wEsTvIRG1NIA MINERs Ar WORK
The Labor Leaders Failed to Draw
the Miners Ont.


Wheeling, W. Va, July 27-Fugene
" Debs made his appearance in Wheel
ing yesterday afternoon and was met
by large crowd at the railroad sta
ton, Last night he addressed a mass
meeting in the central part of the city
The efforts to secure the public build
ing square for the meeting failed, and
the meeting took place a square away
In speaking of the situation in the
Fairmont coal fields, Debs said he felt
encouraged He says the efforts of the
organizers would have been more sue
cessful but for the fact that the oper-
ators, as he claims, prevented their
men from attending the meetings
Practical slavery, he says, exists in
the Fairmont mining region
although the press may report the
miners living under favorable condi-
tions in the Fairmont region said
Debs, Il have collected data from
farmers, miners and storekeepers which
shows that the mining companies cheat
their employees in the mines at the
scales, and in the company store. The
intimidation practiced by the operators
has prevented many from joining the
strike, but we are hopeful of ultimate
success in West Virginia"
A mass meeting was announced for
last night at New England but none
was held, because only 25 miners had
gathered. The injunction issued by
Special Judge Mason seems TO have put
an end to the strike here With all
the leaders at Wheeling, the men saw
there is nothing left for them to do
but to go to work Fully 100 men took
this step at Monongah, which, with so
men imported from the ConnellsviIe
region, makes $50 men at work there
| The injunction issued yesterday has
not yet been served, and the operators
think this step viii be unnecessary. 1t
is said many miners want to go back
to work.
The indications are that the coal
miners strike in the southern part of
the state is practically over There are
now only about 400 men out in the
Kanawaha field, about $50 out i'm the
New River field and possibly 500 I'm the
Norfolk ana Western field The strike
organizers have abandoned these three
coal fields and are leaving for other
parts.
Debs and Mahon claim that the pub
lished reports of the strike being a
failure at Fairmont are Incorrect
Debs says he is in possession of relia-
BILE advices to the effect that the strik-
ers yesterday received heavy acces-
| sions. II the efforts of the agitators in
West Virginia has really been a fail
ure, 1t is believed that the railroad
conductors, hremen and braRemen viii
be asked to refuse to handle West Vir-
| ginia coal
The strike in the Fairmont district.
which Ratchford predicted would DE
! general yesterday, has proved a nat
failure. After days of vigorous effort
by Dehs, Mohon, Coslett, Miller and
Ratchford the miners at Fairmont re-
main mistaken.

PEPPERS AND BoNgR.
California Boxer Proves Very shifty
Middle-W Weight


Middle-Weight.
Henry Peppers the colored California
middle-weight, proved last night to be the
best boxer that John Boner has ever met
barring Kid Mccoy, and when their six
round bout at the Arena, in Philadelphia
was over, the Summit Hill boy knew that he
had been doing some lively boxing Peppers
kept running away from Boner nearly all
the time and his actions ratified Jack greatly.
In the first round Boner caught punch on
the chin as he was off his balance and he
went to the floor, but was up in moment.
Boner had all the best of the second
round. After that Peppers started his run
ming tactics, and try as he could Boner did
not succeed IN landing an effective blow,
though at times it looked as if he had Peppers
where he wanted him, but the shifty oolored
man got away every time. Peppers got in
several good blows in the fifth round which
was rather warm one. He had good left
hook which he got in on Boner's face, but
not on the right spot. In the sixth round
Boner had case of Gallagher feet and he
went to the floor, many thinking he was
knocked down, but he fell through his own
clumsiness. In the round Peppers would
sometimes mix it up and then he would run
away, and at the end of the round Bouer
was tired chasing him up.

