Leaders of the Miners Will Leave
Nothing Undone to Win
Their Strike.
Railway Organizations May Be
Asked to Refuse to Handle
Coal Cars.
The Fight at Present Centered in
the West Virginia Coal
Fields.

P1rTsBURa, July 12.-The miners
bsaders will leave nothing undone to aid
them in any way in bringing the great
struggle to a successful determination.
As q last resort, the railroad employees
will be brought into the fight if posi-.
BILE. The heads of the various railway
organizations have been appealed to fol
assistance if needed, and it is said they
will render all aid possible. It was re.
ported that P. NJ. Arthur, chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
had been asked to issue orders to the
engineers not to haul coal until the
miners differences are adjusted. This
would effectually tie up all the coal
ready for shipment, and what might be
loaded in the event of the failure to
bring all of the miners out. When
President Ratchford was asked as to
the truth of the report, he said:
Have Been Keeping 1t Quiet.
eve have been keeping that feature
Of the strike from the newspapers for
several days. will say, however, that
we have communicated with the heads
of all the railway organizations in the
country, and I believe we will have
their support in this struggle. AS to
asking them to call upon the railway
employees to refuse to haul coal until the
trouble is settled, will say this will
only be done after we have exhausted
all other means.
1T would hardly be fair to ask this
until we had used every effort to close
down every mine in the bituminous
coal fields. do not care to discuss this
subject any further. Weare certain of
success, and the situation today is more
encouraging than at any time since the
strike was inaugurated. Organic, S
will be sent into West Virginia, but
how many will go will not be
known for few days. The
national officers of the trades
unions with whom we met have agreed
to send organizers but they will have to
consult the executive boards in order to
determine how many men each organi.
zation can send into the field.
The district officers will make al
effort to bring out the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company's miners.
Secretary Warner says four brass bands
have been engaged, and with number
of men move will be made on the
mines at Turtle, Plum and Sandy creeks.

against us, said he, 'as we will keep
OH the public highways and will have a
field on which to hold meeting'

COAL is SCARCE
Great Alarm Is Felt in Chicago
and Cleveland Over the
Outlook.
Price Of Steam Coal at Cleveland
Has Advanced a Dollar
q Ton.
A Few Days More Will Exhaust
the Supply in Both
Cities.

CLEVELAND, July l2.-Mr. Dan Hanna,
Of the firm of NJ. A. Hanna & Co., de.
slared that the West Virginia miners
would never quit work, and that coal
could be secured from that source if the
railroads were prepared to haul it.
Colonel Myron T. Herrick, receiver, was
unprepared to say whether the Wheel.
ing and Lake Erie railroad would haul
West Virginia coal. He had received
advices from Dillonvale that his miners
are still out, with no immediate pros
pect of their return.
The event Of the morning was the
frantic effort of the little dealer to
secure coal from the big dealer to supply
the retail customer. In every instance
the dealers refused to deliver the coal,
and the effect Of the great strike is
now beginning to be felt in the homes.
The price of steam coal of run of
the mine grade has steadily advanced,
and is now 81 above what it
was Thursday. The demand is becom.
ing greater every hour, and the supply
is constantly becoming less. The feel
ing of alarm is beginning to spread
among men who have viewed the situa-
ton with disdain. Mr.. J. B. Scribe of
the Ohio and Pennsylvania Coal com.
pany was inclined to regard the strike
as of short duration, and it was com.
monty behaved that it would be a fail.
ure. But big mine operators and man.
ufacturers are beginning to consider its
strength, and there is CONSERVATION
among coal dealers, marine men, man.
ufacturers and workingmen generally.
The railroads are continuing to con.
fiscate coal, though one manufacturer
made SO healthy howl that the Lake
Shore actually consented to disgorge
one car. At the breweries and packing
houses the situation is regarded with
general alarm, as coal must be obtained
to prevent incalculable damage to beer
and meats.
Thousands of .workingmen out of EN-.
ployment, factories and mills closed
down, street car traffic suspended-this
will shortly be the result in Cleveland,
unless a compromise is effected in a few
days. Shipments by water have been
cut off entirely, and charters have been
cancelled by the wholesale.

NO CURRENCY COMMISSION.

