Pfttsburg, July 1.-The strike order Of
the national executive committse Of the
United Mine Workers OF Amesfra was
obeyed by from 10000 10 1900 OF the 2I,-
900 miners In the Pittsburg district yes
terday. The great struggle is now on In
earnest, and the Developments Of the
next few days Will determine the success
or failure OF the fight for uniform min
ing rate. Pittsburg In the pivotal point
In the Ave states engaged In the con-
test. and the success OF the local officials
In their efforts TO secure a general sus-
pension In this district Will have an i'm
portant bearing on the outcome Of tho
movement.
While II is estimated that at least two
thirds OF the miners have thrown down
their picks enough men are still at work
to seriously impair the strikers chances
unless they can ultimately be brought
out. This President Dolnn confidently
claims can be done. The operators on
the other hand are I'm nowise discon-
certed. and assert that the strike can
not succeed. The first break In the oper-
ators ranks was made yesterday after
noon by j. w. Steen OF the O. I. G.. mines
at Rossville. The diggers refused to
work, and the mine was closed, but a
notice was posted that the G3-cent rate
would be paid.
Ii IL not likely that the officials will al
low the men to work until majority Of
the operators have agreed to the min
ers' demands.

AGREEMENT REACHED.
Closing Speeches Are Limited
to Five Minutes,
amendments Are All ln-..AIIIson Says White
Pine Duty VIII Not 30 Changed.

Washington. July 1.-THE end Of the
lariff debate Is at last In sight. which
will give a long suffering country much
yelief. A few minutes before adjourn
ment last evening Mr.. Allison asked
unanimous consent that vote on the bill
DE taken before adjournment today.
Before publicly making this request Mr..
ALLISON had privately consulted with
the leaders on his own side Of the cham
Der and those on the Democratic side.
HIe had found no objection. The Repub-
1icans were only too anxious to have the
bill disposed OF. and the Democrats have
all along said they would permit the bill
TO be brought to a vote whenever the
Republicans said they were willing.
Having found the track clear Mr.. ALI
son officially announced the proposition.
There was a nervous silence following
his request. and senators glanced
around the chamber apprehensively,
afraid at the last moment that some
man who had not been consulted would
prove fractions and object.
Before the vice president could put
Che request, Mr.. Pettigrew got up. There
was a feeling lof alarm. Pettigrew was
evidently going to object, every one
thought, and q single objection would
prevent an agreement being reached.
Rut Mr.. Pettigrew was not In a fight-
ing mood He simply wanted to know
IL the duty Of 81 q thousand feet on
white pine lumber would be permitted
TO stand or whether an attempt would
be made to restore the duty to 81, the
rate originally agreed upon by the
sinance committee.
Mr.. Allison told him that the commit
tee would make no attempt to change
the rate agreed upon by the senate. Mr..
Pettigrew expressed himself as salts
fed. arri then without more ado the
agreement to vote today was made
binding on both sides.
Z A vote may be reached as early as
o'clock this afternoon, hut 1t probably
will be taken an hour or two later. Tn
der the terms Of the agreement COM
mencing at o'clock only five-minute
speeches are TO be permitted, and then
when these are exhausted the voting
commences, the agreement being that q
vote must be taken before adjournment.
which is an indefinite hour. But both
sides being anxious to reach vote there
will be no attempt made to stave 1t Off.
Immediately after the senate has
voted upon the bill II will go over to the
house, that is to say. It will reach the
house tomorrow. The house expected
that 1t might have to deal with the bill
today. and for that reason II adjourned
on Monday until Wednesday instead Of
customary Thursday. Today II will
recess so that the when the bill Is re-
turned to the senate with sundry
amendments" no time will be lost In re-
ferring It to the ways and means commit

The Wool Market.

Boston, July 1.-The wool market here
has shown considerable strength during
the last week in all departments. al
though the greater demand has been for
foreign woods. The sales Of territory
wools have been brisk, but dealers are
not anxious to sell at the prices asked by
buyers. In fleece woods there is little
doing, and little to do with. The cost
of new wools is considerable above the
present market here, and prices are
largely nominal in the absence Of busi-
ness. Sales of Ohio No. washed heeces
have been made this week at % and "a
cents for clothing and combing, while a
small lot of x and above Ohio sold at 20
cents. The demand for Australian wool
continues good at full prices.

him with terrific force through the tops

earth, crushed and mangled in a horrible
manner.

End OF Gold Exports Tn sIuht.

New York, July THE Tribune says:
All OF the gold that has been exported
In the last two months has gone by the
steamships Of the German and French
lines for the reason that Vienna and
Paris were the points Of destination.
No gold went by the French boat which
sailed Saturday, and none Will go by the
German boat which sails this week.
While II cannot be stated positively, II
looks like the efflux Of gold had come
to an end. When II started in the first
week In May the estimate was made
that the total Of the gold would be about
$2b,000,OO0. The shipments have just
been within that figure. Owing to the
heavy exports OF merchandise and to the
fact that cotton and grain futures will
from this time forward be offered in
large numbers. there can be no rise in
exchange for several months, on the
contrary 1t would seem as IL the ex-
change rates must, in less than so days,
sink to a level which will start flow
OF gold to the United States from the
other side. The tremendous shrinkage
In Kaffirs vii do more than anything else
to turn the attention Of English inves-
tors and speculators to American Sc
curities. Their purchases will. of course.
create additional exchange. Altogether
the outlook in the exchange market may
be pronounced very favorable.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
A BLESSED RELIEF.

It is reported that after his first
Cabinet meeting President Mckinley,
Judge McKenna and Governor Long,
who were close friends in the House
years ago, quietly lighted their cigars
and sat for nearly an hour talking over
old times.
This they were enabled to do because
in the various departments the invad-
ing office-seekers found notices inform
ing, them of the number-a very small
one--of places not covered by the civil
service rules, that is, not to be filled,
where there are any vacancies, by open
competition for merit and fitness alone
The change not only permits respon-
sible heads of departments and the
president to enjoy an hour of leisure at
proper times, but it permits them tC
give 20 the business of the country anC
of all the people the unwasted time anC
energy formerly consumed by the Office
hunters. The contrast is amazing, bu
the great wonder to all rational mel
is why was it not brought about year.

1t is to be regretted that the General
Assembly did not stay over in body
and make a thorough inspection of our
public schools. Few of the members
have an adequate conception Of the
amount Of money that our city has iD-
vested in school property, or Of the
completeness of the system of educa-
cation which we have at the present
time To have gone from school to
school and to have thoroughly exam
ined the workings Of the different de-
partments of the educational work now
being carried on here would have been
revelation to many of the members
of the rural districts.
