RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.
Governor Atkinson's Advice to the
Miners Committee.


Charleston, W. Va, Aug. 5.-Gov-
ernor Atkinson has written to Messrs.
Gompers, Sovereign and Ratchford, a
committe on behalf of the striking
miners who called on him to inquire
concerning the injunction against them.
They asked what were their rights in
connection with addressing the miners.
The governor reminds them that his
office is executive, and that he cannot
interfere with the action of the courts,
but, he goes on to say, in his opinion
there is the utmost freedom allowed in
discussion in public places on any sub
Ject, the only restrictions being that
they must not trespass upon the prop
erty OF others, nor incite to riot or un-
lawful violence. He assures the men
that he will protect all citizens in the
exercise of rights of free speech, warn
ing them at the same time that if they
abuse that right by interfering with
the rights or property of others, he will
just as energetically use the power of
the state TO repress all lawlessness and
preserve the peace.

Pttsburg, Aug. 6.-The miners
strike situation has not changed ma
terially from yesterdays reports. Ev-
erything about the Turtle Creek camp
was quiet, the only ripple of excitement
being the hearing of President of Dolan
aDd other officials of the miners for
holding an unlawful assemblage. The
strikers claim 20 new accessions to
their ranks from the Plum Creek mines
today. A careful estimate Of the men
now at work in that mine shows 2l5 Of
the usual total of 285. No work was
done at the Oak Hill or the Sandy Creek
mines.
The camp was reduced in number to-
day by 300 men. They were sent to
their homes and because the men were
not inclined to respond to the numerous
marching orders imposed on them.
The camp has been costing $500 day
to keep it in provisions, etc., being at
the rate Of z cents per day per man, as
against 1S cents per day in the National
Guard encampments. The camp is
now under strict military discipline,
and everything is moving like clock
work. The customary march will be
made to Plum Creek in the early
morning, and will be continued daily,
the miners officials say. until the sus-
pension in the DeArmitt mines is com.
plete.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins & Company's Review
of Trade.

OF
The important factor in wheat last
week was the large foreign demand.
A lesser influence was the appearance
of the July bulls as large buyers of the
September.
The general view of the trade is that
the situation is favorable for compara-
lively high prices. The fact that the
market has had within fortnight an
advance of 10c per bushel, and that the
new crop movement has not fairly
started to keep, however, an influential
party in the field. AS to the final out
come of the situation, it is remarkable
how close speculators are together.
Their differences are hardly more than
as to the time for an advance and its
extent.
Receipts of new wheat at Chicago are
away under last years. The big Kan
sas crop shows in the arrivals at Kansas
City, which, without being so very
large, are good deal over l2 months
ago, yet the foreigners have taken all
of this Kansas wheat they could get
None of it is moving toward Chicago,
unless it is to go through to the other
side. The small receipts are more sig
niticant because July is 4c over Septem-
ber, an incentive to rush the grain here.
Furthermore, Chicago July is 1c and
"a over st. Louis, Toledo or Detroit.
The completed crop movement last year
developed that the 1896 winter wheat
yield was very much less than anybody
had assumed it to be. With July al
most ended the receipts this year at
Chicago are vastly less than last, the
weeks shipments exceeding the ar
rivals.
Our visible supply showed an in
crease of l,7S2, 900 bushels, and now
totals l7,8l4,O0O bushels, against 46,-
754, 900 bushels year ago this time.
The foreigners took freight room in
two days last week for az much wheat
as will be received at all the primary
markets in fortnight. 1t is certainly
nothing against the market that there
is clever active bull interest in it.
This has made it somewhat uncom-
Portable for the professional short
sellers. These latter have found out
that there was somebody to meet their
raids. The long line has not, however,
been large enough to be threatening.
and the tactics have at no time been
offensive. 1t looks as if the July would
go out at moderate premium over the
September, and as if the campaign
would be continued through September
