JOHN Sherman CRITICISED
THE LONDON PRESS HIGHLY IN
CENSED OVER THE SECRE-
TARY's LATEST REMARKS.
ACCUSED JOHN BULL OF BLUFF|NG
England Was Quick to Quarrel,
But Slow to Fight, Hence the
Journalistic Wrath.

London. Aug. 9.-Commenting on the
interview of the New York World with
Secretary Sherman, the st. James Ga
zettc this afternoon says:
Secretary Sherman's utteranccs af-
ford no material for denial by his friends
that he is suffering from senile decay.
But. after all, Mr.. Sherman represents
America, and we are all certain all in
tcrnational courtcsies will be Observed
Continuing, the St James Gazette re-
fers to the Kaln0ky incident. when, it
ic relations with Great Britain until
Mr.. Gladstone apologizcd for his attack
on the dual monarchy, and asks why
there is one law in Europe and another
in America. In conclusion. the St.
James Gazette repeats its recent warm
ing that this is "A dangerous line of pol
icy to follow and that some day Great
Britain may call upon Washington to
back up her bluffs.
The Westminster Gazette, referring to
the same matter, remarks this after
noon:
THE interview is fruity example of
Sherman's salon style"
The Globe, on this subject, says:
"Secretary Sherman had better rid
himself of the idea that Uncle Sam is
going to boss the show, either on the
gold fields or in the fisheries. We are
not ready to follow every quarrel but
when we strike, we strike hard. and the
idea of our being afraid of a third-ratc
naval power like the United States could
have occurred only to Il lunatic or to
Mr.. Sherman. Judging from his latest
performances, we may charitably as
sumo that the rumors that Mr.. Sherman
is suffering from mental disturbances are
correct
The uttcranccs attributed to Secretary
Sherman upon which the comment of
the London press is based were as fol-
lows:
England is great country, but it is
always safe TO assume that she is not
ready to follow up every quarrel with
blows. She quarrcls Oftener than she
fights. 1t would be exceedingly difficult
to fight us alone about our seal catch
ing. Russia and Japan are in Il similar
position, and any quarrel between the
United States and England on this score
would in all probability involve those
twO countries -

STRIKERS JUBILANT.
Diggers In the Wheeling District
Are Dropping Their Picks.

Wheeling, Aug. 9.-Matters took n
turn today in the Wheeling district. and
the miners are feeling encouraged TO-
night. This morning small army of
miners from Moundsville and Benwood
gathered at the works of the Glendale
company, eight miles below the city, and
soon induced the working miners ut that
plant to come out to man. This after
noon the Elm Grove miners promised to
go out If the Boggs' Run miners would
make the same promise. The army
then disbanded, with instructions to
meet at the mouth of Boggs' Run mine
at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning, when
the other miners will be seen and their
promise to stay out will be secured. 1t
is anticipated this effort to cause a gen.
eral suspension in the Wheeling district
will meet with success.
The Weathering mine men today
joined the strike too. The men at the
w. II. Gee mines declined to join. A.
demonstration against the w. II. Gee
mines may take place Tuesday, but it is
more likely to occur later in the week.
With the w. Il. Gee and Boggs' Run
mines shut down, all the mines in this
section on both banks of the Ohio will

Posts CabIegram.

New York, Aug. THE Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says.
The London money market hardened
today nearly | per cent on the fall in
New York exchange. There was very
large forward business in American
bills. With reference to the 4,30000O
pounds japanese loan recently raised
here, this sum will be transferred to the
japanese government in three nearly
equal installments. the first on August
23, the second month later. and the
third in the last week in September
This is not yet known here, and it will
help make discount rise. Americans
were very strong here today, but still
mainly on continued continental and
New York buying. Professional opera
tors here are getting short turns out of
the market. but the public realizations
far exceed the buying.

Memphis. Aug. 9.-Will Johnson. n
self-confessed incendiary and murderer,
was brought here yesterday from Gov
ington. Tenn. to escape lynching.
Some time ago Johnson robbed his en-
ployer's house. and then set fire to it
to hide his crime. Thinking that Boyd
suspected him of starting the fire. the
negro conceived the idea of numbering
Boyd. He did this in the most cold
blooded manner, calling the young man
from his house when he was talking
with his family an shooting him down,
using Il shotgun. Boyd's brains were
blown out by the charge from the ne
gro's gun.

Ottumwa. Ia, Aug. 9.--At meeting
of the Iowa miners here today it was
decided not to strike in sympathy with
the eastern miners, but it was voted to
assess all the men % cents per week for
their aid. The meeting was poorly at
tended, only one-fourth of the miners
of the state being represented.
The agitators from Illinois worked
hard to get the men to declare a strike.
hut the men decided they could do no
good in ordering a strike with such a
small number, and passed IA resolution
ordering notices to be sent out to all
camps in the state for another meeting
at Oskuloosa. August 10. If twO-tbirds
of the miners in the state signify their
intention of sending delegates the meet
ing will be heidi if not, it will be called
off. 1t is very probable that the meet
ing will not occur, and that each camp
will settlerits own scale and grievances
with the. operators. 1
