WASHINGTON, Ind, Aug. 5.-An Evans
Vile & Indianapolis freight train is
held by sixty-seven striking coal
miners at Elnoras a small town
north of this city. The strikers are
from Linton, Greene county, and refused to
get off when ordered by the conductor.
They wanted to ride to Little's. Sheriff
Leming was sent for, and this afternoon
made formal demand on the men to leave.
This they refused, and the sheriff could go
no further. An injunction against the men
will be asked, and if it is granted all will
be arrested to-day. A message received to-
night says the miners still hold the fort and
no attempt will be made to move the train
tonight. Everything is quiet and no Vio-
lence is offered. The crowd will be joined
by one hundred men from Alum Cave and
Jackson Hill mines tonight, and when all
the forces concentrate at Littles great
meeting will be held.

saulted little Rosie Robinson, eleven
year-old white girl was this morning cap7
tured by private citizens. The case has at

looked for him three different times. When

citizens. but made his escape, assaulung
a woman and knoc ling DOWN q man who

and the Japanese government
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-No official no.
tice has been received here of the reported
selection of the King of Belgium as arbi-
traitor OF the dispute between Japan and
Hawaii, but generally the selection is high
ly commended. The officials say that King
Leopold's reputation for fairness ard liber-
ality is so well established that there could
be no possible objection to the exercise by
him of the powers of arbitrator, provided
a choice is to be made from among Euro
pean rulers. 1t is not believed that our
own government will be called on To advise
as to the selection, and it is highly inn
probable that it will Interfere in the mat
ter so long as the wishes of Hawaii are
met
No information bearing on the selection
of an arbitrator for the dispute has been
received by the officials of the japanese le-
cation The latter express themselves as
confident that as soon as the arbitrator's
name has been agreed on it will be prompt

nOunced and Bankers Criticised.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BRAZIL, IND, Aug. 5.-The largest labor
meeting ever held in this county assembled
In the courthouse grove to-day and was
called to order by Samuel Anderson. A
resolution was passed by a unanimous vote
condemning the system of granting in
functions by federal judges. The mayor of
Pocahontas, W. Va, was also condemned
for declaring martial law and preventing
the strike organizers from holding public
meetings. The attendance was chiefly made
up of miners, though a number of citizens
and few ladies were present. Attorney
p. 7. Luther was selected as first speaker
Mr.. Luther praised the miners for their
peaceful manner in which they conducted
the strike and said he heartily indorsed
the resolutions which had just been
adopted. He opposed to giving Judges
lte terms and urged the miners to watch
tne Lawmakers and see that certain OBJ
Jecttonable laws we're eliminated from the
statutes. James Smith, who is a we'll
known labor leader and Populist, made a
long speech. He vivdly described the
awful condition of the miners, and lauded
their heroic efforts to secure wages ade-
quate to support their families and educate
their children. He said that under present
conditions the miners were unable to even
furnish their wives and children with suffi-
cient food. Smith was followed by N A.
Haskins, a colored labor leader and miner
of this county. He bitterly arraigned the
labor commissioners for visiting the opera
tors here and securing their side of the
story, then leaving the city without meet
ing the miners. This act of the commits
sioners has been frequently criticised in
mass meetings here, and the speakers
sarcastic remarks about how the commits
siOners visited the rich and ignored the
poor were uproariousy cheered. Senator
Harner closed the speaking. He said he
heartily Endorsed the resolutions passed by
meeting and severely criticised the
bankers of indianapolis for refusing to help
the starving miners. He said when he
read the reports given out by the man
ayers of the commissary showing that the
pitiful amount of one pound of flour and
one-quarter of a pound of meat had been
served to 1,160 persons for them TO live
on for four or five days it panied his heart
Mr.. Harner said he believed that the good
people of this locality, who have freely
contributed in the past, would soon make
provisions to prevent actual starvation in
this county. The parade, which marched
through the city previous to calling the
meeting to order. was very large. Two
bands headed the demonstration. The
American flag was a conspicuous figure in
the parade. Several banners with various
inscriptions on them, such as For a fair
days work all we ask is fair days wage"
I'VE ask honest weight and our pay in
cash." etc, We're carried in the procession.
