Stanley Wntcrloo, tho newspnper

asked him whether ho could have a
book on tho Coxey movement rendy
for press in four days. Mr. Water
loo being a well-equipped journalist,
full of resonrces, nud knowing not the
word "fail," said he conhl This was
on a Monday morning. The publishor
snid "go ahead," and gave him carte
Llonce as to expenses. A staff of writ
ers wns organized, specialists were en
gaged for the historical part of the
work, photographers took tho field,
typewriters clicked day and night.and
Mr. Waterloo himself hardly ate or
slept The result was that on the fol
lowing Thursday night tho "copy" for
a book of over a hundred thousand
words with forty illustrations was in
the handB of tho printor.
In studying tho statistics of manu
factures just issued by tho census bu
reau what strikes one most forcibly,
observes W. E. Curtis in the Chicago
Record, is the consolidation of inter
ests. In nearly all lines of manufac
ture the capital engaged, the number
of men employed, the amount of raw
matorial used and the value of tho
product have been largely increased
dring the last ten years, but there
has been no corresponding increase in
tho number of establishments, and in
a great many cases tho number is
much smaller than it was ten years
ago. There were, for example, 1,943
factories making agricultural iinplo
inonts in 1880, whilo in 1890 there
wore only 900. The carpet mills de
creased from 195 to 173, the chomical
works from 592 to 603, tho cooper
nhops from 8,898 to 2,052, the cordage
and rope works from 1G5 to 140, the
cotton factories from 1,005 to 905, tho
flour mills from 24,3:18 to 18,470, the
fron and steel mills from 1,005 to C45,
the tanneries from 5,424 to 1,590, the
distilleries from 844 to 440, the brew
cries from 2,191 to 1,248, the lumber
mills from 25,708 to 21,011, the
paper mills from 092 to 5G7, the
ship yards from 2,118 to 1,010, tho
sonp nnd candle factories from C29
to 578, tho tobacco factories from 477
to 395, the woolen mills from 2,000 to
1,454. At the same time the product
of all those industries has very largely
increased in many cases two, three,
four and five hundred per cent. Nor
is tho value of the prod not in 1890, as
compared with the value in 1880, a
fair oriterion of measurement, for the
reason thut everything is cheaper now
than it was ten years ago. There is
scarcely an article produced in the
United Mates that cannot be pur
chased at a lower price now than thon.
It is unfortunate that the census of
ficials did not make thoir estimate by
quantities instaad of by values. It is
also noticeable thut while the produc
tive capacities of the United States
have inoreuHed more than 100 per
cent, during the last ten years, tho
population has increased only about
25 per conk Tlie grent iuoreaso in

the meeting should refuse to send a commit

nnv tlmo to meet tho miners Individually.
Other substitutes and motions followed in
onivk sueeesslou which were lost on the air,
while four or flvo members were on their feet
clamoring for recognition.
Tho turmoil resulted in a withdrawal ol

MINERS AGREE TO SETTLE
The Executive B?ard Decide Upon
Prompt Action.
The most roprosentntlve meeting of miners
ever held in tho country took place nt Colum
bus, O., Tuesdny, in answer to tho call of
President Mcllrido, of tho United Mine
Workrri, representatives lielng present from
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama,
Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas and Indian
Territory. Tho condition of the country and
tho coal trade was taken Into consideration
and after considerable discussion tho follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Whereas, It Is evident that a natlonnl con
vention of operator and miners cannot le
had for tho purpose of effecting n general
settlement of the present differences IctwiN'n
them over mining rntes to be paid for the
next year, and,
Whereas, Operators In nearly nil district
haw expressed a willingness to meet within
(heir respective districts tho representatives
of the miners for the purpose of adjusting
laid prlcoj therefore,
Hesolved, Thnt wo, tho member of tho
National Executive Hoard and district presl
lents, to whom was delegated the power to
et for tho miners by the last convention of
L'nlteil Mine Workers of America, declnro
our willingness to meet with the operators
of mines, In tho various districts, to attempt,
and if possible effect, a settlement of the
mining price.
The resolution was opposed by both Presi
dent Mcllrido nnd Secretary Mclirido. Inas.
much as they havo all along declared that
they would consent only to a national settle
ment of the strike, the resolution looks very
much like a confession that the minors are
beaten.
DYNAMITE UNDER A TRAIN.
Indiana Strikers Planned Sudden Death
lor Militiamen.
Striking miners put four pounds of dyna
mite on the Evnusville ft Terre Haute track
near Farmersburg, IS miles sout of Terre
Haute, Ind., nni 15 minutes latter a train
containing five coaches and 800 militiamen
came along. The front wheels of the engine
brushed the percussion fuse from the track,
and one of the most sensational casualties in
the state was averted. The dynamite party
consisted of 12 men, who were waiting near
by to see the result of their work. When the
train passed over the fuse safely they scattcd
and started across tho fields. The troops
had been engaged In a brush with the minors
half an hour before, and llrlgadler McKee,
suspecting a trick bad the train bailed.
Companies of soldier from Jeffersonvlllo,
Vlncenncs and Terre Haute were sent after
the retreating miners, nnd several soldiers
came within a hundred yards ot some of
them.
One miner fired twice nt Major T. C. Stnn
kard, of the First Iteglment, nnd the major
emptied his revolver, Some of the soldiers
flred at the dynamiters. As it had been re-
f lotted that 600 miners were massed in the
ocnlily, the troops were called back to their
train. Charles Kesslck, of Company "A" of
Vlncenncs, lost his hat in Jumping from the
train In pursuit of the party of 12 and when
he stopied to pick it up bciddo the
track be saw the four pound sticks of the ex
plosive with fuses. They were taken to Gen
eral McKee and Assistant Adjutant Frank,
who by examination confirmed the na ure ot
the st lift. The dynamite had been placed nn
the track whore it crosses the first trestle
south of Farmersburg, nnd it seemed to be
the intention of the parly to make the explo
sive effective in destroying a portion of the
train by the shock and in wrecking the re
mainder ot it by ditching It over the shatter
ed trestle.
FIFTEEN MEN DROWNED.
They' Were Coxeylte Desoenllns; the
Platte River.
At least IS members of the Denver contin
gent of Coxey's army lost their Uvea by
drowning in the Dntta Ttlver at ISrighton, Col.
Four bodies have been washed ashore. The
others were carried down the river. One
man found drowned nt Brighton has boon
Ideiitilled us Charles McCuuo, a Missourlan.a
member ol tho Utah contingent.
The Coxevites started off H00 strong in 20
boats which had been kullt of light mater
ial. The storms had swollen tho stream,
aud a very high wind made navigation ex
tremely dangerous. It was McKays bridge,
six miles above Brighton, thnt unused the
most trouble. The Hood poured under it with
tho spevd of a mill nice, and there, hidden by
the stream, were bnrls'd wires stretched
across to prevent stock from passing under
tho bridge at low water. The wire caught
many of the boats uud overturned them.
About 250 men are now encamped beside
the river at Brighton drying thulr clothes and
recuperating. A large number of men sieut
the night iu the trees along the bunks of the
river, uud several wore left on Islands. A
searching party was sent out to help these
men.
The men claim thut Commodore Higginson
wus drunk uud lucking all the essential qual
ities of a leader. They attribute the disaster
to his mismanagement The Coxeyltes will
make no further attempt to go east by water.

