mistake in making out the papers his
name was stated as Andrew instead of
Alexander.

Special to the Register.
Fairmont, w. Va, July 27.-The few
organizers still in the Fairmont dis
trict account for the present lull among
the strikers by claiming that they Will
take no important step until after the
results of the conference in Wheeling
to-day is made public This opinion
is not, however, agreed with by the
close observer of the situation, whose
claim is that as far as this district is
concerned the great strike is failure.
To-day reports from all the mines
show more men at work than yester-
day, and new men ere coming in to-
night from Connellsville for the Mo-
nongah mines, as many OF their for
mer employees will have to search for
new positions.
What an operator meant this morn
ing when he observed to the Register
correspondent that the strike in this
region had just begun can only be
guessed, but his second statement pre-
sents an idea. He said: 1T is easy
enough for miner to dismiss himself
from anyone's employ, but he will find
it a much harder job to hire himself
again"
Whether this will be the policy of the
operators or not it is hard TO tell, but
it is safe to say that it will not be
the case at the big mines. The min
ers have been duped by the agitators,
hof M
the region would be out by Monday
OF this week, and some Of the miners
say to-day that their mine brethren
have played them false. For instance,
a Monongah miner in town to-day says
that the agitators hadG positive as
surances from the New England men
that they would come out when need
ed. The West Fairmont men were 10
come out when New England did.
If the miners received these assur-
ances they naturally feel angry after
taking the lead.
The situation, as far as the Monon-
gah miner is concerned, resembles the
school boys who undertake to lick the
teacher. There is always one boy
who starts the trouble and the rest fall
back, leaving him to take the punish
ment the master prescribes. The Mo-
nongah men will have to bear the
brunt of the failure, and as they are
the aggressors they will be blamed.
At Hite's still more men are at work
to-day, and the same is true at several
other places; Beechwood, noticeably,
where there is not man out to-day.
The Herculean efforts of the organ
izers have been in vain, the appeals
of the eloquent Debs have not reached
the men, the sympathy for their strik-
ing brethren is not stronger than their
greed for personal gain. Nothing or
ganized labor can do will bring the
men out of the Fairmont district.

word to be dropped, and after short
contention withdrew from the confer
ence.
The meeting then adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Tonight General Little and others
called on COL Rend at his hotel and
asked that he reconsider his action and
enter the conference again to insure
success OF the meeting. He replied
that he would cordially endorse and
cooperate in any plan the conference
agreed upon If fifty per cent of the dis
trict operators would give their con-
sent TO the same He believes il i'm
possible to secure 81 per cent for uni
formity as Mr.. DeArmitt demands, and
is willing 10 do as 90 per cent OF the
operators wish.
The new preamble to the old uni
formity agreement relates the existing
condition of affairs in the Pittsburg
district and the lack of profit there is
in the coal trade. Ii states that uni
formity if properly and promptly avail
ed of will settle these differences to a
large extent, and correct the abuses
to degree not hitherto attainable.
Tonight General Little and Judge
Owens are in secret conference at the
Duquesne Club with Secretary VIM.
Warner and Organizer Cameron Mil
ler. Nothing definite can be learned
as to the subject under discussion, but
it is believed it has reference TO having
the miners represented at the confer
ence tomorrow, as there seems TO be
considerable dissatisfaction with Mr..
DeArmitt's announcement to-day that
the conference has no connectio with
the strike ad merely for the purpose or
establishing uniformity. Many Of the
operators think with Col. Rend that
the meeting should devise some means
to settle the strike as well as 10 provide
for uniformity.
Reports to the miners officials from
throughout the district show every
thing quiet All plans are being held
in allegiance, pending the action of the
conference.

A Clause In the New Tarin Bill That VIII
Cost Thousands of Dollars to Tobacco
Men.

Clause I'm the New IarIff Bill That VIII
Cost Thousands of Dollars To Tobstco
Men.
New York, July 27-The Dingley
law has caused panic among import
ers of tobacco, who declare that one
short paragraph in the new law means
a loss to them Of thousands Of dollars
every year. The paragraph is a part
of Section 80 Of the act, which COM
pels importers to pay the duty on to-
bacco at the weight IL goes into the
bonded warehouses. This takes from
the tobacco men a privilege that has
for many years been accorded 10 them
by the tariff laws. Under the Wilson
act and previous laws, importers have
had their tobacco reweighed at the
time OF its withdrawal from bonded
warehouses. and on this weight duties
were collected.
The weight Of tobacco is greatly re-
duced during the bonded period by
evaporation
When tobacco arrives from a long
ocean voyage il is frequently insult
ciently cured and has absorbed large
percentage of moisture. This mois-
ture evaporates in the warehouse. Ex-
perts estimate that the importer saves
s25 to $40 a bale on Sumatra. and
sometimes as high as SO bale On
Havana leaf by paying on the dried out
tobacco. Importers will now gain
nothing By delay. but must pay duties
at s1.S5 per pound OF the weight on
their tobacco at the time Of It's ar

Mines
Duquoin. Ills, July 27.-About forty
Of Bradley's men from Belleville ar
rived here to-day to influence the men
to strike. They were ordered out Of
town by the city marshal. All the
mines here are working.
When the striking miners at Belle
vile learned of the reception received
by their fellows at Duquoin, they ex-
pressed a determination to go to the
latter city and drive out the working
miners. There are about 500 miners
in DuQuoin. If they persist in work
ing an equal number Of miners will
invade the place from Belleville and
other points.
Just beyond Duquoin is Carterville,
where the miners are still working and
say they will not quit. Old miners
who have watched strike troubles de-
velop before. say that unless the Du-
Quoin. Centerville and Murphysboro
men come to terms. trouble is sure TO
break out.

MEANS WAR.
According to the Best European
AuthOrities---Japan and It's Protest.

London, July 27.-The st. James
Gazette, commenting upon Japan's pro-
test in the Hawaiian matter, says:
According to European usage it
amounts to threat to resist the trans
fer of the archipelago by force, and is
equivalent to warning the United States
that they must give up their views as
to Hawaii or prepare for war. II does
mean so much in the mouth of Japan,
though the Americans do not seem to
think so. But they have such odd ideas
of diplomatic language that they are
no great authorities.
