st. Paul, July 6.--A telegram ad
dressed to Governor Clough from Bar
mum, Mimi. and signed by William
Cain, village. president stated that a
portion of the village had been destroy
ed by cyclone and flood. The governor
was asked for aid. Executive Clerk

THE MINERS STRIKE
Under the Direction of Ofhcers of
tho United Mine Workers.
HAS NOT YET BECOME GENERAL.
1t Is Nevertheless a Gigantic Movement
and WIN BE Farreaching In Its Eff
fects-In Some Places the Men
Have Refused TO Join.

Pittsburg, July 6.-The great struggle
of the coal miners was inaugurated
throughout the Pittsburg district yes
terday. 1t was day OF mass meet
ings. BY a preconcerted arrangement
of the district executive board OF the
United Mine Workers meetings were
held in nearly every mining settlement
that was represented at Saturdays con-
vention in this city, and the miners
were implored not to falter in the great
struggle that has begun.
When it is learned just how many
men refuse to go to work, then the
magnitude of the strike will manifest
itself. Much doubt is expressed as to
the action Of the Pittsburg and Chicago
miners on the Wheeling division of the
Baltimore and Ohio; the NJ A. Hanna
& Co.'S miners on the Pan Handle, who
are working under the 60 cent rate un-
der an ironciad contract, and the New
York and Cleveland miners at Turtle
Creek, Plum Greek and Sandy Creek.
The miners officials claim these men
will strike. and the operators say they
will not. In speaking of the strike
President Dolan said:
The coming week viii be busy one.
1 have every reason to believe that with
the exception of very few mines the
suspension will be general. Our men
realize that this is the fight of their
lives, and from the expressions OF de-
termination hear on all sides 1 have
every reason to believe the strike will
be successful"
How long viii 1t last, you ask? That
is difficult question to answer. But Of
one thing you can rest assured. We
are in good shape to stay out all sum-
De- 4I..k
have warm weather and a prospective
big demand for lake trade coal in sight,
which makes the time much more op-
perfume than in winter.
There is an erroneous impression
that by reason of so many industries
being shut down there will be little de-
mand for coal. It is not generally
known, but the supply of coal for the
manufactures in the Pittsburg district
is but a drop in the bucket when COM
pared with the lake trade. which sup
plies the markets where coal mines are
practically unknown"
I'he general suspension, to those in a
position to know, present some very
disoouraging features. The past winter
has been severe on the mining craft.
Business has been very dull, and in ad-
dition the lowest rate ever paid in the
district prevailed for the little work that
was done. Women and children have
been sufferers nigh unto starvation. and
many of them have been wards of the
county. With spring the conditions
were little improved. and during the
past month many mines have been run
ming continuously. What little has
been earned will be used in paying
debts contracted during the reign OF
semistarvation. It is expected at th'
meetings today to make an effort tG
convince the miners that by reason o.
the suspension being general victory II
likely 20 follow. 1t will be argued tha
the public Is in favor Of the miners be-
ing paid a higher price, and that gen
eral support will be forthcoming.

Cheeks, Deeds and Mortgage Contracts
May Ne Made to Yield . Revenue.
New York, May 3i.-Bankers arc in
tercsted. In dispatches announcing that
the finance committee of the Senate II
considering q proposition TO amend the
tariff bill by substituting for the tax
on tea and the increase Of the tax on
beer q tax on bank checks, deeds,
mortgages and other conveyances and
contracts.
Additional interest was impaired to
this subject by the fact that Senator
Plat has announced his determination
10 help secure this action.
The impression prevails, however,
that there IL not much likelihood Of
the adoption Of this substitute, which
IL generally opposed. Il. b. Randolph,
president Of the Continental National
bank, said.
II have always been In favor OF o
stamp tax on bank checks and other
instruments. l believe IL Is q prac.
ticable and fair way to raise money. /
was surprised when the old law was
repealed, and l cannot see why there
should be any opposition TO a provis-
lon OF this sort. One advantage about
. tax Of this kind Is that II Is easily
collectible."
At the National City bank II was
said that there are serious objections
to the tax on the part Of banks.
ION the face Of It," said James Ross
Curran, assistant cashier, "the tax Is
to DO paid by the person who draws
the check, but In reality the banks
would pay q considerable proportion
Of the tax. Checks would get In with.
out q stamp and the bank would put
stamps upon them. II Is thought that
the imposition OF the tax would cause
restriction Of the use of checks"
william Sherrer, manager Of the
clearing house, in discussing the oper-
alton Of the old stamp law, said:
1.-THE tax on checks used to be 2
cents, without references to the amount
Of the check, but there were stamps
ranging in value from that amount up
to $500. On mortgages, bonds md
other instruments the stamp repre-
sented q per ccntage Of the amount Of
the conveyance.
Banks would deposit say 81 900 and
get q certificate authorizing the issu-
ance OF stamps to the amount Of 81 $50
and afterward the stamp was made q
part OF the check, just printed on.
There was a margin Of 3 per cent on
amounts up to 500. of 4 per cent on
amounts up to $500 and OF 5 per cent
on amounts Of 8 1000, the premium be.
ing paid in stamps"
