Object of the Strike.

Terre Haute, Ind July 6.-Presi-
dent Knight, of district No. IL, United
Mine Workers of America, officially
confirmed the news of miners strike.
His estimate, however, Of the men who
will be involved is about 10000 Mr..
Knight says the object of the strike is
to clear out the markets, and counsel
the operators to pay living wages tc
their men. He declares it is not a war
upon operators, and the miners do not
SO regard it. They admit, according
to Mr.. Knight, that the operators are
not responsible for the present aggra-
waited condition of affairs, but are, like
the men they employ, the victims of
overproduction and under-consumption

may not be especially hopeful as to the
outcome of the strike.

THE MURDERED CHILD FOUND
It Was Buried Near the Foot of Mont

It Was Buried Near the Foot of Mont
gomery Gulch.
Portland, Or, July AT last the
story of "Sandy" Soper's local crime is
complete.
When the murderer arrived in Mis-
souri,, to answer for the murder of his
former wife and two children there,
about six years ago, he wrote to his
heart-broken wife here, to the effect
that when he deserted her, on the 18th
of last April, taking their 2-year-old
child with him, he killed it and buried
the remains. Search was made for the
little body, and it was found near the
mouth of Montgomery gulch covered by
a comparatively thin layer of earth. 1t
was identified by its raiment, which
was the same it had on when taken
from, home by its inhuman father on
it's death journey.
The coroner's inquest but added to
the horror of the crime.
The child had been buried alive!
DR.. Kessler, in his evidence, showed
concluslively that Soper attempted to
strangle the little one, and as it re-
laxed into inconsistencies believed he
had accomplished his horrible work.
The murderer then proceeded to bury
the body. A hollow grave was dug and
the still unconscious infant placed in
it. The child's cap was then drawn
over its face and dirt and brush piled
upon the body. Soper then left the
scene. Hardly had he reached the top
of the trail, according to DR.. Kessler,
before the child revived, and working
it's baby hand free from the weight of
dirt and debris holding it down, tore
away the cap from its face in an effort
to gain breath. Its baby strength was,
however, insufficient to raise the load
pressing the poor little body down.
That the child struggled is shown in
the contorted position of the limbs as
the child lay in its rude grave. The
verdict of the coroner's jury was death
from strangulation and suffocation,
charging Soper with murder.

NATIVE RIOTS IN CALCUTTA
European Population Threat
ened by Mohammedans.
THE SITUATION is CRITICAL

Effected Soon.

The Trouble Is Due to the Weakness
of :OmciaIs-A Compromise May Be
Effected Soon.
Calcutta, July EN- the fighting
which took place yesterday in a suburb
of Chilpore, between the police and
rioters, many policemen were injured.
Twenty-four native policemen were sur
rounded by mob and so roughly ham
died that all of them are expected to
die of their injuries. The rioters suf-
fered heavily, but they carried off their
dead and wounded.
A compromise on the plague meas
ures having been arranged between the
authorities and the rioters, the disturb
ances have ceased.
The absence of rain is causing the
greatest anxiety throughout India.
The rioting arose out of the growing
practice of the Mohammedans of seiz-
ing and refusing to pay rent for certain
so-called mosques, built, contrary to
the tenets of the Mohammedan religion,
on ground belonging to infdels. The
demolition of mud hut, a so-called
mosque, led to the outbreak. The riot
ers were continually reinforced in re-
sponse to kilograms sent up the country
appealing to all true Mohammedans to
come to the aid of their coreligionists.
For 4S hours, the police and military
were repeatedly obliged to clear the
streets. Detached parties of Moham-
medans stoned Europeans wherever
they found them, in some cases drag
ging them from their glarries.
All the telegraphic lines were cut
and the buildings containing Europeans
were besieged. There were many mar
row escapes. The rioters sounded war
cries, shouted vile epithets and grossly
.insulted the European women. In sew
eral parts of Calcutta, it is still danger
GUS for Europeans to go about, and it is
likely to remain SO. owing to the ma
ture of the compromises by which the
riot was brough to an end.
The trouble is greatly increased by
the absence of the higher officials, most
of whom are now in the hills. Those
who remained behind hesitated to un-
dertake the responsibility of extreme
measures. The result was that the
troops were not allowed to fire or to
take the offensive, and even when ex-
posed to every kind of indignity and
insult, their behavior and self-restraint
under the circumstances were admira-
BILE.
It is understood that the compromise
is based upon the unconditional surren-
der of the lands, but it is believed that
this concession will prove a standing
menace to the safety of every Euro
pean, as the rioters will celebrate the
victory throughout all India.
In spite of the cessation of the riots,
the situation is regarded as extremely
grave, and il is felt that unless some
official is invested with plenary pow
ers during the absence of the governing
authorities, European citizens will be
compelled to act on their own respon-
sibility.

