Lurch in the Proposed Strike
Settlement.

Wheeling w. Va, Sept 1.-The news
that a settlement of the strike of the coal
miners in the Pittsburg district is near at
hand has thrown a damper upon the Lead
ers in West Virginia, for it, in part at
least. bears out the prophecy made by the
operators to their men before the strike
became effective in this city, that as soon
as the Ohio and Pennsylvania miners got
ready to settle they would do so without
consulting the West Virginia miners,
and with no formulated demand for better
conditions However, they are. disinciined
to believe they are going to be deserted
and will wait for positive information pc

Wall paper designers combine these pow

unaware of such simple secrets of repair

do work which might equally well be done
by amateur hands.

TIME FOR ACTION.

The Madrid impartial asserts that
it has good authority for saying that
the Spanish government has drafted
its answer to Minister Woodford's re-
quest for information as to the time
at which the Cuban war may be ex-
pected to end. The answer, it is al
legged, is that Spain is unable to fix a
date for the termination of the war
In Cuba.
If the Spanish response is really OF
this nature, com ments the New York
Journal, it should, and probably will
bring our relations with Spain to a
crisis, Taken in connection with the
announcement that 10000 more sell
dlers are to follow Captain General
Blanco next month, and that hostilit-
les will be prosecuted as long as reb-
ell remains in arms, it constitutes d.
rect and unmistakable rejection of our
Intervention. If Spain cannot fix a
date for the termination of the war in
Cuba, 1t is our duty to fix one for her
and the earlier the better for all con-
earned
