LOOkING FOR A BUSY TIME.
Western Merchants Preparing to DO
Heavy Business In the Future.

Heavy Business In the Future.
Chicago, Aug. 1--we must lay in
enough stock for an unusually busy sea-
son; the people will buy this fall things
which they haven't bought in three or
even four seasons past" That seems to
be the prevailing opinion among mer-
chants Of the smaller cities in the west
ern and central states. These men are
reaching Chicago in groups and squads
this week. The influx began Sunday,
continued yesterday, and probably the
largest crowd is in Chicago today.
This Is the time OF the first large fall
meeting Of the National Association Of
Merchants and Travellers. At 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the first meeting of
the season was called to order and pro-.
ceeded to discuss the money question.
A paper was read by John V. Farwell,
Jr., who treated Of 1.-THE advisability Of
appointing a currency commission" Far
well took up the subject from business
mans point of view.
Financial fiurries and panics, he held,
are due largely to the instability of the
currency. He therefore favored a re-
vision Of the laws by a commission Of
business men, who are familiar with the
practical as we'll as the theoretical side
Of the question.

French and italian Princes Fight Duel

French and italian Princes Fight Duel
The count of Turin (princc of Naples)
and Prince Henri of Orleans fought O
duel with swords at Paris. The fight
ing was most determined and lasted 90
minutes. There were five engage
ments, of which two were at close
quarters. Prince Henri received two
serious wounds in the right shoulder
anG the right side OF the abdomen.
The count of Turin was wounded in
the right hand. Prince Henri will re-
cover unless complications set in. The
duel grew out of certain criticisms
made by Prince Henri Of Orleans upon
the conduct Of Italian officers and
soldiers while prisoners of Emneror
Menelil, in Abyssinia.

MAKES ANOTHER CALL ON TANNER,
Intimating That If Blood Is Shed 1t Will
BE the Governors Fault,

Springfield, Ills, Aug. Ex-Governor
Tanner last evening received the fol-
lowing telegram from Coffeen, Ills,
dated Aug. II: "One word from the
governor will dispense the 500 or more
miners who are now besieging the viii
lage of Coffeen. Will you say that
word now or wait until the little town
is in ashes and possibly lives lost? The
presence Of the state militia might serve
a good purpose at this time. The min
ers declare their intention of disregard
ing the proclamation this evening. What
shall I do?' This is signed Henry N.
Randle. Sheriff."
The governor replied as follows: TN
reply to your message of today calling
for troops / will say that l am adj
vised that so far there has been no per-
sonal harm, no destruction OF property,
and no infraction of the law at Cof-
feen. shall not, on the vague anticipa-
ton of mob violence, send troops to
Coffeen. In the meantime it is your
duty to preserve the peace and protect
life and property"
Hillsboro, Aug. 18.-Six hundred strik-
ing coal miners, eight abreast, invaded
Coffeen at $3.50 o'clock yesterday after
noon, throwing aside the deputy sher-
ifs doing guard duty and going through
the town pell NELL The officials or
dered the guards not to shoot, but they
began making arrests as fast as posi-
BILE. General Bradley was the first
man placed under arrest and three
guards came to this city with him as
fast as horses could travel. He Is now
In the county Jail. other prisoners are
On the way here. No shots were fired
and no blood shed. The invasion was
for the purpose of Inducing the men
at work at the mine there to cease and
join the strike. The sheriff will in
crease his force OF deputies and the in
vaders will be compelled to leave the
town or there will be conflict.
Evansville, Ind, Aug. 1S.-Both the
sheriff and the police were ready yes
terday to give protection to the owners
of the First Avenue coal mine and
those Of the miners who still desired to
work, but when the deputy sheriffs and
a squad of police arrived at the mine
early in the morning they soon found
that their services were not needed.
At-the regular meeting of the striking
miners 1t was reported that there were
only about fifty men at work in the
four mines of this city which have not
yet suspended operations altogether,
but the mine owners claim that they
have a larger force at work and enough
men, at any rate, to supply the most
pressing of orders.s The leaders of the
marchers are out of town. but the men
are still camping near the city.

bad. He was sent for three years SER

Subsequently he became compositor.
In April, 1896, he was sentenced to
IS months imprisonment for dissemin-
ating anarchist propaganda, but he
escaped to Spain. He comes of an hon.

Cubans Winning Moro Victories.

Official information has reached Ha-
vana Of a decisive battle between Span
ish troops and insurgents in Matanzas
in which the Spanish were routed
after hard battle with heavy losses.
This news caused veritable sensation
in Havana, as Capt Gen. Wcyler is
now in Matanzas, and there is belief
that the Spanish troops directly under
him were those who suffered defeat at
the hands Of the rebels. A conscrva-
tive estimate places the number OF
Spanish killed at 200, while the rebel
loss was comparatively triling. 1t is
said that Gen. Gomez personally COM
manded the Cubans.

Spanish Army Routed-Weyler Resigns.
The New York Herald's Havana cor
respondent says that Capt Wey-
lers summer campaign came to an in
glorious end when he returned to Ha-
vana with rebels firing on his rear
guard all the way from Aguacate to
Havana.
Gen. Weylcr cablcd his resignation
to Madrid, and l saw copy of the
reply he received. He was told
to remain in Cuba so long as the pres
ent ministry holds power. The cap
tain-general who succeeds Gen. Weyler
will have a hard task. The splendid
force of of 2OO,0 men Spain placed in
Gen. Weyler's hands is, if the truth
be told, only tattercd remnant.
With the exception Of the fortunate
ones stationed in. and about Havana,
the Spanish soldiers are in a bad way.
They have not received their pay for
months, they are weak from illness
and poor feeding, they arc badly
clothed and many have no shoes. In
short, the Spanish army in Cuba is not
inclined and not in position TO take the
offensive.
The garrisons of all interior towns

True happiness does not begin for wo-

W0MENINTHE RANKS
NEW TACTICS ADOPTED IN THE RAIDS
ON The MINES.

