No Apparent Chungs In the Strike ftltu atlon at Pittsburg. Pittsburg, July 28. The situation 1n this district is unchanged. Both isidesare waiting for the result of the meeting tomorrow of the operators. The arbitrators are elated at the pros pects. All of the Western men are here, and the Eastern people will arrive in the morning. Hotel lobbies are meeting places tonight for the operators already here, and the strike question is being well disensesd. While a large number are not in favor of the old uni formity plan, all are anxious to hear what new phases the peuce commis sioners have given the subject. Some are decidedly opposed to uni formity, but all are in favor of arbitra tion for settlement of the strike. The board is busy completing the contract which is to be presented to the meeting tomorrow at the courthouse. No one Can, at this time, predict the outoome of the conference, which is expected to last two, and perhaps three days. A crisis is pending. This is conceded on all sides. The arbitration commis sioners, on one side, feel hopeful that they will bring about an initiative for a settlement at the meeting. The miners' officials, on the other hand, claim to have adopted measures that will make a complete tie-up.

She brings news trial tue uionayke lover Is on the in crease at Juneau. Nearly every able ix)(i led man there lias gone or is prepar mg to go to tlie ricti ileitis. Authentic, reports direct from Dyeu are that there is now as much freight pilcdnp at the head of the inlet as the Indians can pack over the divide in the next 18 months. This amount of freight will be more than doubled (when the steamers Queen and Mexico, now en route.a rrive. This condition of affairs practically precludes all pos sibihty of hundreds of the rushors reaching the mining region this vear. Frank F. Myers, the Juneau pioneer newspur mun, will leave there in two weeks for Dawson Citv. bv a dif. ferent route than by Dyea aiid over the divide. He will go by the route fol lowed by Lieutenant Schwatka, who conducted an exploring party into the xuKon vaney in 1889. This route starts form Taku inlet, 80 miles south of Juneau. From Tuku to Lake Teslin the distance is 130 miles, over level prairies, and the country from Lake Teslin is open valley through to the Yukon river by way of the Hootingua river. With the aid of pack horses the laku route is by far the more prefer able. It is probable that a stage line win soon be operated on this route. Parties who have been over both routes say the walk of 130 miles over level country is more eusily accomplished than that of 15 miles overChilcat sum mit. Taku Inlnt Railway Schema.

Va., July 28. Evgene V. Debs made his appearance in Wheel ing this afternoon, and was met by a large crowd at the railroad station. Tonight he addressed a meeting in this city. The efforts to secure the public building square for the meeting failed, ana tne meeting took place a square away. In speaking of the situation in the Fairmont fields, Debs said he felt en couraged. A number of miners joined the strikers on Sunday and others are expected to follow. He said the efforts of the organizers would have been more successful, but for the fuct that the operators, as he claimed, prevented their men from attending the meetings. Practical slavery, he said, exists in the Fairmont mining regions. Kanawha Men Out. Wheeling, W. Va., July 28.

Chipman has gone to Washington tc Die patent applications and interest proper government officials in inven tions of Frank M. Reed, of this city, which have been oompleted, tested practically and found to be capable ol revolutionizing the handling of war vessels at sea. The inventions carry out to perfec tion the Idea originated by Russia in using oil instead of coal as a fuel for war vessels. Reed's invention covers a system of oil burning which would make it possible for a vessel like the Indiana to carry enough fuel to last a trip around the world. The system is gas generation from oil The gun is generated bv an atom izing plant, is smokeless and is capable of a tenth more heat than the Russians get, or 33 per cent more heat than the government is now getting from coal, miming it possilbe to work up to ereut- er speed. Where 80 stokers are now necessary on a great war vessel, one man could handle all the valves. Another of the inventions covers a storage tank that is absolutely bullet and sliellproof. The oost of the equip ment is very small, and would be paid for in a month or so in the saving of fuel A Kott'en Trent le fanned It. Columbus, O., July 28.

No Hope for Mrs. Maybrick. Washington, July 28. The British government has again declined to in terfere in the execution of the sentence of Mrs. Florence Maybrick on the ground that there is no reason for a change of judgnierit in the matter.

