STRIKE OF THE COAL MINERS.

Locomotive Engineers HM, Hot
En- er the co1froYersy.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 23.-A call for
an operators meeting that has been
talked about since the movement here for
true uniformity began was not issued,
although a report TO that effect got out.
Commissioners Little, Schmid and Bishop
said tonight they hoped by tomorrow
noon TO have induced the operators to call
meeting. If the meeting is called much
diplomacy will be required TO prevent
broils and recriminations.
There are old sores remaining from the
old uniformity fight OF eighteen months
ago. District President Dolan of the
Miners Union to-day ielegraphed Colonel
Rend at Chicago an appeal TO sign the
uniformity agreement.
The Allison mine employees at Nc
Govern to-day refused to go TO work,
under appeals by strikers 500 strong who
had Camped all night near the mine. =
Hungarian band and 100 strikers still re-
main TO keep the miners who have quit
work from backsliding. They have ordered
big tent from Mcdonald. McGoTern is
not far from CannonsDurg, and the owners
OF the mines at the latter place, J. Y. b.
Cook d Sons, have decided not 10 reopen
their mines. The injunction obtained
from the Washington County courts, the
operators expect, will have the effect OF
returning the strikers TO their homes.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, July 23-P. II.
Arthur, chief OF the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, telegraphed President
Ratchford of the mineworkers tonight
that he could not attend the conference OF
la Dor leaders at Wheeling next Tuesday.
In explanation Arthur says: "As an Or
ganIzation we cannot recognize the
miners, but as individuals we sympathize
with them. The laws OF our organization
do not permit me to attend the meeting.
II should attend il might lead TO mis-
understanding and cause, unlocked for
com plications Their cause is just and
will win"

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 23.-Sen-
ator Jones OF Nevada, chairman of the
Committee on Contingent Expenses,
has submitted the report OF that commit
tee on the resolution introduced By Till
man for an investigation OF the charge of
specuIating in sugar stocks. The report
takes strong position against ordering
the investigation, anu is an exhaustive re-
view OF the procedure Of the Senate in the
past in such matters.
The report takes the position that aside
from the names OF the newspaper men
them selves, only the name of Senator
Smith OF New Jersey IS mentioned in the
newspapers making the charges on which
the resolution was based. The position is
taken that the newspaper men do not
count inasmuch as those gentlemen do
not profess 10 write from knowledge, and
usually, If not always, decline 10 disclose
the sources of their information"
With reference 10 Senator Smith the
re port says: Here is z newspaper charge
msde against a Senator OF the United
States, without any averment Of personal
knowledge on the part OF the writer
and without the slightest particle OF
evidence TO sustain it-not even as much
as would warrant Justice OF the Peace
IN sum monlng witnesses to determine the
truth of a com plant by one citizen against
another with reference 10 the most tTltlng
incident OF everyday life
1t is the bald and naked assertion of
man who does not profess or pretend 10
have any knowledge whatever OF the
alleged fact of which he writes. On the
other hand, We have q definite, explicit
and absolute denial 0. the charge from the
Senator affected-a denial publicly made
from his place in the Senate upon the
responsibility of his position IS Senator
Of the United States"
AS 10 the clause OF the resolution which
claims that ibe brokers in New York knew
in advance what the ccm mittee would re-
port IN regard 10 the schedule in sugar
The com mittee report that they can find
nothing in the clippings from the news
papers presented in support OF the pro-
posed inquiry, nothing b0t indefinite al
lUsions, lasinuatlons, gUesses and infer
ences drawn by CORES spondents from hear
say. statements and hearsay sometimes
several degrees removed. Many of their
expressions indicate the himsiness OF the
foundation on which they have erected

was fought yesterday between Senator
Carey's roundup COW boys and tho Hole
in the Wall" band OF outlaws. in which

Hole in the Wall" band consists OF a
dozen desperate characters, with a rendez-
vous in the Big Hore Mountains, who
have been stealing cattle, rsiding sheep
camps and terroriziag Central Wyoming
for two years
The only stand taken against them has
been by Senator Carey, who last week
sent an armed force OF cattIemen into the
region infested by. the gang to look for
stolen cattle. The roundup was not mo-
Tested until yesterday, when Foreman
De7ile and eigh: cowboys were driving
rome stolen cattle from pasture, where
they had been driven by the thieves.
Here party Of outlaws rode up to them
and opened fire with their rifles. Fore
man Devine and his son were wounded
and their horses killed by the ToIley De.
vine and his cowboys returned the fire
and the shooting became general. The
rustlers retreated, leaving Bob Smith Ia
tally wounded, and Bob Taylor a pri.-
oner in the hands of the cowboys. The
rustlers secured re-enforeements, but
we're afraid to attack and con-
tented themselves with lowering about
the roundup camp out of range. The
cowboys remained in camp over
night and to-day rode into Casper,
bringing the prisoner and leaving the
stolen cattle they had collected. 1t is De-
lieTed the fgat Will cause the dispersion

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, July 23.-The Sec
ond Battalion, Fifth Regiment, y. G. C.,
took its turn at rife practice this morn
ing at Tripe Hill and made splendid
showing. As on Thursday the shoot was
under the direction OF Lieutenant Z. 5.
Heller and Lieutenant a. l. Boriini, ad-
iutant. The battalion was under COM
mand OF Major J. K. Hayes Following
is the score:
Company A. with AZ men, shot--Lying hg.
81; aggregate Of hits. 90; aggregate of points,
349: average mis-, 111s per cent; average oi
Iolnts, s-3 per cent.

aggregate OF hits, 1S7; aggregate of points,

Com uany Il, with SO men, shot-Lying fig
ure, 38; standing figure, 90; kneeling figure,
$50; average of hits, % per cent; average OF

The result shows that Company H Of
of Napa, although not making the best
score according 10 regulation and orders
governing the shoot, made the highest
percentage in hits and points per man.
Calculated upon the basis OF AZ men 10
company, as required by the orders gov
erning the shoot, the percentages OF the
companies are as follows: Company +,

f. 13 $40; Company {, 13 l-100; Company
a, $40; Company D, 8 $40.
Company ID of San Rafael, although
containing the best shots of the regiment,
obtained the lowest percentage because 1t
failed 10 have its best shots IN camp and
was under the additional disadvantage of
being the first company TO shoot.
