This warm feeling for the strikers took a sudden turn last night when the r:rort was circulated that strikers had visited the Troops and Riarck's pts in Coal Hollow, and ordered the few men working there to stop work Those two pits have been supplying coal for the borough electric light plant and for fam fly US, and have only been in operation for few weeks. Thereport reached the lsadros of the strikers here and they branded it as the work of the enemy to injure their cause. This morning they notified Troops and Ria-ck tha. they might mine all the coal they could"
 Simultaneously win the movement on the Westmoreha nd coal mines next week a demonstra ton win be made on the Washington mines in Faye.te county. It was at this point that four striking miners and ten others were injured by deputies two years ago. More than 400 others are organized in Fayette coun-y and are ready to march. A committee from Fayette City will mett Dolan to- night, and if he consents the march will be made. IA point has been selected ewo and a half miles from Stlckle Hollow mines. At this distance the miners hope to avoid injunction proceedings.

Says Josiah Edward Spur, Geo.
 logical Expert, IN THE YUKON GOLD REGION Resume of Observations Made By Him While On Tour Of lnspection-LNing
 Comes High.

Washington Aug. 7.-Ths report on the Yukon gold region by Josiah Edward spurr, the geological gold expert, who headed a party that made a thorough Investigation in Alaska last summer giv- ing new facts about the interior, was made public today. It is most compre- hensive document, and reviews in detail the work tn the various districts. It says as to the Foiiiy Mile gold district that in tho latter part of 1887, Franklin Guldh was struck and the creek is estimated to have produced s4,OOo. Ever since it has b; en a constant payer. The discovery of Davis cree, near Franklin GuDch, followed in 1888. Gold was mined In the interior great impetus in 1892, when Miller Creek was discovered. Gn the spring of 1893 many new claims were staked, and it is estimated that eigth;y men took out s1,- OOO,OOo. Stnce then Miller Creek has been the heaviest producer of the Forty Mile district and until recently of the whole Yukon. It's entire length lies in Brbdxfh possessions. The oulput from 1893, as given by the mint dir.c.o .or for the Alasls- an creeks, an but Miller creek, being in American posseesoins, was $19So0O with a mining population of 196. The total amount produced by the Yukon pGacers in 1894 was double Ghat of the previous year. In 1895 the outpwt had doubled Following is tlle report on the Klondyke district:
 'Witb the announc, m mt of gold he e in the interior in 1S96-S7 there was genuine stampede to the new region. Forty Mile was almost deserted. But $50 men spent the winter on Klondyke, in the gulch s and at the new town of Dawson The more important parts of the district are on Bonanza and Hunker creeks. Accord ing to latest information 400 claims have been located up to Jan. l. 1897, about half as many on Hunker creek There Is plenty of room for many more prospsc- tors and miners for the gulches and

London, Aug. 7.-(special London Cable Letter.)-The close of the session of par lament leaves neither of the political parties in an altogether enviable frame of mind. The latent antagonism of the different schools of ministeriahsts kls threatened mere than once during the past six months to bring about war in the tory camp and the recess leaves con- siderable numbers of conservatives in a state of high indignation and resentment. The unionists liberals claim that the ses- sion has been reactionary.

Pittsburg, Aug. 1.-The strikers are CTS here win join the strikers after sions to their ranks constantly The 150 men employed at Thorns & Roberts coal mine at Elizabeth, refused to go to worx this morning; about seventy-five same locality also struck, Both mines were paying the district rate. The Bu- nola men who were persuaded to come out last evening all remained away from the pit today and no coal was. mined. The company leased the ground where -the strikers located yesterday and busted them, but another field has been secured by the strikers which the owner refused to lease to the company and a perma- nent camp will be established.
 It is reported that an effort will 'be made to start the mine Monday. The strikers are preparing for the struggle and by o'clock Monday morning 1000 men, probably, will be in camp here. This closes down all the mines of the first and second and third pools. Twelve recruits from Plum Creek joined the strikers today, and a number consented to remain at home. When 1t was found that so few men were going to work today at Plum Creek, deputy sheriffs were sent to the houses of the men and they were drummed out and escorted to the mine The company claims that this mine was working full time today and the usual amount of coal was loaded. laThis was pay day at Sandy Creek and when the strikers demanded their pay !. they were told that inasmuch as they had broken the ironclad contract no money whatever was due them. The legality of the contract will be contested in the courts
 On Monday those working in the Plum Creek mine will be paid off and on Mon- day evening another big meeting will be held at Plum Creek. It is said the min CTS there will poin the strikers after Monday No trouble Is anticipated at Plum Creek notwithstanding the prox- unity of the strikers camp to the ne- gro quarters at Unity. The miners and railroad laborers are not expected to af- filiate with each other.

CHANCES OF LONGEVITY.
Primary Conditions Necessary to Long

1.-THE primary conditions Of longev-
ity," the Medical Record quotes Mr..
+. W. Warner as saying, "are that the
heart, lungs and digestive organs, az
well as the brain, should be large. Ii
these organs are large the trunk will
be long and the limbs comparatively
short. The person will appear tall
in sitting and short in standing. The
hand will have long and somewhat
heavy palm and short fingers. Tho
brain will be deeply seated, as shown BY
the orifice OF the ear being low. The
blue hazel or brown hazel eye, us show.
ing an intermission Of temperament
Is q favorable indication. The nostrils
being large, open and free indicates
large lungs. A pinched and half-closed
nostril indicates small or weak lungs.
"In the case of persons who have
shortlived panentage on one side and
long-llved on the other side the ques-
ton becomes more involved. 1t is
shown in grating by hybridizing that
nature makes supreme effort to pass
the period Of the shorter longevity and
extend the life to the greater longevity.
Anyone who understands these weak
md dangerous periods Of life is fore
warned and forarmed. 1t has been OBJ
served that the children OF long-lived
parents mature much later and arc
usually backward in their studies"

WASHINGTON, JAN l4-The asso.
ciated press Is able to positively an.
nounce that Mr.. Mckinley has ten

John Sherman, OF Ohio. and that the
distinguished Buckeye statesman has
accepted and will be the premier OF
the incoming administration. Specu'

member in the cabinet OF the presi.
dent.elect has persislently lowered
about the names of Senator Sher-
man and Hon. Mark Hanna, the
chairman Of the national COM
mittee, the former being mentioned In
connection with the state and treas
ury portfolio and the latter in connec.
ton with the head OF the treasury and
post Office departments. 1t has been
known for some time, however, that
Mr.. Hanna's ambition was a seat in
the United States senate. The retire.
ment OF Ohio's veteran senator to &C.
cept the position OF premier in Mr. Nc
Kinley's cabinet will probably open
the way to qualification of this ambi-
ton. Mr.. Sherman's term as senator
would expire two years hence, March
4, 1899.

appointment by Gov. Bushnell pend

the Sherman and Foraker factions has

Mr.. Hanna TO the vacancy In the sen.
ate when Mr.. Sherman steps out to as.
sumo the grave responsibilities con.
nected with the head OF the depart

Mr.. Sherman will round out brilliant

When the Benton got into favorable

He says that districts with a popula-

famine until the end OF March, and
that 1t may continue In some parts UNI
I'll the end OF June. In other districts,

population varies from 9O2 per square

per square mile in Bhalagat and the
central provinces. There were l,aOO,-
