the tunnel. He had been warned to
look out for cave-in, as dirt had been
dropping at the fatal spot for . day

He WAS an old resident of the val

sad occurrence was the conduct Of his
dog, which was found crouching at the
roof Of the tunnel on top of the fallen
dirt, as near to his master as the poor
animal could get. The body of the un-
fortunate miner has not yet been re-
covered, so far as learned. There was

but II is supposed they are to be sent
TO the mines of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal. In anticipation of
any raid that may be made But as the
strikers officials declare that the con-
templated march has been abandoned,
no conflict Is expected. Another march
on Canonsburg was begun tonight. A
big meeting Of the miners was held at
Reising this afternoon. They were in
formed that the Allison mine intended
TO resume work this morning and In a
very short time 1t was decided to make
another tramp across the country and
reinforce the 100 strikers that have
been on guard. They will remain until
Tuesday morning. There was a great
hurrying to and fro in all the mining
settlements in that section before the
sun went down. Every man decided to
take two days rations along. Women,
as has been the case during the present
strike. were among the most active agi-
tatOrs. They are advising their hus-
bands and sweethearts TO take another
tiresome tramp across the country in
order that their conditions might be
bettered
Before evening more than 800 deter
mined men from Cecil. Ressing and

1t was learned later that the deputies

Trusts are not regarded as illegal
combinations in Germany. as is evil
denccd by a recent decision of the Su-
preme court OF the empire. Economic
considerations appear to have played
prominent part in the deliberations
of the court, which. in its opinion, says
that it is not to the interest OF the
community that inadequately low
prices should prevail in any branch Of
business or industry, and points out
that attempts have been repeatedly
made by legislative bodies to bring
about higher prices for certain products
by means of protective duties. The
ground is taken that II this policy be
pursued by the legislature, agreements
or combinations between manufactur
ers to prevent ruinous competition aAs
check the downward tendency OF prceA
cannot be regarded as generally and
absolutely obnoxious to the interRl.
Of the community.

reefs that all acts or parts Of acts re

may hereafter acquire homesteads up

London, July GA definite answer
Is expected from the British govern
inent within the next few days to the
proposal of the United States and
France for bimetallic conference. The
United States bimetallic commission
ers are confident that the invitation
will be accepted. but the movement
meets with the solid opposition OF Brit
ish capitalists. who argue that the Brit
ish financial system Is satisfactory
and the government should not be
called to assist other governments that
may be In distress. The only argu-
ment which weighs with them In fav-
or of a conference is the fear that un-
less international action is taken for
the coinage of silver the free silver
party will succeed in the United States
and bring on financial panic In which
British investments would suffer. Ii
is understood this argument has been
advanced by one OF the commissioners
who has been most active in endeavor-
ing to enlist the support Of the Roths-

From a miner who came down from
Alaska on the Portland it is learned
that 200 Indians of the stick" tribe
were contemplating coming to the
coast at the head Of Dyea for the pur-
pose Of packing freight across the di-
vide and rafting 1t across the lakes
and down the Yukon river to the min
ing fields.
II the intention Is carried out Alaska
will have a full-fedged Indian war. as
the Chilkat tribe has always warned
the Stick and other interior tribes not
to come to the coast to engage in Ia
Dor Of any kind. They were permitted
to come TO the coast each year on trad
ing expeditions, but are forbidden to
engage In any industries. The work
OF packing freight over the divide has
long been monOpollzed by the Chilkats
and no Interference by the Stick tribe
will be tolerated.
