A Great Deal Derends.

Cleveland, o., July 24.-On the action
of the labor leaders at the Wheeling
conference. called for July q by Presi
dent Ratchford of the Mine Workers
union, seems TO hang the fate of the
strike, 1t was intimated in this city
today that Ratchford's aim is to induce
the trainmen to refuse TO handle West
Virginia coal.
Chief p NJ. Arthur's refusal to at
tend the convention doe-Ot, occasion
surprise among organized labor. This
is not a matter that concerns u.s., said
Mr.. Arthur, speaking of the coal
strike ut is natural trainmen should
feel a sympathy for the striking min
ers, and 1 suppose they do. but there
is no reason why they should refuse
to haul West Virginia coal the same
as any other freight. 1t may be there
are some who would be inclined to re-
fuse to handle il. I have not been
asked by any of our organizations for
any advice on the question. The or
ganization has rus governing its
members in such affairs"
Ratchford. il is understood, hopes to
induce the trainmen, switchmen and
conductors, through their leaders, TO
refuse to handle West Virginia coal
not mined by union labor. If he ac-
complishes that, the operators con-
cede the market would take wonder
full Jump.

SO Years of Cures,

and the trials are conducted with so
much fidelity that recently a jury stay
ed out all night because they could not
agree whether a man was guilty or
innocent of a simple charge of assault
and battery.
Although a jury trial in this particu-
lar instance was a failure. it would be
well if petty cases were disposed of in
this way before the justices in more
counties of the state. The law provides
for such hearings, and it was formerly
the custom to pass upon trivial charges
before this lower court The quarter
sessions in nearly every county are full
of cases that should have been settled
elsewhere. and if the plea is made that
every defendant has a right to a jury
trial. revival of the old custom OF
impaneling a jury of six before a mag
istrate will be a good answer. Six men
are as likely to deal out justice in a
petty case as -, and there would be
time labor and money saved to all par
ties to the dispute if this method were
more generally adopted.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 24.-If the plans
outlined do not fail. the majority of the
coal operators of the Pittsburg dis
trict will get together at the court
house in this city at IL o'clock in the
morning. The call was sent out this
morning with signatures of the heavi-
est producers in the district.
All the operators who have signified
their willingness to be present at the
meeting are in favor of the re-estab-
lishment OF uniformity and their sig
natures will go a long way toward
making up the required So per cent or
the operators in the Pittsburg district
as outlined by Mr.. De Armitt.
1t is probable that the commissioners
from other states Will be notified to be
in Pittsburg Tuesday. They viii bring
other signatures and it is expected that
whatever action will be t>Ken Will at
least be binding On those that attend
the preliminary meeting.
AS near as can be learned, the object
of the first meeting is to determine
what grievances the various operators
have. Committees will be appointed,
some to solicit signatures and others
to work on the various features of the
contract. The work will be pushed TO
completion as rapidly as possible.
The miners officials say they will do
all in their power to bring about
uniformity agreement. They insist,
however, that they do not want the
public to be under the impression that
they are losing sight of the Importance
of the strike.
The strikers contemplate a move on
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
company next week. A march by 1000
more strikers is one of the plans dis
cussed by the officials to get De Ar
mitt's men out. No violation of the
law, the strike leaders say, will be toll
Grated. The presence of such a body
of miners in the vicinity of the mines
which are working, the leaders think,
would have the proper effect in causing
a suspension of the New York and
Cleveland company's mines.
This is payday az the mines along the
Wheeling divisions OF the Baltimore &
Ohio road The miners did not receive
much money, however as they worked
only three days in July. The miners
officials were busy all day distributing
provisions among the poorer families
along this division. II is reported that
the strikers marched on the Equitable
mine at Webster this morning and in
duced the men to join them. The Equit-
able is a cO-ODeratiVe mine.

London Spectators Opinion of
the Bill.
PROTECTION AS
IT REALLY IS
STRIPPED BARE OF ITS OLD
PRETENSIONS.
Dictated BY Selfish, Pecuniary Inter
ests It Must Be Said Plainly That
the United States Runs Serious
Risks-A Vision of the Future.

London, July pa pessimistic view
is taken by the Spectator of the condi-
tions likely TO develop under the new
American tariff. 1t says: Never be-
fore has the complete domination of
the trusts over the Republican party
been made so Dalpable to the average
man. Congress has been ordered to
protect the trusts and has obeyed. We
find protection stripped of its old pre-
tentiOns and excused 1t is reduced to
bare merceEary aspect. 1t means
the enabling of wealthy corporations
use the powers OF the government TO
enhance piles that are already enor-
nous.
I'VE believe that with a just cause
behind them the United States might
safely defy all the Vaccinations of hos
tile Europe, but in aggressive policy,
dictated by selfish Decuniary interests.
it must be said plainly that the United
States runs serious risk and how fatal
that might be to all the highest in
terestS of mankind are abundantly
clear. We trust that all wise and
rightly guided Americans viii sound a
warning against this bill. If the al
ternates for the republic are TO be on
one hand a policy of jingoism and on
the other a policy of crude cOnisca-
ton, then a very serious crisis for or
der, freedom and national safe gov
eminent will have arrived
The eresford-Lorillard stabls has
won f5.7S1 in stakes along at Rady
during the present season. Another
horseman has aggregated f1,1S3.
The promoters of the Passion
play at Oberammague foresee dimin-
ished profits for the next presentatio
in 1900 owing to the completion of the
Paris exhibition, and the committee
has submitted to the regent of Ba-
varia a proposition to break all tradi-
tons by advancing or deferring the
date by a year.
Catholic papers will oppose such a
step, saying the village and artists are
becoming vulgar calculatOrs, degrading
the sacred institution.