Idea Is That the Injunction Does Not
Cover the New Aiiies--Farmers to Make
I March of sympatby-Crisis Is on at
Colleen, Ills.
Pittsburg. Aug. 1S.-The contemplated
plan to have the women make marches
which was to have been inaugurated
yesterday, has been definitely decided
upon by the leaders, and the wives and
daughters of the strikers will now take
up the work which the men have been
enjoined from doing. 1t is the intention
to begin today and have the women do
the marching while the men remain in
camp. The leaders think the injunction
is not operative against women and It
remains to be seen what the outcome
Will be. A new element Is to be intro
duced in the situation at an early date.
The farmers of the entire country sur
rounding the several camps are making
extensive preparations for demonstra-
tion to show their sympathy for the
strikers. They propose to have a parade
headed by a band and march down the
Salisbury road and up over the hills.
There will be no "On to the mines"
sentiment or any effort to get the min
ers out.
Demonstrate Purely for Sympathy.
No missionary work is to be at
tempted; the demonstration Is purely
for the purpose of showing sympathy
for the strikers. The preparations for
the event have been carried on secret
ly, but the story was given out last
night by one of the prime movers. He
says the class of men who will COM
pose the parades has no fear of inter-
ference, and will not disband at the
command of a few deputies. About 600
strikers from Thoms' Run, accompanied
by about $50 women and children,
marched to Camp Victory" near
Canonsburg yesterday. They will re-
main at the camp until Saturday, when
a meeting will be held. Several of the
officials will be present and address
the meeting. About 500 more men and
women are expected to arrive at the
camp by Saturday.
Women March on "a Mine.
Yesterday afternoon line was formed,
headed by the band and led by the
women, and march made to the mine
OF Cook & Sons, where operations are
still being carried out, although but a
few men are at work. About thirty of
these miners joined the strikers.
True Uniformity Makes Slow Progress.
In the opinion of number of coal
operators the uniformity agreement, ad-
mittedly a good thing, will not receive
the support it's articles are said to war
rant. A canvass of operators shows
that they are not rushing to the COM
mittee with signed agreements in their
hands. In fact they are all holding
back and each one seems waiting to see
what the other fellow intends to do. The
uniformity committee refuses to divulge
the names of the operators who have
affixed their signatures to the instru-
ment, and inquiry tends to show that
only three firms have made a decisive
step in the matter and placed their
signatures to the agreement. A num-
Der of coal men stated that they had
the question under advisement although
they thought it improbable that they
would sign. The committee claims to
have secured the signatures of num-
Der of coal firms and operators whose
places of business are out of the city.

Robbed in Portland.

The Ellsworth American Esays that a
few weeks ago a consignment of rats ar
we'd in Ellsworth, billed through and
freight paid, and addressed to one OF
Ellsworth's leading merchants who is
widely known as practical joker. 1t
happened that the shipment was made
while his friend, the colonel, himself a
practical Joker, was in Augusta, the
shipping point of the rats.
Last week 1.-The colonel was at Portland
attending to his official duties as MEM
Der of the Governors staff-and hand
some figure he was too. He stopped at a
popular hotel, where guests are pretty
we'll looked after.
But in spite of the great care taken Of
him at Rigby, and in spite of the watch
fitness of the hotel management, some
william was slick enough to relieve him of
quite a sum of money-at least this is
the report that got into the newspapers.
The colonel says it isn't SO and that the
report originated with the consignee of
the rats, who was trying to get even with
him,

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. NJ. F. Hicks
was sitting at his desk in his office on
Commercial street. His chair was tipped
once he felt very warm sensation about
the knees and, looking down, he saw the
great waste basket full of papers was
ablaze. A spark from the cigar had
probably set the papers on fire. Mr..

of the window into the street, and then
employed himself picking out of the
burning debris valuable papers that had
dropped into the fire.

LUTHERAN CONFERENCE.
The Sessions VIII Begin Today at Elm
Street Church,

The Atlantic Conference of the United
Lutheran church win open this evening
in the First Lutheran church on Elm
street. This comprises all the United
Lutheran churches along the Atlantic
seaboard, of which, however, there are
but seven. The exercises will ali be in
the Norwegian language, and unlike
other ecclesiastical councils, only evening
sessions will be held with the exception
OF Sunday, when there will be morning,
afternoon and evening exercises. Rev.
M. II. Hegge of Brooklyn will preach
sunday morning, and among other dis
tlnguished divines. expected to be present
are Rev. IL. G. Ruhe of Staten Island,
N. Y, Rev. Rosing of Philadelphia and
Rev. Seltyedt of Norfolk, Va, also Rev.
5. N. Garmoe of Berlin Mills, n. H,
and the noted lay preacher. Edward
Brekhus.
There will not be a long list of theo-
logical problems presented at this con-
ference and the gathering is peculiar in
the fact that but two topics will be up for
consideration. One of them is What can
we do to retain the young folks for the
church," and the other, "What can the
young people learn from the character of
Joseph" The conference will continue
until Wednesday evening inclusive.
AT the same time the Danish Lutherans
will hold conference at Westb1ook.
There are five Lutheran churches in
Maine, but the ElmIstreet church is the
only one belonging to the united order.
The others are known as the Swedish
and Danish Lutherans, two of which are
located in Portland and one each in Fal-
mouth and Westbrook.
