The care ol the national organization now will be to nee to the collection ol the de fen ae fund that la to carry on the strike. Secretary Wilson, financial bead ot the union, ii in Chicago this week and will lose no time in making proviaion to handle the sums. It ia believed that all the voluntary contri butions Irom the various dial rk-te and local organizations will be turned into his hands within the next 10 days. These are eatimated at about $400,000. A part ol the contributions has already been turned in, Ohio leaving a check lor 1 10,000 before its delegation left IndtanaN)li(, and $50,000 from Illinois is expected tomorrow. A systematic plan will lie adopted lor onvassing for outside sulwcrlptions, and it is probable that central lalxir unions in all big cities will tie asked to take charge of tlie task, ine miners nope to raise $250,000 a week from the public contri butions, as that sum will be needed to bring the sum np to $500,000. In a statemnet issued today Presi dent MiU'hell estimates that contribu tiona from districts, subdistricts and local organizations for defraying strike rxpeni-es will amount to $400,000, and estimates the weekly afsetaments from the 24 districts of the country at $244,000, of which $7,000 is expecte from Colorado miners. The total num ber of anthracite strikers in tbe Penn sylvania field is estimated at 150,000, and the total number ol dependents in that field ia placed st 750.000.

Secretary Root today sent to the president at Ovsler Pay the proceedings and findings in the court martial cases ol Major Edwin F. Glenn. Fifth infantry; Lieutenant Julien E. Gaujot, Tenth cavalry, and Lieutenant Norman E Cook, rlllpino scouts. Cilenn was fonnd guilty of administering the water cure to natives or permitting it to be done and was sentenced to one month's suspension from duty and fined $50, Lieutenant Cook was acquitted on charge ol giving orders to kill three Filipino prisoners. The testimony showed that he had given orders to shoot ' the prisoners it they attempted to escape. The Filipino scouts, to whom this order was given, thought it meant to shoot the prisoners. In forwarding the case to the presi dent, the secretary recommended that the sentences and findings be approved but that no other action shall betaken It is not believed that the president who is tbe reviewing authority in these cases, will make any comments, such as were delivered by him in the case of General Smith. It is shown in the evidence and reports that Major Glenn has perlormed excellent service and has done much to pacify the country where he has been in command. PORTLAND MARKETS. TO DEFEND COAST.

Land Com- issioner Hermann, Forest (superin tendent Ornrnby and the geobgical sur vey have united in recommending to ie secretary of the interior the tem porary withdrawal ol three tracts ol nd in Crook, Grant, Harney, liaker, Malheur, Umatilla, Union and Wal lowa counties, embodying the peaks nd heavily timbered regions ol the Strawberry, Blue and Powder River mountains, the total area being ap proximately 6,000 square miles. This ithdrawal, if made, will be the first itep in the direction of creating a vast forest reserve in Eastern Oregon, where, in the opinion of the survey and land office.'there is a crying need for protec tion of the timbei and water supply, especially as it is contemplated to con struct storage reservoirs in theee sec tions. Tbe largest withdrawal recommended is roughly L-haped, the bae of the L running north and south along the Blue mountains, and the upright running east and west along the Mraw berry mountains. The latter section s approximately 120 miles from east west, varying in width from six to 18 miles. The Blue mountain section varies in width from 19 to 4U miles, and extends due south from the Uma tilla Indian reservation for 100 miles, to ita intersection with the Strawberry mountain withdrawal, the two forming right angle. These combined with drawals embrace about 80 townships. including the head waters of the John Day, til vies, Crooked, Malheur, Grand Konde and Powder rivers and number. Ie?s tributary streams. The recommended Powder River mountain withdrawal embraces tliout 28 townships in Baker, Union and Wal lowa counties, the tract being 45 miles from eat to west, and 18 miles north and south, with a corner of the 30 square miles added on the northwest. This tract includes the headwaters of the Wallowa and Grand Ronde rivers and their tributaries south and west of Euterprine. The third withdrawal recommended is almost wholly in the northern end of Union county, and embraces about 14 townships in the Blue mountain range that extends into Washington. It forms the watershed of a portion of the Grand Ronde river. Commissioner Hermann and Super intendent Ormsby, in addition to those tracts, also recommended the tempo rary withdrawal of about 41 townships lying south and adjoining tbe first recommended Strawberry mountain withdrawal, being a tract 24 miles from north to south, and 90 miles from east to west. All of the recommended withdrawals are irregular in shape, and art) laid out to exclude, as far as possible, all lands that are agricultural in character, or are now owned by set tlers. The lines have been drawn to eliminate the towns of Canyon, Izee, Silviea, Seneca, Prairie, Clifford, Sumpter, McEwen, Meacham, Joseph and others. Naval Engagement Takes Place Off Between Government sad Rebel Boat. Panama, Colombia, July 22. The nsiirgent gunboats Padilla and Darien apared last night between Flemonico and Ottiqne islands.

