PITTsBuReH, Pa, July 26.-Sixty dep
uty sherffs have been ordered out and
are at the Union station awaiting or
ders to move. Their destination is
kept q profound secret, but 1t is sup
posed they are to be sent to the mines
of the New York 4 Cleveland Gas Coal
Co., in anticipation of any raid that
may be made. But as the strikers Off
cially declare that the contemplated
march has been abandoned no conflict
is expected. Another march on Can
nonsburg was begun last night A
big meeting of the miners was held at
Reissing at three o'clock in the after
noon. They were informed that
the Allison mine intended to re-
sumo work this morning, and in
very short time it was decided to
make another tramp across the
country and reinforce the 100 strikers
that have been on guard. They will
remain until Tuesday morning. There
was a great hurrying to and fro in all
the mining settlements in that section
before the sun went down. Every man
decided to take two days rations
along. Women, as has been the case
during the present strike, were among
the most active agitators. They ad-
vised their husbands and sweethearts
to take another tiresome tramp across
the country, in order that their eondi-
tions might be hettered.

Corps Talks OF Alaska.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, July a. Lieut.
Wilkerson, member of the United
States engineering corps, which has
been in Alaska for the past three years
locating the boundary line between
that territory and the British posses
sions in the northwest, passed through
Kansas City last night on his way to
Washington. Mr.. Wilkerson is far
from being enthusiastic over the
new gold fields of the northwest
He paints in somber colors the nat
ural difficulties, especially the climate,
to be met by the people from this
country who go there. He says the
reports of the ease with which for
tunes can be dug from the frozen earth
of the Arctic regions are greatly exag-
gerated, and that thousands of people
who are fastening to the gold fields
will live, if they live at all, to regret
their folly. He said the stories
OF fabulous wealth which are being
circulated in this country are gross
exaggerations, and outrages upon the
people of the United States. He said
further:
1t is nonsense to talk about making fortune
in Alaska in few days. 1t is true that some
persons have struck it rich and have accumu-
lated some money. But they are the excep-
lions and not the rule. Why there are only
about two months in the year that mining
can be carried on there, The remainder
Of the year it is struggle with the
intense cold. The glowing accounts Of fabu-

WASHINGTON, July 49, Shortly be-
fore the senate adjourned yesterday
Senator Allison, in charge of the tariff
bill, made a strong effort to have q
time fixed for the final vote on the
tariff conference report. Failing in
this, Mr.. Allison gave notice that the
session to-day would be protracted
with view of securing vote. 1t
was the first definite movement made
thus far toward bringing the de-
bate to II close. Mr. Allison's
first proposition was for vote
at five o'clock to-day, but this was
objected to by Mr., Pettus, of Alabama
Then he proposed a vote some time be-
fore adjournment to-day, which was
objected to by Mr., Morgan. The sug-
gestion of Saturday ut one o'clock met
with like objection from Mr.. NJ organ,
The Alabama senator explained his
last objection by stating that he
thought all debate on the report would
be exhausted to-day, that 1t was need
less to make an agreement in advance,
Finding that there was no disposition
to reach an agreement, Mr., Allison
finally gave notice that hereafter,
while the report was pending, the sem
ate would not adjourn at five o'clock
without nay and yea vote The de-
bate on the report yesterday was par
ticipated in by Senators Chiffon, Jones
of Arkansas and pettigrew, in opposi-
ton, while Mr.. Aldrich took frequent
occasion to defend the report against
the criticism OF these senators,
The credentials Of the new senator
from Tennessee, Thomas b. Turley,
who succeeds the late Senator Harris,
were presented to the senate by his as
sociate, Mr.. Bate. Mr. Turley was
then escorted to the vice presidents
desk, where the oath of office was duly
administered.
Mr.. Tillman offered a resolution ia
discharge the committee on contin.
gent expenses from further considera.
ton of the resolution for an investiga-
ton of alleged senatorial sugar specu-
lation. Before anything could be said,
Mr.. Jones, of Nevada, presented a re-
port from the committee on the sa me
resolution. Mr. Tillman was quickly
on his feet, asking that the report be
read. He did not want it side-tracked
by any parliamentary device, and he
wished to secure a direct vote
on the resolution. Mr.. Calm
ger, of New Hampshire, mem
Der of the committee, suggested tina,

started on the march, with the Ameri-

men carried dinner pail and they

received by local labor leaders are to
the effect that nearly all of the execu

cations will come to Wheeling for

come of the conference there is much
uncertainty, though it is claimed the

DEBs SPEAKS AT FAIRMONT.
FAIRMoNT, W. Va, July 26.-Eugene
V. Debs held three good meetings at
the various mines yesterday and is
confident that the men will 60 out, al
though he will not say he expects the
move to-day. The general impression
is that if the break is not made to-day
it will not be made at all. 1t is hard
to tell what the men will do when the
morning comes. Yesterday the oper-
ators succeeded in keeping MANY Of
them from the meetings, and it looks
as easy to keep them in the mines.
