THE PRESIDENT SIGNS THE
TARIFF BILL.

President Mckinley intended to go
to the Capitol on Saturday to sign the
tariff bill as soon as it was passed, but
fifteen minutes before the time arrived
he changed his mind and telephoned
that he would remain at the Executive
mansion and would receive the tariff
bill there.
He was joined by Secretaries Gage
and Wilson, Attorney General McKen-
ma, Postmaster General Gary and others.
A trife before 3 o'clock Congressman
Dingley, chairman of the ways and
means committee, and Hager, chair
man of the committee on enrolled bills,
drove up to the White House and were
escorted to the Presidents room. After
the briefest sort of greeting, MIR. Ding
ley formally informed the President
that he and Mr.. Hager had with them
the tariff bill, at the same time hand
ing the great document to the President.
Mr.. Mckinley said with smile that
he would Sign it at once, and turned to
the last page to afix his signature to
the act which will revolutionize all pre-
vailing prices.
AS he did SO, Secretary Porter ten
dered him dozen pens to select from,
and nearly every one else in the room
had fountain pen handy, and asked
the President to sign with it. In his
dilemma the President took the one
rendered him by Congressman Dingley:
and, remarking that he thought Mr..
Dingley had earned the honor of fur
nishing the pen, dipped it in ink, and
moment later wrote "William McKin-
ley" on the paper, and, at 4:04 o'clock,
the tariff bill became law.
The pen used was gold, and had
pearl handle. 1t was lady's pen and
belongs to either Mrs. Dingley or her
daughter.
President Mckinley was very hap
py man Saturday night, and spoke
freely about his great qualification at
having bis tariff policy go quickly and
satisfactory carried out by Congress.
The President said that ne wished it
understood that it was not perfume
tary approval which he had given to
the bill, but that he had never signed
anything in his life with more sstisfac-
ton. He said that it was as satisfac-
tory as any general revision Of the tariff
could be, and in all its main features
met his cordial approval.

The Strike Situation.


PITTsBURa, July 26.-Lively times
are promised in the coal mining situa-
ton this week. The arbitration COM
missioners feel hopeful that they will
bring about the initiative for settle
ment at the meeting Tuesday morning.
The miners officials, on the other hand,
claim to have adopted measures that
will make complete tie-up. 1t is claim.
ed that the faltering ones in West Vir-
GINA will be brought into line, thus
making the strike effective in that it
will shut off the supply of coal. To &C
complish this, arrangements have been
made for Eugene V. Debs and other
prominent officials to come to this city
and hold meeting. Reports from the
coke regions indicate that the cookers
will not likely come out. The board
of arbitrator report matters quiet,
waiting on the result of the meeting to-
morrow.
FAIRMoNT, w. Va, July 26.-The
great break among the miners failed to
take place and the organizers are dis
heartened. Debs and Mahon have
gone to Wheeling not expecting to re
turn. All depends on the action of the
executive boards of the labor organiza'
tions at Wheeling tomorrow. This
morning the men at Hutchinson and
Luther both joined the strikers, but as
the four Watson mines stand solid the
movement has been a failure. AS far
as the Fairmont district is concerned

The NEW tariff bill is now in opera
ton and the trusts are in clover. Every
man with sense enough to regard his
own interests hopes that the dawn Of
prosperity may now break and be re-
allied by every body. But it is no less
true that few are sauguin of the fruitioD
of that hope. That promise was made
to their ears as the sure result of Nc
Kinley's election and then, of his in
auguration, but only to be broken to
their hearts, and now they fear that
the promise of revived industry and
prosperity, as the necessary effect of the
passage of the Dingley bill, will be
equally as false, though they pray their
fears may not be reslized.
