In ih"lr loonssi.
At Camp Dett rndna Uu It was re
I'iM ttd that every one of the miners of
ttit- New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
inpaiiy ho ha1 gone to work was la
syiiiputhy with the movement and only
thi'lr signatured to a contract prevented
thun ftom utayin? out. The miners are
satisfied with the progrefH they have
made. They claimed that the offending
mines were nearer to suspension today
than they have he en since the strike
was Inaugurated and are Jubilant over
the work they have done.
Mm All U"lt.
Peace and order Beem to he th
watt hword of the strikers. They real
ize that they have the sympathy of the
public and If they lose It their cause will
net a black eye. At the headquarters
"f the miners' offlrlnlp In this city there
were many callers during the day.
Proffers of aid were numerous, and the
majority did not wish the public to
know of their sympathy.
The miners officials have retained W.
J. Llrennan to defend them at the hear
ing" before Justice Semmes at Turtle
CieeV this afternoon. They are charg
cd with riot and unlawful assemblage.
It is expected that there will be some
fine points of law discussed. Attorney
Hoi Heheyer will appear on behalf of the
prosecutors.
Th'-re are close upon 2.000 strikers In
camp at Turtle Creek, 350 at Plum
Creek and 00 at Sandy Creek. If this
number is not sufficient to deter the De
Arinitt miners from groins to work, all
these camps will be largely Increased
before the end of the week.
Arrangements are being made for the
big meeting on the wharf Thursday
night. It promise to be the largept
demonstration of the kind ever held in
this city. Eugene V. Debs and Mis.
Mary G. Jones will be the stellar at
tractions among the speakers. Mayor
Ford was asked by the men to preside
over the meeting, which Invitation he
emphatically declined on the ground
that he was acting neutrally In the
strike question.
The arrival of Brigadier General John
A. Wiley of the Second brigade, N. O.
P., in the city and his conference with
lo- al officers of the guard gave rise to
the story that he was here to arrange
for the transportation of the troops to
De Armltt's mines. When told of the
rumors ailoat. General Wiley said: "I
am here on personal matters only, and
my visit has no connection with the
Poeond brigade or the national guard.
I have not consulted with any military
officers. Neither do I expect to, and
there Is no necessity for such a move."
Guards Unnecpftnrr.
The general Is satisfied that the strike
will bo settled ylthout the calling out
of the guard and said that so long as
there is no outbreak the sheriff will
be able to control the situation, and
from tho present condition of affairs the
strikers will romaln peaceable until the
end.
Tho district mining officials have been
In the city arranging tho details fnr the
continuance of the camps at thf Fe Ar-
mltt mines. They were elated over the
change that has been worked In the
situation, and President Dolnn la the
authority for the statement that tb
entire New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal company interests have been
! fought to a standstill.
Secret ai v Warner Is exoprienriiifr
great difficulty in getting provisions.
The demand for bread is so great that
the local bakeries were unable to meet
the orders placed. As a re-BUlt, the camp
at Plum Creek will be short on rations.
In speaking of the situation President
Dolan said:
"The entire success of the movement
mow depends upon the order maintain
ed In the camps. We havt demon
strated to De Armltt that his men were
not Invulnerable. When I left the mines,
his entire Interests were at a standstill.
The New York and Cleveland company
has given up all hope of operating the
Bandy Creek mines, while those at
Plum Creek and Turtle Creek are so
badly crippled that there are not enough
men to get out a car of coal. These
statements are not based upon the Idle
talk of the men, but upon personal ob
servation. Mr. De Arinitt undoubtedly
recognises that the strike situation Is
gradually assuming a favorable aspect
for the men and that If order can be
preserved his defeat Is certain."
De Armltt I Confident.
Mr. Ds Armltt Is confident the slrlk
ers cannot wholly shut down his nil nee
and avers that a change will come over
the scene within the next few days,
although he does not say how this Is to
be brought about. Mr. De Armltt In
tlmat4 that he would soon spring the
Injunction against the miners which was
granted May 2'-. 1M5, and which was
sustained by the supreme, court after
the superior court had reversed the
lower court. This injunction, which
was Issued against John Cairns, Cam
eron Miller, Patrick Dolan, Owen Cruse,
William Warner and other, was made
perpetual and restrains the defendants
from assembling and encamping upon
the highways, roads and premises ad
Joining the mines of the plaintiff or In
the vicinity of the same for the pur
pose of Intimidating and preventing the
plaintiff's miners from working, etc.
Mr. De Armltt said: "The miners em
ployed at our mines are not only In
ttmidated from going to work, hut they
dare not leave their families at home
at the mercy of a mob responsible to
no one. The mob has Increased until It
is beyond the control of law."
Mr. De Armitt would not say so, but
Judging from his remarks It Is believed
he Is expecting Sheriff LKwrey will
will call on the governor for troops to
disperse the strikers.

