BOGGS' RUN MEN OUT.
Suspension of Mining Is Now Practic-
ally Complete in the Wheel
ing District.

Wheeling W. Va. Aug. 1O.-Wheeling
was the scene of a peaceful invasion from
Ohio early this morning. A small army OF
Ohio side striking miners, from Wheeling
Run. on the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling
railroad, numbering 127 men, marched
through the city TO the BOggs' Run mines.
The BOggs' Run men got wind of the in
Vasion. and only six or eight arrived to go
10 work. These were taken in hand by the
visitors and persuaded to sign paper to
stay out. Later in the day. the other
Boggs' Run men were seen. and agreed to
join the strike. This makes the suspension
Practically complete in the Wheeling dis
trict- The strikers proceeded uptown to the
Belmont and Riverside mill mines and
made Il demonstration there.
4 committee of the strikers and one rep
rcsenting the mill miners met and it was
decided that the question of these men
joining the strike would be determined by
President Ratchford. If this course is pur-
sued il will throw thousands out of work.
The action of the Bellaire peddling banks
in shutting down may be rescinded, as the
Ohio strike leaders are not in favor of
shutting down the mill banks.
The Wegee miners have decided 10 Join
the strike tomorrow evening. This and the
HetheringtOn mines supply steamboats,
with fuel. A scarcity for the boats is now

Feared at Kobe.

San Francisco. Aug. 1Q-The steamer
Peru arrived this morning from Yokohama
via Hong Kong with the following Japan
ese advices:
There is no doubt whatever that from Oc-
tOber 4 next Japan will have gold cur
rency. A circular issued by the specie
bank announces that from that date it will
pay gold for Bank of Japan notes. The
Osaka mint is very busy at present mint
ing gold coins. the 20 yen coin being struck
first. The project is to mint 100000 yen
worth of subsidiary coins. including 80 sen
coin. within the year. In order to expedite
the issuance Of the new coins. the usual
summer vacation of officials has been dis
pensed with.
The publishers and editors of the Toxic
Nichi-Nichi Shimbun. Chuwo Shimbun and
Tokyo Shimbun have been condemned TO
Imprisonment for one month and to pay
fine of yen for insulting the minister
of state by the publication in their papers
of the famous Song of March
The japanese government has decided 10
totally abolish the export duty from the
commencement of the thirty-first financial
year, that is to say, from April J. next
Although the budget for that year shows
a deficit of revenue. the decision has been
made with the view Of encouraging the
export trade. The amount of export duty
estimated in the budget for the current
year is 2.269I1S yen; but in view of there
being an increase of some 100000 yen in
customs receipts from 1883. when the new
treaties become operative, and of their
gradually increasing. there will be no difti-
Guilty. even though the export duty be dbol-
ished.
The Japanese papers are unanimous in
approving the principle of a supposed sub
mission of the Hawaiian difficulty to arbi-
tratiOn. The Mainichi. commenting upon
the annexation question. says: The reason
why Japan made a protest as soon as the
signing of the annexation treaty became
known is that she has done so simply out
of friendship, so as to make known her
views in the matter before diplomatic ne
gOtiatiOns are opened. From the reply OF
the United States secretary Of state to
Japan's first protest. il appears that the
determination of America on the subject IS
very firm. The japanese government. how
ever. has not relied on the attitude of other
countries from the outset. and this policy
will be adhered 10 to the last"
The japanese Gazette says that there j.
a feeling akin to panic at Kobe. which. II
not soon checked. will lead 10 serious re-
suits. Foreigners are becoming alarmdd SOr
their safety. encounters with coolies arc
rife. and the spectacle Of foreign blueJack-
cts being pursued by a mob of rOughs Is
not reassuring.

FARMING NOT POPULAR.
Official Statistics Show n Growing Dis
inclination to Follow ARricuIt-
uraI Pursuits.

