Indignation Ht tho Action Taken by th« .C«M»fi*r«neo May K«nlt lu Disrupting tho Organization—Oatline of the Situation. /.

COAT. DIGGERS NISPLKASKH. Cfu.i.'Mitt'fi, 0., June H.—T ho mining rate ajfreeii upon by the joint conference of operators and miners In this citv last Monday will not bo Indorsed by the strikers in the Hocking valley. The feeling against its acceptance ha» been intensitled by President A. A. Adams, of the Ohio district, who refused to sign the scnlo, addressing the malconeontents at various points in the, valley and urging them to organize against the settlement. To that end local conventions have been called at Gloucester, New Straitsville, Nelsonville, Corning, Buchtel and other places to be held Saturday to take deUnite action against the 00-ceutrate.

Much liltt«rm'Afl.

The men are bitter against their executive oflieers for formally agreeing to accept the 00-cent schedule in the llocking valley, well knowing that it would not be acceptable. It is believed the outcome will be the organization of a new miners' body, at the head of which 1'resident Adams, of Ohio, and others will appear. 1'resident McBride and tho other oflicials expect a radical change in sentiment as soon as the circulars explaining why they consented to a reduction in the scale for mining are re ceived and understood by the rank aDd lile of the miners. President McBride reiterates the statement that the miners will accept the situation and return to work within a reasonable time. ...

Spring Valley Men Kelwl.

Simung Vali.kv, 111., June 14.—The miners of northern Illinois will hold together as fiim as bands of steel. All thoughts of accepting the Columbus compromse are now dispelled. At a delegate meeting here Wednesday afternoon, at which at least 10,000 miners were represented, it was unanimously voted not to dig a ton of coal until the operators restore last year's prices. They adopted resolutions calling on the executive board of the miners' union to resign and demanded an election for officers at an early day. Similar resolutions will likely be adopted by every local union in the northern and possibly In the southern and central fields also.

INDIANA WILL FIGHT.

Teukh Haite, Ina., June 14.—It can be said in the most positive way that the Indiana miners will rebel against the action of their representatives at Columbus and refuse to go to work for the compromise scale of 00 cents a ton for bituminous coal. The local lodges have taken action and without exception are agauist abiding by the agreement. The "locals" have asked for a state convention, which will be held here on Saturday. The early date is fixed, it is supposed, to prevent the taking effect of the agreement on Monday following, as provided in the Columbus agreement. The convention will be composed of delegates who will coine instructed to provide for a continuance of the strike in this state. It is reported that the Indiana miners are receiving encouragement in this course from the Ohio ollicials.

MeHrld© Hanged in Eltlgy.

I'm sat'hoh, Pa., June H.—President/ Mcliride was hanged in eftigy at a mass meeting of strikers at Hays Crossing, near McDonald, on the Panllandle railroad. Three thousand men attended a meeting- at McDonald and denounced their officers for compromising at OS) cents.

NO SETTLEMENT IN COLORADO.:

DENVEB, Col., June 14.—The coal miners' strike in this state does not appear to be nearlntr a settlement. Over !!00 men employed in the Crested Butte mines decided to strike until the schedule of three years ago is restored. This will compel the coke ovens at Cardiff to close down.

MOR« URIDGUH BURNED.

A8SII.L0N, 0., June 14.—The miners' relief committee of the Massillon district had scaroely issued a proclamation denouncing the "simulated fear" of the railroad companies whereby the latter secured the assistance of th* national guard and the United States marshals than word came of the wanton destruction of two bridges on the Wheeling & Lake Erie railway not U5 miles away, and as the obnoxious coal train which caused this act of vandalism passed by West Urookfield. where the Massillon miners were holding a mass-meeting, they rushed to the railroad shaking their fists and howling with rage. 'Die Wheeling & Lake Erie railway is not protected by deputies or militia, for the reason that it gave up the West Virginia coal traffic about ten

days

ago in order to keep peace and no protection was deemed necessary. Wednesday afternoon the management concluded that as the strike was virtually at an end it would bo safe to begin the movement of coal. One train had scarcely passed through Sherrodsville, about 25 miles from here, than the miners assembled and calmly bet about to burn down two important bridges, each about 100 feet long. Flat cars were pushed down the main track and one was located in the middle, of eacli bridge. These flat cars were then saturated with oil and

the match applied. The crowd waited to see their work completed and cheered as tho last timbers fell. Telegraph wires were cut and an important railway system paralyzed. It will take four days at the least to replace the bridges and in the meantime all freight traffio is suspended, passengers being transferred across the streams. Great excitement has been created and the sheriff of Carroll county will be called on.

THREW AWAY THEIR GUNS.

