DETROIT, Micr., July 13.—Coo!, pleas- ant weather was furnished for the open- ing of the tenth annual convention of the National League of Republican clubs, The most striking feature in the decora- tions of t:e auditorium was a life-siz vorirait of President Mc mounted by an eagle and surrounded by the stars and stripe Directly opposite, in the rear of the hall, was a similar por- trait of James G.

Pictures of Washington and Lincoln adorned the walls at either end of the big hall and the intervening spaces, rafters ana gallery onts were hung with the red, white ana blue escutcheons of the States. A graduated tier of seats having a ca- pacity of 3000 was occupied by the more notable delegates. The aelegates, seated State groups, filled nearly the en:xre: floor space, and the public looked on from lieries. The States having the delegations were grouped in the nd center, the biggest spaces being ed by Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, New < and Pennsylvania.

CARDENAS, ProvINCE OF MATANZAS, Cupa, July 7.—The Sun correspondent, after a difficult ride through the Spanish lines, has interviewed Gomez.

COAL RAPIDLY RISING IN PRICE Everything Seems in the Men’s Favor and Ratch- ford Is Jubilant. DEBS TO JOIN THE FORCE OF ORGANIZIRS. Non-Unlon Workers Are Attacked at Danvllle, Ill., and a Fierce Battle Results. COLUMBUS, Oxuro, July 13.—President Ratchiord of the Miners’ Union is jubilant | to-night over the encouraging news of to- day. One telegram said that the miners of Sullivan County, Indiana, had joined the strike. Raichford says the news from the West Virgin:a coalfielas is most favor- able and he is most confident that the miners will eventually come out. The most important action of the miners’ officials to-day was the selec- tion of six lubor leaders to push the cam- paign in West Virginia. Eugene V. Debs will arrive to-morrow and Ratchfora is most likely to send bim to West Virginia also. CLEVELAND, Ouio, July 13.—Within a short time developments of a definite character are expected to take place in the West Virginis coal fields. A leading operaior received a long-distance tele- phone message at 10 o’clozk this morning stating that nine organizers had just left Piitsburg for the West Virginia coal fields. A person who occupies a high official position in the Mine-workers’ Union was at the Pittsburg end of the telephone. “You may look for something startling in that direction within the next forty- eight hours’” he said. “Reliable ad- vices which I hLave received this morn- ing convince me that the West Virginia | miners will come out. All they wait | for is a little urging from the union. I| am free to confess to you that while I expected many men would come out, 1 never hoped for such a complete and overwhelming victory as thic.” The foregoing message was repeated to | a reporter who was standing at hand by | the operator who received it. Wahoen the point is r:ached thatthe coal- mine operators refuse to ‘‘talk for publi- cation,” the situation is grave indeed. The operaiors now urge upon their inter- viewers that under no circimstances must their names be used in connection with information sapplied. A leading operator made a plain staternent—a startling state- ment, in fact—this morning, but insisted his name must not be used. “Is there not some paris of your state- ment which I may accredit to you?” asked the reporter. *No. You see, if I talked for publica- tior 1 would have to say to you just the opposite of whar 1 have said. You appre- ciate that there are many reasons why I | would not want my name to appear as admitting all these lacts.” Since Saturday the coal strike has as- sumed a very grave aspect, but a full real- ization of the change did not reach Cleve- | land operators and dealers unui to-day. Excepting a few operators who had some inside information they were disposed 1o speak lightly of the matter and ioudly de- clare that there was on band more than encugh coal 10 supply the country regard- less of the outcome of the strike. To-day all this seeming or pretended