SHIPMENTS OF COAL.
over Five Million BusheIs Started
Down the Ohio Yesterday.

PITTSBURG. Pa, Nov. 26.-The busiest
place in Pittsburg to-day was the river
front, where preparations were being made
for the first coal shipment in months to the
South. The shipment probably will not ex-
ceed 100000 bushels, the curtaiiment being
due to the uncertainty of the boating stage
of water and the pilots strike, which has
tied up a number of boats. The strike does
not affect the independent firms, all hav-
ing signed the scale.
The pilots tonight still remain firm in
their demands. According to them. the
M~Onongahela River Consolidated Coal and
Coke Company has only been able 10 send
one-third of the coal out on this rise. Had
the combine been able to secure pilots
they would have sent out 12.000.000 bushels.
The independent coal companies have
been getting out their coal with great sue
cess. These companies sent out thirty-five
coal barges to-day. 1t is the opinion of
the officials of the Independent companies
that If the strikers are able to hold out
they will get their scale signed by the
combine companies. The combine Of
fcials are very decided In their announce
ment that under no circumstances will they
sign the scale.
The total amount of coal shipped down
the river to-day was 1855. 500 bushels.

TURKS AND
They Fight at an Armenian Convent
and Several Are Killed.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-Costaki Anthopulo
Pacha, the Turkish ambassador to Great
Britain, has given out the Porte's explana-
ton OF the seizure of an Armenian convent
in the neighborhOod Of Mush by Armenian
reVOlutiOnists, and the subsequent sur
rounding of the convent by Turkish troops.
The ambassador says that bandits have
been ravaging the country and extortlng
money and goods from the Armenian pop
%ulation, numbering those who refused to
comply with their demands. These ban
dts brought about sixty women and chill
dren as prisoners to the monaSterleS, ana
Andranik, the leader of the bandits, tried
to obtain money by threats from the Ar
menians of Mush. ThereupOn, in order 10
protect the women and children, the I'M
periaI authorities surrounded the monas-
terry with Turkish troops. Some lighting
occurred, during which two brigands and a
Turkish corporal were killed. British and
Russian consuls went to the scene and tes-
titled to the correct attitude of the Turkish
soldiers. The %brigands kept up a hot nre
from the monastery and being we'll pro-
visioned, they were able to offer a stout
resistance.
This official statement from the Turkish
ambassador does not explain how the AT
fair ended, but a dispatch received subse-
quently from C~onstantinople says that the
brigands fled and the Turkish troops were

WILL BUILD PERMANENT CAMP.


JACKSONVILLE, KY, Nov. 26.-The
camp OF the striking union miners at Nor
%tonville Is again a reality and the most
authentic reports from there to-day are
that there are about 100 armed men In camp
and hat from their appearance and man.
ners it would seem that they have come TO
stay and resist any attempt on the part Of
the authorities TO again remove them. A
contract was let by the union men to-day
TO carpenters for the building Of a tempo
rary box house 20x100 feet. The building
IS TO be used by the campers as a home
during the winter and they will claim IL as
their place Of legal residence. There were
at least 100 men in and around the camp
late this afternoon. There is a large num-
Der Of the union men I'm the vicinity who,
IL is thought. will join the camp as soon
as the building is erected and many are
nO% coming in TO lodge in the new tents.
President James ID. Wood and Vice Presi-
dent Kit Barnaby and Board Member Read,
OF the miners, and Attorneys Everett and
Jerold Johnson called on Judge Hall to-
day for the purpose Of making a formal de-
mand of the Judge TO return the tents and
other camp paraphernalia belonging to the
United Mine Workers of America that
were taken by the sheriff last Sunday
when the campers were arrested and lodged
in Jail. Entering the office, the compli-
ments OF the day were exchanged, then re-
fusing an invitation from Judge Hall to
be seated, and after a moments hesitation
President Wood said. Judge Hall, 1 un-
QefSlduQ tldl YOU nave III your UUSStSSlOU
some of the property belonging to the
United Mine Workers OF America"
Judge Hall replied: Yes, sir"
President Wood have come to ask that
you return at once all of the property be-
longing to the United Mine Workers in
your possession to the place from which
il was removed.
Judge Hall declined TO grant the request
of Wood. This action on the part of the
union officials is the formal notification
that an attachment will be issued against
County Judge Hall for the recovery Of the
union goods.
The dead body Of Bert Williams, a union
miner. was found near NOrtOnVille to-day.
The cOrOner's verdict was that he was shot
by unknown parties.
To-day President James y. Wood, of the
Twenty-third district. was asked If Presi-
dent Mitchell was contemplating calling OF
the strike i'm Hopkins county until late in
the spring, aud he replied in the negative,
insisting that if il was true he knew moth
ing about 1T. Wood said that the financial
end of the strike was all right.
The trials of the twenty-one men who
were taken into custody by the sheriff and
deputies at the union camp last Sunday
will come up before Judge Hall tomorrow.
The charge IS that of banding and cOnfed-
Grating together for the purpose of III
timidating the nonunion men in Hopkins
county. which is a felony, and punishable
by confinement in the State Penitentiary
for not less than one nor more than five
years.