The tor nado w hich struck Baltimore yesterday aftercoon, involving the lose of 12 lives I astern, waa immediately carried out, and a widespread destruction of prop- sengers. , The captains of the vessels gave themselves up to the police. Tbe Primus was the oldest boat on tbe Elbe. She was built in England in 1844 and had never before met with an accident. Tbe Hamburg-American line, which owned the Hansa, iasued s statement to the effect that tbe weather was fine, the moon was shining and both vessels were steering absolutely clear of each other. Suddenly tha Primus, when about 450 feet from the Hansa, put her rodder hard a port and crossed the bows of the latter. "This mistake," continues the state ment, "rendered a collision unavoid able. The only possible step for the Hanaa to Uke, namely, to go full speed erty, was the severest that bad been known in this section for 17 years No storm had been forecasted. Almost r.ithout a moment's warning an irre sistible wind, apparently in tbe nature of a whirlwind, came up from the southwest, and in an instant the waters of the harbor were converted into a seething cauldron, frail boats were capsized, while the etaunchest vessels at anchor were violently rocked. A careful estimate today shows that 200 houses were unroofed during the storm. The roof of the William street Independent Methodist church was lifted high in the air and blown over the roofs of other houses a distance of 150 feet. The stone spire of the Holy Cross Catholic church was hurled to the ground. 'A part of the roof of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Puget Sound to Have Artillery Potti Sum of $240,000 Hai Been Set Ailde. Washington, July 23. The war de partment has taken steps to defend Puget sound more effectually against foreign enemies by authorizing the con. strnction of coast aitillery posts at Forts Worden and Casey. For th purpose $240,000 has been allotted for erecting frame barracks and officers' quarters lor twe companies of coast artillery each, together with guard houses, stables and administrative offices, and other smaller buildings necessary to equip an army post. The buildings will be erected by contract, according to plans being prepared by the quartermaster's department. It. is proposal to provide quarters for one company at each post, before the full equipment is undertaken, as the de fenses nowi in position are without proper protection. A general sum has been set aside tor erecting small buildings and making repairs at the coast artillery posts, which will include work at the mouth of the Columbia river. Forty Thousand Strike. New York, July 2b. The 25,000 gai ment makers who struck yesterday for higher wage and shatter hours were joined today by about 15,000 others,! who asked that 66 houis be considered a week's work As this is the dull season in the trade, it is ex pected that it will be tome days before th various interests get together.

Boat were immediately lowered from the Hansa and ropes and ladders were thrown overboard. Fifty persona were rescued by the boats. At the same time, the Hansa tried to push th Primus ashore, but being of deeper draft, grounded herself before th pas senger boat. The Primua floated down stream and sank 200 feet from the Hansa."

Have Already Been Received by Officers. Indianapolis, Ind., July 24. Presi dent Mitchell will leave for Chicago tomorrow afternoon. He will stty in that city a day or two and will go direct to Wilkesbarre to resume active management of the strike. The national officers attc.ch a great deal of importance to the resolution reported by the committee 'appointed by the convention to draw up tn ex. pression in regard to the recent mine horrors in which so many men lost their lives. In this resolution atten tion is called to the fact that in several instances the miners have been back to work in mines before the bodies of their friends had been removed. This afternoon several large con tributions for the strike fund were received. District No. 13 (Iowa) sent $5,000; the Boilermakers' and Iron Shipbuilders' National sent $540. Indianapolis unions met tonight and resolved to assess members at least 1 per cent per week on their earnings for the anthracite strikers. This will amount to $2,000 per week.