RIOTING AT MIEESPORT.
A MOB OF 10,000 GATHERED.
Drive ont Non-Union Men, Destroy
Property, Burn Coal Tipples
and Run the City.
At McKoosport the attempt of the National
Tube Works Company (.start Its great mills
Tuesday, filled the ell ywith riot and vio
lence. All day long the mills, which nre
near the center of the city, were surrounded
by a frenzied mob of perhaps 10,000 men.
They kept tho few workmen prisoner until
nightfall, and then, when the men lnld tried
to escape tojtheir homes, more thi n a score
of them were badly beaten.
The police fon-e of tho city and of thotnbe
works were 1 e pies In tho hands of the wild
mob. Several police officers wera roughly
handled. The town at midnight was com
paratively quiet. The Mayor rend a procla
mation In tho evening, commanding all
persons to disperse to their homo.
The tubs works were not prepared for nn
sssnult from a mob. No high fence encloses,
tho grounds. Tho mills are open on all aide
nnd when the yelling foreigners atdnrk made
a dash for tho interior there was nothing to
oppose them.
Wcdnesdny the riotous scones continued
nnd there was no abatement of tho hot temper
ol tho mob that seemed to bo in possession of
tho town. Tho entire lty appeared to lie In
sympathy with the striking tube workers, and
no attempt was made to stop them. The
rioting and abuse of the men who returned to
work Tuesday was followed by tho burning of
coal tipples, the destruction of property nnd
the driving ont of men employed at tho
Dr.quesno Tubo Works.
Whilo the strikers eom to have perfected
no general organization, they take up with
any leader that presents himself, and it only
needs the word to set them oft on the lawless
undertaking thnt Is proposed.
Tho closing of the saloons by tho Mayor has
licen regnrded as an excellent move by the
citizens, a it Is certain If tho men had been
able to procure liquor there would have been
no limit to the destruction of property.
Tno ranks of the mob continued growing
every hour, as mnny of the striking eoal min
ers from tho surrounding country camo
marching into tho town to lend their assist
ance In preventing any attempt to start the
mills. Every railroad and higbwny running
In was guarded by bodies of strikers, who
kept n el. o watch for deputle or special of
ficer. Numerous rumors reached the town
that officers were on their way to tho sceno
of tho disorder, nnd they were invariably fol
lowed by tho wildest uproar.
Oreat crowds took to tho roads over which
they wero said to ho coming, and prepared to
give them a desperate light.
A great majority of the men wore armed
with revolver, but did not carry them openly.
Oenernl Vice President and General Man
ager Converse, of tho National Tulie Works,
in an interview placed the loss of the com
pany at 410,000. Ho said tills had been
caused by the shutting down of the gas pro
ducer by tho strikers. He said this allowed
1H of the groat underground furnaces to cool
down too rnpidly aud in consequence they
bad cracked.
Wodnesday a few hundred of tho strikers
abandoned guard duty at the tube works
long enough to cross the liver and destroy
two coal chutes on the opposite side. Tho
same party wont to Duquesne and compelled
the men nt work there to eloso down the mill
but no other violence wns offered. A mora
exciting day was never knewn to tho people
McKeesport. Tho crowd that formed a human
wall about the SO acres of works, extended
back in every direction through the adjacent
streets, completely blocking them. A shout
of laughter, or an alarm of the approach of a
suspicious stranger, would start nn uproar
that was positively alarming, and while the
gathering shouted, it would sway bock and
forth like a forest in a heavy wlnX
Mnyor James Z. Andre Issued a proclama
tion which was posted throughout the cltyt
"All good citizens who are in favor of
maintaining law and order In the City of
McKeesport, are invited to assemble
at the Mayors office at 7 o'clock
this evening and be sworn in as special
officers. The present conditions demand
that the regular police force be assisted In
enforcing tho luws of tho city and Common
wealth." Not a solitary individual responded
to tho call.
