MANY ARE JLISL'I.KASKIL.

foi.rsiBus, 0., Juno 18.—It is doubt* ful if the alleged settlement of the coal miners' strike is carried out In the Hocking valley. Advices from Nelson ville, Straitsvllle, Gloucester, Long-f-treth, Muclitol, Corning, Carbon II11] and other points lire to the effect that tho strikers refuse absolutely to return to work ut tho CO-cout rate. A mass convention held at Gloucester voiced the general sentiment in the passage of a resolution pledging- 8,000 miners in the district comprising the counties of Athens, Perry, Hooking and Muskingum to stand firmly for a 70-eent rate and no compromise whatever.

Committer rrejmrct* a Statement.

The members of tho national executive board held a meoting here Tuesday and prepared tv circular letter to bo sent to the miners in Ohio, western Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois. 1 he letter is quite voluminous, and enters into the history of the compromise and tho reasons therefor. Tho board calls attention first to the fact that at the Cleveland convention the miners decided to hold no more conventions, but to leave the future policy of the strike and tho matter of the compromise wholly in tho hands of the board and tho district president. An account of tho meeting of the executive board and district presidents in this city last week, at which time it was agreed to effect a settlement on the basis of a compromise, is given.

The board then recites the advantages which the miners have gained through the agreement adopted by the joint conference. In the first place, thev have succeeded In doing away with the ironclad agreements which have previously existed in tho Illinois und Pittsburgh districts, and which have been a great detriment to tho Interests of the miners and the organization iu those fields. They have also remedied a crying evil in cor tain sections in Ohio growing out of tho truck-storo system. At these places scrip has been the only circulating medium among the miners and they have thus been prevented from paying dues and becoming members of any organization. Under the agreement It is pro vided that at such places the balances due to miners at tho end of every two weeks shall be paid in cash Instead of scrip.

The board also calls attention to the fact that the miners have violated the injunction of the national officers not to destroy or molest property, but on the contrary have resorted to acts of lawlessness which have resulted in calling out the national guard in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. The seriousness of the situation alone, thr say, was justification for a settlement on any reasonable basis of advantage to the miners. l'resldent Mrltride Talks.

At this time the re.sultof the attitude of the miners cannot be predicted President Mcliride talked freely about the situation, lie said while the settlement was not all lie could wish. It was the best the miners could hope for under the circumstances. They were still the victors of the contest. Quoth he: "The miners were starving, indus tries were paralyzed and thousands of fellow workmen were being dally thrown out of employment by reason of the coal famine, while tho interference with property rights, which, wherever done, was blamed on miners, was losing public sympathy for us." He thought the settlement would be at once ratified all over the district-

President MclJride said the miners' officials had decided the agreement should not go Into effect until next Monday, though some operators deBired to resume this week. He thought inasmuch as the members of the miners' committee had received hundreds of telegrams from their constituents, stating that under no circumstances would the rank and file of tho miners consent to a compromise, and the further fact that in many places the miners had been wrought up to a high pitch and tension, it would bo uuwise for any operator to attempt to resume operations until the terms of settlement had been fully explained to the miners.

The proviso relative to the action to be taken If any operators in the district represented fail to pay the price agreed, upon means that the strike is to be continued against such operators. The miners who go to work will contribute to a strike fund for their support. Several of the miners' officials express grave doubts as to whether the miners in some localities will aocept the new scale. President Moliride says if the miners had remained law-abiding they certainly would have gained everything they struck for.

The Settlement ltepudlated.

SPUINGF1EI.D, 111., June 13.—State President Crawford said he had received no official information as to the announced agreement, but If the report as published is correct the Springfield and southern Illinois miners will not accept it. The only communication President Crawford received from national headquarters was instructions to eall a convention of the miners of districts 4, 5 and (S, and he immediately issued a call for the convention to meet in this city Saturday.

The Settlement Repudiated. STHEATOH, 111., June 13.—The Colum­

bus settlemout is a disappointment to the miners here, it being a cut below last year's prices of 7i cents a ton in summer and 10 cents a ton in the wintor mouths. There has been no official

news from miners' headquarters yet. When it is received a mass-meeting will be held to consider tho situation. A loading operator gives It as his opinion that men will stay out until It is too late to make contracts, and that the entire northern Illinois coal fields will bo idle all summer at least.

MINONK, 111., June 18.—The Minonk miners at a meeting decided to stay out until snow flies rather than go to work at the reduced rates.

CENTRAI.IA, 111., June 18.—The miners held a meeting to discuss the compromise. It was determined to fix a rate of 02J cents, uniform winter and summer rate. This is OSi cents more than they were rooeiving before they went out, and the operators here declare they will not return them at better rates than they were receiving at the time the strike was declared, viz. 1 fid4.4 cents. The miners have nearly all signed the agreement with tho ieadors to hold out till they got the 02} oents. They struck out of sympathy for others.

