PITTSBURG GOES OUT
Coal Miners' Strike Declared
in That District.
EXTENT NOT DEFINITELY KNOWN
Bis Thoiiud River Digger. Knows
to Be Idle Ohio Striker. Se
cure an Advance.
Pittbbpbo, July 6. A Btrike of coal
miners is on in Pittsburg district, but
reports as to its extent are so conflicting
and meager, it is difficult to .tell how
many responded to the strike order.
Most encouraging reports for the strik
ers came from the river mines, and it
can be stated that fully 6000 river dig
gers are idle.
. A dispatch from Wheeling, W. Va.,
save men at Schickanes, on the B. & O.,
in Ohio, are at work at an advance. The
3000 on the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheel
ing railroad voted two to one against the
strike, and are working as usual.
v iLL CLASSES WILL SUFFER.
Miner.' Btrike Likely to Be Berlou. in
It. Effect..
Nw Yobk, July 6. A World Wash
ington dispatch says :
In speaking of the miners' strike, Sec
retary Sherman said that such disturb
ances were always serious, and threat
ened to become injurious to business in
terests. The withholding of so import
ant a product as coal, if continued for a
considerable period, he said, neceesarily
involves a liberal increase in price, and
consequently affects all classes. He does
not believe that politics enter into
Btrikes that any of the parties, or that
either the preceding or the present ad
ministration could be held responsible
for the existing disagreements between
the operators and miners.
Secretary Sherman says that the solu
tion of these problems must be found by
the employers and those in their service.
They must adjast their differences in
their own way and to their own satis
- faction. Outside suggestions and inter
ference would be resented. For this
reason he does not believe that any gen
eral plan of arbitration for the adjudica'
tionof labor troubles, as proposed by
pending congressional legislation, would
be acceptable to either of the parties, or
could be made effective in practical ap-
plication. The theory is good, he said,
but the execution would be difficult, if
not impossible.
Arbitration provi ded by law would be
on the principle of leading- a horse to
water. The water can be provided and
the animal taken to it, but he caunot be
Compelled to drink.
SENATOR BANNA'S VIEWS.
Striker. Choose an Unfortunate Time to
Make Their Demand.
New Yobk, July 6. A Herald dis
- patch from Washington says :
Senator Hanna, in speaking of the
coal miners' strike, said :
"Owing to the existing conditions of
business, no one can be expected to raise
. wages for the present, anywhere in any
line of business, and therefore the strik
ers have chosen a very unfortunate time
to make their demands, whether the
latter be reasonable or not. . With bet
ter times, greater confidence and an in
creased demand for the product of the
mines, it ought to be possible to give la
borers of all kinds a better return for
their labor. That is what we mean by
prosperity an improved condition of
business. When money is freer, opera-,
tions are carried on upon a safe, sound
and profitable basis, and the . humblest
"laborer reaps the benefit of the good
times in proportion to the value of his
labor.
.' "The hoped-for good times are coming,
I believe, before long, but they will not.
come suddenly, but gradually, and when
business does improve, employers of
labor can listen to the grievances of the
employed. I do not see that they can
be expected to do so before.' It is to be
hoped that the men will agree to submit
the matter to arbitration and let their
troubles rest for the' present in a reason
able manner. Acts of violence prompt
ed by thoughtless passion can never ac
complish anything good.
"Of the effect of the Btrike on Ohio
politics, I am not prepared to say any
thing. Businees disturbances always
affect the curient issues one way or an
other, and misunderstandings frequent
ly arise on account of them. I have no
apprehension personally on account of
the strike, however."
Lightning- Fired a Church.
Quebec, July 5. A terrific thunder
storm which paseed over the Lake St.
John district caused loss of life and con
siderable damage to property. Owing
to the storm the wires are in a demoral
ized condition, but it is learned that at
John Querie's lightning struck the
parish church while high mass was be
ing celebrated. A portion of the roof
was ripped off, two altars upset and the
officiating priest stunned.
' Then it was discovered that the build
ing was on fire, and the whole congrega
tion at once became panic-stricken. - A
mad rush was made for the doors, dur
ing'whicb one man was trampled under
toot and killed and many persons were
injured.
The church was burned to the ground,
making the third church fired by
lightning and destroyed in the Lake St.
John district within two weeks. .
V ,NO BOUNTY AT PRESENT.
The Beet Sugar Tariff -Amendment Will
Be Tabled.
Washington, July 6. The Republi-'
can senatorial caucus today decided not
to again present a beet-sugar bounty
amendment to the tariff bill, and Alli
son was authorized to move to have the
amendment offered by Allen tabled.
There was also' a general agreement to
take up the Thurston beet-sugar bounty
bill as independent the first thing after
congress meets next December. .
The object of the caucus bore entirely
upon the bounty matter. Aldrich was
the first to make a general outline of the
course which was ultimately agreed
upon, including the postponement of the
entire question ontil December. A mo
tion to this effect . was, however, made
by Morrill, after a motion made by
Davis to stand by the finance committee
withdrawing the amendment, had been
carried.
Foraker. suggested that the entire
question should be left open, leaving
each Republican senator to cast his vote
in such manner as he should choose, in
dependent of party affiliations. He said
the effort to lay the amendment on the
table might lead to filibustering tactics,
and cause more delav than would the
opposite course ot permitting the amend
ment to go to a vote on its merits.
This view was antagonized by the
other senators, who said the Democrats
would hold the bill up indefinitely, as
long as there was a possibility of the
amendment passing, and that the only
way of insuring a speedy vote was for
the party, as a whole to 'support the
motion to table. This opinion
was bo general that Foraker did not press
his motion and no vote was taken.
When Allen was informed of the re
suit of the Republican caucus, he said
he would press his amendment to a vote,
but that he would not filibuster to pre
vent its being laid upon the table. He
said it was not his purpose to prevent an
early vote on the bill.
ASTOR Is INDIGNANT.
HI. Paper Wa. Slighted at the Qoeen'a
Dinner Party.
New Yobk, July 6. A dispatch to the
World from London says : . '
W. W. Astor is indignant because bis
paper, the Pall Mall Gazette, was omit
ted from the invitation list for the
queen's party at Windsor castle Sat or
day, to the members of the house of
commons and their wives. . The Gazette
therefore boycotts the entertainment,
explaining:
"We have to apologize to our readers
for the abeence of any account of what
must have been a most interesting fane
tion ; bat as we did not see it, we can
not describe it."
No London evening paper was invited,
and are all exercised at the slight, bnt
the Pall Mall Gazette is the only one
that makes its chagrin public.

