meeting of the labor leaders was held
to take action concerning the miners

were we'll represented by delegates,
who took active part in the proceed

Mrs. n. G. Jones, who became promi-

in Chicago. She will be one of the
speakers at the McCrea House meeting
tomorrow, and a big meeting here on
Thursday. The gist of the officials
report was that money, and quite a
goodly sum must be forthcoming at
once if the strike is to be continued.
They made forcible appeals to their
fellow unionists, and the result was the
appointment by the league of COM.

BITTER FEELING
At honolulu.
Most Threatening State of
Affairs Reported.
HARB0R IS FILLED
WITH FIGHTING SHIPS.
American Sailors Are Prosecuted
BY the Police.
Object of the Authorities Cannot Be
Fathomed-More British and Jap
anese War Vessels Expected to
Arrive Daily-Annexation of Sol
ONION Islands by England Causes
Great Excitement.

New York, Aug. "A dispatch tc
the Herald from Vancouver says that
the steamer Miowera, from Honolulu
brings the following Hawaiian ad-
vices:
Honolulu harbor is dotted with
British. Japanese and United States
war vessels and more British and
japanese vessels are expected daily. In
semi-oficial quarters everything is re-
ported quiet, but the impression among
citizens is that the condition of affairs
is very threatening and a popular out
break may occur at any time, when
international interference from ships in
the harbor would occasion a compliea-
ton.
The stream of Asiatic laborerss is
still pouring in, each ship load causing
fresh outbreak of feeling among the
different factions on the islands.
An immediate cause of alarm is the
fact that the United States blue jackets
are bitterly hostile to the Hawaiian
police, who exercise almost military
rule.
British and Japanese sailors are not
molested, but American blue Jackets
are constantly arrested as deserters
without cause and annoyed in every
conceivable way.
The object of the authorities in this
persecution cannot at present be faith
omed. The blue jackets are writing
numerous letters to the press, protest
ing against their treatment.
Heavy rewards are offered to the po-
lice for arresting United States naval
deserters, which has caused wholesale
arrests of men of the American fleet.
News of the annexation of several
of the Solomon Islands by Great Brit
ain has been received with excitement
and again started a report that adj
vices have been received from England
that the United States will not be al

DIMINISHED COAL OUTPUT.
Situation In West Virginia Full of
Uncertainty.

! Wheeling, W. Va, Aug. There has
been a decrease in the amount of coal
II coming out Of the Fairmont region, on
the Is. & 0. road, compared with the
same period last week. Last week the
average number of cars received at
BellaiTe was 200; now the average is
probably not over 100 Last week the
Wheeling & Lake Erie was handling
rs to 100 cars daily; now not more than
80 cars are handled.
The Cleveland, Lorraine & Wheeling
company's comparison is the same as
the Wheeling & Lake Erie. In the
Wheeling district the condition is full
of uncertainty. The break at Boggs
Run has made 1t very difficult to keep
the men at Glendale, Moundville and
Elm Grove out. Some are working now,
but this week will witness desper-
ate effort to make the suspension gen.
eral throughout the district. The oper-
ators claim to be sure of their ability
to keep at least half of their usual
number of men at work.
Interest in West Virginia is centered
on the Miners day" demonstration,
recommended at the late Wheeling
conference of the labor leaders of the
country. Although the assignments of
speakers have not yet been made by
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, it is said he will
send his best men into this state with
the hope that a result of the demon
stration will be the tying up of mines
throughout the state.

THE ANGLo-GERMAN TREATY.
Not Believed That England Will
Adopt Protection.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-The Kreuz Zeitun-
says that the denunciation of the
commercial treaty with the German
zollverein is Great Britain's first step
toward the protectionist system. and
adds: But there is no ground for
serious alarm, because she has her
carrying trades to protect and retalia-
ton TO fear. Moreover, a one-sided
preference shown to Canada might
provoke a conflict with the United
States"
The National Zeitung says that
Great Britain is herself the nation
most interested in the conclusion of a
new treaty and that Germany may
gain much by skillful, cold-blooded
diplomacy.
The Vossische Zeitung says: so far
as Germany's relations to England are
concerned, it is a matter of indifference
whether We have treaty or not
The Berliner Tageblatt says: Great
Britain's intention to join the mother
country and the colonies in customs
union Will not induce her to restrict
British trade with Germany any
further than is necessary to attain this
object"
The three last named papers all
agree that it is quite out of the ques-
ton for England to adopt protection.

