MINES WILL START UP.
The PittsburG Operators Have Decided
to Defy the Strikers.

Cleveland, Aug. l9.-The operators
of Pa Pennsylvania coal mines held a
conference in this city today, at which
it was determined that mines in the
Pittsburg district should be started and
operated without delay, on the ground
that the miners have taken a high
handed position; that nothing but an
unreasonable price for mining will sat
isfy thei" demands; that they have
been unwilling to treat with the opera
tors on any fair grounds; also that
there is no other course left open to the
operators at this time.
1t was determined that all coal sold
on the 54-cent basis of mining this year
must be mined at this price. No
change in the price of mining will be
considered until the contracts made at
the 54-cent basis are filed and the uni
formity agreement is completed.
AT least three-f fourths of the tonnage
of the Pittsburg district was represent
ed at the conference, and all were
unanimous and agreed, if necessary, to
forcibly resume operations, with the
exception of M. A. Hanna & Co.

Exclusion Act EYnded.

North Tonawanda, N. Y, Aug. go.
Uncle Sam is being defrauded and
the Chinese exclusion act evaded al
most every day along the Niagara from
tier. Lately the operations of the
smugglers have increased in volume so
rapidly that the federal officers have
become alarmed.
The smugglers seem to be well in
formed as to the movements of the off
GERS, and through information fur
nished them, presumably by spies,
have been able to avoid all traps set.
The interdicted immigrants are brought
acrosss the Niagara frontier in consid-
erable numbers. When they reach
this city they are taken under cover of
darkness to a certain laundry, where
they are "planted" until arrangements
can be made to send them to interior
cities.

NEWS FROM THE NORTH.
The Steamer Queen Brings Word From
Dyea and Skaguay.

Victoria, Aug. l9.-The steamer
Queen arrived late tonight from the
north. According to Purser Carroll,
very few, of the 800 men now camped
at Skaguay and Dyea will get over the
pass this winter
Men started to build a new trail, but
found that it would take 300 men three
weeks, and abandoned the idea. Prob
ably 300 men will get across in time
to start down the river.
A committee of % has been appointed
to Keep order at Skaguay, ]. Mckinney,
OF Seattle, being elected chairman, and

tary. Everything is orderly, and men
in good health.
On August Z, the high tide drove
many campers back from the beach.
There is good road five miles from
the bay, and goods can be hauled in by
wagon that distance. After that the
trail is bad.
Men are locating lots at Skaguay, Zone
being sold for $500. Most of the men
are preparing 10 winter at Skaguay.
A packer from Portland lost eight
horses and packs. They fell down a
cliff 10 feet, the packer narrowly es.
Gaping.
The report that the steamer Danube,
from this port, was seized at Dyea is
denied by the officers of the Queen.
Men who arrived from the North to-
night state that, although the Chilkoot
trail is the best one, miners are CEN
tering at Skaguay. Goods can be
hauled over large part of the Chill
koot trail in wagons, and most of the
rest OF the way on pack-horses. About
two miles over the summit men have to
carry their goods.
The White pass trail is very bad and
horses have to be killed daily. About
two miles of the trail is corduroyed,
but still large portion of it is boggy
A few men are getting through, but
very slowly, horses being scarce, COM

SHERMAN TO JAPAN,
An Answer to the Last Note ReIatin,
to Hawaii

Washington, Aug. 23. - Secretary
Sherman has submitted to the Japanese
government an answer to Japan's last
note relating to the annexation of Ha-
wall to the United States. Mr.. Sher-
mans answer is marked by its friendly
expression toward Japan.
Two features are brought out by the
answer: 1t reiterates the position
heretofore taken by the secretary of
state as to the right and proprietv of
annexing Hawaii to the United States;
with this, however, is coupled an as
surance that the interests of Japan in
Hawaii will be fully safeguarded. 1t
also expresses satisfaction at the plan
OF arbitration between Japan and Ha-
waii on the question of japanese immi-
grafton to Hawaii.
The answer is largely an elaboration
OF Mr.. Sherman's former letter, and
the policies expressed in no way differ
from those previously laid down by
him.

Anarchists to Be Excluded.

New York, Aug. 16.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says: The
treasury department is keeping a sharp
lookout for the anarchists now being
driven from France, Spain and Italy
by concerted action by the great conti-
mental powers. No pains will be
spared to prevent the United States
from being made the asylum for these
men. Terrence V. Powderly, the new
commissioner OF immigration, said in
an interview that he would adopt every
remedy under the law to exclude
Planas,. the leader of the Spanish an
archists, who has been conducted to
Havre by French officers and shipped
to New York. The immigration au-
thorities will notify their officers at
New York and all large seaboard ports
to be on the lookout for anarchists
headed this way. 1t is expected that
the United States consul at Havre will
give specific information as to the ship
on which Planas and his compatriots

NOT A PRICELESS PEARL.
Moneyed Consideration Prevented a
Woman Committing Suicide.

