SHERMAN TO SALISBURY.
Sharp Note Said TO Have Been Sent

on the Seal Question.
The Washington correspondent or a
Chicago daily asserts that official corre-
spondence is about to be submitted to con-
Egress which includes a dispatch sent by
|Secretary Sherman to Ambassador Hay,
dated May 10, for submission to Lord
Salisbury, insinuating that England has
been guilty of bad faith in carrying out
the terms of the Paris seal award. The
correspondent says:
"There is no doubt that the publication
of this dispatch will cause resentment in
England. 1t was really the work of Mr..
Foster and Mr.. Hamlin jointly. l learn
that the administration is very proud Of
the dispatch, and believe that it will be re-
.ceived in the United States with the same
popular approval as greeted Mr.. Olney's
Venezuela dispatch. Lord Salisbury has
not yet replied"

MINERS STRIKE IS ON.
Success Of the Struggle Depends on
the Pittsburg District

the PittsDurg District.
A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa, July 5
says: The success Of the struggle for
higher wages in five states depends on the
miners in the Pittsburg district. If they
fail to refrain from working the movement
will be a failure. Fully 100 mines were
represented at the miners convention on
Saturday by seventy five delegates. This
Is larger attendance than at any conven-
ton since the great strike of 1884, The
resolution adopted was strong enough for
emergency. A resolution was also adopted
requesting Gov. Hastings to sign the
passed the legislature and are now before
him.
One Of the significant points about the
convention Saturday was the fact that no
representatives were present from the
mines where ironclad contracts and signed
agreements exist.
A strong effsrt is being made to get the
cooperation of the river miners in the
coming fight. The operators are making
no efforts to conciliate tho miners. Not an
operator can be found who will not say
that the miners are entitled to what they
demand, 60 cents a ton. No effort will be
made to operate fhe mines unless it should
be the river mines, hence no trouble is an
ticipated.
The officials Of the United Mine Work
ars of the Pttsburg district held a meet
ing Sunday and heard reports from various
parts of the district. Each Of these indi
Gated that the men would quit work. The
question OF securing sustenance for the
vast army Of idle men is the most serious
question confronting the officials. The
organization has no money in its treasury.
Thaminers have been unable to save any
thing and only those who have little gor-
den patches will be able to live independ-
emily during the cessation of work.

Ahthe time the steamer Warrimoo left

Ing editorially on the matter, says that the

nexation issue as the only means to de-
feat the rapacious schemes of the sugar

PARDON FOR THE YOUNGERS

Famous Outlaws.

Efforts to Secure Freedom for tho
Famous Outlaws.
The effort to secure the pardon OF the
Younger boys for the part they took in the
famous Mortified raid of score of years
ago made by the James gang has taken
such shape that it is to be formally brought
before the Minnesota state board of par
dons at its meeting on July II. Cole and
Jim Younger have served twenty one
years in the penitentiary at Sullwater--a
period as long as the average life sentence,
and powerful influence in their behalf is
to be exerted. Cole is So and jim is 40. In
anticipation of the effort for pardon, Cole
has decided to break his silence and re-
serve on the subject of the raid steadily
maintained ever since his capture, and
will make a statement before the board.
He will disclose the part he and Jim played
IN tho raid and attempt to show that the
blood of Cashier Haywood is not on his
hands.
Their friends seem to be legion and very
influential. The petition is signed by
nearly all the members of congress from
Missouri, senators and eX-senators, the
legislature of that state almost to Il man,
judges of the supreme court, governor
and ex-governors, and host of prominent
citizens throughout the state having no
utilization with politics. More than that,
leading residents of Missouri have de-
clared their willingness to sign bond to
the amount of million dollars, ii neces-
sary, guaranteeing that the Youngers will
conduct themselves as honest men and
good citizens during the balance of their

turing him, the men took him into the

kept hidden. At midnight he was taken
quietly to Union, the county seat, and
placed in Jail to await trial.
