MINING SITUATION.

Pittsburg, Pa. July 29.-.There were
5000 striking miners in attendance at
the meeting called for this morning
and before the meeting was well ad-
vanced there 5000 present. The speak
ers urged all the men to come out and
quit work. Two hundred deputies
sheriff are on guard at the Plum creek
mines.
When the strikers reached Plum
creek and started on a run down the
road toward Triple to catch the men
before they entered the mine, five shots
were fired from Winchesters held by
the deputies. In reply to this the
drum corps struck up lively air but
no return shots were fired. The min,
ers who were hurrying into the pits
were overtaken and asked not to go
10 work. Most of them said they were
afraid they would lose their jobs if
they stayed away from work to at
tend the meeting andthey decided after
a short parley to go into the mine.
The miners were carrying dinner buck
cts. AS they turned to leave the strik-
ers their dinner buckets were taken
from them.

DON'T WORRY, FRENCHY

New York, July 2s.-The Herald's
European edition publishes the follow
ing:
The Figaro has an article on the Ha-
waiian question which concludes as
follows:
ut is very probable that an amicable
settlement will be reached between
Japan and the United States and that
this arrangement will recognize the
previous rights of japan in the archi-
pelago. The United States Will most
likely back down on the most import
ant points. But what are we to think
of the sacrifices the Americans would
have to make if it should ever happen
that the ranting of their jingoes or
the calculations of their spectators
should give rise to real conflict with
a European power even of the second
rank"

HEATED TIMES.

Down in Peru it's Almost as Bad as
over in Spain.
New York, July pa special to the
Herald from Lima, Peru, says:
Several exciting incidents have mark
ed the attempts to open the Peruv-
ian congress. AS yet there has been
no quorum and just now it seems that
the differences which have arisen may
definitely postpone the session.
The deputies, who are government
supporters, in order to avoid defeat
by the opposition in the election of a
president of the chamber, retired be-
fore the session was called to order.
This action on their part causer Dep
uty Durand to condemn in severe terms
what he called the palace intriques."
Great applause from his followers
followed his vigorous attack on the
government.
Deputy Durand with several friends,
started to leave the, chamber few
minutes later. When they appeared
in the street they were attacked by a
crowd of Democrats that had gathered.
Stones and sticks were hurled at them
and for time a serious riot seemed
imminent.
Finally Deputy Durand and his party
reached the Hotel France where they
sought refuge. The crowd then sur
rounded the hotel and tried to force a
way in. This was only prevented by
the proprietor who stood in the door
way with the French flag and demand
ed protection for himself and property
in the name of France. The police
then dispersed the crowd.
The Peruvian press all censure the
conduct of the police, who they de-
clare only arrested those gentlemen
who interfered in behalf of Deputy Du-
rand. One newspaper demands the
resignation of the chief of police.

Houston 6, San Antonio 4. That
wouldn't appear very encouraging to
San Antonio rooter, with the game
about over. But that's how it was in
the ninth inning of the second game of
the Houston-San Antonio series, which
was played in Houston yesterday.
But Mike was, not uneasy.
The Bronchos had another time at
bat. The team had been hitting all
the afternoon, but without effect, and
1t was only a matter of time when
they would hit it for keeps.
The ninth arrived; our last chance.
Five TO tie and six to beat.
Pretty steep hopes, there. But as
long as the Bronchos are on their feet,
there is hope.
Now this is not meant for cutters,
pessimists or knockers.
Hope was realized.
Five big juicy runs in the ninth on a
base on balls, an error, two singles
and pair Of doubles.
Now do you know what Broncho ball
is?
Bet Yewst'n knows.
The score was tie with the home
team to the bat for the tenth round
rather tenth inning-but really this is
about as exciting as prize fight.
Houston shut out and everybody
stretch.
Santone at the bat.
One out.
George Keefe up.
Bang On the trademark.
Nobody there and the little ball rolls
on, while Keefe keeps agoing till he
reaches third base.
Only ninty feet from home and no.
body at the bat but Charlie Weber.
zone BALI" Umpire Mackey shouted
as Pitcher Stultz was serving the bus
mess manager. The next one was over
and Weber struck at it. 1t was a slow
hit to the infield.
But 1t was this hit that scored the
run, which won the game.
Gilpatriek pitched for San Antonio
and was hit safely twelve times while
the Bronchos hit Stultz equally as
hard. 49,,
There were nine errors in the game,
FIVE of which are credited to San An
tonic. But it was a good game-of
course, not for Houston.
Funny, though, that San Antonio
won that game without the umpire's
assistance.
George Keefe had his eye on the ball
and in five times up got three hits,
two being triples.
When Dallas Browns play here next
week, George Blackburn will be with
them, for he Joined them yesterday.
He has undoubtedly brought a few
tricks from Baltimore with him, but
he can't spring them a bit too soon on
the Bronchos, and it is hoped that he
will show us some National league
pitching. We will then show him some
Texas league hitting. o..

nisht-A Fine Band Will Furnish Music
and There Will be a Grand Ball-A
Splendid Supper Will be Served.

Mr.. George CampbelPs elegant new
hotel, which opened informally a few
days ago, has already demonstrated its
claim to popularity and starts off on
a rapid pace in the establishment of
a reputation that will sweep from here
to the Mississippi. The names of fifty
guests decorated the register on Sun
day and they speak in eXtravagant
terms of the appointments of the hotel
and it's delightfulness, are f1attering in
their praise of the fare, and are enthu-
siastic" over the admirable hospitality
that Mr.. Campbell dispenses at this
hosiery by the sea.
Mr.. Campbell has now completed the
equipment of his hotel, and the formal
opening will take place tonight. A
magnificent supper will be the first fea-
ture, and afterwards there will be a
grand ball. The best band in the state
will furnish music. and the occasion
will be one long to be remembered by
all who go down to the "%opening."
On account Of this event there will
be a late train from the beach. There
is no gainsaying that a great crowd
will go down, and that there will be a
gay time at the "SeaShore'' on this Oc-
casiOn.