confidence has disappeared. Several operators went to Pitisburg yesterday to” attend the voluntary conference of the State arbitrators. One of these, whose knowledge of the premises is above que-tion, said to-day: “The situstion i- very grave, and anticipate some very startling develop- ments within the next forty-eight hours. I believe the West Virginia| miners will come out, and that will make the tie-up practically complete. Tne strikers w.ll then concentrate ther efforts on the De Armitt men. A small amount of coal is now coming from the mines atong the Pennsylvania mine line and from the coke rezions, but 1t is in com- paratively insignificant quantities. T think it will be shut off entirely soon. | From what I could learn yesterday at Pittsburg, I do not hesitate to say that in mv belief tne railroads will hesitate to haul West Virginia and De Armitt mines coal. Tone engineersand trainmen ure regarding the situation with lowering brows, P. M. Arthur’s statement to the contrary notwithstanding. “The supply of coal on hand is very short, and I ook for another sharp ad- vance in prices shortly. Saturday coal | which was loaded at Pittsbure for §1 25 to | $150, f. 0. b., is now held at §1 75. Deliy- ered to Cleveland the price is $2 65. Chi- cago is buying freely, and paying high prices. Ido not think the supply will hold out more than a week longer.” J. J. Phillips received a telegram from Flemington, W. Va., this afternoon as follows: “Miners all went out on strike here this morning.” 3 Fiemington is an important point in the West Virginia coalfields, and logal operators believe that the sirike will now spread in West Virginia. Eiegse WILL BE NO AEKBITRATION, Pittsburg Miners Think They Can Win Without It. PITTSBURG, YA., July 13.—There will be no arbitration of the miners’ strike. Operator P. de Armitt called on the State Arbitrators to-day and showed them that there were nodifferences between nim and his employes and therefere nothing; to arbitrate. i ! To-night the local miners’ officials called on the State arbitrators who nad been sent here from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. They admitted that De Armitt’s position was right. They professed tiemselves able to bring about an agreement with other operators to abolish abuses, They said that with that agreement in force not only 60 cent~ but $1 might be obtained by the diguers for coal. “They are not far apart,” said General Little, chairman of the arbitrators. “I believe they can settle the strike among themselves. If by our intervention we can bring them together we shall he satis- tied if they do not end in arbitration."” There is no change in the sirike tion. Everything is quist in this district, with ail the mines closed dewn and all Armiit. Coal which sold up to $1 80 per ton took a drop this morning to $150 per ton. The break was caused by the large amount of coal brought into the city by the railroads. The Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad released 500 cars which they had been ho.ding for themselves. The operators regard this as an indication that the railroads donot fear along suspension. R Ty I0RhA MINENKS UNEASY. Have Not Juined the Miners as Yet, But Liretu to Do So. DES MOINES, Iowa, July 13.—So far no Iowa miners have joined the big strike, but they are likely to do so at any time. There are 10,000 miners in the State, and until coal-dealers commence 1mpol ing into Iliinois to fill orders where Illi- nois miners are striking, little auention will be paid to the strike, as the Iowa | miners are not well organized. Their sympathies are with the Eastern miners, however, and at several meetings held in the principal coal centers the opinion was expressed that it is time to tuke action to help the Eastern miners by cutting off the coal shipped East. The miners in the central part of the State are more anxious to strike than those about Des Moines. All the Iowa miners have had their wazes cutfrom time to time, until they now rec.ive from 50 0 60 cents. - CONFLICT 1+ ILLINOILS, Non- Union Miners dssailed by