Washington. Aug. 10.-Comparative fig
ures compiled by the department Of labor
I'm the form of deductions from the last
census statistics relating to workers at
gainfuI occupations point to the fact that
persons at work. especially females. have
increased very much faster than the pop
ulatiOn at large. AS a result. the state
ment shows that the proportion of workers
relative to the total population and to the
whole number of people of respective ages
was considerably greater in 1890 than at the
preceding census periods. and that this in
creased proportion is apparent for each OF
the great classes of occupations. except
agriculture. fisheries and mining. All this
the statement sets out, shows the incTeaS-
ing Discrimination Of our population to fol-
low agricultural pursuits. The analysis
demonstrates that the increased proper
ton Of workers is found generally in the
higher walks OF business life. and in those
occupations which called for skilled labor.
The conclusion is accordingly stated to be
inevitable that the great body of workers
has. as a whole, progressed and risen per-
ceptibly in the social scale OF life.

THE THIRDS NEW FORAGE CAPS
Distributed Among the Men Last Night
Regiment VIII Give n Dress Pa
rnde Tomorrow Night.

The Third regiment will give a dress pa
rade on Grand avenue between Ninth and
Eleventh street tomorrow night at s:30.
The new regulation forage caps. which su-
persede the old soldier caps, arrived yes
terday and were distributed at the armory
at Twelfth street and Troost avenue last
night. Colonel George p. Gross says the
regiment now number go men, well
equipped with new uniforms. caps. guns.
canteens and other accoutrements of war.
At two hours notice the whole regiment
could be on the train bound for the seat
Of war.
We are in better shape than we have
ever been before-in every way except
financially" said Colonel Gross. The
state appropriation is very inadequate and
is used up in the payment of rent. We
pay 3 600 a year in rent and for the care
OF this old shack. which is totally unfit for
an armory. 1t Is not only too small TO
drill in, but il is no place to keep guns.
We have worked five years to get new guns
and now that We have them they are al
ready rusting from exposure. The quar-
termaster has only little box for an
Office and the ordnance quarters are ridic-
ulCUsly small. We expect to get into that
new convention hall and then the boys
will drill every night for the glory it may
reflect on Kansas City"

CRISIS FAST APPROACHING.
1t VIII Soon he known Whether or
Not DeArmft's Men VIII
Quit Work.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. IA crisis is fast
approaching in the miners movement
against the New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal Company. The next few days should
determine whether or not the strikers oh
ject will be attained. Tc-day's work was
not viewed in a disappointing light by the
campers at Turtle Creek. Sandy Creek and
Plum Creek, yet the happenings were not
encouraging. To begin with, they had 10
contend with their trst spell Of bad wealth
er A heavy rain drenched the camps and
prevented the marcherS from carrying out
their regular programme. At Plum Creek,
the rain and continued absence of band
kept the men in their quarters with the re-
suit that little IL any missionary work was
undertaken. The storm also had the effect
of preventing the march 10 the Spring Hill
mines between Wilmerding and Wall sta
ton, which are owned by Alexander Demp-
Ster.
The only march of the day was made by
the $50 men at Camp Determination, who
marched close to the Oak Hill tipples. and
spent two hours in the vicinity Of the
miners homes. There was not even or
binary excitement attached to the invasion
along ThOmpsOn'S Run.
The days developments leave the cOndi-
tiOnS much the same as they were, except
that the company claims to have made a
further break in the strikers ranks at
Turtle Creek and Sandy Creek.
The Plum Creek mine was running OUT
considerable coal to-day, and the number
of men reported at work equals that of
yesterday. The failure TO mold a meeting
at Camp Isolation was another diSappOnt-
ing feature OF the day, and the men are
loudly clamoring for the presence OF the
officials.
The batch Of Italians that struck camp
yesterday are expected to do much good
among their fellow countTymen at the
working Plum Creek mine, but active la
bors are being withheld until tomorrow
morning, when il will be positively known
whether the men intend remaining away
from the pits
This afternoon, District President Pat
rick DOlan accused the operators of the
Pittsburg district with having broken faith
with the striking miners in this district
He also outlined the policy to be pursued
by the United Mine Workers in their fight
in the Central Pennsylvania district. where
IL is proposed to close down all the mines.
He cannot predict when the strike will he
settled but claims his organization can
stand the strike until the last of Septem-

The operators. he said. had promised TO
