Against Any One Who May Try

Palace last night in honor of the German
Emperor and Empress. 1t was made the
occasion OF strong protestations in behalf
CT peace by the Car and Emperor Will
liam. The Gar, in thanking the Kaiser
for visiting Russia, referred TO the visit as
fresh manifestation of tho traditional
bonds uniting the two empires and as a
precious guarantee OF the m maintenance OF
general peace.
William made an ELUSIVE reply. He
seemed TO be overwhelmed by the fact that
the Gar had created him an admiral in
the Russian navy, for which he thanked
him. Continuing he said:

ing the determination reached last night
at a meeting of all the miners of the
Moundville district, diggers who have de-
cided to aid the strikers are assem- bling
in an orchard above Glendale. At 2
o'clock Monday morning they will begin
their march to the Glendale mines, three
miles distant, reaching their destination
few minutes before the diegers go into
the mines for the days work. They will
not be permitted to enter the shafts under
any circumstances. The marchers will
leave detachment to guard the pit, while
the remainder will go to the Boggs Run
mine, six miles away, where 100 men are
employed. The defiant attitude of the
Boggs Run men has ranked deeply in The
bosems OF the strikers, and IL is announced
that they will be forced to strike at any
cost. The strikers will camp at Boggs
Run, being fed by public contributions.
No sooner did the Moundville men agree
10 march to the operating plants than
their brethren across the river "a Wheel
ing Creek decided on the same procedure.
Al 3 o'clock Monday morning 500 of them
are expected to march to No. Heather
vision will march to Wigee, two miles
below.
Discomfort, for the first time during the
strike, is pervading Belm ont district. The
strikers agree that the fight must be set
tied soon, hence the determination to
supplant public meetings with early
morning marches and the more powerful
influence exered by large bodies OF strik-
ers. Unless a change comes soon the
miners will be actually starving.
ALTOONA. Pa, August 8-Two hun
dred striking employees OF the Mitchell
Coal and Coke Company at Hastings have
returned to work, alter an idieness of three
weeks. Their grievances having been rec
tihed no further trouble is anticipated.
All the English-s peaking miners OF the
Barnes Company, in Cambria County, who
struck because they were compelled TO
mine one car IN five for the supern-
tendent have also gone back to work,
with the assurance that their grievances
will be adjusted. Foreign born miners
refuse 10 work and are very bitter against
the company. Three hundred of them
are still out, but their places will likely
be filed by American-born workmen.
Elrly this morning the fanbouse of
Sterling mine No. 8 at Hastings was de-
stroyed by fire. Striking Huns are blamed.

VINCENNES, IND, Aug. eighty
coal miners from Linton captured an
Evansville and Terre Haute freight train
bound Tor Evansville to-day, where they
were to meet 1900 more miners and then
proceed to Darlington, KY, to try to get
the miners of that place to strike. The
train was sidetracked here half a day,
when Superin tendent Corbett ordered it
to proceed. When the train started the
miners again took possession and pro-
ceeded 10 Evansville. The strikers are in
command of J. D. PIcSens of Coxev fame.

Kentucky in an attempt to hegu-
late Social affairs.

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. S.-The resi-
dents of Mckee, Jackson County, are
greatly alarmed at a recent outbreak OF
whitecaps. The present band takes its
me- Oh borhood gossip for proof OF guilt,
and deals unme rcifully with its victims.
Ten persons were whipped during The last
week. Last night a general raid was
made, during which the families OF three
homes on Horselick Greek were victims.
Going to the home Of George Abrahams,
the men took from their beds Abrahams,
his wife and niece. They were led IN their
nightclothes into the woods, where the
garments were removed. and they were
bound fast to saplings and whipped with
hickory withes until the blood came.
Then they were released and warned to
leave the county.
The family of "Doc" Miller was next
visited and Miller and his wife whipped
William Collins home was visited next.
He and his wife were beaten. IL was
charged that the three men and their
wives had persuaded Abrahams' niece to
leave her home and associate with dis
reputable persons.

A LONG-LOST BROTHER.
Mrs. Callahan of Boston Believes
She Is Sister of Lucky
Patrick Murphy


BOSTON, MASS, Aug. S-The arrival of
Patrick Murphy with his 5000, 900 load of
gold dust from the Klondike has sent rays
of hope and Joy into the hearts of one
Boston family.
No one took more interest in Murphy
arrival at San Francisco than Mrs.
Catherine Callahan of 256 Everett street,
East Boston. He is her long-lost rother,
whom she has not seen for fifteen years.
Interviewed by THE CALL correspondent
Mrs. Callahan SAID:
My brother Patrick is the only living
relative tuat l have. We were brought
up III Cork and lived there up to thirty
wears ago. We then moved to Liverpool.
Patrick was a rather wild sort OF a chap.
When quite young he entered the English
armv, but soon tired of military life.
He accumulated enough money to buy
his release and returned to Liverpool. He
was of rowing disposition and suddenly
took liking 10 sailors life. He en-
gagged as a sailor on one of the South
American ships and went to Rio Janeiro.
That was from thirteen to fifteen years
ago.
THAT was the last ever heard of him.
He always said that he would like to visit
the gold fields OF South Africa and Alaska
and before going away said he would re-
turn some day with plenty of wealth.
"Of course, If he is my brother, | want
to see him anyway, and if THE CALL could
get word TO him before he left for the old
country it would save him a useless trip
and also notify him just where we are SO
that he could call and see US

Norel Race on BfcycLe Sutktes OUer an
Eastern Track.
BOSTON, MASS, Aug. 6.-A new style
in horseracing was tried in Pittsfeid yes
terday-a race driven by women on bicycle
sulkies, in every way under the National
Trotting Association rules. The idea was
conceivel by Colonel w. G. Morrill,, owner
and manager of the Union Driving Park,
and the race was so successful that it will
be feature of all the leading meetings in
the State this season.
This is the first regulation track ever
driven over by women. In the list were
twelve entries aud all were on deck and
ready 10 start on this occasion. AS the
race was an experiment. the women were
all very neatly alfred in bicycle costumes.
The four drivers we're all young. The
citizens OF PlttsIied gave a reception for
the women in the evening, which was at
tended by nearly 500 people. The drivers
we're Miss Leuta Elliott, Mrs. S. E. Crosby,
Mrs. n. F. Woodcock and Mrs. II. Z.
Meader. They made remarkably good
speed, Miss Elliott winning the race.

The passenger steamer Farallon will
probably leave tomorrow for Dyea with
about 100 cabin passengers, fifty horses,

Agent Charles Uonklin says the steamer

Her elegance is not improved by the
