If Mondays being observed In many
places as national holiday VIII naturally
retard their reports. The reports received
are OF a general nature, ana 10 the ct-
feet that the miners have generally sus-
pended work, and that the strike promises
TO bC a success.
The success Of the whole movement
seems TO devolve upon the men In the
Pittsburg District, and judging from the
latest advices received from that teld'
the miners there propose to DO tneir
part. SO far as can be learned. the ope-
rators In both the Plttsburg and Ohio ois-
tricts do not intend to put forth any ei-
fort to start their mines. but have con
Guided to quietly close down ana await
Developments. At least II will require
several days for the operators to deter
mine upon what course to pursue.
President Rathford said he had been
astonished at the great number OF tele-
grams received from operators requesting
permission to operate their mines by pay
ing the price demanded by the miners
These requests could not be granted. Tor
the reason that to do so would be TO
defeat the very object which the strike Is
intended TO accomplish. The Ohio ope-
rators will be governed in their course
entirely by the action of the PittsburS
operators If the latter agree to an ad-
vance in the price. the Ohio operators VIII
not object. but will readily pay the ad-
vance. AS a matter Of fact, II Is under
stood that they would rather pay
higher price and continue the operation
of their mines. The regular meeting OF
the Ohio Coal Association will be held IN
Detroit tomorrow. but it Is hardly prop
able that any action will be taken IN re-
gard TO the strike, further than mas al
ready been decided upon, and that IS

District.
The miners throughout Ohio generally
observed Monday as a holiday, and 1t can
not be determined until tomorrow 20
what extent the order for suspension VIII
be observed 1t Is generally conceded'
however, that the strike will be generaiiy
enforced in this State.

PURSUED BY HARD LUCK.
Smallpox-Strfcken Alice A. Leigh
Stunned by Tugs, While
Facing Zine.

Special Dispatch TO the Observation-Disclosures.
VICTORIA, Il. c., April l3.-The skip
per of the big four-masted bark Alice A
Leigh. which arrived from Shanghai Sum
day. is in the unhappy position oil facing
a dilemma, and yet more unluckily his
trouble. instead OF ending when the anchor
was dropped. seems to be multiplying
hourly.
His passage across occupied forty-four
days, and during that period two OF the
crew died of smallpox and three others
were stricken with the disease in its most
yirulent form.
The American tug Tacoma picked the
bark up OF the Cape and brought her to
Royal roads. then hurried away before
the quarantine officials could fumigate her
for the protection OF the American ports
which she will visit.
Last night i've others OF the crew were
reporte- down with the plague, and DR..
Watt ordered the vessel to quarantine.
where the crew could be properly at
tended.
Then the difficulty presented itself. To
tow her to William head would render the
steamer performing the service liable TO
fortnight's detention, and each tug APP
piled to accordingly demanded $500 for
making the two-mile tow.
Unable to obtain word from the owners,
the captain declared IL impossible TO COM
ply, and as he wished TO obey quarantine
orders this afternoon he made an attempt,
though Intellectual. to have the vessel
towed with rowboats. the men at the oars
seeming themselves candidates more ut
for the hospital than for duty.
Then. TO add to his burdens, the captain
received forma- worning that unless he
was at William head tomorrow a $500 fine
would be imposed. Untl II o'clock tonight
he was In the darkest quandary, with a
new difficulty presenting itself in a rising
wind. which made his position not Of the
best.
The steamer Sadie then came to the res
cue. and at daylight tomorrow she will
take the plague ship in tow, herself in the
hands OF an extra crew. who will as soon
as they have performed the service. go
into the hospital The ship viii be thor
oughly fumigated and returned to the
owners.