Washington, July 27. The presi dent's message, recommending the ap pointment of a currency commission, is as follows: To the Congress of the United States: in my message convening oongress in extraordinary session, I called atten tion to a single Btibject that of provid ing revenue adequate to meet the rea sonable and proper expenses of the government. It seemed to be the most pressing subject, for settlement then. A bill to provide necessary revenues for the government has already passed the house of representatives and the senate awaits executive action. Another question of importance was that of the establishment of our currency and banking system on a better bag's, which I commented upon in my inaugural address in the following words: Our financial system needs revis ion; onr money is all good, but its value must not be further threatened. It should all be puti upon an enduring basis, not subject to easy attack. The forms of our paper money offer, in my judgment, a constant embarrassment to the government, and imperil a safe balance in the treasury.' Nothing was settled more clearly at the late national election, than the determination upon the part of the people to keep their currency stable in value and equal to the most advanced nations of the world. mi i ine soundness oi our currency is no. wnere questioned, no loss can occur to its holders. The system should be simplified and strengthened, keeping our money just as good as it is now with less expense to the government and; the people. me sentiment or the country is strongly in favor of early action by con gress in mis direction to revise our currency laws and remove them from partisan contention. A notable assem bly of business men, with delegates from 29 states and territories, was held at Indianapolis in January of this year. The financial situation commanded their earnest attention, and after a two days' discussion, the convention recom mended to congress the appointment of a monetary commission. I commend this report to the consideration of con gress. , "The authors of the report recom mend a commission to make a thorough investigation of the monetary affairs and needs of this country, in all rela tions and aspects, and to make proper suggestions for any evils found to exist, and the remedies therefor. This sub ject should have been called to the attention of congress at the special ses sion. It ought not to be postponed till the regular session. I therefore urge and recommend that a special commis sion he created, non-partisan in its character, to be composed of well-informed citizens of different parties, who will command the confidence of con gress because of their special fitness for the work, whose duty it shall bo to make recommendations of whatever changes in onr, present bunking and currency laws may be found necessary and expedient, and to report their con clusions on or before the first day of November next, in order that the same may be transmitted by me to congress for its consideration at its first regular session. "It is to be hoped that the report will be so comprehensive and sound as to receive the support of all parties and the favorable action of congress. At ail events, such a report cannot fail to lie of value to the executive branch of the government, as well as to those charged with public legislation, and greatly assist in the establishment of an improved system of finance. "WILLIAM M'KLNLEY. "Executive Mansion "July J7 1897 A Review of Ihe I.eglnlutlou That Was Attended To. - The extraordinary session of congress which has just closed Was called by i-resKient jicKinioytwo days after he took the oath of office on the steps of the cupitol. It met in pursuance to his proclamation, at noon, March 15. The special message transmitted by him to both houses on the opening day was brief. It explained the deficiency in tho revenues, reviewed the bond issues of the lust administration and urged congress promptly to correct the then existing" conditions by passing a tariff bill that would supply ample revenue, support the government, and the liquidation of the public debt. No other subject of legislation was mentioned in the message, and the tariff has been the all-absorbing feature of the session. The Republican mem bers of the ways and means committee of the preceding house had been at work throughout the short session, which ended March 4, giving hearings and preparing the bill which was to be submitted to the extra session. Three days after the session opened the tariff bill was reported to the honse bv the ways and means committee and 13 days later, Maroh 81, it passed the house. It went to the senate, was re ferred to the committee on finance, and the Republican members of that com mittee spent a month and three days in its consideration and in preparing the amendments which were submitted to the senate May 7, and exactly two months later, July 7, it passed the senate with 872 amendments. The bill then went to conference. where after a 10 days' struKtrle. on July 17, a complete agreement was reached by which the senate receded from 18 amendments and the house from 511. The other 243 were com promised. The conference report was adopted by the house on July 19, at the conclusion of 12 hours' continuous de bate. The