Wit a vengeance. Why? Simply
because we determined to put an
end to the so-called price cutting in
this line that Is commonly adver
tised in the papers, but falls to ma
terialize at the counter.
We had a way of setting them not
uncommon to us. We knew that
the bottom had literally fallen out
of the market and that spot cash
was a great temptation to sell. We
tried the experiment. Here's the
result:

Indication That the Whole Place
Has Caved In from the Surface
These nre dreary days of waiting and
watching for those who hunt? about the
mouth of the Ill-fated Twin shaft at
Pittston. Not the slightest Incident
hus occurred In the lust forty-eight
hours to help kiep alive the faint ray of
hope that possibly some of the unfortu
nate men might be brought out alive
and, now, this dim possibility causes
Mtter anguish Instead of consolation
for they feel that It were far better
that their beloved ones should be dead
than to be dying in delirium Inch by
Inch In the dark lonesome caverns of
the mine. The fact thut many of the
bereaved women now appear In mourn
ing when they make their Ti-equent Vis
its to the mine Indicates as strongly as
unythlng can that even they have
ieus;d to hone
There Is still the possibility, quite
generally admitted that some of the
men may still be alive' but those who
hold this belief are loth to give It
words for the terrible picture this possi
bility conjectures up before the mind is
dreadful to contemplate, now that It Is
so certain three or four weeks will
pass before the rescuers can reach the
spot where the men are supposed to
have been caught.
Vesterday like the days Immediately
preceding brought forth no goad news.
The rate of progress was If unythlng. a
trllle slower than on Thursday. Right
und a half feet were cleared but only
ti's feet were completely tunnelled, dur
Ini the eight hours between 7 a. in.
and 3 p. m.. .From that time until 11
o'clock last night when the next shift
came up the progress was just about
the same. Yesterday morning the res
cuers encountered an unusually large
boulder 10xfix3 und lost much tinid in
breaking It up and removing- it.

It Is hoped today that a little better
time will be made as the roud Just In

appears to be free from extra sized

The use of sledges for breaking the
rock has been dune away with to a
great extent by the adoption of the "pin

in quarries. A row of shallow holes

and not a coroner's jury with Its Indis

in this morning's papers. Mr. Patterson
agreed with me that the Investigation
was to be welcomed by us and that we
should congratulate ourselves that it is
to be an Intelligent Investigation. We
will do all In our power to aid the In

. MINE INSPECTOR STEIN.
Inspector William teln, of Shenan
doah, one of the commission, arrived
on the scene yesterday morning having
eome simply as a visitor. He learned
of the letter addressed to him by Gov
ernor Hastings after he had Btarted
from home and consequently had not
had much time to consider the matter.
When Interviewed on the matter he
said that the Investigation will probably
be private out of courtesy to the gov
ernor who Is entitled to the first Infor
mation concerning the commission's
findings, inasmuch as the investigation
was suggested by him and the com
mission was his creation. Mr. Stein had
not seen Inspectors Broderlck or Bar
num, the other .members of the com
mlaleon and consequently could not
say definitely how the Investigation will
be conducted. As far as he was con
cerned himself he would not object to

