QUAY HOT A CANDIDATE.
The Senator ItepenU Ills Stutement That
He Will Itctlre From 1'ubllfi 1.1 To.
Washington, July 0 Senator Quay, of
Pennsylvania, when asked concerning the
statement that ho would retire from public
life at tho close of his term, said ho was not
making an official announcement that ho
would not bo a candidate for re-election, but
unless ho changed his mind ho would not
remain longer In tho Senate
Asked about tho rumor at Washington last
evening Senator Quay replied : "I havo not
said and I will not say that I will not be a
candidate for ro-elcction. I said that I did
not feel liko it now, but it is a long timo be
fore I shall have to face the question in a
practical way."
Associates of tho Senator recall that ho
has frequently wished himself out of public
lifo when depressed by poor health or a par
ticularly trying situation. Ifo has, howevor,
always changod his mind wheu ho felt bettor.
They agreo that after the European trip,
which ho Is expected to take for a complete
rest from politics and busiuoss, ho will be as
well as over and will probably consent to let
liis namo bo used again for re-election. Sen
ator Quay is not yet 01 years old, and It Is
bolioved that a good rost will restoro him to
his old-timo form.
Tux Upon Aliens.
The County Commissioners are In receipt
of a letter from James E. Barrett, Deputy
Secretary of tho Commonwealth, with ref
erence to tax upon aliens. The state does not
derivo any boncflt from this tax, as one-half
of It goes to the schools of tho county, the
other to tho counties themselves. "It is our
intention, however," continues Mr. Barrett,
'to prepare a form In conformity with tho
act and furnish It to tho Commissioners of
each county. This will be douo within the
next two or three weeks, which will bo soon
enough for all practical purposes." When
theso blanks itvu the Commissioners' office,
it is likely copies of the sarpo will bo sent to
parties employing such labor.

TARIFF BILL Uf CONFERENCE.
Jfo Objections Mmlo by tlio Democrats
In tlio Hoiiho.
Washington, July 9. The house yes
terday sent the tariff bill to confer
ence. Messrs. Dlngley, Payne, Dalzell,
Hopkins and Grosvenor, Republicans,
nnd Bailey, McMillan and Wheeler,
Democrats were appointed conferrees.
The proceedings were In no wise sen
sational. This action was taken by
means of a special order brought .In
from the committee on rules, The
minority made no objection to It, but
protested because tho majority re
fused In advance to enter Into an
agreement as to the length of time to
be allowed for debate when the bill la
reported back by the conferees. They
also attempted to make some political
capital out of the refusal of the mi
nority to permit action on the -Ci.an
belllgerancy resolution and the bank
ruptcy bill.
The session of the senate was un
eventful, the deficiency appropriation
bill being considered throughout the
day. Among Its provisions Is one ac
cepting the Invitation of France to
partlclpaie In the Paris exposition of
1900. During the day Mr. Berry, of
Arkansas, offered a resolution requir
ing the president to demand of 'Spain
the release of Ona Melton, one of the
Competitor prisoners. The resolution
was referred to the committee on for
eign relations.

