The situation throughout the Thacker, Mattewan and Dingess coal fields to-day is still a grave one. Things had been bad before yesterday when the shooting occurred, but the crisis is yet to come. Things seemed to be quiet about the mine all day to-day, even the idle men standing about having but little to say even to each other, but to-day's quietness has been but the calm before the sfvm. Wond of last evening's trouble spreaa rapidly, and on early morning trains several union agents arrived. They went promptly to work, and early this afternoon it was announced they had the mob under control, but only to plan for a concerted action of all the union miners in Mingo, who number nearly 2.000, They are gathering here this evening from throughout the section and to-morrow. probably in the morning, tho strikers will hold a meeting. One of the leaders said this afternoon that if the nonunion men could not be persuaded they would be com pelled; that this time they would meet force with force. This causes a great deal ef apprehension. The Maratime mines and a few others were running to-day with a half force of nonunion men. The guards have been quadrupled and are standing all about the mines watching every move. In all other respects Superintendent Lambert, is act ing as though nothing had happened Sheriff Hatfield is still on hand waiting for any emergency that may arise. On next Monday morning the operators will make an attempt to eject from their property all the striking miners now occupying houses In the coal fields. This will no doubt cause a fresh outbreak, and the cul minatlng point of the crisis may be reached. STRIKES AND POLITICS. Labor Disturbances nt Chicago Due Partly to Politicians. WASHINGTON, June 21. The Industrial commission has issued the eighth volume of its reports of testimony. This volume comprises 612 pages, and deals exclusively with the labor disputes in Chicago in 1900. The commission make3 no recommendation, but prints a summary of the testimony, in the course of which It says: "It Is claimed also by several of the witnesses, not only that policemen themselves were prejudiced in favor of the strikers, but that the higher city authorities leaned the same way. They asserted that the police had their instructions not to interfere, except in cases of absolute necessity, and several specific instances were cited to show that this was the case. It was claimed that this attitude of the authorities, which showed itself also in the actions of the police justices and other inferior courts, was due to political influence, especially to the desire of the party in power to cater to the large vote of the laboring classes at the coming election. These witnesses held that strikes in Chicago have often been especially numerous just before elections, and that both parties have been disposed to make political capital out of labor difficulties."

The legation guards are to be stationed at Teking for the protection of the several foreign legations there, and their presence has been insisted upon against the protest of China. It has been supposed that each government would pay for its own guard, but the point is now made that these guards are maintained owing to the inability of China to insure adequate protection and that China therefore should bear the expense. Besides this question one of the European powers expects to increase its indemnity claim by $2.000.000 on July 1. and others will make similar increases if the general subject of indemnity is not disposed of by that time.

Gils cn bat gl:m:rosity. Story Told by J. Plerpont Morgan C. 31. Schwab's Loyalty Rewarded in u Remarkable Way Cincinnati Social to Pittsburg Dipateh. Extraordinary circumstances were encountered by J. Plerpont Morgan when h set about the organization of the billiondollar steel trust, and one incident which has Just come to light displays Charles M. Schwab, president of the combine, in an attitude which is unique in the world's history of finance. Recently, during a casual discussion of business affairs with a friend. Mr. Morgan was called upon to express an opinion as to the sincerity of Mr. Carnegie's declaration that he believed it wrong for a man to die rich. "I believe," said Mr. Morgan, "that Mr. Carnegie is absolutely sincere in what he says on that point, and I think his actions prove it. Let me tell you about one thing he has done. When the organization of the United States Steel Corporation was about to be effected I met Schwab at my ofSce to discuss the status of the Carnegie holdings. It was then expected that Mr. Schwab might be elected president of the corporation, but there was no definite conclusion on that point. Mr. Schwab astounded me by telling me that he was receiving a salary of $l,000,0i)0 a year as president of the Carnegie companies. " I know no man can be worth that much salary, said he, 'but I'll tell you how it happened that such a salary was given me. About a year before the reorganization of the Carnegie interests, or two years ago, I was offered astonishingly liberal terms to sever my connection with the Carnegie Interests and take charge' 'rf some large manufacturing interests in Germany. I was receiving what I regarded to be a liberal salary from Mr. Carnegie, but it was small as compared with what the Germans offered me in the way of salary and interest in prospective prortts. Nevertheless 1 declined the German offer in order to continue my connection with the Interests I had been so long identified with. 1 said nothing to Mr. Carnegie about the matter. However, it came to Ids cars, and one day I was astounded to receive from him a blank contract which needed only my signature to assure me of a Ealary of Jl.oOO.um) a year for five years. " I went to see Mr. Carnegie about tha matter and said in my opinion it was Impossible that the services of one man ia any business, however profitable, could b worth $1,000, i0 a year. He replied that that was not the point; that his chief purpose in life was to distribute his wealth according to the plan he believed proper. He insisted upon my signing the contract, and that's how I came to receive a salary ol $1.000.0"? a year. "I told Mr. Schwab," continued Mr. Morgan, "that I had never heard of any suck salary as that and that to assume the contract along with the other obligations of the Carnegie Company might in all probability be impossible to the new corporation. He drew a paper from his pocket and said: 'Mr. Morgan, here is my contract. It calls, as you will see. for $l.O;0.O00 a year for five years. It has been in force for two years and in that time I have drawn $200.000 against my salary account. I am fully aware of the fact that sentiment and not business led Mr. Carnegie to draw that contract. I appreciate now that it offer an obstacle to this project, which is vastly favorable to the Carnegie interests and directly in line with the personal desire of Mr. Carnegie to be relieved of business responsibility. You need not hesitate on account of this contract. There is an easy way to settle that matter." "Thereupon." continued Mr. Morgan, "Mr. Schwab tore the contract to pieces before my eyes. I felt It my duty to detail to Mr. Carnegie the scene In my office when the contract was destroyed. lie smiled and said that there were few men, in the world like Schwab. 'I don't propose that he shall lose anything by what he has done.' said he. I fhall send him my check for the amount he lost when he destroytl the contract.' "Mr. Carnegie drew his check for Ji.VA(ni and sent it to Mr. Schwab with a note explaining ' his understanding of the transaction in my office. That. I believe. Is the basis for the stories we hear of the enormous salary paid to Mr. Schwab by the r.ew corporation. As a matter of fact bis salary as president of the corporation is not larger than that of a good many railroad presidents." EDWARD PRIGGEE ARRESTED. A Iw Mlnntes Later His Mother Dropped Dead from Heart Disease. About 2:3") o'clock this morning the pollca arrested Edward Prigger on the charge of wife desertion. A few minutes after the arrest his mother, Anna Prigger, dropped dead with heart disease, with which sh had been suffering. Prigger was found at his mother's home, No. C22 Fulton street.
