der present circumstances finally re-
suit. The great railway corporations
and others here have to meet a gold
interest with a medium that is ever
decreasing in value. 1t does not matter
how great the business and their
cal ity ior making N eaey, because the
money earned is inadequate to meet
their obligations abroad There is only
one thing for them to do, increase their
earnings over one hundredfold, or con-
slider that their foreign debt was con-
tracted in silver. 1t seems hard that
the credit of this government that is
now so high, and the excellent foreign
investments here should fbe injured
through circumstances over which they
have no control, but facts are facts
and it will be interesting to watch
what will happen unless there is q
sharp rally in silver before long.
Merchants here are paralyzed, and
all orders for abroad have been coun-
termanded. The manager Of the Scotch
thread monopoly here has raised prices
on thread 25 per cent, and the French
importers of dry goods have followed
suit. A prominent banker said that he
believed exchange would go to $50 per
cent premium. He considered the out
look to be most serious for this country.
In fact he considered it too gloomy
to speculate upon.

"EIGHT" IDEA TO BLAND
For Minnesota's Weak Showing in
the FOur-Oars.


OF course the admirers of the stall
wart oarsmen Of the Minnesota Boat
club are proud of their winning the
big event of the regatta-the senior
four Dared race-to say nothing of
Houghtons quarter-mile dash-both of
which, by the way, We're captured
handily, but there is the feeling that
the club in it's races against Winnipeg
this year showed signs of having had
very bad attack of eight The
club for the last three years has been
running to the eight, and the expert
ence of this summer has shown them
that here in the West it is possibly a
mistake. The old oarsmen of the club
believe this anyway.
The old cry has gone up, to be sure,
1--WE have no good boats" and that
seems to be true, Judging from ap-
pearances, but to see race like the
Junior four slip away from st. Paul
with the crew she had simply because
forsooth, they had been in their boat
together but three times and did not
know each others peculiarities, seems
matter to be deplored. The same
way st. Paul lost possible chance
even against the Canadian crack
Johnstone in the senior singles, and
a very much better chance against
Sandy Logan in the junior singles for
the want of boats which wouldn't
bend up in the middle and break in
two The statement has been made
by some of the st. Paul oarsmen that
next year, if they can get boats, there
will be no first eight, but that the men
will train for senior and junior singles,
doubles and fours. 1t is a fact that
the winners Of the senior four race
yesterday, could, after proper practice
and training, sweep the entire West,
and give some of the big Eastern
crews a fast go for the honors. And
yet they put in all their time this
season in the eight only to have a
mildly successful race with Duluth
and incidentally keep Duluth out of
the regatta events. Then next year
the eight-oared shell will be given to
a second eight who can train for the

A special from Fairport, says: The

Ore hundred and eight signatures
have been affixed to the uniformity
agreement by operators. This list in
cludes the largest operators in the dis

signatures is secured the strike, if it is
still in progress; will easily be settled.
AT no time during the strike has
the situation been so critical. If trouble
does come. it will not be between
strikers and deputies, but between
strikers and the negroes, in the camn
at Unity, who are employed on the
rev Pittsburg & Bessemer railway
The deputies will be drawn in to ouelI

is not improbable. In the camp of the

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. THE strik-
ers are continuing orderly and are gain
ing accessions to their ranks constant
ly. The $50 men employed at the Hor-
ner & Roberts coal mine at Elizabeth
refused to go to work this morning;
about seventy-five miners at the Equit-
able mines in the same locality also
struck. Both mines are paying the dis
trict rate. The Bunola men, who were
persuaded to come out last evening, all
remained away from the pit today and
no coal was mined. The coal company
leased the ground where the strikers
located yesterday and ousted them, but
another field has been secured by the
strikers which the owner refused to
lease to the company and permanent
camp will be established. 1t is re-
ported that an effort will be made
to start the mine Monday morning.
The strikers are preparing for the
struggle, and by o'clock Monday
morning 1000 men will likely be In
camp here. This closes down all the
mines of the first, second and third
pools.
This was pay day at the Sandy Creek
mine and the diggers were all paid off,
On Monday those working in the Plum
Creek mine will receive their wages
and on Monday evening another big
meeting will be held at Plum Creek. 1t
is said that the miners there will Join
the strikers after Monday. No trouble
is expected at Plum Creek.
A special from West Newton says:
The sympathy of this entire communi-
ty is with the striking coal miners. The
use of a large building on Third street
has been given free for a. commissary.
and the townspeople and farmers have
contributed provisions literally. Sew
eral hundred dollars have also been
contributed.
This warm feeling for the strikers
took a sudden turn last night, when
the report was circulated that the
strikers had visited the Troup and
Riarck pits in Coal Hollow, and or
dered the few men working there to
stop work. These two pits have been
supplying coal for the borough cleo
trio light plant for family use and have
only been in operation few weeks.
The report reached the leaders of the
strikers here, and they at once branded
it as the work of the enemy to injure
their cause. This morning they noti-
fed Troup and Riarck that they might
mine all the coal they could
simultaneously with the move on
Westmoreland county mines next
week, demonstration will be made

Experience and Testimony.

1t is o fact often referred to that near
~ every one who becomes Christian is
led to the step by some person interested
in his welfare. The most powerful
means of persuading person to begin
the Christian life lies in personal testi-
mony. The power to testify or speak OF
ones own personal experience rarely
comes easily, but must often be acquired
by practice if it is possessed at all. Many
people are timid and rarely speak in the
religious meetings of the League or
church who could be powerful for good
if they would overcome their diflidence
and conquer their pride. The best way
to begin is to give thought to personal
communion with God and possess def
mite experience Then in every service
where it is proper speak briefly of some
definite thing in that experience. Soon
the power to speak more at length will
have been acquired.