McCi.ainvii.lb, ()., June 14.—While Company of the Eighth regiment was guarding a deep cut near this place tho men were attacked by about thirty strikers, who were armed with stones and clubs. The soldiers, seeing that tho attacking party had no firearms, threw down their weapons and went at the mob with bare fists. In less than two minutes the whole party of Poles and Italians were put, to flight without bloodshed.

MOB N«AR INUREUM'S.

PA.NA, 111., June 14.—The mob at camp Popo increases and there are now 600 foreign miners there. In addition to the men already here the strikers expect 470 miners from Danville and eastern points to march Into Pope's grovo to-day also 150 from Taylorville and 100 from Assumption, Oirard. Edinburg and other points. This body of 1,200 outside strikers,with 400 or 500 Puna men, will march to Millersville, a little station 8 miles northwest of the Pope farm, to attend the massmeeting called for this evening.

The l'ana officials view tho suddenlyaugmented foroe of the invaders with alarm, but the mayor declares his intention of stopping them at all hazards at the city limits should they disregard his orders and attempt to parade through the city Friday. Several telegrams were sent to Springfield, and as a result two cases of rifles arrived Wednesday evening. Tho chief of police estimated that there were 500 rifles in the hands of the city and county authorities.

A TRAIN CAPTURED.

Si'KIKOFIBLD, 111., June 14.—Receiver Bouworth, of the Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis railroad, which is. operated by receivers (Appointed by the Cnited States court, received a telegram stating that a mob of 200 striking miners about 5 o'clock Wednesday evening assembled at Mount Olive. Macoupin county, and stopped train bearing coal from Chicago to St. Louis. Receiver Bosworth at once applied ti Judge Allen, of the United States court, who directed United States Marshal Brlnton to proceed to Mount Olive and effect tho release of the train.

STRIKEN MANLFONT THEIR DISAPPROVAL. Pittsburgh, Pa., June 14.—A half dozen men began work Wednesday morning clearing out the mines of the Imperial Coal company preparatory to start next Monday. They were attacked by a mob of 590 strikers, who drove them from the mines and fired at the en gineer. They then went to the company store and drove out the clerks and helped themselves to eatables. After leaving notice that they would kill anybody who started to work at the 09-cent rate they marched to Moon Run. The company has appealed to the sheriff for protection.

A COALITION.

IT FORMED BETWEEN KNIGHT* OF LABOR AND THE A. R. U. CHICAGO, June 14.—The American Railway union on Wednesday decided to affiliate with the Knights of Labor in the movement to Improve the condition of the laboring men of the country, and resolutions favoring an alliance as far as possible between the Knights of Labor and the American Railway union were adopted. At the. session beginning at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the doors were closed and General Master Workman John R. Sovereign delivered an address urging the cooperation of the American Railway union. He set forth the absolute necessity of the coalition of all labor organizations and declared that the laborer will nevet bo emancipated until one grand organization is effected. At his conclusion Presiden Debs and Vice President Howard responded in behalf of the American Railway union, and urged the delegates to carefully consider the remarks and suggestions of Grand Master Workmen Sovereign. At the conclusion a committee was elected by the delegates to draw up resolutions showing the sentiment of the convention towards coalition. It reported such resolutions and they were adopted by a unanimous standing vote of thu delegates.

The coalition of the Knights of Labor and the American Railway union is looked upon as the beginning of relentless warfare In the labor world. This will probably be between the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor, and between the American Railway union and the old brotherhoods of railway men.

VASCOWEtt, B. C., June 14.—China is being decimated by an awful plague that is raginif there. Thousands of people have died from it, aud full details of the alarmitiif spread of tho terrible scourge have just been brought here bv the steamer Empress of Japan. The plague first made its appearance in Canton towards tho end of April. It is similar to the great plague that raged In Lonlon with such direful effect In tho sixteenth century, and is carrying off large numbers of victims. From Canton it soon spread to llong Kong, appearing there in May. Thus far it is chieHy confined to Chinese. All business has been paralyzed by the plague, and most of the big steamship lines refuse to take either pussengers or cargoes from Hong Kong.

ITH SYMPTOM*.

The symptoms of the disease are described as follows: Without any premonitory warning in the shape of a chill, victims are attacked with a sudden fever, rising to 105 degrees or over. There is much headache, accompanied by stupor, lu twelve or twentyfour hours a glandular swelling occurs in the neck or armpit. Increasing to the size of a fowl's egg, being hard and tender. With or without the decline of fever, th.» patient sinks into a condition of coma aud dies at the end of twenty-four or forty-eight hours. If six days is reached recovery is possible. -CAN'T COUNT THE DEIUL.

