SITUATION IN WEST VA.
Of the $4,000 Miners, 10000 are Idle
AT Work at Fairmont.

Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. 1.-State
Labor Commissioner Isaac Barton of
Wheeling has just returned after an
extended trip through the coal fields of
the state. He was detailed for this
work by Governor Atkinson, who was
anxious to know the exact situation
without the discoloration of either
striker or operator. The commissioner
spent eight days in his investigation,
covering the ,Fairmon, New River
and Kanawha fields.
OF the %. 600 miners of the state he
finds that 10000 are idle. OF these A.
coo are New River men and 1000 Kan
awha miners In both regions the sus-
pension is practically complete, fully 85
per cent of the miners being on a strike.
In the New River region the operators
are making an attempt to get out coal.
On the Norfolk & Western road, in the
southern part of the state, the commits
sioner says little coal is being produced.
The only field in the state where the
strike is not becoming effective is at
Fairmont where the daily shipments
of coal amount to 325 cars. $500 tons.
This production is divided as follows
Montana mines, 80 cars; New England
and Watson mines, 80 cars; Mononga-
hela, 50 cars; other mines on the MonOn-
gahela, 100 cars.
In the Kanawha valley not more than
1000 of the 5000 miners are at work.
Commissioner Barton leaves tomorrow
morning for Fairmont, where he will
make further investigation of the sit

Reliable Reports Show That Untold
| Misery and Hardship Exist.

Vancouver, B. c.. Sept. IA letter
has been received here from Henry
Behnson, who left here for the Yukon
via Skaguay with a well equipped party
in July. The party consisted of eight,
but one grew faint hearted under the
hardships and returned.
They had reached the summit on Au-
gust % and expected to arrive on Stew
art river before winter sets in Dead
horses are reported along the trail, and
at one spot, where their party lost one
horse through falling over a precipice,
six horses were killed in the same day.
Two men were caught stealing and
were shot.
Large numbers of people are turning
back and outfits can be purchased
cheaply but he advises no one to go
up depending on purchasing outfits. He
says horses are an absolute necessity.
Ex-Sergeant Haywood of the police
force here, who went up to Dawson
City in the spring, says in a letter that
God only knows what will become of
the crowds now heading this way"

ON A GOLD BASIS.
India is Forced to Join the Gold
Standard Procession.

London, Sept. 1.-The following notice
was posted on the Bank of England to-
day:
1.-The secretary of state for India, in
council gives notice that the sale of
bills of exchange on Calcutta, Bombay
and Madras, has been suspended for a
period of not less than ten weeks
The government has very little money
in India to draw on, owing to the fam
inc and the plague having rendered the
collection of taxes slow. The present
time may be opportune to accustom the
Indians to the use of gold instead of sill
yer, though it would not have been at
tempted had not the scarcity of money
arisen. The Daily Telegraph anticipat-
ing the action of the Indian council said
today:
1.-The council may refuse to draw al
together, thus sending exchange up to
the gold point and render possible the
establishment of the gold standard in
India.
The action of the Indian council has
attracted but the slightest notice in the
afternoon newspapers and has not af-
fected the rate of exchange, which is
normal
The Westminster Gazette. comment
ing on the subject, says: 1.-THE decision
was altogether unexpected, being the
outcome of the financial situation in
India"

New York, Sept. Limited States
Senator Benjamin r. Tillman of South
Carolina, addressed political meeting
last night at Ridgewood park, Brook
1yn, under the auspices of silver Dem
ocratic organizations. Five thousand
people were present and the senator
received a rousing reception as soon as
he entered the gates. An improvised
platform was erected at one end of the
big dancing pavilion at the rear of the
grounds. Senator Tillman made a char
acteristic speech. He said in part:
1.-The Democracy went down before
the corporations, but so surely as the
people are true to themselves, true to
Democracy, so surely will William Jen-
nings Bryan in 1900 be swept into the
presidents chair.
UNLESS the people of this country
take their affairs into their own hands,
instead OF allowing millionaires and
capitalists to legislate for them they
will pretty shortly have the militia and
the United States soldiers at their
throats, just as you see the militia and
the soldiers of the United States ready
to spring at the throats of the miners
in the coal regions, and to- shoot them
down. If you want to preserve this re-
public, you've got to wake up.

Francis NJ. Hatch, minister to Wash

information which will require the at

The lawmakers will be asked to rat
ify the annexation treaty recently re-
signed in Washington and as a major
ity of the members favor annexation,
the matter will be rushed through.
A senator is authority for the state
ment that Minister Hatch brought word
from President Mckinley that he had
resolved to call congress two months
earlier than usual for the purpose of
disposing of the treaty before the reg
ular session, and this theory appears
to find favor with other senators.

My grandfather went forth from Co

WILL He UPSET 1T?
Cy Leland May TrampIe the Civil
Service Law Under Foot.

Cyrus Leland is in charge of the pen
sion office. He took formal charge last
evening and now occupies the main
the Crawford building, which has been
used by Ex-Governor George w. Click
for four years.
There was no ceremony attending the
transfer. Governor Click simply got
up and walked out after welcoming his
successor and Mr.. Leland took his
place. The pension agent really has
very little to do with the office. The
clerks and it will not worry the Troy
statesman to any extent to familiarize
himself with the simple duty of draw
ing his salary.
There will probably be changes in
the pension office. Mr.. Leland is mum
on that subject, but that is 10 be ex-
pected. 1t is rather a serious matter
tionS by virtue of an established rule
which says that they shall not be dis
missed except for cause, and Mr. Le-
land is naturally backward about say
ing what he will do.
1t is rumored that the clerks who
may be discharged are laying plans to
bring personal actions against the pen
on account of their discharge. The
clerks are not saying anything about
this, however.
1t is reasonably certain that Frank
Flenniken is to be given a place in the
Office. Mrs. j. b. Brown of Hutchin-
son is also said to be slated for place.
Mark Miller and other clerks under
Pension Agent Kelly who were dis
charged by Agent Click will ask to be
reinStated.
