out a murmur.
Captain Bellingham was back In camp
Thursday and denied that the camps
were to be abandoned. The camps, he
saws will be continued until the end of
the strike and the reduction in the num-
ber of men was necessary in order to
carry out secret orders, which could
not be done with a large force. The
stopping of the marchers has put more
men to work. The output at Plum
Greek was nine cars of lump and seven
cars of screened coal, and at Turtle
Creek five cars of coal was mined.
The operators are determined to start
their mines but many of them are Will

MINERS WORKING AT COFFEEN.
General BradIey's strikers Are Uhable
to Induce Them to Quit.

Hillsboro, Ills. Aug. 20.-Eighty-sev-
en- miners are working at Coffeen. The
strikers under General Bradley are
still in the village. They called meet
ing of the miners to be held Wednes-
day night desiring TO argue with them
ana urge them to quit work. but the
miners refused to attend the meeting
or have anything to say to them. The
strikers gathered in large numbers on
the streets near the mine Thursday
morning and tried to persuade the men
TO stay out of the mine, but without
effect.
Matters are at a great tension and
unless the miners quit work or the strik-
ers leave soon it would seem impossi-
BILE TO prevent resort to violent meas
ures on the part of the strikers. Their
talk is becoming threatening since ar
puments seem to be unavailing. Armed
deputies are still guarding the mine.
General" Bradley was released on a
81 900 bond. His trial for resisting po-
lice officers will be held here next
Wednesday.

We would much prefer to fight the bat

such understanding 10 not departed from,
except a months notice be given TO its
competitors before any alteration is carried
out.
I'VE have grown wiser. No company
thinks IL can get all the traffic. But the
company in the best position will get the
much larger share of what traffic will do.
There is this. also, to be said: Two COM
panles do not go over the same ground.
And the intermediate traffic, beginning or
ending at intermediate stations and going
TO the one or the other of the termini, gets
the benefit of the through fast trains. So
that, although there is competition between
the two companies, there is a great adj
vantage given 10 the public at the prin-
cipal intermediate station on account of
the running of the fast train by either road.
There is still another view to be put
forward: That the greater amount of ac-
commodation given by all the companies to
a particular town the greater is the devel-
opment of that town IL II be a trading
place the competition opens all parts of
the country to the trade. There is better
business OF the town can be greatly ex-
tended. Time is element that the trad
erS value very much.
The English companies also agree to is
sue what are called traders periodical tick
cts. Even competing lines agree that a
trader on line can issue ticket giving
the right to travel over line B. so that
there is practically universal booking among
the several railroads, although any two of
the companies may be in competition with
each other between certain points.
In goods traffic each company carries
the freight as far as it can over its own
line 1t can also book over the line of the
company necessary to form the route be-
tween the points indicated: so that there
is universal booking to all noncompetitive
points for passengers and for goods between
all railroads in the country. We manage 1T
so that all can live"
What do you think will be the future of
some of our struggling lines now in the
hands of a receiver?" was asked, in con-
clusion.
Il think there is no doubt that although
the traffic of to-day may not produce fair
and reasonable return, the capital expended
in the gradual development of the country
will insure a commercial dividend in the
near future"
Sir Henry will retire from active work

still hale and hearty, and thoroughly in
