THOUSANDS Of COIL MINERS 0111.
WANT LIVING WAGES.
Coal Inpply Threatened Railroads Conneat
ing all the Foel In Bight
One" hundred and fifty thousand
miners In the states of Went Virginia,
Illinois. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indi
ana are now striking for higher wages.
Operators are becoming timid and
there Is a general belief that the coal
supply will soon be exhausted.
The miners are receiving sympathy
from organized labor throughout the
entire country. Thua far there have
been no arts of violence reported, al
though United Htates marshals are
present at some of the mines.
The railroads are commencing to con
fiscate coal upon their tracks, no mat
ter to whom the fuel In consigned.
The railroads do this by virtue of be
ing carriers of United States Mall.
At R meeting held In Pittsburg a few
days ago. M. I). Hatchford, president
of the I'nlted Miners, reported that the
strike was general, with the exception
of the West Virginia field, and that un
less the West Virginia miners can be
got out the strike would be a failure.
It was said that the organization of
the miners of West Virginia was neces
sary; that hundreds of organizers
should he thrown Into the mining vil
lages of the Mountain state to preach
the gospel of unionism to the belated
miners who were injuring themselves
and their fellow miners by working at
this critical time.
The arbitration hoards of Ohio, In
diana and Illinois had requested Gov.
Hastings, of Pennsylvania, to assist
them In settling the coal miners strike.
Gov. Hastings refused on the ground
that neither the operators nor the
striking miners had requested him to
act In such capacity.
Shrewd operators at New York who
were expecting the strike and got a
corner In coal stand In a fair way to
make a fortune. Advices from titles
of the middle west confirm the Impres
sion In speculative circles here that the
coal market Is being played for all It Is
worth.
In the Pittsburg district the price at
the mines has alrfady Jumped from 7fic
to $1.50 n ton. A. M. Hlmlman. of the
Washington Coal & Coke company,
said that some of the Pittsburg operat
ors were doing an extensive brokerage
business in West Virginia coal.
There Is more coal on hand than Is
generally reported. Many long railway
sidings are tilled with loaded cars.
These will not be released until the de
sired advance Is secured. New York Is
not afraid of a, coal famine, as hard
coal Is burned there almobt exclusively.
POOR ARMENIA.
The Turks Quietly Massacreing too Unfortu
nate Race-Have Given Up Hope.
According to a printed report, the
Turks in Armenia, fearing Kuropean
Intervention, have abandoned the old
practices of wholesale massacre, but
during the last year there have been
clandestine butcheries and most terri
ble persecutions, especially In the more
remote provinces. The Turks openly
boast that they have sworn to wipe
out the whole Armenian race.
The document recites In detail vari
ous forms of persecution. It appears
that the tax collectors seize the In
habitants If they do not pay everything
demanded. "Women are taken through
the streets with chains uround their
necks and kept for days-without food.
In some cases they arc fastened to pil
lars, head downwards. Freezing water
Is thrown over them, or they are beaten
until the blood runs. In other cases,
their hands are tied tiVhlhf their' Itacks
and then cats, first made furious, are
thrown upon their bosoms. Often they
are burned In various parts of their
bodies with redhot Irons.
"All the highways are guarded so as
to prevent emigration. Not a single
day passes without one hearing of or
witnessing somewhere within our un
fortunate provinces some act of fiend
ish cruelty. The Turks and Kurds en
ter the houses of Armenians In gangs
nnd commit fiendish outrages."
The document concludes with the de
spairing cry, "Our hope Is dying out.
Cod help us. May Europe have pity
upon us."

THE TARIFF Bill FIKILLT PISSED.
BONDS TAXED.
IU Week! of Diseossioa Ess nits 1b a lew
Seveace Xeasnre.
By the decisive vote of 38 to 28 the
tariff bill was passed In the. senate
Wednesday. The culmination of the
long and' arduous struggle had excited
the keenest Interest, and the floor and
galleries of the senate chamber were
crowded by those anxious to witness
the closing scene.
An analysis of the final vote shows
that the affirmative was cast by thirty
live Republicans, two sliver Republic
ens, Jones of Nevada and Mantle, and
one Democrat, McEnery. Total, 38.
The negative vote was cast by twenty-five
Democrats, two Populists,
Harris of Kansas and Turner, and one
sliver Republican, Cannon. Total, 2H.
Eight Republicans were paired for the
bill and eight Democrats against It.
The senators present and not voting
were: Populists, five, viz.: Allen, Butler,
Heltfeld, Kyle and Steward: silver Re
publicans two, Teller and Pettlgrew.
One of the most Important new pro
visions added by the senate Is that
placing a Btamp tax on bonds, deben
tures and certificates of stock. Aside
from these more Important changes,
the bill, as it goes back to the house,
has 874 amendments, of various de
grees of importance, which must be re
conciled between the two branches of
congress.
The tariff debate began on May 25, on
which day Mr. A Id rich. In behalf of the
finance committee, made the opening
statement on the bill. The actual con
sideration of the bill began the next
day. May 26, when schedule A, relating
to chemicals was taken up. The de
bate has been continuous since then,
covering six weeks and one day. It has
been notable in some respects, although
it has lacked many of the dramatic and
oratorical features marking past de
bates. From the outset the advocates
of the bill refrained from set speeches,
and the discussion was narrowed to a
consideration of rates and schedules
rather than general principles. Alli
son has been in charge.
Mr. Aldtich's Illness took him from
the chamber after the first day, and
since then the hill has been in immedi
ate charge of Mr. Allison. The opposi
tion has been directed In the main by
Mr. Jones of Arkansas and Mr. West
of Missouri, while Senators White, Caf
fery, Gray and Allen have frequently
figured in the debate. The bill, as it
goes back to the house, re-enacts the
anti-trust sections of the Wilson act,
while the reciprocity and retaliatory
provisions are substituted for those of
the house.
Representatives of the House and
Senate are now In conference trying to
reach nn agreement on the new tariff.

