b H E SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1897. SIGHS OF COLLAPSE OF THE STRIE West Virginia Miners Are Returning to Work. Still the Unlon Leaders Say the Fight Has Only Just Begun. Debs Discouraged Over His Fallure, Whlle Operators Are More Confident Than Ever. WHEELING, W. Va,, July 21.—To all appearances the strike of West Virginia coal-miners 1s broken. Fiity more men returned to work at the Monongahela mines to-day, and nine other piants in the district are working full time. Inthe southern part of the State the Norfolk Western operators have asked for more cars, and they are hiring all the diggers applying. In spite of the seemingly indisputable fact that the strike has collapsed union miners say that it is only the beginning of the siruggle in West Virginia. In the Panhandle district and places in the Fair- mont field the few men who are out are becoming restless and ugly. To-morrow 100 strikers from Mounds- ville will march to the Boggs Run mine, near this city, with a number of agitators. | The Boggs Run mines vere the scene of aisorder in 1894, The stories circulated about troops baving been asked for are groundless. A new union was organized this after- noon among the miners of the Palatine and Aurora companies. The most con- servative estimates place the number of diggers now out at less than 2000. In Po- cahontas district, where Sovereign was suppressed a day or so ago, the men re- sent the efforts of the agitators. Speaking of the Sovereign incident, Debs said to- “We are no better than the slaves of 8. Sovereign’s fate will strengthen the Social Democracy.” The threat of the agitators that the fight has just begun does not appear alarming to the operators, wno declare that the whole State 1s open. ALTOONA, Pa., July 21.—The situa- tion at Gallitzin is becoming more serious daily. The Mitchell Coal and Coke Com- pany asked for an injunction from the Cambria County Court to-day to restrain | the striking miners from overt acts and to allow the company to run its own aifairs. | The petition asks that the striking miners | be restrained from any act of vioience | toward the company or any of its em- ployes. Judge Bell'of Blair County pre- sided. The injunction was granted, and the attorneys for the com c for its continuance on Saturday tion to the injunction the Miichell Com- | pany desires payment of pensate for its out property and employes. money to com- in defending its In case the miners and strikers should vioiate the injunction they will be arrest- ed for contempt. The Sheriff servea the i n on the strikers to-nizht, COLUMBUS, Owumo, June 21.—When the Nationil executive board of nine- workers convened to-day a feelinz o1 de- | pression was noticeable. It was found that Debs was on the point of abandoning West Virginia because of lack of co-opera- tion on tue the m'nzry’ officia s surance was given that President Rar ford ana 1 go to West Virginia anc muke an effort to get out the e officials admit- ted that Debs tit when he said: “Tv is preposterous to win the strike without West Virginia. The State pro- duces enouch coal to provide for the whole of America. The executive board adjourned afrer a decision to make a last effort to capture West Virginia before themselves dejeated. President Ratch- ford left to-night for Fairmont. President Farms of the Ohio miners and President Knignt of the Indinna miners also left to- nignt for Cooper, W. Va. CLEVELAND, Onio, July 2L — The Cleveland Roiling Mill Company, the third largest in the United States, has closed down entirely for want of fue Four thousand men are thrown out of em- ployment, NEW ARBITRATION TREATY. D plomatic_Discussion Believed to Be the Forerunner of a Remodeled and Briefer Ajreement. LONDON, ExG., July 21.—The corre- spondent of the Associated Press learns that while the statements in the English press to the effect that Sir Julian Paunce- fote brought from the United States a draft of a new arbitration treaty are un- true, it is a fact that Sir Julian discussed the question with Secretary Sherman, and since his arrival here has discussed it with Lord Salisbury. There is the best reason for believing that the matter will be reopened at Wash- ington in October, and that a short treaty of less scope than the last will be arranged for submission to the respective Govern- ments, It is thought the matter would not have been revived unless the feeling of leading United States Senators bad been pre- viously ascertained been assured that President McKinley is in favor of such an arranfement. It i8 now semi-officially reported that an_international conference will be held at Washington early in October on the basis of John W. Foster’s suggestion on behalf of the United States Government that the experts representing Great Brit- ain and the United States should meet and compare results of their investiga- tions with a view to arriving to an agreed state of facts. Pending such an agreement there is no question ef extending the scope of the conference to include a revision of the present regulations. The primary object will be not legal, but scientific. ¥ e ges e TAUNTS FROM EKGLISHMEN. Sherman's Bering Sea Note Facetiously Criticized by Carrespondents of a London Paper. LONDON, Exa., July 2..