PENNSYLVANIA COAL STRIKE.
Leaders Acknowledge that Indications
Point to Long Struggle.

Much Importance is attached to the
calls Gen. Goblin receives from coal mine
operators, who spend hours with the gen
eral in going over the strike situation.
After having met number of operators
Gen. Goblin said that he does not see
any signs Of a settlement
In fact he states that all indications
point more definitely to a prolongation of
the strike now than they did when he
first reached Shenandoah, Pa. He keeps
in touch with the strikers, as we'll as the
operators, and may be seen daily riding
over the hills with members of his staff.
Along the road he frequently holds con-
versations with miners, all of whom dis
play a friendly feeling toward him per-
sonally.
There is no i'll feeling in Shenandoah
against the soldiers and the military has
become so popular that movement has
been set afoot to start company in that
town.
Senator Hanna in Buffalo has admitted
that all hope of persuading the anthra-
cite coal operators to arbitrate with the
strikers has been abandoned. II have
exhausted all my efforts" said Senator
Hanna. Il have done all in my power
and can do no more. l will make no fur
Their attempts, for it would be useless"
He declared there was no chance Of or
bitration so long as only one side, the
miners, were willing to arbitrate. He
gave it as his opinion that the miners will
not give in as long as they are able to
fight.
st will not be a short fight" said he.
'It will be prolonged and such prolonga-
the miners and the women and children
dependent on them, but it will have its
effect on the American people. The long
er this struggle continues the greater will
be the increase in the price of coal"
President Roosevelt will be asked to
action to end the coal strike. This was
decided at meeting in New York Of the
Central Federation Union, representing
100000 workingmen.
Russell Sage explained how ]. Pier
pont Morgan could end the coal strike.
Mr. Morgan" said Mr.. Sage, sis the
greatest man in the financial world Of
this country. No one can deny this, and
it is through this fact alone that he can
bring an end to the coal strike. His in
fuence is so great that all that it is
necessary for him to do is to speak, de-
clare his mind on the subject and if it
favors a termination Of the strike it
would not be long before the miners
would resume work"

Mr.. ZiegIer Has Another Party in the
Arctic Circle.
The north pole is yet to be made to
give up it's secrets by an expedition Of
which William Ziegler is the hacker and
which is now in Franz Josef Land, but
the leader of that expedition is not Evelyn
B. Baldwin. Mr. Ziegler in New York
stated that, while Baldwin had not been
supplanted, he had left behind him in the
arctic region on the Frithjof an expedi-
ton which has received instructions to
proceed without the former leader.
This expedition sailed on July l for
Camp Ziegler, Alger Island, Franz Josef
Land, with William S. Champ, Mr.. Zieg-
ler's former secretary and confidential
adviser, on board. Mr.. Champ has in
structions to leave the expedition at Camp
Ziegler and take the Frithjof back to

ENEMY'S SHIPS TAKEN.
Mimic Naval War Ends with Surren-
der of Pi11sbury's Squadron.


The mimic naval war on the New Eng
land coast ended Sunday morning with
the capture of Pillsbury's white squad
ron off Magnolia, Mass, by Rear Ad-
miral Higginson's feet. Pillsbury was
attempting to steal into Salem harbor
when his vessels were sighted by Daniel
Fl. Staehle, the signal boy of the flagship
Kearsarge, and soon the defending bat
tleships were racing to intercept the
enemy" The attacking ships were cor
nered and Pillsbury was forced to sur
render.
1t was daybreak when the signal boy
saw Pillsbury's ships steaming in the di-
rection of Salem. The Kearsarge, with
it's consorts, the Alabama and the Mas
sachusetts, lying near by, was anchored
close in to Thatcher's Island and less
than three miles off Rockport.
Pillsbury was heading in northeast
and was about fifteen miles to the south
ward of the Kearsarge Staehle knew
the enemy's ships and gave the alarm i'm
mediately. In ten minutes the Kear-
sarge, the Alabama and the Massachu-
sets had anchors up and were headed
for the hostile squadron, going at a clip
ping rate. The big flagship got up a
u4Leeu-huOt Bpeeu NlLulu u lew SeCOlluS
after it was started. Close behind came
the Alabama and Massachusetts.
Commander Pillsbury saw the game
was up and stopped his engines to wait
for his opponents to draw near. 1t was
4:20 o'clock when the white squadron
was sighted. At o'clock the crews of
the blue were summoned to quarters. At
$50 Rear Admiral Higginson called on
Pillsbury to surrender. Five minutes
later the commander of the squadron
gracefully complied, sending up flag sig
nal to that effect.
Then the blue squadron hove to and
Commander Pillsbury came aboard the
Kearsarge, where he and Rear Admiral
Higginson said pleasant things to each
other. When this was over the Kear-
sarge, the Alabama and the Massachu
setts went back to Rockport to await
the reassembling Of the entire fleet, dis
patch boats being sent out in the mean
time to gather in the guard and picket
vessels strung out along the coast be-
tween Portland and Cane Cod.

