Columbus, o., July 6.-Telegrams re-
ceived by President Ratchford, Of the
United Mine Workers, indicate that the
order for a general strike Of the miners
has been complied with generally
throughout the mining districts of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and western Pennsyl-
vania, and In sections of West Virginia
and Kentucky. 1t will take several
days, however, TO determine with any
degree Of accurateness the number of
men involved. Ratchford roughly esti-
mates the number at 2OO,OOO but this is
regarded as very liberal. He is pleased
with the unanimity shown by the min
ers, and says that he has the greatest
confidence In the successful outcome of
the strike. He thinks the prospects are
better han In 1894 when a general strike
was inaugurated. At that time the
scale OF prices was being paid i'm many
mining localities, notably West Virginia,
where a majority Of the miners con-
tinued at work and thereby greatly weak

Join the strike He thinks the block
men will strike from the fact that those
at the meeting Saturday were repre-
sentative men from every part OF the
county. II is not yet known how many
miners i'm the state have Joined In the
strike. Those who were at work Sat-
day left their tools i'm the mines when
they quit work In the evening.
President Knight says the present
strike is little else than fight against
starvation. zone miner in the northern
part OF our field told me-" said Knight,
that he had drawn $3.50 for the past
two months work. He had four pay
days in that time. His highest was 81. so

this amount he was forced to try to
keep himself and his family from hun

do it?"
Knight says the Columbus report to
the effect that $4,000 will be involved in
the strike is a gross eXaggeration. Helm
Inmates that the total number Of miners
who will be idle will be between 10000

Washington, July 6.-The outlook for
/ the week in the senate is quite uncer-
| tain. There is every probability that
| the tariff bill will be passed, but whether
| early or late in the week is by no means
! certain. The various provisions for a
| stamp tax, for a beet sugar bounty and
! for the suppression of trusts threaten to
| develop considerable debate, and there
| is a prospect of general speeches by
! Bate. Chiffon, Allen and others. Alli-
son has given notice of an effort to Sc
cure night sessions today or tomorrow
| The present indications are that there
will be a determined effort to force the
committee on finance to restore the
sugar bounty provision, and upon the
success or failure of this effort probably
| will largely depend the length Of time
yet to be consumed in the senate
The Republican members of the sem
ate committee on finance held a session
yesterday and decided to offer no more
amendments to the tariff bill, and also
not to reintroduce the beet sugar amend
ment. 1t is understood, however, that
the committee will make no united or
determined effort to prevent the ac-
ceptance of the amendment as offered
| by Allen, but that Republican senators
will be left free to support 1t or not as
they may see fit. The indications now
are that a majority of them will sup
port the amendment, Notwithstanding
the committees action in Withdrawing
1t. 1t appears that the bounty provision
was authorized by one of the Republic
an caucuses, and that many Republican
senator's feel bound on this account to
stand by the provision, even though 1t
be offered by the opposition. The Dem
ocrats, however, will oppose the amend
ment determinedly. The situation is full
Of many possibilities and the end can
not be predicted until this question Is

ened the strike. He has hopes that the
West Virginia miners may now be
brought into line, inasmuch as they are
receiving wages far below the scale and
their condition is not any better than
that of the miners in other states.
Has Hopes of West Virginia.
The coal production of West Virginia
has increased so rapidly in the last few
years that the output of that state now
exceeds the output of Ohio. During the
strike OF 1894 trouble was caused by
the shipment OF West Virginia coal
through Ohio, the Ohio miners en-
deavoring to stop this traffic. The rail-
road companies promptly appealed to
the state for protection and almost the
entire Ohio National Guard was placed
In the field. Ratchford does not believe
there will be any repetition of these trou-
bles i'm the present strike. Special eff
forts are to be made to enlist the SYM
pathy Of the Virginia miners. Ratch-
ford is encouraged to believe that this
may be accomplished by the fact that
the miners have signified their intention
to strike in many places where efforts
to enlist their cooperation have failed
on previous occasions.
1t Must he All or None.
Ratchford has received kilograms from
a number of Pittsburg operators asking
permission to operate their mines at
scale prices. These requests are all
emphatically refused, as it would work
an injustice not only to other operators
but their miners as well. AS to the
probable duration of the strike, Ratch-
ford says that will be governed entirely

weeks at least. The miners are in bet
ter position to Withstand a long strike
at this time, as a great many of them
have garden product on which to sub
sist and there will be no great hard
ships entailed. such as would follow a
strike in the winter.
Where the Shoe VIII Pinch.
The fact that there is fair supply OF
coal in stock and the demand for do
mostic consumption is small will have
tendency to prolong the suspension.
The contracts for coal for lake shipment
will cause the greatest trouble. The
bulk of these contracts are held by
Pittsburg operators. but the Ohio opera
tors have not yet held a conference to
consider the matter. but are considera-
bly, worried. While they say the strike
Is ll-tmeu anu likely 10 HIZle out
they will close down their mines for a
short time. at least until they can de-
termine how general the suspension is.
A partial suspension only in the Pitts
burg district would be rulnous to their
business, should the Ohio miners refuse
