the strikers at Plum Greek which serv-
ed to act as a stimulus on the men,
who had been chatting under the mac
tivity OF the day. Addresses were
made by a number Of local leaders,
who counseled the men TO keep the
peace and obey the law.
1t is stated that the several men
who were discharged from Oak Hill
will be evicted from the company
houses on Monday. Such action prom
ises TO stir up a good deal OF feeling
among the strikers and their friends.
The Boone mine, of the CanonsDurg
Coal Company, was closed To-Day
owing to a report that another march
was contemplated. The strikers IN
camp at McGOvern are paying no at
tention to the Sheriff's order prohlDo'
iting marching. The Cook mine Is
still being operated, but the fuu quota
of men are not at work.
The BUnOla mine, near EllzaOeth'
was closed down again to-day Twelve

duct were made to-day, and eight yes

sistance when arrested.

CIVIL SERVICE.
Notifications of the Rules Made On
the Application OF Army UmcerS.

Washington. Au~ust 14.-The engi-
neers of the army experienced some
trouble and made several complaints
concerning the extension OF the ciyii
service to the employees on public WORKS
under their charge. The new reguia-
tions occasioned considerable corre-
snondence. which was finally transmit
ted TO Congress, where the complaints
were lodged by the army officers. me
requlations have since been so arrang-
cd that the engineers now say the civil
service extensions will work in most
satisfactory manner. The right OF Sc
lection of men from any branch OF the
classified service has been extended so
that the officers can investigate and
inform themselves of the qualifications
Of clerks which were needed In their
service. - otso
There was some apprehension also

not feel like accepting any man VINO

such clerks may be subject to a BOND

The Labor Leaders Split UP-Why the

20 las, night until four o'clock this
morning. Ratchford Gompers, sovereign
and the other heads Of the great iooar
ORGANIZATIONS who spoke at Monongan
Yesterday. were I'm conference at the AT
lineton Hotel After q few hours sleep
Ratcbford. Gompers and Sovereign left
for DeArmitt's mines and Mahon and
Askew left for the Flat Top region.
Before leaving Gompers said: I'VE
leave the West Virginia district but tenn
porarily. Next Tuesday will find US in
the New River region and the Watson
mines viii receive a call late in the week
OF course we are going 20 win the strike.
When asked about the conference, he
said he was acting according to the ar
rangements decided on by going 10
Pittsburg. and refused to give further
particulars.
Askew would talk a little more. and
said that to James Wood. Of Chicago, was
due the mild action of the labor leaders
yesterday. This statement is vouched for
by w. A. Carney, Of the Amalgamated
Iron and Steel Workers. 1t seems that
an Of them wanted TO make red-hot
speeches and have the injuncdons served
yesterday. Wood did not think tnis plan
would be best. and argueu so strongly
IN favor Of conservative words, that
President Ratchford called yesterday
mornings conference. which resulted in
) orders 70 have a care in what they said.
This idea is confirmed by a statement
made bv one Of the leaders when Sow
sreign fred up In his speech Of yesterday
This organizer turned to GOmpers and
observed fhot when Sovereign got any
thing in his head nothing would turn
him. and that he was then going against
Ratchford's orders.
His fiery words kept him from re-
naming in the Fairmont district as he
desired The leaders thought it would be
safer to have him with them.
At the conference the Fairmont dis
trict was well considered, and Rae
Wood Carney and O'DOnneu were ordered
to remain here for some time. Promi-
nent leaders who have not yet visited
this State will come I'm next week. Rae
says that he viii continue the fight and
IS sure to win. This afternoon he held
a good meeting al Mt Glare. Harrison
county. and tomorrow he goes 10 Tyr
conrell. accompanied by Ed l.. Davis and
Carney. while Wood and O'Connen speak
at Montana.
The meeting at Watson. at which
Wood and OConneu spoke last night,
was quite harmonious The miners ad-
vertised a Sunday school festival but sup
posed every one would understand that it
was an excuse to get the miners out to
hear the speakers. When such proved
20 be the case the operators began to op-
pose the meeting. and Ruth Morgan got
mp to sell prize boxes in opposition 10
O'COnneu's speech. Every one cheere0

O'Connsu stood the strain, and at last
children were sent out 10 run in front of
the meeting. and boys were put to break

BY this means several hundred Watson

Boitcheff and Novelitch were con-

BOITCHEFF ON THE WITNESS

Boitcheff's examination thrilled the
court. He was gay and witty, had
seen nothing, heard nothing. had given
no orders, had never worn a civilian S

Upon a Construction Of the Tariff
Bill.

Washington. August 14.-Attorney
General McKenna to-day gave a hear
ing 10 parties interested in the question
involved in section 22 OF the new taTIL
act. Some days ago the Secretary Oh

the Collector of Customs at chicago
that a large invoice Of teas and other
goods from Japan had been received at
that mort over a Canadian railroad and
asking whether the ten per cent. dis
eliminating duty provided for IN seer
ton % applied on these goods. Ihe
question was at once referred to the
Attorney General for an opinion. AT
the request of the Boston and Maine
Railroad Company, however, the At
tornev General decided TO give hear
ING to-day to persons interested. For
mer Secretary Carlisle appeared for the
Boston and Maine Railroad and former
Assistant Secretary Hamlin represent
ed the Associated Board Of Trade, and
the Merchants Association of Boston.
Messrs. Ham,in and Carlisle spoke
nj length. and after Mr.. Carlisle con-
cIuded the Attorney General pointed
ont that there must have been in the
minds of the legislators who framed the
clause. a meaning for the substitution
of the words came into for i'm
ported." when applied to contiguous
territory. Mr. Carlisle asked if goods
in bond from China could be considered
goods imported from Canada. The At
torney General says they were not i'm
portations. Then Mr.. Carlisle said that
fact furnished an adequate explanation.
If such goods were not importations
then the words came into" would have
to be used.
The Attorney General gave Mr.. Car
isle and Mr. Hamlin until Wednesday
next to file their briefs.

 The person who had informed thf traveler. concerning the wonderful re- teutiyeness of the young Gorsiea.lae memory declared that he was so gifted in that faculty that he could repeat af many as 86, GOO words if read over te him but once. Maretus and three dtst1n- guished Yenetians agreed to test the ao. ouraey of the statement. A committed visited the student of extraordinary memory and found him willing to sub nit to the ordeal. Accordingly there was read over to him an almost inter- minable list of words strung together without any consecutive order and without any meaning whatever.
 The young man stood all the time with his attention deeply fixed and his eyes huff closed. When the long string of words had been read off, he looked up eheerfully end repeated the whole of the uninteresting catalogue of words without single fault. Then, to show how carefully his wonderful memory had retained every word, he went through the list backward. When that task was finished. he took each alter nate word--frst, third, fifth, etc. and repeated them until the company was thoroughly convinced that they were n the pIeseno of the most wonderful prod igy of moF 1ory that the world had ever produced.
