EDISON IS BEATEN. I
ChicaRo Man Solves the Problem of Com
n,unicstin9 With Moving Trains.

CHICAGO Man Solves the Problem Of Com
nuuicating With Moving Trains.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.-The most diff
cult problem of railroad operation-how
to communicate by telegraph with a
moving train anywhere on the line. has
been solved by a young Chicago in
ventor. Edison, who has been expert
meuting with induction currents, has
been fairly beaten on his own chosen
ground.
George V. Trott, former telegraph
operator, has devised system which
will shortly be put in operation on the
Pennsylvania railroad, by which every
train on the line is il. constant commu-
nication with tho station next ahead,
and, when desired, with the train dis
patcher or any public telegraph station.
Briefly, every train on road equipped
with the Trott system, would at all
times be ON ''loop'' circuit extending
to the next telegraph station ahead, and
to send messages farther or receive
them from other stations, the operator
at the proper station would only have
to .'cut in" by means Of o ''jackspring
on one of the regular telegraph wires.
Mr.. Trott's device is exclusively me-
chanical. It involves no new or untried
principles, and will require no more
power to operate it than the ordinary
duplex cell battery at the regular tele.
graph station.

DELAY STARTING THE MINES

Another Ten Days VIII Bo Given for Old
Men to Go to Work.
P1TTsBURa, Aug. 30.-The first mines
in the Pittsburg district to be started
in the attempt to break the big coal
strike will be those of the Chicago and
Pittsburg Gas Coal company, on the
Wheeling division Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. All the arrangements
have been completed for putting the
mines in operation, but the company
prefers to have the old men return, and
for that reason, has decided to defer
action for 10 days.
A sufficient number of men has al
ready been engaged, but there are no
accommodations for them, at present.
The company has taken steps to secure
possession of it's houses and during the
day all the tenants will be served with
legal notice to vacate within 10 days.
The company leased all the available
property in the vicinity, to prevent the
strikers camping about the mines, and
President Van Emans says the men who
60 to work will be given ample protec-

GRAVE DANGER OF FAMINE.

idle men at Dawson, and new parties
are arriving every day. Miners return
ing from the Klondike, who left there
in July, report that food was running
low then, and it was disposed of as fast
as discharged from the steamers. O4d
timers realize the situation and predlct
distress and death as result OF the

Small Operators in the Pittsburg District
Have Plan.
P1TTsBURG, Aug. 30.-The small coal
operators in the Pittsburg district, who
are in the majority, arei in revolt against
the "big thirteen" or lake shippers and
threaten to put their mines in operation
at the rate demanded by the miners, SO
cents, next week, if the miners officials
will allow their men to return to work.
Instead of selling their product to the
''big thirteen" as heretofore, they will
forward to the different markets them
selves. Miners President Dolan said
that if the small operators could show
how they were going to sell their coal
outside of the syndicate, he would read
lily give his consent to their plans to re-
sumo work. The "big thirteen" are
owners of the different mines where the
most bitter fight against the demands
of the miners is being made and they
practically control the coal trade in
this part of the country.

ERA OF BETTER PRICES.

London Times Secs Reason For Believing
Wheat Prices Will Remain High.
LONDON. Aug. 80. The Times, in an
editorial article on the wheat question,
expresses the opinion that the era OF
better prices is coming, the long period
of depression caused by the constant ad'
dition of the acreage Of wheat rendered
possible by the extension Of railways
into new countries, and the enormous
increase of the tonnage Of steamships
having come to an end for the present.
The area of accessible virgin soil is
much reduced, the article says, and I'M
til the railways in Argentina and other
wheat countries shall have been ex-
tended, pause in the increase Of pro-
duction may be anticipated.

The common report among returning

been staked of, and that the owners
will refuse fabulous prices for their
claims.
No new. discoveries are reported from
the upper countries. The hillside abut'
ting on the richest claims on BONANZA

several quartz claims have been filed
upon them in the same vicinity. The
rock taken out of the quartz claims is
rich, but the hillside claims are not
showing up much.
1t has been stated that the North
American Trading and Transportation

will be not merely to protest against the

but to formulate plans to compel a re-
