American Exhibits at the Exposition
VIII he ON View on sundays, Ex-
cept the Pavilion.

PARIS, April 10.-United State Com
missioner Ferdinand W. Peek consult
ed with the authorities at Washington
respecting the question OF Sunday open-
ing at the exposition in this city, and
has received a eablegram saying that
President Mckinley desired that the
American section should be closed on
the Sabbath as far as allowed by the
French regulations. Mr.. Peck thereup-
on saw the French authorities and was
shown a bylaw which compeis the
opening of all exhibits on the seven
days of the week and even gives the
French authorities power to remove
any coverings placed over an exhibit
case during unauthorized hours. The
same rule applies TO machinery and
the bylaw makes no exception in the
case Of the national pavilions. At Mr..
Pecks instance, however. the director
general of the exposition has given
the American commissioner special
permission to close the American pa
yiion Sundays.

meeting of a committee represent
ing the United Mine Workers OF Amer
lea, at Frostburg, a general strike was
declared this afternoon that Will close
every mine in the Georges Greek re-
gion for an indefinite period. The
resolutions adopted declare the strike

per day.
The United Mine Workers state that
their determination to strike was
brought about by the operators refus-
ing TO meet them in joint conference,
this being their sixth appeal.
The company's representative here
was seen tonight and stated that they
would board up their mines FOR the
season and fill their compulsory orders
from mines outside of this territory.
There is rumor, however, that Tor
eign labor will be imported and that
the stdte militia VIII be called upon
TO protect them. The business men
are holding a meeting at Frostburg
tonight, at which time some proce-
dure will be formulated for action dur
ing the strike.

A COAL FAMINE.



Effects of the Miners Strike.
PITTSBURG, Pa, April 10.-With
10000 miners on a strike and many
of the mines operating on half time
and with no immediate prospect of a
complete resumption, the condition in
the coal trade has assumed an alarm
ing aspect. Coal yards in Pittsburg
and Allegheny are short of fuel, and
to- day domestic consumers were given
only half of the amount they asked
for in orer that the supply may be
made to go around until more*is OBJ
tanned. 9
Thi condition exists not only in the
two cities but in most of the import
ant boroughs of the country, and has
affected many towns further away
which depend on Pittsburg for their
supply.
