Coal Men Are Apprehensive.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 5.-Cleveland coal
men are viewing the coal strike situa-
ton with much apprehension. They are
deeply interested in the mass meeting
to be held in the Clearfeld district in
Pennsylvania, which the strike has not
reached. Advices in Cleveland are to
the effect that De Armitt's mines are
paralyZed, and the feeling here is that
there may be an absolute tieuD. Re
sumption of work by several of Cleve-
lands large manufactures will rapidly
decrease the supply of coal in this city,
and much harm is felt The Cleveland
rolling mill and the Union rolling mill,
which have resumed, are using 600 tons
of coal per day.

piled for an injunction, which if

ceDtion. and the sentiments represented
were loudly cheered. especially when al
luSiOns were made to the unrighteous-
ness of the suppression of free speech
and lawful ,assemblage. Each orator
said the time had arrived to call a halt
on government by injunction. and de-
clared that the struggle of the miners
would be conducted peaceably and
lawfully as heretofore, in spite of any
thing any man could say. II was
learned positively tonight that Gov
ernor Hastings has had men in the
Turtle creek region for two weeks past
to keep him posted on the condition OF
the strike. Factory Inspector Camp
bell has been the chief lieutenant of the
executive in this work. Colonies Logan
and McCandless, of the general staff.
have also been over the field. and Will
make their report TO the governor. It
is safe TO say that they viii report that
the national guard is not needed at this
ti-ne.
Large delegations of miners are ex-
pected at Turtle Creek during the night
and tomorrow. for the meeting tomor-
row which is to be addressed by Debs.
Strike leaders say the attendance will
be as large as the McCrea meeting next
Monday. A delegation of Yough miners
arrived this afternoon. They had
walked so miles. They say there will be
a free steamer on the Monongahela to-
night, 20 carry miners to McKeesport
from up river points. They will march
from there to Turtle Creek.
The surprise predicted this afternoon
has not yet been sprung on the miners.
1t is not known whether the intention
is to import colored miners from Vir-
GINA, or an attempt on the part of the
COMPANY to prevent the miners from
meeting or marching. superintendent
De Armitt intimated today that the
company would try TO have stop put
to this practice, and that they would
bring the matter to the attention of
the authorities.

Wheeling, W. Va, Aug. 5.-At Fair
mont the tieup promised by Organizer
Rae has not materialized and aside
from a few men at Clarksburg there

working. On the Norfolk & Western the
strike has entirely disappeared.
Miners day is being celebrated by la
boring people generally in Wheeling

getting hungry. and have soliciting
committees out with wagons. The peo-

Cincinnati, O., Aug. 5.-A dispatch
from Urbana, o., says the feeling there
is so strong against Governor Bushnell
for attempting to GUST Mayor Gamer
