There are the mines whose miners have not been orzanized for years and who defeated the uniformity agreement eighteen months ago, De Armitt claiming at that time they were in the Pittsburg district, while his com- petitors and the miners themselves claimed they were not included. There are mines whose owners are now being visited in Philadelphia by De Armitt and Commissioner John Little with a view to securing their signatures to the uni- formity agreement.

Many Men 1o Ergcge Grace S.ev:nson, in ths FKunt for the Missing Nill.onaire Heiress. BOSTON, Mass., July 17.—To-morrow morning searching parties will commence to scour the woods in Brighton, Newton and Brookline, especially in the vicinity of Chestnut Hill reservoir, for the body of Miss Grace Stevenson, the missing mil- lionaire heiress, from whom no word has | teen received and about whom no definite information has been learned since she left her home on April 26, to be absent for a short time. The beiief is gaining | ground among the oflicials and men who | have worked on the case that Albert Ste- venson, the brother of the missing girl, is correct in his surmise that Grace has met her death in some way. The probability that she has gone away and will appear whenever she desires to, or at the bebest of a certain Boston man, is not, of course, remote, but at the same time faith in the theory is weakening day by day. It is thought tha® Grace may have gone but | a snort distance from the house that night, when harm came to her in some unknown way, or possibly she may have wandered aimlessly about in Brookline or Brighton after she returned from Boston, tinaliy stopping in the woods. That is why the search wil be undertaken to. morrow. A score of policemen and detec. tives will direct the search while several hundred citizens will beat the brish. o RAede Starts for Santa Monica.

Efforts Will Be Made by the Owners to Reopen With Non-Union Delvers. Efforts Are Belng Made by Opezra‘ors to Settle the Controversy. WHEELING, W. VA, July 12. — The most sanguine expectations of the leaders of the great coal strike are well nigh ful- fil'led. The ranks of the non-union dig- gers in West Virginia have been broken. Four thousand miners along the Norfolk and Western Railway quit. to-night. The victory thus achieved by the union agitators will in all probability settle the | strike, The miners who quit work to- night dig probably a third of the coal mined in West Virginia, and the mines they closed are at Thatchers, Shamokin, Maritime, Logan and other small points along the Kanawha Valley. To-night, after the men had completed their day’s work, they held a number of well-attended meetings at various points. The meetings were addressed by strike emissaries sent out from Columbus and P.ttsburg. Their success is told in the large number that willingly voted to throw down tueir tools and aid the cause of the strikers. Afier each meeting a vote was taken and a large majority of the men as- sented to the strike proposition. The developments to-nizbt put a new phase on the situation in West Virginia. From being the battlefield of moral suas- ion the State may become the field of strife, for it isannounced on sem:-official authority that the operators will make an effort to reopen the mines with new men. In that case che West Virginia militia is entirely too weak to cope with the mass of miners that would besiege the various plants. Tc-morrow the strike agiiators will invade the Flat Top district. The New Rover district will be assailed as soon as possible, and it seems reasonable to state that by Tuesday hardly a mine in the entire southern part of the State will be working. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 17.—The news from West Virginia was 5o encouraging to the miners that the Iccal officials caused District Pre ident Dolan and Secretary Warner to call the Pittsburg district executive board together to-night. It was decided to renew the war in De Armitt’s county. A frech batch of organizers will be sent ihere in the effort to induce his men to strike. A feature is the miners’ deter- mination to send arganizersinto the West- erators to discuss the uniformity agree- ment. The commiszioners prefer to get signa- tures without a meeting, as a meeting | would be apt tooven old sore. President Dotan received a leiter from the American Federation proffering sympathy and de- I siring to know if a boycott will be of any assistance. CLEVELAND, Osro, July 17.—The in- structions of Senator Hanna to his office here to see the Pittsburg operators hav- ing offices in Cieveland and ask them to use their influence to secure an amicable adjustment of the strike have been carried out to the letter, and Manager Young re- ports that every one of the nine Pittsburg operators represented here and every Obio operator wi!l agree to the true uni- formity scale as suggested by the Senator. | Every operator, however, in consenting to the agreement announced that they suspected De Armitt and woud not be satisfied with the outcome of the proposi- | tien until the contract bad been signed | and sealed. Itis not thought here that | the same rule should govern the New York ana Cleveland Gas Coal Company as in other mines. However, all the operators here are pleased to second Hanna’s efforts. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 17.—Gen- | eral John Little of Onio, president of the board of arbitration of five Staies, and W. P. De Arnitt, president of the New York ana Cleveland Company, arrived in this city this morning for the purpose of se- curing if possible the signatures of the coal operators here to the *‘true uniform- ity agreement” in coal mining methods. ‘Whether their mission was successful or not, coald not be ascertained, as ail trace oi them after they breakfasted was lost. At the hotel they spoke of taking the 1 o’clock train to New York. It is the im- pression here that General Little and Mr. De Armitt simply stopped in the city long enough to conclude arrangements for a conference in New York between leading conl operators. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 17.-~A special to the Post-Dispatch from Glen Carbon, Iil., at2 p. M., says: The miners have quit and have joined the marching strikers from Staunton and Mount Olive, who arrived here yesterday, and the combined forces are making preparations to march to Collinsville, Caseyville, Troy, O'Failon, Belleville and other places in ths Belle- ville district. ~ BRADBURYS A4E RECONCILED. Husband and W.fe Will Go East Together, Wiide M s. Banning Wil Raturn to Caijorna, CHICAGO, ILv., Juiy 17.—Peace like a white-winged dove hovers over John Bradbury and his wife. A reconciliation took place at the Wellington to-day, and to-morrow night the couple will start East together, while Bradbury's mother-in-law will return to Los Angeles. All break- fasted together in the mother’s room. They sat down to talk over the events of the past sad days. The mother-in-law went away and husband and wife were left a’one. What the interview was the public can only surmise. At noon the threec apreared on the parlor floor. The husband looked pleased and the wife acted like a ckild in sulke. They took a closed carriaze and drove to the Santa Fe ticket cftice, Here Mrs. Banning pur- chased bher ticket.

