Cincinnati, Aug. 13-The following spe- cial to Lhe CemmercialITribune from Montgomery, w. Va, was written by Ferd Dlcher, the leader of rihe marching strikers i'm that region:
 The progress of the present strike in this field is wonderful. Every mine in > this and the Kanawha valley is closed with the exception of dhe Acme and one mine in Lenark Our army marched last night to Mount Carbon and closed the mine of the Great Kamawha cogliery, one of the largest on the river. It was inti- mvated by tbhe .opearators that this mine would absolutely refuse to suxp md opera tions and would fight our army 'bo a fin- ish, but we are proud to say that all are with us. This ,is one of our greatest vic tories. The winfried mine voted last night to join the strikers, and this is an- other greai1 victory for organized labor. This valley, which has been loading $50 cars per day, has been reduced to 25 cars.
 Our army has been increased by new forces, and we expect ito go to New River with 5000 miners in line. Our army is jolly and in-the best of condition, com posed not of toughs and thugs, ass has been reported, but of honest workingmen, who are fighting for lheir rights.

ROMANCE OF A TRAMP.
A Ragged and Weary Willie Gets a
$1,000 Draft.

Caney, March 9.-About a month ago
q, tramp whose clothes were not of the
best goods, and were not without holes,
came into Caney and like other tramps,
he started the rounds to get a back
door hand-out.
The first place he struck was the Ho-
tel Roctop de Hendrix, where he put
on the usual pitiful expression and
asked for something to eat. Mr.. Hen
dirk, like all good citizens should do,
very politely, and yet in u way that
showed that he meant it, informed the
tramp that if he got anything to eat
had there. The tramp hesitated, and
of the supper a, short time afterWard.
During the course of the evening the
tramp in conversation with Mr. Hen
dirk informed him that his father was
quite wealthy and one of the leading
bankers of Germany. This surprised
Joe, and he asked the tramp why he
did not send home for money. The
tramp said he thought he would and
asked Joe to write a letter for him.
wherein he asked for 81. 600 The let
ter was sent and the tramp left for the
territory, telling Joe before he left that
he would return by the time that the
answer got back from Germany. The
incident had almost been forgotten,
man postmark on it, stating that 81 coo
had been sent to the tramp, whose
name was George Seibert.
The draft was sent from Germany
to LeavenWorth, Kan. Wednesday
morning the tramp arrived and now
has 500 in his inside pocket and $500
to his credit in the bank.

SANTA FEE IS REBUKED.
Interstate Commission Finds the
'sLong and Short Haul" is Violated.

Washington. March 9.-The inter-
state commerce commission today in
an opinion by Commissioner Prouty
announced its decision in the matter
of alleged violations of the fourth, or
long and short haul, section of the act
to regulate commerce. by the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe and the receivers
thereof and others.
This investigation was caused by the
rate war of short duration between var
ious competing carriers from Chicago
to Colorado common points, in the
course of which the tariffs in a few
days were reduced on fifth class mer-
chandise from 80 cents to 80 cents, with
out any corresponding reduction to in
termediate points. The hearing at
tracted some attention at the time, for
the reason that Mr.. Walker, a former
member of the commission and receiver
of the Atchison, undertook to justify
his action upon the ground that the law
was secretly being violated.
He also testified that one of the prin-
cipal reasons why it could not be en-
forced was the unWillingnesS of the
railroad companies to cooperate in it's
enforcement. The committee says Mr..
Walkers opinion ultimately comes to
this, that he refuses to obey the law
because he does not like it. It is held
that no disturbance of rates, secret or
open, creates such dissimilarity of cir
cumstances and conditions under sec
ton will justify the long and short
clause without order of the commits
