HE is FULL OF CONFIDENCE,
eoMPERs ASSERTS THAT THE
STRIKERS MUST WIN.
Is of the Opinion That All of the
Troubles VIII Be Settled by the
First of September Miners Doing
Active Missionary Work.

Washington, Aug. 26-President
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor, gave, his view of the present
coal strike situation to the Associated
Press today as follows:
The situation, as I gather it from
the reports of our organizers, indi-
Gates that between GO and 65 per cent
of the mines in West Virginia are now
closed down completely. A letter
have Just received from the Cooper and
Pocor-las district is Drumming with
confidence. and says that work in that
region has been reduced one-half in
the last fortnight and predicts a gen.
eral collapse there very soon So long
as the West Virginia miners continued
operations there were, of course, little
hopes of an absolute victory for the
miners. because West Virginia could
supply the urgent needs of the market.
But, with the suspension in West Vir-
ginia becoming general, if the miners
in the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois keep their ranks
unbroken, as / am confident they will,
the strike must result in an absolute
victory for the men. Before Sept. 10
the lake trade must be supplied. The
situation becomes daily more acute,
and while | hesitate to fix a day, | be-
lieve that the strike will be terminated
by the end of September and that the
settlement will be in favor of the min
erS."
When Mr.. Gompers' attention was
called to the great destitution and SUI
fering among the strikers he said that
the coal operators had taught the min
ers how to suffer. They had been
drilled in hardship by the operators.
They would continue to endure their
trials a little longer in the hope of re-
lieving their situation, permanently in
the future

IT IS WE'LL NAMED.
There Is No Food for Strikers In
Camp Isolation.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 26.-There was
no food in Camp Isolation at Plum
Creek for the strikers breakfast, and
for the first time since the camp was
inaugurated the miners experienced the
hardship of doing without anything to
eat Captain Bellingham sent two men
into Williamsburg yesterday afternoon
to purchase supplies They were ex-
pected to arrive during the night, but
failed to show up until late in the fore
noon Dinner was served in the camp
as usual.
There was no marching by the men
of Camp Isolation. The miners are sat
isfied with the work which is being
done by the men who go over to Cen
ter every night, and have not marched
since last Monday.
The men at Center were out at an
early hour, doing active missionary
work The deputies were not taken
out to the roads at Arp. NJ as usual
and the road was left completely I'M
guarded. They were satisfied with the
concentrating about Center Clarks-
burg and Plum Creek.
Superintendent Samuel De Armitt
when asked why the deputies had been
withdrawn, said that they did not need
to stop the marchers any longer. He
was confident that none of his men who
were now working could be taken out
of the mine. The deputies would here
after be used only to guard the prop
erty of the company.

wives and Daughters Assist.

P5stsburg, Aug. 26--Tae wives and
daughters of the striking miners at De
Armbtt's Oak Hill mines near Turtle
creek, took a prominent part in today S
demonstration against the working min
ers Early this morning a dozen or more
women gathered AT the camp and with
flags and banners, marcL.1 along the
roads leading towards the tipple. On
their way they met a xssm5er of miners
going TO the pit. and they greeted them
with yells and jeers.
They derided the nsCr7rs who were
working and ridiculed TN in manner
which caused many OF them to hang
their heads IN shame. The women say
they will make a demonstration every day
hereafter
Superintendent S. C. De Armitt and four
deputy Sheriffs commenced the work of
evicting the families of the Plum creek

Boise, Ida, Aug 26-News reaches
here from Nez Perez, Ida, that abso-
lutely nothing. so far as furnishing a
tangible clue to the perpetrators of the
Parker outrage and probable murder at
Kamiah has resulted from the rigid
search and investigation made by the
Idaho county officers and Kamiah citi-
zens
The mystery deepens. The finding of
Parker's body would relieve the in
tense feeling in the Kamiah neighbour
hood. The work is now ascribed to In
dams.
The long haired, or wild Indians,
those not under the influence of the
Christian missionaries. have become of
late vengeful and surly in their be-
havior towards the whites. Many in
stances of this fact have become pub
lie of late.
Fences erected around watering
places and cabins have been torn down.
gardens laid waste, and as the rene
gades always seem to be we'll supplied
with whisky, travellers on the reserva-
ton roads are often molested and rude
ly handled by the half drunken In
dams.
Richard Grim, manager Of the Clear
water Brick & Lime company, was re-
turning from Kamiah the other day.
At the top of the mountain he was met
by a long haired renegade, who APP
piled some offensive words to Mr. Grim
without any provocation. The white
man. who is an all round athlete, re-
monStrated in such a vigorous manner
with his fists that the Indian drew his
knife. but Mr.. Grim secured it before
any damage resulted.
Three drunken Indians entered the
Greer home, at Greer's ferry, the other
day and after boisterously eating sup
per, attempted to demolish the table
dishes and household furniture. The
women and children were terrorized,
but the prompt action of Jim Greer
in bringing a rifle into view quoted the
disturbers and they quit the place
with many threats and offensive ges-
lures
The white people there regard the
long haired element of the Nez Perces
with increasing suspicion. That some
bloody work will yet follow the sale of
liquor to Indians by Lewiston and Nez
Perez dealers is certain. Lewiston is
the principal supply point. Only this
week your correspondent witnessed as
the various saloons of that town in a
happy state of intoXication. The bet
ter element has repeatedly appealed to
the authorities for relief, but the off

