ARBITRATION MAY WIN.

Possibility That the Joint Conference May
Reach an agreement.
, P1TTsRURCi, July 14.-There is a bare
possibility that the joint arbitration
conference may yet lead to the terlnina-
ton Of the miners strike on the basis of
the "true uniformity" agreement pro-
posed by President Dcarmitt of the New
York and Cleveland Gas company last
year, but which failed for the reason
that 81 per cent Of tho operators i'll this
district required by Dearmitt could not
be secured. Two sessions of the arbi-
tration board were held during the day,
representatives from the states of Penn
sylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana
and Illinois being present. At the
afternoon session President Dearmitt
said:
eff the operators of the Pittsburg dis
trict will abolish oheir company stores,
use q uniform screen, give honest
weight, 1900 pounds Of coal for ton,
and pay cash every two weeks, will
leave it to any committee to settle the
price Of mining and pay it, no matter
how high, providing all my competi-
tors pay the same price. Unless these
conditions can be brought about I will
not agree to abolish the contract with
my men nor can I afford to do so.''

RUSHING IN RAW WOOL.

Importations of the Past -Four Months
Amount to 227,OOo,OOO Pounds.
WASHINGTON, July l4.-Reports re-
ceived at the treasury department show
that the importations Of raw wool at
Boston, New York and Philadelphia,
which ports enter about 80 per cent OF
all the wool brought into the United
States, amounted during June to 80, SS1,-
rs pounds, 1886, $50 pounds more than
for June, 1896. The heavy movement
in raw wool began in March of this
year, and during that month the aggre-
gate importations were 54,676,SS2
pounds. During April the amount
reached 95, 559, 1888 pounds. In May the
aggregate was 43,948,6S5 pounds, and
the importations for the month of June
bring the aggregate for the last four
months up to 7,462,225 pounds, as
compared with 48, 1881 pounds for the
corresponding months last year.

Miners Strike t.8I. !. I
Operators Quietly Planning to
Import Men and Put

Strikers Will Resort to Every
!. Means to Defeat Such ! =
q Scheme. KID Z

PITTsBURe, July 14.-The proverbial
calm before the storm is likely to be car
ried out in the miners strike situation.
Throughout the day everything in the
district had q peaceful look-all the
mines but two Or three were closed
down and both operators and miners
appeared to be resting on their oars, as
it were. It develops, however, that a
number of the operators have been
quietly planning to equip the mines
with machines and do away with a
great many diggers. When the mines
are ready to start miners will be i'm
ported and put to work under heavy
guard. With the cooperation OF the
other operators, J. A. Beidler Of the
Webster Gas Coal company, located on
the Monongahela river, will take the
initiative.
The operators claim this plan becomes
necessary because the West Virginia
people are gobbling all their contracts.
1T goes without saying that the diggers
4 will resort to every possible means to
prevent the carrying out Of the proposed
scheme. From present appearances the
Sickle Hollow tragedy Of '94, when Sow
eral striking miners were killed, is likely
to be repeated soon. A movement is
also on foot among the strikers along
the Panhandle to march to the Boone
and Allison mines and compel the min
ers there to quit work. If these threats
are carried out there will probably be a
repetition of the bloody scenes that
characterized the closing days Of the
strike of 1894

NO AGREEMENT YET.

Tariff Conferees Cannot Get Together on
lie Sugar and Wool.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-The repre-
sentatives of the two houses Of congress
in the conference on the tariff bill spent
busy day, devoted for the most part to
work in the conference room. There
were occasional consultations with
other senators or members of the house
upon points at issue, but these were
brief, SO that comparative little infor-
nation as to the progress made found
it's way to outsiders. It is known that
almost the entire day was devoted to
the sugar and wool schedules, and the
best information obtainable is that q
final agreement was not reached upon
either.

DANv1LLE, Ind, July 14.-Strife be
tween the union and non-union miners
has commenced in this district. About
400 or 500 Belgian strikers and other
foreigners gathered at the Pawnee mine
and when cage full of colored miners,
who had been at work, reached the top
of the shaft they were assaulted with
different kinds of-weapons. Shots were
fired wounding several strikers. This
Infatuated the striking miners and they
retaliated by all exchange Of shots, at
the same time retreating to the woods.
Later the strikers attacked q train OH
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois carry
ing miners to the city. The miners in
side the coaches opened fire and about
so shots were exchanged. 1t is reported
that one miner was killed.

NEW YORK, July IA dispatch to
The World from London says: The in
sue story OF Senator Wolcott's L.lnetal'
lie commission is one of absolute fail
ure. The general impression among
those in a position to know is that the
reports of success in France have been
circulated in order to reconcile the
American public to the expenditure OF
large sums of money without result.
The principal Paris newspapers have
referred to the commission in terms in
which, while conforming to the rules OF
artificial Gallo courtesy, have been not
far from ridicule.
M. Hanotaux himself is authority for
the statement that the Wolcott mission
absolutely failed and could not be &C
comphshed by any one. He speaks
highly of the members Of the commits

ST.. PAUL, July 14.-Cole and Jim
Younger, the Northfeld bank robbers,
must stay in prison. Late yesterday
afternoon, after two-days' hearing OF
arguments for and against their release,
the state board of pardons decided
unanimously to deny the petition.
The board of pardons is composed OF
Governor Clough, Chief Justice Start

That there was suspicion that Cole
Younger was more loyal to his pals
than to his country and his religion was
apparent from Mr.. Keyes' talk. Other
speakers against granting a pardon
were A. L. Reyes, county attorney OF
Rice county; w. R. Estes of Madelia,
and Harry Gress of Northfeld.
Among the pardons granted was a
communication of sentence in the case of
Lewis Kellihan, the Sherburne bank
robber, who is under sentence of death.
He will go to Saltwater for life.

PRICE OF ARMOR PLATE.

Senate Amendment Limits the Cost to
1890 Per Ton.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-The price to
be paid for armor plate for the three
new battleships now in course Of con-
struction was the theme of extended,
and, at times, lively debate in the SEN
ate. Late in the day an amendment to
the deficiency appropriation bill was
agreed to restricting the price of armor
plate to $500 per ton, or 1926 less than
the amendment reported by the COM
mittee and recommended by the navy
department. as the minimum rate &C.
ceptable to the armor contractors
Another amendment inserted in the bill
directed the secretary Of the; navy to in
vestigate as to the establishment of a
government armor factory and to report
to the next session of congress-.
During the debate Mr.. Hale urged
that the failure to equip the battleships
with armor would humiliate the United
States In, the eyes Of the world and
would lessen our naval power at time
Of possible foreign complication. After
inserting the armor amendments, the
deficiency appropriation bill, the last OF
the great supply measures, was passed.