—The Morning Post continues to keep its columns open for correspondence on the subject of the alleged desire cf Americans to provoke a quarrel with England, One correspondent says to-day: “Much continues to be said and written about the friendliness of the ‘best Americans,” but be they few or be they many, we only seem to hear of the few whose highest in- terests and aims are to secure matrimon alliances with the English aristocracy be- cause it is the finest in the world. Why, in times like these, are the representa- tives of the Knickerbockera in New York, the Cavaliers in Virginia and the Pun- tans in New England dumb?”’ Another correspondent thinks it is high time Lord Salisbury’s reply to Seci Sherman was published and says: devoutly to be hoped that negotiations will not be resumed until the Paris award has been paid.” And conciuaes: “The sountry iy momentarily expecting the | by a hurricane, acknowledging | - | before and Lord Salisbury | news that a powerul British fleet bas | arrived in Canadian waters."” Another correspondent suggests a cam- paign in behalf of love and peace through- out the United States. The writer says: “Let this be supervised by a small com- mittee, say Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Curzon, as both of them are married to Americans; or if their positions in the Government preclude it, let the commit. | tee be composed of a number of ladies and | zentlemen, and let the American wives of Mr. Chamberiain and Mr. Cuizon join the committee in performing this ministry of love in behalf of their husbands.”” B s e | THE INSURRECTION IN INDIA. Molich of Powindah Collects an Army of Sx Thousand Tribssmen to F.ght the British. LONDON, Exa.,July 2L—A dispatch from Simla says a telegram has been re- ceived there from Sheranni, in the Loch Valley, reporting that the punitive expedi- tion sent out to punish the Waziris for their treacherous attack upon the British officers who went to Sheranni last month to fix the site of a new outpost and to re- cover a fine imposed on local tribssmen for misconduct, has occupied Sneranni and Maizar without opposition. Both | towns had been abandoned by the Waziris, | The telegram also says that theentire | garrisun at Dattakhel turned out at 3:30 A. M. yesterday, expecting an attack by the notorious Mollah ot Powindah, who is at the bottom of the trouble. Tne British scouts reported that he had collected 6000 tribesmen about twelve miles away and was preparing to attack the British gar- rison. The attack was not made, but the atti- tude of the Mollah shows that he in- | tended to fight. R S GERMAN CARRIER PIGEONS. Their Liberation et Dover and Flight? o I Dusseldort Excite English Press and Parirament. LONDON, Exa., July 21.—There is in- tense ill-feeling over the action of the erman War Office in sending 2000 carrier | pigeons to Dover with the object of test- ing their capabilities of reaching Dussel- dorf, Rhenish Prussia, about twenty miles north of Cologne, on theright bank of the | Rhine. The German official at Dover | who liberated the birds heard of their ar- | rival six hours afterward. | _The incident led to a question in the | House of Commons last_evening. The Hon. St. John Broderick, Under Secretary { of War, replying, said the matter was un- der consideration, acding that Germany would scarcely tolerate a similar trial of | British pigeons. The comments of the press on the sub- ject are heated, one paper suggesting that | the next pigeons sent from Germany should be thrown into the sea, and the German official accompanying them | thrown in after them. One hundred of | the liberatad birds belong to the Kaiser. | PIGEON FROM THE WORTH POLE. Brings n Message Which Is Supposed to Havs Eeen Sent by Balloonist Andree. CHRISTIANI1A, Norway, July 2L—A telegram from St. Avangar says thata carrier pigeon has been caught near Soevde with a silver ring on one of its legs | and the following stamped on one of its | wings: | orth Pole, 1421; 47 The newspapers assume that the pigeon is one of those taken by Andree on his bal- loon expedition in rch of the pole. | HOW IT WORKE THE MOORS. Wonderful Lffect of the Presence of War- xhips at Zangicr. LONDON, Exg, July 21.