Will go to San Sc Bastian to be Presented to
the Queen Received Out of C,lstom-
arv Mannar

Washington, Aug. 27.-Genaral Wood
ford, minister to Spain, has cabled the
State Department that he will leave
Paris on the 31st for San Sebastian,
where the Queen Regent iss spending the
summer.
Recent reports from Sgain said that
the Queen Regent would not receive
Minister Woodford until she returned to
Madrid, but the State Department ha )
been aware for some time that General
Woodford would be received at San Sc
bastian unless the Queen contemplated
returning to Madrid veyy soon after his
arrival, in Spain.
1t has been unusual TO receive foreign
ministers where no coSlrts have been es-
tablished and no court has been main
tanned at San Sebastian. Minister Cush-
ing and Lowell were, received at resorts
outside of Madrid, Eut royal courts had
been established at these courts.
While there has been no apparent hur-
ry by General W9odford to reach his
destination, yet the fact is apparent that
he would not goEto San Sebastian
to be received out of the or
dinary custom, unless it was felt that he
ought soon to begin to carry out his min
istrations as to Che policy of the United
States regarding Cuba. AS soon as Gem
eral Woodford is received he will be in
a position to open negotiations with the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs who
could not recognize him as minister until
he had been received by the sovereign.

EDUCATED TO ECONOMIZE
STATISTICS SUSTAIN THE CLAIM
OF SECRETARY BRIGHAM.
FARMERS WILL PAY OFF MORTGAGES
laboring Man Will be Benefited, Says the
Secretary--Vast Amount of Money Put in
Circulation and Work Will be Given
the Idle al Fair Wares.
the Idle at Fair Wages

Washington, Aug. 27.-Assstant Sec
retary Brigham of the Agricultural De-
partment to-day expressed the opinion
that the American farmers this year
would receive in the aggregate from four
to five hundred million dollars in excess
of that received last year for their farm
products. This" he said, "means much
to the farmers. They have learned in
the season of hard times through which
they have passed to ecOnomize where they
could and to be careful in buying. They
will use this money they receive for their
crops to pay off their debts, cancel mort
cages and in making improvements on the
farm and the farm buildings. This
seems like a vast sum but statistics sus-
tain the claim"
Col. Brigham also predicted that the
increase in the price of farm products
would benefit the laboring element.
''The price of labor" he said, did
not decline with the price OF farm pro-
ducts and for some time the farmer was
forced to pay as much for the services
of those who did this work as ever,
whilst his receipts were cut in two. In
asmuch as wages did not decline, see
no reason why they should be expected
to rise to correspond with the advance
of farm products which are now bring
ing only fair prices. STILL the lab0ring
man will be benefited by this advance
in prices. The farmer will discharge his
indebtedness and make improvements
which will require labor.
He will purchase more of the products
of labor, putting vast amount of money
in circulation and this will create a de-
mand for labor in all lines and men who
have been without employment or only
partially employed, will work full time at
fair wages"

Several Operators Offer SO Cents and
Protection to Families.

| Pittsburg. Pa, Aug. 27.-Coai opera
tors of the Pittsburg district have not
been asleep during the past few days.
The impression in certain circles that
there would be no attempt made to start
the mines seems to have been establish
ed for a purpose and that purpose was
to divert the attention of the miners Of
ficials. 1t has been definitely decided to
start several mines along the Wheeling
division of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. The preliminaries were all COM
pleted tonight 1t was given out that
the Cleveland shippers had gone to their
homes for the ostensible purpose of await
| ing the result of the st. Louis conven-
ton. Some of them went but others did
not Those remaining behind were men,
bers of the newly appointed committee
whose duty it is to perfect the arrange
| ments for starting some of the mines
and in the end break the strike.
One of the first moves was to get in
touch with the railroad companies. The
officials of the railroads at once agreed
to cooperate with the operators in bring
ing about. if possible, an era of activity
in the coal producing industry of the
Pittsbufg district. 1t was made very
apparent that the railroads were losing
la large amount of business and that
they were fellow sufferers with the coal
operators. The question of expense of
getting imported labor into the district
was discussed and the railroad companies
agreed TO share their portion of the out
lay.
President Patrick Dolan shook his
head when the question of starting the
mines by the operators was broached
yesterday.
II don't believe they will make such an
attempt," he said. II am OF the opinion
that they will wait until after the con-
vention at ST. Louis. Just now it would
bc big undertaking to start mines in
this district with imported men. Yet they
may be sincere in their intentions"
Henry Floersheim is trying to get his
miners to agree 10 go to work at the ~
cent tate and says they would do so but
they fear personal violence. To these he
has made the proposition that he will
care for their families in case they are
killed.
Barring and McSweeney's defective
agency on Fourth avenue has been hiring
men for the last day or two 20 go and
guard mines and is said to have secured
over 100.
james Jones & Sons posted notices at
their Castburg and Ivil mines this
morning to the effect that the mines
would be started up at the 50 cents rate
whenever the men are willing to go to
work.
About 500 miners are affected and
meeting will likely be held to consider
the proposition.

NO SALUTE FOR M'KINLEY.
Cleveland People Failed to Arrive at the
Dock to Greet the President. but Later
Gave Him a Salute.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 27.-President
Mckinley surprised the people of Cleve-
land on his arrival from Buffalo this
morning. He will remain until next
Wednesday.
The reception of the President was
not as elaborate as had been planned.
There was no presidential salute fired by
the naval reserves from the old revenue
cutter Andrew Johnson; the cannon OF
steam and sail craft did not belch forth
in deafening sounds in welcome of the
President: banners anr flags did not flut
ter in the breeze in honor of his coming
There was reason for the absence of
all this ceremony, which had been
planned on an elaborate scale. 1t was
lacking because the presidential party ar
rived in Cleveland several hours ahead
Of schedule time, or, rather, the time an
ticipated by those who had planned the
local reception.
The Comanche, which brought the
presidential party from Buffalo, arrived
inside Of the Cleveland harbor at $50
O'Clock. There she lay at anchor until Z
o'clock, when she steamed into the inner
harbor and made fast at the dock of the
Pennsylvania company.
President Mckinley was asked his
impression concerning prosperity, as
gathered from his trip across the country.
You had better ask business; men
about that" he replied. They can give
you better information than | can"
At 80 o'clock the carriages arrived at
the dock and the party left the Co
manche. The crowd had increased but lit
tie in size since the yacht first tied up
at TIE dock. There were not more than
$50 people in sight.
President Mckinley decided to spend
the afternoon quietly at Mr.. Hanna s
home. Tie naval reserves. however, were
determined not to be deprived Of it's
presidential salute. The Andrew Johnson
accordingly steamed out into the lake off
i1annas' residence, and after firing i
guns, returned to the harbOr.
Those who came from Buffalo on the
Comanche were President and Mrs. Nc
Kinley, Secretary and Mrs. Alger. Miss
