WASHINGTON, July 1.-Beyond
the fact that the general deficiency APP
preparation bill probably will be pass
ed. and that the senate will stand
ready to take up the tariff bill at any
time that report may be brought in
by the conference committee, little can
be predicted of the course of events in
the senate during the present week.
The disposition is to do little in the
way of general legislation, and there
is a proposition under consideration
by the leaders of the two sides of the
chamber to adopt the plan now in
vogue in the house of sitting only ev-
cry third day after the deficiency bill
shall have been disposed of.
This suggestion has been made in
view of the possibility of pressure to
take up the matter of the appointment
of a currency commission. The gen.
eral impression about the senate is
that the house will pass such bill
on the subject as the president may
recommend, but there is no probability
that the senate will take the matter
up seriously. The desire is to make
this intention clear by infrequent meet
ings.
There are, however, some matters on
the executive calendar demanding
tention, and there may be an effort
to clear this calendar off during the
week. If such should prove to be the
case, there would be more or less dis
cussion in the executive session over
the McCord, Warner and Goodnow
nominations. The friends of the Ha-

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July IL
The seventh international convention
CT the Baptist Young Peoples Union
OF America is to be held in Chatta-
nooga July 15 to Is, and gives promise
OF being fully equal in interest and
profit to any of its predecessors
The convention city offers unrivaled
attractions in points of natural seem
cry and thrilling historic interest. The
hospitality of its citizens is generous
and will not be found lacking.
Some of the most prominent speakers
are: DR.. j. w. Conley, of st. Paul; Rev.
f. S. Dobbins. of Philadelphia; Rev. o.
G. Wallace, of Toronto; Rev. J. S. Kirt-
ley, Prof II. G. Vedner, Rev r, F. Y.
Pierce and others.
Special interest attaches to the con-
vention this year in view of the fra
ternal adjustments of relations be-
tween the Baptist Young Peoples
Union of America and the Baptist
Young Peoples union, auxiliary to the
Southern Baptist convention. The
gathering will thus be more broadly
and thoroughly national in scope than
any former convention, and the young.
people of the Southland will clasp
hands with those from the West, East
and North in delightful fellowship.
The chairman Of the local executive
committee states to the Associated
Press that he has received informa-
tion that there will be not less than
$4,000 strangers here, and that that
number may be greatly increased as
at no previous convention has there
been so much interest evinced as in
the one about to be held in this city.

PlTTSBURG, Pa, July 1.-Today
marks the beginning of the second
week of the coal miners strike, and
already it gives promise of being one
of the greatest wage struggles in the
history of this country. Eight days
ago the coal operators in this district
and the miners themselves little
dreamed that within one short week
such an era Of general suspension could
be wrought as now exists in the BIZ
luminous mining industry. On the hill
sides there is an army of $4,000 unem-
ployed, who are anXiously waiting for
more to join the troops Of idlers
The success that has attended the
movement has greatly elated the min
ers, and during the next few days every
effort will be made to bring out the
men in the few mines that are still
working. This will be a difficult task,
but they express confidence in their
ability to make the suspension COM
pIete before the week is forty-eight
hours old.
From the best information obtaina-
BILE, the Pittsburg operators are in no
hurry to have the difficulty adjusted, as
so many Of them had stocks on rail-
road sidings which they held for an
advance. Much of this was disposed of
Saturday at a good profit. One prom
inent operator said today that it would
take another week to determine the
exact state of the market, and by that
time a general cleaning up will have
taken place. All interested will be ready
to begin business on a new basis and
possibly at a higher price.
This whole thing will result in a
compromise" said another prominent
operator. 1.-The operators are in po-
sition to stand it for some time, and I
believe the miners are in about the
same condition. 1t looks as if busi-
ness will brighten up, and in that event
the operators will be able to get better
prices, and the condition of business

Turk Declines to Yield.
But the Powers Are Firm in Op-
posing His Claims.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 11.-Queen
victoria, Emperor William, Emperor
Nicholas, President Faure and King
Humbert have replied to the telegram
received by them from the sultan, and
all give advice similar to that sent by
Emperor Francis Joseph.
Emperor William says in substance
that he regrets his inability to disas-
sociate himself rom the views held bv
the other powers. Replies to the cir
cular of the Turkish government to the
powers relative to the frontier ques-
ton have also been received by the
ambassadors. They all decline to adj
NIT the Turkish pretensions.
The Porte has sent another circular
to the powers, proposing that, in view
of the disturbed conditions existing in
Crete, Turkey send reinforcements to
the island. To this the powers have
also replied, endeavoring to dissuade
the Porte from such a step. This lat
est proposal on the part of the Turk
ish government is held to indicate that
the sultan does not intend to yield in
regard to the frontier question.
LONDON, July 12.-The Times Ber-
lin correspondent says the sultan's tel
egram to Emperor William asked the
emperor ''to consider the representa-
tlons made by the Turkish ambasSa-
dor at the German foreign office and
to support them in the European con-
cert
Emperor William replied that he
would examine these Representations
in friendly spirit" but abstained
from giving any assurance of his aid.

and the condition Of the miner will be
simultaneously improved"
Just now the greatest obstacle in the
Way of success of the miners is the ac-
tiVity of the diggers in the West Vir-
ginia fields. They are working night
and day, and are getting ready to sup
ply all the coal that is needed. They
are repeating what they did three
years ago, when a general suspension
was declared. AT that time there
were number of operators in the
mountain state that were on the verge
OF bankruptcy. The general suSpen-
sion was declared, and there came a
great demand for coal. at prices that
insured big profit The operators
rallied around them large number Of
men, whose friendship and support
they have encouraged ever since The
operators profited by thousands and
thousands of dollars. This is the con-
dition of affairs the organizers that
will go into the West Virginia district
this week will have to encounter. 1t is
argued by the miners that there are
more men out in that section than
there were three years ago. and they
express the greatest confidence in
bringing them out If they can get
their ears. This failing, the railroad
organizations will be appealed to. This
plan of campaign has been outlined by
the natlOnal on1cefS, ana the develop
ments of the week will be watched
with interest.
The miners officials say that the sue
cess of the movement depends on the
action of the West Virginia miners.
They will tell the mountain state dig
gers Of the success in this district, and
every effort will be made to have them
join. There are a number of operators
in the Pittsburg district who have ex-
pressed a willingness to pay the price
demanded, but the miners have said
nay They will insist that a majority
of the operators in the district pay the
69-cent rate or none. This is the ulti
matum of the national officials, from
which there is no appeal. 1t is known
that some of the miners officials would
be glad to let all the operators paying
the 69-cent rate operate their mines,
but cannot owing to the decision OF the
national officials, who desire to have

it is figured that the supply on hand
will last but ninety days. The demand
for coal is also so great that the prices
ruling in the open market today are
nearly double the contract price at
which the coal is delivered. For eX-
ample, coal that has been bought on
