The SAN FRANCISCO, MONDAY MORNING, JULY 5, 1897. PRICE FIVE CENTS. THE BATTLE | FOR BREAD AND BUTTER: Coal Miners Lined Up for the Gigantic Struggle. | SANGUINE OF ULTIMATE VICTORY. Some Doubt as to Whether the Strike Will Be General. DISTRICTS THAT SEEM TO B:| UNCERTAIN. Andrew Carnegle and His Pittsburg Partner Hold the Key to the Situation. COLUMBUS, Onro, July 4—A grave eituation confronts the miners of the country who, in obedience to the edict of the officials of the United Mine-workers, have struck. Suspension would really have been forced by the Ohio miners seeking to prevent a further reduction of | the min rate in this State, and now an increase in the rate in all coal-producing States is demanded. | Operators in Pittsburz districts are at | sent paying 45 cents a ton, while in | | THE SALTLAKE CITY TABERNACLE IN WHICH ~ “HE ENDEAVORERS " \ HELD A GRAND SABBATH RALLY.YESTERDAF| 5 Z Ohio the rate 1 cents. To enable Ohio operators to successfully compete with | P.ttsburg it is necessary that a 9-cent dif- | ferential rate be maintained between the | Siates. The Onio miners have been dis- | satisfied for mmany months and ready to| strike af any time in order to bring an in- crease of wages, and yet, during this time, operators have been insisting upon a re- duction in the rate from 51 to 45 cents uantil the Pittsburg operators could be in- | duced to pay bette ge Obio operators say they would willingly grant an increase it the Pittsbur: oper- | ators could be induced todoso. As be-| tween these States the rate now demanded 1s 60 cents for Ohio and 69 cents for Penn- sylyania. National President R. ord has full confidence in the final ome of the strixe, and says it will be a peacefui con- test. In other quarters grave doubts are expressed as to whether the suspension will be general. It is not believed the miners of West | Virginia will join the strike, and, as was the case during tbe great strike of 1894, the operators of that State will supply the Ohio trade. Ohio operators have becn an- ticipating the suspension for some time ! and are well prepared, as a large amount of coal has recently been mined and loaded on trains ready jor shipment. The miners of Northwestern Kentucky, who helped to break the strike in 1394 ere still at work, and 1t is not believed the miners of Danville (Ill.) district will take any part in the strike. | Maryland, Pocabhontas and Central i Pennsylvania show no signs of beginning | strikes, neither do the miners at V\'c!l-‘ moreland, and unless the suspension be- comes general the strike will be a failure. The contest is really against the New | York and Clevelana Coal and Gas Com- | pany, controlled by Andrew Carnegie and | De Armitt, a big Pittsburg operator. Al" | though these men pay less wages they | are generous in their treatment of men, | and especially is this true of De Armitt, | who only eives work to the number whom Le can employ constantly. { He also pays cash, while most of the | operators have company siores, against which there has always been a protest. All other operators will graut the de- mands of the minersif Carnegieand De | Armitt do so. President Ratehford could not give the | exact situation to-night, but expects 1o | receive official reports to-morrow from all the mining districts in the country. He is lexs nopeful of the situation in West Virginia than in any other part of the country. —— it AT SPRING VALLEY, ILL, Forty-Five Thowsand Men Affcoted in the Distriot. SPRING VALLEY, Ivn, July 4—This morning the miners of Bpring Valley en- tered upon strike. The feeling amoug the leaders is that the fignt will be short. Provisions are already growing short and storekeepers are allowing their stocks to run down, being afraid of the accounts that wiil pile up. The day was observed by a monster miners’ picnic in the park, where thou- hold the new labor revolution. The speakers were not incendiary and asked that the law be respected. The strike affects in this field—which embraces the cities of Spring Valley, Pern | and LaSalle and the viliages of Ladd, Mar- quette, Seatonville, Oglesby and Coal Hol- low, all within a :adius of fifteen miles of here —iuliy 45000 miners. The Spring Valley Coal Company has two of its Lig shafts under repairs, and they will not be | abandoned, according to a resolution passed by the miners themselves, as great | damage would thas be inflicted to the | company’s property. THE INDIANA SITUATION. Some of the Men Manifest a Quarrelsome