has special Jurisdiction, and coming within
the scope of their investigation.
Said commission shall meet for organization

Coal Strike Takes Serious Turn.
Deputies Guard in West Virginia. Trouble Is
Hourly Expected Canonsburg.

FAIRMONT, w. Va, July o.
Armed deputy sheriffs now guard the
Hite mine at Kings, three miles above
here, on the Tyngarts Valley river.
The sheriff was called there this after
noon, as the operators feared an out
break. but no arrests were made. Early
this morning the drivers at that mine
ioined the strikers as a result OF the
efforts of Crawford Temple, a Monou-
gahela miner, who, since joining the
union, has proved as efficient mis-
sionary as the organizers could desire.
The operators secured new drivers in
an hour, and at noon over half of the
miners came out. Then the second lot
of drivers threw up their positions, and
some of the men began stonlng the
miners, who were forced to leave their
work and who had assembled in front
of the mine. Rolf Hite, the superin-
tendent, soon had his Winchester in
his hands, and three shots quenched
the enthusiasm of all the strikers but
one. who made for Hite with a pick,
but he was driven off at the point of
feared another break, and called on the
company officials for aid.
Tonight the organizers are there,
and they say all the men will join
the strikers, but Hite stated all, or
most of the men, would be at work to-
morrow. cat our conference" said
President Ratchford tonight, "it was
decided to give the Fairmont district
more attention, as we feel confident
that the miners can be gotten out. L
speak at Monogah tomorrow after
noon"

said might be accounted for by the
haste of the sender and as it was not
known that any other party in the
Arctic regions was equipped with car
rler pigeons, degree of proba ability
was lent to the report that entitled 1t
to consideration. Commodore Melville,
however, does not attach much impor
tance to the results to follow such an
expedition as Andree'S, even if it sue
ceeded in crossing the pole. He is con-
fident that it would not be possible for
Andree to have alighted at the pole,
and then have resumed his flight, and
thinks the best that he could have done
would have been to cross the pole high
in the air. His expedition, however,
would solve the question as to the eX-
istence Of the open polar sea, which
has been the subject of so much con-
troversy between explorers, but beyond
being able to report upon that, Andree
probably would have little of value to
contribute to the present store OF
knowledge of the far North, In the
opinion of Commodore Melville, assum-
ing that this pigeon message is gen
uine and from Andree there is graz G
reason to fear for the safety of the bold
aeronaut. If following the line of the
meridian upon which he reported him
self, he landed on the north coast of
Alaska, not too far east of Point Bar
some of the whalers who are still off
the. coast, or some of the few natives
along the shore. But if the balloon
once crossed the coast range and
landed in the interior, there would be
little chance of the explorers reaching
civilization again.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-In reply
to a telegraphic request, Gen. A. w
Greely. the Arctic explorer, has sent
the Associated Press from Linden,
Va, the following signed statement
regarding the Andree expeditions: "It
is possible that Prof. Andree may
have reached the North pole or its
vicinity. sTelegra phic reports, as far
as L have seen, state that he started
with a south wind of twenty two
miles an hour. The chances of such a
wind blowing 600 miles straight to the
North pole is, however, very small, as
it would be an extraordinary meteoro-
logical phenomenon such as has never
accompanied any storm. While I be-
live that Andree will never return, yet
experience teaches US that miraculous
things occur daily"
Prof. Willis S. Moore, chief of the
weather bureau, although he believes
sufficient time has elapsed for the re-
ceipt of message, is inclined to look
upon the report as a canard. Still, if
it should be true. the news will be
especially pleasing for Prof. Moore,
who, on the day after Andree started,
after a careful examination of the
chart of the atmospheric conditions
and pressure in the Arctic region for
this month, predicted that if Andree
reached the pole the air currents
would carry him out on almost. the
longitude Indicated and land him near
Point Barrow, on the north coast of
Alaska.

Lowry, of this county, has a force Of
deputies ready for duty at a moments
notice, and trouble is looked for at
any time. The deputies are in readiness
to go to the mines of the New York &
Cleveland Gas Coal company. A march
on the Turtle Creek, Plum Creek and
Sandy Creek mines is expected at any
time. 1t was learned from reliable au-
temptation, but would not take place
until the latter part of the week.
At Canonsburg it was reported that
1000 men would march to the Cook
mines tonight and stay there until
the d1ggerS came out. Sheriff Clark. OF
Washington county, was on hand with
large number of deputies and trouble
was expected if the strikers attempted
to force the men to quit work.
The miners leaders continue at work
in an effort to get the miners in the
Connellsville coke region out, but dis
patches from Uniontown and Dunbar
indicate that they are meeting with
poor. success. A Uniontown dispatch
says the leaders are very much dis
heartened, and admit privately, that
they have failed to create any strike
sympathy. The RedStone miners, 1t Is
claimed, will be back next week. Dun
bar dispatches say there is very lit
tie probability that the coke region
will become a factor in the strike. The
state law to compel coal operators to
weigh the coal before it is screened
and to pay the miners on its basis is
to be tested to it's fullest extent ard
the whole uniformity agreement hinges
on this test. A large number of opera
tors are putting in scales so as to
weigh the coal according to the new
law, but others are preparing to fight
it. Among the latter is w. p. Dear
mitt, who says the law can be abro-
gated by the right of private contract,
and he intends to test it by the con-
tract with his men.
CHARLESTON, w. Va. July 22.-
The backbone of the strike. appears to
be broken in the Kanawha valley. The
demand for a general strike among tho
soft coal diggers and the agreement
reached to that end by the representa-
tives in the meeting at Montgomery
yesterday, turn out to be practically q
failure. The men at only three mines
obeyed the call to strike and they are
now talking of returning to work.

LONDON, July 22.-Keen interest is
felt in geographical circles here as to
the result of Andreess expedition; and.
this is increased by the arrival of the
pigeons at Soevde and at Tromsoe ISL
and, though there is some doubt as to
whether either bird came from Andree
1t is a curious fact that the inscription
's142 w. 1852 agrees, exactly, with the
geographical location from which the
London experts believe they might hear
from Andree at about this time. I.
Scott Kettle, secretary of the Royal
Geographical society, who is about leav-
ing to attend the meetings of the Brit
ish association meeting at Toronto,
said to the correspondent Of the Asso-
ciated Press today: '"I would not wish
to speak officially for the society in
this matter; but it is certain that if
the wind were Southerly when he as
cended, Andree would cross, the polar
basin and come out near the Bering
straits. 142 W. means the coast of
North America, and if such a wind pre-
vailed under the most favorable cir
cumstances, Andree would arrive there.
If the inscription means this, it means
also that Andree |has passed right
across the pole. ,ssS,
THE inscription is the only thing
leading to the supposition that the
pigeon may haVes come from Andree,
but it cannot be doubted that he will
first be heard of on the extreme north
of America, or the Siberian coast. Sup
posing him to have arrived at 142 w.
With a disabled balloon, he. can easily

as to Andree's fate, because even if
the balloon comes to grief Andree will