AND NOW TRILBY IS IN MOURNING
Mr. Bradbury Wa. Hypnotized, Bnt
She Ra. Recovered and Know.
' All About It.
Alameda. Cal., July 7. William J.
Bryan reached this city this morning.
He was met at Oakland by a large com
mittee of citizens and with his party was
driven to this city. The visitors disem
barked at the Mastic station and carri
ages were taken. A drive' was given
through the principal residence thor
oughfares, terminating at the Park
hotel, where an informal reception took
place, when a number of ladies were
presented to the distinguished guest.
Breakfast was served, and in response
to the toast, "W. J. Bryan the next
president," Bryan said :
.."I am not so much interested in who
shall be the next president of the United
States as I am that the next ' president
will be a man who will not veto a silver
bill when it comes before him."
At the conclusion of the breakfast
there was a procession in which all the
Alameda Bimetallic League, comprising
about 600 men, took part. The line of
march led op to a stand at the corner of
Santa Clara avenue and Walnut street,
where Bryan delivered an address on
"Equality; Before the Law," to about
3000 people.
A LATTER-DAY TRILBY.
She Declare. That Hypnotism Cau.ed
Her Downfall.
San Francisco, July 7. There are
said to be prospects now that the runa
way wite of Millionaire John Bradbury,
of Los Angeles, will shortly appear in a
new and rather sensational role. It is
asserted that the alleged hypnotic spell
under which her friends claim that her
eloping companion, H. Russell Ward,
has held her, is now dispelled to that
extent that she is ready and willing to
go upon the witness stand next Thurs
day and testify against her lover.
The story which it is said Mrs. Brad'
bury may tell under oath, will be some'
thing decidedly startling. It is to par
take of hypnotism. When she arrived
in this city last Friday with Ward, she
boasted she would never think of leaving
him and returning to her home. She
now refuses lo hold any communication
with Ward. She avows that she cannot
for the life of her understand her former
conduct, except that she has been the
victim of some awfal control that she
could neither fathom nor resist.
Mrs. Bradbury has promised ber
mother to whom she is entirely recon
ciled, that she will never again counten
ance Ward's attentions, nor even toler
ate hia friendship. She Bays she will
never speak to him or . permit bim to
speak to ber.

in the murder and dismemberment of

full confession from Thorn admitting be
bad murdered Guldensappe and giving
all the details of the crime. -

sections, and then encased in plaster of

FOR REFORM IN FINANCE.
Currency Qua. tion to Gome Up at the
-' . . Present Sea.loa. -
Washington, July 7. President Mc-
Kinley called a special meeting of . the
cabinet for today. After . a .. discussion
lasting over an hour the cabinet decided
that the president should send to con
gress a message recom mending legislation
providing for a committee to adjust the
currency question of the country. "
It is the expectation of the president
that the subject will receive the attention
of congress during the .present extra
session. The message itself is written
and is short. Its principal feature is a
quotation from the president's inaugural
address on the financial subject.
The tariff bill was not considered at
the meeting today except in its bearing
on the currency commission proposition
The president will ask -authority to
name nine commissioners and for an ap
propriation for the expenses of the com
mission, but will not make suggestions
as to the political or other composition
of the commission, nor will he make any
suggestion as to the lines of investiga-
tion. ' He will himself call attention to
the necessity of reform in our currency
and national banking laws, and state
that in his opinion that reform is
equally important with , the enactment
of a protective tariff law.