Oakland, CAL, Aug. 10. - Mabel
Crosby, who attempted to commit sui
eide near Lambertville, N. j., few
days ago, is well known in California.
She is known here rs Mrs. Pearl Price,
and threatening suicide is her profess
sion. Whenever she becomes finan-
cially embarrassed, she permits some
body to prevent her from committing
suicide. Then she takes up collection,
has herself photographed in living
picture pose, and goes to another town.
In this way Mrs. Price has been quite
successful in gaining livelihood.
Mrs. Price used to be on the stage,
which gave her knowledge of elocu-
tion and effective posturing. Later on
she performed in circus, where she
gained training that enables her to
take high dives into the water without
any danger of being drowned until some
one rescues her.
Last winter she aroused the SYM
pathies of the people of Haywards by
trying to hang herself, and secured
enough money to go to Los Angeles.
Then it was discovered that under the
name of Crosby she had previously
played the same trick and taken up a
collection at Redding. Next she APP
peared at New Orleans and leaped into
the Mississippi, but was rescued by a
fireman, and sympathetic people sent
her on to her starving children in New

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins & Company's Review
of Trade.

There was large and rapid advance
In the prices of wheat during the past
week with prospects OF higher range
OF prices the rest of the year. Spot
wheat is difficult to get, even at a pre-
mum and the demand is pressing for
old wheat; l,945,0 900 bushels have been
taken in Chicago this week for prompt
and future shipment on foreign orders
the bulk of which was taken at the
advance early in the week.
This general advance is more the ont
come of the and-to-mouth consump-
tion of twelve months overtaking the
small stocks both here and in Europe,
as we have pointed out time and again,
than of short European crops now being
reaped. Prosperity is coming, in the
fact that tho European consumer is pay
ing the American farmer a better price
than the majority of specuators put
upon the wheat. The actual value OF
the new crop is 20 cents higher than
the professional short seller made it in
June, when they We're selling Septem-
Der freely at SO - cents, and the farmer
is to be congra ulated that this advance
comes before the grain leaves his hands.
And so long as the legitimate demand
keeps the spot wheat at premium, no
combination or monopoly can protitably
depress the futures, as the experiences
OF the past six months have proved.
So, for the near future, it will be safe
to buy wheat on each decline, as the
speculative market is broadening and
outside buying increasing, and will in
crease as the state of the country i'm
proves.
Although the sensational press tried
to show local manipulation in July de-
iyery, Chicago is still the lowest mar
ket in the country, with spot wheat
this week 10 cents over the highest
price in July, and we would have seen
much higher price during this month
had not holders of wheat been fright
ened in June by sensational rumors of
large receipts; now the cash demand far
exceeds, in proportion, the speculative
demand. AS in the May and July de-
liveries, the September speculative
price is steadily advancing to the price
of the spot wheat, which, as in those
months, will finally fix the value in the
latter end of this month.
We are now having large receipts OF
wheat from an ample crop of fine quail
ity-this week 5,343, 406 bushels at the
nine primary markets, compared with
3,2l7, 3S2 bushels for the same last year.

A SAD AFFAIR.

Our Moran correspondent reported
briefly the fact of the shooting ARRAY
of which George Miller, of that place,
was the principal, but there has
been so much inquiry for the details
that we print the following from the
Klncaid Dispatch, near which town
the event occurred. No one acquaint-
ed with George Miller will hold him
morally responsible for the act, for
the reason that his mind has not been
sound for many years, owing to an
injury received in Childhood; but the
act is no less to be deplOred on that
account. 1t lie great relief, however,
to know that the wounded women
are reported better, and likely to re-
cover. The Dispatch says:
Miller has been waiting on Miss Efie Kirby. a
daughter of Mrs. Burkey by former marriage
The Burkeys objected to Miller's visits and
when he called Sunday afternoon he was de-
MED admittsnce. Only the women folks were
home and Mrs. Burkey sent her two daughters
up stairs and met Miller at the door and after
telling him that he could not be admitted shut
the door in his face. This enrsged him and he
drew a revolver, a 50 cslibre, and fred through
the glass door at her the bullet striking her in
the breast inficting an ugly wound which may
be fatal Miss Effie then FASTENED down to her
mother after hearing the repurt of the revolver.

the assassin fi'ed again the bullet striking
Miss Effie in the small of the back. As the
young woman fell Miller came into the house
and at the same time Jennie Berkey, the other
daughter, appeared upon the scene and he OPP
ened fire upon her. shooting her through the
shoulder. He then went outside where two
small girls were playing and fired at them but
they escaped by running to a neighbor The

doctors of the shooting. and started on his re
