teachers complaining that on account Of

locked in the rooms and compelled to re-
main there until tho festivities were over,
or were driven out OF tho village entirely

From estimates prepared on the basis
of coal mined in the year 1895, making
allowance FOR the present conditions, it
is believed that the expense Of maintaining
the strike in the State of Ohio alone will
aggregate nearly 100000 day. Or this
amount the miner loses nearly $1,000
the coal operators $4,000 and the rail
road companies S27 600. To this must
also be added the decreased earnings of
the railroad employees, dock and lake YES
sci employees and the profits of retail and
wholesale dealers. The total output in
Ohio for the year 1895 was 100000
tons in found numbers, an average of 56G
tons q miner, which is equal to 1.G tons a
day. 1t is estimated that 100000 tons
Of the total output is nut coal, for which
the miner receives no pay and is clear
profit for the operator.
National President Ratchford said
Tuesday that lie had received reports
showing that the greater part of Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio was
idle, and within Il day or two a complete
suspension is expected. The Ohio miners
are practically a unit for higher wages,
as $4,000 of the 10000 miners in the
State are already holding out for the
scale.
President Patrick Dolan, of the Pitts
burg district, estimated the total number
Of men out to be nearly $4,000. Presi-
dent Dolan further said the reports from
all over the district indicate the strike will
be more general than at first supposed
Along the Monongahela River work has
practically been suspended and deter
mined battle is in progress. All the mines
with the exception Of q comparatiyolv
small number, are idle, and it is thourbt
nearly every miner will come out. The
circumstances indicate Il strike of somo
length, and in consequence the distress
will be great.
At Glouster Ohio, the miners indulged
In threats of holding UP coal trains But
their local officials kept them quiet bv
telling them this was coal mined before
the strike was declared. However, sever
nl of the Glouster men said if non-union
coal mined after July / in West Virginia
and the Pittsburg district were hauled
across Ohio to the lakes they would try
to prevent it. AS the West Virginia dis

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT
July Returns to the Department of
Agriculture.

WASHINGTON: The July returns to the
statistician of the department of agricul-
ture indicate the following average con-
ditions: Corn, S2,9; winter wheat, S1.2;
spring wheat, 9l.2; combined Spring and
winter wheat, $40; oats, S7.5; winter rye,
!5.0; spring rye, 900; barley, $50; to-
bacco, 7s.5: Irish potatoes, S7.s.
The report on the acreage of corn, which
is preliminary, shows decrease of IS per
cent. as compared with that of last year.
This represents decrease Of about 1,O0e, :
600 acres. Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, Texas and one or two less i'm
pouant corn producing states show an in
creased acreage, but this Is more than
offset by the shrinkagc in Iowa, Indiana,
Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and other
states. The average condition OF corn is
9.5 points lower than in July Of last year.
The average condition Of spring and
winter wheat combined is Is points
higher than that of the corresponding
period last year.

there is no doubt, but to insure action
along those lines the movement must be
large in its proportions, and every miner
must cease work."
a. Brcnholz, who manages the home
Office for the General Hooking Coal Com
pany, at Columbus, says there is at least
100000 tons of. coal in storage in the
Northwest. He estimates that this will
supply all demands for at least four
months, no matter how general the min
ers' strike becomes. There is considerable
coal on the Ohio docks ready for shin
ment by lake, but this coal will not be
sent West. 1t will be held for the purpose
of supplying transient trade. With re-
spcct to supply for the railroads, it is
estimated that the different companies
have enough coal on hand to last them
about six weeks.
