COLUMBUS, Omro, July 8—The suc- cess of the coal strike hinges on the cut- come of efforts just begun to induce the | West Virginia miners and workers em- ployed by De Armitt, who seems to con- trol the situation in strike.

It was thought these men could not be brought out, and the fact that they bave decided to quit will have | the effect of inducing others to -join the movement, The Panhandle miners met and decided | to throw down their tools in ten honrs | afier the First Pool diggers quit work. These men are aiso under contcact. The Beadling men have also decided to quit. It is said that arrangements have been made for a demonstration at Gastonville and Snowden to-night. A brass band has been engaged, and it is reported that a march will bz made to the mines. If the programme is carried out there will likely be troutsle. z The Shaner diggers on the Baltimore and Ohio Railway have decided to return to work. They mine coal for the Easiorn market, and claim they will not be bene- fited if the strike is either won or lost. The miners of the Yough Coal Com- pany met at Scottdale to-day. They ware working under a verbal contract at 60 cents and quit when the general order was | issued. Nearly 2000 men are employed at | these mines, and it is said they are unx- ious to return to work. President Dolan went to Scottdale this morning, and will endeavor to keep the men in {ine for the 69-cent rate, A number of coal operators seen-to-day say that the strike is becoming serious and more men are out than they thought would join in this movement. -Gty A4:D ESCORTS, BEASS B Music for the Men Wio Re- fuse to Quit Work.

Her Great Interast m B.metall:ism—Gsod Work of the United States Specral Envoys. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 8.—Adispatch to the Tribune from London says: The three special envoys empowered by the United States to negotiate with European powers for a settlement of the silver ques- tion on international lines will have two | embassies behind them in place ol one. They vroduced so good an impression ; | upon the French Government during their stay in Paris that the French embassy in with the American embassy in such conferences and negotiations as may be conducted with the British Government. It has been known that M. Meline and the French Ministry were outspoken in expressing their sympathy for the objects of their mission and in promising that their concurrence would not be wanting for the triumph of the cause of natioual | bimetallism on international lines, but it has not been su-pected that the French Government w uia be prepared to lend | ! diplomatic as well as moral support to this | movement of the McKinley administra- | tion in favor of bimetallism. | Itis neveriheless true that those envoys | in this negotiantion with the Foreign Office | and the Chancellor of the Exchequer will | huve the hearty co-operation of the ¥rench | | and American embassies. | Messers. Wolcott, Stevenson and Paine | are not here on an errand of political ad- | venture. They are successful negotiators, | who have carried their main points in Paris, and have enlisted not only the good will but nlso the active co-operation and diplomatic support of the French Gov- ernment in their London campaign. Em- bassador Hay has been arduously at work | on the same lines ever since his arrival in London, and his prestige and influence | are now of the greatest possible service in | facilitating the work of the envoys, who | are lik- iy to remsin several weeks before returning to Paris. What was originally an effort on the part of the McKinley administration to | carry out the pledges of the Republican | platform respecting bimetallism grounded | on international agreement has become already a joint movement on the part of | the United States and France to bring about a settlement ot the monetary ques- tion througn the action of a new confer- ence.

Bo h Govern- ments have a common interest in obtain- | ing the adjustment of this monetary question which kas cansed a disturbance tnroughout the commercial world, and they are naturally supporting each other in the negotiations now opening in Lon- — - GREAT STORM IN WURTEMBERG.

Alaskan Tells of the Supposed Erup ion That Can Bs Seen Frum Juneau, | PORTLAND, Or., July 8.—An interest- | ling description of the supposed volcano now in ercption on Douglas Isiand, Alaska, was supplied to a local paper this evening by H. G. Harrison of the Tread- well Mining Company. Harrison is in Portland, en route to San Francisco, hav- ing arrived from the north on the last | trip of the Topeka. Speaking of the vol- cano he said: “Numbers of times during the long| summer days, when there is practically not more than an hour of darkness, we have sat in the covered trestle leading from the mine to the mill, and watched the gyrations of steam, mist, cloud, or whatever 1t might be, ascending from the bristling ramparts o! the hoary old peak. Even then it was believed by some of the men that we were watching a volcano in eruption; but to contradict this was the utter Jack of any disturbance of the earth or the rumbling sound usually given forth by even a semi-active volcano, There is an entire absence of the heat in the drifis and workingsof the Treadwell mine, thatis to be found on the Comstock iode and other mining regions. Were Douglas Peak a volcano it would certainly seem that the action of its internal fires would at least permeate the country rock, but two miles distant, and give out, a percepti- ble warmth, *The present disturbauce at the summit of the mountain is more marked and con- tinuous than any baiore noted. e regu- larity witk wuich the jeis of steam burst forth gives credence to the belief that the peak is really in volcanic action. The phenomenon had continued ninely--ix hours without cessation when Ileft J reau on tne Topeka,and the people had generally made up their minds that an- other of nature’s curiosities had been added to that already weirdly curious country.” SRR SRR attempted Swicide at Pasadenn, PASADENA, Can, July 8—Harry Shirk, employed as a driver of an omni- bus, attempted suicide to-day by cutting his throat with a pocket-kmife.

