Present Struggle Has Reached
Proportions Surprising to
;. All Concerned. 1@
Niners Elated Over the Sit

of Success. '-
Compromise Likely When the
A.; Surplus Stock of Coal Is
Disposed Of.

P1TTsBURG, July 12.-At the begin
ming of the second week of the coal
miners strike it gives promise Of being
one Of the greatest wage struggles in
the history of the country. Eight days
ago the coal operators in this district
and the miners themselves little
dreamed that within one short week
such an area Of general suspension
could be wrought as now exists in the
bituminous mining industry. On the
.hillsides there is an army Of $4,000 un.
employed who are anxiously waiting for
more to join the troops of idlers. The
success that has attended the movement
has greatly elated the miners, and dur
ing the next few days every effort VIII
be made to bring out the men in the
few mines that are still working. This
will be difficult task, but they express
confidence in their ability to make the
suspension complete inside Of 4s hours.
Depends on West Virginia.
The miners officials say that the sue
cess of the movement depends on the
action of the West Virginia miners.
They will tell the mountain state dig
gers of the success in this district, and
every effort will be made to have them
join. There are number Of operators
in the Pittsburg district who have ex-
pressed a willingness to pay the price
demanded, but the miners have said
nay. They will insist that a majority
of the operators in the district pay the
50 cent rate or none. This is the ulti-
matum of the national officials, from
which there is no appeal. 1t is known
that some of the miners officials would
be glad to let all the operators paying
the SO cent rate operate their mines, but
cannot, owing to the decision of the
national officials, who desire to have all
the surplus coal taken from the market.
Will Result in Compromise.
"This whole thing will result in a
compromise" said another prominent
operator. 'sThe operators are in po-
sition to stand it for some time, and l
believe the miners are in about the
same condition. It looks as if business
will brighten up, and in that event the
operators will be able to get better
prices, and the condition of business and
the condition of the miner will be sim
ultaneously improved.
From the best information obtainable,
the Pittsburg operators are in no hurry
to have the difficulty adjusted, as so
many of them had stocks on railroad
sidings which they held for an advance.
Much of this was disposed of Saturday
at a good profit. One prominent oper-
ator said that it would take another
week to determine the exact state Of the
market, and by that time general
cleaning up will have taken place.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Tariff Conferees Agree on Sew
eral Hundred Of the Minor
Amendments. ..3
Main Points of Dispute, Lum-
Der, Wool and Hides, to Be
Compromised.
House Members Have Yielded
in a Majority Of the Mat

ters Settled. y :.
WASHINGTON, July 1z.-Ine conrerees
of the tariff bill held four hours ses-
sions during the day, and both the house
and the senate conferees appear satisfied
with the progress that has been made.
Several hundred of the minor amend
ments have been agreed upon, many OF
them mere changes in phraseology, and
on large majority of these the house
conferees naturally have yielded. None
of the real important problems in the
bill, however, have as yet been solved.
All Of them have received more or less
consideration, and there has been free
exchange of opinions.
VIII Compromise Main Points.
There is the best of reasons for be.
ieving that several Of the main points
of contention will be compromised.
This is especially to be believed Of lum.
Der, hides and wool and possibly sugar,
though on the latter the house conferees
are standing particularly firm for their
schedule. On the subject of reciprocity
the drift Of opinion seems to be in the
direction Of the senate substitute, but
the senate provision requiring the rati-
fication of the treaties will be discarded.
Several of the eminent lawyers in both
branches of congress question the con-
stitutionality OF the power conferred
upon the president by the senate reel.
procity provision.
Tax on Bonds and Stocks.
The stamp tax on bonds and stocks
provided for in the senate amendments
has not yet been acceptets The revenue
afforded by it furnishes a strong argu-
ment for it's acceptance, and there is
talk Of widening its scope so as not only
to include tax on actual transfers, but
on all recorded sales. This necessity OF
revenue also furnishes strong argu-
ment for the restoration Of the house
rates on imported tobacco. It is impos-
sible to estimate yet when final agree
ment will be reached, and although va
rious dates are given as to the length
of time the bill will remain in confer
ence, all estimates are necessarily
pure guess work.

Indianapolis, Ind, August 27.-The

sence of three weeks, during which
time he has travelled over a great deal
of the country. At it's meeting at Sar-

eleven men. The commission is made
up of remarkably strong men, repre-
senting various sections of the country
and many lines of business. Seven of
the eleven appointed have accepted
and the others have the matter under

three or four days. The commission

Difficulty in Securing a jury

Chicago, August 27.-The efforts Of
the attorneys in the trial of Adolph
L. Luetgert, the alleged wife-murder-
err, to complete the jury panel today
was barren Of results. In fact there
was no real progress made in the case.
One juror was discharged and another
selected to fill the vacancy. When
court adjourned in the afternoon the
number of jurors sworn to try the case
was the same that it was Thursday,
namely, eight. AS the days pass the
work of securing a jury has become
more difficult. People are reading
about the case and forming opinions
concerning the guilt or innocence Of
the big sausage maker. When court
adjourned for the day but one man
remained in the jury box who is likely
to be a member of the final four who
will fill the panel. He is S. S. Barber,
a clerk who lives at SO Latin street. A
special venire for twenty-four venire-
men was issued, returnable at II o'clock
tomorrow. 1t is believed the jury will
be completed early tomorrow. If it is
there will be an immediate adjourn
ment Of the case until Monday when
the opening addresses of counsel will
be made.

Washington, August 27.-General
Woodford, minister to Spain, has
cabled the state department that he
will leave Paris on the 31st for San
Sebastian, where the queen regent is
spending the summer.
Recent reports from Spain said that
the queen regent would not receive
Minister Woodford until she returned
to Madrid, but the state department
has been aware for some time that
General Woodford would be received at
San Sebastian unless the queen con-
templated returning to Madrid very
soon after his arrival in Spain. 1t has
been unusual to receive foreign min
listers where no III has been estab-
lished, and no court has been main
tanned at San Sebastian. Ministers
Cushing and Lowell were received at
resorts outside of Madrid, but royal
courts had been established at these
places.
While there has been no apparent
hurry by General Woodford to reach
his destination, yet the fact is appar-
ent that he would not go to San Sc
bastian to be received out of the Or
binary custom, unless it was felt that
he ought to begin to carry out his min
istrations as to the policy of the United
States regarding Cuba. AS 500 as
General Woodford is received he will
be in a position to open negotiations
with the Spanish minister Of foreign
affairs who could not recognize him
as minister until he had been> ceived
by the sovereign.
