The wheat crop Of Australasia for the
coming harvest II 70 short according to
estimates reported to TIE state dt part
ment by Consul Bell al sydney, that il
will reduce that country from hcr posi-
ton as sixth wheatexporting country Of
the globe to about the eleventh wheat
importing country. Instead oi being an
exporter Of about II, 600, 600 bushels per
year, Australaaa will have to import
not far from 5000, 900 bushels to sup
ply the deficiency for short crops. This
will be of considerable benefit to Amer
ica, for not only will the United States
supply the chief part of the deficiency,
but she will also make good large part
Of the worlds deficiency caused by the
loss Of Australasia crop. With fail
ure in India and short crop through

That on Screens To he Used Against De
Armitt-Another Raid.
Pittsburg July 26.-Instead Of march,
ing on the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal company's mines. as first de-
termined on by the miners. the execu-
tive board at a special meeting has de-
cided to make a legal test of the new
state mining law. 1t is claimed that
De Armitt's miners are being worked
in violation of this law, and suits will
be entered and pushed with unusual
vigor. According to the new law if an
operator does not have his coal weighed
before it goes over a screen he is guilty
of a misdemeanor and subject to fine
of not less than 800, nor more than
$500, or Imprisonment not to exceed
ninety days, or both at the discretion of
the court for each offense. De Armitt
says that law is unconstitutional.
Pittsburg, July 26.-Sixty deputy sher-
ifs have been ordered out. Their desig-
nation has been kept a profound secret,
but it is supposed they are to be sent
to the mines of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company in antic-
ipation Of any raid that may be made.
AS the strikers officials declare that the
contempla ted march has been abandoned
no conflict is expected. Another search
on Canonsburg was begun last night. A
big meeting Of miners was held at Reiss-
ing at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
They were informed that the Allison
mine intended to resume work yesterday
morning. and in a very. short time it
was decided to make another tramp
across the country and reinforce the 100
strikers that have been on guard. They
will remain until tomorrow morning.
There was a great hurrying to ard fro
| in all the mining settlements in that Sec
ton before the sun went down. Women
have been among the most active agi-
| tators.

Arctic Gold Fields.
Washington. July 26.-Recognizing the
Importance of the recent gold discov-
cries in Alaska and adjoining territory,
and in obedience to the widespread de-
mand for authentic information in re-
gard thereto. the commissioner OF labor
has detailed from his regular force an
expert, thoroughly familiar with all the
features of gold mining. to proceed i'm
mediately to the Klondyke for the pur-
pose of making a careful and exhaustive
study of the conditions as they exist
there. 1t is the intention of the COM
missioner to embody the facts in a spe-
cial report or bulletin Of the depart
ment, which will appear at as early a
date as possible.
This is a subject Of absorbing interest
to all classes. and in making this in
vestigation the commissioner feels that
he is working in the interest of the I'M
employed. Such a report as that con-
templated giving the unbiased facts al
to the opportunities for the investment
of capital and the employment of labor,
wages. cost of living. etc. he believes

this country.

San Francisco. July 2e.-The desire OF
the gold struck throng to reach the dig
gings in the Klondyke district resembles
for all the world the craze OF westerners
and the land OF gold" There is little
or no method in this longing Of the
masses to reach the Eldorado in the
great unknown territory of the north
west. People who have had no expert
ence in mining, or have undergone none
of the hardships incident to such a jour-
ney as will follow a trip to the Yukon
country. are clamoring for passage and
straining every nerve to secure funds
necessary on which to make the trip.
Many are making sacrifices in order to
visit the land that promises so much
Every steamship office in this city is
literally overrun with people seeking
information concerning the Klondyke
country. Those who have the money do
rot hesitate to pay for the passage,
trusting in many instances to good luck
to give them food on which to subsist
during the coming winter.
Taking Any Risk tn Get There.
The Excelsior which leaves on
Wednesday next has a full passenger
list. but big bonuses are being offered
every day for berth on the vessel
The steamer Umatilla left yesterday
morning for the north with go passen-
gers and full cargo of provisions. She
goes to Port Townsend. where she con-
meets with the City of Topeka, sailing
direct to Juneau. The owners of the
Umatilia have applied for permission to
of hulls and boilers for permission to
carry all the passengers that the YES
sells owned by the company will hold.
The Topeka, which is scheduled to leave
Seattle early next week, has already
more passengers than is Permitted by
law. The same is true of the George w.
Elder, which is scheduled TO leav.. july
80. The people at Seattle are begging
the steamship officers to provide them
with transportation.
will BE Full to the Limit.
The steamer Cleveland, chartered as
an extra vessel by the Northwestern
Trading company, sailed late Saturday
night for Seattle where she will discharge
part of her cargo and take supplies and
passengers for Alaska. About half of
her passengers list from this city Is
booked for Alaska. and she will he fun
to the limit leaving Seattle fer the north.
1t is probable that she will carry 800
passengers. More people are anxious to
go to Alaska ard the yukon country
the present time. 1t IL believed by many
that the vessels now fitting at San Fran
cisco and destined for Dawson City by
way Of st. Michaels will never reach the
former place. The river begins to freeze
about Sept. 10. and it is not possible for
vessels leaving San Francisco after Au-
gust to reach Dawson City for at least
five or six days after the extreme cold
has set in.

Kansas Miners Refuse to Strike, but VIII
Not Dig Coal for the East.
Pittsburg. July 26.-The delegate con-
vention representing southeastern Kan
sas coal miners, in secret session here
Saturday adopted resolutions indorsinS
the eastern strike, but decided by an
overwhelming majority against a SYM
pathetic strike. Organizers T. B. Nc
Gregor. presenting credentials from
Secretary Ryan, of the United Mine
Workers OF Illinois, was refused ad-
mittance to the meeting.
A leading labor man who has been
national president of one of the greatest
organizations in the United States said
yesterday: The operators must not
think they can smuggle coal out of
Kansas to go into strike territory. 1t
is one of the doctrines of organized Ia
Dor that whenever one set men COM
mence to do work that is to the injury
of organized labor the work becomes
scab work. The miners of southern
Kansas are union men. AS long as they
mine ccal for Kansas and territory
which they have been accustomed to
supply they are occupying neutral
ground, and are not interfering. When
they mine coal to be used in territory
usually supplied by miners who are
striking they become in the eyes of or
ganized labor what We call Scabs.
Coal is non-union coal as soon
as it gets into strike territory"
