Decisive Victory Won by the Operators in West Vir-
ginia in Spite of the Best Efforts of the
Prominent Labor Leaders.
TURNS NOW ON WHEELING CONFERENCE
Something Expected Also of
the Meeting at Pitts
burg Today.

>FAIRMONT, w. Va, July 26.-The
strike in this district, which Ratchford
predicted would be general today, has
proved a fiat failure. After days of
vigorous effort by Debs, Mahon, Cos
let, Miller and Ratchford eliminating
Sunday with mass meetings in many
places, the miners at Fairmont remain
unshaken. All agree that today was
the critical day. 1t was agreed that
If there was no strike Monday efforts
would cease and an appeal be made to
the railroad men to stop hauling coal.
A canvas of the situation shows the
New England, CASTOR, Montana and
West Fairmont and Briar Hill Wat
son mines, with 1000 men, are all
working. Mononagh has fifty more
than Saturday, a total of 160. The
Pritchard mine resumed with twenty
of their old men. The Pinnikinnick
mines at Clarksburg are working. The
only break came when thirty, one-half
of the Hutchinson mine force, quit to-
day, followed by Luther and Opekish,
a total of so men, who, with Aurora,
40; Palatin, 40, and Kings, 35, are all
out at this point. Sheriff Cunningham
had deputies at all the mines ready
for trouble.
Before leaving Fairmont E. V. Debs
said: II have done all I could do to
make the Fairmont miners appreciate
the situation. The poor fellows do ap
preciate 1t in a great measure, but are
intimidated by the operators. They
have been locked in the mines, dis
charged for attending meetings and
threatened like slaves. They know it
and feel powerless to prevent it. All
depends on the Wheeling conference
The operators win now, but they are
sowing the wind to reap the whirl-
wind. When the worm turns he be-
comes a maniac, and maniacs destroy
opposition"
ST. LOUIS, Mo, July 26.-One hund-
red of the marching strikers, who are
operating under the leadership of Brad
ley. CoXeyite, tried to seize an Illinois
Central freight train at Belleville, HI,
tonight. They were driven off by a
sheriff's posse. When the 9:15 fast
freight slowed up at Belleville, the
band Of strikers boarded it and de-
clared their intention of riding to Lenz-
burg and Marissa mines, where they
wished to inaugurate a strike. The
crew refused to carry the strikers, and
halted the train at the depot. The rail-
road officials were communicated with
and Sheriff Rhein, Of Belleville, and
a posse Immediately went to the scene
and elected the tramps. There was no
disturbance.

NO FUEL FAMINE.
Sufficient Coal on Hand to Last for
q Long Time.

by the present state of the local coal
market, a famine in fuel is not likely
to occur, even though the strike should
last several months longer. AS mat
ter of fact, the market is overstocked,
and demand has only slightly increased.
At least 100000 bushels Of river coal
are now lying in the upper pools, about
100000 bushels having been consumed
and shipped during the past three
weeks. The railroads are bringing in
large quantities every day from West
Virginia and mines east of Pittsburg.
One shipment of sixty-seven carloads
came in over the Pittsburg, Virginia
and Charleston railroad today. Opera
tors would give no estimate on the total
amount now on hand, but they say the
supply is very great and daily in
creasing.

EXCITEMENT IN BIKE CIRCLES
Next Week Will Witness Big Cut i'm Price
of Wheels

Il begins to look like the prophecy of
the man, who would not buy a bicycle
for 500 because he was sure the price
would some day come down, Just as it
has on sewing machines" when the
competition became strong enough, was
about TO come true. Whether this pro-
phecy is completely fulfilled or not it is
certain that within the next week or ten
days the prices on almost all of the high
grade bicycles will be reduced at least
US
Yesterday one OF the largest bicycle
manufacturers in the country announced
that the prices on strictly high grade
machines would be reduced to SIS and
another firm of high standing will make
the came reduction on July 1. Nothing
that has happened in the bicycle trade
for some time has caused so much con-
sternstion among the dealers as the
present cut OF prices by some Of the re-
rognized high class dealers. Yesterday
as the news commenced TO spread
abroad and dealers who had not before
heard of the contemplated cut became
aware Of it, nasty kilograms were sent
Ia the factories for instructions whether
the cut should be met. Most of the
dealers expect to meet the reduction in
few days.
Several rumors are floating about re-
gardhng the cause of the cut in prices.
One.rumor, and the one which is gener-
ally accepted by dealers, is that the fac
tory making the cut in prices manufac-
kured more wheels than they can dis
pose OF this year and the reduction is
necessary in order to clear UP the stock
and make room for 1898 wheels Others,
and those who claim TO know, state
that the cut was made because the CON-
