 PIrrsBURG. July 1.-The exact sit uat,on as to the miners strike may be thus summed up: During the last three weeks there has Lsen SO much talk of miners wanting to sirike that st a meeting of the national executive board of the United Mine WorKers' Union at Columbus last week. It was decided to order one in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and West Vir- glnia, but the order to suspend work has not yet been sent out A conven- ton of the Pittsburg district was today called for Saturday It is thought that the miners almost unaDi- mously will vote for a general sus- pension. Meantime word will be sent out to the miners cf Illinois, Indiana and West Virginia and they will fol- low the lead of the men of this district. The suspension is to date from Mon day.
 JOLIET. H., July l.-W D. Ryan. state secretary of the Illinois Miners association. today issued notice that all work in the Illinois fields will be stopped at once and national suspen- sion is certainty. The miners in the Wilmington field stepped work to-day. Under the present scale they claim they can make but 9 cents an hour. The strike will affect 10000 Illinois miners.

The news from Saginaw is to the effect that all the developments are most Hattering. Especially on the Dakota the bodies of ore continue large and the grade keeps up to it's rich standard.

 J. w. ,Benham, who is in charge of the canaigre digging crew in Maricopa county. tells the PhoeLix Gazette that thls plant. the roots of which possess such remarkable tanning qualities, is nothing mere than wild rhubarb. and that the stalks are used as an article "f food by the employees. It would take an expert to distinguish the diff ference between rhnbarb and the canaigre when served. The only diff ference is that the wild article is tougher and more stringy than rhubarb and not quite as nutritious.
 A new strike in an extension of the famous Commonwealth mine at Pearee is one of the mining sensations of the week. The owners of the mine are SD elated they are afraid to disclose the real value of the ore discovered until they have made further explora- tions. The ore body was struck upon reaching the footwall of the vein, and is of the same appearance and appar- ant quality as that found in the great bullion producer of the camp. Every indication points to it's being con tinuation of the same ore body and on the same ven which gave the camp it's fame and has proven such won- derful producer. The owners promise full particulars as soon as the extent of the ore body is known, but do not care to create any false excitement as the result of over enthusiasm. Tomb stone Prospector.

How Parcels Sent to Fictitious Adj
dresses Are Treated.


dresses Are Treated,
Third Assistant Postmaster General Mer-
ritt has :his to say in regard to registered
mail to fictitious addresses:
Certain concerns. in the effort to extend
their business. have been sending regis
tered parcels containing their goods to the
smaller post offices throughout the coun-
try. These parcels are invariably addressed
to fictitious person, or to one who does
not live at the post office addressed The
serders then write to the postmaster, in
forming him that mistake has been made
in address. or some other plausible excuse.
and request that he will examine the con-
tents Of the parcel, with a view to their
purchase or sale, at greatly reduced
price. rather than TO return them
Section lib of the regulations plainly
forbids the delivery of registered mail TO
any one but the person to whom it is ad-
dressed without a written order from the
addressee, which must be verified and filed
in the post office as voucher. Therefore
until a registered parcel has been deliy-
cred in this manner and properly receipted
for, neither the postmaster nor any one
else has the right to inspect the contents
with the object of purchasing them
In every such case, unless the parcel
can be delivered and receipted for as here
in indicated, ii should be returned to the
office given in the sender's address, in
dorsed with the reason for its non-delivery,
and with the amount of postage due for
returning. If any, as directed in section
1126 of the Postal Regulations"

Numerous complaints have been received
by the Post Office Department relative to

the result of using a poor quality of en-
velopes covering the registered matter
Postmaster General Gary has ordered that
postmasters should require stronger en-
velopes when the letters presented at reg
istry windows contain coin or bulky mat
ter than would be demanded If the in
closures were apparently of such a char
acter as not to severely test the quality of
the envelopes.
A section of the postal laws and rexuIa-
tions has been amended SO as to read now:
"Postmasters, before receiving matter for
registration, must require the sender to
have it fully, legibly and correctly address,
ed, the name and address Of the sender in
dorsed upon 1t, and, if letters, all the con-
tents placed in a firmly sealed envelope

sary stamps to pay postage and fee. Post
masters and their employees are forbidden
to address the matter, place the contents in
the envelope seal 1t, or affix the stamps.
Third and fourth-class matter for reg.stra-
tion must also be marked third class or
fourth class as the case may be, and be so
wrapped as to safely bear transportation
and easily admit Of examination, which the
postmaster should make before register

THE TREASURY VAULTS.
Only Twelve to he Allowed in n Visit
ing Party Hereafter.

United States Treasurer Roberts has
changed the rules regarding visits to the
vaults and other mysterious places in the
basement of the Treasury Department.
Heretofore any number of visitors have
been piloted through the vaults at one
time by a Treasury messenger. Since
Treasurer Roberts came in as many as
seventy-two have been taken through in
one squad. Mr.. Roberts did not like this
and has issued orders allowing only twelve
persons at one time to make the journey.
This is taken as a precaution against theft
and against too minute examination of
the interior arrangement of the vaults and
corridors. A messenger can keep an eye
on twelve people, but cannot on large
number.
Too large a number of people also block
the corridors and make the hauling Of
money backward and forward inconvenient
and dangerous.
A number of years ago crook succeeded
In getting among a large number OF Wis
itors being piloted through the vaults. He
stole a package of bills. The theft was at
once discovered and the denomination and
number of the bills telegraphed all over the
country In a short time one of the bills
made it's appearance. Then the thief was
captured and the money secured.

English Fleet Sails for Philadelphia
In Ballast.
PHILADELPHIA, August 1.-THE Rec
ord today says:
The largest fleet of vessels that ever left
England in ballast has sailed within the
last week for the Delaware breakw4ter
and Halnpton Roads for orders. Their own
ers have found 1t more profitable to send
them without cargoes than to have them
wait for one.
The machinery of some Of them is rather
antiquated, but the demand for steam
tonnage has induced their owners to give
them another trial in competing with the
more modern craft. Several vessels ar
rived at the Delaware breakwater yester-
day from Europe in search of business.
Large purchases of grain have been made
in this country by Italy. Austria, France
and Egypt, countries which rarely before
have purchased cereals in the United
States. Several charters have been effect
ed at this port to carry grain to Mar
seilles, Genoa, Trieste and Alexandria and
other Mediterranean ports.
