Since Saturday the coal strike has
assumed very grave aspect. but a
full realization of the change did not
reach Cleveland operators until
Tuesday Excepting a few opera

lightly of the matter, and loudly de
clare that there was coal on hand

country regardless Of the outcome

But all this seeming or pretended

believe the West Virginia miners
will come out, and that will make
the tie,up complete.
The strikers will then concentrate
all their efforts on the De Armitts
men. 4 small amount of coal is now
coming from the mines along the
Pennsylvania main line, and from
the coke regions, but it is in com
paratively insignificant quantities.
! think it will be shut of entirely
very soon. From what | could learn
at Pittsburg, / do not hesitate to
say that in my belief the railroads
will hesitate TO haul West Virginia
and De .hrmitts mines coal.
The supply OF coal on hand is
very short, and / look for another
sharp advance in price shortly. Sat
urday coal, which was loaded at
Pittsburg at 81. 80, is now Sl.13. De
livered at Cleveland, $3.50 is the
price. Chicago is buying freely and
paying high prices. do not think
the supply will bold out more than
a week longer.

before, he told the Sheriff, his prize bronze
gobbler had been stolen. Aroused by the
outcrles of the bird he had fastened 10
the rescue, but was driven back by gum
shots. The thieves had come in car
riage. the tracks of which came toward
Phoenix.
The boys, Ellers and UtZ who had been
suspected Of other depredations, were also
suspected OF this one. Constable BECK
went out to interview Utz and found the
lad with a knife and big revolver on his
person. A charge OF carrying concealed
weapons was dged against him Tor the
time being. Young Ellers was arrested
the same dav in Riverside. He threw his
coat away when the officer took hod OF
him. The coat was recovered ana 1ound 10
contain q 32-cali Der revolver.
Utz is the SON and mainstay OF re-
spectacle widow of this city, while Ellers
is the son of a Riverside clergyman.
Ellers recently joined the local brigade of
the Salvation Army, but soon left the
army because, as he explained 1t, there
were "too many tough and GiSreputable
characters in the ranks"
Since the arrest of the boys they have
confessed to the bronze turkey theft and
to the stealing OF 600 new grainsacks from
O'Connor & ColtreIl. The sacks were sold
TO Hollenbeck's hay and grain store. The
boys have been hiring a horse and car
riage from Sloan's livery stable at 81 a
nignt, and it was very poor night with
them when they did not return with at
least 100 per cent increase over and above
cost OF ammunition and all expenses.
Both the boys have been sentenced to six
months imprisonment in the County Jail.

PHGRiX'S y0UNG ROBBERS.
Capture of Two Boys Who Committed
Nightly Depredations Through
out the Valley.

PHOENIX, ARIz., July 30.-The GRIM
inal careers of two very promising youth
full desperadoes have been cut short by
Constable John Beck. The young free
hooters were Henry Ellers and Jesse Utz,
both aged fifteen years. They have been
ravaging turkey-p pens, grain warehouses
and private dwellings. For a couple of
months the people in the valley have been
complaining of turkey thieves in rarticu-
lar and thieves that have stolen every
thing loose in general. The thieves
operated in the dark hours and were al
ways armed. Several tragedies have mar
rowly missed issue in the several cases
where the proprietors OF portable mer-
chandise have caught the robbers in the
act and tried to drive them off empty
handed. Shots have been exchanged and
the thieves have escaped in the darkness.
A few days ago two boys delivered q
consignment OF turkeys at the North and
South restaurant and negotiated for the
sale of nam moth gobbler, which they es-
timated would weigh thirty-tive pounds.
On Thursday morning the turkey was
brought in. It was m magnihcent bronze

WHEAT AND PROSPERITY
4 Close Canvass of the FMl-Rarvest
farms of the Great Middle
West.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 30.-After
travelling over 1900 miles of Western rail-
roads to personally study their condi-
tions, President ingalls, of the Big Four
and Chesapeake and Ohio roads said to-
night:
"Not in the memory of the oldest in
habitant of the Middle West has there
been such a crop of hay. The wheat crop,
while not as large, is Of as fine quality
as ever produced. OF corn there will be
an abundance and of oats galore. Fat cattle
are in demand and hogs are bringing
good prices.
During the past four years plenty OF
business has been done. The trouble has
been men got little or nothing for doing
business. Now then, If the farmer, who
is the source of all production, has some
thing 10 sell, and if be gets a fair price for
it, and thus be able 10 pay fair price for
what he wants, money will be put in
circulation according to natural law, and
according TO the same natural law pros
perity must follow.
''As if nature had taken particular COM
passion on the distress of our people, the
wheatfelds of other countries, which have
usually borne abundant harvests, have
this year Jailed to bear crops OF any size,
or crops that have promised we'll have
been visited by blight of some kind. If
the world is TO have any wheat this year
the granaries of the United States must
supply IT.
1.-The present high price of wheat will
lead to economy in its use. This will
tend to increase the price OF all other
preadstuffs. But when corn is high, cat
tie are high. Cattle and grain include
about all the farmers products worth
mentioning. The price of wheat to-day
is an earnest of what the growers of grain
will receive for their products. Therefore
prosperity must be in store for the farmer,
and through him for the country.
During my trip took particular pa
thence to talk with every body, from boot
blacks to mine-owners. Even those who
voted the Popocratic ticket last fall adj
mitted that things were looking up, and
with good times in sight Mckinley is Just
as good Moses as Bryan would have
been. 1 found that the farmers, without
exception, had come to the conclusion
that wheat at 20 cents bushel, with the
demand Tor the other prod ucts OF fields
and cattle, is a better nostrum than free
silver. In short, found that Bryan and
free silver must have another boost or will
die from lack OF adver tisement and sleep
in forgotten graves

Official Confirmation of
the Proposed Action
of Japan.
But the AcquiesCence Is Said
to Be Conditional and May
Be Withdrawn.
Officials of the Mikado's Realm De
sire 1t Clearly Stated What Is
to Be ArbItrated.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., July 30.-Oficial
information by telegraph from Toxic to
the Japanese legation confirms the recent
Yokohama cablegram to The CALL that
Japan had consented to aCbitrage with
: Hawaii. But acquiescence is conditional,
and it is not absolutely certain that an ar
bitration agreement will be made. The
tele gram TO the legation said that Japan
had consented TO arbitrate pending ques-
tions with Hawaii on terms specified in a
Communication now on lis way from Japan
TO its Minister at Honolulu.
e; That is all the officials at the legation
know of the matter, but they construe the
telegram to mean that Japan is willing 10
arbitrate, but desires to have it clearly
stated in advance what is to be arbitrated,
the method 10 be employed and the name
OF the arbitrators. The offer OF the Ha-
waiian Minister of Foreign Affairs was
general proposition 10 submit the pend
ing differenc ces to arbitration, giving no
explicit idea of what is TO be arbitrated.
The agreement of the Japanese and Ha-
waiian governments to arbitrate will have
nodireet bearing on the points at issue
between: the United States and Japan.
There: is no. doubt. however, of Japan
showing a kindly spirit throughout the
whole Hawaiian business and the officials
of this Government are hopeful the clouds
will soon clear away.

that officials had assured the Japanese
Minister that they would not assume any
authority in, the present controversy and
that the Minister thereupon informed the
officials that Japan would send four war
ships to Hawaii is pronounced utterly
