Athens, July 20.- Jt Is stated here that Italy has proposed coercive meas ures against Turkey BRITISH RES&NTMENT. It Lends the London .Horn ins Post on to Discus Wiir,' London, July 20. The Morning Post In Its Issue today again discusses the relations existing between the United States and Great Hritlan, and the pos sibility of a war being forced upon the latter. The paper says that the Idea of dumaglng America by the bombard ment of open coast towns is nonsense. Great Hritlan will not make war upon helpless non-combatants. A war with the United Stntes would first be a con test of navies, and an effort on the part of British cruisers to protect Iirlt isll seaborne trade. Its second phase would be a blockade of the ports of the United States not an easy matter and a land defence of Canada. These two operations would have to be con tinued until the people of the United States nsked themselves the question, "What is war about?" Eventually they would discover that there was a real cause and peace would be made, which would leave the two countries exnetly where they are, but both Impoverished needlessly and embittered against one another. This picture, the Post declares, may seem one-sided to Americans who recall the splendid exertions of the United States In the late civil war, but the victories of Grant, Sherman and Thomas were won In the great cause of Union and emancipation, "Such victories do not come to those whose caupe Is unintelli gible, and who have no better motive provoking war than inexplicable pas sion and hatred," MOBS DISGRACE KENTUCKY. So Cor, Hrndlcv Declares in An nouncing Pnrdon of n Negro. Frankfort, Ky., July 20. Governor Bradley has made public a statement announcing why he had granted a par don to George Dinning, the negro who was convleted recently and sentenced to seven years In Jail for shooting Jody Conn, who with a mob had come M his house at midnight and ordered him to leave. Dinning was guarded by soldiers during his trial at Frank lin, The governor says: "In a duy or two after the killing Dlnnlng's house was burned. No in dictment was ever returned against any member of the band or against nny one who burned the house, nnd the grand Jury Indicted Dinning main ly upon the evidence of self-confessed outlaws. The conviction is paslly ac counted for. His conviction was pro cured almost entirely on the evidence of his would-be nssaslns, nnd yet when he usked who they were, they an swered, through their disguised lender nnd In a disguised voice, that they were his friends. "It Is not reasonable to suppose Din ning, with a shotgun, would have fired upon twenty-five armed men, except in case of extreme necessity and when he had been previously fired upon. This poor and friendless man, sur round with his wife and six children, was ordered wlthottt wnrrant of law, to leave his little home, after which he was tired on and wounded. Ho de fended himself, as every dictate of rea- , son and humanity demanded and Jus tified. Ho did no more than any other man should or, would do. Instend of a convict's garb, he is entitled not only to acquittal, but entitled to the admiration of every citizen who loves good Ko.vernment and desires the per petuation of free Institutions, "Too long have mobs disgraced the fair name of Kentucky, and while I Bin governor of this commonwealth no man, however obscure and friend less, shall be punished for killing a member of a mob who elect to take his life or drive htm from his home."

DEBS TALKS TO FIFTY. No Attempt Is .Undo to Organize Men at Kivcrsville. Palrmount. W. Va., July 20. Fifty miners heard E. V. Debs speak at Rlv ersvlllo tonight, but only a few of them came from Montana, the most Import ant mine In the region excepting Mon ongah. Debs' speech was the same ap peal to the men to lay down their picks and throw their fortunes with their striking brethren. He was received very enthusiastically and the minors seemed deeply Interested. No attempt was made to organize the men, as Debs thought there were not enough miners present. Tonight It wns reported that the company has built gates at the Montana mines and had their men fastened in, but the report proves untrue. Every effort was used to keep the men away and many spot ters were employed. Tonight nt Mon ongah the newly organized union held their second meeting for today and nineteen members Joined, making 239 in all. The new members are men who were employed today. Operators here are Jubilant and say the great strike ns far us West Vlrjilnla is concerned, Is a failure. ARMED ROBBERS FOILED.