DENVER, Covo., July 8.—The work of the committee having in charge the ar- rangement cf papers 1o be read to-day and to-morrow delayed the assembling of the second day’s session of the Internationa!

Resolutions were introduced as follows and referred without debate: The Exposition Building at Milwaukee, Where the Fducators Hold Their Business Sessions. required for school purposes. Hence it is necessary in the first place in many States to enlarge the units of school taxation. It isirrational to distribute such funds according to school population, since the | cost of maintaining a good school depends only in slight degree upon the number of punils it contains.” William T. Harris, United States Com- missioner of Iducation, read a paper on grading and classification. The speaker said the chie! care in the managemeni of a system of cily schools is to grade or classify the pupils in such a manner that the interests of some are not sacrificed for those of others. When pupils of slower temperament are strained to keep pace with quick and bright ones they become discouraged and demoralized. He advo- cated reclassification every two or three months. Henry Sabin, Superintendent of Public Instruction of lowa, chairman of ths committee of twelve, spoke on *The kiud of Supervision Most Needed.”” He said apervision is a blessing or a curse in pro- portion to the intelligence and skill wiih which it is administered. He closed by saying: “The supervision which 1 have attempted to mark outis that of a live, entiusiastic man in sym- pathy with educational progress, in touch with the common peonle, consecrated to is work, who thinks no sacrifice too great, no labor too severe when made in the cause of the common district schools.” David L. Kiehle, professor of pedagogy, University of Minnesota, read the last paper on the morning prugramme. In an interview with one of the direc- tors to-day the announcement was made that the selection for the next place of meeting would bs made in the order of Sait Lake City, Los Angeles and Omaha. The board of directers reported an amendment for a change in the constitu- tion in regard to the eligibility of officials for active membership, providing that all must pay $2 enroliment fee and the an- nual dues. The proposed amendment was adopted by a large vote. HEROIC RESCUE IN THE SURF. Rockaway Beach Life-Saver Performs a Wonderful Feat in View of Thou- sands of Spectators. ROCKAWAY BEACH, N. Y., July 8.— Oane ol the most heroic rescues that ever took place along this beach occurred when Captain McEnroe of the Volunteer Life- returned bearing the unconscious form of Michael Collins, who had been too ven- tnresome. The rescue was witnessed by more than 3000 people, who cheered Captain McEn- ros heartily for his display of strength and courage, as exhausted by his effort he lay unconscious on the sand. Collins, who lives at 160 West Forty- third street, New York, swam out half a mile, and was caught by the undertow and drawn suil further out. His yells for help were heard by McEnroe. There was no time to launch the boat if the man was to be saved, so McEnroe plunged into the water and with skilled strokes swam swiftly toward the drowning man. Such was the distance that rescuer and rescued were mere black specks to those on shore. Then McEnroe began the re- turn struggie to the beach. It was slow and hard. Collins had become uncon- scious, and was a dead weight. Once Me- Eunroe and the man he was trying so hard to save sank out of sight, and it was thought that both were drowned. There was seen on the surface again, and at last, compietely exhausted, McEnroe landed the man on the beach and sank beside him uncounscious. Dr. Lusk was present, and soon resusci- tated both men. Collins was grateful. He took a big bunck of bills out of his rocket and stuffed them into the box placed to receive donations for the life- savers’ fund. Eesig ON THE DIAMOND.