entatives being present at the sessions

THE CLEVELAND STRIKE.
I Trouble at the Brown Hasting Works
Not Yd OverAlbert Saunders
Rek-asd on SI0.OJ3 Ball.
Cleveland, Ohio, July 3. The locked -out
employes of the Rruwn Hoistlrg and
Conveying company held a meeting at
Superior hall this morning. The situa
tion was thoroughly canvassed und it
was ordered that these telegrams be
sent:
"Kugene V. Debs, New York cHy:
Workmen here In awful ferment. I'lilon
man deliberately murdered by scabs.
lUnlal Sunday afternoon. Can you come
and deliver funeral oration?"
"James O'Connell, grand master ma
chinist. Oil City: Great ferment; union
man murdered by scabs. Can't you
come?"
A burning proclamation to all labor
ing men in the city was issued. The
Brown Hoisting company and the mu
nicipal government which furnished po
lice to protect the non-union men, were
bitterly denounced. A strong appeal
was sent to all union men In northern
Ohio to make special effort and attend
the funeral services of the dead striker
at Immaculate Conception church, Sun
day afternoon. Those attending the
funeral were requested to wear a white
ribbon.
The parade will be formed at Superior
hall In the neighborhood of the works
at 12.30 p. m. Sunday. The majority of
the labor organizations In the city have
already signified their Intention to par
ticipate. A monster demonstration is
anticipated.
The strikers when not indulging In
threats of avenging the death of Wil
liam Rettger, who was killed yesterday
are tonight expressing confidence of
victory In the strike, owing: to the ac
tion of the Brown Hoisting company
toda.y Shortly before noon the 72 men
at work were paid off and told that the
works would close at noon and not re
open until Monday. This the striker
think means that they will not be re
opened at all. Manager Leeds insists
however, that the works will open Mon
day with 250 men.
Albert G. Saunders, who fired the fa
tal shot is In a critical condition. He
was released on $10,000 ball and lies
with a broken nose and Jav and terri
ble cuts -and bruises about his head
and body. The doctors are doubtful of
hit recovery.
SILVER MEN WILL
-RUN CONVENTION
No Hope for t! D.mcnitic Gold Bugs
at Chicago.
SENTIMENT IN FAVOR OF TELLER
His Associates in the Senate Arc
All (living Him Supports-Senator
Jones Declurcs Thut There Shall
Uc No Jugglery wilii the Platform.
Chicago, July 3. It looks as If the
Chicago Democratic convention would
he quite as lnp-slded nc the recent
Republican gathering at St. Iouis.
There has been no break today In the
monotony of the signs and tokens of
whut Is to happen. It Is to be a free
silver convention. Moreov-r, with sur
prising unanimity the controlling men
of the western and southern delega
tions have declared thxir preference for
Teller. Nearly all his associates or for
mer associates in the senate who be
lieve In ftie coinage are giving hltn
their support. The list includes Tur
Pie, of Indiana; Jones, of Arkansas;
Harrison, of Tennessee; Walsh, of
Ceoigla: Chilton, of Texas, and Cock
rell, of Missouri.
When the eastern delegates and
friends of the gold standard reach
Chicago they will lind that the silver
men have absolute control of tho situa
tion. Conferences have been frequent
during the day. Out of ull this con
sultation but .one concrete fact seems
to huve been developed. The platform
will be concise, short and clear cut.
without so much as a ambiguous word
thut can be misconstrued into mean
ing anything other than out and out
declaration for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
Senators Jones, of Arkansas; Rate
and Harris, of Tennessee; 'Blackburn,
of Kentucky; Tillman, of South Caro
lina, und Cockrell, of Missouri: Senator-elect
Money, of Mississippi: Rep
resentative Richardson, of Tennessee,
and Hon. Joint R. Mi Lean, have been
in conference during the day, and all
arc unxeed that the financial plank
shall be (riven that prominence which
its importance demands, and that Its
text shall be so short and Its meaning so
llxed and determined thai he who runs
can read it utidetvtuiidlngly,
NO Gl'SH AM.OWKD.
"T'latltudes will be eschewed by this
convention," said Senator Jones, of Ar
kansas, today. "The silver men repre.
sent the plain people of tile country,
the thinking masses, and our declara
tion will be such that no n.an can Jug
cle with lis meaning or i-'ieak to rep
resent it us some thlnt, r A'J. It.,. J'tHl
This convention Is to P-? run by Hie
silver men; we ure in control and
everything that Is done will be by thu
consent of the mujoiity only. This sit
uation might us well be accepted by
the minority at once. The minority
will be accorded ull its rights and will
be part or parcel of the Democratic
convention, but the voice of the ma
jority is the voice of the party In the
convention."
When usked if he had any fear of
the delegates being weaned from their
allegiance to silver. Mr. Jones replied
with a negative that was emphatic und
coinlucliig as to the sincerity of his
own views. "If the gold men are hop
ing to be successful in proselyting
among the silver men," he continued,
"it Is high time they understood the
character of timber of which this con
vention will be constructed. The del
egates to the convention are men who
can neither be hoii:rht cr bull-dozed.
They are firm In the faith, and noth
ing can shnkw their loyalty to the
cause, which they put above all other
political questions. Long months ago,
when we llrst org.inl::ed the silver
movement In Washington, we took
en re to provide ngalnst such Intltiercs
and wrote our people in every district
to see (hat strong men Were selected
as delegates.
V.'l'll" tl-ere seems to he no concen
tration i. pun uny one for temporary
chairman the p-p.-rel opinion H that
elthir Senator Hani:-, of Representa
tive Richardson, l.oth of Tonue.'see,
may be permanent chairman, and that
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, may
be temporary cha'rmnn. All th se g n
1 tletnen are good parliamentarians, Mr.
Harris having been president pro tern
of the senate. Mr. Richardson a fre
quent nnd expirieneed occupant of the
speaker's chair during the two terriis
of Speaker Crisp, and Mr. lilnckhtirn
having frequently presided over the
senate.
NO OOI.D NOTIO WIM. POl'ND.
Concerning the report that the na
tional committee intended to attempt
to force a gold standard man upon
the convention for tempoiaiy chair
man, Mr. Richardson said: "Nothing
of the kind will be done. Of course
we recognize the fact that the commit
tee, as at present constituted. Is
against silver, but the committee will
be very apt to remember also that the
convention Is very largely the other
way. If It decides by a majority vote
to recommend to the convention a geld
man, the minority of the committee
will offer a substitute naming a silver
man. When the committee makes Its
report to the convention the first sub
stitute will be offered, and a substitute
is always voted on first. The substi
tute will be adopted, and If there is to
be a brush about the question. It will
be short and quick and result In a
sweeping victory for the silver men.
The majority will not listen to the
sounding of a gold note In the opening
of the convention.
Governor Altgeld's idea that the con
vention can complete Its work in one
day is scouted by experienced politi
cians. One of them said this after
noon that while he was In favor of
reasonable haste, he recognized the
fact that It required time to err
fully transact the business of a nation
al convention. The platform would
cause some debate, depending entirely
upon the pleasure of the convention,
exercised through the gavel of the
chairman. It Is not Improbable that
some prominent person representing
the gold side of the question will be
selected to antagonise the report of the
committee on resolutions, and with
that single speech discussion will end.
This will be accomplished by a motion
from the floor demanding the previous
question, which will be promptly put
and carried. While all reasonable
pedltiort Is desired by those having- con
trol, no one of pood Judgment predicts
less than a three dcys' session.
THE GOLD BUGS ARRIVE.
.Mr. Whitney, Senator Hill and Cover
nor flower on thu Scene.
Chicago, July 3. The attractive event
of the day and the most important
from the standpoint of the anti-free
silver members of the party assem
bled In the convention city was the
arrival this evening of the advance
guard from the eastern states, prin
cipally New York, representing the
gold standard minority. Their leader
was William C. Whitney. The former
Secretary of the navy had engaged al
most the whole of the parlor floor of
the Auditorium annex nine bed rooms
and six parlous for the use of the
sound money Democracy. Mr. Whit
ney was the first to Inscribe his name
and among others were Thomas Y.
Ryan. Walter Stanton, James Smith,
Jr.. John R. Fellows, William E. Rus
sell, Boston; Senator George Gray,
Delaware; J. J. Martin, C. V. Baldwin,
Smith M. Weed, O. H. M. Harvey, H.
D. Macllona. C. R. Meller, Thomas J.
Ryan. New York.
When asked If he had any statement
to make to the press, Mr. Whitney
said:. "I shall have nothing to say to
night In the" way of an Interview. The
fact Is I have not anything to add to
whut I said for publication In New
York on the Issue, and crisis before
the party. I have been on a train for
twenty-four hours, and have Just got
In to look over the ground."