Youngstown, O., Aug. 4. The new
AmalgamaWd wage scale has been sign

The whole scale Is governed by a 1

Whon the selling price of bar Iron
goes up, everybody's wnoe gn up, but

science -in his own words and accom
panied by his own computations and
conclusions. To a few intimates he
ave a training demonstration of the
operation of his device for arresting and
subjecting to control under natural laws
the electrical substances in and about
the earth. His latest Invention, device
or discovery Is to produce such a dis
turbance of the electricity of the earth
which can be felt and noted simultane
ously In all parts of the globe.
The Private Demonstration.
Tesla had his rooms In the laboratory
on Houston street darkened. From a
room adjoining the one In which he and
his visitors stood a current was turned
on invisibly. A huge black disk hung
on a frame about 8 feet in diameter,
from the center of which protruded a
brass electrode 7 Inches In diameter. As
the group gazed at this the apartment
was filled with a crackling sound, which
Increased till it sounded like the rattle
of musketry. Bright flames shot from
the electrode, not from pole to pole, as
in ordinary demonstrations. Like fiery
serpents the wavy colls of flame darted
In graceful lines around the disk. The
longest Hparlts were fully 8 feet from
the point when they burst into daxzllng
brilliancy to the vanishing point. These
electrical sparks were undoubtedly the
longest flashes of light ever produced
by similar means.
It seemed like a terrific lightning dis
play, with the snapping, crackling
sound, displacing the reverberation of
heaven's artillery, and all remarked
the weird and awing effect of the exhi
bition.. "What Is the voltage?" Tesla was
asked
He motioned expressively with his
long finger and said quickly: "As far as
voltage is concerned, that is almost be
yond computation. Yet. let me tell you,
I stood In front of that flame and had
that charge shot through me and expe
rienced no unpleasant sensation. Dan
gerous? Yes, it 1b dangerous and I
shall not repeat the experiment, for It
exposes the blood to a terrific tension.
If those tongues of living flame touched
an artery and It burst, In an instant
one would be bloodless and lifeless.
THE EIGHT HOUR DAY.
M assachnsetts Ilraooh of the American
Federation of Labor la Favor of It.
Boston, Aug. 3 The annual ennven
tlon of the state branch of the Amer
ican, Federation of Labor was opened
here yosterday by President J. D.
Pierce of Worcester. Delegates repre
senting 60,000 workmen from all sec
tions of the state were present. The
early hours of the convention were de
voted to toe appointment of the va
rious committees, after which President
Pierce made his annual report.
Among other things, he said: "The
trades unions, realizing the absolute ne
cessity of providing employment for
those who are today out of work, main
ly through the Introduction of machln
ery, have declared in favor of a univer
sal eight hour work day, and as a large
percentage of our unions are still work
ing a longer time we should use every
means In our power, so that on the first
day of May, 18H8. eight hours will con
stitute a full day's work from one end
of this state to the other."
The speaker sought to Impress the
absolute necessity of demanding the
union label of the craft on all goods
purchased by organised labor and its
friends.

