PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 24.-Besides
what they term battle for bread, the Of
ficials of the United Mine Workers have
arranged to make battle in the courts
for money. 1t will be for money in
the hands of certain operators in
the Pittsburgh district, kept from
the wages of the men who
went on strike. In accordance
with instructions received from Ma
tional President Ratchford and the
members of the national executive
board, the local district officials have
placed the matter in the hands of their
attorneys and suits are to be brought
for more than $4,000, the amount
strikers have forfeited. The
suits will be brought on the
validity of ironclad contracts which
the men signed. In these contracts it
was agreed that, as a guarantee of good
faith ON the part of the employee, the
employer should retain ten per cent. Of
the employees wages. When the men
struck this money was declared for
feited and withheld from them by the
operators.

Thomas E. Young, manager for M.
A. Hanna 81 Co., received a telegram
to the effect that the operatives at the
Reynoldsville and Watson mines in the
West Virginia fields had joined the
strikers.

For some reason West Virginia coal
is not arriving in Cleveland in any con.
siderable quantity. 1t would appear
that the railroads, their denials not
withstanding, are confiscating it at the
price at the mine on cars. Reliable
dealers declare there is a market in
Cleveland for every pound of coal COM
ing forward.

CANoNsBURG, Pa, July 24.-No trou-
BILE has yet occurred at McGovern. No
effort was made by the strikers to pre-
vent operations at the mines. About
300 of the strikers returned to Miller's
Run and Bower Hill yesterday morn
ing to secure food and reinforcements.
A heavy rain fell Thursday night and
very much dampened the ordor of the
strikers as they were camped
in an open field. Orders were
gwen by the leaders yesterd ay
morning to the effect that all
entrances to the mines are to be closely
guarded, and any miners caught going
to work would be halted and entreated
to join the strikers. If they refuse
force will be used. Should this plan
fail more stern efforts will be made to
compel the miners to join their ranks.
A brass band and drum corps enliv-
ened the scenes about the camp yester-
day morning, and a march was made
to the mine through the principal
streets and return.
About forty deputies are on guard at
Cooks mines. The strikers are quiet
and orderly, however, and do not make
any threats of violence, yet they are de-
termined. No firearms were noticed
about the camp.

The Efforts Put Forth In Favor OF Arbi-

for Meeting of Operators 20 ne A ssI
turbed Districts Presents No Material
Change.
PrrrsBuRaH, Pa, July 24.-The situa-
kion in the district has not materially
changed. The efforts of the arbitra-
ton commission have been so far sue
cessful that q call for meeting of
operators on Tuesday next has been
issued. Il is signed by w. p. DeArmitt'
for the New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal Co.;J. B. Zerbe for the Ohio and
PennsyIvania Coal Co.; E. Il. Young
for M. A. Hanna 81 Co.; George w.
Schlendbery for the E. /. Robbins Co,
and other leading operators OF the
district. These names signed TO
notice of meeting were sufficient
guarantee to the attendance OF the
meeting.
w. P. Rend will also be al1ed to sane
ton the signing of his name to the
call. He is now in Chicago.
The Canonsburg region has produced
no sensational features to-day. The
striking miners are still encamped near
the Allison and Boone mines to per-
suade workers from going to work. out
as the hearing in the injunction case
was postponed from this afternoon un.
til Monday, there is little danger OF
any conflict at present because the
mine owners have announced that
their mines would remain closed down
until after the hearing.
So far as the injunction is concerned
the strikers claim it will have no eff
feet, as it restraints them from what
they have no intention of doing. They
say that they will modest no one; that
they are content to wage battle OF
peace and order, and that as they have
public sentiment on their side they are
bound to win. Should the injunction
be made perpetual the operators, 1t Is
surmised, will make an attempt to re-
sumo work. If they do there Will be
trouble, as long as there are any strik-
ers in the vicinity of the mine.
There are vague rumors of march
ON the mines of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal Co. There is no
doubt among those who are in posi-
ton to know that such move is con-
templated, but just at what time Is
kept a profound secret.
While all this is going on, the Turtle
Creek, Sandy Creek and Plum Creek
mines are working steadily and with
out interference. The employees claim
that they will pay no attention to the
strikers and want to be left alone.
| On the other hand the miners
officials claim that their organ
| izers who have been at work in secret
| have laid the foundation for general
laying down of tools when the proper
| time arrives. Much depends on the
situation in West Virginia. If that
section comes out the New York and
Cleveland mines will naturally be the
! pivotal point.

