The district miners relief station on
Main street will be closed Wednesday
after being open for five weeks. During
this time the committee in charge of
the relief work accomplished remark
able results in securing aid and dis
tributing provisions among needy min
ers of the district. Between $500 and
$500 in money and several hundred
dollars worth of provisions were rails
ed, and this money was expended as
fast as received to give assistance to
destitute miners and their families.
The Glendale miners are still quit
ting work and many of them are leav-
ing the place for good. A few have
gone to Moundsville to get jobs, while
others are going to Ohio and quite a
number to Finleyville and along the
Wheeling division of the B. q O., where
the mines are busy. These latter mines
have laresE contracts to furnish coal
D~ti1e lake trade and are particularly
rushed Just now as the lake season is
approaching an end and the coal for
this trade had gotten very low during
the strike. No word has been received
from Glendale yet as to whether the
company will pay the price. This is
the only company in the district that
SO far has held out. The report which
was current Friday that the Elm Grove
company had also not granted the adj
vance is denied by the company. Mr.
Chambers says that this is not true
and that they were among the first to
agree to pay the scale price
The trouble at the Kelly Coal Works,
near Warrenton, is still brewing. Early
yesterday morning large crowd of
miners assembled on the hill
sHe>aheSesthe mouth of the mine at one
O'Clock and kept up such terrific racket
with tin pans, fish horns and shot guns
that they succeeded in frightening away
the thirteen foreign miners who attempt
ed to enter the mine. The company has
forty miners ready to go to work. Fiji
teen Of the foreigners are quartered in an
old church at Warrenton, and the citizens
Of that village refuse to give them water

WASHINGTON. July 27.-The President and
Secretary Alger had a conference at the White
House tonight arranging the necessary official
action for the establishment Of the proposed
military post in the Alaska gold fields. There
was some talk about the practicability OF the
step at to-day's Cabinet meeting. and q question
as to the right of tho Executive to direct the
establishment Of q military command in the
territory without the approval OF Congress was
brought up. The sentiment Of the Presi-
dent and Cabinet. however. was In favor OF
going ahead. Doubt as to the authority Of
the Executive were disposed Of by reference to
the Attorney-General for an opinion. The opin-
ION, delivered later in tho day, supported tho
contention of those who desire the post to be es-
tablished. It II held that the President has the
right to send troops to any OF. the territories to
protect the interests Of the United States and
that the appropriations for the transportation
Of troops and the maintenance Of the army may
DO used to carry out the project.
The chief obstacle In the way or tho project IL

for one company showed hat 1t could not be car
ried out without q great drain on the resources
of the army. Transportation would amount TO
q large sum. and the freight rates on the supply
gage would make necessary the expenditure Of
q great deal OF money, Some doubt was also OK
