Tho MinerS' Strike

Fairmont, w. Va, July PA house
to house missionary work is being done
by the miners tonight and will be con-
tinued till Monday morning. Debs,
Mahon and McRea, all address meet
ings tomorrow and they expect to have
the large majority of the men in the
region out Monday. If this project
fails all the organizers will leave this
district and an effort will be made to
stop the running Of coal trains. In
stead of marching on the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal Company
mines as first determined on by the
miners, the executive board at spe-
cial meeting this evening decided to
make a legal test Of the new state
mining law. 1t is claimed that Mr.. De
Armitt's miners are being worked in
violation of this law, and suits will be
entered and pushed with unusual vigor.
According to the new law, if an oper-
ator does not have his coal weighed be-
fore it goes over a screen he is guilty
of a misdemeanor and subject to a
fine of not less than 800 nor more than
$500 or imprisonment not to exceed
ninety days or both in the discretion Of
the court for each Offense.

especial TO The Messenger.D
New York. July 24.-Nothing Of Inn
p0rtance has developed TO affect the
cotton market this week and pricrs
show no net change OF moment An
In the early part OF the week they de-
clined sharply, but In the last twu
days they have been very strong sud
have recovered the entire loss. The
week closed with the shrewdest Judges
more puzzled than ever to determiue
what the immediate future OF the mar
ket should be. Today there was LITTLE
doing. Liverpool was practically un-
changed and the opening here was 5
points lower on August, and about thu
same as last nights figures on the 9TH
er months. In the first hour there was
no pressure and the market advanced
August was the leader Toward the
close local bulls were selling and part
OF the improvement was lost. January
opened at 1.01, advanced to 10, de-
clined to 7.OS and closed at 7.0s to s-09-
with the tone of the market quiet and
steady. Although our crop accounts
are not as uniformly favorable AZ they
have been, they are satisfactory ana
the continued prevalence OF dry wealth
er in Texas Is the only menace as yea
TO an enormous yield. There Is no gem
eral speculation, but sentiment strong
ly favOrs a higher market. The bulls
are confident and claim a very large
crop will be readily consumed at high
er prices. Stocks and wheat have bOth
had good booms and they predict that
cotton will be the next TO enjoy one
1t is certain that with the world SD
bare of cotton, the early rush OF sup
plies will fail to have it's usual force
aS q depressing influence on pricea-
Good times and good business are con-
hdently expected on all sides and this
should encourage those who are friend
ly to cotton. For ourselves we believe
that whatever the market may do he
tween now and the time that the new
crop will be at Its greatest rush to
market, these prices will not then look
cheap. At the same time we recoE-
nfxe that sentiment Is against any de-
cline and we advise caution in selling
short except on good advances.
RIORDAN & CO.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, July 24.-The cotton mar
ket developed a good deal OF irregu-
Iarity today, chiefly resulting from
the course OF August contracts, which
opened at a decline OF points and
made a narrow rally OF 10 points. while
the rest OF the list, following the open
ing call, worked within a range OF 6
points. After selling from 7.43 to 7.sl.
August sold off to 7.47 but not with
out xig-zag action, which led to- y
more or less current belief that manip-
ulattOn. more than any other infiu-
ence, might be at work. 1t was claimed
that the rise was caused by a demand
from consumers. The market closed
quiet and steady with prices finally
points lower to points higher. Sales
were 43, 400 bales.

Question as to When Tariff Bill Goes Into
Effect

Washington, July 24.-The question
of the day and hour when the new tar
iff law will go into operation if signed
by the president before II o'clock to-
night has been raised at the treasury
department Information has been
received that a vessel laden with sugar
has been sighted off the capes and
probably will enter the harbor at Phil
adelphia during the afternoon. Anoth-
er vessel with cargo of wool is in
Boston harbor and other vessels SINH
larly laden are expected to arrive dur
ing the day. The question is new
one so far as tariff bills are concerned.
The matter has been considered by
the treasury officials and it is very
probable that they will hold that the
new act went into effect at II o'clock
last night. The department, however,
has ten days before final liquidation in
which to determine the question and
no action is likely to be taken before
the last of next week at the earliest.

England and the Bimetallic Conference

London, July PA definite answer
is expected from the British govern
ment within the next few days to the
proposal of the United States and
France for a bimetallic conference.
The United States bimetallic COM
missioners are confident that the invi-
tation will be accepted, bat the move
ment meets with the solid opposition Of
British capitalists, who argue that the
British financial system is satisfactory
and that the government should not
be called upon to assist other govern
snents that may be in distress. The on
ly argument which weighs with them
in favor of conference Is the fear
that unless International action is
taken for the coinage of silver the free
silver party will succeed in the United
States and bring On financial panic,
in which British investments would
suffer. AA isAs sc
