When the deputies arrived they at- tempted to stop the marchers, but the strikers paid no attention to the orders, | and when they had finished their work murched back to the camp. There is much suffering at Camp 1sola- tion on account of the lack of clothing and shoes. Many of the men are bare- footed, having worn their shoes out marching and doing missionary work. Superintendent de Armitt visited a number of the striking miners at their houses early this morning, but failed to induce any of them to return to work. Hereafter the deputiss will not inter- fere with the strikers if they march after 6 o’clock in the morning and keep off the proverty of the coal company, but all marchers will be stopped before that hour. About thirty women made ademonstra- | tion at Newton this morning before day- light, They carried miniature flags, which they waved enthusiastically as they marched up and down the road. Every now and then the women cheered, and they walked quickly to keep warm. The deputies keep away from the women, and the paraders, after marching up and down for an hour, got tired and went home, near the marching women. The few who went to work took a roundabout route to the pit. By the end of next week all the coal on the Monongahela River will be pract.cally in the hands of one firm and the prices will be made by the lucky possessors of the valuable mineral. There has been a increase in the price of coal all the s wel When the present strike began the firm of yobn H. Jones & Co. saw that prices must advance, and they quietly went to work and bought coal wherever they could at prices which now seem very cheap. They have been keeping this coal, and | now practically control the coal trade in | this vicinity. When seen to-day Mr. Jones refused to say just how much coal they had, but ad- mitted that the amount was over 500,000 bushels. Inquiries among other coal firms loped tne fact thau there was very little coal outside of that held by Jones & Co., and that firn would be able to get their own price. The small coal operators in the Pitts- burg district, who are in the majority, are in revolt against the ‘'big thirteen,”’ or lake shippers, and threaten to put their mines in operation at the rate demanded by the miners—69 cents—next week if the miners’ officials will allow tneir men to return to work. Instead of seiling their product to the ‘‘big thirteen,” as hereto- fore, they will forward to the different markets themselves. Miners’ President Dolan said that if the small operators could show how they were going to sell their coal outside of the syndicate he would readily give his con- ent to their plans to resume work.

Is Accompanied by a Band of Cutthroats, and Trouble Is Looked For. Belleved to Be Planning to Attack Prospectors Bound for the Goldflelds. FRESNO, Car, Aug. 28.—Cliff Regan, the outlaw, has bern scen recently in the mountains of this county and is causing considerable anxiety among the residents there and the owners of the stage lines. It is thought that the reportsof the gold discoveries on Pine Ridge have brouzht him across the San Joaquin from Madera County, and it is not at all unlikely that he may be heard from in a decided way in the near future. A few days ago this remarkable young criminal appeared at Burris’ saloon, about five miles above Academy, and purchased some liquor. He had a drink of whisky, took with him. Regan was alone at the He spoke a few words pleasantly to the proprietor of the place, and departed as quietly as he had come. The outlaw did not think that the saloonman knew who he was. Regan did not say very much. He came in from the hills to the west and returned 1n the same direction. The other place at which the fugitive from justice appeared was Widow Waite's farm on Pine Ridge, about four miles above Toll House. He stopped here one morning ana obtained breaklast. He was alone, and had little to say. He seemed to think that no one recognized him, and was very careful not to reveal hisidentity. The people at the house were much frightened while Regan was there, and their fears were not ailayed entirely after he had gone, for the fact that the notorious outlaw was in the country was sufficient to cause them much worry. These visits of Regan haye become gen- erally known through the foothills and mountains, and everybody is on the look- out. Probably the most alarmed are Jo- seph House and A. W. Petrea, who run rival stage lines from this city to the ridge on the road which passes botn the Burris and Waite places. They have stopped carrying money on their staces because of the presence of the outlaw,and they would not be much surprised to bave a hold-up any day. The stages carried considerable money for employes at the mills, who sent their checks for wages down to Fresno to nave them cashed and and, besides, purchased a flask which he | time, coming to the place on horseback. ; days. fringe, couches that should be $12.00, for...

