READY TO OPEN MINES.
Arrangements Perfected for Working
with Imported Men.


with Imported Men.
Coal operators OF the Pittsburg district
have decided to start several mines along
the Wheeling division of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. The preliminaries
have all been completed. One of the first
moves was to get in touch with the rail-
road companies The officials of the rail
roads at once agreed to cooperate with
the operators in bringing about, if possi-
BILE, an era of activity in the coal-pro-
ducing industry of the Pittsburg district.
1t was made very apparent that the rail
roads We're losing a large amount of bust
ness and that they were fellow sufferers
with the coal operators. The question
of the expense of getting imported labor
into the district was discussed, and the
railroad companies agreed to share their
portion of the outlay.
After this agreement was made the
work of hiring imported labor was taken
charge Of by a special subcommittee. Just
when they will be brought iuto the dis
trict could net be learned. One of the
principal reasons for selecting the Wheel
ing division of the Baltimore and Ohio
is the fact that men can be brought IN
ard unloaded in close proximity to the pit
mouths.
Another reason advanced is the fact
that the mines along this road have been
supplying coal for the locomotives of the
railroad, and if coal is not furnished Unit
ed States mail trains could not be run and
the wheels of the national government
would be interfered with. Protection
would be forthcoming with no cost impos
ed on the operators, as the Government
would be bound to protect and maintain
its property at its own expense. These
plans have all been completed and the
work is we'll under way

The assassination of President Idiarte
Borda of Uruguay was not altogether
surprise to officials in Washington who
have watched the recent outbreaks in
Uruguay. This was the second attempt
on the presidents life, the former being
made April p last by a crazy student
named Revecca.
The last issue Of the Monteyideo Times,
received in Washington, states that the
president remained away from the state
house in evident fear of his life. At the
time junta of those seeking to overthrow
the government had established active
operations at the capitol The assassina-

the country to a revolutionary crisis,

There is no Uruguayan representative in
Washington.
At the time Of Senior Borda's election
he belonged to the official party, and was
elected by narrow majority. The peo-
pie, it was said, were sadly disappointed
at the result, but order and quiet was
maintained. The leading papers Of Uru-
quay deplored the election of Senior Borda
and declared that it marked reaction in
the country's progress.

In the afternoon, after conference OF
some of the leading shippers to the lakes,
another statement was given out by OPP
orator J. G. Dysart. 1t contained the in
formation that another committee mad
been appointed to continue the work OF
getting the mines in operation, which had
been started last week in Cleveland. AS

that all committees had been discharged

At the forenoon meeting some of the

mile rarch. Two hundred young women
scattered along the route, attired in gowns
OF red, white and blue, scattered flowers
before his carriage. When the President.
standing on the reviewing stand. caught
sight OF the tattered war flags of the
armies of Illinois he put down his hat and
! clapped his hands, exploding demonstra-
ton which rolled down the line like the
booming Of cannon.
The whole route was over smooth os-
phalt payements, the first march of the
KIND, Gen. Alger said, he had ever he
held. The Presidents reviewing stand
was at the intersection of North street
and Richmond avenue. Approaching the
stand the army moved west in North
street. Double rows of trees. whose
branches met overhead, made a green
canopy above the last half-mile of the
march. 1t looked as if the army was com
ing out Of a fairy-book forest. To the
west, the situation was the same. The
foliage heightened the colors of the flut-
terlng nags as the army wound past the
stand.
Railroad officials say that 10000 is a

parade were kept we'll in hand.
Receptions of the Evening.
Despite the fact that President McKin-
ley was exceedingly weary, he met the
local committee at night just after din
ner, and accompanied by Gov. Black,
went to Music Hall to meet the general
public. The strain of the day was, how
ever, too much for flesh and blood, and
after he had greeted about 5000 persons
individually he was compelled to leave the
hall. Fully 10000 persons blocked the
streets in the vicinity Of the hall and ex-
pressed their disappointment at not being
permitted to shake the Presidents hand.
Leaving Music Hall, the President was
driven to the Buffalo Club, where he re-
ceived the Loyal Legion. At 1O:45 he
went to the Niagara Hotel for the night