Cost of Trnnsportation--A Ituitroud May Ho lliiilt to the Gold Regions. Seattle, Wash., July 20. C. B. Mc intosh, governor of the Northwest Ter ritory, In which Is Included the far famed Klondyke district, Is In Seattle. He freely subscribes to the truthful ness of the stories sent out as to the richness of the new diggings. He esti mates that the Klondyke and Its trib utaries yielded over $3,000,000 In gold last winter. Of this amount he says 12,000,000 nnd upward came via the steamships Portland and Excelsior. More than n million dollars in dust, he snys, Is now stored away In the cabins of miners along the creek be 'ng developed. "The British Yukon yield of gold for 1S97," the governor added, "will not be less than $10,000,000." He says sur veyors tire now at work trying to as certain the feasibility of the construc tion of a rnllroad Into the Yukon. One route contemplates a line of steam el s from Fort Wrangle up the Styken river. Chicago, July 20. P. B. W'eare, vlco president of the North American Trad ing company, Is receiving hundreds of letters asking for Information regard ing the Alaskan gold fields. He said today: "The boats which sail from Seattle this month have full passenger lists, and any one who wants to go to the Klondyke must wait for the August boats. The Journey is 7,000 mll.s and most people do not realize what the Yukon country is. They will need a map to convince them that the country of the Yukon with its tributaries In Alaska and British America Is as largo as the whole United States east of the Mississippi; that It will take longer than a trip to Europe to reach the Be hrlng Sea and the mouth of the Yukon; that by the time they strike the Yukon the Alaskan arctic winter will be upon them. "By Sept. 25 the weather settles nnd the Yukon river is frozen solid until next May. The expense of getting from Chicago to Seattle Is $B0, and from Seattle to the Behrlng sea is $150. There will be thousands of western men who will go, but of course the coast people expect everything In their favor. One thing must be remembered that the Klondyke country Is In Brit ish domain and will be governed ac cordingly. Helena, Mont., July 20. Eleven thou sand four hundred ounces of gold from the Klondyke diggings in Alaska were received at the Assay office here last night via the Northern Pacific express from Seattle. Ten' thousand ounces were consigned to the American Na tional bank of this city and the bal ance to the Assay office. The Alaska shipment, in connection with about $30,000 received from placer mines. makes the total receipts at the Assay office about $230,000. San Francisco, July 20. The excite ment over the discoveries of gold In Alaska continues here, and when the steamer Excelsior leaves for St, Mich aels next Sunday she will carry all the miners' supplies she can hold. The Excelsior will be the last steamer to sail this year from San Francisco to connect with the Yukon steamers, but there Is already talk of chartering an other steamer to take up a crowd of miners. No more news from the Klon dyke regions will be received until the steamers leaving here and Seattle have returned. KLONDYKE OR DEER RIVER Some Interesting Geographical De tails About the New Placer Fields nnd About the Methods of Working. Ran Diego, Cat., July 20. An Inter esting letter, telling of the rocent trip of the steamer Excelsior to Alaska, has been written by Captain J. F. Hlg glns, of the steamer, lo a friend In this city. He says: "Tho word Klondyke means Deer river, and is called Rein deer river on the charts. It empties Into the Yukon fifty miles above tho Big river, Tho geographical position of the Junction Is 70 degrees 10 min. north latitude, 138 degrees CO mln. west longitude. Bonanzo creek dumps Into Klondyke about two miles above tho Yukon. Eldorado Is a tributary of tho Bonanzo. There are numerous other creeks and tributaries, the main river being 300 miles long. The gold so far hns been taken from Bonanzo and El dorado, both well named, for the rich ness of the placers Is truly marvellous. Eldorado, thirty mllesjong, is staked the whtde length, and as" far as worked has paid. "Ono of our passengers, who is tak ing $1,000,000 with him, has worked one hundred feet of his ground, nnd re fused $200,000 for the remainder, and. confidently expects to clean up $400,000 nnd more. He hns In a bottle $212 from one pan of dirt. His pay dirt while be ing washed averaged $230 an hour to each man shoveling1 in. Two others of our miners who' worked their own claims cleaned up $0,000 from the day's washing. There iu about fifteen feet of direct nbove bed rock, the, pay streak averaglnff from four to six feet, which Is tunnelled out .while tho ground Is frozen. Of courne, the ground taken out Is thawed by building fires, and when the thaw comes and water rushes In they set their sluices and wash the dirt. Two of our fellows thought a small bird in tho hand worth a large one In the bush, nnd sold their claim for $45,000, getting $4,500 down, tho re mainder to be paid In monthly Instal ments of $10,000 each, Tho purchasers had no more than '55,000 paid. They were twenty days thawing and getting out dirt. Then there was no water to sluice with, but ono fellow made a rocker, and In ten duya took out tho $10,000 for the first instalment. So, tunnelling and rockerlng, thf-y took out the $40,000 before there was water to Mulce with. "Of course, theso stories read like tins story of Aladdin, but fiction is not at nil In It with facts and nt Klondyke. The ground located and prospected can be worked out In a few years, but there Is still an immense territory untouched, and the laboring man who can get there with one year's provisions will have a better chance to make a stake than In any other part of the world."