BDisporition. INDIANAPOLIS, Inp., July 4. — Re- ports from the mining districts to-day leave no doubt that the strike in the coal fields will be general to-morrow. It is now conceded that all miners, with the possible exception of those in Clinton County, will zoout. Agents of the miners’ organization were among the employes of the Clinton mines to-day and found their sympathy with the proposed strike very strong, but yet there is some doubt as to the Clinton miners joining. Most of them were idle during the win- ter and many are in arrears with local merchants, who are using their influence to prevent them going our. Some of the employes in the Owen, Pike and Vandersburgh County fields have manifested a quarrelsome disposition and the people expect trouble if the strike should be protracted. The better class of strikers, however, have pledged them- selves to assist the authorities in main- taming order. Hundreds of miners leit their camps to-aay for surrounding farms, where they will get temporary work. SRt i ania PITISNURG'S ¢ VAL SUPPLY. Seayeity R-garded as Aid to the Men, PITTSBURG. Pa., July 4.—One inter- esting feature of the miners’ strike that will be a material aid 10 the men is the fact that the supply of coal is not haif as large as reported. Instead of having great stores of surplus fuel on hand, it be- comes more evident each day that lake whippers can get rid of all the coal on the old tracks about Cleveland within the Ies a Material ‘next ten days. This statement is made upon the authority of the geueral manager of one of the largest coal firms in the Pittsburg district. He says hi; firm has canvassed the situation about Cleveland, and finds that the number of loaded cars in that [ meighborbood will l than 2400, i HOWE TAVERN A MECCA. not eggregate more | The Wayside lan Reopened As a Summer sands assembled to listen to the Deciara- | | tion of Independence and speeches to up- | Resort, Where Travelers May S:ill | Swep Tales. BOSTON, Mass., July 4.—Longfellow’s famous wayside inn at Sudbury, Mass., is bscoming a veritable Canterbury for liter- ary pilgrims. The old Howe tavern, known all over the world from the | “Tales of a Wayside Inn,” has just been | reopened as a summer resort and has | made the town of Sudbury a very popular | place. Though the season is still young over a | thousand pilgrims have found their way to the wayside hostelry. The members of the Longfellow family have taken great interest in the reopening of the old tavern, and Mrs. Rich, Henry Dana and Mrs. Annie Longfellow Thorp have been. among the first guests. A great transformation has taken place in the inward appearance of the tavern. The rooms are now enriched by many pieces of antique furniture, by china paintings and bric-a-brac. The host of the tavern is Edwara R. Lemon. The new proprietor of the Wayside Inn has named the different rooms in honor of famous characters. These are the ones selec. ed : Washington, Paul Revere, Long- feliow, Ole Bull, Howe, Parsons, Lafay- ette, Stark, Emerson, Thoreau and Grant. —_—— McKINLEY'S FOURTH OF JULY. Wears a Mtraw Hat, Amokes and Goes to Chwyeh. CANTON, Onio, July 4.—President Mc- Kinley and Mrs. McKinlev are greatly en- joying their visit. The President retired late last night, thoroughly fatigued. But neither heat nor fatigue kept him from the morning service in the First M. E. Church of which he is still a member. He and Mother McKinley were.among the earliest of the large congregation. in the opening pruver Rev. Dr. Man- chester, who served in the President’s regiment, referred to the President asking for him divine guidance in his official duty, and that he might gain added sirength during the few days’ rest. The President and Mrs. McKinley, with a few friends, participated in a family dinner at the home of M..C. Barber. Later the President returned to his mother’s home to spend the remainder of the day and evening, leaving it only long enough to take a drive about sundown. The President is getting as much comfor: as possible outof his visit. The tall silk hat, which is usually asso- ciated with his public appearance, was discarded for a straw hat of conventional shape, and he wore a light serge sack suit. It was in this attire that he went to church this morning. He wus seen later on the vine-clad piazza of his mother’s house, smoking a cigar and scanning the papers. ‘EEE\YY @Mfi\i@@ WUUD CUSAND STRONG f A CORNER OF ThHE bk BAGGAGE RCoOM UNCLE S LION'S TAL England Called Upon to Fulfill Her Obli- gations.