Strikers at Danville. DANVILLE, 1L, July 13 —Strife be- tween the miners commenced in this dis- trict to-night. Four or five hundred Belgian strikers and other foreigners gathered at the Pawnee mine. ‘When a cage full of colored miners who had been at work reached the top of the shaft they were assaulted with krives ana staves. One colored miner named Reed secured a bar of iron and arevolver. In defending his life the shot he fired woundi- ed several strikers, This infuriated the striking miners. They retaliated by an exchange of shots, at the same time retreating to the woods. The strikers piled ties on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois track and also tried to oreuk a switch and wreck a train carrying working miners to this city. The miners inside the coach opened fire on them and about fifty shots were exchanged. Itis reported that one miner was killed. LD 10 PIECES. Fate of Colonel Charles Gordonm at the Hands of the Spaniards. HAVANA, Cusa, July 13 — Colonel Charles Gordon, a well-known American who served in the Cuban army and was in high tavor with General Gomez on ac- count of his intelligence and bravery, has been assassinated by the Spaniards in the same manner that Charles Govin was murdered last year in the province of Havana. Govin and Gordon landed to- gether in the same expedition early in 1826. . A few days ago Gordon accompanied a band of Cubans under Colonel Aulet to attack the town of Ciego Montero, near the city of Cienfuegos. As soon as the attack began, Spanish guerrillas of Carta- gena, 200 strong, commanded by Major Branlio Coteron, arrived and overpowered the insurgents. Gordon, surrounded by 100 Spaniards, surrendered, giving his name and nationality. When Branlio Coteron learned that the prisoner was an American he said to his men: “Kill him immediately. If we let him go to Havana, Lee will claim him.”” Gordon was hackea to pleces with machetes. s LONDONS LABOR LOCKOUT. AMERICAN Ha Ecery Indication of a Fierce and Pro- tracted Struggle. LONDON, Exa., July 13.—The strike of engineers i1s apparently to be a long and fierce struggle, to be settled only on the basis of the survival of the fittest. Both the masters and men have refused all of- fers of arbitration, including that of C. 1. Ritchie, president of the Board of Trade. The lockout began this morning. As a retaliatory measure the encineers are calling out the rest of the men, and oy to-morrow no fewer than 12,600 engineers will be idle. Already the yards of several of the large tirms have been picketed. The Lon- don firms that have joined the lockout now number forty. Among them are such important concerns as the Otis Ele- vator Company, the Westinghouse Brake Company, Fraser & Chalmers and the Brush Engineering Company. A —— Walcott’s Mission Failed.

Stanley Fount Guilty of Having One Wife Too Many. SAN JOSE, CaL, July 13.—The secona Stanley, charged with big- amy, ended to-night in a verdict of guilty. The jury recommended that the court ex- ercise ‘‘extreme’’ clemency. There was a disagreement at the first trial, which was held a few weeks ago. Stanley is a marine engineer, who has been employed on various tugboats at San Francisco. He was married in 1890 to Mrs. Cynthia Bates, a widow, and five years later he was united in marriage to ancther widew, Mrs. Mary E. Perkins. Both wives were witnesses at the trial. The first wife tried to save Stanley, but the second was extremely anxious that he should be punished. e Falls Dead at Seattle. SEATTLE, Wasu., July 13.—Dr. Henry C. Hinkle, a prominent physician of Oak- land, Cal., dropped dead of heart d sease in his apartments in the Russell House to-night. He was walking about the room talking to Mrs Hinkle and suadenly swooned, sinking to the floor. Physicians were immediately sum- moned, but before their arrival life was extinct. Coroner Vandell, who was called in later, said death resulted from heart failure. Dr. Hinkle, accompanied by his wite, came to Seattle about five weeks ago from Honolulu, whither he went in quest of health. e Drownrd Near Alviso.

