Crisis il the Strike Of the Btu,
minons Miners Evidently
at Hand.
Pittsburg Operators Will Start
Up Unless West Virginians
Come Out.
Do Not Relish Having All Their
Contracts Filled by
Rivals.

P1rTsBuRa, July 2o.-Unless the
miners leaders are able to get the West
Virginia diggers ont early this week,
the local strike situation promises to
grow very interesting about the last of
this week, and to come to crisis next
Monday morning. As indicated in the
press dispatches, several of the
local operators have announced that
they are tired seeing their contracts get
away from them, and that the mines
now supplying their trade must be
stopped or their own mines will be put
into operation. The district executive
board Of miners organization has been
notified as above by corps of the more
important operators. As was said early
in the strike, all depends upon Pitts
burg, and unless Pittsburg is able to
shut down the West Virginia mines, it
is probable that the strike will be broken
before there is chance to complete the
arbitration uniformity arrangement.
Would Cause Rush For Work.
The miners officials admit that should
any of the big mines of the district now
idle be put into operation, majority of
the other diggers Of the district would
return to work at once It is said that
should the Boreland, any of the Rob-
bins, or any of the Wheeling division
mines be started up, the rest would soon
fall into line. This admission was
made by a member of the local exeeu-
tive board. The Pittsburg operators
have lost thousands and thousands of
dollars since the trouble began. They
have lost part of their very best ship
ping season, and it has been necessary
to turn their contracts over to operators
in West Virginia, and in the Central
Pennsylvania fields to be worked till
the strike is over. The prospects of
long strike, and the possibility of it last
ing until their contracts have all been
filed, is what has stirred the operators.
to action. The operators propose to get
together and start one or two of the i'm
pOrtant mines in case the West Virginia
expedition of labor agitators is unsuc-
cessful. They are to unite in an effort
to get sufficient men to successfully
man one or two of the big mines, get
large force OF deputy sherlfts and begin
turning out coal for the lakes.
30. Would Pay Good Wages.
Part Of the plan is to pay the miners
70 cents, or even rs cents, if it be neces-
sary to get them to work. @.a..
The Pittsburg operators will wait
day or two. If the West Virginia men
are still at work Wednesday agents of
the local companies will go, ION Skin
mish for men. At the same time appi-
cation will be made to the sheriff for
large force of deputies.
The miners officials are banking
everything on the ability of the labor
organizers to get the West Virginia
miners out. They say that in case the
operators do try to transfer the fight to
this district all the forces now at work
in West Virginia will be brought to this
state and put to- work. -EF-

Chinese Emperor's Proxy Refuses to BE
Fumigated.

despatch to the Sun says:
When the Canadian Pacific steamer
Empress of China arrived here on Tues
day and went into quarantine ct Will
llama Head because Of two cases of small
/ pox aboard the incident attracted but
little attention.
DR.. Watt quarantine officer, at once
ordered all passengers quarantined for
| twenty-four days, because small po1
cases had developed when the Northern
Pacific liner Viot3ria was permitted to
months ago. There are 140 cabin passen-
gers and 800 Chinese aboard.
When steersge passengers were taken
ashore. stripped, and disiufected with an
odorous bath, and their clothes taken
from them and baked, it was all right,
but when quarantine officials approached
cabin passengers yesterday and politely
said. Your turn next there was wrath
and indignation from knickerbockered
Londoners, who protested against the
impudence of the colonials 10 daring To

in threats of resistance, with the result
that 20 men armed with Winchestets are
now guarding the station.
There is aboard his Excellenoy Chang,
special envoy from China, who will rep
resent the Emperor at the diamond iubi-
lee in London. He is accompanied by a
large suite Of gorge0ugly attired Chinese,
who do not understand Western ways and
look with horror on ii o attempt to put
the Emperor of China by proxy under
assfumigatioU.
His Excellency has refused point blank
to undergo funIigation, and not only has
the Dominion government been appealed
to but Lord Salisbury and the Chinese
representative in London have received
his protests. Chang says he will go back
to China without proceeding to London,
though in that case he is likely to lose
his head for disobeying orders from the
Emperor. He says. furthermore, that if
a hand is laid on him it means trouble
between Great Britain and China, as the
person of on Ambassador is sacred.
The officials have suspended operations,
and await orders from the Federal au-
thorities at Ottawa. Owing to the large
number of passengers on the steamer, the
accommodations at the quarantine station
are inadequate, and many women and
children passengers protest that the COM
ing ashore and living in rough sheds for
several days will be dangerous TO their
