Special Herald correspondence. PotTSVILLE, July 83, 1807. Indications aro not lacking to demonstrate that the truco between the contending fac tions of the Kopublioan party in this state is in lino with a general movement for harmony, for tho time being at least. If all signs fall not tho coming state convention will bo a tamo nlTalr, with no element of discord or contention to furnish any sensational features. It is harmouy everywhere, if wo except Schuylkill county. The hundred ami one Republican "leaders" of this county aro each laying their plans for tho groat contest ono year hence. , And these plans iueludo tho formation of now alliances among tho local leaders. This made plain in more, ways than one, to the closo .student of political history. Many of thoso who aro now apparently nt daggor's points, ono year bunco will lie working hand hand for their mutual benefit and political advancement. This is a prediction that I havo given expression to pnvatoly since tho In- tiguration of William McKinley, and I nmko public announcement with perfect confidence that tho statement will ho verified less than twelvo months honco, when thoso who now appear confident of their political futuro will find themselves relegated to tho rank and file. I was somewhat amused tho other day In reading the Philadelphia Inquirer, contain ing au editorial having a Dealing on Schuyl kill couuty politics. This Quay organ gavo out tho Information that Hon. Samuel A. Losch would bo a candidate for Congress next year. I do not know tho Inquirer's authority, nor its motive, but I do know that Sam. is not seek.ng troublo of that kind.

Hereafter Mlno Foremen Aro Itoqnlrpil to ho Cnroflil not to ISniploy Any lint Duly Qualified Miners. At the meeting of tho Miners' examining board, comprising tho throe snl-committee of the Sixth anthracite district, met in Shen andoah for the purpojo of exchanging views as to the best method of conducting their examinations. David Williams, of William 'enn, aud John Iteese, of Shenandoah, were appointed to formulate questions to lie asked those desiring to qualify themselves ns miners in the anthracite mines. The three sub-comniltteee adjourned to nicot in tho olllco of Mlno Inspector Stein to-morrow evening whou tho questions will bo rend and criticised before being approved t. Tlie sub-committees of the Sixth district ill strictly comply with the requirements of the new law. There h a penalty attached in case of a non-compliance with it, which is equally stringent against the mlno superin tendent, mlno foreman mid minor, as well as gainst the minors examining sub-committees. and it would be well that all concerned acquaint themselves with tho meaning of tho law. The superintendent or mlno foreman shall ot omploy any but thoso who havo been ex amined and duly qualified and prooorly registered by tho respoctivo sub-commlttces; not only so, but In caso of a removal from tho district in which a minor is registered it shall bo his duty to bo registered in tho district to which ho re moves, meaning that notwlthstendinc a miner is a holdor of a certificate which ho may havo recoivod in one inspection district. tho miue foreman of another iuspoction dis trict will violate tho law if he gives and allows him to work beforo ho has been prop- rly registered by tho Exaininiue Board into whose district he has removed. Should a miner lose his certificate aud mako applica tion to any of tho sub-committeos for a now ono, ho will bo required to produce ovidonco under oath that ho had obtained a certificate from somo Examining Board in the Authra cito regions, when tho Board will issue a uow certificate. conference with In Philadelphia this week ? And they were not Seventy-Sixers, either. Senator Durham, tho Quay leader of Phila delphia, and "Dick" Quay, wore in closo cou- flab with our Senatorial dignitary, aud wo can only sunniso what tho subject was they talked about In these dog days. It is safo to say, however, that it will "come out lu tho wash" beforo tho county convention con venes. Just keep your political eye on Sam ami sco which side of the fence lie lauds ou. Sneaking of tho Congressional nomination. it reminds me of a casual remark 1 heard a prominent politician from tho lower cud drop tho other day. At the time I paid llttlo attention to what was said, but since tlieu I have thought considerable about it becauso f the movemonts of a number of this gen tlcniau's friends. Ho said; "There's going to. bo tho hardest fight in this county next year that you over saw. Congressman Brumra will not havo plain bailing, and he will bo opposed hy ono who has a strong fol lowing and an clement that is a power in this couuty at his back. Tlie other contests will only add Interest to this fight. ' Asked whom ho referred to, he named ox-Senator Kcofor. To say that I was surprised is putting it mildly. Ho assured mc, however, that Kcnfcr is a full-fledged candidate, and will mako public announcement in due time. If this bo true, Don Cameron's cousin will find that ho has no novico when ho tackles Brumm for tho Congressional nomination, as others now realize to their sorrow. Tis true that tho dispensing of patronagoisan element of weakness where ono man is satisfied you disploaso ton or twenty others yet I opino that tho roan wuo enters tlo contest, whether it bo Keofer or spmo ono else, will know when it is over that ho was in a battle royal. And that is justwhat tho "boys" want. They de light iu nothing better than a heated contest. I somehow enjoy it niysolf. So "lay on Mac duff, etc." Tho county convention will ho called to gether on August 10th, and judging from present appearances the contest for tho plum now enjoyed by Shorn! Scott will attract many not dolcgatos to that convention. Tho leading candidates now aro Hestor Albright, of Orwigshurg, who has a strong following, aud Charles 0. Smith, of Mahanoy City, as jovial as he is big. Tho former was in your end of the county this week aud ho says lie is woll pleased with tho reception ac corded him. News reaches mo that Slienan d oali's two candidates that big town always baa a surplus of candidates will havo battle for supremacy. In tho meantime, tho other candidates are looking with longing eyes toward Shenandoah's ten delegates. In this connection it might ho well to keep an eyo on S. Itoll Ileddall, the present deputy Sheriff. His vote will surprise many. Previous to tho county convention, how ever, will take place contests In which th politicians are taking" more than usual interest, and that is the election of state delegates, on August 7th. Th only district In which thero seems to bo no chance of spirited contest is the Third. In tho others the friends of tho respective candidates are on tue bustle, especially is this true ot the First and Fourtli district, where several of the supposed loadors aro making a strong efi'ort to stem the tide that has set in ngaicut them. Many elements aro at work iu these two districts to mako the final outcome of doubtful nature, but somebody will meet their Waterloo. The contest in the First district'ls creating almost as much interest on court house hill as in your neighborhood. Here s a tip. Schuylkill countalns looking for big positions with bigger salaries will not get what they lire looking for. There will be no Consulate from tlfis couuty. Tho Senator from your district, it Is given out, lias a ban doned all hopes of going to lio Janerln aud now after a clerkship iu ono of tho depart ments at Washington. Thoro are interesting rumoriabout tho way post olllco are being pronied several people in tho same town, tho latter to deliver a cer tain number of delegates to the Legislative conventions for the election of state delegate. My information at this time is not Wlfflelunt authentic In one ur two instanoM, but in my next the subject may be ventilated thor oughly. X-IUv.

