THE COAL MINERS.
All Eyes on Pittsburgh, the Center
of Labor.
ALL ORGANIZED DIGGERS WILL STRIKE,
Grecnsburg Unorganized Miners VIII Not
Join the Strike, But VIII Rush-A
Strike Means Steady Work
for Them.

PGTTsBURG, July 3.-The largest con-
vention of coal miners ever held in
this district began here at 10 o'clock
this morning to take action on the
strike circular sent out by the general
officers a few days ago.
President Dolan stated that the feel
ing among the delegates was strongly
in favor of strike, and strike resolu-
tions would probably be adopted. In
case strike among the coal miners in
the Pittsburg district is declared at
this convention, 2l, 900 miners will be
concerned in the result, Many of these,
however, have not been working regu-
larly for some time.
In the Clearfeld district %, 600 miners
are employed when the mines are run
ming, and District President Dolan says
the whole district will also 60 out.
The number of men in other states
who are concerned in the present
strike, so far as can be estimated, are
as follows: Ohio, 25 900; Illinois, 40, =
900; Indiana, 10000, and in West Vir-
ginia about %, 900 men, total of 142,
900 all told,
The miners employed in the vicinity
of Greensburg will not join the strik
ers but on the contrary are preparing
for rush of work The Greensburg
Madison, Hempfeld and Carbon coal
companies employ about l,50O men
who have never been identified with
the miners union, and always beer
paid the highest scale of wages,
The Inauguration of the great strike
means steady work for them, and a!
much of it as they can perform. Dur
ing the general strike of two year
ago, the miners and residents of Greens
burg literally coined money, and thei
experience at that time is guiding thu
men now.

designs against the integrity or
sovereignty of Hawaii, | am glad to
assure you that such denial was en-

u Ia well known that the pressure for
cunsulaies Is greater than for any other
class Of officea Various causes contrib
utc 10 this desire 10 20 abroad Repre-.
sentative Hit thinks he has tho true
theory. 1T Ia the women folks" he
says You know how Il IL. Brown ur
Jones or Smith, when he has means
and leisure, likes 10 take his family
abroad. When they come back, his wife
and daughters are filled with their OK
periencee. The whole town IL fred with
emulation.
Now, John Jones may not have the
means to take his family to Europe
but he has influence In politics. when
the political wheel turns and his party
is mp, he looks around to see what the
reward for his services shall be. Left TO
himself. he would probably be content
with the postofiice. But his wife and
daughters have had to listen to what
the Brown women or the Smith women
say Of life abroad, aud, womenliSe,
they have listened with envy aud with
n fixed purpose some day to enjoy those
experiences for themselves. So, instead
of letting John Jones ask for the post
! office, they insist that he must be a con-
sui somewhere. Their ideas may be
little indefinite about the nature and
duties Of a consul's Office, but they
know it means going abroad, and that
is enough for them.
So John Jones makes out his applica.
| ton to he consul general to Paris and
| writes his congressman that, while
Paris is his first choice, he will take
something equally good, but it must be
abroad. And thus, says Representative
Hit, "are the lives of congressman
made burden for the first six months
after new administration comes into
power. BY that time the consulates are
all disposed Of, and the disappointed
applicants can return to the postoffioes. "

tho State Of Florida, Besides its delightful
CLIMATE, which TO ons escaping from tho cold
and unhealthful changes of the North seems
AlmoBt ethereal, il lie prominently q land Of
sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred
miles Of saltwater coast and in its twelve
hundred fresb-water lakos are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migTa-
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the

land can the angler find a greater variety Of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety, Deer, turkeys, bears, panthers,
and wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions, whilo birds Of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State. The more novel spsrt Of al

With its matchless climate, its orange

attractions for the valetudinarian, the lover
Of nature, the sportsman and the explorer.

states, called to see Private Secretary
Thurber, and presented q note from the
ex-queen directed to the president, re-
questlng the privilege of making an unof-
fetal n informal visit. The president
assented, and named B o'clock as the most

at that point her attendants dropped in
the rear, and she led the way alone across
the lobby and through the doors, which
were thrown open by the ushers, TO the
blue room, where the president soon
Joined her. The president greeted the ex-
queen In the most kindly fashion, express
ing pleasure at her call, and stating that
he should have felt disappointed had she
refrained from making him a visit while
she was In Washington. The president
and Liliuokalani chatted with evident in
terest on both sides for twenty minutes.
Tho ex-queen asked for Mrs. Cleveland,
and the president responded that she
would be glad to see his visitor, but a mos
senger sent to Mrs Cleveland to summon
her to the blue room returned with the
news that Mrs. Cleveland had gone out
walking.
In all of the talk there was no reference
to politics, save a brief expression of
thanks by Liliuokalani in behalf of the
Hawaiian race for his action in with
drawing the annexation treaty which was
pending before the senate when the
president assumed his Office four years
ago. Not one word was said about tres
toratlon either past, present or future.
This ex-queen referred in feeling terms to
the death of Mr.. Willis, and the president
responded by an eulogy upon the late
minister. With a little further talk Of
this kind tho interview terminated, and
Liliuokalani returned to her hotel with
her attendants, greatly pleased at her re-
ception.

THERE is no doubt much eIaggeration and
nisropresontation as to the number of filthy
and sensational papers that are circulated but
nevertheless the newspaper business is 70 ca
ospticn-t to the rule. There will at all times
men of degrading tendencies creep into the
profession, to cater to the wants of the baseI
element of humanity. These dirty sheets
however, do not find their way into clean
homes and advertisers who are looking fol-
business do not waste money on them. The
OWL is not chronic; in due season it will run
its psrnicious course and clean Journalism
will have its reward, There arc insists in
every calling of life, and the people accept
these warts upon journalism with a great
deal Of forbsaranco.
