STRIKE OF FIREMEN CAUSES A
GENERAL SHUTDOWN IN
WYOMING VALLEY.
THOUSANDS OF MEN IDLE
Only Eight Hundred Are Directly In
voIved In the Walkout but the Clos.
ina Of the Galleries Throws Forty
three Thousand Mine Employees Out
Of Work-No Developments In the
Bio Steel Strike.

Big Steel Strike.
Wilkesbarre, Pa. July 1.-THE
strike of the stationary firemen inaug
urated during the day has tied up
nearly all the mines In the Wyoming
valley and a conservative estimate
places the number of men idle at 49,.
900. This includes the men out In the
Scranton district. Only about 500 OF
these are firemen. The balance is
made up Of miners, laborers. engi'
neers, breaker boys and machinists
employed in and about the collieries'
Every mine from Pittston to Naticoke
Is affected.
When the whistles blew for work
the fremen refused to report for duty
and orders were then issued by the su'
perintendents to close down. The strik'
ing firemen thereupon returned to
their respective headquarters where
they held meetings and discussed the
situation. ..
President Mullahy of the state asso'
citation told the Associated Press cor.
respondent that up to 10 q. m. he had
received reports from the entire wy
oming district of the anthracite re-
gion and only five collieries were
working. President Mullahy esti.
mates that $4,000 men are idle. The
coal companies have pressed into sery.
Ice their foremen and fire bosses, who
will be employed as firemen for the
time being. This is necessary In order
to keep the pumps running and the
mines free from water. At some of
the coliieries hosting engineers who
were asked to work with the new men
refused and quit their posts. The
Delaware and Hudson company has
two mines working and the officials
say they have enough firemen to keep
the pumps running.
Several manufacturing concerns
gave in to the demands of the flremen,
among them the Wilkesbarre Lace
company, employing 1000 hands, and
the Hazard rope works, employing
1000 men. The Wilkesbarre and wy.
oming Valley Traction company Off.
Gals told their aremen to 60 to work
at the increase. s,. = -.

the Injury Is Serious in the Western
Part Of the Corn Belt.
Washington, July 1.-THE weather
bureaus weekly summary Of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
The states of the Middle Rocky
Mountain and Missouri and Mississip-
pi valleys have experienced another,
the third consecutive week, Of intense
heat, the temperatures over q large
part of these districts. ranging above
100 daily during the week, many sta
tons reporting from 100 to lot. With
an almost entire absence of rain the
crops in the region named have been
subjected to most unfavorable condi-
lions. In the states lying Immediately
to the eastward Of the Mississippi
river, very high temperatures have
also prevailed, but the heat has been
less intense and its effects not SO Sc
rious as in the districts to the west
ward. On the Atlantic coast very ia
vorable temperature conditions have
prevailed, with abundant rains, Excess
sive and damaging in portions Of the
Middle and South Atlantic states. On
the Pacific coast it has been cool and
dry with frost in Washington on the
18th. ~.
The corn crop as whole In the
great corn states of the Central val
leys has materially deteriorated and
has sustained serious injury over the
western portion of the corn belt, es-
pecially in Missouri, Nebraska, Kan
sas and Oklahoma. A very large part
of the crop is late, however, and this
has withstood the trying conditions of
drouth and heat remarkably we'll and
with early rains ..
Will Still Make Fair Crop.
This is particularly applicable in
Iowa, Nebraska and portions of Kan
sas and Northern Missouri.
The early corn in Central and South
ern Missouri; portions Of Eastern
Kansas, Arkansas and in the Central
and West Gulf states, has been ire
parably injured. In the Upper Ohio
valley corn, while needing rain, has
improved and in the Atlantic Central
district the crop has made excellent
progress.
Winter wheat harvest is about I'm
ished. except in the, more northerly
portion Of the Atlantic coast districts,
wherein some sections 1t has been re-
tarded by rain. Harvesting has begun
in the North Pacific coast region under
very favorable conditions. Over the
southern portion of the spring wheat
region spring wheat has ripened pre-
maturely and the general prospect is
less promising than previously re-
ported. In the northern portion, how
ever, the outlook continues favorable.
Harvesting is expected to begin in
Northern. Minnesota by the 18th. In
Oregon spring wheat is needing rain.
Oats have suffered IN common with
other crops from heat and drouth in
the states of the Eastern and Central
valleys. Harvesting is now progress

CHRISTIAN WORKERS.

Mortified, Mass.

The Annual General Conference at East
Mortified, Mass.
The 10th annual General Conference
of Christian Workers will be held at
East Northheld, Mass, August LIST to
August 18th. In the call for the con-
ference, W. r.. Moody says:
with the beginning of the new
century. a deep and wide spread interest
has been manifested by Christians
everywhere ia a more extensive preach
ing OF the gospel, Many denominations
and societies have made special efforts
resulting in marked blessing, while
other organizations havesought to pre-
pare the way for future united activity
by calling Christians to prayer and
Bible study,
''Tere is every Indication that during
the coming season there will be in.
creased effort with still greater blessing
to the church and the world. Chris
tians are united in the conviction thar
there is special and urgent need of the
preaching of the gospel. The religious
and social conditions of our country
never needed its influence and messages
of freedom and hope more than now.
No one will deny that God IL ready to
own the preaching of His Word and
prepare servants TO proclaim it. Both
the church and the nation are in danger
from the temptations and evils of pros
perity, which can be overcome only by
the power Of tine Spirit through preach
ing the exceeding sinfulness of sin, the
unfailing love and grace of God and
the atoning death of Jesus Christ.
In extending an invitation to the
Christian public to attend the 10th
General Conference for Christian
Workers to be held this season, our
earnest desire is. that the gathering
may be- to all preparation for effective
work for Christ. In addition to the
usual lectures on the Word of God, In
stitutes on methods of work and con
secutive courses of Bible study, there
will also be opportunities for tbs con-
sideration of plans for evangelistio
work at home and abroad during the
coming year. Prominent and ex-
perienced pastors, evangelists and mis-
sionsries will be present to assist with
their counsel and inspiration. h
In view of this special feature, we
earnestly request the prayers of Chris.
tians everywhere for these forthcoming
meetings"