Chicago, July 3. In vtew of the
many conflicting statements put In cir
culation respecting Senator Teller's at
titude and the Inuntlon of his friends
who walked with him out of the St.
Louis convention a fortnight ago. Sen
ator Dubois this afternoon gave out
the following letter from his associate,
the only one, he said, that hud been
received from Senator Teller since the
adjournment of the Republican na
tional convention:
Morrison, 111.. June 24, ISM.
Hon. Fred Dubois, SprlnKtleld, III,
Dear Sir: I reached tills place yester
day und will remain here until the lust of
the week, when 1 will leave for Denver.
I notice thai the gold standard Dem
ocrats huve it, clured ilieir intention to
control the Chicago onventlon. 1 do
not think they can do It. If our sliver
friends control the convention and give
us u good silver nuiv, ' tr' "t "' vi'l.
J-thli h.- Hhould hut Him. ..j k r;
of all who believe the money question Is
the greatest question liefore the Amerlcun
people. We must, for this canipulgn, at
least, overlook ull minor differences and
put the country on u sound financial sys
tem that recognizes tnat gold and silver
are tne money of the constitution.
I believe tills can be done, and to that
end we must bend alt our energies. A
little more patriotism and a little less
partisanship is whut our country needs
ut this time. The friends of silver made
no mistHne at St. I.ouls, and we must not
make a mistake us to our future alliance
wltli other sliver advocates.
The cause is of too much importance to
ul in 1 1 of carping or criticism. We must
all get together und ucl together until
the buttle is won. It will be a royal bat
tle, with Justice on our slue. We must
win.
Ret us hear from you soon.
Yours truly,
II. M. Teller.
ST. JOHN RESIGNS.
The New York Silver Hanker Forced