House Might Authorize 1t but the Senate
Could Not Act.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-The Wash
ington correspondent of The Dispatch
says: There will be no currency com.
mission named during the present
session. The house may pass bill
authorizing the appointment of the
commission named by President McKin-
ley, but it will be buried in the
senate. The Republicans of the senate
will be favorable, but the silver men
will fight to the finish, and within a
few days after the debate begins, if, in.
deed, the question is actually presented,
there will not be quorum Of the sen.
ate in Washington.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The appear.

ships had been reported they displayed
considerable activity and arrested the
assailants of man who had been
knocked down and robbed.

CHICAGO, July ~. 2.-Large consumers
CT coal in Chicago are becoming alarmed
over the possibility of a general shortage
on account of the miners strike. That
several RAILROADS are SO short of coal that
%hey have been forced to appropriate
+, Whole trainloads is not denied by the
pterested parties, but there is much
!. ouch reluctance shown in going into
nstails in regard to the possibility of a
general suspension of business.
The situation at the stock yards is
freely admitted to be serious. Already
the big packers are figuring OH laying
in supplies of anthracite coal, or using
their petroleum equipments. If the
strike continues two weeks the big firms
will be forced to find a substitute for
soft coal. It is also rumored that a
move is OH foot among few heavy
dealers to attempt to corner the local
market in soft coal. The price of soft
coal is advancing.
Only Two Days supply.
AS result of the coal miners strike,
every pumping station, and all public
institutions of Chicago are threatened
with coal shortage and the city is in
great danger of having its water supply
cut of. It was discovered that there is
only two days supply of coal on hand
at the various pumping stations, and at

Public Works McGann, and the leading
coal dealers Of the city It developed that

4 PRISON YARN.
HOw Some Of the Folsom Guards Were
 ParbOiled.

A good story is told on some of the guards at the Folsom State Prison.
 Az everyone knows, Monday night was one of the hottest and most op- pres sive that had been experienced in the interior in many years. One did not require any artificial heat to keep from freezing, yet some of the trusties at the prison made i. 20 hot for the guards that the latter were nearly melted in their hunks.
 The story goes that, while the guards were trying in vain to get a little fresh air in their up stairs quarters, the tTusties heiow were turning on the steam without stint. The radiators that warm the guards room in winter grew hotter az the minutes,a and hours passed so slewly, and the officers rolled and tossed in the sweltering heat, blessing the climate of Repressa and wondering if they were not already in pnrga- tory. all the time unconscious of the fact that they were being slowly roasted from llelow.
 When daylight came the men left their beds, saturated with the per spiration that was boiling from every pore in their bodies. and st ught the out'r air, which they found to be cool and refreshing. Everyone nf them had lost several ponpds in weight, and tkey were il week aud sorry looking lot of lner that reported for duty that morn- ing

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Corrsspondsnt.)
WASHINGTON, July 20, 1897

" ASHINGTON, JuiV ~, 1O0i'
 President Mckinley has indieat- ed quite plainly to a number of prominent Republicans that he has about decided to modify MT. Cleye- lands orders for the extension of the civil service rules and the
 Presidents order may be expected at any time. It is not yet certain how far this modification will go, but it is the impression of those who have talked with Maj. McKin! ley on the subject that deputy collectors of internal revenue, who have charge of the distribution of stamps, and deputy collectors of customs, who are in charge of sub stations, will be among those that are placed outside of the civil service rules.
 As was stated in this corresponds ence several months ago, MT. Clsve. lands consolidation of Pension Ager cies, announced to go into effect Sept. 1, 1897. will not go into effect. The Cleveland order will in due time be officially revoked by President Mckinley. a thorough investigation having shown that the government would save nothing by the proposed consolidation, and that it would greatly inconvenience thousands of pensioners.
 The report that Japan will file an additional and stronger protest against the annexation of Hawaii excites such very little interest in Washington that nobody appears to care whether it turns out to be true or not. Hawaii will be an nexed ill due time, and Senator Morgan, a dyed-in the wool Demo. cratic member of the committee on Foreign Relations, says that if President Mckinley wishes the treaty to be ratified at the present sessIon of Congress, instead of at tine regular session, next winter, he has only to say so and 1t will be done.
