The Situation in Indiana Fields Reviewed.

SO SIGN OF SETTLING THE STRIKE.

Bloek and Hltnuiloona Miner. Jointly Interested and Determined to Win •. —The Operator. Reru.e to Yield.

NO END IN SIGHT.

TENNE HAUTE, Ind., Dec. 12.—The strike iu the Indiana coal mines is reaching the interesting point when both sides are taking a second hold for the tug of war. The strike began more than a month ago, but for two or three it was not formally indorsed by the Rational organization of United Mine Workers. It is the arst strike in

years in this state in which both 10 block coal and bituminous coal miners were engaged.

Origin of the Strike.

The Indiana block coal field is entirely confined to the limits of Clay county, which adjoins this county on the east. The coal is a superior fuel to what is known as bituminous, which is mined in Indiana from 50 miles north of here through the Wabash valley to Vincennes and on south to Evansville. There is also a large output to the east of the valley, but not further than a line running due south from Indianapolis. Nearly all this coal is sold according to the Chicago market price.

Until four years ago there had been a recognized difference of 15 cents in the price for mining the two kinds of coal, the block coal miners receiving the higher price. The difference in selling price at retail of the two kinds was three times that amount. Three years ago ut the federation meeting at Columbus, O., miners and operators agreed upon a scale of wages for several states, but the bituminous operators of Indiana withdrew without ratifying the agreement. Then followed the strike of the block coal miners against a reduction of wages. The bituminous operators continued paying the old price and there ensued quarrel in the Operators' State association, the block operators dropping out. The bituminous coal took the place of the block in many instances during the long strike.

When the yearly' scale was to be signed last Slay the block miners made another effort to secuie an increase of wages, but failed. The bituminous cjen renewed their contract at 70 cents, the block coal schedule being 75. Miners never like to strike in the. spring or summer. So the miners' worked through the summer, contemplating a raise November 1 in accordanpe with the old-time sliding scale that fixed a higher rate for the winter six months of the contract year.

Block Minr™ .Strike for a KaUe. The block men asked for 86 cent6. They were refused. They struck and tten appealed to the bituminous men to join them. The state officers of the United Mine Workers ordered the men out without first asking for the Columbus scale of 75 cents. They admit that there was not any- I thing fair in doi'ug this, but that the exigencies of the situation forced them to do so. The block men had said to the bitr.ininous miners: "If you

insist on the old ii.Minet.iun of at least 10 cents difference, by which the bituminous miner would receive no more than 0") cents.-'

TIIOURAUCI. of Id]« Mine™.

This was the main cause of the •tfike. About 7,000 miners went out. About 1,000 are at work at the Columbus scale, the latter in the bituminous njines. More than a thousand have left the state, many going to Texas, but all expecting to come back soon. The strike beiug inaugurated in such an informal manner no adequate provision had been made for bestowing the benefits of a relief fund, but the national 'organization is beginning to send in money, small at first, with the promise of larger amounts. The operators nve determined to fl^tt it out

No Sl£t) of Clvlnff lip.

It has been persistently reported in the special dispatches originating in Brazil during the lost week tliat the block coal miners were gradually returning to work and that the spinal column of the strike had been snapped in twuin. As a matter of truth the situation in the block coal region, carefully canvassed, docs not only fail to warrant such a report, but fully refutes it- If the lesson taught by inquiry into the question—inquiry whose sole aim was to ascertain the facts—may be reckoned as reliable, these men are firmer and more confident to-day than when the edict first went forth declaring the conflict on.

No Imw Shall lie Violated. •, "We shall violate no law," said Samuel Anderson, the veteran miner of Knightsville. "We profess to be law-abiding citizens and to be loyal to our state. In the prolonged struggle of 18ii9 we maintained peace, keeping within the bounds of decency and honor, and it is probable we shall not do less this time, if the operators saw us involved in turmoil and riot they would be in every respect well pleased, but those are fatal contingencies which we shall carefully avoid. Public sympathy never drifted in the same channel with outlawry."

Hut l'ciw "Ulacklrga."

