TIE-UP IN WEST VIRGINIA
HORE MIXERS WENT OUT THAJf
WAS ANTICIPATED.
JT. P. Morgan Hansed In Effigry t
"WIDzesbarre Situation in the
Pennsylvania Fields.
WHEELING. Wv Va., June 7. The
strike ordered by the United MInework
ers of America, to take effect In. West
"Virginia today, was much more complete
In some districts than expected and less
effective in others. The Incomplete re
ports are conflicting, but on the wholB
several thousand more" men went out
than was anticipated. The strike affects
not only the industries of this state, but
also the railways and river navigation.
All of the local coal railroads suffer.
Among the trunk lines, the Norfolk &
Western suffered most today, but very
many miners were also idle along the
Baltimore & Ohio and the Chesapeake &
Ohio.
As a rule the miners quit work without
much demonstration, but in somo places
they were marching with bands. It was
ascertained that the operators in some
places had secured many armed guards
in anticipation of a protracted struggle,
If not of violence. In a few places, the
striking miners were served with notices
to vacate the houses belonging to the
coal companies.
While thB strike in this state Is gen
erally regarded as sympathetic with that
of Pennsylvania, there is a general im
pression that the bituminous coal inter
ests of other states have had their influ
ence In bringing on a crisis in West Vir
ginia. There Is a strong organization of
miners in this state independent of the
United Mineworkers of America, and tha
members of the state union have con
tinued when the United States Minework
ers have ordered strikes in bordering
states and in Indiana, Illinois and other
fitates.
It Is currently reported throughout
West Virginia that the bituminous opera
tors of other states refused to pay tho
National scale unless the United Mine
workers control the mines of West Vir
ginia, and many believe the present strug
gle is for the maintenance of authority
of the United Mineworkers in states oth
er than West Virginia.
While there were various reports of
violence during tho day, they are not
confirmed by tho late advices tonight,
but tho officials in the districts are ap
prehensive of serious trouble in the fu
ture. Strikers Ordered to Vacate.
ELKHORN. W. Va., June 7. The gen
eral strike order has been universally
obeyed in every field along the Norfolk &
Western road. But few collieries at
tempted to operate today, and those that
did had not an eighth of the usual force
at work. -The operators are endeavoring
to keep strikers- away from the mines,
where a few men are yet at work, but
as yet no trouble has occurred. Probably
11,000 to 12,000 men were idle today in the
Flat Top, Elkhorn, Tug River, Thacker
and Dlngess fields. Operators posted no
tices at Elkhorn today that all the strik
ers living in the company's houses must
lacate property at once. Trouble Is
feared.
Lay Doivn Their Picks.
CHARLESTON, W. Va., June 7. Elgh-ty-flve
per cent of the miners In tho
Kanawha coal fields laid down their picks
today and went on strike in obedience to
the order issued by the Huntington con
vention. No violence is reported from
any place in the district.
Reports from all mines in the Clarks
burg section show that less than 200 min
ers went on strike today. This is about
2 per cent of the total number employed
in that field.
Strike Falls at Clarksburg.
CLARKSBURG, W. Va., June 7. Re
ports from all the coal mines In this re
gion received here today show that there
is not an idle plant, there being less than
i of 1 per cent among the 10,000 min
ers out. This was to have been the cen
tral point of the strike demonstrations
today, but the agitators found an audi
ence of less than 50 persons at the place
of meeting, and declined to deliver ad
dresses. Bank Boss Killed.
KEYSTONE. W. Va., June 7. Thous
ands of striking miners are in Keystone
tonleht and there, is much revelry. At
the Crane Creek mines today James A.
Dewees, a bank boss, was shot and killed
while walking up the mountain. More
trouble is expected.
Strikers Start "West.
COOPERS. W. Va.. June 7. About CO
per cent of the miners in the Plat Top
fields went out today. Five hundred
or more of the miners passed through
here today. They aro going West and
say they will not return.
IX PENNSYLVANIA FIELDS.
J. P. Morgan Hanged in Efflgry at
Wllkesbarre."
WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 7. There
was absolutely no change today in the
anthracite coal miners' strike, which has
now rounded out its fourth week. Here
and there men who were on their way
to or from work were assaulted, but none
of them were seriously hurt. Much In
terest Is manifested In the strike of the
West Virginia soft coal miners, which
began today. The anthracite mineworkers
hope the strike in that state will even
tually have some good effect on their
-own struggle. President (Mitchell had
nothing to give out regarding the West
Virginia trouble. He said he had re
ceived only meager information from
there.
The hanging in effigy of J. Pierpont
Morgan in one of the streets of South
Wllkesbarre by a crowd of men and boys
was the only Incident to mar the still
ness of thl Wyoming Valley this morn
ing. After the effigy had been hung, the
crowd cheered and pelted the object with
Btones until the police dispersed the
throng.
All the mining towns surrounding the
city are very quiet. The news from Wash
ington that President Roosevelt could not
find his way clear to take a hand in
bringing about peace between the miners
and operators was received with genuine
disappointment. It had been strongly
hoped tha$ the President would be able
to find iome means of opening up a way
to peace.
Today marks the end of the fourth week
of total suspension of coal mining, and
the miners and their employers aro far
ther apart than ever.
President Confers With Han no.
WASHINGTON, June 7. The President
today had a long conference at the White
Hcuse with Senator Hanno. on the coal
strike. The President conveyed to Mr.
Hanna the Idea that he would like very
much to do something toward settling tho
strike. Nothing definite, however, was
decided upon. The President also sent for
Carroll D. Wright, the Commissioner of
Labor, to get his views on the situation
and also as to what might properly be
done by the Government looking to a set
tlement of the controversy.
It is probable that other conferences will
be held, and ..he President kept advised
of the situation. He will be in readiness
at any time to extend aid if it Is found
that he can be of service in settling the
difficulty that exists between the miners
and employers.
Xevr Plan Discussed.
NEW YORK, June 7. A new plan Is be
ing discussed for settling the strike of the
anthracite miners. It is on different lines
frpm any hitherto tried. Some of the
leading operators are said to he la favor
of the scheme. It is proposed to appoint
a committee which will go to the mines
and investigate the conditions and" try to
effect a settlement. There are four mat
ters to be considered, one of which Is the
weighing of coal. President Mitchell, of
the United Mineworkers, is said to have
discussed the plan And Urjdleged to bo
willing to waive the question of recogni
tion of the union card. Some slight con
cessions may be made on the other side.
The Strike In Virginia.
ROANOKE. Va., June 7. Aceordingto
advices received by the Norfolk & West
ern Railway, which controls the" output
of the Pocahontas coal fields, 10 mines
closed in the Pocahontas district today.
It Is estimated about COO men are on
strike. Other mines are crippled. "Moth
er" Jones, the famous Pennsylvania agi
tator, is on the ground, urging the men
to quit work. Officials assert that 90
mines in the Pocahontas field are In op
eration with reduced forces. The Clinch
Valley and Thacker fields, they say, ana
working as usual.
Bosses Burned In Edgy.
EHAMOKIN, Pa., June 7. A mob of
strikers late last night surrounded the
homes of sub-bosses Homer, Murphy and
Rafler and two policemen, and built fires