This fact was brought to light yester day by the recital of the case of a ne gro woman who, having stolen a pair of cuff-buttons, was sentenced to a whipping ns a part of her punishment. The negress was marched to the premises of Judge Arthur Gray Powell nnd under his personal supervision un mercifully beaten, until the piteous cries nttrncted the attention of Sher iff Black, who rescued the unfortunate nnd ordered that the remainder of her sentence bo spent In Jail.

Falrbury, 111., July 20. An attempt was made three miles east of this city to wreck the Wabash pay car last night. The wreckers had placed rails and ties across the track, and It was a success as far as wrecking a train was concerned, but It was not tho pay train, but the regular east-bound pas senger, which preceded the pay car. The engine was disabled, in spite of the engineer noticing the wreckage In tirrte to come to a sudden stop. No ono was injured. This Is the second attempt to wreck the train between Forest and this city. A posse with bloodhounds went In pursuit of the wreckers, but no ac count of dnrkne3s the hunt was aban doned.

Another attempt will be made to take up the nomination to morrow. AN ENQLISH VIEW. London, July 21. The Standard says, editorially, this morning: "Mr. McKlnley has redeemed his pledge and has led tho country back lno the fnaze of ultra-protectionism, Europe survived the McKln ley tariff and will also survive the Dlngley tariff, which guarantees to England con tlmml' supremacy in tho over-seas carry ing' trade, and, therefore, Is likely to do us more good than harm, while tho pros pect for America Is further deficits, gold shipments, a fatiguing succession of strikes and panics and fanatics as polit ical saviours." ' THE TARIFF PLEASES M'KINLEY The President Expresses Himself as Highly Satisfied with It. HE REVIEWS IT WITH ALLISON The Lnttcr Predicts That the Mcnsttro Will Pass tho Senate Surely by To morrow Night, nnd Possibly Today, Tho Democrats Not Seriously Dis posed to Cnuso Delay. Washington, July 20. President Mc Klnley this morning expressed his hearty approval of tho tariff bill as it was reported by the conference com mittee yesterday. His belief Is that whatever Items In the bill fall short of fulfilling Republican Ideals are the effect of unavoidable compromises. The president expressed his opinion of the measure very frankly In a talk with Senator Allison this morning. The Iowa senator made an early call at the white house and remained with the president for a long time. He explained the work of the conference very fully and Impressed on Mr. McKlnley some of the greatest difficulties with which the conferees had contended. At the conclusion of the interview the president's indorsement of the measure was unqualified. It is not knawn what his views are with refer ence to particular schedules, least of all the sugar tariff, but It Is stated that he took time this morning to critically examine the decision on sugar In the light of Mr, Allison's explana tions. Mr. McKlnley expressed grati fication that the tariff bill has reached Its present stage In comparatively so short a time, and hoped that tho bill would not be long delayed in the sen ate. After the Interview with the presi dent, Senator Allison said: "The bill will surely pass the senate by tomor row night, and possibly today. Tho Democrats are not, I think, seriously disposed to delay flnnl action. The attack will be confined mostly to the questions of sugar, cotton ties, burlaps nnd bagging nnd these will be rather quickly disposed of, I believe." WOMAN'S VICTORY FOR RUSSIA.

