AFFAIRS IN GENERAL.
BRIEF MENTION OF EVENTS OF
INTEREST.
An Attempt Made to Settle the Miners
Strike by Arbitratlon-The Strikers
Increase In Numbers and are Very
Confident-Coal Famine Threatened
Notes on the Miners Big strike.

Nine prominent labor organizers
have gone to the West Virginia coal
fields to get the miners now working
there into the union and have them
lay down their tools 1t is said by
those who are in a position to know
that it will not require much urging to
bring the West Virginians out. The
strikers officers will then turn all
their endeavors toward the Pennsyl-
vania mines of the New York ard
Cleveland Gas Coal Co., whom Pres-
dent De Armit, of the company, brags
cannot be induced TO strike. The min
ers' officers realize that the early sue
cess of the strike depends in closing
these mines and will use every means
to bring the men out.
Gov. Mount, of Indiana, saws his
sympathy is all with the striking min
ers in the present contest, and if he
sees his way clear will appoint an in
vestigating committee.
With the scarcity of coal already
prevailing at the lake ports, it is
claimed the supply will not last over
two weeks at the longest The retail
dealers as well as the operators in gen.
eral, concede that famine is imminent
and look for prices to advance enor-
mously. At Cleveland coal has already
jumped from S1.50 to SO per ton.
An attempt was made TO settle the
strike by voluntary arbitration. Labor
commissioners and official arbitrators
of the states affected assembled at
Pittsburg togeth Their with a number of
interested mine operators and miners
union officials. The principal objec-
ton came from President DeArmit. of
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Co.
who said he would not arbitrate, but
would fight the United Mine workers
to the last ditch. President Ratchford.
of the miners union, then said that
the only recourse left for the miners
was TO fight also Later, however,
DeArmit offered to sign an agreement
if 95 per cent of the operators of the
| Pittsburg district will abolish their
company stores, use a uniform screen,
give honest weight, and pay cash to
the men every two weeks. Some OF
the operators look upon DeArmit's
! proposition as n humbug and as a ruse
to gain time. The miners officials de-
clare that DeArmit once before signed
such an agreement and soon found a
! technicality through which TO repudi-
ate it.

RepublIoan, From Everywhore.

Detroit, the star convention city of
Uncle Sans domains. has just enter
tained another mighty throng. Over
5000 visitors were attracted to the city
by the annual convention OF the Ma

Of course tho principal feature OF the

lieved, can weaken the position of the

Tariff Conference Report Accented.

SENATE.-9ith day.-The day was
principally devoted TO a discussion of
Mr.. Harris resolution relating to the
Union Pacific railroad House. The
conference report on the tariff bill was
adopted by vote of 1875 to lis. This
eclipses all previous records. The re-
suit was accomplished after 12 hours
of continuous debate. But two
speeches were made bv the Republi-
cans. one by Mr.. Dingley in opening
the debate, and one by Mr.. Payne, of
New York, in closing it, The Demo-
Gratis made 10 speeches and the Popd-
lists one. The sugar schedule was the
main point of assault, but the most in
terestng feature Of the debate occur
red when Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. McMillin,
the two rival Democratic leaders,
crossed swords on the question of
orthodoxy of the free raw material
doctrine, the former opposing and the
latter championing it. The galleries
were crowded up to the time the vote
was taken, many distinguished people
being present. An analysis of the vote
shows that $50 Republicans aud five
Democrats voted for the report and LOG
Democrats and IL Populists against it.
In his opening speech Mr.. Dingley
spoke of the revenue to be raised by
the bill and pointed out the difficulty
resulting from the large anticipatory
importations. The bill next year, he
calculated, would raise S225, 600, 900, or
SIS, 900, 900 more than the present law.
Over sac, 900, O0O had been lost i'm this
years revenues by the importations of
wool and sugar and other things the
duty on which was raised in the bill, SO
that he calculated that the bill this
year would raise Sls5, 900, 900. Mr..
Dingley declared that there was no
doubt that the revenue produced by
the bill would not only be ample to
meet the expenditures of the govern
ment but allow Republican admins
tration to begin again to pay off the
principal of the public debt. In con-
Guiding Mr.. Dingley received round
after round of applause from his Re-
publican colleagues by predicting as a
result of the enactment of this bill a
rise of prices and restoration of pros
perity. The final conference report
on the general deficiency appropria-
ton bill was also adopted.

Spain and Japan Combine Against U. s.

Spain and Japan Combine Against U. s.
London: A strong rumor is in circu-
lation to the effect that the govern
ments of Spain and japan have ar
ranged an offensive alliance against
the United States. The terms of the
understanding. which is for the mutual
protection of Cuba and Hawaii. provide
that in the event of an actively ag
gressive movement on the part of the
United States tending toward inter
ference in Cuban affairs or persistence
in the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands, both Spain and Japan shall de-
clare war simultaneously against the
United States and shall make their sea
demonstrations alonV both the Atlantic
and Pacific coast lines of that country.
The London Daily Mail says: "Stcre-
tary Sherman's seal dispa tch is too I'M
diplomatic for English ears and too
hollow for American common sense.
In the interest of humanity the ru-
mored alliance between Japan and
Spain is desirable. Our Yankee friends
want little blood letting 10 bring

and this woud best be done by and