In Cninlon there is scarcely a house that lias not some one dead in it. The plague, commenced there In the Mohammedan quarters and 1(10 cases are reported daily. It is impossible to ascertain the number of deaths, as the officials try to suppress the facts. At the largest charitable (native) dispensary a notice at the door states that up to date 2,000 Collins have been given away. This is far below the actual number used. Six thousand would be much nearer.

It Iteai-lies llong IVOIIK*

Ma}' 10 it was found that the disease had reached Hong Kong aud energetic steps were at once taken to cleanse the infested localities. However, hospitals were opened for the sick and the ship Ilygra was moored in the harbor for the accommodation of patients, a large number of whom were taken there. Up to the latest reports cases had occurred in Hong Kong and 320 deaths. The schools have been closed and a panic exists among the Chinese, many of whom lire fleeing to the mainland.

A foreign missionary resident In Canton made svt-lejnatie inquiries, which he avers show that up to May 8 at lea.^t UO.OUO people have been carried off. All the immense business of the city was at a standstill and the Inhabitants who could do so were fleeing into the country, while tb«)se who remained were cndi avoring to stay the progress of the terror by the most extravagant "joss pidgin," or worship of their idols, vain rites in which the highest officers of the government joined.

LTAVUCFR OF CHOLERA.

WASHINGTON. June 14.—Cholera seems to be spreading in Russia. A dispatch from St. Petersburg states the latest official bulletin shows 134 new cases aud 78 deaths during May at, Warsaw and the other six Polish provinces. Advices received liy the Marine hospital service are that China and Turkey are also affected with this plague. By orders of tho Russian minsster of the interior both Canton and Hongkong have been declared to be unsafe as regards ships and passengers coming therefrom on account of tho plague. According to the Russian minister at Pekin the plague has brokeu out at Hongkong among the Chinese population, brought there from Canton. The mortality has been sixty-five deaths, but at present the disease has not spread to any great extent. Both ports in question are declared to have contaminated Turkey. In Villayet Slvas there were from April to May 442 deaths from cholera. Quarantine at Malta against Constantinople has been withdrawn. Passengers from there, however, are subject to sanitary supervision at their houses for two weeks. Cholera has been introduced into Galacla from Russia, where it lias existed the entire winter, there being numerous cases in tho Russian villages and on the Galician frontier. The United States consul at Canton says: "Tho plague mentioned in my last report is yet making havoc among the natives in Canton and in various parts of the country. Mortality ranges from 25 to 75 per cent, of persons attacked."

The flames started in a low quarter of the town, between the public market aud the old railway station, at -t: t() Wednesday afternoon, aud at 7 o'clock p. m. the police reported that 225 buildings hail been destroyed. A high, wind, reaching almost a gale, has prevailed, spreading the flames which the firemen have been unable to check on any side. To add to the danger there is a scarcity of water. The flames are rapidly advancing to the heart of the city aud the public market is in danger. Thick showers of sparks and brands are falling throughout the district where th fire is burning, and thousands of persons are at work on roofs clearing off combustible material and pouring water on the heated walls. Streets leading from the burning district are choked with crowds of workers and spectators, ami with families trying to drag their household goods to a place of safety.

Families living near the burning quarter are panic stricken. No est! mate of the loss is yet possible. A vast quantity of merchandise in shops and in storage has been burned. Th loss in private houses has been very great. No less than SI,000.000 worth of property has been ruined, and much more badly damaged. The present estimates of the loss are between 81,250,000 and 81,500,000.

AGAINST FREE WOOL.

SENATORS FROM NORTHW«*HTORII STATES DEFEND THE TARIFF. WASHINGTON, June 14.—hi the senate Wednesday the pending question in the tariff debate was Senator Peffer's amendment to restore 50 per cent, of the duty on raw wools. Senator Sherman (rep., O.) made a vigorous speech against free wool. The question of free wool, he affected the people reiterated what he a previous speech, was the culminating atrocity of this bill. He appealed to the democrats to put aside politics and withhold this destructive blow at this great industry. The slieop-ralsingand wool-growing Industry was common, in a greater or less extent, to every state or territory. It was certain, he said,that the United States could not compete In the production of wool with Australia, Argentine Republic and other countries where sheep raising was the principal industry. Unless some government aid was given the farmers of the United States must abandon the field.

said, vitally of Ohio. Ho had said In that free wool

Senator Stewart (pop., Nov.) took the floor and made an argument against free wool. Senator Hansbrough (rep., N. 1).) and Senator Slioup (rep.. Idaho) also opposed free wool. Senator Slump contended that the fall In the price of wool had been world-wide for twenty years and In the United States it ruled higher than elsewhere by the amout of the duty levied. The demonetization of silver had much to do with the fall of the price of wool in the world's market.
