Wheeling, w. Va, July 21.-There is
little change in the local coal mining
strike situation today. Some of the
miners who struck at the Glendale works
Yesterday afternoon returned to work
this morning rather unexpectedly. They
are engaged in mining coal for the en-
gines of the Baltimore and Ohio and Ohio
river roads. But for this partial resump-
ton at Glendale, the Ohio river roads
would have been greatly inconvenienced.
There is no change in the situation at
Dillonvale. There will be demonstra-
ton by the miners Of this city and vicin-
|ity tomorrow for the purpose of inducing
the men at the Boggs mines to join the
strikers. Employees Of five companies

quit work entirely to induce the Boggs
Run employees to join in a sympathetic
strike.

ing equally as large as yesterday. Not
over 200 miners are out in the Flat Top
field and they signifed their intention of
returning to work at noon today. The Op-
orators would not consent to this, but it
is believed that they will be taken back
tomorrow morning. But two agitators
remain in these fields, and they will ad-
dress no meeting, as they leave at mid
night for Columbus. The miners have ap-
parenty quit talking strike in these fields
and seem pleased with the surroundings.

the $50 miners who are on strike at Col
linsville, ILL.,, held meeting at that place
this afternoon to determine whether they
should continue the strike or accept the
advance offered them y the operators
and return to work. They decided by Q
vote Of SO to 43 to continue the strike.

tieally unchanged. The miners as whole
are seriously divided, a. was shown by

900 being present. The married men wiah
to resume labor, but the single men favor
the strike. Under the action Of the meet

WATSON AFTER BUTLER
CALLS ON HIM TO RESIGN AS CHAIRMAN
OF THE COMMITTEE.
Says Butler Is Traitor and Calls for Chair
man in Whom the Rank and File of the
Popust Party Have Confidence.

Atlanta, Ga, July 21.-In his Peoples
Party Paper of this week, out tonight,
Thomas Il. Watson calls on Senator
Marion Butler to resign the national
craftsmanship Of the Peoples party. He
says: with Butler at the head OF our
host, the host is not going to march. We
had enough of Butler and of Butlerism.
He has deceived US and is deceiving us
now. He is in collusion with our foes,
just as Allen is. We cannot fight fu-
sion with fusionist in command. There
10 no sense in trying it.
This party Is entitled to chairman
who is in sympathy with its policy as
declared at Nashville. Populism cannot
go to success unless Populist leads
a leader who puts principles above the
Office. and who realizes the deadly mis-
take OF putting our party into sorruus
barga aininss for office with its foes.
"Let Mr.. Butler resign. Let 90 hsws
Washburn on Reed for a chairman. Let
us have an official head In whom the
rsnk and fle put confidence"

eure.

ran would be invited, chairman Bynum
answered that he had not identified HIM

all who spoke for Palmer and Buckner in

speak.

A NAVAL DEMONSTRATION.
To Impress the Moors With the Idea
That They Must Respect the Rights of
American Citizens.

London, July 21.-A correspondent of
the Associated Press at Tangier writes:
The demonstration by the. United
States war ships San francisco and Raj
eigh has had wonderful effect. The
continual ignoring of the rights and
claims of Americans had embittered the
relations between them and the natives
for some time and finally eliminated in
the desperate assault by the Moors on
the servant of Mr.. Burke, who was car
ryfng money to the bank. Mr. Burke
promptly demanded reparation, but the
Moorish Foreign Minister refused to act
and the attitude of the Moorish officials
was SO overbearing that Mr.. Burke felt
compelled to appeal to Washington as
has already been cabled, for help to en-
force his demands.
The San Francisco by her prompt ar
rival so stirred up the Moorish officials
that the Foreign Minister Immediately
visited Admiral Selfridge, an honor
never before conferred upon any one.
The foreigners here are still commenting
upon this unprecedented occurrence.
"The terms of settlement of the trou-
BILE will soon be ARA gned, but the Incl
dent is being taken advantage of to make
display of American force at the towns
along the coast which will insure better
protection and more privileges for the
Americans and their property hereafter.
Everything possible will be done to make
such display as will impress the Moors
with the notion that in the future all
just claims of Americans will be backed
up if necessary by shot and shell.

WOMEN IN THE PROFESSIONS.
The Great Increase In the United King

Tho Great Increase In the United King
dOm-some Statistics.
The advance made by women in tho
professions is strikingly brought out by
this new census paper. In the civil
service the number of women officers
and clerks had risen from less than B..
600 in 1871 to s,546 In the last census
year. In the local government of the
country, too, women are much more
freely employed. There was evidently
a return Of women doctors in 1871; they
were awaiting their degrees, or had de-
grees which the census did not recog-
nize; in 1881 they were returned as IS
in number, but in 1891 they were 1o1 in
England and Wales. Women vetef-
nary surgeons appeared for the first
time in the census Of 1891. There were
then two Of them. Besides over $4,000
sick nurses, there are sS7 women en-
gagged in Subordinate medical service"
Under the somewhat comprehensive
heading of author, editor, journalist"
we find ego women in 1891, as compared
with 452 ten years before and s55 In
1871. Women reporters were rare in
1851. Fifteen was the total number for
England and Wales, but in 1891 there
were 127. In the arts the invasion OF
the ladies is most conspicuous. In
1881 there were 1860 of their sex who
returned themselves as painters, en-
gravers or sculptors; in 1891 the num-
| Der had risen to 3,032. For the FIRST
| time in 1891 there were lady architects
| on the census. They numbered 10.
Lady musicians and music mistresses
numbered over 10000 in 1891. They
were II, 900 ten years before. Instead
of 1858 actresses, as in 1881, there were
in 1891 1906. In the commercial class
