Berlin, June 22.-This has been a week
OF speeches and regattas, favored during
the last half by fine, sunny weather. 1t
began with the unwilling of the Bismarck
memorial in front of the Reichstag build
ing Sunday, which brought to Berlin
scores of thousands Of people from every
part of Germany and several thousands
of foreigners, including many American
tourists. Count Won Buelows grafton on
that occasion greatly surprised the En-
peror, because the whole tone differed
from His Majesty's conception of Bis
marck's achievements, in which the EN-
peror only sees a servants doing at his
masters direction. This. the Emperor

foot of the statue in his behalf. 1t read:

Whereas at the unveiling of the Bis
marck statue the Emperor did not open
his lips, he made two noteworthy ad-
dresses at Cuxhaven and at Kiel, the
former being the more important The
metaphor, saying Germany had
won for herself a place in the sun

need of German commercial and naval
expansion that the liberal press has con-
cluded therefrom that it Is impossible to
grant the agrarian demands, which means
that the renewal of the commercial trea-
ties viii be rendered most difficult. The
agrarian press has denied this cautiously
and the Conservative press has kept
silence. The whole press was agreeably
affected by the Emperor's statement that
peace is now secured for a number of
years to come.
The Cologne Volks Zeitung to-day criti-
cally reviews His Majesty's Cuxhayen
speech and says
THE Emperor has by his words cor
roborated what is claimed by the Cen
tire, namely, that the China expedition
has been a total failure, for If the Chi
nese war is really ended, what has Ger
many achieved by it? Not even the re-
endorsement of her actual outlay, and
certainly not the enlargement of her Chi
nese possessions; nor has it brought about
harmony among the Powers in China. 1t
is notorious there has been constant
wrangling and jealousies among them. It
would have been better If Germany had.
alone, punished China for Baron Won Ket
telers murder No Power could have OBJ
jected and the punishment would then
have been adequate to the enormity of
the crime.

MINERS ARE ARMED
BAD SITUATION IN WEST VIRGINIA
COAL FIELDS.
SERIOUS TROUBLE FEARED
SEVERAL CLASHES HAVE OCCUR
RED ALREADY.

Miners Are Determined That Oper-
ators Shall Recognize Their Union.
The Strike Threatens to Become
General and the Guards Are Some
what Observation-Disclosures and
Guards Fire Upon Each other and
the Latter Are Dispersed.
Williamson. w. Va, June 22-The min
ers' strike In the Thacker-Matewan coal
fields is growing critical and resort to
firearms has been the result. The whole
field is in a state of excitement and Sc
rious trouble Is feared. Already two or
three conflicts have occurred between
the striking miners and the guards which
have been placed on the works by the
operators.
The trouble has grown out of the non
recognition of the union by the operators.
The operators declare they will
not recognize the union and the
miners are equally as persistent
in demanding that they shall be recog-
nized. The trouble did not assume criti-
cal stage until within the last few days,
when, it is alleged, two of the miners
were followed by the guards of the opera
tors who were armed with rifles Then it
was that, the situation became critical and
the men began to arm themselves.
What at first seemed only to be a small
strike now threatens to assume great
proportions. Up to last evening four or
hve hundred miners had gone out on
strike and 1t is now said that the whole
field is on strike with the guards to some
extent demoralized. Sheriff Hatfield, with
deputies has gone to the scene of action
to quiet the trouble as far as possible
June p Judge Jackson issued an injunc-
ton restraining the miners.
What effect the United States Court
Will have in the strike is not known The
miners have all the money necessary and
have opened commissary stores on the
ground, and are taking care of all men
who will not work.
Last evening late some of the miners
were fired upon by the guards The fire
was returned by the miners, dispensing
the guards ana slightly wounding Supt.
Lambert in the leg. The miners claim
they want no trouble, and that they al
ready have the situation in hand
The lines have been drawn closely and
any moment may bring forward a new
development, with serious result. The en-
tire community is in a state of anxiety,
and business has virtually ceased.

TO COMPLIMENT JOHN HAY.
Harvard Alumni who Opposed Presi.

ueut Also OppOse secretary.
Boston, June 22.-The announcement
that Secretary Of State John hay is COM
ing to Harvard next week to receive a
degree has stirred up the alumni of Har-
ward who opposed the action of the col
lege in voting a degree of Doctor of Laws
to President Mckinley. These graduates
express much the same sentiment con-
corning the step in granting the same
. degree to the Secretary of State as they
did in the case Of the President some
weeks ago, when their opposition was ex-
pressed in a protest to the overseers.
The leaders in the movement adverse to
Mr. Mckinley are divided in their esti-
mate of the Secretary of State. some hold
ing that he is not of sufficient distinction
to merit a degree from Harvard. Others
hold that he is entitled to 1t as man of
culture and for his literary work, but at
the same time believe that to grant the
degree would SAVIOR of a, recognition of
political achievement rather than merit
az a scholar and therefore that the step
should not be taken.

Decidedly Tame Compared With

New York, May 1O.-The first quotation

points, and this was followed by a sale of
Reading, first preferred, at 7115, as against

prices, the traders felt that the worst was
over.