Pittsburg, July 20. Tho attention of the mlrers of the Pittsburg district It now riveted on the Allison, Boone nnd Enterprise mines near Canonsburg, The Boone and Allison mines, which were closed yesterday by the owners to prevent trouble between their men nnd the marching strikers, resumed to day with nearly all full fcrce. No at tempt wan made to start up at the En terprise mine. The strikers fear that if theso mines continue In operation it will Induce the Enterprise men to go back to work. The programme of the strikers is to make another march on the Allison mine. The leaders said this afternoon that more than 2,000 diggers would he massed In the Pan Handle district and another march made on the mines. Tonight the miners of the Pan Handle district were gathering above Rrldgevllle and It will not bo surprising If one thousand miners are found on tho Washington pike In the morning. The men Inthe Millers and Toms Hun districts are Idle and have plenty of time to make another march. They were supplying themselves with several davs' rations, and If the pro posed march Is made they will stay abiiut the offending mines for several days. tip to a lato hour tonight no word re lating to a march had been received nt district headquarters. If the march is made tho time wilt be kept a secret. Just at 'this stage of the strike sen sational developments are expected. Tho men are beginning to feel the pang's of want, and are In a' condition bordering on desperation. It was lenrned today that organizers have been secretly at work among the miners of the New York and Cleve land Gas Coal company for several days. One ot them was served with an Injunction to remain off the com pany's property, and leave the men alone. He snld that he had been at work among the miners at Plum Creek, nnd expressed great hopes of being able to have them Join the general suspen sion. As near as can be learned a concerted effort will be made In the near future to bring out the men nt Turtle Creek, Sandy Creek and Plum Creek. Just what proceedure will be resort ed to has not yet been decided on. The officials feel that In order to make the strike a success In this district, these miners must be brought out. They ad mit that they have a difficult Job on their hands as DeArmltt's men seem determined to remain nt work. Tho mines are running to their fullest capacity, and are supplying a large quantity of coal to the trade. The coal market was quiet today. Much coal was offered at $1.25 a ton. Slack took a big Jump and sold for 85 cents a ton. Before the strike it was sold at 40 cents a ton. FIXINQ-WAOE SCALE. Labors of Amalgamated Association Committee nt Yonngstoun. Youngstown, O., July 20. The Amal gamated association wage scale com mittee wrestled all morning and until 3 o'clock In the afternoon over the ques tion of making concessions to the manufacturers, and as was evident from the final result of the conference, instead of deciding to accept any re duction of either of the finishers or puddlers' scales, they only tightened up their resolution to stand out for the 8calg;r -.l as adopted at the Detroit convention. At 6 o'clock this afternoon the Amal gamated association committee sent word that it was ready to meet the manufacturers who were In another room and then the two sides got to gether, tho first time since last night.

Washington, July 20. Tho tariff con ference report was presented to tho sennto today, but little progress was made on It beyond the formal reading of about two-thirds of the report. There wns no Indication of when tho. final vote would be reached. During" the day Mr. Tillman, Democrat, South Carolina, openly threatened a filibust er until next December If cotten bag ging and cotton ties wero not restored to the free list, but tho threat was re garded as somewhat facetious. Tho sugar amendments occasioned a Ions debate, during which Mr. Allison stat ed that the conference rates were low er than those of the senate, and large ly a concession to the house. Sena tors Vest, Jones, Berry and White questioned this statement, urging that the sugar trust secured larger bene fits from the conference schedule thnn from any previously offered. The lum ber amendment also brought out un. animated criticism from Senators Tel ler and Pettlgrew. When the amend ments restoring cotton bagging and cotton ties to the dutiable list was reached, thero was sharp protest from Senators Jones, Butler, Tillman and Bacon. Mr. Tillman expressed his In dignation at the sectionalism, which had Inspired the conference commit tee. He gave notice to southern sena tors that If they would stand by him they could hold the senate in session until next December rather than sub mit to this change. Mr. Bacon characterized the restor otlcn of cotton ties and cotton bagging to tho dutiable list as indefensible fa voritism of tho north against the south. Replying to the suggestion of Mr. Tillman, Mr. Butler said he stood ready to Join, In any movement to hold the senate In session for a week or longer to prevent the consummation of this iniquity against the south. "I will tell tho senator," called back Mr. Tillman, "that I am negotiating with the senator from Pennsylvania (Quay) for the speech by which ho stopped the last tariff debate and I may be ready to start on that speech tomorrow morning." CONFERENCE COMMITTEE CRITI CIZED. Mr, Teller criticized the conference committee for not carrying out the will of the senate. It was the first time, he said, that a committee had surrendered tho Interests of the senate without ask ing for instructions. He had reason to believe that members of the confer ence committee, supposed to represent the senate.hnd gone Into the confer ence and worthed against the senate amendment of white pine. Mr. Teller declared that the entire report should be rejected and sent to a committee representing the senate and carrying1 out Its instructions. Referring to tho bill as a whole the senator asserted that It was the meanest tariff ever en acted. At 5 o'clock Mr. White suggested an adjournment, but Mr. Allison would consent to this only In case of an agree ment to meet at 11 a. m. tomorrow. There were objections to this, and after much fruitless sparring the senate at 5.15 p. m., on motion of Mr. Allison, went Into executive session and then ndjourned. Early In tho day the sen ate passed a Joint resolution authoriz ing and requesting the president to take all necessary steps for the release of the Competitor prisoners from prison at Havana.