TO FRAME OHIO LAWS.
Special Session of the Legislature Is
Called to Order.

The Ohio Legislature convened at 3
p. III. Monday in extraordinary session
at Columbus, to enact laws for the gov
eminent Of municipalities and to restore
lost jurisdiction to the Supreme Court,
these matters having been clouded by
the action of that court early in the sum-
mer.
Each branch Of the General Assem-
bly, was called to order promptly, and
after roll call the Governors message,
accompanied by a municipal code bill
prepared under the direction Of the chief
executive, was received. Following this
resolutions were offered on the death of
William Bell, Jr., former Secretary OF
State and at the time of his death a mem
Der of the House. Adjournment was
then taken. In his message Gov. Nash
first called attention to the act passed
last May depriying the Supreme Court
of nearly all the Appellate jurisdiction
formerly possessed by the court. The
repeal of the act is recommended.
Continuing, the message says: Dur
ing the last days of June the Supreme
Court of the State handed down several
decisions, which practically deprive our
municipal governments of all government.

think would be a model municipal gov

the circumstances. The task must be lp-
preached with spirit of give and take,

George E. Roberts, director of the
mint, has issued his final estimate of the
production of gold and silver in the
United States during the calendar year
1901. Mr.. Roberts statement shows
that during the year the United States
produced 3,SO5,500 ounces of gold, val
ued at $7S666, 700, a decrease of $504,-
800, or O.636 per cent, as compared with
the yield of 1900.
Ten of the nineteen States and terri
tories yielding gold showed an increased
production, California leading with ST.
O75, 200, an increase due entirely to the
normal development of the mining indus
try.
Nevada showed the material gain of
1857 900, which came largely from the
newly discovered camp of Tonapah, in
Nye County, although nearly every coun-
ty in the State increased it's production.
South Dakota also made a gain of $301,-
900; Idaho, $144, 600, and Oregon, $123,
400.
Alaska Shows n Decrease.
The greatest decrease, amounting to
81, 2S5, 800, was in Alaska. This was due
to the lateness of the season, which de-
layed the opening of the placers, and to
litigation, which interfered with the de-
velopment of the industry. Colorado d.
minished $1,135,900, a fact explained by
the decline in the grade of ores extract
ed, the tonnage having increased.
The silver yield for 1901 amounted to
55,214, 900 ounces, of the commercial
value of $50, 1913, 400, which was 2,433,
600 ounces, or 5 per cent, less than it
was in 1900. The greatest gain-1, 493,-
600 ounces-was in Utah, almost all Of
which came from the Park City district.
Total Value Is Less.
The total value of the precious metals
produced by the United States in 1901
amounted to Sill 795, 100, which was ST.
964, 100, or 2 per cent, less than the yield
for 1900. The following statement shows
the approximate distribution by produc-
ing States and territories of the product
of gold and silver in the United States
for the calendar year 1901

The White River EXtenSlon.

The Harrison Times says: The latest accurate information as to the operation of the Mo. Pa cific's White River extension from Batesville in this direction indicates that another trial sur- vey will be made of the Crooked creek route with a view to in cluding Yellville, the Sugar Or chard country, and perhaps Har- rison, in the points touched. Positive location of the route has only been made as far as Buffalo City, back of which point some 500 mon are engaged in the con- struction work.
 According to the map issued with the map folder of the Iron Mountain railway the red line in- dication this line under con- struction reaches from Cushman, Ark. to Carthage, Mo. It crosses White River at Lake's Ferry, crosses through North Marion into North Boone, county, near Dodd City and Lead Hill, and turns to the northward into Fancy county, Missouri. Should the company decide to take the route to the southward it will open an entirely different territory from that considered above, but in either event it will tap good zinc regions from start to finish.
