Cleveland, o., Aug. 1.-THE operators
Of the Pennsylvania coal mines held a con-
ference In this city to-day and determined
that mines in the Pittsburg district should
be started and operated without further
delay on the grounds that the miners

nothing but an unreasonable price for

the operators at this time 1t was deter
mined that all coal sod at the 5l-cent basis

SLOW TO COMPROMISE.
Coal Companies DO Not Take to the
Proposed Plan with Avidity.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 7-In the opinion
of number of coal operators, the uni
formity agreement, admittedly a good
thing, will not receive the support its
articles are said to warrant.
A canvas of the operators shows that
they are not rushing to the committee
with signed agreements in their hands, in
fact, they are all holding back and each
one seems waiting to see what the other
fellow intends to do. The uniformity
committee refuses to dlvulge the names
of the operators who have affixed their
signatures to that instrument Inquiry
tends to show that only three firms have
made decisive step in the matter and
placed their signatures to the agreement.
number of coal men said to-day: "They
mad 1t under adVisement, although they
thought it improbable that they would
sign"
Others stated that they were waiting
for the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Company to head the list, and seemed un-
willing to have their names enrolled un-
til President DeArmit announced that his
company had actually signed.
The only Pittsburg companies that have
signed are those represented by ]. J. Spit
Ter, who has signed only for his Panhandle
mine. Henry Floersheim was the first
man to put his name to the foot of the
articles, and David B. Breckenridge of the
Eclipse Coal Company, whose mines are
at Coal Center.

PENNsYLvANIA's DEMOCRATS.
They Cry Out Against "a MOnopoIy
President nnd Congress.

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE executive
committee of the democratic societies of
Pennsylvania this afternoon issued a call
for the annual convention of the societies
at Wilkesharre on Sept. 26. In the accom-
panying address the committee says in
part;
The means by which the candidates of
the democratic party. headed by w. J.
Bryan were defeated last year, are well
known No need to now recount them.
Every intelligent citizen understands them
and every good citizen condemns them.
The contest was between the people-the
laborlng and producing classes on the side
and the money and coercive power of a
large number of powerful corporations and
monopolles on the other associated togeth-
er for political action in furtherance Of
private as against public interests. The
combined temptations and terrorism OF the
latter prevailed for the time. But reaction
has been sharp and decided There Is no
longer any concealment of the purposes
for which an election of a monopoly presi-
dent and congress was carried by means
so corrupt and brutal. The interests con-
cerned could not wait a needless hour for
the spoils. Congress was Immediately
convened in extraordinary session to dis
tribute the enormous plunder promised
among the trusts and other greedy asso-
ciates In the national crime of 1886, by the
passage OF an act Imposing fresh taxes on
the people, not to supply the treasury, but
turn a new and swelling stream of private
profits into private pockets. The people
understand and resent it. They know also
that the gold currency monopoly IS to be
perpetually maintained for the same pur-
pose and that so long as this monopoly
party remains in power the people are to
be forced to pay increased taxes, the
greater profits of the trusts
Everywhere throughout the country the
people are incensed and eager to reverse
the mistaken action of last year.

An Old Man in His DOtage with IA
Fortune in His Clothes.
New York, Aug. IA man, who said
he was Thomas Hussey Sc years of age,
of Montgomery, Ala, entered the Ameri-
can Exchange National Bank this after
noon to deposit some bonds. He was very
feeble, ana with trembling hands searched
through his leather wallet and his pockets
for some coupons. He could not find them
and the baek could not do business with
the old man.
He was sitting on the step of the bank
entrance when a policeman of the Broad
way square saw him, The officer noticed
that the old man was tired out, so he
questioned him, and finally took him to
the Old Slip station house, where the
sergeant ordered them TO search him. The
wallet enclosed $773 in money, a return
ticket to Montgomery, Ala, a check on
Drexel & Co., Philadelphia for S11 900, and
an envelope containing forty-eight cou-
pons clipped from some bonds, which
were found in the old mans tall boots.
There were eleven $1,000 bonds Of the city
of Savannah, four 500 bonds of the same.
and a certificate for 100 shares of New
York Central railroad stock.
The officer took Mr.. Hussey to the Cen
trail station police court, where the old
man told Magistrate Cornell that he ar
rived in New York last night and had
stopped in a boarding house in Watt
street. He could not remember the name.
He said he had relative in Brooklyn
named Mitchell. There was no charge to
be made against Mr.. Hussey so the mag
lstrate ordered the policeman to take him
to police headquarters, where steps could
be taken to find his relatives.

OLD CoUNTERFEIT NOTES.
Some strange Visitors at the Treas~

ury That Recall Old Times.
Washington, Aug. 17.-There we're pre-
sented to the treasury department to-day
for redemption Two 81. 600 1880 notes of tho
issue Of June 10, 1865.
The persons making the presentation was
a business firm Of Louisville. On exami-
nation the notes were found to be counters
felts, being a part of a very large issue
of counterfeit notes which appeared in the
principal bond markets in 1865 and 1867 The
imitation Of the genuine issue was so COM
plcte that many OF the principal dealers
in United states securities purchased them
freely ana only discovered that they had
been victimized when the notes wera
thrown out by the authorities at Washing
ton.
The loss to bankers and dealers through
this counterfeit amounted probably TO sew
eral hundred thousand dollars. The only
marked difference between the original ana
counterfeit is found In the red seal, tho
points surrounding the seal IN the genuine
being broader, more clearly defined, and
not so long. There Is also a slight differ
ence In the signature Of Gen. Spinner, who
was the treasurer Of the United States at
the time of tho issue Of the original notes.
In the genuine note there is also a
small spot just below the bar between the
baskets Of the balance which the figure of
America holds suspended.
Al the secret service Office It is said that
the plate from which these notes were
printed was captured Nov. q, 1867, from
William e. Brockway. who is now serv-
Ing term Of ten years in the Trenton, ".
