London, Sept. 21.-Popular irritation
increases over the conduct of the cam
paign against the tribesmen in India.
There is cry for such another man as
Lord Roberts Of Kandahar to crush the
growing revolt. In government circles
there prevails feeling Of gratitude that
parliament is not in session. They know
that embarrassing questions would be
asked touching the recent reverses
and that Lord George Hamilton, secre-
tary of state for India, would find him
self sorely puzzled to explain the culpa-
bic dilatoriness that has marked the
actions of the Indian government.
People say that officials danced and
banqueted at Simla while the rebellion
was hourly gaining force. 1t took days
for Lord Elgin and his entrourage TO
grasp the situation. They believed at
first that the tribesmen would dsperse
upon viewing the red coats of the Brit
ish punitive force-that 1t would be
hardly necessary to fire a shot. These
dreams have been shattered in a tragic
manner.

Lingering Illness-lIis Career.
JACKSON, Miss, Aug. l6.--United
States Senator j. 2. George died in
Mississippi City Saturday afternoon.
Mississippi was not unprepared for the
announcement of the death of her "old
commoner,' though hoping he might
pull through and again be able to re.
sumo his duties at Washington. He
has been near deaths door since last
winter, and did not attend the extra
session Of congress, being in Wash
ington hospital till brought home to
Carrollton in the spring.
Senator George was revered by almost every
citizen Of the state, and his fame rs an orator
and statesman was not confined to the limits OF
Mississippi During the civll war he won dis
tinction In the confederate army, From 1861 to
1879 he held many positions o, trust, IND In the

Developments at Canonsburg are be

MINERS RETURNING TO WORK.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. lS.--The coal
miners strike in this section appears
to be failure. The marching delega-
tions persuaded the men to come out
of the mines, or portion of them,
Wednesday, and yesterday the men
went back to the number of about
half. All are expected to go in the
pits to-day. Mines along the Air Line,
Ayrshire, Boonville, Littles and others
are all reported at work.
STRIKERS IN AN UGLY MOOD.
KINGwooD, w. Va, Aug. 13.--rhe
miners at Corinth are in an ugly mood
and threaten the property Of the com
pany and the life of Superintendent
Anderson. The sheriff was notified
and left yesterday morning with
United States Marshal Jackson for the
scene of trouble. If needed, deputies
will be put on guard and order re-
stored, even if force of arms is neces-
sary to accomplish it.
STRIKERS RETURN TO WORK.
ALTOONA, Pa. Aug. l3.-Wednesday
night the firm of Taylor & Mccoy
posted notices at their coal mine that
they would pay the district price, 40
cents net ton for all coal mined. Six
weeks ago they reduced the price Of
coal going into coke to IS cents ton.
and the mines have since been closed
down. On the strength Of this notice,
oil their men resumed work yesterday.
MICHIGAN MINERS 60 OUT.
OwAsso, Mich, Aug. l3.-The coal
miners at Kincaid's, five miles east,
have gone out in obedience to an order
of the Coal Miners union. The strike
is purely sympathetic one. The
mines were being worked to their full
capacity, owing to the increase Of Or
ders during the big strike, the largest
one being placed by Mark Hanna's
company.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 49, Sweep
Ing and far reaching injunctions now
figure in the coal miners strike in the
Pittsburgh district The developments
of yesterday tend To make the situa-
ton strained one, and 1t appears that
crisis is near at hand. The strikers
have demonstrated that their assem-
blages, marches and missionary work
have materially affected the output Of
the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal
Co., while at the same time public
sympathy has been enlisted in
their cause. The sheritf's procla-
nation, issued two weeks ago,
restraining the men from assembling
and marching, has been dead
letter. and the marches have been con-
tinued daily. The much talked Of bill
for an injunction against the United
Mine Workers was filed in the county
court about noon by the counsel for
the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal
Co. The bill recites the conditions
prevailing at their mines since the
strike began and alleges that the strik-
ers have paid no attention to the sher-
ifs proclamation, and that the miners
and the property Of the company are
In danger.
Judge Collier granted preliminary
Injunction restraining and enjoiring

polling any employee or miner to quit

the most sweeping yet issued.

came from the river district were sue
cessful in the afternoon in bringing
the miners at Herminie out. About
175 men quit work about three o'clock.
Twenty-Five hundred miners Of the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre collieries, in
the Honeybrook district, went on a
strike yesterday morning and at a
meeting last night resolved in a body
to stand together. This is the first de-
lection among the miners of eastern
Pennsylvania. Serious trouble is
likely to occur among the miners Of
Corinth, W. Va, caused by the release
of the three Italians arrested for
threatening to blow up the mine and
brick plant of the Oakland Coal Co.

