police arrived on the spot.

FORREST CITY, ARK, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL H. 1902


\ summary of the weekly crop bull
etin of the Arkansas weather bureau,
for the week ending April 9, shows
that unfavorable weather conditions
have retarded farming operations and
work is generally two weeks behind
in almost all sections of the state;
wherever the weather permitted, work
has been pushed rapidly. The wealth
er has not been favorable for the prop
er termination of seed and the growth
of vegetation. Some corn has been
planted in all sections. and in some
localities is almost completed, but
the bulk of the crop remains to be
planted. Some preparations are be-
ing made for cotton planting, but none
has been planted. Wheat and oats,
as rule, do not present very fiat
tering prospects, although in many
localities the change has been for the
better, oats especially has improved
and the stand is fair to good. Some
potatoes have been planted, and are
coming up in some sections, while in
others they are not doing we'll and are
rotting in the ground. Fruit trees
are budding and have received no in
jury from the frost of the first of the
month

WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH.
The Pennsylvania Coal Co. Locks Horns
With the Miners of the Cen
trail District.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 9.-The Post
says:
"A remarkable development in the
coal miners strike in the central dis
trict fields has taken place during the
past few days. 1t was learned from
official sources last night, that the
strike of the miners there, and par
tieularly those who were employed
by the Rochester & Pittsburg Coal
CO., has determined the coal com
pany to adopt drastic measures for
stamping out all unionism in their
section. The Rochester d Pittsburg
company, which employs fully 10000
men, despairing of a settlement of
the trouble with its miners, has given
orders to close down the mines. This
order means the absolute idleness of
the companies for at least the pres
ent summer. 1t will leave the miners
without work whether they would
work or not, and will seriously affect
business in Punxsutawney.
The first steps taken was to issue
the notices to the miners occupying
houses owned by the company to re-
move from them. The first of these
ejectment notices were served last
Thursday and to miners who had
been leaders of the strike All of the
others are to have similar notices
served upon them during the present
week, and with their families will be
compelled to move. In addition to
this the company's stores have been
practically closed down, and the
clerks dismissed.
When the company is ready 10 be-
gin again, it is said, it will hire nom
union men only.

Advices from Washington state that
Hon. Powell Clayton, ambassador to
Mexico, will be retained at his present
post. Gen. Clayton is said to have
met the charges preferred against him
to the entire satisfaction of the ad-
ministration. A part of the cdarges
which were given publicity and which
it was believed were under consid.
Grafton at the department were never
in fact referred to Gen. Clayton.
These related to his alleged neglect OF
the interest of Americans in the Mex.
lean courts. 1t develops that Gen.
Clayton in all he did in this connec-
tion carried out the explicit instruc.
tons of the department at Washington
and every detail Of the proceedings
was made familiar to the Washington
officials as sool as developed The
other charge and the only one the gen.
eral had to meet. was that he had
acquired an interest in mining prop.
erty in Mexico in which Mexican of
ficials were interes ed. This he dis
posed of to the satisfaction of both
the president and Mr. Hay.
