but
Pittsburg. Sept. 6. Masa meetings
are being held today all over Pittsburg
district by striking miners for the pur
pose of appointing delegates to the dis
trict convention which meets here to
morrow to consider the Columbus com
promise, and elect delegates to the na
tional convention at Columbus on
Wednesday.
While some of the leading miners
have stated they will contend for in
structions to the Columbus delegates to
vote for sixty-nine cents or nothing, it is
thought the sixty-nine cent men will be
in the minority and unable to farther
their plan.
A number of operators have received
assurances that the miners formerly at
work for them will ratify the agreement
arrived at Columbus, and will vote to
return to work at the Bixty-five cent rate.
President Dolan, Secretary William
and District Organizer Cameron Miller
say they fee1 sure the great majority of
miners will vole to accept the sixty-five
cent rate.
Mining officials say the struggle
against the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Company will be pushed. Ac
ceptance of eixty-five cent rate, they say,
in no way arfects the price to be paid
the diggers at the mines of this com
pany, and until the mineworkers can
force President W . P. DeArmitt to pay
the district price without a differential
in his favor, the fight against him will
be continued.

New York, Sept. 6. A dispatch
the Herald from Montevideo says ;
The United States gunboat Castine,
which has been stationed in these waters
for some time, ran aground yesterday
outside the bay during aheavy wind.
The essel was unable to pull away, and
the steamers Plata and Eepublica . fin
ally went to her assistance. The Cas
tine, with their aid, cleared the reef and
was towed into the bay. Juet what
damage was done to the gunboat is not
known, but an examination is now .be
ing mada.
The gunboat Lancaster sailed yester
day from Montevideo for Rio de Janeiro
and Bahia. She will then proceed to
Boston.
was received today by the Evening
News from Wa Wa City, a newly laid
out city in the Michipocoten gold country,
on Lake Wa Wa, Ontario. The embryo
town is located in a narrow pass which
leads to Lake Wa Wa from the landing
place on the shore of Lake Superior,
which is but six miles from the gold
discoveries. The special says:
Quartz has been found here that as
says over $300 a ton. It is found not in
one section, but in different places, ex
tending over several thousand acres.
Quartz Las been found here containing
free gold in chunks as big as kernels of
I wheat.' Prospectors every day are find
ing specimens that assay $50 to the ton.
"Probably 100 men are today working
in the hills. Another, partv of sixty-
five reached here yeeterday afternoon.
Several thousand acres have already
been claimed, but there are all kinds of
disputes about the priority of,caims.
The country where the discoveries were
made has never been opened for settle
ment. The only inhabitants about are
Indians and Hudson Bay traders, and
they are few.
Jose Dolores Rodriguez, minister of
the Greater Republic of Central America
to the United States, who is now in Cen
tral America, has cabled the following
statement to the Herald regarding the
assertion that Japan has been treat-
ng with the diet for control of the
Nicaragua canal project :
"Yoa may positively say that Japan
has made to us no overtures in reference
to a canal concession."
A. PANIC CAUSED BY A FIRE.
Vigorous Quarantine Regulations to Be
Enforced.
Austin, Tex., Sept., 6. State Health
Officer Swearington today issued an iron
clad quarantine against Ocean Springs,
Miss., and all other points now affected
or likely to be affected by yellow fever.
Reports from the Gulf coast are to the
effect that the inhabitants are badly
frightened, aud some are talking of re
organizing their shotgun quarantine
force which patrolled the Gulf shore
some twelve years ago to keep oat all
persons, and thereby prevent the
disease from entering the Btate.
Genuine Yellow FeTer.
Jackson, Miss., Sept. 6. Governor
McLaurin has just received the follow
ing telegram from two members of the
state board of health, who went to Ocean
Springs, Miss., yesterday to investigate
the yellow fever scare.
"After the most thorough investigation
in every conceivable light it is the unani
mous opinion of representatives of the
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi
state boards of health and marine hos
pital service that the epidemic now pre
vailing in Ocean Springs is yellow fever
H. H. Harkason,
J. F. Huntbe."
May Not Be Yellow Fever.
Washington, Sept. 6. The Marine
hospital service is investigating the fe
ver at Ocean Springs, Miss., and the in
formation at hand inclines them to the
belief that the disease is not yellow fe
ver, though conclusive information is
not at hand.
THE LTJCK OF THE EUGENE.
A Leaky-
Hull Checks the Unhappy
Steamer's Voyage.
Vancouver, B. C, Sept. 6. The
steamship Capilano, Captain Powis, re
turned this morning from Juneau, Dyea
and bkaguay. She brings down one
miner from Juneau who is disgusted
with the outlook for getting to the gold
fields this fall. Her cattle and horses
were landed safely, but American cus
toms officials charged a duty of $30 on
each horse.
On the way down the Capilano spoke
the steamer Bristol and the sternwheeler
Eugene, which left Victoria last week, at
Alert bay. The Eugene commenced leak
ing soon after leaving Union, where it
will be remembered she was seized by
customs regulations, but' got away by
cutting her hawser. It took the Bristol
twenty-four hours to tow the Eugene
back to Alert bay. An attempt is being
made to patch her up, but the passen
gerB refuse to travel on her. They
wanted to charter the Capilano, but as
she had a passenger for Vancouver Cap
tain Powis was unable to assist them
He spoke the steamer Tees of Victoria
on the way down and doubtleBS she will
go to their assistance.
The (Japilona brings no news of lm
portance from the north. The crush at
t)vea aud Skaguay is as great as ever
and many disheartened people are daily
turning back.

Decides Against the Government.
New Yoek, Sent. 6. A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says :
The report of Perry Heath, first as
Blatant postmaster-general, acting aB
referee in the controversy between the
Western Union Telegraph Company and
the federal government has been filed in
the court of Claims, though it has not
yet been officially made public.
The report sustains the telegraph com
pany's claim to a just compensation . for
services performed from 1889. to 1893;
which Postmaster-Generals Wanamaker
and Bissel, as may be remembered, re
peatedly refused to allow. The court is
expected to approve the report, and it it
is a fact it will be promptly certified to
by the department. The latter will then
submit the matter to congress.
Before the amount can be paid an ap
propriation will, of course, have to be
passed.' The amount involved is over
quarter of a million' dollars. . r

Close Call For Ban Francisco Orpneum
Patrons.
San Francisco, Sept. 6. Fire in the
Orpheum theater just before the close of
the performance last night created much
excitement and a panic attended with
loss of lite was narrowly averted. The
casualities were confined to slight in
juries to a few persons.
In the theater there is an electrical
apparatus known as the cinematograph
by which pictures are thrown on a white
ground on the stage. It is operated
from a small closet built on the front of
the gallery. The sides of the closet were
of muslin. This material caught fire
and began dropping on the heads of the
audience below. A cry of "fire" was
raised and a rush for the exits was'made.
One man pushed bis arm through a
glass door and was badly cut. An elder
ly lady was thrown down and trodden
on, but was revived and taken away
by her daughter. A man jumped from
a second-story window and his head was
cut in several places.
The fir a was extinguished before it
spread. Within a few minutes the ex
citement had subsided and the perfor
mance was continued to the end of the
program with the exception af the cine
matograph pictures.