The most impor- tant witness of the day was Charles Har- ris, the victim of the defendant. Harris testified that on June 19 Plyler and his wife came to the shop in which be was working. Plyler invited him te go buegy-riding in the mountains next day and he accepted. On the next day Plyler told him that he was unable to go riding, as a man he wanted to see was arunk. AtPlyler’sinyitation Harris went wiih defendantand his wife to dinner in a restaurant, which dinner Harris paid for. Hz accompanied Plyler to the depot and the latter invited him to spend the Fourth fHE STAND. at San Jose, offering him $20 with which 10 pay his expenses. Harris refused to take the money. He bid Plyler good-by and went to Mrs. Piyler’s room. Between 1 and 3 o'clock Harris was awakened by the odor of chloroform and saw Plyler bending over him, holding his arm. Plyler tola him to keep his mouth shut or he would put a bullet into him. ‘Did you recognize Plyler?” asked the District Attorney. 5 *Yes, I recognized him and called hll?l’ by name, and he answered with an oath, replied the witness. & Another man placed a handkerchief sat- urated with chloroform on Harris’ face. Mrs. Plyler was alongside the bed crying. Haurris was unabie to identify anybody in the room except Plyler and his wife. There were two men besides the couple. e v piing SOLOMONVILLE'S FAMOUS CASE. United Sta‘es Judge Rouse Reopens the Prisecution cf G orge Ciuff tor Forgery. SOLOMONVILLE, Ariz, Juls 8.—Judze Rouse of the United States District Court has issued an order recalling George Cluff from his celi in the Yuma penitentiary to secure his presence in courtat the hearing of certain teciinical motions to be made by his ‘attorneys. While it seems not at all probable that these motions will effect the release of Cluff, yet the action of the court in permitting their argument throws open again one of the most famous crim- inal prosecutions ever held in the Terri- tory. Ciuff was indicted, tried and found guilty of forgery in a matter of $10 and was sentenced to eighteen months’ im- prisonment. What has given the case its chief fame has been the high standing of the guilty man. For years be had been well and favorably known throughout the Southwest, and his indictment for forgery Was a great surprise to almost everybody. Cluft isa Mormon who has stoced high in the councils of the church, being also a graduate cf tbe Ogden Mormon academy. He is a young man of good address and of consigerable ability as a public speaker. He has been 8 Republican ior years, and at the last election was the successful can- didate for Probate Judge ana Superin- tendent of Schools for Graham County. Immediately prior to that he was princi- pal of the public schools at Pima. Four years ago he was the nominee of the Republican party for State Senator-at- large, the most responsible position within the gift of any political party in the Ter- ritory, He is a married man, whose domestic relations have been most happy, the father of several young children, ana a man presumably of moust exemplary habits. This is the person who was re- cently convicted of raising a school- teacher’s warrant $10 above its face value, and then attaching a fictitious name in order to cash it. About a year and a half ago the central trustees of Graham County discovered somet hing] wrong in their accounts, and upon comparing their books with 1hose of the Probate Judge and County School Superintendent a shortage o: $64 was dis- covered 1n Cluff’s accounts. He repaid the money at once, but the Board of Su- pervisors went ahead and had the books experted. No further deficiencies were found by the expert, but he discovered several “raised” teachers’ certificates and four different cases of forgery tor petty sums. In all the Grand Jury returned nearly a dozen d:fferent indictments, and on one of these Cluft was finally convicted after a most stubborn legai battle. When sentence was passed upon him last week, George Cluff, although de- fended by some of the best legal talent in Arizona, mads an eloguent and masterful T-view of the case in his own behalf. Public sentiment, which has run high, has been divided in the matter, many de- claring that C.uff is a victim of persecu- tion, and others beiieving thatonly justice has been done him, in spite of his high office and sociul and political standing. e Eureka’s Dead Ballonists. EUREKA, CaL., July 8.—The body of J. ‘W. Tapscott, the balioon assistant, who was killed in Monday’s accident, was to- day expressed to Aberdeen, Wash., where the unfortunate man’s wife and child re- side. George Weston Daggett, the aero- naut, was to have been buried to-day at 1 o’clock. At noon a message was received from his sister in San Francisco, and the remains will not be interred until word is received from his mother, who lives in Pine Grove, Sonoma County. Hundreds of people, not knowing the funeral had been stopped, congregated in Ocean View Cemetery. The floral offerings brought by the sympathetic and lamenting towns- people were numerous and expensive. _— War of Stockton Steamer Lines. STOCKTON, CaL., July 8.