the homes of Murphy and the policemen
grew so vigorous that the nonunion men

INEFFICIENCY IN THE ARMY !
BRITISH
OFFICERS LACKING
IN
KNOWLEDGE AND ZEAL.
Committee on Military Education
Condemns Advancement Through
Social Influence.
LONDOKi June 7, The report of the
committee on military education and
training, issued today, furnishes the
strongest official corroboration of the in
efficiency of the officers of the British
Arms. The committee's report, which Is
based upon the evidence of officers them
selves, from the commander-in-chief
downward, fills 4S printed pages with
caustic criticism of the existing system.
The witnesses were unanimous in saying
that the junior officers were lamentably
deficient in military knowledge, the desire
to acquire knowledge, and In zeal. The
committee finds that the young officer will
not work unless compelled to do so; that
keenness is "out of fashion," and that
"it is not correct form." The committee
declares that many officers do not possess
an elementary education, and that officers
ought "at least to be able to express
themselves clearly and concisely in their
own language." The report condemns the
ON WHICH PRINCE AND
WILL ATTEND CORONATION
system of both "Woolwich and Sandhurst,
where education Is far from satisfactory,
the instructors having no inducement to
teach tho cadets, still less to work."
With the view of diminishing the ex
penses of officers belonging to cavalry
regiments, tho report recommends that
polo tournaments, regimental coaches and
the following of hounds- be forbidden.
Perhaps the penultimate paragraph is
the most complete of all. "So long as
mediocrity is permitted to pass muster,"
says tho committee, "and signal ability
meets with no substantial recognition, It
Is useless to hope for any valuable Tesults
favorable to the regulations. Nothing
but Inducements In the shape of reward
for good work, either in peace or war,
can raise tho standard of knowledge
through the command ranks." The com
mittee, therefore, recommends "an honest
system of promotion by merit, following
on tests, honorably conducted and honest
ly reported on."
The report plainly hints that officers can
hardly be expected to work so long as
the present system of advancement
through social Influence is in vogue or so
long as efficiency has nothing whatever
to do with the selection of officers for de
sirable appointments.
The committee reports among other
things that more commissions be offered
to the colonies and that officers be com
pelled to know either French or German.
Tho frequency of British torpedo-boat
destroyers and torpedo-boat collisions and
other accidents was emphasized today In
a reply of the Secretary of the Admiralty,
Mr. Ronald-Forster, to a question in tho
House of Commons, showing that there
were no less than 110 such occurrences
In 1900 and 1S0L In the former year two
torpedo-boat destroyers grounded and six
torpedo-boats and 41 torpedo-boat de
stroyers were in collision. In 1901 two torpedo-boats
and four torpedo-boat destroy
ers grounded and five torpedo-boats and
J CO torpedo-boat destroyers were In col
lision.