that the amount of coal dun yesterday
on the Wheeling division of the Balti
more and Ohio railroad would not fill
one Hat car. such a complete shutdown
an exists In this district eo soon after
the Inauguration of the strike Is ad
mittedly a surprise to those livlne In
that section. A number of miners were
at work Wednesday, the majority of
them In the pits of the Pittsburg and
Chicago Gas Coal company, at Snow
den and Gastonvllle, but yesterday It
Is doubtful It the diggers at work along
the whole line would number 50, all of
these at the Qastonvllle pit of the
Pittsburg - and Chlcaco company. A
careful review of the situation proves
the assertion of the miners' olllcials
that he Wheeling division Is solidly ad
vocating the strike. All the mines
above Flnleyvllle Anderson, Germanla,
Ilnckett, Eclipse and Nottingham are
completely tied up. Five cars were
loaded at the Germanla Wednesday,
but It was with coal which had been
lying on the dump since work was sus
pended last Friday.
The Coal bluff mine of the J, M. RIs
Kcr company, employing 1B0 men, was
entirely Idle yesterday. The big first
pool mines of the Itobblns company
were completely closed. There was a
doubt as to whether or not the Slavs
would return to work after their holi
day Tuesday, but this has been dis
pelled and the foreigners seem as en
thusiastic as any on the strike ques
tion. Miners along the line have been
anxiously watching the diggers of the
Pittsburg & Chicago company at Cas
tonviile and Snowden. Up till yester
day it was a matter of doubt whether
or not they would come out. Vague
rumors of Jthe Flnleyvllle diggers
threatening to pull them out were
Hunting around, but were not believed
to have much foundation. The com
pany, though, was prepared for any
move of the kind, and notices were
posted warning all not concerned with
the working of the mines to keep off
the property. It Is also said that they
had a number of special guards on
hand to watch the-movelnents of the
men.
These men have all Wen Ivorklng un
der the Ironclad agreement, and as this
meant a forfeiture of 10 per cent, of
their wages, held back by the firm
since the Hist of the year, if they vol
untarily quit work, the strikers were
In doubt as to whether they could be
Induced to Join the movement. At a
meeting held Wednesday night, how
ever, it was decided to come out for the
district rate, and yesterday the mines
were practically idle. By their action.
It Is said, the men w tlllose nearly
$8,000 In percentages.
The miners' olllcials were elated over
their success on the Wheeling division.
The mines In that section have with
out doubt caused the olllcials not a
little worry, for much coal for the Ohio
Pennsylvania trade could have been
shipped out ofthere had the miners re
mained at work, and it would have
very seriously Interfered with the gen
eral suspension. It la reported that
the operators on this division have ad
vertised for men to 1111 the places of
the strikers. If this Is true, and an at
tempt is made to resume with non
union men, it is feared there will be
serloue trouble. It Is not likely, how
ever, that a sufficient number of men
can be gotten together to start the
mines.
The miners on the Wheeling. d(lslon
apparently have no fear In regard to
the length of the strike. A large num
ber of thsm were asked how long the
strikers dould stand without suffering
from want. One und all were firm In
the belief that all could "scratch along"
for several weeks nil right. "Well." re
plied a digger In answer to n question,
"the man who owns the pit I work In
said once, when we had some trouble
with him and went out, that the miners
could live on weeds in the summer,
and I guess we can. Any way, we are
willing to try for a right smart spell."
About one-third of the full quota of
diggers were at work at the Pan Han
dle mines of M. A. Hanna & Co. This
Is an Increase over Wednesday, and is
due to the fact that the firm posted a
notice to the effect that If the men did
not return to work yesterday the money
due them on their Ironclad contracts
would be retained. The amount, Is la
said, aggregates $4,000.
The net result of the struggle up to
date, as gleaned from unbiassed as
well as from partisan sources, is about
as follows: Nineteen thousand men
idle, an almost total suspension of
work In the mines along the Mi aoiiga-
hela. river; suspension practically to
tal on the Wheeling division of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, only about
60 men working there; all of the rail
road mines closed down, with the ex
ception of the II. A. Hanna & Co.
mines along the Pan Handle, the New
York & Cleveland Gas Coal company
and a few Individual mines, which can
have but little effect upon the situa
tion. lltokert's Uafu,

. Don't get rattled 011 the?,
price, rice isn't thu only
thing w'.ien you buy goods.
Sometimes the things that cost
most in the beginning are the
cheapest in the end. Our goods
don't cost much more at first,
but the cheapness is apparent
for all times to come., It's a
fact.though, in this queer flf
of ours, that price is the only'
thing that the smaller it is the
more attention it attracts. We
havea.lot of new GROCERIES
and the prices are very small.
