Striking Miners Attempt to Capture a
Train, but Fail Completely.
Peoria, Ills. July 22.-Fifty striking
miners at Pennington seized a Burning
ton freight train at II o'clock yesterday
morning, demanding that It carry them
to Dunfermline. where they intended
to call out the $50 miners at work, where
wages have been increased. They re-
fused to pay or get off, and held the
train till o'clock, when the conductor
cut off the engine and ran to Canton,
returning with the sheriff and the
states attorney. They argued with the
men and they finally abandoned the
train. after holding it five hours. The
Peoria county miners are threatening
to march across the country to Dun
fermline to force the men out The
managers of the mines there say the
men want to keep at work, and are pre-
pairing for trouble.
st. Louis. July 22.-The delegates of
marching striking miners who visited
the mines about Belleville, Ills, early
yesterday returned at noon. They found
the men cut at Gartsides No. 3, Rose
Hill, Schureman's Crown No. 2, Crown
No. 4, Oak Hill and Hartman's No. l..
The first three belong to the ST. Louis
Consolidated Coal company Only six
mines are in operation, and it is thought
that the Consolidated opposition is
broken. The strike leaders do not be-
lieve that man will be at work to-
day. There was an encounter yes
terday between General Bradley, who
is leading the marching miners, and
William Patterson, a local labor leader.
They charged each other with treach-
cry.
About 125 of the 45O miners who are on
strike at Collinsville, Ills, held a meet
ing at that place yesterday afternoon
to determine whether they should con-
tinue the strike or accept the advance
offered them by the operators and re-
turn to work. They decided by a vote
OF So to 43 to continue the strike The
situation. however, remains practically
unaltered. The miners as a rule are
seriously divided. as was shown by the
meeting. only 12S out of a total of $50
being present. The married men wish
to resume labor, but the single men IA
vor the strike.

Fairmont, W. Va, July 22.-Eugene v.
Debs addressed 400 miners at Watson last
evening. 300 of them marching there from
Monongah, a distance Of four miles In
his speech he took pains to denounce the
reports sent to various papers by spe-
cial correspondents saying that he was
discouraged.
The 100 men from New England that
attended expect to lose their jobs. Sew
sMperintendents not to attend, but they
would rather lose their jobs, they say,
than be the complete slaves Of the OPP
orators. Debs speech was a socialistic
one and his Utopia was descibed to the
men completely. Debs does not leave
here for Columbus, as many papers
state. Ratchford will come to him.
Debs when seen denounced the refusal
ereign speak as follows:
Says the Operators Are Desperate.
IF it is true we are no better in the
United States than in Russia. Free
speech is denied in West Virginia; SO it
is in Russia. 1t shows the des-
peration on the part OF the op-
orators. It's like ether schemes of the
money power. The end is near 1T is
cupidity, and cupidity commits suicide.
They can force US down now, but it is
like damming a stream. You can build
the dam higher and higher, but finally
the dam must break. Pent up power will
some day destroy. SOvereign's fate will

at Worthington yesterday after
noon was a very successful one from the
organizers standpoint, and union there
will be formed today.
Situation at Wheeling.
Wheeling, w. Va, July 22.-There is
little change in the local coal mining
strike. Some of the miners who struck
at the Glendale works Tuesday after
noon returned to work yesterday morn
ing rather unexpectedly. They are en-
gagged in mining coal for the engines Of
the Baltimore and Ohio and Ohio River
ROADS There is no change in the situa-
tion at Dillonville. There will be a DEM
ontration by the miners of this city and
vicinity today for the purpose of induce
ing the men at the Boggs Run mines to
join the strike. Employees of five COM
panies will form in line and march to
the Boggs Run mines with a brass band.
Important Developments at Fairmont.
Fairmont. W. Va, July 22.-The most
important development of the past twen-
ty-four hours was the embargo laid by
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad on all
West Virginia coal. Orders were issued
to hold all coal at junction points as the
railroad wanted to keep a ten days sup
ply always on hand. Sensational publ
cations have frightened the road.
Bluefield, w. Va, July 22-Twenty-
five guards passed through here yester-
day for the Kenova division Of the Nor
folk and Western railway to guard
bridges and other property of the road
in the Clinch Valley field. At Toms
Creek non-union men are reported to
have been fired upon by strikers, several
being reported wounded

made its appearance in Randolph county
about a month ago. and its operations

The persons flogged have been citizens

can hold his Republican majority
together, there is no prospect of
Congress devoting the time of the
extra session to any other than
emergency business. This policy
may be severely criticised in many
quarters, being particularly unin-
teresting to the people in this coun-
try who hoped to see the annexa-

We have received a copy of a
magazine recently started in San

a pretentious publication it demon
strates the progressive spirit of the

standpoint the magazine is to be

Party smash-ups are now the
order Of the day in the United
States. 1t IS not surprising that the
Populists have caught the fever.
Chairman Marion Butler is now
the object of attack from the mid
dle-of-the-road" faction of his
party. This faction demanded the
calling of a convention the real OBJ
ject of which was to get rid of
Butler. He of course refused to
furnish the material for securing
his own political death warrant, so
the 'Emiddle-of-the-roaders" have
decided to call their own conven-
ton. They will break away on an
Independent wing, thereby lessen
ing their chances for success. The
idea seems to be gaining ground
among many citizens of the United
States that to testify faith in GER
tain political theories is more i'm
portant than accomplishing prac-
teal results in the government of
the republic.

Governor Pingree of Michigan
has vetoed a "curfew law" on the
ground that it involves interference
by the State in matters of purely
domestic concern. In view of the
successful workings of such law
in many cities, Governor Pingree's
argument seems pretty far fetched.
Since the enactment of the curfew
law in this country no complaints
have been registered against State
with domestic affairs.
