The gold coinage executed at the Philadelphia mint during the present fiscal year, which ends on June 30, will be the

largest In the history of the mint Tbe total will be about 180,000,000. against only 111,840,202 for tbe calendar year 1892, and $1,282,185 for 1891. Tbe largest previous record was la 18*1, when tbe gold coinage was $07,588,15}, and In 1881, when the amount was $67,272,810. The gold coinage of other years has not approached the figures. The large coinage of the present year has beta due principally to the demands for sc old from the treasury. The export demand now has to be met In coin, for the act of 1890 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to Impose a charge for gold bars. Even without the export demand a heavy coinage has been required to meet tbe ordinary payments of Che treasury. The reduction of the currency balance last fall made It necessary to pay out gold poln. and bullion had to be coined to keep the coin in the treasury equal to the outsandin? gold certificate* Most of the coinage at Philadelphia and Now Orleans D in eagles, but a part of that at Fan Francisco Is limited to the bullion deposited there as the product of the Western miues and saves the cost of transportation to tbe East

LUCK OF ANDREW J. DAVIS, JR. An Ex-Employe of the Chicago Herald Gains Enormous Wealth. By a decision In the District Court at Butte, Mont, Andrew J.

LARAS FOR THE WEEK. In Spite of Strikes There Is a Good Vol* ume of Trade. R. G. Dun & Ca’s Weekly Roview of Trade says: Storms and floods, prolonged strikes, and large exports of gold have done their utmost to give bustnesi a vacation. But wants unsatlAfifed during tho last year, belated and much' lessened, and yet grente than those of any other nation, have caused a volume of trade quite large for tho season.

NO SIGNS OF PEACE.

COAL OPERATORS AND MINERS FAIL TO AGREE. Troop* Move Trains In Illinois—Voltey Fired at a Nervy Striker— Indiana Militia May Be Called—War On In the Keystone State. News of the Strike. There is nothing in sight, according to a Springfield dispatch, to warrant the belief that the strike of the Illinois coal miners will be settled this week or the next either. A conference of coal operators of Central and Southern Illinois on the one hand and representatives of the State and Nationa MineWorkers’ Union was held at Springfield.but nothing looking toward a compromise or adjustment of the difficulty has been accomplished. The parties are as far away from each other as ever. The representatives of the Miners’ Association stubbornly refuse to specify their demands. A meeting of the coal operators of the entire State will bo held, when, it po-sible, the operators will agree on what they will offer the miners. So the strike goes merrily on. It is hurting every class in the community now. It is working hardship on the poor, both miners and consumers. It is decreasing the revenue of corporations, factories, and eterybody who uset soft coaL It is a great detriment on some of the State institutions. The Kankakee asylum u es a great deal of coal, and has only ten carloads in stock. This will last only a few days. Some weeks ago, by way of precaution, the Superintendent, * Dr. Gapen, wrote Prc-ident Mcßride, acquainting him with the wants of the institution, and Mcßride gave a written authority that forty carloads of coal might bo mined for tbe Kankakee asylum. This permission was sent to a representative of the Miners’ Union in tho Kankakee district, and Dr. Gapen thought he was going to get his coaL Unfortunately, some district officer a little higher'in authority than the man to whom Mcßride's communication was sent was ignored, and tho understrapper will not allow the work to proceed.

Anarchy Runs Riot at La Sail**. La Salle, 111., sp -cial: This whole region is on the verge of riot and open rebellion. Loyal American citizens in some localities are at the mercy of a horde of low-browed, vicious Anarchists. An armed force of militia holds things in check in one or two towns, but outside of these centers lawless Italians, Slavs, Poles, and other treacherous and ignorant foreigners hold sway and defy tho authorities. An American citizen who goes abroad after dark lakes his life in his hands aud if he dares express himself at any time in a manner that does not suit the Anarchists he is liable to be beaten to death. At Spring Valley the Mayor is in terror of his life. The city prison has been sacked by the mob. The local police do not dare to arrest an Italian, a Dole, a Hun or an Anarchist of any nationality, no matter what offense against the laws he may commit. Practically tho same state of affairs exists at Wenona. It is a little less violent at Peru, and were it not for the presence of Col. Eennitt ’and his soldiers in this city it would be worse tiere. Time and again during the last two or three weeks the Stai s and Stripehas been dragged in the gutters of Spt ing Vally, while the red nag of anarchy and lawles-ness has been Haunted in the faces of the prop-erty-owners and citizens by a mob of men who cannot speak the English language and tvho have no legal voice in tne conduct of public affairs.