Ottawa. June 23-Pedestrians along
the half deserted streets near by
corner of Fourth and Main about the
hour of II o'clock last evening, were
startled by hearing an unearthly yell
followed instantly by the swift patter-
ing of footsteps on the pavement, &C
companied by a wheezy, swishing noise
very much like that of a Ieaky bel
lows.
Those who were curious to know
what these strange sounds meant, made
hasty steps to reach the spot, and, when
they did so, were amazed to see on one
side of the street an excited darkey and
on the other side, gazing at him with
fiery eyes, open mouth and wiggling tail
a real live, half grown alligator When
the coIored lad had sufficiently recover
ed his breath from the scare, he began
to tell how it happened.
1t was James Todd, who lives just
around the corner of the lumber yard.
He was walking along up street, close
to the inside not noticing particularly
where his footsteps fell, when suddenly
he caught sight of a dark shadow just
where he was about to plant his foot
It snOrted and Todd gave jump. 1t
opened it mouth and the negro ned in
terror. When he looked back it had
chased him a few feet to the corner,
where it had evidently stopped a. few
minutes to size up its bait before pur-
suing it any further.
When several spectators had collect
ed. Todd got a little holder and Ven
tured up to the animal 1t save snort
and started after him, and away they
all flew. Finally the idea occurred 10
them that they would capture the ami
NAL. NO one knew where it had come
from. They succeeded in trapping the
alligator. but in doing so the vicious
jaws of the brute came within a skins
glance of reaching a leg of Earl Davis.
It was discovered that the prize was
pet belonging to w. o. LerA@rt's drug
store. It had escaped and the owner
had not noticed that it was missing.

Gov. Rogers of Washington Thinks
the State Can Protect Itself

Tacoma, Wash, June 23.-Gov. Rog-
ers stated in reply to a question re-
garding the Debs colony, that the laws
of the state would be maintained and
would not be TevOlutioniZed by any
body or any set of men. He did not
believe that Mr.. Debs had stated that
he proposed to stir up revolution and
revolutiOnize this government. But so
far as the state of Washington is con-
cerned, he said, the laws would be sus-
tanned if every loyal citizen had to be
enlisted to do it. He did not anticipate
that the Debs colony would throw into
the state a lot of men who had no
means of supporting themselves. He
had some correspondence with Mr..
Debs, and the plan of colonizati
which the governor approves, is that of
having 100, 900 or a large body of men
contribute a small amount, say 25 cents
per month toward colonizing pur-
poses. This would bring $25, 900 per
month to this state, provided Debs To-
Gated his colony here and the people of
the state generally desire to encourage
an enterprise that will bring that
amount of money here for development
purposes.
The governor expects the colony to
make a small beginning and gradually
develop strength. Debs and a commit
tee will first come to the state and in

Washington, June 23.-The treasury
department within the last week has
received considerable number of re-

At least once a year the treasury
meets demands for small notes from the
west and south where they are needed
for the movement of the crops. Rarely
however has the inquiry begun earlier
that the tenth or the middle of July
and therefore it is assumed that the call
for notes of small denominations is not

BATEMAN'S IRE PERSONAL.
The Maine.iac Seems to be a Cantan-
kerons Mischief Maker.

The announcement in the dispatches
in the Journal last night that Priof. L.
c. Bateman, Populist candidate for gov
ernor in Maine in the last campaign,
would show up Mr.. Bryan's record at
the middle of the road POpulist conven-
ton at Nashville, has been response
bic for the development OF the inside
history of the defeat of Arthur Sewall
OF Maine before the POpulist conVen-
ton at St. Louis, which nominated Tom
Watson for vice president.
Before the national convention at st.
Louis Bateman was nominated as the
Populist candidate for governor of the
state ofMaine. He attempted to per-
suade the Democrats to nominate him
and effect a fusion deal The Demo-
Gratis, headed by Arthur Sewa1, after
wards the Democratic candidate for
vice president, refused to recognize
Bateman, and nominated a gold stand
ard Democrat in the person OF E. b.
Winslow for governor.
Bateman became very angry and he
succeeded in getting a delegation to the
ST. Louis convention which was in
structed against Sewan. Bateman took
his followers to ST. Louis, where night
and day he worked against Sewall and
succeeded in helping to down the Maine
man, securing the nomination Of Tom
Watson. AS soon as the convention
had nominated Watson, Bateman sent
the following telegram home to his po-
litical friends:
Have Arthur SeWa1IS scalp Gang
ling at my belt. Tom Watson nominal
ed"
After the st. Louis convention Win
slow, the gold standard Democratic can
didate for governor, withdrew, and the
party named L. J. Frank, a silver Dem
ocrat.
This caused Bateman's indignation to
increase as he had previously demanded
that Winslow's name be taken from the
state ticket and his placed there as the
Democratic nominee for governor
The Democrats declined to do this,
and Bateman went to Mr.. Bryan with
his troubles. The then candidate for
president declined to in any manner in
terfere with Maine politics and Mr.
Bateman's fight upon Bryan at this
time is prompted by the action of the
latter in refusing to aid Bateman in
his own local fight.
General dissatisfaction has caused Mr.
Bateman to join Abe Steinberger's
crowd of malcontents who will convene