The outlaw probably presumes that the peole | who are going up to the new mining field have money with them, and that the | heavy travel will give him the opportu- | nity to make a haul. He may also be ex- | pecting miners down with their cleanups. | In fact it would not be at all unlike this | daring outlaw to make a swoop with his | gang down upon some mining camp. Clift Regan has been classed as an out- law for a number of years past. He was raised in Auberry Valley, in tais county, and knows eyery trall and nook in the | mountains of Madera, Fresno and Tulare counties. To catch him is a very difficult proposition. The people are ali afraid of him and they dare do nothing that might displease him. Once Regan participated in the robbery of a Chinese store in Madera County with two other men, named Green and Lirsen. The outlaw was caught some time after- ward by a half-breed named John Murphy, whom the officers had employed to take | up the chase. Murphv and Regan had a pitched bat- tle, and the outlaw surrendered after his zun had been shot to pieces. By turning State’sevidence Regan succeeded in get- ting off with a lizht sentence for the rcb- bery. Afier he had served it he returnea to the Madera Mountains, where he has been stealing horses ant caitle off and on | with impunity ever since. About a year ago he ran off a herd of horses from Ma- | dera County and crossed the summit to Mono County, where he so'd them. DISASTER BARELY AVERTED. | Almost a Collision Between the Steam- | ship Walla Walla and the Liner | Columbia. VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 28 —The story of the wealth of the Klondike has reached the Orient, for on the new steamer Colum- bia of the Northern Pacific line, which arrived this mornirg, were four miners from Yokohama, who will oatfit here for the gold tields. A marine calamity, according to the officers of the Columbia, was narrowly averted yesterday evening about 10 o’clock when a collision with the Walla Walla, bound out for San Francisco, was barely avoided. The Walla Walla, the officers sav, broke all the rules of navigation, and after changing her lLights several times, ran right across the ocean liner’s bow. Had the twn ships collided, an awful calamity must have resulted, for the ‘Walla Walla was crowded with pasaengers. Llame o o NEWSPAPER PLANT BURNED.

UKIAH, CAr, Aug. 28.—This wasa gala day with the First Regiment. The rail- way company had run a special train from San Francisco, arriving in time to witness the field day exercises, sham batfle and dress parade. In the competitive athletic exercises the score wa« 38 to I8 in favor of the Ukiah school. Major Boxton, in command of com- panies M, E, A and I, with Company F, heavy artillery, under’ Lieutenant Nip- pert, successfully held MacDonald Heights against an attack by Muajor Simes’ bat- talion, consisting of companies B, H, L, D, C, Gand K. Major Simes’ battalion advanced on the enemy until within 200 yards of the sum- mit, when the heavy artitlery of Nippert's men, stationed on the left o1 the first vat- talion, drove it back. Major Simes or- dered a flank movement on the enemy’s right. This was promptly carried out, but owing to the advantageous position of the First Battaliou the attacking party was repulsed with heavy loss. After another unsuccessful charge on the heights the battle was ended. ‘The Barrett trophy, for which the con- test has been waged the past three days, has been awarded to Company K, Captain Cunningham commanding. e — Addresnes to the Felerans.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 28.—That the city of San Jose should be extended is evidenced by the census just taken. In- stead of having a population of 32,000 the report shows there aily 20,475 inhabi- tants in the city. is an increase of 2415 over the fizures of 1890, but it should be borne in mind that these fizures show only the population of territory situated between the Coyote and Guadalupe creeks. 1i what Lelongs by riznt to San Jose were included in the census the total would ex- ceed 30,000. Beyond each of the two bridges is -a pertect continuation of resi- dences and business blocks, while to the north and south the residence extension makes it 1mpossible for a stranger to teil where the counly begins. For severa! years the Board of Trade has advocated an extension of the city limits, but those living just over the line are loth to come in. B Be t-Culture in Sonoma County.