New York, July, 3. The following
statement was given out at the Mercan
tile National batik, 191 Broadway, this
afternoon: "Mr. William P. St. John
has resigned the presidency of the Mer
cantile National bank." For several
yeurs he has outspokenly advocated
the free coinage nf silver. Recently the
fei.ling in hanking1 circles against a
bank president's advocating free silver
luts been manifest. The matter was
brought to nn Issue this morning tit the

from one of his director, of which the
following Is an extract:
I have Just heard thut you Intend to
tuke part In the silver con vein loll at Chi

do so, is my belief.
1 admit that the position yon hold gives
you power before a convention, but you
ought not to go when you know yuitr

t'ainpnigii.
Canton, Ohio, July 3. It was an In
teresting delegation of wage earners
from Tuscarawas county numbering
about 1.U00 thut called on Major Mc
Kinley this hot July afternoon. In the
midst of the procession was borne aloft
a huge sheet of American bright tin
plate manufactured in one of the mills
at Canal Dover. It Is the largest sheet
of tin plate ever made In the United
States, its dimensions being 30 by 144
Inches.
The delegation was essentially a la
bor delegation. W. A. Bovey, of Den
nison, spoke for the visitors and his
earnest remarks were cordially
cheered. The appearance of Major
McKinley was the signal for a pro
longed outburst of cheering which
lusted for several minutes. After quiet
had been restored Major McKinley
made the longest Informal talk he has
yet addressed to a visiting delegation.
He said:
MAJOR M'KINLEY'S SPEECH.
Mr. Bovey and my Fellow Citizens:
I am very grateful for this visit on the
part of my friends In Tuscarawas coun
ty and I thank my old friend, your spokes
man, for the cordial and generous and
eloquent words of greeting which he has
brought to tne In your behalf. This as
semblage h fulrly typical of our Ameri
can communities, and it fitly represents
the varied occupations of the people. As
your spokesman has already said, in this
presence are furmers, laborers, mechan
ics, miners, rullroud employes, merchants,
professional men and representatives of
every rank of the people. And you are
here distant from your home not from
curiosity nor from any considerations at
all personal, but you are here because In
your hearts you believe In the great
fundamental doctrines of the Republican
party. (Loud applause). You believe
that these principles are best for you
when put Into practical legislation and
administration. You believe that those
principles will secure to all the people the
largest measure of good to the largest
number, and you believe that because
you recall that for more than a third
of a century those great Republican prin
ciples dominated legislation and adminis
tration In this country, anil that during all
thut period you have enjoyed exceptional
prosperity which you have not enjoyed
In the lust three years and a half. (Loud
cheers).
You know, therefore, something of
these great principles rrom experience,
which, after all, is the most unerring
teacher, and you are only waiting for an
opportunity to express Judgment bused
