Charleston. W. Va, July 29.-President
Ratchford of the United Mine Workers,
President Gompers of the American
Federation Of Labor, and General Master
Workman Sovereign of the Knights of
Labor have arrived here and have called
on Governor Atkinson to get an ex-
preston from him as to their rights to
speak and hold meetings in West Virginia
and especially to complain of the injunc
tion issued by Judge Mason, prohibiting
the organizers to appear or hold meetings
on the grounds Of any company without
permission, or upon any road leading to
the company's property.
Governor Atkinson pointed out that no
had jurisdiction only In the executive
branch. He had not seen an official copy
of the injunction, but if what he got from
the newspapers in regard to it, was cor
reot, he believed it was too sweeping in
its provisions. The leaders will proceed
with their speeches till they are arrested
and then fight it out in the courts.
Gov. Atkinson Will Reply.
Charleston, W. Va, July 29.-Messrs.
Gompers, Ratchford and Sovereign, the
committee who came here yesterday to

injunction issued by Judge Maron, and
examined it he would send his reply by
mail to each member of the committee.

Situation at Ma1akand Serious.

Bombay, July 29.-The situation at
Camp Malakand has become very serious.
Word has been received that the natives
in large forces made second attack on
the fort yesterday. The fighting was very
severe. Thirteen of the British were
killed and 80 wounded, among the latter
being Lieut. CASTILLO. The tribesmen
lost 100. The worst feature of the situa-
tion now is that the garrison is short OF
ammunition, and it is feared the whole
supply will be exhausted before reinforce
ments arrive.
The government is making the greatest
efforts to get these through in time. 1t

EuRoPE's ATTITUDE ON SILVER.
Perry Belmont Says England s.ust
Lead the Way.

New York, July lS,-Perry Belmont, who
returned from Europe on Saturday, in a
carefully prepared interview which he
gave out for publication to-day, had this
to say on the money question:
I'm regard to the present attitude OF
Europe toward international bimetallism
there are advocates of II In France, Eng
land and Germany, as there were year
ago, but the advocacy has not increased
in volume or intensity. Neither France
nor Germany will unite with us in placing
gold and silver on parity unless Eng
land leads the way.
THE Mckinley administration is active
ly endeavoring, as the republican plat
form of 1896 requires, to promote the free
coinage of silver by international agree
ment. Its ambassadors and special com
missioners are working In concert under
the law enacted by the last congress,
which President Cleveland approved.
European bimetallists believe that IL,
in the failure of international bimetal-
lIsm we shall open our mints to silver on
the ratio of 16 and subsequently Europe
opens hers on the ratio of 156, then all
our gold will leave us as it did after 1884,
and only token silver coins would re-
main."

DEBs VISIT FULL OF DANGER.
He Is Expected to Have Great In
huence in West Virginia.

IN w virginia.
Cincinnati, o., July 1S.-The Commercial
Tribune special from Wheeling, w. Va,
says: "Just why it is so may be a mys-
terry to some,, but 1t is a fact, nevertheless
that Eugene V. Debs will be able to do
more just now towards bringing out the
miners in the Fairmount region than any
other man. A big meeting at Monongah
to-day demonstrated this when a local
miner got up and declared that as soon as
Debs came into this region the men would
strike, and that his influence would be
greater than all the offers of the opera
tors to pay bonuses on coal mined. This
sentiment was loudly cheered.
THE operators expect all Fairmount to
be out at the end OF the week or sooner.
They threaten to close their coke ovens
and put the negroes and Italians into the
mines, and this means positive trouble
and possible bloodshed The operators
had men at to-day's meeting taking notes
of everything said and done. Coal is TOO
badly needed, however for any of the
miners to fear dismissal.
The strike sentiment is growing slowly
and Thursday IS the limit generally paced
upon work. The railroads are rushing
things to-day and 1000 cars of coal were
shipped in the past twelve hours. Pas
senger trains on the Baltimore and Ohio
are being side tracked for coal trains.
'In the Norfolk and Western region to-
day the strikers made gains in some sec
tons and losses in others. Big mass meet
ings were held in Flat Top to-day and 1t
looks tonight as though four more of the
largest mines would be Idle in the morn
ing, though the men dislike to give up the
good pay they are now making
having a disquieting influence and may
make trouble. The contest between the
representatives, of the labor organizations
and the local interests throughout the re-
gion is terrific, but the strikers seem to
have the best of II. in the Eastern Ohio
district the operators haev about given up
hope Of betting men before the strike is
settled"

ton In an interview 20 the State Journal
as follows:
THE manner in which the miners are
conducting themselves commends itself to
the country and gives their officers re-
newed encouragement and strengthens the
belief that victory ultimately Will crown
their efforts. The history OF Industrial
strife has no parallel 10 the present move
ment. Deputy marshals. coal and iron po-
lice and secret detectives have been az

cite the miners to acts OF lawlessness or
even to a resumption OF work. Their

chip on their shoulder gave some cause
for alarm, and ordinarily would have caus-
ed a resort to violence. But our miners

Seattle, Wash, July ls.--The excitement
