will take steps to induce the county

Economy is their argument, and
there is no doubt that poor farm
would prove more economical There

why they are not larger, unless those
who remain away, do SO under the ex-
cuse2 that they are exemplary christ

their.associates. In either case, their
duty is the more great, as they are
the ones that unbelieve hold up for
examples, and by not coming out to
attend meetings of their own doc

THE STATE OF TRADE.
Large Crops Hold Out Strong En-
enlargement.

New York, July 2.-Dun's Review Of
Trade will SAY tomorrow:
The midsummer vacations have com.
menced with many industries Mt work on
more orders than is usual at this season.
n some iron and cotton works wages
have been reduced owins to the low
prices on products. Large hopes are hnilr
on big prospective demand after the
passage of the tariff bill The general
Impression is that the removal of uncer-
tainty will largely increase business.
The monetary conditions remain un-
changed. There were only geo miles of
railroad track laid during the past six
months, the smallest total of any wear
since 1915. The number of railroad re-
ceiverships is also the smallest at this
time since that date.
Much of the hope for improvement de.
ponds upon the crops, which are far away
above the average.
Coke production is again increasing,
which is sure sign that more manufac.
tories are running full time with more
men employed
Clearings of the banks increased heav-
lily the past week
There were 1000 failures for the first
six months of the year, which is 600 less
than for the same period last year.

out. Repairs are always made at this
season OF the year and many manufac-
turers do not sign the scale until after
their plants have been overhauled. This
usually consumes two or three weeks.
In the meantime the conference COM
mittees will meet again and try to settle
the differences. If the committees find
that an -agreement is impossible big
strike will doubtless begin.
The conference on the tin plate--wage
scale will be resumed tomorrow by the
committees of the manufacturers and the
Amalgamated Association. All the tin
plate plants in the country, with the en-
ception of the four non-union concerns,
are idle and Il number Of manufacturers
are anxious to get to work. The workers
insist that they will make no concessions,
while the manufacturers are wiling to
grant at least 10 per cent. advance over
the present rates.

MINERS WILL STRIKE.
They Will be Called Out All Over
the Country,

Terre Haute, Ind, July Next Sun
day, or prior to that day, circulars will
be placed in the hands of all bitumlnous
miners in the United States, calling them
out on strike. 1t is estimated that $780,
O00 men will be involved. Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and parts of
West Virginia and Kentucky will con.
tribute to the movement.
The strike is to enforce the Colum bus
scale, 90 cents per ton for Pennsylvania,
60 cents for Ohio, 90 cents for Indiana,
and 90 cents for illinois. When the
Columbus scale was adopted it was not
thought advisable to attempt it's enforce
ment. A committee was then appointed
to take in hand the matter of a strike,
and to order one rs soon as such course
seemed opportune. This committee has
decided that the time has come to act.
The strike will be general. In Braid
wood, ILL.,, mass meeting was held to-
day, at which the miners in every place
III the northern district agreed to lay
down their tools. At Streat6r 6, Zoo
miners decided not to wait, but to strike
at once, and at AltDonn, Pa, the Gallit-
Yin miners who went back to work Tues.
day, quit work again late this afternoon.

BURNETT LIKELY TO WIN.
John 5. Wise Likely to Lose The Contest
for an AttOrneYship.

for an Attorneyship.
New York, July 2.-The Herald,s
Washington correspondent says: II. H.
Burnett, of New York, will probably be
appointed United States district attorney
for the southern district of New York.
Mr.. Burnett and Representative John
5. Wise, formerly of Virginia, are the
principal candidates for the place.
Mr.. Wise had what he considered a pos
tive promise of the appointment from
the President, but the general opinion
among New York Republican politicians
here to night is that the chances are
largely in favor of the appointment of
Mr.. Burnett He has the Endorsement of
the organization in New York and anti
organization opposition to him is not
strong
1t may be that some other place in the
federal service will be found for Mr..
Wise.
