COAL STRIKE
|NAUGURATED
II Is Also Proposed to Call Out the Mine En-
ginssrs, Flrsmsn and Dump
Runners.
WOULD CAUSE GREAT LOSS
Il Would Endanger fhs Safety Of the Mines and VIII
Meet Much Opposition from the More Conservative
United Mine Workers Who Fear the Order
Would Prove Boomerang

| Hazleton, Pa; lty 4J.-The great
coal strike, inaugurated permanently
last evening, is nov h, fu swi.sg. There
were no developments previous to the
reassembling Of the convention in Sc
cret session shortly after o'clock this
morning From gossip of delegates, it
Is expected that the proposition to call
out the mine engineers, firemen and
pump runners, thus epdangering the
safety of the Mines will meet with
opposition, as did the motion to make
the strike permanent. Those who advo-
Gated continued suspension of work are
as rule, in favor of calling out these
men. They argue that the more the
mine owners are inconvenienced and
harrassed, the sooner they will weaken
and grant the men some slight conces-
sions. The more conservative mine
workers fear that to call out the men
protecting the mines will be a boomer
ang that might prove exteremly costly
to the miners.
The convention adjourned sine die at
Has. The delegates voted to leave the
question of calling optsthes engineers,
firemen and, pump rhnners to the dis
trict officers. Reports from all parts Of
the region show that everything is
quiet and the men determined to stand
by the strike order. The local unions
throughout the regions are preparing
Fon
for the relief of members. The coal
companies continue to make prepara-
tions for long strike. Many indus
trial establishments are experiencing
difficulty in getting coal.
Steps were taken by the convention
to involve I'M the strike all bituminous
and anthracite coal miners in the Unit |
ed States. After adjournment, Presi- |
dent Mitchell issued the following
statement: cat this mornings session |
the convention petitioned the national
officers to issue call for national
convention Of all miners employed in
the United States, for the purpose Of
considering the situation in the anthra-
cite field. If the desire Of the anthra-
cite miners is carried into effect, nat
iona1 suspension of coal mining will be |
Mitchell said if the general strike did |
take place, 1t would involve altogether |
$4,000 men who are employed in and |
about coal mines in the United States. |
1000 MEN LAID OFF.
Buffalo, N. Y. May 16.-About 1000 |

BLOCKADE PROCLAMATIONs.
Venezuelan Ports Closed to the COM
merce of the World.

LONDON, Dec. 20.-The official procla-
nation of the blockade of Venezuelan
ports was gazetted this morning and be-
comes effective to-day. The text of the
proclamation follows:
ut is hereby notified that the United
States or Venezuela, having failed to COM
ply with the demands OF his Majesty :
government, a blockade by his Majesty S
naval forces of the ports of Laguayra,
Carenero, Guanta, Cumana and Carupano
and the mouths of the Orinoco is declared,
and such blockade will be effectively main
tanned from and after Dec. 20, subject to
the allowance of the following days of
grace: For vessels sailing before the date
of this notification from West Indian ports
and ports ON the east coast of the Con-
tinent of America; ten days for steamers
and twenty days for sailing vessels. From
and forty days for sailing vessels. For
vessels lying in the ports now declared to
be Decentralization days. Vessels which
attempt the blockade will render them
selves liable to all measures authorized by
the law of nations, and by the respective
treaties between his Majesty and the
different neutral powers.
The Foreign Office says the blockade of
the Venezuelan coast will not be relaxed
until the powers enforcing their claims
agree on a method for the arbitration of
their respective cases and Venezuela shows
a disposition to act sincerely. Stress is
laid on the difficulty in view of the diver
sity of the claims in deciding on a method
of presentation, and on the prolixity of the
negotiations which will be involved before
a settlement is in sight. 1t is not definitely
decided whether separate cases can be en-
bodied in one document, should the pro-
jected arbitration take definite shape.

TRIAL OF CHARLES CHEONG.
Naturalized Chinese Who Got In
Trouble Through a Love Affair.

j. NJ. Lafollette, assistant United States
attorney for the district of Indiana, re-
turned from Evansville yesterday, where
he was present at the trial of Charles
Cheong, a Chinese. who was alleged to be
living in this country without proper regis
tration papers. under the Chinese exclusion
act Mr. Lafollette said the case was an
interesting one and Cheong might have
been deported back to China but for the
influence of ministers, Sunday school teach
ers and other representative citizens Of
Evansville who interested themselves in
Cheong's behalf.
Cheong came to this country about ten
years ago and has lived in Evansville about
three years. He claimed TO have received
papers admitting him TO the United States
on arriving at San Francisco. He has be-
come thoroughly Americanized and has
given up Chinese religion and customs. He
even cut off his queue and now combs his
hair like American. He is member of
the Baptist Church at Evansville and many
ministers were at his trial.
Cheong became infatuated with a Jewess
living at Evansville and purchased her
many presents, among them piano. The
young woman declined after awhile to re-
ceive his attentions any longer and he tried
to make her father return to him the money
he had spent for presents for the girl. 1t
Is claimed that he was then reported to
the government as living in this country
without proper papers, and he was tried on
Friday of last week. His attorneys argued
that should Cheong be deported he would
probably be killed by his fellow-country-
men for having discarded the customs and
cutting off his queue. He was ordered
discharged and certified copy of the
order will serve him against further trou-
BILE.
1t came out in the trial that Cheong had
been aturalized and had voted at elections
at Evansville.