Hawaiian Annexation.

Washington, July 24.-While the SEN
ate was in executive session today Sen
ator Morgan suggested the Importance
of taking up and disposing of the Haw-
allan treaty before final adjournment
CT this session, but the suggestion was
met by motion of Mr.. Aldrich TO re-
sumo legislative business, /hich pre-
vailed without opposition.
Mr. Morgan did not make speech,
but he suggested that events of i'm
portance might transDire before an
other session Of congress which would
cause the senate TO regret its action.
The Alabama senator's suggestion
WASH seconded from any source, and
the indisDosition of the senate TO con-
slider, the matter was made so apps--
art that Mr. Morgan did not press it.
The understanding is that the treaty
will be taken I'd Immediately on the
converting of congress next December

A PECULIAR CASE.
WOMAN FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
ON EAST BRIGHAM STREET.
Cause Of Her Condition Gould Not Be
Ascertained By the Physician
The Woman Is Mrs. Essie Wright.

About u o'clock last night a young
woman was found in an unconscious
condition on Brigham street, near Fifth
East. She was lying on her face when
discovered, and was growing cold She
showed very little signs of life, and it
was reported that she was dead.
A colored man named Oliver Hunter
claimed that he first discovered her.
He was riding on Brigham street, and
said that he saw her fall dead He
Immediately rode to the city and sent
in a telephone message for the police
patrol TO visit the spot. Hunters story
is not given much credence. as it is
thought that the woman in question
had been lying on the street for over
an hour before Size was discovered,
and it seems rather strange that
man would ride off without first look
ing at the woman to ascertain the
nature of the accident.
The cause OF the condition in which
the woman was found is not known, as
she could not, or would not. make any
answers to the questions put to her. 1t
is thought, however, that it was due
to fright. She remained in a half I'M
conscious state until after being re-
moved to ST. Marks hospital.
The woman is supposed to be a Mrs.
Essie Wright, a widow Of about 80
years of age. She was employed at
the Templeton hotel between the 10th
and 10Th of this month as bookkeeDer,
and came to them excellently recon-
mended by eastern parties. Where she
has been or what she has been doing
since she left the Templeton cannot be
learned.

Will Doubtless Go Out.

Little Rock, Ark, July 24.-The Ga
zette today prints the following:
Everything indicates that western
miners will go out in sympathy with
their eastern brethren. Their local meet
ings, their conference held a few days
ago at Pittsburg, Kan, and the pres
ence of a number of eastern delegations
on the ground are sufficient proof that
the step is contemplated and that it
may occur on Aug. l. The action of
western railroads also shows that they
are expecting it. They are storing all
the coal they can get.
Should such a step be taken it will
seriously interfere with the business of
the country and especially with the
marketing of the principal products of
the west now ready for market, wheat
and cattle. 1t may be averted, but it
does not seem possible unless the de-
nands of the western miners are COM
pl;ed with

IN THE HOUSE.
Closing Scenes In the National
Legislature.

Washington, July 24.-When the
house resumed its session today at
noon many of the members believed it
would be the last day of the session,
and expressions of rejoicing were at
hand Whether il was the last day or
not il was understood ii was the last
day that business would be transacted
Most of the members had their lug
gage packed and were prepared to
leave the city tonight.
As soon as the speaker called the
house to order Mr.. Dingley moved
recess until $3.50 this afternoon In re-
ply TO a question. he explained that
the senate would vote on the tariff
conference report at o'clock, and it
was exceedingly important the house
should be in session when the engrossed
bill came back from that body.
Mr. McRae (Dem.. Ark attempted
to draw out of Mr.. Dingley a state
nent as to whether a currency COM
mission bill was to be passed this af-
ternoon, but the latter evasively re-
piled that there was as yet no such
lroDosition before the house.
Mr.. McRae said if the passage OF
such a bin was not contemplated many
Democrats would like to go home The
speaker then stated in view of the ap-
preach of the end of the session that
in his opinion it was the duty of every
member to remain. Otherwise said
he we may find ourselves without a
quorum ana every absent member will
be responsible"
The recess until $3.50 was then or

The throngs which crowded the sem
ate galleries when the vote was taken
there at 3 o'clock, fiocked over to the
