FOR TRUE UNIFORMITY.

Operators at Pittsburg Adopt The Pro-
posed Agreement.
PITTsBURG, July 3O.-The ''true uni
formity' conference of the coal op-
orators of the Pittsburg district con-
cluded it's work at y:15 o'clock after a
two days session of close and persistent
work. The 81 sections of the uniform
ity agreement were thoroughly dis
cussed and adopted section by section.
The best of feeling prevailed through
out the meetings, the only exception be-
ing the bolting of Colonel Rend. Just
previous to adjournment, however,
Judge Owens announced that Colonel
Rend had authorized him to state that
any agreement the conference adopted
would receive his hearty cooperation
and he would sign if 50 per cent of the
operators were sincere in sanctioning it.
The conference appointed commit.
tee Of five to secure the signatures of the
operators to tho agreement. When the
requisite number of signatures have
been secured another meeting will be
held to ratify the agreement.

INQUIRING ABOUT US.
Japanese SAete Department Questions

Japanese State Department Questions
Some OF ITS California Subjects.
Los ANGELES, CAL, July 3o.-The
Times says: While the majority of
people laugh at toe idea of Japan going
to war with the United States over the
annexation of the Hawaiian islands,
there is no denying the fact that the
mikado and his ministers are making
inquiries and seeking information con-
cerning the country which they have
never heretofore apparently considered
of value.
On the last steamer direct from Japan
there came a message to we'll known
Japanese in this city in the shape of a
circular of interrogation. The docu-
ment came from the state department
of the imperial government.
Several japanese Of more or less
prominence were seen regarding the
document. None would admit that it
had any particular significance at this
time

HELD A MONSTER MEETING.

Thousands Of strikers Gather at the Cleve.
land Gas Coal Company's Mines.
P1TTsBURG, July 30.-Oak Hill, in the
vicinity Of the Turtle creek, Plum creek
and Sandy creek, of De Armitt, was in.
vaded after midnight by an army OF
strikers who came to attend the great
mass meeting to be held near the mines.
It is estimated that by daybreak there
were several thousand miners encamped
upon the hills surrounding the property
of the New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal company's property.
When the meeting was called to order
at 10 O'Clock a. M, there were 5000
striking miners in attendance, and be.
fore it was well under way there were
5000 people in the vicinity Of the school
house. About 9:3O o'clock, 25O miners
from Sandy Creek mines marched to
the meeting, and quite a large number
from Turtle Creek. The strikers used
all their powers Of persuasion upon the
diggers but none were molested, and no
threats were made. Previous to the
meeting, Eugene V. Debs, District
President Dolan, Secretary Warner and
NJ. p. Carrick went among the strikers
aud counseled them to keep within the
bounds of the law and preserve good
order throughout the day. Their ad-
vice was received with good grace by
the men. The meeting is the largest
ever held during strike in Western
PENNSYLVANIA, and the leaders are hope
ful of its effects upon De Armitt's men
The speakers told the miners that they
were jeopardizing the success Of tho
strike by continuing at work, and urget
them to come out and make the suspen
sion complete throughout the district
Two hundred deputies are now OF
guard about the mines, but no trouble
| is apprehended.

Arrest.
GREAT FALLS, Mon, July 3O.-Ex.
County Treasurer G. L. Bristol of Teton
county. whose term expired March l
last, has been arrested on information
charging embezzlement. The defalca-
ton is due to Treasurer Bristol issuing
redemption certificates for land sold for
taxes and then tearing the stub out OF
the receipt book. The amount Of the
shortage is not known, nor will it be
only as the certificates issued are pre-.
sented, but enough have come in to
show it will reach into the thousands.
State Examiner Maroney is now at
work Oh the books and it is believed
other shortages will appear.

Portuguese Government Attempts to In

MADRID, July 3O.-A special dis
patch from Oporto, Portugal, says that
the political situation, already grave,
has been aggravated by the strong
measures taken by the government to
intimidate the Republicans and to force
them to give effect to its financial pro-
posals. The ministerial organs warn
the Republicans that they will be rigor'
ously dealt with.

Has No Effect on the Strike.
The operators, with few exceptions,
want it distinctly understood that the
passage Of an agreement whereby all
operators are to adopt similar system
and are to pay the same relative price
for mining, has nothing to do with the
great strike. The operators have also
shut out the miners leaders from TAX
ing any part in the conference that may
take place through questions arising be-
tween the operators and miners by in.
serting a clause in the agreement stat.
ing the commission shall be composed Of
workmen employed by the subscribers.
Many firms have taken contracts for
stipulated period at a fixed price. 1t
is understood that these shall have the
right to supply the product to fill these
contracts at the rate Of mining Of which
the contracts are based. Here is where
| the miners and operators will separate.
Conference With Governor Atkinson.
WHEELING, w. Va, July 3O.-The
strikers are marching with bands and
banners to Boggs Run where few men
are still at work. The miners view
with favor the coming conference be-
tween Governor Atkinson and Com
pers, Sovereign and Ratchford at
Charleston. The governor has already
discoutenanced the injunction issued by
Judge Mason at Fairmont. A great ef-
fort is to be made to stop production in
Ohio and Marshall counties.
The herald., 1897-12-05

ried-little Dorothy Drew being the
daughter of one-and the third. Miss
Helen Gladstone. has long been an in
structor in an English college.
While humoring Mr.. Gladstone's per-
sonal likes and dislikes, Mrs. Gladstone
also catered to his appetite. She fur
nished him with great quantities Of
plain food at plain hours, and she
bought claret and rice when the rice and
wine hobby seized him. She cooked
English beef and omittd English plum
pudding, and in every way furnishd
diet conducive to long life. She ate 1t
herself and flourished on 1t, and there
was no healthier woman in Great Brit
ain. Mrs. Gladstone has never been
sick, and she herself says that her hus-
band has never been awake one night
with her. The petty aches and pains Of
other women were scorned by Mrs Glad
stone, and one of the greatest criticisms
ever made against her was her unfeel-
ingness toward sickly daughter. but
the daughter got strong under the treat
ment.
Once in getting out of his carriage Mr..
Gladstone accidentally slammed the door
upon his wife's finger. and she walked by
his side into the house Of commons un-
complainingly, fearing that If he were
to know of her distress he might fail in
the speech that he was to make.
HIS CHARACTER
The character of this grand old man
has been criticised as much as 1t has
been praised. He has been called DOM
ineering, headstrong, mistaken and
|overrated. When he changed his poll
tics he was called a fool. and when he
declined to favor general emancipation
he was called an oppressor. He Is a
strange mixture Of tenderness and
hardness. of opposition and agree.
ment, Of Liberal and Radical. He
is grabbed in temper, feverish under ar
gument and violent in debate. You cam
not cross him in anything and he is only
at his best when he Is speaking on the
public platform where you cannot reach
him.
At the same time he Is bright. com.
manding, versatile and remarkable. He
knows all the wisdom of all the books,
and he can debate upon the finest point
Of classic literature as easily as upon
contemporary Irish opinions. He Is the
only statesman that ever lived who will
change rapidly from one opinion to an
other and not be ashamed to say so. He
Is the only Englishman who has ever
dictated to the queen, and the only man
whom the queen obeys. He is the only
Gladstone, and the only man whom Eng.
land cannot replace.
