All but One Operator of the Pfttsburg
District Said to Have Agreed to
an Arbitration Plan.
MINERS TO RESUME At 64C
PENDING THE FIXING OF A SCALE
BETWEEN go AND 90 CENTS.
Some of the Reports Denied by Presf-
ton in the Coal Fields.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 31.-The coal strike
is considered settled here The plan is to
resume at ga cents and work pending arbi-
ence of adjustment are President Ratch-
ford. of the United Mine Workers, and the
executive committee of the operators. A
number of the latter were in the city to-
day. and the result is that decision may
be looked for almost any moment The di-
rect effect of this decision will be the open
ing of the mines and the resumption of
work by all the striking miners the begin
ming of the coming week.
An operator here says: The new figure
has been accepted by all but one operator
in the Pittsburg district, and it is under
stood has been approved by President
Ratchford and other members of the ex-
ecutive committee of the United Mine
Workers. 1t is expected that the single
operator still holding out will be finally in
duced to yield, and that the great strike
will thus be brought to a speedy and peace
full Close
Local operators are of the opinion that
the meeting of the national executive board
of the United Mine Workers to be held
in this city tomorrow will result in a settle
ment of the strike. There is no posi-
tive information to this effect, their belief
being based upon the fact that the West
Virginia operators are cutting so deeply in o
the trade of the Pittsburg district that the
operators of the latter field will be forced
to open their mines or lose their markets.
AS the miners officials are absent from the
city nothing is known here regarding the
terms of the proposition to be submitted by
the Pittsburg operators to the national eX-
ecutive board of the United Mine Workers.

Last night the local committee met
in the Office of Attorney w. E. Patter-
son to make plants for the holding of
the Epworth League convention of the
Fourth General Conference District,
which will meet in Wheeling in either
Juneo or July, 1898.
Those present at lat nights meet
ing were Rev. Archibald Moore, the
President; F. N. Giesey, Vice Presi-
dent; VIM. E. Patterson, Secretary;
F. T. Cartwright, Treasurer, and
James Sigafoose, of Moundsville, Cor
responding Secretary. This committee
was appointed at the last convention
of Wheeling district to act as the gen.
eral committee in making all arrange
ments for the holding of the great Ep
worth League convention in this
city next year The Forth General
Conference includes Pennsylvania,
Maryland, West Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia. The convention
is held bi-annually and last met in Har-
risburg, Pa. in 1896. The local COM
mittee has commenced early in order TO
adopt planI that will make the con-
vention a success, for the committee
realizes that it has a large undertake
in. Means were discussed of raising
the money that will be needed for eX-
penses. Not less than $500 or $500
will be required, and probably more.
As none of the Opera Houses or halls
are large enough to accommodate the
audiences that will be expected, the
committee has in contemplation the
plan of holding the meeting under tent
on the State Fair Grounds. 1t is eX-
pected that an audience of five or SIX
thousand people will be present at the
night meetings. The committee Will
rent a tent belonging to the State camp
meeting association. which will hold
.. 800 people and lease another tent in
addition. The convention will be in
session three days. Prominent bishops
of the Methodist Church, leading d.
vines and Epworth League workers
will be here to lead and take part IN
the meetings. Something like 3,OOO
visiting delegates are expected.

The moving Of the university to Las

capital removal bill at all and had not
been thought OF in Santa Fe until q

This information was received by them
with Joy for in it was the key to keep
their double dealing in the dark. Il
would have been an easy matter to
have an amendment tackled on to The
bill trading off the university to which
our people would not have agreed and
in this way afforded the excuse for xii

to the combine, for which they received
their appointments and combinations,

that they had been honestly represent