Abiding to the fact that several
Democratic organizations of Chicago
have adorned their halls with portraits
OF Samuel J. Tilden, the Atlanta, Ga. !,
journal says:
This is hopeful Indication. Samuel
j. Tiiden reorganized the Democratic
party in 1876 and made 1t victorious
after 1t had been routed and demoral-
ICED because it went off after strange
gods in 1872. He took it back to rue
Democratic principles and thus made
its victory possible.
1t IL now most appropriate time to
turn to Tildeu.
He held views on the great questions
OF government, especially those relating
to the currency, radically different from
the theories of the men who have con-
trolled the Democratic party during the
last five years ana under whose lead
the party has met two erIiblu defeats
lie appears that Samuel j. 1'Ildeu,
though dead, yet speaks and that the
memory OF him and mis- wise counsels ia
having effect to turn the Democratic
mind and conscience back toward the
old standard.
III experience is good guide, then ID
will be the course Of wisdom for the
Democratic PARTY in the future to ad-
vocate the principles that brought il
victory in the campaigns of the past.
Samuel j. Tilden was great politi.
cal organizer, and firm believer in the
true principles Of the Democratic party.
He opposed and overthrow political cor
ruption in New York Slate, aud was
elected governor of that common ealth,
In 1876 he was nominated as the cardi-
date OF the Democratiu Earty for Presi-
dent, and was elected, although he
failed TO take his seat, for reasc ms that
are now part of the history of the
country.
True Democratic principles were ex-
emplifed in the three nominations OF
Grover Cleveland for the Presidency.
Twice he was elected by the oyerwhelm
ing sentiment of the people. and once
defeated by the base political treachery
of Tammany IN New York.
So much for the experience of the
Democratic party when supporting
Democratic candidates and Democratic
principles. How grsat the contrast
when Democratic principles were aban
doned and the party organization sur
rendered to Populism. was amply at.
tested By the Overwhelming yerdicts OF
tho people in the campaigns of 1896
and 1900.
There is plain lesson in this con
trast that may be of incalculable
benefit to the Democratic patty of the
country in future rational campaigns.

1t is semi officially denied at ST.
Petersburg that the proposed visit to

anything to do with anti. American

Contrary to the opinion expressed
in Vienna" says a Berlin dispatch to
the London Daily Express, sit is held
that there is no possibility OF general
European trade combination against
the United States, Germany's trade re-

too extensive to permit her to assume

1IobS GNeEtcCts Nbt toitusiuns
The escape of Edward Windnor. the
young ruffian who Lrutally shot his
father to death in Milford, last week, is
an instance of gross neglect OF duty on
the pant OF various local officers of the
law, and has every appearance OF de-
liberate collusicn.
Details OF tho honid crime show that
it was committed 10 the presence Of
several citizens, not one of whom made
the slightest attempt to take the muir
derer in charge, As it Is the duty OF
all citizens TO uphold the Law, these
citizens were dereliot in the matter Of
a grave duty, to say the least.
More surprising still is the statement
that one OF the witnesses OF tho crime
was town policeman, an official sworn
to perform his duty, and paid 10 Ere
serve the peace and arrest violators
thereof. That such man should haze
permitted murderer to escape after
witnessing his crime, and without
putting forth hand to detain him,
almost passes comprehension.
And all the evidence at hand goes to
show that subsequent to the fatal
shooting every ofiicsr OF the law in
Sussex county seemed to have been
Frustrated 10y physical ard mental
inertia. Town policemen, county con-
stables, sheritfs and deputy sheriffs
seemed to vie with each other in doing
nothing. Even the State detective,
who, was not present at the time ths
crime was committed, but who could
have reached there by noon the next
day without any trouble, seems to have
taken his time in going to Milford, and
after arriving there to have contented
himself With promise by the muir
derer's brother that the criminal should
be delivered TO him Immediately after
the funeral of the victim.
As a result of this official laxity and
indifference, the murderer was given
an unobstructed start OF at least three
days, and he has apparently awaited
himself OF this surprising indifference
by effeotually copcealing, his trail.
Even now there is no evidence OF any
determined efforts TO secure his appre-
hension by the authorities of other
States. so that he may be arrested and
held 10 await the tardy movements Of
the Law officers Delaware. The Whole
affair hns the appearance of collision
OF officials and friends of the murderer
to permit the latter to get off safely,
and so far away that there will be slight
probability of his ever Icing brought
to Justice.
II such is the case, it remains with
the attorney. general to put forth all
I the powers Of his office in the effort to
secure the arrest of the murderer Of
Thomas b. Windsor and his speedy
trial. Tc permit such . miscarriage of
Justice as the escape of young Windsor,
would intiict disgrace upon the State.