July 23. Excitement wng at fever heat in local coal miners' cir cles yesterday. The operators appar ently were-preparlnK for any demon stration, and before nightfall they were convinced that matters had taken a serious turn. Early In the morning about S00 miners from the Flnleyvllle district marched on the Bunola. mines. and succeeded in bringing out the men at work. Sheriff Lowrey, of this county, has a force of deputies ready for duty at a moment's notice, and trouble la looked for at any time. The deputies are In readiness to co to the mines ot the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company. A march on the Turtle Creek, Plum Creek and Sandy Creek mine is expected at any time. It was learned from reliable authority that such a march was In contemplation, but would not take place until the latter part of the week. The miners' leaders continue at work in an effort to persuade the miners in the Connellsvllle coko region to ston work, but dispatches from Unlontown and Dunbar Indicate that they are meeting with poor success. A Union town dispatch says the leaders are very much disheartened, and admit private ly that they have failed to create any strike sympathy. The -Redstone min ern, it Is claimed, will be back next week. Dunbar dispatches say there is very tittle probability that the coke region will become a factor In the Btrike. The new state taw to compel coal operntors to weigh the coal before It Is screened nnd to pay the miners on Its basis Is to bo tested to its fullest extent, and the whole uniformity agreement hinges on this test. A large number of oper ators are nutting in scales so as ta weigh the coal according to the new law, but others are preparing" to fight it. Among tho latter is W. P. DeArmltt, who says the law can be abrogated by tho right of private contract, and he Intends to test it by the contract he has with his men. He claims the miner has a rlsht to mine coal to be paid after screening", and that the operator can also pay the miner in this fashion. A member tnX arbitration com mission Bald Inst night" that the new anti-screening law would cutNi.qe;ure In the now agreement, and the "law would be thoroughly tested before It is Incorporated In the agreement. The arbitrators were at work among the Pittsburg operators yesterday, and they are trying every means to bring about a meeting of the operators. So far they have been unsuccessful in ar ranging for a meeting, but It Is .hoped to accomplish this shortly. Mayor Ford said yesterday that ho had not consented to call a meeting, and that he would not do so, although it had been suggested to htm that such a proceeding would be the best thing tc do under the circumstances. The second march on the Allison mine, operated by J. "W. H. Cook & S,ons, was made last evening by about COO strikers from Millers Hun and the Brldgevlllo district. The strikers reach ed tho coal tipple Just about dark, but were met- by a deputy- sheriff, who served an injunction on the leader, Andrew Ravage. After some parleying tlie men marched back a few hundred ards and camped in an open field. They are prepared for a siege of several days and seem contented ns lone as they can keep the mine closed. Tho managers say they will not attempt to operate tho mine until after the hearing on the Injunction which takes place tins aiternoon. A Wheeling dispatch says the miners at the Hogga mines refused to come out when requested by a committee of strikers to do so yesterday, and ar rangements are being made for a dem-1 onstratlon of strikers. While it is de-l clarcd to be a peaceful demonstration another refusal to come out may pre cipitate trouble. A Falrmount, W. Va., dispatch says: Armed deputy sheriffs of the county nowguard the Hlte mlneat Kings, three miles abov.e here, on the Tygarts Val ley river. The sheriff was called there yesterday afternoon, as the operators feared an outbreak, but no arrests were made. Early In the morning the drivers at that mine Joined the strikers as a result of the efforts of Crawford Tem ple, a Monongah miner, who, since Joining the union, has proved as effici ent a missionary as the organizers could desire. The operators secured new drivers In an hour, and at noon over half of the miners came out. Then the geoond lot of drivers threw up their positions, and some of the men began stoning the miners who were f-.i-eed to leave their work and who had as sembled In front of tlie mine. Itolf Hlte, the superintendent, soon had his Win chester in his hands, and three shots quenched the enthusiasm ot all the strikers but one, who made for Hite with a pick, but he was driven oft at the point ot a revolver. The oper ators, however, feared another out break, and called on the county offi cials for aid. "At our conference," said President Ratcliford last night, "It was decided to give the Falrmount district more attention, as we feel confident that the miners can be gotten out. I speak at Monongah this afternoon, and at Falrmount tonlsht." Come and see the monster crock, 30 gallons, the largest ever brought to Shenandoah. The BEE-HIVE 29 SOUTH MAIN STREET. Near Post Olllco.
