merous prostrations have occurred,., but
none of a serious 'nature. Reports re

row.

where So per confessed he had placed it.
Soper was recently ' arrested at Ash

dering his wife and two children in Mis

Coal Market Demoralized.
St. Louis, July 3. The St. Louis coal
market was never in a more demoralized
condition, and some of the operators
welcome a strike; as a means of leading
up lo adjustment of prices and placing
the market on a better basis. The St.
Louis market draws most of its bitumi
nous coal from the Central and Southern
Illinois districts, and, despite the an
nbuncement that the strike will go into
effect tomorrow, the operators do not
think their fields will be affected -for two
weeks, and perhaps three.
RELAY AT LAST HuCB.
Final Vote
on Tariff . BUI
Reached. '
Not It
- Washington, July 3. The tariff bill
bas'gone over until Monday, and all ef
fort to fix the time for a final ' vote in
the senate has proved futile. When the
senate met today there was some hope
that the final vote would be reached to
night; but this was speedily dispelled by
the storm occasioned when Alheon re
ported a new amendment from the
finance committee, giving a bounty of
i cents a pound on beet sugar from
beets grown in the United Slates. - -
.; Jones, of Arkansas, speaking for the
minority, soon took occasion to say that
no vote could be reached on the bill in
the near future, in view of this bounty
amendment. He estimated also that the
debate would be very protracted from
this time forward.
Teller 'supplemented this view, saying
that the appearance of such an amend
ment at the last moment looked as
though the Republicans were trying to
delay the passage of their own bill. As
it bad become apparent that the bounty
provision might cause serious delays
Thurston, one of the prime movers
arose, and, in impressive tones, with
drew the amendment, saying his action
was inspired by patriotic motives and
for the purpose of removing all ob
stacles and the passage of the bill. His
colleague, Allen, immediately renewed
the bounty provision, so that the com'
plication was the same as before.
' Late in the day Allison sought to have
a time fixed for the vote, but the bounty
amendment stood in the way and all ap
peals to Jones were in vain. Allison
finally gave notice that be would expect
to pass the bill Monday or Tuesday.
During the day the bill was brought
to a practical ' state of completion, the
only ' remaining items being the new
provisions submitted by the committee
and individual senators. Besides the
bounty amendment, Allison proposed
late in the day an amendment for stamp
ing bonds, etc., which went over until
Monday. .
Among the features disposed of today
were the anti-trust sections, the pro
visions of the Wilson act on that subject
being re-enacted.
Mills brought up a new amendment
for a tax of 20 cents a pack on playing
cards,' which was agreed to by a unanl
mons vote, amid much amusement and
surprise, as Mills had not expected this
result. All of the administrative sec
tions of the bill, and that repealing the
Wilson act, were disposed of during the
day, and the proposition proposing a tax
on beer was withdrawn by the com
mittee. -
The senate adjourned nntil Monday
no effort being made to observe the na
tional holiday. :
Pennsylvania Miners' Grievance.
Dubois, Pa., July 3. The Rochester
& Pittsburg Coal 4 Iron Company min
ers are working at 30 cents, the lowest
rate ever paid here, and will' undoubt
edly strike. It is reported that the
Northwestern Mining Company's mines,
Brockport, Crenshaw and Sbawmut will
quit work today. At Tyler the men
have been out for several days, on ac
count of a cut from 40 to 30 cents.
Probably a Sympathetic Strike.
Altoona, Pa., July 3. Up to . the
present time the miners of the Cambria
and Clearfield region have made no
declaration regarding the strike ordered
by the executive committee of the union
mineworkers. If the miners in this
region should strike, it would merely be
a sympathetic strike.
. . 1
Already on a Strike.
Philipsbubgh, Pa., July 3. The
strike called by the United Mineworkers
will not affect the miners in the Central
Pennsylvania coal regionB, in some por
tions of which several hundred miners

cent reduction for a month, notably in
