SALISBURY DEFIEs ENGLISH KING
Refuses to Dissolve Parliament So That
General Election May Be Held.

LONDON, June 14.-AccordiDg to general
belief of members of the House of Com
mons the King wants Lord Salisbury 10
dissolve parliament after the coronation
and ''go to the country" otherwise have a
general election, and the. premier has re-
fused point blank. He evidently sees no
reason why the government should not
get the fruits of the recent victory for the
next few years. The King on the other
haud, and he is supposed, in, this, to be
much influenced by Lord Rosebery, be-
leves in the ancient custom that the death
of the sovereign involves a dissolution OF
parliament. King Edward is tie first
sovereign whose succession has not been
followed by mechanical dissolution. The
King is understood to take the stand that
this is not his parliament, it having been
elected prior to bis succession, and apart
from any political prejudice, he wishes to
feel that the House of Commons has been
elected by the people, under his rule,
according to all precedent. So strongly
has this report gained ground that the
party organizations are already taking
steps tentatively to select candidates for
the various seats, though even the highest
officials seem to have no definite idea OF
how the struggle between the premier and
the new sovereign will eventuate.

ARMED MEN IN THE COAL FIELDS.
Report From West Virginia Shows That
MANY Guns Are In Evidence.

BLUEFIELD, W. VA, June 16.-There
are not as many men at work on the Flat
Top coal region today as on Saturday.
Several parties of hundred and fifty to
two hundred strikers paraded the field
armed with Winchesters and great many
shots were exchanged between them and
the guards at the mines. At the Buckeye
operation party of a hundred strikers,
most of them armed, prevented the men
from going to work. Thirty.eight armed
strikers were met by guards on Coaldale
moTntaiu as they were crossing Elkhorn
tunnel. The rifles were taken away from
them and stored at Coadale. This was
accomplished through the assistance of an
agiiator At the Tug River operation in
the Tug River district, last night, an effort
was made by thirty strikers to take
possession of the mines. A number of
shots were exchanged by strikers and
guards. The strikers were finally driven
of. At Norton on the lower Clinch
Valley district, mines are working with
one-fourth their regular force. The
mining companies are calling on the
sherifs of the different counties for
protection.
Saturday night the operators were very
sanguine as to the outlook for the coming
of Monday morning, claiming more than
two-thirds of the men would be at work,
but tonight admit that the situation has
grown serious, and that they are at loss
to know what to expect.