will draw $2,000;
Senator Harris Dead.
Senator Isham O. Harris, of Tennes
see, died at his home in Washington
Thursdny. He had been ill for some
time. Probably no man In public life
hud been Identified with more of
the history of this country than had
Senator Harris. He had almost com
pleted his 7!tth yesr, having been born
In Tennessee In February, 1818, and first
became a member of congress In 1 S41.
His congressional career thus began
earlier than that of any member of
either house, antedating Senators Mor
rill and Sherman by seven years and
Hon. Galusha A. Grow, now a member
of the house from Pennsylvania, by one
year.
Not Much Money Uied.
Consul-General Lee's report to the
htate department regarding the distri
bution of rations, costing 25 cents each,
to destitute Americans In Cuba, shows
that up to this time only $6,000 of the
$fo,000 appropriated by congressional
resolutions have been required, and
that he still has funds on hand to last
several months. Very little money has
been used to return Americans to this
country, although it was expected that
numbers would take advantage of the
opportunity afforded by congress for
free transportation from the plague
ridden Island this summer.
Would Increase tbo Rovenuo.
Secretary Gage has written a letter
to Senator Allison, suggesting the ad
visability of putting a tax of 1 cent a
pound on all refined sugar made from
slock Imported prior to the passage of
the pending tariff bill. It Is the opinion
of the custom officials of the treasury
that this duty would Increase the gov
ernment revenues by several millions,
and that the hardship would fall on
those best able to bear It. What action
the senate committee will take on the
suggestion is not known.

meeting In the big hall was the singing
of "Throw out the Life Line," by some
of San Francisco's uniformed police
men. On Monday the convention meetings
came to a close. They were the most
successful ever held. After the ad
journment the delegates spent the time
making excursions to the famous re
sorts with which California abounds.

TO SEIZE HAWAII.
The American Flag to be Raited on the Island,
Should Japan Interfere.
A special dispatch from Washington
to the Chicago "Times-Herald" says:
"The administration has taken steps
to keep its grip on Hawaii. Any ag
gressive Interference on the- part of
Japan will result In the landing of ma
rines and the hoisting of the American
flag, with or without the ratification of
the pending annexation treaty. The
administration, realizing that Bomo
crisis might arise while the treaty still
hangs fire In the Senate, have taken
stepB to be prepared for any emer
gency. Rear Admiral Bardsley will
have, when the next steamer arrives In
Honolulu, Instructions giving him
power to act at the first sign of aggres
sion on the part of Japan or trouble of
any kind with which local authorities
are not able to cope. Rear Admiral
Biardsley will be given sufficient force
to carry out the programme that events
may force upon him.
"It is definitely settled that the bat
tleship Oregon, now en route to San
Francisco from Seattle, will be dis
patched to Hawaii as Boon as she can
be prepared for the voyage. This will
give Admiral Heardsley three vessels
the Oregon, Philadelphia and Marlon.
Japan has at present but one vessel In
the harbor of Honolulu the cruiser
Naniwa, She has another cruiser at
San Francisco, awaiting orders which
may take her to the Hawaiian Islnnds."

Warship on the Way.
HIb majesty, the sultan of Morocco,
Is to be coerced by American cruisers
In order that Just punishment may be
Inflicted on two of his subjects, who
assaulted an American citizen. The
cruisers San Francisco and Raleigh are
now on their way to Tanglers at the
request of Consul General David N.
Burke, who asked for the warships be
cause the Moorish government had ig
nored his request that the assailants
of the American be punished. Admiral
Selfrldge. who is aboard the San Fran
cisco, will take such steps as are neces
sary for the punishment of the crim
inals and the adequate protection of
Americans and their interests.
Must Have Onr Hops.
It Is altogether likely that the sur
plus stock of hops in the United States,
held principally by brewers, will have
some serious inroads made into It this
year for export to England, because of
the smallncss of the crop there, the av
erage being the smallest known In 20
years. Louis R. Searles, one of the
large dealers In New York State and
Pacific coast hops, says that even with
the most favorable crop reports In
England that can possibly be made
there must be large importations from
the continent and the United States,
and the brewers will be obliged to use
up considerable of their surplus of
two years ago.
On the Brink of Chasm.

Queen Victoria, Emperor William,
Emperor Nicholas, President Faure and
King Humbert have replied to the tel
egrams received by them from the sul

sent by Emperor Francis Joseph that
he give up Thessaly.
Emperor William says In substance
that he regrets his inability to dissoci

of the Turkish government to the pow

Turkish pretensions.
The porte has sent another circular
to the powers, proposing that. In view

A few days ago the Porte dispatched,
a circular to its representatives abroad,
containing a skillful defense of th
Turkish case and declining to consider
any frontier line in Thessaly north of
the River Peneios, which it regards a

test the alleged concert of Europe to
the utmost. On Monday he summon
a council of Ministers for an extraof.
dlnary sitting to the Yildls Kiosk, with,
the result that after a heated dlscussltl(l