LONDON, Exg., July 4.—The Chron- icle’s Washington correspondent cables: Coming swift upon the heels of jubilee expressions of amity on the partof the United States, it will be an unpleasant surprise to know that the present admin- istration, in its diplomatic intercourse with England, is adopting a tone as sharp as that which characterized Cleveland’s. Within a few days, possibly Wednesday, the President will transmit to Congress corrgspondence relating to the aeal fisher- ies. It contains a most important” dis- patch, aated May 10, 1897, from Sherman to Embassador Hay, a copy of which Hay was directed to hand to Salisbury. The dispatch covers six or eight large printed pages. It reviews the efforts of the United States and treat Britain to carry out the terms of the Paris award, and claims that the United States has loyally adhered to TWISTS THE the findings of the tribunal, while insinu- atinz that Englana has been guilty of bad faith. . It aoes not charge Great Britain with evasion, duplicity and bad faith in set terms, but that is the tenor of the dis- patch, the publication of which will un- donbtedly cause irritation and resentment in Engiand. | The dispatch is nominally signed by Sherman, but is really the joint work of Foster and Hamiin. The administration is proud of the dispatch and believes it will be received with as much popular ap- proval as Olnev’s Venezuelan dispatch. The Foreign Office has not answered the dispaich beyond making formal acknowl- | edgment of its receipt. Oue of the latest dispatches calls Great Britain’s attention to the fact that the United States maintains five vessels in Bering Sea to prevent illegal sealing, while Great Britain maintains only two, one of which is a yacht. WANTS MORE FIGHTING SHIPS. Secretary Long Does Not Propose to Leave | the Pac fic Coast at the Mercy of Japan. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 4—The Her- ald’s Washington special says: Secretary Long will recommend to Congress at its next session thatauthority be given for the construction of additional battleships and torpedo boats. Some of the former type of ships will undoubtediy be con- tracted for with Pacific Coast firms. De- partment officials say that at least five battleships should be assigned to the Pa- cific station in addition to the cruisers and gunboats already there. The administration will probably award a contract for one of the thirty-knot tor- pedo boats, bids for which were received some days ago, to a Pacific Coast firm. Commander O’Neil, Chief of the Burean of Ordnance; Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn and Engineer-in-Chief Melville were in consultation to-day over the bids. It looks as though their recommenda- tions would be favorable to Eastern firms entirely, but the department will proba- bly decide to give a Western firm a con- tract for one vessel at least. Army and navy officers say that, with the naval force on the Pacific Coast and in Asiatic waters and the coast defenses al- ready completed, the country would have no difficulty in defeating Japan should she forcibly contest our rights to annex Hawaii. el e G@aribaldi’s Son to Turn Farme. ROME, Itavy, July 4.—The Messagere says that Menotti Garibaldi, son of the famous Italian_patriot, has decided to go to America and take up farming. Hundreds ' of - ENERAL SECRETARY BAER| and all the other prominent | Endeavorers who have arrived | from places beyond the coast are delighted with the evidences of California hespitality and surprised at the extent of the interest and general beauty | of the decorations. All the churches of San Francisce have been turned into great reception-rooms where the delegatious from various States will rally and be thoroughly entertained. The spirit of hospitality isso great that all denominations seem to be linked in one great band to greet the thousands of strangers who will soon be in the City to carry out many of the purposesof the great Christian society, as well as to see the City and study the advantages and beauties of the coast. Many of the churches will be elaborately uecorated be- fore the week is over, waving with bunt- ing, purple and gold, and being buried | amid a wilderness of flowers. This feature East, as tney will have an opportunity to study in an elaborate way the wealth of this State’s floral growth. The