Situation In West Virginia.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. l6.-The coal
miners now on strike for living wages
are being bereft Of their homes. The
evictions from the company houses
have begun. A leaden sky and fitful
showers contributed to the feeling Of
depression which existed at the miners
camps at Turtle and Plum creeks yes
terday. The same grim determination
to stick it out until starvation brings
defeat Or their efforts victory is ap-
parent, but there are no propositions
to attain their ends by force or to go
contrary to the sheriff's orders. The
men all realize that in opposing the
law as represented by the sheriff and
his deputies they would have about
the same success as in butting their
heads against stone wall.
Preparations have been made to re-
new the siege at Coffeen, Ill. Farm
teams and wagons have been hired,
and, instead Of tramping, the miners
will ride and make use of the wagons
for beds. Gen. Bradley is still in the
camp with IS men, but by sunrise this
morning 1t was estimated that 1000
men would reinforce the camp. Thir-
teen wagons loaded with men left
Staunton last night for Coffeen. Some
are accompanied by their wives. They
declare that they have not given up
meeting the Coffeen miners, but will
stay with them if it takes all summer.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. II. Yesterday
was fraught with exciting incidents
on matters pertaining to the coal min
ers' strike. Rioting in the miners
camp, a murder in the deputies ranks,
filing of criminal and civil suits
against the DeArmits, and the hearing
of the injunction case against Presi-
dent Dolan and others, kept both sides
to the struggle busy and on the qui
vive all day long. The hearing in the
injunction case before Judge Stowe
and Collier was, perhaps, one of the
most important and interesting ever
held in the federal court 1t was a
hearing in which both capital and the
rights of labor were interested, and
the decision is expected to have tell
ing effect on the conduct Of the great
coal miners strike which has been on
since July 8. Judge Collier said in
court that the strike would go down in
history as one of the wonders of the
century, and remark able on account OF
the utter lack Of disorder, for which
the strikers are commended and have
the sympathy Of the court.
Two deputies, Robert Kerr and
Frank Anderson, employed as guar
dams Of the New York h Cleveland
Gas Coal Co., fought yesterday after
noon, and as result Kerr cannot live.
Anderson is proprietor of dive on
Water street, this city, and is known
as a bad man. He was in charge of
the deputies at Sandy creek. Kerr,
who lives at McKee's Rocks, is river
pilot by occupation. lie has served
before as deputy during strikes. 1t
is not known what the men fought
about, but they met on broad bridge
crossing Plum creek, and after few
words Anderson was seen to hit Kerr,
who retaliated, and a rough and tum-
BILE fight lasting about five minutes,
followed. Anderson succeeded in
drawing his revolver, and placing it
close TO Kerr's abdomen, fred, the ball
tearing through the victims intestines
and lodging in his back.
Wild disorder prevailed in the vicin-
ity Of Herminie and the Ocean Coal Co.'S

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 1.-THE second
step in the test of the right of the fed
eral court to mix in state affairs was
taken yesterday, this time by the in
surance company. When Attorney
General Boyle and the administration
decided to ignore Judge Williams in
junction and proceeded in violation Of
it, it devolved upon the federal court
and the Mutual Life Insurance Co.
of New York to make the next move.
That move was taken yeste rday,
when notice was served on the
encouragement and superintendent
of insurance that an application would
be made before Judge Williams at
Wichita September II to make the
famous injunction permanent. On the
same day writ of mandamus will be
applied for to force Insurance Superin-
tendent McNall to issue a license to
the Mutual Life to do business in
Kansas.
