NINE NEGROES ARRIVE.
Few Black Hands Put to Work In the
Yale Mines.

Pittsburg, June 21.-The strike situa-
ton in this district is practically un-
changed with regard to the number OF
men at work in the mines of the Big
Four companies against whom strike
is being maintained.
The force at Yale was augmented by
a shipment of nine negroes into that
camp by the Western Coal and Mining
company yesterday afternoon under the
protection of squad of deputy mar
ShalS.
At Fleming camp, where the Western
Coal company shipped in 119 negroes,
only seventeen are at work and so far
no coal has been produced by them. The
remainder refused to go into the stock
ade, and this morning under the leader
ship of members of the national execu-
tive board of mine workers and officers
of the district board marched to this
city, a distance of seven miles, and
camped opposite the Western Coal
company's office, where speeches were
made by officers of the U. M. w. A.
The men were cheered as they passed
along the streets and quite a demOnStra-
ton was made.
Another public meeting in which the
striking negroes were the central figure
was held last night, with the result that
steps will be taken at once to return
them to their native Alabama.
The scale committee. which is hand
ling the arrangements for an amice.ble
settlement between the miners and
friendly operators, is making good pro-
gress at last nights session, and both
sides declare they are very near a set
Element. Sixty cents a ton for mine run
has been agreed to by the scale COM
mittee, of which c. J. Devlin of the
Santa Fe Coal company is a member.
This strongly indicates settlement.
The dispositions in the injunction
cases have been taken. The Western
Coal company has asked for more time
and Judge Hook of the federal court
has wired a continuance from today to
Saturday, June "a, for the hearing.
Judge Clemens, for the miners, contends
that there is not a scintilla of evidence
to warrant the invocation of the strong
arm of chancery in guardianship of the
property of the coal company, and to
put an injunction on these miners is
wholly unwarranted by the evidence,
which fails to show any attempt to do
violence.

CENSUS WORK.
Examinations Will Be Held at Various
Points in September.

Washington. June 22.-Director Merriam
of the census has arranged for examina-
ttOns for appointments to the census bu-
reau to be held at Cincinnati Chicago. St.
Louis. St. Paul. Omaha, New Orleans and
Atlanta in September. The number so
far eligible for appointment is $50 and by
February of next year it is possible the
number will be 2,00O though the majority
OF clerks will not be appointed until July
of next year.
Governor Merriam estimates that the
coming census will show a population of
about a. coo. 600, taking into account. among
other things. the falling off of immigra-
ton IN recent years The closing of a
contract with Washington capitalists for
the erection of a building for the ex-
elusive use of the census bureau, the di-
rector. estimates will produce a saving of
500 900 a year, This is based upon the
delays in the last census by the separa-
ton of the force into various buildings
occasioning a loss of both time and
money. About $50 of the 300 census SUI
pervisors who are to have charge of the
work throughout the country will be an
nnunned next month.

THREE MORE REGIMENTS
To Be Raised But Will Not BE Ac-

Chicago, June PA special to the
Record from Indianapolis says:
w. T. Durbin, colonel of the 161st In
diana regiment, returned today from
Washington. where he went to consult
the president about taking his regi-
ment-recently mustered out of the vol
unteer serVice-to the Philippines He
says he has been assured by Adjutant
General COrbin that every request Of
General Otis has been granted as to
furnishing him with a sufficient number
of men. Notwithstanding this fact he
said, there seemed to be a sentiment
among federal authorities that might
lead to the recruiting of several regi-
ments in the United States which would
be sent to General Otis. Three regi-
ments, Col. Durbin says, will certainly
be recruited. But for the first three.
General Otis will be allowed to select
After that officers will be selected by
presidential appointment.
Col Durbin says the war department
will not ask for volunteers by states
The president will appoint all the regi-
mental officers. No regiment will be
taken as a whole, as that would neces-
state taking officers. Companies will not
be taken as companies, but one hundred
men may be taken at one time. This
plan is already on foot and the forrna-
ton of further plans in this direction
is FASTENED by a prevailing sentiment
in favor of crushing the Filipinos at
once.

KIDNEY TROUBLE.
The Most Prevalent, Dangerous,
and Deceptive Disease.
Thousands Have It and Don't
Know It.

Pains and aches come from excess of
uric acid in the blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes
quick or unsteady heart BEATS and
makes one feel as though they had heart
trouble, because the heart is over-work-
ing to pump the thick, kidney poisoned
blood through the veins and arteries
Soreness or uncomfortable feeling in
the back indicates kidney trouble of no
small Importance.
The passing of scanty or profuse
quantities of urine is a warning of kid
ney trouble. If you want to feel well
you can make no mistake by first doc
toring your kidneys.
The famous new discovery, Dr. Kill
mers Swamp Root, is the true specific
for kidney, bladder and urinary trou-
bles. 1t has cured thousands of ap-
parently hopeless cases after all other
efforts have failed.

San Francisco, June 22.--The United

reason that the Philadelphias bottom is
very foul from long service. In some re-
has been sad one, for She bears TO rela-

Americans who lost their lives in the fight
between the MataafanS and the combined

A squad of Americans under Lieutenant

the Americans. who retreated in good or
der, Lieutenant Lansdale was in the
battle, and after ordering his men to go
on, prepared to give up his life to the
SamOans dearly. Ensign Monaghan ran
to his assistance and a sharp hand-to-
hand fight followed. The almost helpless
Americans were killed and their bodies
frightfully mutilated. The bodies We're

country and placed on board the PhiIadel-

citizens had not returned all of their
property for taxation.
An investigation at once began show
ed that the fault in many cases lay with
the county assessor. who had failed to
call upon the people for their assess

money lenders and capitalists 1t brought
out much money not returned, which

Some expressions of surprise at the
number OF strikes occurring in a time of
SO much prosperity have been heard
The whole matter seems simple enough
When times are hard, laborers feel that
they can not afford to strike. They
need whatever they can get so badly.
Besides the employer in many instances
would rather have his works stopped
than not. In prosperous times there is
a much better chance for the strikers
to succeed because their services are
needed to supply an increasing demand
for the products OF labor. Moreover
their brethren of the labor world are
better able to help them.
