while only two or three We're In the
Sandy creek mines. The policy of the
miners is to form camps at these mines
as well as at Oak Hill and maintain a
large party on guard.
President Dolan announced that he
could get land from private parties on
which to pitch his camps.
The feeling in the camp was one of
triumph. The miners claim that they
are on the high road to success, and
the enthusiasm, which has seemingly
slumbered since yesterday, is now fully
awakened.

rested ana made preparations for to-

Two new camps We're instituted this
afternoon after the meeting. The one
at Plum creek will be known as Camp
Resistance and the one at Sandy creek

The force of deputies tonight were
kept pretty busy. Every move on the
part OF the miners was watched and
trouble seemed to he in the air. The
situation can be said to be critical. Both
sides feel that there is a crisis hear ut

The officials of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company gave out

against the camp had begun.

SENATOR MILLS Is RIGHT.
Says with Democratic Harmony the
DingIey Bill Will Destroy the
Republican Party.

Corsicana. Tex, July 31.-(Special)-
Senator Mills came up town this after
noon. When asked what would be the
effect of the tariff bill passed by congress
he replied that ii would result in the alb.
solute destruction of the republican party
if the democrats would quit quarreling
and fighting among themselves long
enough 10 present Il solid and unbrOken
front against their republican foes. The
Mckinley bill had resulted in the demo
crafts sweeping the whole country, and
this new tariff iniquity would result
same way If the democrats would unite
their forces.
The currency question. according to
Senator Mills view, will be the leading
question before the next congress, and
as much time will he spent over it as
was spent upon the tariff measure just
enacted.
