Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 1.-All roads led to
Turtle Creek to-day. Marching miners
from all over the district were converg-
ing toward Camp Determination, and if
all those reported as beng on the march
reach the scene before morning there will
be at least 5000 diggers present at the big
meeting, which is scheduled for II o'clock
at McCrea's school house. The miners
expect 5000 to be on hand.
The borough Of Turtle Creek experience
ed the liveliest day in its history with its
large transient population of miners and
various visitors, but the day passed with
out trouble of any kind. Burgess Teats Of
the borough visited the miners camp to-
dav and said he had no reason to order
the crowd to dsband and as long as peace
prevails he will not disturb
them. There was
complete shift in the makeup of the
campers to-day. The miners from the
Wheeling division of the Baltimore and
the big movement against the DeArmit
men was inaugurated, left during last
night for their homes at Finleyville, Gas
tonville Snowden White Hall and Banks
Vile These same men, after reaching
home and recuperating somewhat have
formed new divisions and are returning to
the seat of war to attend the big meeting.
While the old guard was fitting last
night, new men were taking their places
and took charge of the watch to be kept
up until all Of the New York and Cleve-
land men quit work Saturdays guard
was noticeable for the absence of foreign
ers The gathering on watch to-day is
just the reverse and Is
composed almost entirely of the
foreign element, which is much
more excitable than the others and much
harder to control This phase gives to
the situation a more serious aspect.
over 900 weary strikers were quartered
at Camp Determination to-day and about
one hundred at Camp Desperation, and
about 400 lounged about the hills above and
about Turtle Creek. There were provis-
ions enough left for 200 men, and a grand
rush was made for the provision wagon,
and the result was many went hungry.
About this time Organizer Miller arrived
on the scene, and announced that a Pitts

bread, and a grocer had given a dozen
cheese. To prevent another rush, Miller
organized a guard, and all were satisfied
for the time. AS large donations of food
have been promised, there is not likely to
be repetition of to-day's scramble.
Among the most prominent visitors at
the miners Turtle Creek camp to-day were
Gen. John Little, president, and Joseph
Bishop secretary, of the Ohio state board
OF arbitration. They are ready to solicit
signatures to the uniformity agreement,
ana were present to get the status of af-
fairs among the strikers. Gen. Little ex-
pressed some surprise al the demonstra-
ton, He said he had often seen miners
en- strikes in the Buckeye state, but had
never seen them assembled under such
circumstances.
lie said he was pleased with their appar-
ent manifestations of peace.
Sheriff Harvey A. Lowry spent the aft
ernoon in Turtle Creek consulting with
