Does Not Want to Unite With the United
 seStates Advice to klondykers.


 I1ondong Aug 16.-4Mr. Louis F. Davies, Caradfan minister of marine and fisher- fes, addressing the London chamber of commerce today said every vestige of feeling in favor of union with the Unit ed 'Stsjaecs had long disapp ared, Canada knew she had nothing to gain thereby.
 Eongi llIing, Mr Davies warned interd- ing emig. ants agains- the tremand JUS dif- ficulties of the K londylse saying they would go there ait their own risk and the Canadian government had not advised it. Hundreds of thousands he insisted were going 4tlssre all provided with money or supplies and ehey would die in the passes before reaching the Klondyke. He also said tha a rs-aoion was certain to follow and Canada would be blamed for 1t.
 Referring to the new United States tariff MT. Davies said the Dingley bll had built up a prohibitivs wall against Canadian trade, which the government of the domipsonL therefore, had resolved to greatly transfer to Great Britain.

IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Many Are Out But Refusal of Others Causes
 Distrust. .s@s

Fairmount, W. Va, Aug. 16.--Wood and O'Connell headed a large body of minars who marched to the Montana mine last night to establish camp, but the rain early this morning discomfitued them and not much work was done. For sav- eral days, if the claims of organizers are correct, several men in that mine have been members of the. Mine Workers Union and would have come out this morGing, but they thought more mission- alry w<rk was necessary to make the mevenl-nt general among the miners. Rea and Carney returned from Cornell this morning and another failure there makes the strike situation here very dis couraging to the organizers. The men who are at work in the Fairmont district do not want to strike, and 1t is very im- preoable that they Will.
 About 300 men at Monough forty at | Pritchard, sixty at Montana, 400 at Clarksburg mines, eighty at Palatine. twenty at New England. and sixty at Judge Mason's mine, have been out three l. or four days,

large delegatio from DiHonva1e. Long Run and Wheeling Creek mines march sd here in body, attended the meeting and out-voted the local miners in it. The meeting decided to shut down all local mines in this vicinity and will cause a number of fargia plants to close, and likely the city electric and water plants also.
 After the vote had been taken in the city hall there was great excitemsnt for a few minutes. The miners rose in a body and declared they would go to work in the Wedge mines tomorrow morning notwithstanding the order just voted
 Trouble is looked for at any time, as some miners will likely go in. T. L. Lewis, secretary, was in attendance, and was not for stopping the local mines. but the vote in the mass meeting stood four to one.
 President Ratchford was in Pittsburg, and they wired him to coma down a once, but he answered it was impossib ble for him to attend.

Flaea for unola slm

For more than thirty years the flags which our ships and men of war have fiaunVed all over the world have been made in one suite of rooms in the Brook syn yard.
 Ii is tlae beast of the department s44at the workers turn out flags bftsers made than ishose elltainaba.s in any other zp9r- ton of .he glzibe. Not otfy. are American flags made, but flags of all nations. for each worship. Is required to be fitted on. wian flag of every ration which sends ships upon the sea. James Crimmi $. the forenHans knows more about flags than any one else in lhe world. He weighs the bunting, tests the col3rs. measures the ariras, ep 6 tie cloth. caTves out the stara and inspacts ishe sewing.
 The department reserved for the meas urement of the ags resembles a gigantic tennis court, only in place of white nss the floor is inlaid with stripes and plates of brass. Ths measurems nts of the flags must be perfect The floor is so cd and so large that the senli-montaly# bal 8 of the officers stationed at the Brooklyn yards are held in the room alss4a4
 Some of the women who saw the flaas together have worked for fifteen years. Machinery and electricity have done away with the necessity of sewing the flags by hand. but the women who sew on stars are expert nes1lewomen,s a certaan number of stitches is allowed to one inch and only careful hands can do the work Cutting out the white stars is interesting to watch. The foreman folds the cio h twenty times, places metal star on the pile and marks the pattern. Then with chisel and mallet he cuts out a whole shower of stars at once.
 The flags used by the navy have to en- dure frost and snow rain storms and blazing suns. and therefore great care is exercised in the choice of goods and colcring and many testing devices are used before choice is made of cloth.-Ex.