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

Outside of some little manipulation
of July options, markets were dull and
fairly steady last week. Spring wheat
in the Northwest is above the average,
both as to quality and acreage sown.-
The whole Southwest from Kansas City
to Galveston is feeling elated over the
crop of winter wheat. The Kansas
hard wheat is of fine quality. Texas
has big crop.
Proctor Taylor, the well-known mill
ler of Quincy, ILL.,, and member Of the
Chicago board of trade, has just re-
turned from trip to Oklahoma, where
he has been to see for himself about
the likelihood of getting quantity of
soft red wheat for his mill. The result
of his inquiries and observations on the
spot was, in his opinion, that Oklaho-
ma would raise between 20,000,000
and 25,0OO,OO bushels of excellent
quality wheat unless his information is
largely astray on acreage. He saw a
field threshed that yielded 43 bushels to
the acre, and returns Of 35 and 38
bushels were quite frequent. His OBJ
servation was confined to the line of the
Santa Fe Railroad, an he said only the
best farmers-those having threshing
facilities of their own had yet
tlfreshed their wheat, but withal he
came to the above conclusion as to the
total yield.
The Minneapolis Market Record of
June 20 says: The prospect for wheat
in the Northwest is not impaired dur
ing the past week. The growth is very
heavy and the head is forming. By
opening the straw it is found that the
heads are of unusual length. There is
nothing now in sight to prevent large
yield. 1t is to be borne in mind that
there is yet time for many accidents.
If no accident happens to it there
ought to be more than 100000, 900
bushels harvested in Minnesota and
the Dakotas. Allowing 60, OO0,0 900 for
the other spring states and about 3d.
900, 900 of winter wheat, which is now
practically assured, and the outlook is
for crop for this country of 575, ,000,-
900 bushels of wheat. The question OF
price is also promising, for with the
small stocks to be carried forward, in
all countries, the new crop will go
more quickly into consumption and
leave small surplus to be carried over
to another crop.

New York, July 5.-A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Ha-
vana says:
General Weyler will require at least
10000 more troops to conquer the east
ern provinces and hold them for Spain.

ler's general staff, and private secre-
tary to the commander in chief, will

900 additional recruits.

at Sancti Spiritus, where Weyler has
directed the immediate organization of
IA columns, at the head of which he
trocha and invade Puerto Principe
province. where Calixto Garcia's forces
are said to be massing.
Weyler expects great pitched bat
tie when he meets Garcia, the result OF
which may be the turning point in the
war. Should Weyler's army meet
with defeat, Spain will then be ready
to listen to President McKinley's offers
of Intervention. If Spain wins, and
Garcia is routed, Weyler will assume a
magnanimous lole, proclaim general
amnesty. and offer the Cubans complete
autonomy and full personal and polit-
ical guarantees under the Spanish flag.
Should these overtures be refused, it is
predicted that the war of determination
will be waged to the bitter end.

that agents of the American sugar
trust are now in Cuba buying up all
the best plantations, and urges Weyler
to prevent by special decree foreigners
from buying or holding real. estate
here in future.