Sensational Debate in the Senate on Buying More Armament. THREE UNCOMPLETED SHIPS LIE USELESS. Butler’s Amendment Reducing the Rate to $300 Per Ton Was Finally Passed. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 13.—The Senate spent six hours to-day in con- sideration of the armor plate paracraph in the general deficiency appropriation bill. The Senate Appropriation Com- mittee had reported an amendment authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to pay an average rate of $425 per ton for the armor piate required for three new battie- ships. Butler of North Carolina had offered an amendment to that, reducing the rate to $300 per ton and directing the Secretary of the Navy to make investigations and in- vite proposals for the establishment of Government armor works. These propositions gave rise to a long debate, in which the conduct of the Bethle- hem and Carnegie companies, the utility of the new navy, the Cuban war, the weak- ness of Spain and the magnitude of Eng- land in nayal armament, were touched upon. The debate endeda in the adoption of Butler’s amendment and the passage of the bill. There was some informal talk at the opening about the absence of a quorum and the impossibility of . disposing of the armor-plate question without an aye and no vote, between Chandler and Hale. Then Pettigrew said: “This amendment is an exceedingly important one. Last year we limited the price of armor-plate to $300 a ton, the evidence before the Naval Committee showing it could be fur- nished at $250. Two armor-plate factories being in collusion refuse to furnish piate at $300 and 1insist on having $425. Instead of the Appropriations Committee report- ing a bill to establish a Government fac- tory for furnishing armor-plate it now proposes to accede to the demand of this trust and surrender to this admitted com- bine. ¥or my part I shall insist that dis- cussion shall go on before the full Senate, and therefore I make the point of no quorum.” The Vice-President thereupon ordered the call of the Senate, and the call was an- swered by forty-five Senators, just a quo- rum, The debate then proceeded. Butler was the first speaker. He said he had made calculations showing the cost to manufacture armor to the Bethlehem and Carnegie companies to be $226 80 per ton. Three battle-ships, he said, would require 8000 tons of armor. If the price were fixed at $300, as his amendment proposed, the profit would be $570,600. Was that profit, he asked, not large enoush? He charged that through fraud, collusion and bribery the Carnegie Company bad passed off on the Government defective vlates which could be pierced like pine boards. Hale asked whether the Senator from Nerth Carolina believed that any of those defective plates had been received by the Government and placed on ships. Butler said he did believe it and that there was proof of it in the testimony be- fore the Naval Committee. Hale said his impression was that the investigation referred to had disclused certain irregularities, but that there was no proof that any of those delective plates were to-day on any United States vessel. Such a condition as the Senator from North Carolina had described was appall- ing, but there was no warrant of fact for the assumption. Butler spoke of the “juggling’ of armor plates by the Carnegie Company, and said the company which had been guilty of such conduct should not be allowed to have another contract for Gov- ernment work. He knew of no more dan- gerous treason. One of these vessels, the battie-ship Oregon, with spongy, imper- fect, fraudulent plates, had been ordered to the Hawaiian Islands. It wonid be fortunate :f the first hostile shot fired at ter did not hit one of those plates, if, in- deed, there were any good ones on her. “I,"he said, “we are to take tbhe Ha- waiian Islands; if we are to go into the Iand-grabbing business, we must have a fleet as good as any other country in the world. If we are launching on that policy, we must be able to compete with England or any other naval power.” Hale replied to the charges, praising the ravy. He said three great battle-ships, authorized by Congress, were ready for their armor, useless without it and stand- ing as a constant reproach, to be derided by the world because Congress would not make a trade to furnish armor for them. Foreign complications were crowding upon us; with an era of what was called American superiority, and by some jingo- ism, determinati ‘'to “assert our- selves and do things that misht involve us in confict with other great powers of the world, we stood with three battle-ships, unable to finish them. *‘Ido not went to see that,’” said Hale. “I'am willing to sacrifice $125 atonce. Iam willing to let $50 a ton ad- ditional go into the treasury oi rapacious, grasping, selfish companies for the time being. We have got our National honor and our National dignity to maintain. We have now these three battle-ships on our hands. I leave the matter to the Senate.” Tillman spoke against armor-plate com- papies as being “leprous with fraud in their dealings with the Government.”” Perkins said the question was whether the “United States should become the langhing stock of the world by leaving three splendid specimens of naval archi- tecture useless as a loz because Congress was too picayunish to pay a high price for armor to complete them. Allen agreed with Teller that the three battle-ships had betier remain on the stocks. He scarcely ever took up an American newspaper without finding that some American war vessel had run aground, or collided. He doubted if the United States had a battle-ship capable of roing into action against one of the best vessels of Europe. This closed the debate. The passage of the bill followed. A motion to adjourn over till Thursday was opposed by Mor- gan on the ground of the importance of speedv action in the matter of the Union Paciftic foreclosure. The motion to ad- journ was lost, and the Senate at 6 o’clock, after a short executive session, adjourned till to-morrow. THE EMPORIU . REZ2ER) PR T 22 THE EMPORIUM, July 14, 1897.