Within a strip of country 25 miles long and 4 miles wide, extending from Carbon, Perth and Lodi oh the south, and from Harmony on the east to Urazil on the west, are comprised all the block coal mines in Indiana. When the industry is active 2,500 miners are employed in this small area of ground. Many of them have left since the strike was begun, but of the great numbei remaining a liberal estimate places the maximum "blackleg" list at ten. It will be seen, therefore, that cnougi)

are not working to in any degree affect the strike,, The leading miners .ays tlia* mining ig so insignificant ttu.t V.iey do not consider it seriously ftt all. Of the 600 men in Knightsville and immediate vicinity not one is on the "blackleg" list, while at Harmony, a lew steps further east, only two persons are working out of a possible 250 or 800. Along the line and within a few miles of the Vftndalia road are thirteen coal shafts, .employing 1,500 men, or within 1,000 of the total number of block miners in the state. Among all these are found not more than sixty "blacklegs," some of whom have resumed work perforce of inexorable circumstances, but the larger proportion of whom are said to be in the pits principally to try to demoralize the strllr'ers.

Would Continue the Strike Indefinitely. As to the question which has recently become prominent in connection with the matter being discussed, and which implies a doubt as to what th# popular rote of the miners on continuing or discontinuing the strike would be, efforts were made to ascertain the prevailing impression among miners and other citizens of Clay county, with the result that almost universally was encountered the single idea that 95 per cent, of the men at the least would cast their ballots for the maintenance of the struggle indefinitely. It is everywhere recognized, however, that the whole question hinges upon the relief that may be received. Said an old miner: "Wc are a unit In the determination to win thlB strike, and nothing short of the failure oi the food supply can defeat'us. Upon the necessities of subsistence are, of course, dependent. This strike Is a repf (Itton of the seven months' strike two years ago. It that had succeeded the present one would nevei have occurred, and so the present one will go on and until we arc brought up on the Interstate stale to the notch where we belong. There can be no final settlement or the question until the {Indiana operators pay us about what other miners earn In this competitive Held. Outside lorcps will consolidate to bring us up as long as we need bringing up."

No Hope of Settlement In Sight. J. Smith Tnlley, president of the State Association of Bituminous Opera* tors, was asked for his opinion in rffi gard to the strike outlook. lie stated that he had never entertained much faith in the reports of weakening among the strikers, and felt that no hope of a settlement wis in sight

Charged to Stokers.

Early Friday morning the fanhouse at the Pratt mine was blown up with dynamite, presumably by striking miners who had taken offense because of the fact that several men were working for less than the scale, and Mr. Talley is in 1 frazil for the purpose of securing machinery to replace that damaged, lie said the damage would amount to between 878,000 and §100,000,

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

An Expre.. Train KlUa Two Women and a Child tn Chicago Suburb. CHICAGO, Dec. 12.—Mrs. Mary Witt, Mrs. Mary Ciotschalk and an infant daughter of the latter were run over and instantly killed on the Illinois Central tracks at Homewood by the Cincinnati fast express of the Big Four road Friday evening. Homewood is a suburb station on the Illinois Central road 25 miles south of Chicago.

The women, with their children, started across the tracks at the crossing when the south-bound freight came along. The engineer whistled and the women in their fright ran back on the north-bound track and were caught by the Cincinnati fast express. Little Augusta Witt was more active than her mother and cleared the track before the train reached the crossing. As the express shot past the cliilii turned and to her horror saw her mother and -Mrs. Gotschallc thrown with terrible force full HO feet to the side of the track. Neither of the women Were badly crushed, but death must lu.ve been instantaneous, for they were dead before Engineer Ames and Conductor Andregg of the fast express reached them. The baby's head was crushed. The women were on their way home from marketing. They did not see the express coming from the south and the noise gf the freight drowned the signal whistle of the express engine. As soon as Engineer Ames saw the women he reversed his engine, but the train was going at such a rate of speed that it was impossible to stop in time to save their lives.

CHILIS ANSWER.

What Is Thought of President Harrison's MoBsago.

PRESIDENT MONTT MAKES REPLY.

He Sftyx HU Country llan None bat Friendly Feelings for the United States —The l!nltiuiore Affair Will Be

V" Settled Satisfactorily.,

UNCLK SAM AND CHILI.

VAI.PAKAISO, Dec. 12. President Jorge Montt has sent the Chilian ministers in the United States and Europe a reply to President Harrison's message to the congress of the United States in relation to the assault on the sailors who landed from the cruiser Baltimore, lie declares that the Chilian authorities have never attempted in the slightest particular to evade any responsibility for which the country may be justly held, but he insists that the proper and ordinary forms of Chilian procedure must be observed.

Justice Will Done.

