striking Miner, Gaining Ground.

The wives of the miners who con-
tinue at work in the Plum Creek and
Turtle Creek mines in the Pittsbura
district are becoming strong factor
in bringing about the success of the
coal miners strike in that section. A
big mass meeting held by the camping
strikers near Plum Creek mine was at
tended on Sunday by 1000 miners who
had persisted in working the previous
week and nearly every one was accom-
panied by his wife as a result of mis-
sionary work among the women by the
strikers. The meeting was inaugur-
ated by religious services conducted
by Rev. Lincoln Lash, assisted by a
choir of 90 colored jubilee singers
after which Mrs. Mary Jones, the Chi
cago agitator, spoke for about an hour
putting the case very plainly to her
women auditors. She placed the re-
sponsibility for the success or failure
of the strike on the wives. The result
of the meeting was the assurance from
nearly a thousand men that they
would join the strikers and it is now
thought that it will only be question
of very short time until the De Armit
mines are tied up completely.

A Washington dispatch says: The

most powerful in the navy, to proceed
at once TO Honolulu. The Baltimore,

also he ordered to Hawaii as soon as
she is out of dock, and orders were
sent to rush work on her. These or
ders are taken here as an indication
that the government is not entirely
satisfied with the polite attitude of
Japan and does not propose to be caught
mapping by any coup that may be medi-
tated by the astute Japs.
While it has been the policy of the
high officials of the administration to
treat all talk of trouble with Japan
with scorn, there is strong feeling in
the war and navy departments and
among the officers of both branches of
the service that affairs are really
growing serious.
Information has just been received
from Honolulu by the steamer Belgic
that upon the arrival of the steamship
Mouna at Honolulu from San Fran
cisco U. S. minister Sewell will carry
out the instructions received in the
last mail said to be to this effect: If
the Mouna brings word that congress
failed to pass the annexation treaty,
Minister Sewell is to declare a protec-
torate and raise the American flag. In
view of the attitude of Japan Secretary
Sherman believed n protectorate of the
United States is the only way to pre-
vent possible hostility on the part of
the Japanese while awaiting congress
sional action on the anne xation treaty.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, the
! leading Democratic member of the
Senate foreign relations committee,
will leave Sept. for Hawaii as a rep
resentative of the committee, to make
report on the condition of affairs on
the island. He will return before the
converting of congress in December.

will be a strong appeal for annexation.

Miners Strike News.

The officers of the striking coal
miners are centering their influence
and efforts upon the men still working
in the West Virginia fields and the
mines of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Co., of which p. ii. DeArmit
is president, in the Pttsburg district.
Strikers to the number of 5000 to 5000
assembled near the Turtle Creek and
Plum Creek mines for the purpose of
inducing the workers there to come
out. DeArmitt urged Sheriff Lowry.
of Allegheny county, to post notices
demanding that the strikers disband
and return to their homes under the
threat of legal proceedings being taken
against them. This only produced
more determined feeling among the
strikers and the sheriff, fearing that
crisis was approaching, telegraphed
Gov. Hastings news of the situation with
view of having him prepare for an
emergency. The strikers continued to
gather and held big mass meetings at
McCrea's school house and other points
about the DeArmit mines, and they
established camps at various places
The strikers are slowly winning
points about the De Armit mines
They have already practically closed
the Sandy creek and Oak Hill mines,
and the Plum creek men are coming
out in small bodies. The marchers
claim they have succeeded in inducing
those of the miners who live at Coal
port. where the Plum creek tipple is
located, in joining the ranks. This re-
duces the number of men in the mine
by so. The success of the campers in
bringing out the Coalport miners
frightened the spirits of the men and
made them more positive of victory.
The men were pleasantly surprised
when dozen women, with their chill
dren, walked into camp. They are
the wives of miners, and when they
said they had come to stay as long as
their husbands and brothers were
there, and would cook, they were given
three cheers.
Peace and order seem to be the
watch word of the strikers. They real
ize that they have the sympathy of the
public, and if they lose it their cause
will get black eye. At the head
quarters of the miners officials in
Pittsburg there are daily many proffers
of aid, and the majority did not wish
the public TO know of their sympathy.