—A correspond- ent of the Associated Press at Tangier writes: “The demonstration of the United States warships San Francisco and Raleigh bad a wonderful effect. The continual | ignoring of the rights and claims of { Americans had embitterea the relations | between them and the natives for some | time and finally culminated in the desper- | ate assault made by the Moors on the | servant ot Mr. Burke, who was carrying | money to the bank. Mr. Burke demand- | ed reparation, but the Moorish Foreign | Minister refused to act, and the attitude of the Moorish officials was so overbear- ing that Mr. Burke feli compelled to |appeal to Washington, as has already | been cabled, for help to enforce his | demands. | “The San Francisco by her prompt ar- rival so stirred up the Moorish officials | that the Foreign Minister immediately | visited Admiral Selfridee, an honor never conferred upon any one. The | foreigners here are still commenting upon | this unprecedented occurrence.” e BASED UPON AKBITRATION, Stipulations of the New Treaty Betwesen Apain and Peru. | NEW YORK, N. Y., July 2L—A dis. patch to the Herald from Lima, Peru, tays: The new treaty between Peru and Spain, which has just been completed, is based upon the theory of arbitration. The treaty states that practically ail questions be submitted to a commission for peace- ful settlement. All extraordinary cases and questions of national honor under the provisions of | the treaty are to be laid before a disinter- ested country for settlement, and the de- cision of that country will be final. The treaty aleo stipulates that the | claims of Spain and of Spanish residents against Peru, growingout of the revolu- tion, shall be piaced on the same footing as those made by the natives of Peru. TR USED A ¥FATAL HAIR WASH. Petrolevm Fumes Ignits and Cause a Roman’s Death, | LONDON, Exe., July 21.—Mrs. Frances | Bamuelson of Breckenbrough Hall, Yorkshire, died at the home of her father- in-law, the Right Hon. Sir Bernhard Samuelson, Baronet, Princess Gate, Lon- don, from injuries received while her hair was being dressed with a petroleum i bair wash, which ignited. The bair wash, | which gives off strong fumes, ignited, ana Mrs. Samuelson was frightiuliy burned, i lingering three weeks in larn“;le agony betore she died. The hair wash is the newest French im- portation, and is much in vogue in Lon- don. The hair can be wasbed and dried in a quarter of an hour. Mexican Steamship Line. CITY OF MEXICO, Mex., July 21 The Mexican Financial Syndicate, London company, has been granted a con- cesslon by the Mexican Government for the establishment of a steamship line be- tween Guaymas and Salina Cruz and in- termediate points on the Pacific. The Government gives a liberal subsidy. Tne service must be in operation by Aug- ust 2L . Nine Seamen Drowned in a Collision. SOUTHAMPTON, Enxa., July 2L.—Nine members of the crew of the Belgian steamer Concha were drowned In conse- quence of a collision Monday off the Isle of Wight with the British steamer 8t. Fil- lans. The Concha, which was from Med- iterranean ports and was bound up the channel, was sunk, while the St. Fillan’s | bows were badly damaged. The last named craft, which was bound from Rot- terdam for New York, brought seven of the Concha’s crew to this port. A i Disastrous Hurricane in France, PARIS, Fraxce, July 21.—A dispatch from Bourges, capital of the Department of Cher, says that the northwestern por- tion of the department has been destroyed 1 FIERCE WARFARE GOES ON IN CUBA Dynamite Is Used With Deadly Effect by Insurgents. Spanish Cclumn Routed and General Molina Barely Escapes. Publlcatlon of Woodford’s Instruc- tions Causes Bitter Feellng at Madrid. HAVANA, Cusa, July 21.