SHORTAGE IN EUROPE.
Cereal and Potato Crops Are Small

Cereal and Potato Crops Are Small
and the Situation Is Grave.
An extensive inquiry into European
crop conditions conducted by the Orange
Judd syndicate of agricultural papers in
dicates that the food crop situation abrc I'd
is very grave. Estimates Of the needs Of
wheat imports for Europe, including Eng
land, range all the way from 3O0,0OO,0 900
to 4O0,00O,O0O bushels. Europe's wheat
crops for 1895, 1894 and 1893 averaged
about ], 800, 100000 bushels. In the fam
inc year Of 1891 it was only 100000, 900.
The impression is gaining ground that Eu-
ropes wheat crop this year is even less
than in 1891. But this is not the worst
of it. Europe usually produces as much
rye as she does wheat. It is the bread
grain Of the masses. The rye crop of the
principal European countries RUSSIA,
Germany, France, Austria, Bulgaria,
Roumania and Italy and the low countries
and Sweden) has averaged about 1,3OO,-
100000 bushels annually for 1896, 1895,
1894 and 1893. This season the rye crop

FARMERS INCREASED RECEIPTS

thau Last Year.
Assistant Secretary Brigham of the Ag
ricultural Department has expressed the
opinion that the American farmers this
year would receive in the aggregate from
$40O,O00,000 to $5O0,00O,00O in excess of
the amount received last year for their
farm products.
Col. Brigham also predicted that the
increase in the price of farm products
would benefit the laboring element. ''The
price of labor" he said, ''did not decline
with the price of farm products, and for
some time the farmer was forced to pay
as much for the services of those who did
his work as ever, while his receipts were
cut in two. Inasmuch as wages did not
decline, | see no reason why they should
be expected to rise to correspond with the
advance of farm products, which are now
bringing only fair prices. Still, the labor
ing man will be benefited by this advance
in prices. The farmer will discharge his
Indebtedness and make improvements
which will require labor. He will pur
chase more Of the products of labor, put
ting vest amount Of money in circula-
ton, and this will create a demand for Ia
Dor in all lines, and men who have been
without employment, or only partially en-
ployed, will work full time at fair wages"

Tortured by Bees.

An unusual and tragic accident occur
red ON the farm Of William Barfknecht,
near Red river. Mr.. Barfknecht's son,
Herman, was blowing near the orchard,
when bees stung the horses. The boy was
unable to hold the animals and they start
ed for the barn, running among the bee
hives and tumbling four or five of them
over. The horses became entangled in
a tree and had to withstand the awful
torture of thousands of bees singing
them. Mr.. Barfknecht heroically under
took to relieve the horses, but he was
compelled to retreat by the bees and obllg-
ed to go to the house for more clothing
to protect himself from the venomous
stings of the enraged little creatures. Dur
ing his absence the horses kicked hive
completely to pieces. Mr.. Barfknecht
then managed to disentangle the horses
and led them away. One of the horses
died in the yard, while the other lived
until it got into the barn. Mr.. Barfknecht
lost consciousness and had to be carried
into the house.

Saved Paying lis Taxes.

1t is only on rare occasions that a
homesteader proves up in the land office
who has lived on his claim eight years, as
was the case with Ignatius Kristal Of
Gable, who made final proof in Ashland
the other day. Nearly all of the home
steaders in that region live on their land
fourteen months and then prove up under
the committed homestead act by making
cash payment When one is found who
intends making his permanent home on
his claim then he usually delays making
the final proofs as long as possible. Kris
tai went on his land eight years ago and
took advantage of the full limit, allowed
by law before making final proof. Sew
eral advantages are gained in this way.
One is that Kristal has had the use of
the land for eight years, raising crops
regularly, and yet has never been obliged
to pay one cent in taxes, as the title has
been in the Government ever since he
made entry. Now that he has made final
proof the title of the land will be in his
name and hereafter it will be assessed
and taxed