Speaking at Edinburgh today under the
auspices of the Scottish Liberal Associa
tion, John Morley, Liberal, formerly
Chief Secretary for Ireland, urged that
now that the war Is over the time is op
portune for a union of the Liberals on
the old, foundation of peace, econpmy and
reform. He pinned his faith to the lead
ership of Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-man,
announced his adherence to home
rule for Ireland and denounced the grain
tax, which, he predicted, foreshadowed
the abandonment of free trade.
LOYALTY OF THE BOERS.
Botha Says It Will Depend Upon
Administration of Affairs.
LONDON, June 7. In a dispatch from
Pretoria the correspondent there of the
Daily Telegraph gives conversations with
some of the Boer leaders. General Botha,
In speaking with the correspondent de
clares the burghers would observe loyally
the terms of the settlement It depended,
however, said General Botha, upon the
administration of affairs for the next few
months whether or not the country would
return to prosperity and lasting peaceful
conditions. Personally, General Botha
said he was confident that everything
would be done by the authorities to
avoid friction and assist the people.
Judge Hertzog similarly expressed his
desire for the effacement of all bitterness
between Briton and Boer, and his readi
ness to help in the restoration of the
homes and the promotion of prosperity
In the country under-British rule.

spondent appears to be little affected,

Staters and 219 rebels. Fouche is 111.
Commandant Conroy'a men, on hearing
that peace had been concluded, threw
their hats In the air. cheered for King
Edward, and sang. "God Save the King."
These incidents dissipate the fear ex
pressed that the Cape Colony commandos
w ould refuse to accede to the peace terms.
General Christian Dewet Is personally

in the Vrede fort. Orange River Colony
district General Schalkburger, former
acting President of the Transvaal, who is

Colonel Arthur Collins. C B., gentleman
uaher to the King; United States Consul
James Boyle, the Lord Mayor of Liver
pool, the Right Hon. James Petrie, and
officials of the Cunard Steamship Com
pany. Mr. Reld sold the first intimation
he received that peace in South Africa had
been concluded was contained In a wire
less telegraph message from Crookhaven
received on the steamer at 5 o'clock this
morning. The message caused general re
joicing among the passengers. Mr. Reid
left for London tonight on the boat ex
press. WASHINGTON, June 7. Inquiry at the
British Embassy here developed tho fact
that the application of tho Denver Boers
for transportation to their homes has not
reached the Embassy. The officials do not
yet know how It would be acted upon.
In case of actual distress, the Embassy
In the past has been able to extend some
relief tp stranded English subjects by
securing for them transportation to a
seaport, where they would be able to
sail for home, but there Is no fund suf
ficient to defray a general return of the
many Boers In the United States to
South Africa. It is, therefore, probable
that the Embassy can do- nothing In the
matter in the absence of a special grant
of funds and authority from London.
Disposal of Burghers.
PRETORIA. June 7. The arrangements
for the dlposal of the surrendered
burghers are almost complete. No large

tlement without friction grows brighter
the more one sees of the surrendered
burghers and talks with them.

BERLIN, June 7, The Shah of Persia
took more delight In hearing an Ameri

Martinique sufferers.
GERMAN-AMERICAN ALLLVNCE.
Dr. Paul SerreralPoInts Out Its Ad
vantages. BERLIN, June 7. Dr. Paul Serreral, In
a pamphlet on Germany's alliances, ex
presses the hope that the United States
will take the hand which Germany
stretches out. He says the open-door alms
in China of tho United States and Ger
many aro Identical. Their united Inter
ests there cannot conflict. It is reported
in the East that both nations expect trade
advantages. A political alliance, If It
were possibhs, would not Interfere with
their business rivalry there or elsewhere
In the world. The United States, having
no continental controversies, would not
check any of the purposes of' Germany In
Europe, could also leave Germany a free
hand in Africa, and might even support
Germany there in consideration for Ger
,manyB abandonment of her South'Amerl
can interests. Neither has a fleet suffi
cient for tho complete support of Its alms,
but together they would be equal to any
contingency.