—The Attor- ney-General in the case of the Competi- tor's crew has been punished with two months' imprisonment by orders from Madrid. A dispatch from Madrid says Senor Prendergast, the well-known Liberal ex- Minister, in a speech at Zaragoza declared that the Liperals would accept in all re- spects the programme of the Cuban autonomist party. The same aispatch says that news of the publication in the United States ot Wood- ford's instructions with regard to the case of Dr. Ruiz has created an unfavorable impression in Madrid, bitter attacks being made by the Liberals upon the Govern- ment for its mild policy with regard to America. War is being actively carried on in Pinar del Rio province. A hard engage- ment occurred on Monday near San Diego between Spaniards commanded by Cap- tain Puig and the insurgent bands of Payaso and Ramaguerra. The Spanish official report to-day says that Ramaguerra was killed, but there is positive evidence that he was not even wounded. FEach side lost about fifty men. Near Colon, Matanzas province, at a place called Sierra Morena, dynamite has been again used by the insurgents with deadly eifect on the column of General Molina. The Spaniards had two captains anda fitty soldiers killed. The soldiers fled to Colon. General Molina himseif nar- rowly escaped. A train from Cardenasto Jucaro was. blown up yesterday by the insurgents and about thirty Spanish soldiers were killed. The Spanish gunboat Dependiente was attacked hy Cubans near Baracora and had to retreat to the ocean after four of its sailors had been killed and nine wounded. At Perico Lopez, Santa Clara province, a Cuban hospital was raided by a Spanish guerriila force and the nurses and wounded slain. Weyler arrived this afternoon. He traveled from Cienfuegos by train to Las Cruces and Sagua la Grande. From the latter place he proceeded to the coast, where he took a steamer for this city. MADRID, Srarx, July 21.—The Guvern- ment is negotiating for the consiruction of four large warships. Premier Canovas denies that an alliance has been effected ! between Spain and Japan, saving that the only bonds betwe:n the two countries are their cordial relations. He says the ne- cessity is now more urgent than ever for the Government to consider w Lt reforms shall be effected in Cuba. ROCKY ROAD FOR POWDERLY, Labor Forces Cumbine, and Will Mak: a Determ ned F gkt Against H's Co: fi. mat on. NEW YORK, N.Y., July 2L—A spe- cial to the Herald from Wastington says: Terence V. Powderly will have a rocky road to travel before he is confirmed by the Senate as Commissioner-General of Immigration, to which office he was re- cently appointed by President McKinley. The Knights of Labor and Federation of Lavor have given notice that they | will file a protest against confirmation, and will do all in their power to defeat him. Their objections to Mr. lowderly are numerous and definite. It is charged that he was never a Republican until he went into the campaign last fall, but that when he ran for Mayor of Scranton, Pa., he was identified largely with the Demo- crats, It is also charged that he was an ardent advocate of the free coinage of silver as long as he was identified with their or- ganizations, but became an apostate to the silver cause last fall. His troubles with the Knights of Labor, which led to his being expelled from the organization, will also be presented. loquiry among Senators indicates if Mr. Powderly’s nomination was to be brought to a vote he would be defeated. In deference to the President, however, it 1s expected that the question will not be brought to a vote at this session, but will be held over until next Decemper. Some of the Republicans confirmation would cost the Republican party 10,000 votes in Ohio next fall. The feeling of hostility grows largely from the fact that while the laboring men were for Bryan Mr. Powderly went into the Repub- lican service, receiving therefor, it is charged, $15,000. s BIG INCREASE IN TRADE, 8t, Louss Merchants Show Big Sales and Atill Better Prospects. 8T. LOUIS, Mo., July 21.—The whole- sale merchants anticipate a record-break- ing fall business. Although the buying season has just set in the indications are that there will be a hundred per cent in crease over the business of 1896. The years of 1891 and 1895 were the banner years to the St. Louis wholesale trade. Last vear was low ebb. As an indi- cation of what is to come when the coun- try buyers pour into town, the merchants point to their books to show ihat sa es since May 1 have been in excess of 1895. Reports from men who have been on the road foreshadow an enormous increase of buyinz among country -merchants, once the crops are in. The favorable conditions which local wholesalers contemnplate are: First, the utter exhaustion of stock by out-of-town merchants, who were unwilling to buy during the depression incident to the campaign; second, the enormous in- crease in the amount of money owing to favorable crops and the increased value of farm products; third, the advantage to country merchants of buying against an advancing market. With these influences co-operating St. Louis merchants look for an unpreces aeuted trade in the West and Southwest. posis S0ty Pacific Coast Pensions. WASHINGTON, D.