SCOTTDALE'S TRAGEDY.
Well Known Mill Worker Arrested
For Shooting Cummings.

Scottdale. Pa, Aug. 1.-Coroner
Owens today held an inquest on the
remains of William Cummings, the
non-union mill worker, who was killed
last night during a quarrel with strik-
ers. A large number of witnesses were
examined, but the only one who gave
positive testimony was Constable Long
anecker, who testified that he was
standing within few feet of the par
ties when the shooting took place, and
plainly saw the flash and smoke from
the revolver in the hands of William
c.. Hubs.
The jury found Hubs guilty, and he
was at once arrested. Hubbs was a
roller in the employ of the Scottdaie
Iron & Steel company before the strike,
and is one of the best known young
men in the town. While opinions diff
fer as to the effect Of Cummings death,
it is generally believed that the trouble
last night will end the rioting and
bloodshed and the strikers will be more
guarded. The town is quiet tonight.

London, Aug. 1.-The denunciation by
Great Britain of the commercial
treaties with Belgium and Germany is
the chief theme of discussion in the
European newspapers. The Daily
Chronicle says: 1T is the triumph of
Tree trade on a great and imperial
scale 1t is a curious coincidence Of
fate that it should be the cork of a
ministry permeated by the fallacies Of
protection
Discussing the effect of Great
Britain's action upon the United States
and Germany, the Chronicle expresses
the opinion that the former will GER
tainly not be the gamer, while Canada
cannot lose by the new condition of
affairs, adding: Nor is it likelv that
long,"
Other papers express similar opinions.
All are agreed that a great step has
been taken, which will bring England

Ine French press displays undis-
Sulsed satisfaction at the prospect of
a tariff war between England and
Germany, a conflict from which it can

The Journal Des Debats is anxious to
know whether England is about to re-
turn to a protective policy
M Mel1ne's paper, the Republioue
Francois, regards Great Brfrain's act
as a confederation of the principle of
protection and predicts a general rise
OF European tariffs against British and

The German papers, on the con-

the exception of a few on the extremist
order. Greater anxiety is felt as to
the possible motive of the British

MISSOURI PACIFIC WRECK.
Someone's Carelessness Causes Death
of Two Trainmen.

Eidorado, Kan, Aug. 1.-The Missouri
Pacific passenger train which left
Kansas City at 1890 o'clock last night
crashed into four loaded cars which
had been carelessly left standing on
the main track at Yates Center, result
ing in a wreck that will cost the lives
of two trainmen. The passenger train
was running at a speed of 80 miles an
hour. The tender and baggage car
telescoped, and the wreck caught fire,
burning the baggage car and the four
freight cars and destroyed the loco
motive and tender. Engineer Jasper
Glover and Fireman Cal Rowan, both
men of family, living in Eldorado, were
probably fatally injured. Conductor
Anderson and the baggage and express
messengers suffered painful bruises,
but all the passengers escaped serious
injury

Incendiary Fires at Ottawa, Ills.

Ottawa, Ills, Aug. 1.-The Pioneer
Fireproof Construction companys
plant, the largest of its kind in the
world. was partially destroyed by fire
this afternoon, entailing a loss of $780,
00o partially insured. The fire was of
incendiary origin. The large grain
elevator of J. n. Shuler was burned to
the ground this morning. Loss, $4,000;
insurance, $1,000. It is now thought
this building was also set on fire. Had
there been any breeze at the time of
either fire, the city of Ottawa would
have been almost wiped out as both
buildings were situated close to bust