THE NEW TARIFF LAW.
Treasury Department Decides 10 Op-
crRtive Midnight, July %.

crative Midnight. July %.
Washington, July 27-The secretary
OF the treasury holds that the new
tariff act was in effect at the beginning
of the day on which it received the app
proval of the president, and therefore
became operative after midnight on
Friday, July %. Assistant Secretary
Howell today sent the following tele-
gram to collechors of customs: DE
partment holds that new tariff law
covers and includes all customs busi-
ness Of July "a"
The treasury department expects its
decision in regard to when the Dingley
bill went into effect to be tested in
court but the secretary and his assist
ants are confident that their ruling
that the bill covered all day Of Satur-
day, July "a, will be upheld.
The treasury officials already have
discovered a number of Inconsistencies
In the new tariff act, some of them, it
is feared, being incapable of recon
ciliation. It is pointed out that sec
ton 262 places the duty on plums at
20 cents per bushel, and section 264
fixes the rate at cents per pound An
other section fixes the rate of duty on
hides of cattle at IS cents a pound, and
admits raw skins free. A question is
involved in the classification of calf
skins, it being contended that, COM
mercially, calf skins are not classed
as hides of cattle, and hence are en-
titled to free entry, which is believed
to be contrary to the purpose of con-
gress.

port general dissatisfaction on the part
OF the Pops who are disguised al the ac-
ton Of the last legislature in falling 10
fulfill their promises. Many OF them
have come out open and above board
and declare that they will not vote the
double jointed ticket which is owned and
controlled by a few Democratic politi-
clans who inhabit the postoffice and the
police headquarters. Men who have talk
ed TO Populis5s in this city are very ju-
bilant and say that the apathy among
the Pops and Democrats in the city por-
tends no good for the fusion ticket. Men
who have watched politics In this coun-

Wichita will soon be able to talk to
New York city. A new long distance
telephone has just been completed from
Chicago to Kansas City, which puts the
latter in direct communication with the
city on the lake and Gotham. An extern
sion from Topeka 10 Hutchinson is be-
ing made. ami when IL is completed
Wichita business men will be in COM
mUnication with all the srea. cities in
the north and east, including Kansas
City, Omaha, Chicago, New York and
Brooklyn.
Many Improvements and extensions
have been made 10 the toll lines OF the
Missouri and Kansas Telephone COM
pany into new territory during the pres
ent summer, and the work will continue
until stopped by bad weather. A new
line from Kansas City to Carrollton,
Mo-, touching the intermediate towns
has just bean completed, and another
new line brings Chillicothe, Mo-, and
the local towns along the Chicago, Min
neapolis and st. Paul railway within
reach Of these eastern cities also. From
Kansas City south via Nevada No,
Fort Scott and Pittsburg, Kan, heavy
line is under construction which will
bring these people into range with the
new long distance line through 70 New
York. A line is proposed from ST. Louis
west through jefferson City and Soda
liza to Kansas City, which will bring
oil.
New York and other eastern cities
which are now connected by long dis
lance telephone. There are upwards OF
a quarter Of a million OF telephone SUBJ
scrfbers in the United States, and with
in the territory now reached by the long
distance system, considerably more than
one-half Of the entire population OF
this country live and do business, so that
it is a mere figure OF speech to say that
Wichita, when connected will be in in
stantaneous and direct communication
with one-half OF the people OF the Unit
ed States. The charge for talking over
the new long distance system will be S.
for Ave minutes.
The line which will connect Wichita
with the eastern cities is now in course
Of construction and will be completed
this winter. They have almost reached
Abilene. From there the line will be ex-
tended 10 Salina, thence to Mcpherson,
and from the latter place TO Hutchinson.
Wichita is now connected with Hutchin-
son. and will have the long distance
facilities as soon as the new line is COM
pleted. In addition TO the advantage OF
being in connection with the larger
cities of the eastern states, Wichita
will be connected with 10 towns in
Kansas and Missouri. Wichita under
the present arrangements is only in
communication with twenty-seven Kan
sas towns.
Manager L. F. Duggan Of this city re-
Gently received a letter from Superin-
tendent Charles Mcdaniel Of Kansas
City, saying that telephone line from
this place to Kingman, Goddard, Gar
Den Plains. Cheney. and other places
west, taking in Mayfield. Milan, Argo-
MIA, Harper and numerous other towns
would probably be constructed in the
very near future.