—The Calitor- nia Navigation anad Improvement Com- pany brought suit to-day against the Union Transportation Company for dam- ages and a restraining order. The com- plaint alleges that the {)Innnfi bas leased from tke California Wharf and Ware- house Company the property knowa as the Wakefield Landing, which consists of a strip extending 1000 feet along the San Joaquin River, having a depth of 100 feet. Tuis is one of the landings where both the steamer lines have beeu taking produce aboard their boats, and the lease which the Navigation Company effected was evi- dently made in order that it might enjoy the exclusive right. S St Clears a Shasta Mystery. REDDING, Can, July 8. — William Wright, commonly known as ‘*‘Barley Sack Bill,”” disappeared from his home near Fall River mills in the spring of 1896. His whereabouts have since been shrouded in mystery, and it was supposed that In- dians bad waylaid him, robbed bim of money and whisky he was inown to have had on his person and killed him. Last Saturday a man discovered the wagon and harness belonzing to the missing man. Around the wagon were scattered human bones and decaying articles of wearing apparel. It is now believed—and thare seems to be ample evidence for the be- lief—that Wright was murdered, and that his body has lain exposed to the elements since. SEARCHING FOR A HOMAN HEAD Police - Boats Dragging the Bottom of the East River. Thorn’s Time Is Unaccounted for the Day Guldensuppe Was Murdered. District Attorney Secures an In= dictment Agalnst Him and Mrs. Nack NEW YORK, N. Y., July 8.—Martin Thorn, the man who, with Mrs, Augusta Nack, is accuted of murdering William Guldensuppe, the bathhouse rubber, and cutting up his body, was kept on the rack by the police most of the day. He aid not confess ‘that he was a murderer, but he made some statements which the offi- cials decline to give out at present, and they say they do not care whether he con- fesses or not. They ciaim the evidence they have is sufficient to convict him, and Mrs. Nack at least as an accessory. A significant jeature of Thorn's staiement is that relating to his whereabouts on the day the murder is supposed to have been committed. Of that day he says: “Friday morning, June 25, I zotoutof bed about 9 o’clock and went to E'eventh avenue and Thirty-fourth street, to the same saloon where I had been theday before. It must have been about 10or 11 o’clock when I reached the saloon. I played pinochle with Barber Carl and others. I reluse to say anything further about that day except that I wen: to Ma- loney’s about 10 o’clock at night and went to bed at 10:45 the same night.” The important point in this statement Is the refusal of Thorn to say anything about his whereabouts on Friday, June 25, from 10 o’clock in the morning to 10 o’clock that night. It was some time be- tween those hours that the murder was com mitted. District Attorney Oicott had half a dozen witnesses in the'case on hand to- day and ook them before the Grand Jury. An indictment was found in a few min- utes sgainst Mrs, Nack and Thorn. The yolice up to to-night had not rezovered the watch and clothing of Guldensuppe, which Thorn pawned. They did find some pawn tickets i Thorn’s pockets. These, however, were for things Thorn owned himself, The work of dragging the bottom of East River for Guldensuppe’s head was begun by the poiice this morning, when Captain Shuliz detailed for the undertak- ing four launches. The police have no definite idea wiere tne head, in its plaster of paiis covering, was dropped into the water, but on the chance that they micht pick itup with grapphng hooks, four ex- pert grapplers were hired, one for each | launch. Th~ work was wailched with cu- | riosiiy by the crowds tha: gathered on the piers and by the passengers on the ferry and excursion boats. The net result of the search was an old coat, discarded by a tugboat engineer, and a lot of crap iron and rope ends. The Herald to-morrow will say that Martin Thorn has confessed to the polica that he killed Guldensuppe. He made a complete acknowledgment of his con- nection with the crime. The Herald says Thorn admitted everything except that Mrs. Nack had anything to do directly with the killing. The story differs but little from that told by Barber Gartha, to whom Thorn told the details some days ago. Thorn’s one concern after his arrest was the protection of Mrs. Nack. He mada no secret of his warm regard for the woman and insisted that she had nothing to do with Guldensuppe’s death. T am perfectly willing to die,”’ Thorn told tne detectives; ‘‘but I don’t want anything to happen to her.” TRAGEDY AT TOMBSTONE, Seven-Tear-0ld Boy Kills Hiv Little Sis= ter With a Bullet.
