Brought Into RequisItiOn to Force G
Strike of Coal Miners.
WHEELING, w. Va, July This
morning, armed with pickhandles and
clubs, the Wheeling and Lake Erie
miners at Long Run, over the river.
proceeded to Dlllonville, a short dis
tance away on the same road, and
forced the working miners at the lat
ter place to go out on strike. The
deputy marshals had not arrived.
At Wheeling creek, opp osIte Wheel,
ing, in Ohio, the miners union met
yesterday afternoon and decided to go
on strike in obedience to the request OF
the United mine workers.
Back of Bellaire, on the Baltimore
& Ohio, two railroad mines are work
ing at the rate demanded by the min.
ers, 90 cents, but the striking miners
elsewhere are determined that the mAp
shall not work at these mines until
the strike is settled. There may be
trouble at these two points.
Strikes were inaugurated to-day at
the non-union mills of Anderson, Du-
puy & Co. and the Wayne iron works.
The employees of Anderson, Dupuy 6
Co. struck against a 20 per cent. reduc-
ton. About 400 men are affected.
The Wayne Iron Co.'S employees
want the S4.5 per ton pudding rate.
Painter 81 Sons mill, which has been
operated by the amalgamated men,
will be started non-union as soon as
enough men can be secured.
Yesterday morning the firm adver-
tised for worlHmen to take the places OF
the old men.

ABOUT THE WRITER'S.

Joseph Jacobs is editing "Jewish
Year Book, (which is to contain all man
ner OF information about the Jews and
have special literary features. Among
those who will contribute to it are Mr..
Zangwill and Israel Abrahams.
Mr.. Stuart Merrill and Mr.. Francis
Viele-G Griffin, both of whom write in
French, are the only two poets that
America now owns, according to NJ. de
Wyzewa, a recent French decadent
critic.
"The banister of life is full of slivers,"
says Checkers, the hero of Henry NJ.
Blossoms book of that name. But the
slivers in the path OF Checkers" seem to
be few. A second edition of,the book
was begun within two weeks of the ap-
pearance of the first.
George Zimmerman has compiled a
book containing selections from the
writings of royal writer's. 1t is en-
titled ''Princely Authors of the Nine
teenth Century" and contains contri-
buttons by William H., Ludwig IL, Al
exander III. and about 40 other kings,
queens, princes and princesses. Not a
few of the contributions are in verse.

AT HEADQUARTERS.
The Leaders Claim that Success Is Al
ready Assured.


COLUMBUS, O., july I'm speaking
of the strike to-day, President Ratch-
ford said: There is no longer any
doubt that an ultimate victory for the
miners is assured"
Mr.. Ratchford would not give fig
ures, but said the reports were favor.
able. The Cincinnati Central labor
council, in the matter of relief, has
recommended that the entire member
ship of the American Federation of
Labor be assessedten cents per man pc I
week. This will amount to $685.
Assurances of support from Mr.. Com
pers, of the American Federation OF
Labor, justifies the belief. Mr.. Ratch.
ford said that he will be glad to carry
out their wishes.
indications point to the fact that
railroad employees are taking a deep
interest in the trouble, and that may
lead to their refusal to handle non
union coal. The shipment of coal from
West Virginia fields to the lake mar.
ket has never exceeded six per cent. OF
the whole stock in any one season.
We recognize that it is a difficult mat.
ter to displace any coal to which con-
sumers become accustomed. The rem.
edy for this lies in the hands OF
some of those who complain
most bitterly. 1t is deplorable spec
tacle to witness coal from West Vir-
ginia finding its way to the lake, while
the mines between it and the West
Virginia fields are idle. The managers
of the railroads are giving a rate tc
West Virginia shippers which enables
them to enter the market at less
price than their own mines.

THE RUIZ CLAIM

To be Turned Over to Minister WOodforo
for Presentation to the Madrid Foreign
ONCE.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The state de-
partment officials, after week of hard
work, have completed the preparation
of our case in the prosecution of the
Ruiz claim, and after receiving the ap.
proval of the president it will be
turned over to Minister Woodford for
presentation to the Madrid foreign
Office when he sails from New York on
the 2Sth inst. In the preparation OF
this case Mr.. Calhoun, the United
States special com missioner, has con.
tributed the principal part, but the
law officials of the state department
have done much to present the facts
collected by him in the strongest light
and establish good basis for the claim
of indemnity, originally fixed at $780,
600, which is to be urged against the
Spanish government.

PENSION RULINGS.
Many Cases Now Pending VIII be Affected
Thereby.


WASHINGTON, July 9.-Many pension
cases are affected by the following rul-
ings which have just been made by AS
sistant Secretary of the Interior Web
ster Davis:
In the claim of Francis Frank of Co.
Fl, Sixteenth Michigan infantry. the
department holds that claimant who
has attained the age of ~ years shall
be deemed entitled to at least the min
imum rate of pension unless the evil
dence discloses an unusual vigor and
ability for the performance of manual
labor in one of that age.
In the case of Edward Moore, of the
Fourteenth Independent battery, Ohio
light artillery, this policy is laid down:
when it shall be shown that the pen
sioner's right to have the pension inure
wholly to his benefits being abridged
or forfeited by the malfeasance
of the guardian, and that the appoint
ing court will not administer relief,
then the commissioner of pensions
would be legally authorized to refuse
payment to the guardian and, if need
be, to pay the pensioner himself"
