the fire, and for a few mo-
mentS there was lively fusllade.
One of the men suddenly made a cry and
was heard to groan. moment later
however, both had disappeared in the dark
ness.
The affair caused the utmost excitement
in the neighborhood for time. The bull
lets struck several houses. Two went Clean
through the side OF a grocery store
The soldiers and others believe that the
TWO men had planned to blow up Mrs.
Lind's house.
About $50 non-union men went to work
at the Brown works this morning urder
guard of large force of militia aud no
lice. An enormous crowd of strikers and
their sympathiZers were present, but 10
trouble occurred.
On every street within a radius of nearly
mile of the plant both soldiers and lock-
ed out men patrolled the sidewalks. MANY
or the soldiers were doubly armed wearing
halt and nIx-a~
guns. A number of the strikers also carried
guns.

CARLISLE PREDICTS DISASTER.
The Treasury Secretary Reiterates HIS
Declara ION Abolt rec Coinacn.

The Treasury Secretary Reiterates HIS
Declaration Abolt rec Coinage.
WASHINGTON, June 81. - Secretary
Carlisle reiterated yesterday to a cor
respondent the predictions which he
made in his Chicago speech of disaster
to follow the adoption of free coinage
in this country without international
agreement. Creditors will not wait
for the actual passage of a free COIN
age law" he says, but as soon
as such n measure receives the APP
proval of the people they will de-
mand their money, and if not paid,
will enforce collection by judicial pro-
ceedings and sale Of property. Payment
of all obligations held abroad will
be demanded in gold at once and every
investment of foreign capital in this
country will he withdrawn" Assist
ant Secretary Curtis said: The
adoption of free coinage would have
an immediate disastrous effect. All
gold coin would certainly be boarded,
contracting largely the volume of tho
circulating medium. At the same time
currency not redecmable in gold would
rapidly depreciate in value. Interest
rates for the use of money would rise
very high and the usual cure for this
condition, the sending OF money from
abroad, would be prevented by doubt
as to the value of money in which such
loans would be repaid" "

THE TWo-THIRDS RULE.
Speculation as to How II VIII Work In III

Speculation as to How II VIII Work In the
Democratic National Convention.
CHICAGO, June 29-More than three
generations ago the two-thirds rule
was established in a democratic
national convention. 1t has pre-
vailed and been in force ever since.
1t means that the support of two-thirds
of all the delegates is required to nom.
mate candidates for president and vice
president
As only majority vote is needed to
organize the convention, change the
rules, adopt a platform and do every
thing except nominate the candidates,
it is conceded the silver forces can
wipe out the two-thirds rule if they
act and vote together. On the basis of
9o6 delegates, and taking for granted
the unit rule will be observed in votes
on all questions, the silverites viii
have a clear majority of not less than
$50. This is on the returns by states
and territories, which give SIS silver
delegates, against 32s gold or sound
money men II the additional ~ dele.

they can safely be counted with the
silver majority, thus increasing it to

1t is asserted, however. that friends
of some of the silver capdidates, not
ably those of Mr.. Bland, will unite
with the gold men against dropping
the rule. Bland's friends argue that
he has strong lead and that the aboli-
tion of the two-thirds rule would
weaken his chances

FARMERS ENCOURAGED.

Government OnicIals Certain That Thin
Years Harvest WIN Yield Large Profits.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-There is new
hope for the farmers. The year 1896
promises to bring them rather better
returns for their labor than last year
and better than the year before. The
wheat crop of the country is sure to be
the largest since iS92, and larger THAI
the average of the last l6 years. This
years wheat crop is unofficially esti-
mated by the department of agricul-
ture at 475, coo, 900 bushels This has
been exceeded only six times since
1880 The Importance of the wheat
crop to the farmer is not so much in
the total yield as in its market value.
According to the present outlook,
the value OF this years wheat
crop will greatly exceed that
of the last three years The
department of agriculture does
not presume to estimate the prices of
any commodities in advance of the
market, but unofficial information is
to the effect that the average value of
wheat this year is likely to be about
81 cents, against 81 cents last year, 40
cents in 1894, "a cents in 1898 and Os
cents in 1892 If the estimate of 81
cents for this years crop be borne out
by the market quotations during the
remainder of the year, the total value
of the 1896 wheat crop will be S97O,-
O00 OO0
The condition of spring wheat indi-
Gates a prospective yield that closely
approximates a full or normal crop,
the average for the country being 80 .
per cent The average for the year
1895 was 97.s The percentage of the
combined winter and spring wheat
acreage is lOl.7, and the condition of
all wheat is SID
AS vet the government has no of
fetal returns on the corn crop, but uu-
official advices indicate a normal crop,
probably equal to last years large
yield of 2,15l, 900, 900 bushels. Prices
are stiffening up trifie, and the out
look for greater total value than last
year is counted good. The outlook for
oats, rye and barley is good.

ONE HUNDRED DEAD.
Pittston, Pa, tho Scene of al Aw-
full Mine Disaster.
Underground Workers Imprisoned and All
Believed to lie Dead-Scene at the Nlae
AppaIls staIwart Men and Women
Overcome-Heard for Miles.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, June 29.-While
90 miners were at work in the Red Ash
vein of the Twin shaft at Pittston
about three o'clock yesterday morning,
the roof caved in and it is believed all
of the men perished. Thirty Poland
ers and Huns were entombed, and it is
thought the total num- Der of bodies in
the mine will reach 100 More than
two-thirds of the victims were
married men. The concussion was
so great that it was heard for miles
around. The foundations of nearly
every building in Pittston were shalS-
en- and windows and doors ratified as
in a tornado In the houses nearer to
the mine, persons were thrown from
their beds. The first thought was that
a great earthquake had occurred, and
the inhabitants rushed pell-mell from
their houses The ringing of the fire
bells and the shrielling of the big mine
whistle told the story.
Crowds of people gathered about the
mouth of the shaft and numbered
thousands by daybreak. Stalwart
men stood appalled,, and frantic wom-
en-, who had husbands or sous in the.
doomed mine, waited in despair.
When it was given ont that there was
little or no hope of rescuing the men
alive, women and girls tainted and
were borne away.
The rescue work was promptly be-
gun, but at two o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon il became necessary to swear
in extra policemen to control the crowd
around the mouth of the shaft 1t had
increased to fully 1000 The latest re-
ports were that the situation at the ill-
fated mine was unchanged. The res
cuers were hard at work, but making
little progress. There is danger that
in hurrying the work other lives may
