HARD COAL MINERS MAY STRIKE
Men in Anthracite Field to Begin Or
gnuizing at Once.


gnnizing at Once.
On the success or failure of the titumin-
Gus coal miners strike depends the incep-
ton of a movement by the anthracite min
ers for higher wages and better. condi-
tons. District President Patrick Dolan
and the other officials of the United Mine
Workers organization have received sew
eral letters within the last few days from
different parts of the Pennsylvania an
thracite coal region asking for informa-
ton as to the outlook for the big strike
and wanting to know what assurances OF
victory they have. If the bituminous min
ers win, the anthracite diggers think they
would have an equal chance Of securing
an advance in wages. II the present
strike is lost the attempt for an advance
will not be made in the anthracite region.
The anthracite miners are poorly organ
lied. AT one time their union was strong,
but disastrous strikes, in which the men
were beaten, resulted in gradual shrink
age in the union. The United Mine Work
ers' officials have sent cheerful news in
response to the request for an opinion on
the outcome Of their strike. The intention
Of the anthracite miners is to get together
as many of their fellow workmen as posi-
BILE before any demand for higher wages
Is made, and, looking to this end. organ
izers will begin work Mt once.

SOCIETY SENSATION AT IN

Senator Fairbanks' Daughter EiopeA

Social circles in Indianapolis were great
" surprised Friday afternoon when 1t was
learned that Miss Adelaide Fairbanks,
only daughter of United States Senator
Fairbanks, had been quietly married at
the house Of mutual friend to DIR. Hor-
ace II. Allen, Jr., proprietor of the Ma
tional Surgical Institute. The surprise
was heightened when it became known
that the pastor of another church had
been called to perform the ceremony, and
two elderly couples, long time friends OF
the family, were the only witnesses to the
ceremony. Rev. DIR. Ballard, the minis
ter, knowing the two families well, ex-
pressed some surprise that he should be
called upon to officiate on such an occa-
sion, and asked for particulars. He was
informed by his visitor that the parties to
the proposed contract were of legal age,
that they had long loved each other, and
although Senator Fairbanks was out of
the city, they had determined to take adj
vantage of the present moment to carry
out their ng-cherished wishes.

DRIVING SHEEP OVERLAND.

Flock Of $4,000 Head on the Way
from Oregon to Kansas.
j. A. Knowlin, live stock commission
merchant of Kansas City, has bought In
Oregon $4,000 sheep, which are now being
driven overland to Kansas, where they
will be fed next winter and marketed the
following spring. This immense herd has
been divided into twelve bands, each OF
which is driven by eight men. The sheep
are allowed to Craze along the roadside
each day. The drivers are furnished with
horses and camping outfit and while the
sheep rest at night the shepherds sleep In
tents. The bands are driven about twelve
miles apart and Mr.. Knowlin expects to
reach Kansas with the sheep by October.
BY driving the sheep overland instead Of
shipping them by rail the commission
merchant will save perhaps 100000, as
the transportation charges from Oregon
to Kansas amount to 81 head.

conduct of the Italian prisoners who were
captured by King Menelek during the re-

from Paris. The fight was desperate
one. The Prince was severely wounded,
and was removed from the field hors de
combat. ThesCount was slightly wound
ed. Certain cynical persons decline even
now to regard the affair seriously, and de-
scribe it as a horrible accident on the
field of honor. A majority of the Paris
ians, however, treat it as an international
event Of the most tragic Importance. The
victim is the hero of the hour, and bullet

both sides to prevent their escape. A
Rock Island man cut the hose. This was
the signal for hostilities. Many shots were
fired and clubs, rocks and missiles of all
kinds used. Quite number of Rock
Islanders are more or less hurt, none very
severely. They secured few books be-
fore they were stopped, but were penned
in their train by armed deputies. Head

ately and the records will now remain un-
til it can be tried in the courts.

TRADE ON THE MEND.

OF Bcttcr lines.
X. G.. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: Every city reporting this
week notes increase in trade and nearly
all bright crop prospects. Tie great
change in business is emphas sized by the
presence of multitude of buyers from
all parts of the country, by their state
ments of the situation at their homes,
and more forcibly yet by the heavy pur-
chases they are making. The strong rise
in stocks, the growth of bank clearinss
and railroad earnings, the heavy specula-
ton in many products, but most Of all IN
wheat, have made the week one of sur
passing interest even to those who remem-
Der the upward rush in 1879. The great
crops and the haste of foreigners to buy
and ship wheat, in view of shortage else
where, have made the week memorable.
Taking of profits by a pool lowered the
price three cents, but it afterward rose
five cents"

Cubans Predict a Crisis.


The assassination of Canovas, the Span
ish premier, absorbs the attention of pub
lie men to the dwarfing or exclusion Of
everything else. Away down deep there
is fear that the murder may have more
far-reaching significance than the mere
revenge Of anarchists for the execution Of
the Brethren of Disorder" at Barcelona
few months ago. The fear Is that it
may be the signal for the downfall of the
existing Spanish Government and for an
uprising of the forces of discomfort that
have been hammering at the foundations
Of monarchical Spain for many years.
The representatives of the Spanish Gov
eminent and elsewhere lose no time in
putting forward the statement that the
murder has no political significance, but
that 1t is merely n sporadic demonstration
of vengeance, and that IL should be class
ed in the same category MS the assassina-
ton of President Garfield and of the
French president, Carnot. On the other
hand, the Cuban sympathizers joyfully
hail the event as an expression of rising
spirit of revolution in Spain and as the
precursor of the liberation of the island.
The conclusions drawn by the Cuban sym
pathizers may be far fetched. and the con-
nection between the murder of Canovas
and the success of the Cubans may not
be clear, but, nevertheless. there may be
a support for this audacious theory. Can
ovas was the only conspicuously strong
leader of the bourbon or conservative
party in Spain. 1t was he who put Wey-
Ter in command of the Spanish forces of
Cuba and directed him to suppress the re-
bellion, even though in so doing it might
be necessary to exterminate the entire
Cuban population. 1t was Canovas who
kept Wey,er in Cuba and backed him up.
He believed in conquering the island and
in making terms with the survivors after
the subjugation vas complete. There is
no man in Spain who can take his place.
Those facts and conditions are well
known in Washington, and when the
statement is made that the cabinet will
be reformed and the Government go on
without interruption or n change OF policy
doubt is raised as TO the correctness OF
the demonstration.
