THE COAL
Will Shortly Treat the People to An
other Squeeze.

WIZ 'Al"rtlJ treat the ieople to An
other Squeeze.
The coal combine is planning a lit
lie surprise for the public in the shape
OF an increase of 25 cents per ton in
he price Of coal. Last year there was
an increase of SO cents per ton, so that
we may be thankful to be let off so
cheaply this year. A great deal of
business sagacity is shown by increas-
ing the price Of coal in June. The out
cry against the trust will be less
violent than it would be during the
winter months. Before snow flies
again the people will get accustomed
to the higher price and the trust can
retain it's reputation for b~enevolence.
Another benevolent institution mask
ing IN the sarb Of a trust is the gas

they have consolidated the household
er, who is not prepared to meet their
demands promptly, can at a moments
notice be left in total darkness as far
as Illuminating gas is concerned. The
eourtesies which were, extended when
there was opposition cannot now be
looked for. The arrangement must
give great satisfaction, to the combine,
but the public, whom it has literally
by the throat, can only, continue to
srcan. '*~ :.""..' 80

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
Miners 1000 Strong Marching ON Cam
nOnsburg Last Night.

PITTSBURG, July 1S.-The events OF to-
day in the Pittsburg coal mining district
indicate that there is trouble ahead. The
strike has been on for two weeks with no
cause for alarm In any quarters but to-
day the pangs of hunger and mutterings of
discomfort have taken tangible form and
before morning one thousand miners viii
have marched on Cannonsburg, the objec-
tive point being the Boone and Allison
mines. A few days ago the operators Of
these mines made a requisition on the
sheriff Of Washington county for additional
deputies. 1t is supposed that there are at
least thirty deputies at each mine, we'll

TWO DAYS FOR DEBATE.
House Decides Not to Railroad the
Tariff Bill.

Associated Press Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The indications
tonight are that the tariff bill as agreed
to by the Republican conferees yesterday
probably will have passed both houses Of
Congress and be {. law at the end of the
present week. Delays and complications
now not anticipated might somewhat pro-
long the final struggle. The Republican
conferees have been working hard all day
consulting and arranging the details of the
report which they now believe they will be
able to submit to their Democratic col
leagues tomorrow morning. The bulk of
this work has fallen on the shoulders of
Senator Allison and Mr.. Dingley, who are
preparing the statements of the effect of
the changes made by the conferees which
will be submitted to their respective houses.
They have had a small army of clerks at
work throughout the day in the room OF
the Senate committee on finance preparing
the bill for the printer If this task can
be accomplished tonight so that the
printed bill can be laid before the Demo-
Gratis tomorrow morning the debate Will
begin in the House tomorrow afternoon.
1t is not believed that there will be any
disposition on the part of the Democratic
members of the conference TO delay the bill
in full committee, but the Democrats have
had no meeting to determine their course of
action on this point. Mr.. DingIey expressed
the opinion tonight that an hour would
be sufficient time in which to explain the
changes made by the conferees to their
minority colleagues on the committee. One
or two of the Democrats are tonight in
clined to insist on a day for deliberations
on the changes, but they, of course, realize
that they are helpless if the majority desire
to report the bill over their protest, and,
inasmuch as the Republican leaders of the
House decided tonight TO give two full
days for the discussion of the report in the
House they probably will acquiesce in the
decision of the majority to make the re-
port tomorrow. All along the Republican
leaders have been disposed to allow but one
day for debate in the House and while
they still believe one day would be suf-
hcient after discussing the question to-
night, they decided. more to disarm the
protests the minority would be sure to
make and the possible criticism that the re-
port was to be dragooned through the
House. to give two full days for debate
The report must, of course, be acted on by
the House before ii is considered III the

many Of them were willing to come out in
the morning. The miners were chilly at
first, but got warmed up and showed much
enthusiasm and the speaker was frequently
chee1ed. 1t was a noticeable fact that only
MOnCngah miners were In attendance none
from the neighboring colleries putting in
their appearance. Notwithstanding the
ram, which commenced falling soon after
the meeting commenced, the miners listened
for over an hour TO the address. 1t was the
largest meeting that was ever held in this
district by the miners and many OF the
operators who have been confident that the
men would stay in, say now that they are
prepared for anything. Not only the min
ers, but their wives and children turned
out at the meeting. Conservative men here
think il is only a matter of time until the
men come out, but no important action is
expected until Debs speaks here tomorrow
night. The company officials say If the
men strike the pits will be filled with Ital-
ians and negroes. and If this action be
taken the men say trouble may be ex-
pected. It is said that impromptu al-