their thirty-ive acres of land. and the
Normal and Collegiate Institute for Young
Women was founded.
Another school directly growing from Mrs.
Peace's Kitchen mission" is the home
Industrial school for girls. a near neigh
Dor to the normal institute; 400 girls attend
the two schools, and there is always a long
waiting list. Eight miles away is a school
for mountain boys; and altogether in the
three schools may be found 500 young peo-
pie who are students, not because IL is the
custom, but because they have ambition
and mean 10 rise; and all these schools owe
their existence primarily 10 Mr.. and Mrs.
PeaSe, and after them TO the Presbyterian
Women'S Board of Missions, which has,
moreover, founded twelve others in the
mountains of western North Carolina, most
OF them taught by graduates from the nor
NAL and collegiate institute. The institute
is of great value, but not of as much inter-
est as the industrial school, which takes
the ignorant mountain girl at twelve and
fifteen years, unable TO read or write. know
ing nothing of the habits Of civilized life,
unacquainted for the most part with the
ordinary principles or housekeeping. and
makes of her a well-mannered, capable
young woman, capable of carrying on a
house creditably and grounded in the first
principles OF education. From the Indus
trial school, if fortune favors her, she goes
into the normal institute, where she re-
ceiveS the usual normal training. The boys
school closely resembles the girls indus
trial school. sSve that the boys are taught
farming. Five scholarships are maintained
by contributions from Illinois churches,
TWO from iowa ana Two from MlcnlBdn.
Very little of the support of the school
comes from Chicago, although the small
mountain schools have received liberal as
sistance from Mrs. Cyrus II. Mccormick.
The Fourth Presbyterian Church maintains
a school at Marshall: the Presbyterian
women of Detroit have one at Walnut
Springs, the Presbyterian society at Man
katO, Mimi, has paid the salary OF a teach
eT at Asheville for several years. and the
children of the Church of the Covenant at
Chicago furnished one of the rooms at the
normal institute.

EFFORT TO PLACATE GERMANS.
King Edward Pays Military HOnors
to Count HatzfeIdt's Remains.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-Full military honors
were paid to the remains Of Count Won
Hatzfeldt-W ildenberg, the late German
ambassador to the court Of st. James (who
died here Nov. 22', when the body was re-
moved from the embassy here this evening
and taken to Victoria railroad station, on
its way to Germany. This exceptional step
was entirely due to the initiative of King
Edward. who quite Unexpectedly notified
the relatives of the deceased diplomat that
he desired TO pay this unusual tribute to
the ambassador, who had untiringly Ia
bored in the interests of the good relations
of the two nations. Half a battalion of
foot guards were stationed at the German
embassy and half a battalion of the same
troops were on duty at the railroad sta
ton, while life guards escorted the gun
carriage bearing the remains.
In view of the Anglophobia in Germany
the Kings action is considered highly tact
full, and as calculated to show that the
relations between the two governments are
wholly friendly.