President Montt consented to be interviewed relative to Mr. Harrison's 'message, which is regarded by many i~ prominent people in Chili as being in-', tended to prepare the American people for a hostile movement against this country. President Montt said that he was fully convinced that in the end the

American people would judge th^ Baltlmorc affair without bias. TlierQ $raa siio doubt in his mind that the cop£ress 'of, the United States would act ,{JIth fairness in the,matter, and that justice would be done by the governments of both the United States and Chili.

Think* Uncle Sam Will Walt. "The closing sentences of Mr. Harrison's message," said President Montt, "show that he will wait the conclusion of the investigation now being made before taking aggressive action. So believing. 1 have not the slightest idea of an.v trouble between the two countries. \\V are desirous of cultivating amicable relations with all countries, and have no desire for any difficulty with the United States."

Minister Kgitn's Caac.

Though Mr. Harrison says in his message that no demand for the recall of Minister lOgan has been made by Chili this looks' like a direct slap at tlio American representative. if Mr. ICgan f.!n,n!d he recalled by the United States government no objection would be made by the Chilian authorities, but the initiative will not be made here, that is assured.

Think the Message 1H tiianeil. There is no doubt that the Chilian government is highly indignant that President Harrison relied, in making the statement in his message concerning the Baltimore, upon the ex parte testimony of the officers and men on board the cruiser. Chilians think he should have waited for the full result of the trial before making the charge to the world that their government has attempted to evade its responsibilities. The fact that Secretary Matta ordered the intcndcutc at Valparaiso to make an investigation into the killing of Seaman Itiggin ten days before the official notification from Minister Kgan was received shows, they contend, that no such evasion was intended.

The linctUh Idea of It.

LONDON, Dee. 12.—The Times correspondent at Valparaiso says: "President IlnrrHson's message Is certain to produce a gainful Impression. Tbu small American colony heru Is highly Indignant at the action ot the Amcrlcun representatives, which tliey declare to be duo to personnl motives, gambling tn cxchnngc, etc. Nobody liud the slightest idea that such misrepresentations as thoAc sent to America by wholesale at the end of October could have been transmitted, much less indorsed, by President Harrison. It is hoped that congress will demand all of the documents, when the real trnth will come out, and a messago of apology from President Harrison a

HE THREW THE II0MI1.

BOSTON, Dec. 12.—Henry L. Xorcross, of Sargent avenue, Somerville, a note broker doing business at 12 Pearl street, has not been seen at his office since the middle of last week, and the other occupants of the house say he was killed in a railway accident about that time.

Identified by Kits of Clothing. New York detectives were in town Friday trying to identify the missing man as the mysterious bomb thrower in llussell Sage's office last Friday. The detectives brought with them a trousers button and portions of the ^.trousers worn by the bomb thrower as well as piece of his coat and portions of his underclothing. According to a lpcal •paper these werv taken to the ••JJorcross residence and the undercloth•ing positively identilied by Mrs. Noreritf^lj.aj^"6^ongiug to her husband. On tk«^)*6«r.s of the dead man were buttpwbearing the print "Brooks, Tailor,

Bostoffi*" .... I'orriilKirnteil by Ills Tailor. Further investigation leaves scarcely any room for doubt tlint the bombthrower and Henry Ij. Norcross are identical. 11 is father, who was seen, believes that such is the fact. The identification of the clothing hns been made complete by the discovery that the number upon the portion of Ihe trousers worn by the bombthrower and brought here from New York corresponds exactly with the number against the. name of Norcross on the books of lirooks, the Washington street tailor, who made suit of clothes for Norcross last October. Mr. Norcross, Sr., says that his son left home the day preceding the New York affair, staling that li« was going on a business trip, first to Providence, thence to Hartford, New Haven, Worcester and Fitchhurg. Since then he has not been seen by the members ol his family. ll« Wanted Wealth.

Henry 1*. Norcross, who certainly has not been seen at his place of business aud hus uot been home in Somerville since before the day, a week ago, on which the life of Russell Sage was threatened, is about 28 years of age. Though coming from a well-eonnected family he was a poor boy, and his sole ambition, it is said, .was to yet rich. On this subject he was a thorough crank, and never ceased talking to hia friends about his numerous schemes. He was naturally of a dissatisfied, morose temperament.

Norcross, who is now supposed to have thrown the dynamite bomb in Russell Sage's office, came to this city Friday night At a late hour Mr. Howes saw the head of the dynamiter and stated that in his opinion there was little or no question that it was that of Norcross.
