~ ITTSBURG, Aug. 15.-There was no
material change in the strike stu
alton today; there were no moves
made on either side in the vicinity Of
Pittsburg, and reports from the other
strike centers were to the effect that
quiet prevailed.
It is believed the officials of the Anal
gamated association are considering
plans to extend the strike to the west
ern mills, despite the decision of the
local lodges to remain at work.
Their organizers. who were so suc-
cessful in Wheeling. have, it is SAID,
been given instructions to hold them
selves in readiness to start west. There
is secret conference in progress at the
strike headquarters today, but its ra-
ture and participants are not known.
The short crews at work in the Painter
and Lindsay & McCutcheon mills re-
sumed work today. and no attempt was
made at either place to add to the force.
The lower union mill Of the Carnegie
company Is still in operation. but the
final result is in doubt.
The Amalgamated men are making an
effort to get the force reduced to point
where the plant will have to close, and
the company seems Just as determine
to keep 1t gong.

The French market is flooded and
scows have been brought into requsi-

up Lake Pontchatrain into the old and
new canals, and both of these over
flowed their banks for a considerable
distance.
Hundreds of business men of New
Orleans live along the gulf coast dur
ing the summer and have thus far been
unable to reach the city. Reports from
Milnburg say that the big excursion
steamer New Camelia, which was lying
at the wharf there, capsized during the
storm and is pounding heavily against
the pier. The tugboat Neptune is also
reported to have capsized.
Much apprehension is felt in the city
of extensive damage to rice by the
storm. Reports from the rear of the
city say that an area about two miles
in extent, thickly populated, is Hooded
to a depth of two feet and that there
is much suffering in consequence
among thepoor er classes.

Seattle, Aug. 15.-The first detailed
news received since last winter from the
Koyukok diggings is to the effect that
the camp is turning out well, with 300
men in camp. Half a dozen creeks are
proving rich one property paying $1,000
a day.
The camp is not a new Klondke, but
as an attraction to men who are casting
about for a new placer field it is the
strongest offered this season.
No one should go there, however, with
out an outfit calculated to last a year,
as food is scarce, and transportation
difficult.
Except by private enterprise, it is too
late to get into the camp this season.
The distance from Dawson by the all
river route is 1900 miles.
