Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND. Ohio. July 6.-Reports
from the mines orerated from this point
received this morning indicate that 80 per
cent of the 1000 miners who are under
direct orders from Cleveland have thrown
down their tools and that before another
week transpires the larger part of the
other 10 per cent will have quit work. The
magnitude of the strike is appalling, and
never before in the history of mining in
this state have Cleveland operators con-
fronted so gigantic asstrike as the pres
ent one.
1t is the opinion of the operators here
that unless the men get an advance speed
lily the struggle will be a protracted one.
possibly lasting into the autumn months.
Cleveland operators control mines in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and a few in West Virginia.
In 1894 they were considerably discom-
model by a strike lasting just one month.
That struggle CONNIE need April 30 and was
over June -, 1t is the opinion here that
the present strike will far exceed in grav-
ity the one of three years ago.
y large number of the operators left
town this morning for their mines. Those
who remain state that they are in good
shape to stand q long siege. all having on
hand large supply of coal.
The opinion of Horace 8. Chapman dem
ocratic candidate for governor, on the
bearing of the strike on the political sit
uation is published here this afternoon.
Mr. Chapman says: Il with other Ohio
operators approve of the demand for an
advance in the price of mining and am
ready to pay same whenever our COMPETE
tors can be either prevailed upon or per-
studded to do So"

STRIKE IN PI1.rSBURG DISTRICT.
MeaSer Reports Coming In, but Claim
Many Are Out.
PITTSBURG, Pa. July 1.-THE strike CT
coal miners is on In the Pittsburg district,
but reports as to it's extent are so conflict
ing and meager that 1t is difficult to tell
how many responded to the strike order.
The miners officials had not heard from
one-fourth of the mines in the district at
1 o'clock, but they expressed themselves as
confident that the order had been generally
obeyed, and that all the miners would be
out in few days.
The reports received say that all the
mines on the Wheeling division of the Bal
tinlore and Ohio railroad are idle. Among
the mines shut down are those of the Pitts
burg and Chicago Gas Coal Company,
whose men, ii was said. would not quit
rf-rk tGarr hoI lit
The Osceola mines are also idle, as are also
those at ShanerS.
Idle in Panhandle District.
In the Panhandle district the Champion
mine is idle. The only report received of
mines that working IN that district
are from the Panhandle mine Of NJ. A.
Hanna & Co and Beading Bros All the
Banksville mines are idle and but sixty
men are at work in the Jumbo mines.
The most encouraging reports for the
strikers comes from the river mines, and
ii can be stated that fully 600 river dig
gers are idle. But few mines are in oper-
alton. and the indications are that by
Thursday every mine will be shut down
as the miners are determined in their de-
mands.
Operators Sny Men VIII Go Back.
The operators admit that the mines on
the Wheeling division are idle today, but
say it is que to the fact that this is a Slav
holiday, and that the men will be at work
tomorrow.
A strong effort was made to bring out
the men at the New York and Cleveland
Company mines at Turtle Creek, Plum
Creek and Sandy Creek, but it as not sue

usual, and say they will not join in the

DEGRADATION OF NEVADA

1T is hard to conceive of a condition of
the moral atmosphere that would induce
women to witness prize fight; but that
society in the state of Nevada is breath
ing such az atmosphere there does not
seem to be any doubt. AT the request
of certain prominent citizens, Dan Stu
art, the manager of the forthcoming
brutal affair, recently announced that
women will be admitted to the rings
side on parity with men. But, profess
sional instigator and manager of prize
fights, as he is, Stuart shrinks from as
suming any responsibility for the pres
ence of women on the occasion. He says
tickets to women because he was re-
quested to do so by the husbands and
the fathers and the brothers of the
women who desire to see the contest.
The state of Nevada has permitted
great many things to be Gone within her
borders that were not in harmony with
the best standard of American civiliza-
tion, and when her law-making and ex-
ecutive authority cheerfully legalized
the committing of an offense against So

tentiary sentence in some states-the
sisterhood of states felt Inundated and

Residents of our city a dozen years

cinity of Westlake park could be bought
for a mere song, but the locating ana
embellishing Of that park by the city
has raised the value of lots to figures
ranging from $500 to $4,000. AS the final
deed to Griffith park has not been made.
Mr.. Griffith can consent in said final
deed to the sale by the city of say 200
cne-acre lots within said park, and
aligning a boulevard to be constructed
with the proceeds of the sale of the
lots, the price of lots to be placed at
$1,000 to $4,000 each. The location of 200
fine residences within the park would
enhance it's charms and serve as a
deterrent to lawless persons who fire.

could be sold to furnish money to I'M

A Defender O: Dr.. Hastings

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: l have read with interest ard
indignation reports of the trial OF Dr.
c. S. Hastings, and have wondered why
some ore of the many patients that he
has snatched from the jaws or death or
hopeless suffering have not resented
some of the wholesale aspersions that
every paper in the city has seen Mt to
make. 1t has been repeatedly intimated
that DR.. Hastings medical practice
was entirely along illegitimate lines. 1t
is foul slander on many as good women
as Los Angeles possesses. At least l
have a right to vindicate myself and
family from such aspersions as the hab-
itues of Hastings den." "the black hole
of Los Angeles" etc. If 1t had not been
for that same black hole" I would not
have been an inhalktant of this angelic
city for the last nine years. and my
yourgest daughter would have been
cripple. The papers have denounced
the doctor IS a quack without knowledge
of medicine or surgery. If this Is SO.
it is positively refreshing to know that
perhaps that was why he had such Won
derful skill in locating disease. For three

health than I ever had before and was
my family physician for years. treating
everything, from typhoid fever and

in all these years l never saw him go

of those terrible instruments of torture
of which 1 read in the papers.