Danville Men Will Stay Oul. DANVII.J.E, 111., June 13.—President

Dietson, of the United Mine Workers of the Danville field, says: "Our demands were made at East St. Louis and have not been accepted. Until they ure we will stay out." Mr. Shousc, delegate to East .St. Louis, said in his opinion tho strike In the Danville field would not be settled this summer. The coal operators here, however, speak hopefully of the situation and think the backbone of the strike lias been broken.

Indiana Miners Displeased.

TEITITE HAUTE, lnd., June 18.—The Indiana bituminous coal miners are determined not to go to work at the UO cents compromise. They use strong terms when they sponk of tho action of their official representatives in the conference. The operators do not expect all the men to return to work next Monday, but believe they will all be at work a week or ten days later, especially after they receive the statement which John Mcliride will send to them.

WASHINGTON, lnd., June 13.—The coal miners of this vicinity dislike the Columbus compromise, as it reduces the rate paid for mined coal 10 edition the ton. The miners of this section had 110 grievance. No coal has been mined hereabouts since the Cannellburg riot, but everything is quiet. There is somo suffering among the families of the miners for the necessities of life.

Stick Up for a Better Kate. PITTSBURGH, Pa., Juno 13.—News of

the settlement proposed at Columbus was not received with favor by a ma jority of the Fourth pool miners, and it is doubtful whether they will abid by the decision reached. The miners throughout the district are decided in their condemnation of the national offi eials because all the delegates to the Cleveland convention were instructed to hold out for the 70 oent rate and no compromise. At to-day's session the officials of the United-Workers' union will be directed to make an oxplana tion of the settlement in face of the charges made, and if the answer is unsatisfactory all the miners in the two valleos will withdraw from the organization and continue the strike for 79 cents.

Some Go to Work.

ROCK ISLAND, 111., June 18.—The miners of the Coal Valley Mining company at Cable have decided to return to work and operations are expected to be resumed at anjr time.

PF.OHIA, 111., June 13.—Newsam Bros', mine at Kingston started up Tuesday under the protection of a force of thirty deputy sheriffs armed with rifles. No resistance was offered and none is expected. Sholl Bros'. men have notified the company they will return to work at last year's scale, and the manager says the mine will resume work without an armed force. Both sides denounce the Columbus settlement.

FARMERSBUUG, lnd., June 18. It looks as though by Thursday night all the coal mines In Sullivan will be in operation. The miners at Farmersburg went to work Tuesday morning. Those at Shelburn arc: otill Idlo, but they will return to work. The mines at Alum Cave, Jackson Hill, Ilyemera, Star City and Curryville will I11 all probability be started within the next forty-eight hours.

I'OMKUOV. 0., June 13.—The news of the Columbus conference Is received here with approval by the miners, who stand ready to go to work at the scale formulated.

Tann Still Uneasy.

I'ANA, 111., June 18.—Scarcely had the militia left when disorderly demonstrations were made. These were quickly quelled. Tho settlement of the strike question in Ohio and Pennsylvania lias had no quieting effect here. The different mobs that have been camping around I'ana for several days have ooncentrated now on Pope's farijj, where a big meeting was held Tuesday and they decided to march through the business streets of the city. A committee was sent to ask permission of the mayor, but he refused them the privilege. They thereupon expressed their determination to march anyway. They telegraphed to Gov. Altgeld requesting protection. They state that they are going to maroh through the streets with the stars and stripes at their head. If they attempt it there certainly will bo trouble, for it will be considered a riotous demonstration by the authorities here. Fifty more guns have been received from Springfield.

Year Old."

A GREAT GATHERING.

CHICAGO, June 18.—The first quadrennial convention of the American Hallway union assembled at Fisher's hall, S3 East Lake street, at 10 a. in. Tuesday, and, a few minutes later, adjourned and repaired to larger quarters, I'lrieh's hall at North Clark and Kinzic street. It was in Fisher's hall that the organization was firBt formed, and the leaders felt at home when they came, within its doors. Less than a year ago tho first union was organized with 11 mere handful of men. To-day there are 422 flourishing, prosperous unions with a total membership of 124,070 in all the states and territories of the country.

The object ol the convention is to organize all railroad organizations under one management, which shall govern the entire working force of the roads. Switchmen, brakemen, firemen, engineers and conductors are all included.

President Deb* Speak*.

A perfect storm of applause burst forth when President Debs advanced, and it continued with increasing force for nearly five minutes. The delegates arose to a man and wildly waved hats, coats and handkerchiefs. At frequent intervals he was interrupted by the most demonstrative applause.

In the beginning IVesident Debs gave a brief history of the organization. called Into existence by conditions vindicating its necessity, and commented upon the rapid growth, which, he said, was without parallel in the history of labor organizations. "We appreciate the fact," continued President Debs, "that in binding an organization of railway employes it must, like a modern battleship, be built- for war. We have determined to build upon that plan."

