How the Brooklyn strike leader Is Going
to Worry the Company.

, How the Brooklyn Strike Leaaer Is o0ine
to Worry the Company.
New York, July 26.-District Master
/ Workman James Pines. OF district as
sembly No. IS, knights of Labor, Lead
er in the Brooklyn street car strike, Is
sued statement yesterday in which he
says: "This strike was forced upon the
men by the president of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company. 1t will be
continued. for the reason that 1t has
the sympathy of all the labor orgaIiza-
tions not only in New York, but in the
entire country. 1t matters
not who the men are who will man the
cars in Brooklyn hereafter, they must
receive the benefit of this effort and
therefore will be much easier to organ
ize than were those who have been
driven out In their homes and alone they
will be shown the benefit they have
received by the sacrifices of those who
had sufficient courage to insist upon
their rights.
"The injustice of the number of hours
they are compelled to work each day
is so thoroughly advertised that neith-
sr the governor nor the mayor can
longer sit idly by and not recognize the
Justice of the mems claims.
l will do always whatever is in my
power to assist the men who have been
courageous enough to sacrifice them
selves for their fellow employees, and no
one can make me believe but that the
fellow emplOye who has received the
benefits will forever remember those
who made such sacrifices.
The newspapers can claim the strike
to be a failure, but no argument that
they or any one can use will satisfy me
that this strike has been anything but
n victory for the men, as the future will
prove. In Justice to Albert Johnson
and the public l want to say this. MIR.
Johnson was opposed to this strike and
advised the men not to strike
The clothing workers, freight handlers,
news boys and messenger boys strikes
gained headway yesterday. The strik-
ing tailors of the east side swelled their
numbers to 5000. Nearly 5000 were
out in the afternoon. Three thousand
more men are expected to quit work in
Brooklyn this week. One thousand
freight handlers employed in the Penn
sylvania railroad yards in Jersey City
decided to go on strike at noon today
for an increase from IL to 20 cents an
hour. This will increase the number
of striking freight handlers to $500.
Manager Wilson. of the Postal Tele-
graph company, said that only $50 of
his $40 messengers had struck. Mana
ger Banks, of the American District
Telegraph company. said that his office
had suffered no inconvenience.

RIOTS BEGIN WHEN DAYLIGHT GOES
Mayor Farley Checknates the Mayor of q
Suburb with an Old Law.

Mayor Farley ChecknateS the Mayor of O
suburb with an Old Law.
With the coming OF darkness small
riots. mostly in the foreign inhabited
part of the city, made their appearance,
and conflicts in which nobody was Sc
riously hurt took place between the
soldiers and police on one side and al
legged strikers and their sympathizers
on the other. Conflicts were frequent
and a numer of arrests were made. At
10 o'clock as a detachment of militia
was nearing Clay and Pearl streets the
crowd bombarded a pair of cars with
stones The soldiers charged with
fixed bayonets, and in a few minutes
the erstwhile aggressive mob was out
of sight.
There were a few incipient riots in
South Brooklyn before midnight, but
the guards had the situation well in
hand Mayor Farley, to checkmate the
mayor of South Brooklyn. where the
sentiment seems to be largely pro-
striker, dug from his musty tones an
ancinet law which declares that in case
of riot, etc. the mayor of the largest
city may declare himself the chief po-
lice commander in the county. This is
to meet the action of the South Brook
lyn mayor in ordering his police to
arrest all conductors and motormen on
cars passing through the suburb IL
found to be armed. and to search them
for arms. The conductors and motor |
men were therefore forced to leave
their weapons on the other side of the |
line.

Indianapolis, July 26.-The News has
a special from Washington which says:
''In response to the demands of the
Grand Army of the Republic, President
Mckinley is looking about for an op-
portunity to transfer H. Clay Evans,
pension commissioner, to some other
position. This may be accomplished
before the annual encampment of the
G. a. r. at Philadelphia in September,
to forestall unfavorable action by that
body.
The pensioners throughout the
country complain of Evans admins
tration, claiming he is too rigid and ex-
acting in demands for evidence. The
report of the committee from the Grand
Army of the Republic. which recently
investigated the conduct of the bureau,
will not completely exonerate the COM
missioner"

The Situation at Cleveland.
Cleveland, July 26.-That the pres
ence of a strong force of militia has
already had a salutary effect upon the
lawless element was shown by the
marked decrease in obstructions
placed on the street car track during
the night. This morning practically
the full quota of cars is running on
nearly all the lines, but most of the
cars were empty or carried few pas
sengers, the result of sympathy with
or fear of the strikers. Thirteen hun
dred troops are cooperating with the
police. This force will probably be
augmented during the day by several
companies of soldiers. The
strikers claim their ranks are practic-
ally unbroken and that they are in a
position to hold out indefinitely.

FACT ADMITTED BY RYAN.
United Mine Worker OmciaI Confesses the
Truth of Charges.

Iruth OIL Charges
Pana, Ills, July 26.-Union miners
held closed meeting at Grand Opera
House last night. attended by over 500
members. State Secretary-Treasurer
W. ID. Ryan addressed the meeting,
confessing the charge of Chairman
Horace Caleb, of the state arbitration
board, that he had signed an agree
ment IN behalf of the miners, with the
coal operators and the board, prior to
taking evidence in the joint arbitration
of the Pana trouble last June, that the
scale should be placed at 3014 cents
per ton, and that the miners should
conform with the decision. Ryan gave
as his excuse that he entered into the
agreement for the purpose of securing
the discharge of the negroes and their
exodus from Pana.
Many miners received Rvan's con-
fession and excuse most unfayorably,
and condemned him in the severest
language, while others considered that
he acted in good faith in signing the
agreement and acted for their best in
terests. The miners also discussed the
offer of the Pana Coal company to re-
open the mines with union men pay
ing them 20h cents, or allow the
miners to operate the mines on the CO.
operative plan, but refused to accept
either offer. They will make the COM
pany a proposition, however, today.

Mines and Mining

{ order that the shipments of concen- ] trates to the east might determine the value of the mire. Word comes from the camp that the mine will be equip ! ped with machinery and worked ex- i tensively by the eastern parties who secured possession of it.
 Ths mine in the Dragons and the one which lies in Las Guijas noun tains are the Cnly producers Of wolf ram ore which have so far come co the notice of the public. That there are other mines equally as valuabla, 10 one seems to doubt, and prO5peetor3 are now dividing their attentions be- tween copper veins and deposits which carry wolfram. Th5 fact that the value of wolfram has been unknown fer So long leads experienced pros pectors to believe that many of the mines which are now being worked contain values in tungsten.
 The greatest iEteresrt in Arizona at the present time is in copper pros poets, and during the past three months some of the prospects which have been idle for years have been taken hold of by eastern capital with good results. The Heivetia mine Is one instance of the transformation of a prospect into producing mine with in a few weeks time. The Eelvetia is located near Tucson and was recently sold to Chicago capitalists for S40,O0J. During the short time the mine has been undergoing development the own CTS have blocked out the purchase price of thsi mine in ore and forty miners are now employed. The AZur- ite is another mine which has been de- veloped this spring and there are q number of others equally as promising as the Helvetia or Azurite. The Pride Of the West was 6 few uay5 ago sold for $150,000, and a large number o- minor sales have been made. The most of ths copper prospects in Pima county are owned by poor prosPcCtors lwhc, have not the means to develop then you would net know what to do some enc to come along and buy their mines at fabulous figures mas taught thsm lesson and today they are sell ing at reasonable figures and on good terms. The development of the cOun- tvs mineral resources is going OH steadily and Tucson has been visited by greater number of mining mal: from eastern states than ever before.