San Francisco, July At daylight
this morning began the prayer - meeting
of the Christian Endeavorers. The ser

vention." Among the leaders of these
meetings B. W. Wilcox, of Spokane; H.
J. Fries, of Tacoma, Wash., and H. S.
Gile, of-Salem, Oregon.
. Long before the hour appointed for the
opening of the convention every eeat in
the vast pavilion, which accommodates
over 10,000 people, was occupied, women
predominating, and from the stage the
sight was one never to be forgotten.
Seldom has an audience equal . in num
bers and appearance been assembled
within the wallB of a building in Cal
ifornia. ' ' '"
At 9 :30 the great gathering was called
to order by Rev. E. R. Dille, of this city,
and after a musical welcome by the
choir, brief devotional exercises were
conducted by Rev. Phil'p' F. King,' of
Bolton, Tex. . Then the welcome of the
committee of '97 was delivered by Rolla
V. Watt, who said:
"This morning our dreams are real
ized, our hopes are fulfilled, our prayers
are answered, for we witness the as
sembling of an international Christian
Endeavor convention for the first time
on the shores of the mighty Pacific.
God bless yon! We are glad your, are
Lhere ; welcome, thrice welcome !
"We welcome you first and above all for
the sake of our Master, whose banner of
love is over all, and whose servants you
are. He has said if we lift him up he
will draw all men unto himself ; and
just as we represent him in our thoughts,
our words, our deeds, in our daily lives,
bo will men see him. He holds in his
bands the solution of all our problems,
social, political and spiritual. It is the
part of Christian endeavor to take these
proffered gifts and offer them to man
king.
"We welcome you, therefore, knowing
you are seeking to present the Savior of
mankind to the world, that the world
may be made better. We cannot offer
you the historic sittings of Boston com
mon, nor the beauties of the national
capital ; we are too young for such
things ; but we are proud of our city, set
on more hills than Rome boasted, and of
our state, with its varied and unequaled
attractions.
"While you are in the city I trust you
will Beek out the bright spots, rather
than the dark ones ; ascertain for your
selves what we are doing ; on the west
coast along the lines, you have chosen
for your activities. Note the, .evidence
of material, moral and religious progress,
and in so doing, remember that not 50
years ago, on this little peninsula, Yerba
Buena was christened San Francisco; it
was then scarcely a hamlet, and was not
incorporated into a town until three
years afterwards.
"And let me remind yon that at New
York, Montreal, Boston and Washing
ton we invited, you to California ; our
invitation was broader than a city ; ana
this morning, on our souvenir badges.
on our flags, on our arch, on our banners,
in flowers and shrubs, in oar parks, you
will find inscribed the magic words
which have induced you to leave, your
homes and to travel thousands ;of . miles
through the burning heat of the July
sun "California, '97.' " T .
Alter the applause which followed the
remarks of Watt had subsided, the wel
come of the Golden Gate pastors was
given by Rev. John Hemphill, who
said: ' ' -" '"'' ''
"Several centuries ago a monk of PI-
cardy, named Peter the Hermit, went up
and down Europe preaching the firey
crusade against those who held the sep
ulchre wherein the Savior of the world
was laid, and he inspired the people
wherever he went with his .own wild,
weird enthusiasm. -- All Europe flew to
arms. : The .watchword, 'Dens volt,'

precipitated themselves upon ' the holy

An expedition of Cuban filibusters
from Florida is reported to have landed

boat Reina Maria Christina, which was
cruising about the coast, endeavored to
intercept the expedition, but without
success.
When the cruiser arrived at the spot
and disembarked her marines, they were
fired upon and driven to their boats by
a strong rebel force in ambush. After a
brief bombardment of the insurgents'
position the warship hurried to Havana
for reinforcements. When' she returned
the filibusters had already left with their
monitions and supplies for Castillo's
headquarters in the Tapeste hills, closely

Captain-General Weyler has at last
decided it wise to evacuate Bayamo.
He has already ordered the inhabitants
to betake themselves to Manzanillo, and
has asked the war department in Spain
to authorize the withdrawal of troops
and the burning of the town. The ex
penses of maintainjng the garrison there
have always been very heavy and one
which the end gained did not justify. 1
Much sicknebS prevails. The insur

The Spanish army has never been so
weakened by sickness before. An offi