Bullets Fly Thick at Minonk. Minonk. 111., special: A striker threw a switch here directly in front of an Illinois Central freight train. In an instant weapons wee directed at him. Bullets from revolvers and rifles flew about the daring striker's heal, while buckshot ans other kinds of pellets discharged fnjm shotguns spread all around him. Why ho was not hit is one of the mysteries. He was, however, quickly arretted, and is now in jail. He is Henry Myers, and lie had a good position as cibleman in the Ames shaft here. He was-trying to keep the Illim is Central from moving a train of coal. With him were 200 desperate Poles, but the railroad cariied its point, thanka to the presence of Colonel Culver and three companies of the I. N. G. Disposition i f tlie MilitarySpringfield, 111. special: Gov. Altgeld received a m is- age from Wenona, Marshall County, saying the strikers there are prevent ng trains from moving and asking so arms and ammunition and that troo is lo held in readiness. Fifty riflis with ammunition were sent and (hi. Culver was telegraphed to proceed to Wenona and investigate. Gov. [Altge’d ordered tho two remaining c mpanies of troops at Pana to return name, The Governor also ordered home the troops stationed at Centraliaand two companies of those sent to Minonk. leaving one company at the latter place. Tho tr: ops at La Salle have been! ordered to remain there until further orders. i WAR OF EX! RUMINATION DECLARED. Clearfield Operators Declare They Will Mine Coal Despite Unions. Philadelphia, Pa., special: “We will start up our mines at 40 cent 3 per ton .if a deputy has to guard every miner with a rifle,” was the an war of the soft coal operators at their meeting in this city to c nsider Gov. I attisou’s scheme of arbitration. The operators repiesent the Clearfield, Beach Creek, and Broad Top regions on the eastern slope of tl e A’leghenies, extending from the Maryland to the New York lines. A few years ago the operators “blacklegged” the district and reduced the wages of the men to 40 cents a ton. The miners now ask 50 cents.as against the 70 cents asked for by the men west of the Ohio River. The miners paraded the streets of Osceola and Phillipsburg, flaunted banners, declaring they would not go to work, and dared the operators to import outside labor: Meantime the operators were in session in Philadelphia, 300 mi'es away, declaring a war of extermination. The outcome will ba bloodshed.

LAW SET AT DEFIANCE. Indiana Strlkinx Miners Cut Oat Work for the Military. General Solicitor Lyford, of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad, went before Judge Baker in the United States Court at Indianapolis and secured a temporary restraining order against the strikers at Lyford, Vigo County.

Mr. Lyford reported that all efforts to move the train were futiJe, and the

railroad company wanted authority lor taking deputies to Lyford and forcing the strikers to stand back. Brazil, Ind., special: A crowd of 300 miners is stationed at Fontanet on the Big Four and they stop every freight train that passes over the road and make a thorough examination of the box cars to learn if any coal is being shipped. - They captured a train in which was one car marked “perishable freight.* The miners forced entrance into the car, discovered that it was cca 1 , and promptly sidetracked it. Clinton, Ind., special: National President Mcßride, of the United Mine Workers, telegraphed to the striking mindrs at Lyford that they mu->t release the train of coal they had captured and pushed along the sidetrack behind the hills wheie the New Kentucky Coal Company has its mines. The farmers are supplying free the products of their farms to the strikers and the New Kentucky Company has kept its store open, giving the* men credit for what they bur. There was no wo”d here to-day of the proceedings in tl o United Sta’es Court at Indianapolis. The men do not believe Gov. Matthews will send the militia. This is his home town and he is personally known to most of the men. , LOOK FOB A FIGHT IN lOWA. Miner* Declare They Will Drag Colored Men from the Mnchakinock Fit*.

SUGAR AND BRIBERY

SENATE COMMITTEE FINDS LITTLE TO REPORT ON. Refusal of Newspaper Men to Reveal the Soarce of Their Information About Democratic Senators and the Sugar Trust Proves a Stumbling-Block. Suggest Wholesale Arrests. Senator Gray, Chairman of the select committee to investigate the alleged operations of the Sugar Trust in connection with the tariff legislation, submitted a partial report to the Senate of the proceedings of that committee bearing upon the refusal of the newspaper correspondents. Edwards, Shriver and Walker, to give the source of their information to the committee. The printed report of the committee consists of five printed pages, some of it being quotations from that part of the testimony where answers were refused. The committee sta'es that it overruled the objections to Judge Dittenhoeffer, Elwards’ cournel, and insisted upon an answer to the questions. These questions sought to ascertain the authority for the statement that Carlisle signified his willingness himself to prepare an amendment to the sugar schedule which he thought would be fair to the Government and yet just to his interests; who gave the information concerning the allowed interviews between officers of the sugar trust, Mr. Havemeyer, Senator Brice, and Senator Smith; who was his informant that, on the day Mr. Voorhees denied any amendments were proposed to the bill, as originally rep.r,el to the Senate, the list of 400 amendments, as prepare! by Senator Jon is, was in the bands of the brokerage firm of Moore & Schley; that the draft of the sugar tchedcle. as finally adopted as a result of a conference between Senator Gallery and representatives of the trust, meeting in one room of the Capitol Building', while the committee was in session m another. All of these questions, the committee say, Edwards, acting upon the advice of his counsel, refused to answer. Refusal Was an Illegality. Referring to the testimony of John Shriver, correspondent of " the New York Mail and Express, the committee quote from Mr. Shriver’s letter detailing what a prominent wire manufactui er was alleged to have overheard at the Arlington hotel in a talk between certain Senators and representatives of the' Sugar Trust. Mr. Shriver said that a member of Congress gave him the information, and the committee says that in response to a direct question he declined to give the name o' e.ther tho Congressman or the wire manufacturer t > whom he referred in his i.ews dispatches. In conclusion the committee says: In toe opinion of the committee ea;h of the questions put to each of said witnesses was a proper question and pertinent to the question under Inquiry beforo the committee and was necessary to make tho examination ordered by said resolution of the Senate, and that each of the said witnesses is in contempt of the Senate and merits to be dealt with for his misconduct; and that each of said witnesses, by his various refusals to answer tho questions as herein set forth, has violated tho provisions of that certain act of Congress in snch coses made and provldod. being chapter seven of the Revised Statutes of the United States. The committee quotes in full sections 102,103 and 101 of the Revised Statutes, being the act of 1857. Indictment Is Recommended. The closing words of the report are: Wherefore, tne committee request that the President of the Senate certify as to each witness his aforesaid failure to testify and his aforesaid refusal to answer, and all the facts herein, under the seal of the Senate, to the United States DLtrict Attorney for the District of Columbia, to the ond that each of said witnesses may be proceeded against In manner aud form provided by law.