THE FOREIGN MARKET
Had Much to Do With Speculation in
New York

New York. 'Aug. 26.-The speculative
attraction in grain circles today was
the foreign market. The ring was sur
rounded from start to finish by a large
crowd of brokers, most of whom were
bulls and had buying orders which
ran the total days business up to $780,
600 bushels. a tip had been given out
that corn was good for a big rise in the
next few weeks. and the investment
buying on this and other Influences was
a feature Of the day. Many of the big
gest operators are now in corn. Word
came from Chicago that the corn ring
there would not hold the crowd Of trad
ers who We're trying to execute orders.
The country is interested in the pre-
dicted boom and bought freely today.
When wheat sold off in the afternoon
corn broke loose from its high priced
companion and had d little bulge on its
own hook. Crop news is Enthusiastically
gloomy. The frose season is near at
hand and from all accounts the grain
is SO far behind its average growth al
this time of The year that even with
the most favorable weather from now
on it will enter the danger period at u
disadvantage. The days news was eX-
ceptionally bullish. Nebraska and
Kansas complained of droUth. Iowa
has suffered from cool weather and
wired shat frost earlier than Sept 10
would do immense damage.
The Price Current filled out the list
by predicting that the crop is likely
10 be somewhat short of the years
probable distribution. First prices to-
day on September were 35% against
SASS last night. The level then shifted
to 351s, and after reaching 363s in the
afternoon. closed firm at 36e. or NO
1ssc higher than last night. Gables
were stronger. The wheat market had
rather 2 wild opening. but cooled off in
half an hour and was without impor-
tanF development for the balance of the
day. An early scare among September
shorts furnished about the only sensa-
ficnal features. The violent gyrations
in that option around the opening Of

Chicago, Aug 26.-Today for the first
time since the present bull campaign
in wheat was started, the price of
September wheat sold above the dollar
mark in Chicago.
Ten minutes after the opening $1.031z
was offered, an advance over yester-
days closing price of 624 cents. Even
at that tempting figure the bull clique
refused to let go of their holdings.
Enough wheat came on the market to
break the price to 9S5s cents by the
time the closing bell sounded, but the
brokers who are engineering the deal
stoutly denied that ii came from them.
There was. perhaps, a shade Of ma
1lciousness in the way they forced
shorts TO bid up. 1t was currently re-
ported on Monday, when prices broke
so sharply that the pool was forced to
put IN 100000 in margins.
They certainly had their revenge to-
day.
The rise was plainly due to the clique,
which is now swelled, by rumor to in
clude Joseph Letter George r. French,
Allen Grier & Co. and James Keene of
Wall street. The only leader, George
H. French, who appeared distinctly
above the surface, makes no secret that

September wheat. There is not much
more than over 100000 bushels of con-
tract wheat in Chicago, with hardly
anything coming. and an immense
short line of cash wheat sold for ex-
port. This is the situation as it now
plays into the hands of the bull COM
bine.
The sudden rise of September was
not reflected in any other large market
in the country, with the exception of
Minneapolis, where September bounded
from % cents to 81.
ST. Louis advanced ? cents at one
time, but relapSed to opening prices
for Decem Der. Although statistics We're
not given much attention, one item of
foreign news had distinct influence
The foreign potato crop shortage is
estimated at the enormous total of
1000 900, 900 bushels, which was expected
to increase the demand for American
wheat Its influence was especially felt
in December wheat, which is not sup
posed to be under the thumb of any
clique.
Corn and provisions We're both af-
fected by the excitement in wheat
In corn the trading was enormous.
and although an advance of but 11s0
IL cents was reported. the feeling was
very strong at the close.
Closing prices for provisions were

Havana, via Key West, Aug. 26.-
There are 1000 Spanish soldiers in the
hospital in Havana and at other prin-
cipal points. About 1000 are sent back
monthly to Spain incapacitated. Sick
ness is increasing. The health of the
city is not good. The official reports
show that for the week ending Aug. IL,
the death rate was 80 per 1000. Bust
ness is at a complete standstiil. The
army is not being paid, and a feeling
Of hopelessness prevails among Span
iards and Cubans alike. No one has
much faith in the success of General
Woodfords mission to Spain.
The situation throughout the entire
island is one of inaction. The insur
gents are not on the move, except in
the case of small bodies searching for
provisions. Stories of important recent
engagements are unfounded.
The United States consuls throughout
the island have been refused leave of
absence, and are restless under the re-
straint. Several of them are i'll and
wish temporary relief.

OUR SANITARY INSPECTOR.
He Reports the Condition of Affairs
as He Sees It.

Washington. Aug. 26.-In his report
to Surgeon General Wyman for the
week ending last Saturday, DR.. W.
Drummer, sanitary inspector for the
marine hospital service at Havana,
SAYS:
THE deaths from all causes are in
creasing rapidly each week. The
deaths from yellow fever show a slight
increase over the preceding week. Of
the q deaths from this cause, % &C.
CURED among the Spanish soldiers and
sailors. While comparatively few cases
are reported as occurring among the
crews of war vessels, it is noticed that
the largest man-of-war here has been
removed from the Havana side of the
harbor to point in the open bay, con-
sidered to be the furthest from infec-
ton. It has been the policy of the
Spanish government, in the last few
weeks, not to send sick soldiers here
from all parts of the, island, as has been
done formerly, and this, in a measure,
accounts for the decrease of cases.
Convalescent soldiers are being re-
moved TO Spain and recruits are COM
ing over to- take their places. 1t is
probable, therefore, that there will be
less fever during the following months
than during any month in the past two
wears"
