Mr. Stevenson says the last he saw of
his daughter was the morning of the day
on which she disappeared. He gave her
some money at the hotel. He says she did
not appear at the hotel that night.
ne queer feature OF the case is the great
effort made by Mrs. Stevenson to keep the
matter quiet She called on Chief In
spector Watts once, but gave very little in
FORMATION. She went away saying that il
she decided to have the police go to work
on the case she would call on CHIEF Watts
again. She did not do so.
In an interview Mrs Stevenson intimated
that she could name motive if anything
mad happened to her daughter. Mr. Ste
VenSon declares that he is doing all in his
power to ind his daughter, whom ne dearly
loves, ana says that the insnuatiOnS that
he IS keeping the girl in hiding are absurd.
Il didn't know that my daughter was

first one to tell me. My wife did not come
to me the next day to tell me that Grace
was gone. and the stories printed about me
are rot and l can prove it,"

She never remained away from home in her
life before. Not word has been re-
ceiVed from her since her disappearance
Mrs. Stevenson has viewed several bodies
picked up in the river. but has not identi-
fled any of them. She fears that her daugh-
ter is dead, else she would have heard from
her. The police have taken up the case

PROGRAMME IN CONGRESS.
Deficiency Appropriation Bill to BE
Passed This Week.

WASHINGTON, July n-Beyond the
fact that the general deficiency appropria-
ton bill probably will be passed and that
the Senate will stand ready to take up the
tariff bill at any time that a 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
proposition under consideration by the
leaders of the two sides of the chamber to
adopt the plan now in vogue in the House
for sitting only every 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 general impression about
the Senate is that the House will pass such
a bill on this subject as the President may
recommend, but there is no probability that
the Senate will take the matter up seri-
ously. The desire is to make this intention
clear by infreQuent meetings.
There are, however, some matters on the
executive calendar demanding attention,
and there may be an effort to clear this
calendar off during the week. II such
should prove TO be the case there would be
more or less discussion IN the executive
sessions over the McCOrd, Warner ana Good
now nominations. The friends of the Ha-
waiian anexation treaty on the foreign re-
latiOns committee also hope to be author
lied to report a ratification resolution at
their meeting Wednesday, but it is by no
means certain that the committee will be
able to reach an agreement so soon. Mon
day will be devoted 20 the general deficiency
bill particular attention being given to the
provision for the purchase or armor plate
at $425 per ton. This portion Of the b,ll will
be seriously antagonized and quite fercely
debated. Senator Harris, Of Kansas. WI en-

Railroad during the week, but in this he
will be opposed and ii is not likely to succeed.
The tariff conferees expect to bring in the
tariff bill Thursday. The length of the de-
bate on the report will depend on how we'll
the Senate conferees may have succeeded
in maintaining the integrity of the Senate
bin. The Democratic and other oponents
of the bill make no secret of their inten-
ton TO oppose the adoption Of the report if
it appear that the amendments in which
they were instrumental in securing putting

Effect of sullivan Strike.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE Ind, July 11.--The ac-
ton of the Sullivan county and Grape
creek miners in deciding to, go out makes
the strike more general in this particular
competitive territory than in any former
strike The miners officials now say there
is no chance of mining in Indiana until the
strike is successful or is declared off.
President knight says he has not accepted
the offer of kid" Mccoy for sparring
miners. Moreover he would not accept 1t

knight. Il like good novel and some

President Knight is perhaps the most in

Indiana miners have had. He has not here

strike but now he is hopeful He says the
chances of the miners 100 per cent

ner far exceeding my expectation, he said.
"All we have to do now is to control our
selves and we shall surely win. We must
refrain absolutely from violence. No man
with an iota of sense and who cares for
the cause Of the miners will sanction the
least manifestation of the mob spirit" Mr.
Knight is hopeful on this score. He finds
the men impressed with the fact that they
injure themselves more than any one else
by acts of violence.

SECOND WEEK oF BIG STRIKE.
Promises to he One of Greatest Wage
Struggles in History.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July u.-To-day 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 bHuminous
mining industry Then the mouths OF the
many coal tipples that dot the Mononga-
hela, Youghegeny. Allegheny and Peters
creek valleys and the valleys of Toms and
Ailler's run were open and turning out
thousands and thousands of tons of the best
,oal that enters into the competitive mar
kets of the world. Now all is changed

yards On the hllsides. basking in the

cry railroad track leading to the mines
there stand empty cars, apparently anxious
TO be loaded that their burdens may be
carried TO the ports along the lakes. The
success that has attended the movement
has greatly elated the miners and during

made TO bring out the men in the few
mines that are still working. This VIII be

DENIAL FROM THE DUKE.
Announcement of Mary GOeIet's En-
gagement Was Premature.

NEW YORK, July ia dispatch to the
World from Newport r. L. says: The an
nouncement cabled from London of the en-
gagement of Miss Mary Goelet to the Duke
of Manchester, and the dukes prompt con-
tradiction of the report, have been the top
les of conversation at the cottages and
clubs to-day. 1t appears to be the general
opinion of society here that there was good
foundation for the report, although the an
nouncement undoubtedly was premature
gentleman who has just returned from
the jubilee celebration and who was pres
ent at many Of the large entertainments
in London this season, says the Duke of
Manchester was very attentive to Miss
Goelet, and that he often heard mentioned
in drawing-room chat that an engagement
between the two probably would be an
nounced before the London season ended
A letter from Mrs. Ogden Goelet was re-
ceiVed here Thursday by a close cOnnec-
ton Of the family, and in it was a request
that orders be given Immediately for the
opening of her house. Mrs. Goelet also
stated that she intended to give a big bail
in August. Those who have heard of the
contents of this letter believe that the Goe-
let's will entertain the Duke of Manches ster
this summer, that the ball will be given in
his honor and that if no engagement now
exists. one will be announced before au-
tumn.
Miss Goelet who is worth more than
$4,000 600 in her own right, has rot been
introduced very long. Her first appearance
at any social function of prominence was
at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess
of Marlborough, at which she was a brides

who responded. He said it had been some
time since he had met the miners of Sulll-
van county in mass meeting, but hoped he
would meet them often. He said he was
not empowered with the authority TO en-
force the unorganized men TO strike, but he
hoped that they would realize the serious
condition under which they were forced to
accept the present low wage scale, ANA said
the past had taught him valuable lesson
that sectional strikes were failures, but
the present struggle found things more ia
Vorable to the miners. He said the united
force of labor organizations with
them; also the press, and on every hand
words of encouragement were pouring in,
and he felt confident that victory was as
sured if the miners would stand firm. He
was very particular to caution them against
acts of violence. He said operators We're
citizens Of this Republic and had as good
a right to protection as the miners, and
that the surest way to lose the public
sympathy, something they could not win
without, was by unlawful actions. After
few brief remarks by representative miners
from other points the following resolution
was adopted unanimously:
Resolved, That all miners working in
Sullivan county remain out during the sus-
pension or until advised to resume work by
the mine workers association"
The committee of miners that went to
Star City to consult the miners in regard
to the strike refute the charge circulated
that they were ordered off the companys
property by deputy sheriff. and say they
were treated with due courtesy. Alum
Cave and Jackson Hill will hold a meeting
this evening, and the indications are that
they will organize a local lodge. AN at
tempt will be made tomorrow to organize
locals at Star City. Should one be effected
there it is probable one will also be or
ganized at Shelburn and Currysville, maxi
ing the district solid.