energetic young secretary, who comes from Boston, has telegraphed and written to his associates and friends that if they were in San Francisco they would feel at home as much as in the conserva- tive State of education, religious culture and historic memories. *1t is the first city that has ever honored us with a grand triumphal ar_4, like that on Market street,” was one of the secre- tary’s first remarks, took the fast limited train, desiring to confer with the local officers ahead of the convention. The general secretary of the United Society ot Christian Endeavor leit the New England excursion in Neoraska and reached San Francisco yesterday morning on one of the delayed trains. Inspeaking of the convention Mr. Baer said: “This convention is going far beyond all our expectatious in point of size as well as enthusiasm. I thoughtI was placing the estimate of attendance very high when I said there would come 5000 Endeavorers from the east of the Missouri River, but that number will be exceeded by—wel! let me be very conservative for these raiiroad | men watch closely for my estimates—weil | say by 2000 or 5000. It is marvelous the way the railroads have handled the vast number of people with so little interfer- ence with the regular traflic and such | freedom from accidents. Barring the Chicago accident and one or two minor ones everything has gone remarkably | well. The accident at Chicago has had | the effect of increasing the care and | watchfulness on all the lines and now the | eyes of the railroad men all over the coun- try are turred io the Central Pacific to sce | how it will handle the big crowds to be turned over to it at 12 o'clock to-night at | Ogden. ; Idon't ses how it is zoing to get loco- | motives enough to carry all the trains, | but the officials say they are ready and able to handte not only the Endeavor trains but the great number of overflow of regular traffic brought by about the low rates.

The decorations equal those of the great Boston meeting, and the welcome arch on Market street is ahead of anything atany previous meet- ing. Why, I never saw the people any- where so generally decorate their places. Even the saloons have weicome signs out, and we may surprise some of them by go- ing in and holding a prayer-meeting. ““You can say for me that tois meeting is going to be one of the best and biggest SECRETARY BAER’S GREETING.

He al<o offered vprayer at the pawriotic meeting at the Yonng Men's Christian Association auditorium in afterncon. He has been in bad nealth for the past three days, and is well worn out lessening of activity. A beautiful illustration of the relation between the day of political celebration and that of the coming of the religious people was afforded at the Calvary Pres- byterian service in the morning. Mr. Baer looked at the emblem over the altar, which was “Piety and Pairiotism,” and- ; | this gave nim his theme. The emblem | “u. E.” was worked in with the ome - “Piety and Patriotism,” and the speaker. said that this was the real idea of true Christianity, the blending of such 1deas in a way that the people would be im- pressed with their duty to God and to government. P The speaker told the congregation that : be was pleased that preparations for the convention’ were so far advanced, He' | said there wounid be 530 members with the Bosion delegation and that they had greatly enjoyed their trip over tbe conti- - nent and expected to have the best time [ here they have ever had ata convention. According to an idea at the outset of the trip there was a chaplain in each car. The passengers of each car invented a call similar to a college yell and they often amused themselves by visiting the other - cars and tryingghe yell. s Y. M. C. A. SERVICES Patriotism and Christianity Blend During the Day. That patriotism and Christianity go hand in hand was evidenced by the meet- | ing yesterday afternoon at the auditorium of the Y. M. C.

Nor were those who came in expectancy of something good disappointed, for a pro- gramme was rendered that combined re- ligion and Fourth of July celebra:ion. ‘When the entire audience united in sing- * ing ““All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,” - | at the opening, the volume of sound ‘was only equaled when the same voices com- bined in the rendition of “America” at. - the close.