PETALUMA, CaArn, July 2L — Camp Riordan presented a most animated ap- pearance this afternoon during the field- day cxercises. The lovely weather encour- aged the ladies to don gauzy frocks, and the grand stand at the fair grounds, in front of which the athletic sports took place, presented a pretty sight of moving rainbow tints. Besides the townspeople presant as spectators the excursions from San Francisco and Santa Rosa brought many visitors, who at once flocked to the camp, many of them laden with hampers suggestive of goodies for some lucky sol- dier boy. This morning instead of the usual com- pany drill there was a rezimental drill, after which the cadets busied themselves in practicing for the afternoon’s entertain- ment, greeting their friends and showing the camp to the visitors. The field-day exercises commenced at 2:30 o’clock, with the-following officers presiding: Athletic committee — Lieutenant Hooper, Lieutenant Duffy and Lieuteuant Wyms. Judges — Lieutenant-Coionel Ryan, Major McGloin, Major Deasy and Captain Drady. Starter—Lieutenant Hooper. Field Judges—Lieutenant Wyms and Lieu- lenant Duffy. Scorer—Lieutenant Johnson. Clerk of the course—Lieutenant Kelly. The first of the afternoon’s events was the fifty-six-yard dash. 1t was won by Wilson of the band, Shaffer of Company second, and Crawford of Company B third. Time, 6 seconds, The shotput was won by Crawford of Company B, 32 feet 814 inches. Beasley of Company H, second; McCarthy of Com- pany N third. Tke 100-yard dash was won by Pabst of the band. The broad jump was won by Keyes of Company F, distance 15 feet. The 230-yard dash was won by Pabst, and he also wén the baseball throw, witn Carroll of Company D second. The tug-of-war between the non-com- missioned officers and the privates was won by the latter, amid great applause. In the two-mile bicycle race Gonzales was first, Keyes second, Beasley third. Time, 7:28, This evening the spectators were enter- tained with a varied programme and a band concert in the pavilion. Great prepara- tions are being made for the entertain- ment to be given to-mofrow evening by the Ladies’ Catholic Aid Society. An im- mense crowd is expected. TRAGEDY AT AUBURN.

Fatally injured : George Barderof. Edward Barderof. The explosion occurred in the loading- room. Employed in this room were 150 hands, two-thirds of them women and girls. Nearly all of the female hands are em- ployed on the loading machines. i The full complement of hands was at | work in the room when the explosion took place. Forty feet of the side of the | building was blown out and fragments of | human bodies were scatiered in every di- rection. All available physicians, the fire depart- ment, the police, the ambulance and hos- pital corps wers speedily summoned. Harrowing scenes were enacted as the vast throng congregated about the piace. The ! victims who were alive were made as com- possibie speed to their homes, Two of the bodies had been decapitated. Others had been partially torn asunder, | and still others had been dismembered. | Ihe Winchester Company aided in every way to perfect relief. John Baumeister was but recently mar- ried. At the time of the explosion he was at work but a few feet from his wife, who was killed. . The cause of the explosion has not been determined. It may have been duetoa cartridge improperly placed in the load- ing-machine. Edward Barderof died after being taken to the hospital. lda Brown, one of those killed, came from Detroit, Michigan. panv, said: ! *“We have been running automatic load- | ing machines for more than twenty years, and thisis the first time that any one has been injured in their use. Since the adop- tion of these machines we have had no accident 1n the use of biack zunnowder.” Mr. Bennett expressed tne be that, through the carelessness of the operator or powder boy, th: machine that ex- ploded had been overcharged.
