California Wants a WhIrI.

BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug, 6 A large delegation of Californians arrived here Tuesday night. They have come with two-fold purpose, that of discharginp their duty as delegates to the G. A. R. encampment, and to boom San Fran cisco as the place of holding the next encampment, or that of 1899.
 Should Cincinnati get the encamp- ment for 9S. and everything now points that way, knowing, as they do, that Philadelphia will ask for it for 1900, the Californians feel that they can capture it for the extreme west for '99. If ever. There is possibility of the encampment being given them this year, as Cincinnati has no other opponent in the field, and the fight for place and the commander-in-ch oh iefship may lose the fight for the former to the Buckeye state

 Once clear from this arch the presi- dent saw before him a great living shield, and caught the music of 2, 900 young voices, lifted up in the national athem. As the columns moved on nearer and nearer the shield the first platoons wheeling up Delaware avenue. the human sym patny that had been pent up for an hour of waiting, broke out in one tumultuous climax of enthusiasm. At the large grand stand erected by the friends of the Fresh Air Mission for the benefit of charity, on Delaware avenue, near the shield, hundreds of spectators waited from an early hour. The bands, President Me kinley and the marching men came closer and closer. the children of the shield sang, and men and women, boys and girls, young and old. rose and waved and cheered for the c. A.

Still Striving for West Virginia.

WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. 26.-The organizers have begun active work in this state again. At Fairmont another camp has been established. and the marching from camp to camp will be- gin and continue till the courts stop it. In the kanawha and New River valley the marchers will avoid going near the mines in bod les, but will scatter among the miners homes. Ratchford sent a tele- gram from Pittsburgh to the leaders in the principal West Virginia fields to keep up the fight, till after the St. Louis conference at least, and that there will be big increase in the force of the agitators here this week. There has been slight falling off in coal production the past few days, be- cause more was being mined than the market demanded

 The West Virginia Campaign.
Marching Suspended by Bad Roads.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, Aug. 26.-No march ing was done by the striking miners in the De Armitt coal region during the night or early morning. The roads are in very bad shape from the recent rains, and the men remained inside the lines of the camp, or quietly sauntered out in small groups and continued their missionary work among the miners.
 The campers are much encouraged with their attempts at prosely ting, and will continue the work during the af- ternoon and early evening of each day. They claim to have induced ten men to quit work at Oak Hill, and that many more will follow. The campers be- lieve that after the men have received their pay they will join the strikers.
 At Plum Creek the strikers seem to be losing ground every day. The com pany told every man who did not go to work at once could not go to work hereafter, They say this rule will be enforced. A few men who have been prominent in trying to induce miners to strike applied for work, but were refused
 
 The De Armitts made a statement regarding the Plum Creek miners. They say that on August IS. S1 pit cars were taken out. Since then the out put has increased 50 cars daily, and that last Monday 400 pit cars were talk en out. The capacity is 600 cars. It IS said the De Armitt company has held back in wages due at the three mines about 5000
 The company claims that the reason the output of coal has been so small with so many men at work was be- cause many of the men simply went in the mines to keep their jobs not work ing any more than they had to. Now, the company says, they are all work ing hard.
 The colored railroad laborers camp at Unity, across the road from the strikers camp at Plum Creek, has been in turmoil for the past 21 hours. It was pay day Tuesday, and trouble started as soon as the men got their money. During the night three more colored men were shot, but none will die. Thomas Cash, who murdered John Kelly on Sunday, has not yet been cap tured. An armed force is still SCOUT inc the woods for hin,

The Bimetallic Commission.

Says the New York Journal: 1t is
greatly to be hoped that the report,
now widely current, that Comptroller
Eckels is to be appointed a1pecial COM
missioner of the United States to ar
range for the proposed International
Bimetallic Conference is Incorrect.
Mr. Eekels is one of the most extreme
advocates of the single gold standard,
and-remeiBbering his youth-it is not
unfair to say that he is not the best
equipped defender of even the position
which he now holds. We do not re-
call that he figured in the Brussels
Conference, or, indeed, that he has
any actual acquaintance with Europe
an financiers, whether they be mono
metallists or bimetallists.
All this, however, might be ignored
but for the fact that Mr.. Eckels has
wisely or unwisely. so identified him
self with the banks and the political
anti-bimetallic forces that his commits
sion TO arrange an International bimet-
allie conference would, in great part
of the country, be regarded as a proof
positive that the conference was in
tended for delusion and a snare.
We don't thoroughly believe that
President Mckinley intends to create
any such impression.
