Pittsburg Operators SO Agree
strikers Position High-Hnnded.

CLEVELAND. o.. August 1.-THE
operators OF the Pennsylvania coal
mines held a conference in this city to-
day, and determined that the mines in
the Plttsburg District should be started
and operated without further delay, on
the ground that the miners have taken
high-handed position; that nothing but
a universal price-list will satisfy their
demand and that they have been unwil-
ing TO treat with the operators: also.
that there IS no other course left open
TO the operators at this time.
II was also determined that all coal
sold on the 5l-cent basis must be mined
at that price. No change in the price
OF mining will be considered until the
contracts made at the 5i-cent basis are
filled.
At least three-fourths Of the Pittsburg
District operators were represented, and
all are unanimous and agreed. II neces-
sary. 10 resume operations. with the ex

Two of Them Presented for Re
Jcmption-BrocLw Handiwork.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., August H.
There were presented to the Treasury De
partment to-day for redemption two N,00)
7-3O notes Of the issue Of June Is. 1865.
The persons making the presentation
were businessmen of Louisville, KY
I-pon examination, the notes were found
10 be counterfeits. being part Of
very large issue OF counterfeit notes
which appeared in the principal bond
markets I'M 1865 and 1851 The imitation
of the genuine is so complete that many
of the principal dealers i'm United States
securities purchased them freely. and only
discovered that they had been victimized
when the notes were thrown out by the
authorities at Washington. The loss to
bankers and dealers through this counter
felt amounted to probably several hun
dred thousand dollars.
The only marked difference between
the original and counterfeit is found in
tho red seal. the points surrounding the
seal I'm the genuine being broader, more
clearly defined. and not so long. There
ie also a mistake as 10 the Treasurer Of
the United States, at the time Of the is
sue of the original notes In the genuine
note there is also "A small spot just below
tho bar between the baskets of the bal
ance which the figure OF America holds

At the secret service office it is said
that the plate from which these notes
were printed was captured November y.
1861 from William T. Brockway, who
