ated for the relief of the Mississippi
Hood sufferers. A resolution was passed
authorizing the secretary of the navy
10 transport supplies contributed for
the relief of the poor and furnishing
indians in India, and $50 600 was APP
propr1ated for the entertainment and
4 expenses of the delegates to the United
States postal congress, who met in this
city. The only piece of general legis-
lation enacted by this congress except
the tariff bill, are the laws TO prevent
collisions at sea and to put in force
regulations to prevent collisions upon
certain harbors, rivers. and inland
waters of the United States; and the
bill authorizing the president to sus-
pend discriminating duties on foreign
vessels and commerce.
OTHER IMPORTANT SUBJECTS.
The senate, not being confined as to
scope of it's legislation, dWelt with a
number of important subjects, both in
and out of executive session. One of
these, which attracted worldwide at
tention, was the general arbitration
treaty, negotiations by President Cieve-
land with Great Britain. After ex-
haustive consideration, despite the
great pressure brought to bear upon
the senate by religious and commercial
bodies throughout the country, the SEN

features, and the free homes BILL

The following minor bills and joint
resolutions became laws, managing to
escape objections from any member:
Authorizing the secretary of war to

titled "An act to provide for the entry
Of lands in Greer county, Oklahoma, 20

for other purposes" approved Jan. is,
1897; reappropriating $4,000 not eX-
pended for the relief of the Mississippi
river flood sufferers for the flood suf-

foreign exhibitors at the Trans Missis-
sippi and international exposition to be
held in the city of Omaha, Neb., dur
ing the year 1898, to bring to the United
States foreign laborerS from their coun-
tries, respectively for the purpose of
preparing for and making exhibits; to
provide for the immediate repair of dry
docks numbered three at the New York
navy yard; making appropriation for
the Improvement of the Mississippi

MINERS MEETING. .
Was Great Success From One Stand
point

Clarksburg, w. Va. July 25.-The
miners meeting advertised for today
has proven a great success from the
miners standpoint
On every train scores of miners ar
rived. About 800 miners and double
that number Of citizens listened 10 the
speeches. j. w. Rea of Chicago, vice
president of the Painters and Decor
ators' union, spoke of the benefits de-
rived from organized labor. He was
well received. w. D. MahOn, president
of the National Street Car union, stated
that if the strike would be lost it would
be on account of the West Virginia
miners, and that a general boycott
would be declared against all West
Virginia coal in the future by all Or
ganizations Of labor in the United
States.
Over 100 men said they would join
the union and 2 meeting will be held
on Monday There is no douOt that
all will go out. by Tuesday. Mr.. Ma
hon says 40 national organizations will
be represented at Wheeling on Tuesday
and action will be taken that will
cause a settlement or once or a general
strike Will be called for.

DEBs is CONFIDENT.
Held Three Good Meetings at Various
Mines Yesterday.

Fairmont, w. Va, July 25.-Eugene
V. Debs held three good meetings at
the various mines today and is conf
dent that the men will be gotten out
although he will not say he expects the
move tomorrow. The general impress
sion is that if the break is not made
tomorrow, it will not be made at ALL
1t is hard to tell what the men will do
when the morning comes.
Today the operators succeeded in
keeping many OF the men from the
meetings and it looks as easy to keep
them in the mines. Mahon left this
afternoon for Clarksburg, where he and
Rhea addressed a good meeting.
All the mines are guarded by depu-
ties and no men are allowed on the
company's grounds. A body of Ihe or
ganized men Will stay at each of the
different mines tonight and a herculean
effort is TO be made to induce the men
not TO go to work tomorrow morning.
Rumors of all kinds are afloat tonight,
but no trouble is expected. Tomorrow
will certainly settle the strike one way
or the other, so far as this region is
Concerned.

straining every nerve to secure the
( funds necessary on which to make the
trip. Many are making sacrifices in
order TO visit the country that promises
so much.
Every steamship office in the city is
literally overrun with people seeking
information concerning the Klondyke

have not hesitated to pay for the pas
sage, trusting in many instances 10
good luck to give them the food on

The steamer Umatilla left this morn
ing for the north with go passengers
and full cargo of provisions She goes
TO Port Townsend, where she connects
with the City of Topeka, sailing direct
to Juneau. The owners of the Umatilla
have applied to the inspectors of hulls
and boilers for permission to carry all
the passengers that the vessels owned
by the company will hold. The To-
peka. which is scheduled to leave Seat
tie early next week, has already more
passengers than is permitted by the
law. The same is true of the George
w. Elder. which is scheduled to sail
July 80. The people at Seattle are beg
sing the steamship company officers to
provide them with transportation.
More people are anxious to go to
Alaska and the Yukon country than
can possibly be accommodated at the
present time. 1t is believed by many
that the vessels now fitting at San
Francisco and destined for Dawson
City by way of st. Michaels will never
reach the former place. The river be-
gins to freeze about Sept 10. and it is
not possible for vessels leaving San
Francisco after Aug. TO reach Dawson
City for at least five or six days after
the extreme cold has set in.

on the 24th or 25th of July. is under
going his yearly experience in this city
under the care of a number of inter-
ested physicians.
Price took i'll at 1 o'clock yesterday
and for several hours suffered violent
pains and from dizziness and nausea.
followed by unconsciousness caused
by the congestion of his skin. He was
subjected to a violent rubbing by his
wife and late last night he regained
consciousness and his skin began to
loosen all over his body.
The shedding period only lasts a few
days and he is then ready to go TO
work again in his new coat. but some
times his feet remain so tender that he
is compelled to wear the old skin for
moccasins for several davS.
The peculiar freak of nature has puz-
zled doctors from all parts of the coun-
try and no one has yet been able to
offer a reasonable theory to account
for it.

dence that the Illinois strikers had sent
about IA delegates here to agitate a

The delegates came quietly and dealt
with the delegates selected by the sew

The strong argument the agitators
used with the Kansas miners holds
the key to the situation westward; that
II Kansas went out the railroads would

She left. Long before that time the
wharf was completely blocked with
people who were on hand to witness
the departure. and the crowd spread
out along the wharves and docks 10 the
north for nearly a mile At a conserv-
alive estimate there were fully 5000
people on the wharyes, twice as many
as had assembled TO bid adieu to any
preceding steamer,> showing that far
from abating, the Klondyke fever is
more virulent than ever. In addition
to her passengers the Mexico carried
some 1880 tons of freight, consisting
almost entirely of the outfits of the
goldseekers. She had on board 4S
horses to be used in packing these sup