report was taken up in the senate July 20, and adopted July 24, The tariff bill was feigned by the presi oont tne same day. tongress cliu not devote its session entirely to the tariff, although it did subordinate everything else to this one measure. The four appropriation bills which failed on March 4 last, would, in themselves, have compelled President MoKinley to call congress in extra ses sion, even if the necessity for a revision of the tariff had not existed. These appropi ration bills were the sundry civil, the agricultural, the Indian, and the general deficiency. Those bills were Introduced and passed by the house in the initial form in which thev existed at the time they failed of enaot ment into law at the preceding congress. out tney were amended in some mportant particulars by the senate, and when they finally became laws. contained more or less new legislation of interest and importance. The gen erai aenciency Dili carried a provision accepting the invitation to take part in tne rans exposition in luuu, ana ap propriated f25,000 to defray prelim inary expenses, and appropriated $150, 000 for a new immigrant station at New York to replace the one destroyed by nre. By far the most important piece of new legislation in the bill, however, was that limiting the cost of armor plate lor three new battle-ships to $300 a ton, and in case of the secretary of the navy finding it impossible to make contracts for armor within the price fixed, he was authorized by this provision to take Bteps to establish a government '"mor-plate factory of sufficient capac ity to make the armor. In executing t.iie authority, he must prepare a de scription and plans and specifications of the land, buildings and machinery suitable for the facte ryj advertise for proposals and report to congress at its next session. In the Indian bill, after a severe struggle in both houses, the question of sectarian schools was settled by the fol lowing declaration of the policy of the government: "That the secretary of the interior may make contracts with sectarian schools, apportioning as near as may be, the amounts contracted for among schools of various denominations for the education of Indian pupils during the fiscal year 1898, but shall only make such contracts at such places as non-sectarian schools cannot be pro vided for such Indian children, and to an amount not exceeding 40 per cent of the amount so used for the fiscal year 1895." The question of opening to entry the gilsonite deposits in the Uncompahgre reservation was also compromised by opening such agricultural land as have not been allotted to the Uncompahgre Indians on April 1, 1898, to entry, but reserivng to the United States title to all lands containing gilsonite, asphalt or like substances. In the sundry civil bill the most inv portant new provision was that sus pending the order of President Cleve land, setting aside about 21,000 acres as lorest reservations. The law also includes a general scheme of legisla tion for the government and protection for the forest reservations of the country. The Republican leaders of the house decided at the opening of the session to pursue a policy of inaction in order to throw the responsibility for delay ing the tariff bill upon the senate, and therefore the committees were not an nounced until the close of the session, and only urgent matters were consid ered. Fifty thousand dollars were ap propriated for the relief of American citizens in Cuba at the solicitation of the president; 1200,000 was appropri ated for the relief of the Mississippi flood sufferers. A resolution was passed authorizing the secretary of the navy to transport supplies contributed for the .relief of the starving in India, and $50,000 was appropriated for the entertainment and expense of the delegates to the uni versal postal cong'esa. The Hawaiian treaty of annexation negotiated by President McKinley waa still unacted upon when congress ad journed. In open session, after much debate, v the senate passed the Cuban belliger ency resolution, n bunkmntov hill, in cluding both voluntury and involun tary features, the "free homes" bill. But none of these important questions received consideration in the house. The following minor and joint reso lutions became laws, managing to es- cape objection from any member: Authorizing the secretary of war to receive for instruction at the military academy at West Point Carlos Gutier rez, of Salvador. To amend an act entitled, "An act . to provide for the entry of land in ' Greer county, Oklahoma, to give pref erence rights to settlers and for other purposes," approved January 18, 1897. Appropriating $10,000 not expended for the relief of the Mississippi river flood sufferers, for the flood sufferers at El Paso, Texas. Authorizing foreign exhibitors at the trans-Mississippi and international ex position to be held in Omaha during 1898, to bring to the United States foreign laborers from their countries respectively, for the purpose of prepar ing for and making exhibits. To provide for the immediate repair of dry dock No. 8,,at the New York navj yaru. Making appropriations for the im provement of the Mississippi river. To supply deficiencies in appropria tions for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1897.