Continuing Mr. Debs made reference to the financial aud business depression of the times which falls with crushing effect on labor. Referring to the strike of the miners he said it was for a principle and that the. purpose of the miners was as patriotic as ever prompted men to battle for honor and for home. Gratitude is 11 jewel and the American Railway union cannot afford to forget the assistance the miners gave it in the Gieat Northern strike. The time will come, if it is not here already, when the union will refuse to handle a pound of coal mined by nonunion men.

Discussed the Pullman Strike.

On the subject of the Pullman strike Mr. Debs said that Pullman, the town, like Pullman, the proprietor, had a national reputation not unlike that of Carnegie, l-'riek and Homestead enjoy, lie then reviewed the causes which led up to the strike and said: "The Pullman strike us un object lesson will. I doubt not. engine the attention of this convention. It Is a terrible Illustration of corporate Kreed and heartlesniiess and Pharisaical fraud, which for years have prevailed In this country, and which have made conditions In the presence of which the stoutest hearts take alarm."

After strongly advocating national ownership of railroads the president concluded his address by an earnest plea to further organization and closer union. At the end of the speech the members went wild. Every one was on his feet and cheer after cheer was given.

The remaining hour of the morning session was taken up with speeches by L. W. Rogers, editor of the Railway Times Director Sebring, Secretary Keliher and others.

Home Resolutions.

At the afternoon session several committees were appointed. A resolution was passed indorsing the action of the city council in passing the Sunday closing ordinance, und pledging the delegates not to patronize stores while in the city which worked ttieir help on Suuda3's. A resolution introduced by W. H. Sebring protesting against the passage of the bill now before congress providing for compulsory arbitration was passed.

History of tho Organization.

The American Railway union was organized in Chicago June 20, 1898. At that time there met Eugene V. Debs, George W. Howard, Sylvester Keliher, \V. H. Sebring, L.' \V. Rogers, James Hogan and two or three other old-time railroad men, with whom the idea of such organization originated. It was two months later that the first practical work was done. Since that time it has grown to its present membership.

During the ten months of its existence the organization has been called upon to settle twelve different disputes between railroad corporations and Its employes. In two cases, those of the Great Northern railroad and tho Northern Pacific Terminal company, it was necessary to order a strike in order to gain recognition, but in each of the twelve cases the organization came out victorious.

TNE SN.TAN'H I1I UIAI..

TANGIER, June 13.—The remains of tho late sultan of Morocco, Muley Hassan, have been sent, under military escort, to Rabat for burial. The succession of tho late sultan's younger son, Abdul Aziz, has been ae. cepted at Casabianca, but a hostile feeling prevails at Fez, where Muley Ismail, a brother of the deceased sultan, has been acting as the sultan's representative. Muley Ismail is a popular favorite and trouble is feared.

Conflicting reports are still in circulation in regard to the death of the late sultan of Morocco, and the general opinion seems to be that Sultan Abdul Aziz will have to defend his throne with the sword.

The Situation Serloun.

LONDON, June 13.—Serious complications have already arisen between France and England over the death of Muley Hassan, sultan of Morocco, and the two powers may beeome Involved in war, with the possibility of Spain being drawn into the quarrel.

Four French warships, under Admiral Le Bourgeois, have started for Tangier from Toulon, France. The Ironclads Magenta, Admiral Duperre and Alger, under Admiral Gadaud, have also been ordered to place themselves in readiness to sail for Morocco at the shortest notice. In addition the big Spanish cruiser Conde Venadito has already arrived at Tangier and Is anchored in the harbor. The news of the dispatch of a French fleet to Morocco and of the preparations in France to reinforce it has caused no little «xcite ment in London, and is attracting a great deal of attention throughout England. War talk is quite common here among all classes, and the papers are helping it along bv demanding that England take measures at once to protect its interests in Morocco by sending warships there.

Then again civil war is very likely to follow in Morocco between the adherents of the rival claimants for the sultanate, including the two sons of Muley Hassan and a brother of the dead sultan, which will serve to still further complicate the situation.

Spain Mobilized 11n Army.

MADRID, June 18.—All officers and soldiers belonging to the second army corps stationed In Andulusia and all officers and soldiers belonging to the first army corps stationed in Madrid, now on furlough, have been called to arms In consequence of the grave aspect of affairs in Morocco.

Dr. O'Reilly has recommended that he shajl keep as quiet as possible and avoid all physical exertion. This precaution was: all the more prudent in view of the very warm and oppressive weather. Consequently the president kept to his room and did not undertake to receive any visitors or disturb himself until the hour set for the meeting of the cabinet, when he made his appearance in his office. The doctor expresses the opinion that his patient will be about in a day or two if he keeps quiet.