A man had risen among them | and shot another man. There was great confusion for a few moments, and then some of the congregation had presence of mind enough to seize the murcerer while others hastened to the aid of the man who had fallen to the ground. They soon realized, however, that their aid was useless, as the man who bad been shot died afew moments after Le fell. The | murderer’s name is Sylvester Hampton, and the name of the man who was killed is Istam J. Price. ‘What was the caunse of the killing is not known, It is believed, however, that the two men were jealous cf one another. They were both young men and quite fond of the society of girls. The mur- derer was only 22 vears old, and the man who was killed was barely 23. Seiogs e Epedemic of Spinal Meningitis. S8T.

Will Continue to Claim Thes- saly as Long as There Is a Chance of Success. French Statesmen Deb=:te the East- ern Quesilon and Uphold the Government’s Course. [Copyrighted, 1897, by the New York Sun,] LONDON, Exg., July 17.—There is no reliable information availatle regarding the course of the Sultan. Reports from Con- stantinople continue to ba sanguine one day, and despairing the next. Itis safe to say that nobody will know the situa- tion und crisis in advance of the event it- self. Least of all can the declarations of the Sultan nimself, be they defiant or con- ciliating, be taken as any indication of his real purpose. Itis certain, of course, that he will insist on his claim of Thessaly as long as there is any possibility of suc- cess, short of actual resort to force against Europe. His most earnest protestations no longer command any respect or cre- dence from Embassadors or the publicr Even an unconditional promise to evacu- ate would carry no weight, and Europe now refuses to belleve anything short of the fact ftself. A few believe he has not vet exhausted his powers of procrastina- tion. PARIS, Fraxce, July 17.—The Chamber of Deputies held two sittings to-day, both beine occupied by discussions of the East- ern question. Bovce and Cochin criticized the action of the Government. Hanotaux replied that the European concert had maintained a territorial status quo and triumphed in the defense of the ideas of justice and humanity. Tboe ques- tion of indemnity once settled, Tarkey would withdraw from Thessaly and accent the frontier proposed by the Embaszadors. Premier Meline, replying to a remark by Goblet, said the policy of the concert had been safety. Without that policy there would have been a general conflagration. Peace once signed, the powers would guar- antee Cretan autonomy and measures of administrative reform. The Goverament’s declarations were ap- proved by a vote of 334 to 114, FATBER BUILEN DIES AT ROME, On the Eve of Consecration as Bishop of a Kansas Dioces ROME, IraLy, July 17.—The Rev.
