WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-secretary
Wilson of the department of agricul-
ture, will spend his vacation, which he
will take in August, in travelling
through Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, the
Dakotas and Montana, with the object
of studying the resources OF these states
for rearing horses suitable for the Eu-
ropean armies.
The secretary has written to United
States ministers, and has requested
some Americans travelling abroad TO
give him information regarding the ex-
act qualifications demanded for the
army horses Of Europe, and when this
information Is received farmers bull
letin will be issued. with view to hav-
ing this country do more in supplying
the demand than 1t has in the past, The
ouly objection to horses raised on the
plains of the west rs army horses for
European countries lies In the fact that
the animals are not large enough.
The Sioux pony possesses all the quail.
tiles OF health and hardness that could
be desired. and II IL believed that by
proper feeding and by the introduction
Of heavier stock on the sire side II can
be brought up TO the required size. Mr..
Wilson believes that II stockmen and
farmers can grow the horses needed to
recruit the cavalry Of European coun-
tries, they will get q good price for
them.
Secretary Wilson will also look over
tho states in which he will spend his
vacation, with n view TO seeing what
can be done for the development OF the

Is surprise in store for the operators of
this REGION" said Joseph W. Rea to-
night. inside of forty-eIght hours there
will be several additions to the men al

There Is more in Rea's words than
many people think. He has been here

or three meetings each day. Not in the
usual way, but has quietly gune to some
school house or public hall and the min
ers have gathered there as II by magic.
This afternoon at Monongah the meeting
was a repetition Of the success at Paln-
tine last night and catawba yesterday
afternoon. Tomorrow at WorthIngton

more organizers will join Mr.. Rea and
Ed Davis, his aide, tomorrow. Davis
went TO Clarksburg this afternoon to
organize the PlnnIckInnink, Glenwood
and Despard men who are all out.
Rea says he IL highly elated over the
prospects, and thinks West Virginia Will
yet come out. Mahon telegraphed from
Charleston to-day that the Kanawha
and New River men had struck for fifty
cents a ton and check weighman. Rea
says he intends to call on special judge
John W. Mason, who granted the lnjunc-
tlon tomorrow, and that ne WANTS TO
know what the judge means. He does
not know whether the injunction at
tempts to keep him from holding meet
ings in the. public roads or not. To-
night there are more signs OF a general
laying down OF picks than there has been
since the strike begun. None Of the
operators have contracts ut more than
ten days in length, and the men say IL
they do not come out the other miners
will 20 back and they will return to the