Klondike Oold at the Mint.
San Francisco, Aug. 4. The largest
deposit of gold dust at the United
States mint In this city has been made
and a receipt for .), 775.001 Issued to a
firm here, ttf this amount 1750, 000 was
gold from the Klondike. This gold has
been accumulating In the city for the
past four weeks nnd consists of deposits
made by returned miners and by a com
pany controlling the commercial Inter
ests of Alaska. It has been refined and
therefore represents the actual value
of the gold handled by this firm.
In addition to this deposits were made
by a number of Yukon miners, but they
were included In previous estimates. In
all about $1,000,000 from the Klondike
will go into the San Francisco mint.
The first experts properly accredited
to take options on mining claims in the
Yukon country will leave the city to
day. Their nemes are John Mahoney
and James Bridges. A number of local
capitalists have employed them.
Every berth on the steamers Walla

Will Not Iniure Rlouilikera.
Chicago, Aug. 4. Inquiry develups
that many of the principal life and ac
cident Insurance companies have Is
sued positive Instructions to their gen
eral agents toi the United States and
Canada against assuming any risks up
on the lives of persons contemplating
visit to the Klondike. Many of the
general agents representing eastern life
and accident Insurance companies In
Chicago have received letters from the
home ofllce of a prohibitory nature
against these risks.
Mr. Harris, the manager of the New
York Life Insurance company In Chi
cago, has received no instructions that
prohibit him from Issuing a permit to
policy holders In that company to vis
It the Klondike, hut he says they have
positive Instructions to accept no appli
cations for either an Increase of insur
ance or new policies.
The action of the life insurance com
panies Is not nearly as surprising as
that of the accident. .-The companies
carrying accident risks are even more
particular than many of those assum
ing lite risks. They go on the theory
that the trip overland to Alaska Is
fraught with more dnngers to life and
limb from accident than is possible
from disease. The only thing that
causes the accident companies to hesi
tate In canceling the policies Is the ex
treme prudence that the policy holder
hns shown In the past. They do not
care to assume a risk upon a daring
ynnng prospector who will not take
even the precautions of carrying sulll
cient clothing and food with lilm to the
Klondike regions. They estimate thnt
the greater portion of those going to
that country are persons unaccustomed
to cold and are InsulTlclontly provided
with food and clothing.
Dredger to Tiike Out Oold.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 4. A dredger Is
the latest BCheme devised for taking
gold out of the Yukon region. The pro
moters of the scheme do not Intend to
begin operations until next spring, by
which time they will have a properly
constructed dredge at the mouth of the
Yukon river waiting for the ic to break
up.
Then the dredger will be taken up the
river to the gold region, where the work
of dredging the beds of the Yukon and
its tributaries will begin.
Experts for the Pennsylvania Smelt
ing and Kenning company of Philadel
phia are on their way to the Klondike
district to examine the placers' and also
to prospect for quartz deposits.
The North American company's

Last of Hard Times.
1'IKE Cot N-TY, Aug. 2, 1S1I7.
Duaii ElMToit: I believe wo farmers
will have the parting kick from hard
times this season, but it seems ns if nature
too desires to aid in putting in a finishing
touch.
I could not truthfully say we had any
spring this season. Thu nlnianoc, which
generally prevaricates on such subjects,
mentioned that season but It did not ap
pear as usual. Thecrows and chipmunks
raised our corn by tiu acre, whiuh was not
a healthy growth. Then the hot sun came
nnd burned the heels off our oats nnd
roasted our potatoes Nest the rainy sea
sou which caught u.s In the midst of har
vest and haying. Thu grain Is badly
sprouted, and the hay rotted The gophers
get in their work again by cutting olf the
heads of grain lyinr in swath, while the
contemplative crow nnd his family and In
vited friends sit by waiting for what corn
wo may have this fall, from tho few hills
they did Hit In the so-called spring.
Yes; the crows have the same character
as the Democrats in the last Congress,
they cloaked to destroy the Dingley bill
the only hope of prosperity, and now thoy
are crying out that it won't amount to
anything anyway, and are shouting thnt
the but few days receipts under tho Wil
son bill greatly exceeded those so far under
the Dingley bill' The reasou Is too ap
parent to need stating.
Why Not Road Bees.
