national platform upon which all fac
uons can agree ad the nomination OF
a candidate who will draw to himself
the support not only OF all men claim
ing to be democrats, but of that large
element of independent voters wnose
support is essential to success.
1t is noaceable fact that the letter
of Mr. Cleveland which appeared re,
Gently in the New York World, gave
rise to less criticism than any previ-
Gus utterance Of the ex-president since
he went out OF office. Whether this
is due to a less aggressive tone on tie
part OF Mr. Cleveland or to the general
desire on the part of democrats ia
lind common meeting ground, it may
be little difficult to determine, but it
is significant fact that the last
Cleveland utterance was better recelv-
ed tnan others from the same sources.
fhis has had the effect OF giving the
promoters OF this new harmony move-
ment real hopes of success.
Aid Of Southern Leaders Desired
While this movement starts in the
etst, it is the hope of the men back
Of it TO secure the Endorsement and
cooperation OF taose southern demo-
Gratis who are really influential in the
councils OF their party. 10 that end
they will endeavor to avoid the mis-.
take OF tying to those men VINO were
as the special followers Of
Mr.. Cleveland in the night which was
responsible for the disruption of the
party in 1S94-95-96. They recognize
hat it would be very easy by rewving

Ill the work which has been so far
toward harmonious ac-

GOAL PASSERS STRIKE
FOR INCREASE IN WAGES
Pennsylvania Railroad Employees Stop
Work When They Are Refused
a Raise

Coal passers at the coal chute on the
Pennsylvania railroad, near the Front
street crossing, where the engines are
supplied with coal, went on a strike
yesterday.
There were ten Of them. There has
been dissatisfaction for some time at
the wages they received. The men
claimed they did not receive a propor-
tionate amount for the work they did,
compared with other railroad labOrers.
They have been receiving 1914 cents
per hour. but demanded IA cents.
In a body they went to see the super
intendent yesterday afternoon. He re-
fused to grant the increase. The men
did not return to work, and for a time
no coal could be gotten on the engines.
Several section men were pressed
into service but they knew practically
nothing about the work. and much dc
lay was the result.
Last night cne Of the coal carriers
fell down the elevator shaft, causing
another delay.

Bloody Clothes Shown
MOON IN EARTH'S SHADOW
The Eclipse Was Clearly Visible Al
though Clouds We're in Sky

"a total eclipse of the moon took place
early this morning, and those who sat
up to witness the unusual sight were
treated to a remarkably interesting as
Economical phenomenon. Although
many clouds drifted about the heavens,
they were not compact enough to seri-
ousiy interfere with a good view Of the
gradual yelling Of the moon by the
earth's shadow, which began to creep
over the face of the moon at 11.17
o'clock last night.
At 11.45 the shadow half obscured
the moon, and few minutes after mid
night all that was visible was a thin,
bright streak which resembled a new
moon.
At 1926 the last signs Of the moons
face disappeared. and all that could be
seen was an indistinct circle which
marked the outline of the orb. Finally
that, too. vanished.
The totality Of the eclipse ended
shortly before 2 O'Clock this morning,
and at $50 the moon was again entire
ly clear of shadow.

They say they know what they ara

business and in 1872 ID. A. Johnson a
brother of johnson, senior brought
back 100000 OF treasure gold from the
sunken ship Golden Gate from which
the firm now intends TO try and take
] over half a million In gold.
Went Down Years Ago
The Golden Gate was sunk or the
Mexican coast forty years age, while on
a voyage from San Francisco to Pan
anna On board was a cargo worth
S2,OOO,0OO, the most OF which was in
gold coin.
Several vain attempts were made to
float the vessel. Finally Johnson.
who was a young man, heard OF tho
wreck and after making an inspection
said he would recover part Of the
cargo
As the vessel lay In Mexican waters
it was necessary to secure a grant from
the Mexican government before any
thing could be done. This was secured
and In 1872 Johnson went 90 work.
Machinery constructed I'M The United
States was taken there and after hard
work 100000 in gold was recovered.
The ship was so deeply imbedded In the
sand and the work so perilous that the
project was abandoned after the

The Johnsons still have the agree
ment with Mexico and no other indi-
vidual or firm can touch the wreck Of
the Golden Gate. II is now estimated
that the vessel Is buried in sand from
eight to twelve feet deep. and Is un-
der from fifteen to eighteen feet Of

wreck continually. This is what make 8

Won a Great Victory.

While the great third party" is sat

coal supply, it cannot be truly said
there is great rejoicing among the
striking mine workers at this time
over the result. They admit the near
ending of the long idleness is extreme
'ly satisfactory to them and that they
have won a great victory in gaining
arbitration, but they feel that the
great reward in putting up such a stub
born struggle is still to come in the
award of the arbitration commission.
The citizens of the entire region, how
ever are much elated that the strife
is almost over. because business in the
coal fields has been practically para
