Under Waiting ' Orders An Immense Meeting at Turtle Creek Mine . ' Pittsburg, Pa., August 6. The proposed campaign against the mine owners of "Westmoreland county and the operators of central: Pennsylvania, which has been delayed, is now an assured fact. The strike leaders decided on it definitely at a camp conference today, and a big move ment will probably be made next "Wednes day. The whole affair will be considera bly on the order of the famous Coxey "commonweal" tour. The plans propose a direct march through the whole terri tory where mines are being operated uhttt Clearfield county is reached. Camps will be left at each of the De Armit mines at Canonsburg, at'Bunola and any other place that may seem necessary to keep' the mines closed, which appears before the crusaders leave-t The leaders iesti mate that with what will remain behind in the camps at- least 8,000 men will be kept constantly in the movement. A military code for the government of the army will be formulated before the movement 'is started. President Dolan says that with any kind of a. system he will be able to 'keep everything quiet and the men peaceable. Efforts arer being made to introduce beer and whiskey at Camp Determination by outsiders. This has been going on for two or three days now. and some of the strikers have been taken down to East Pittsburg and filled up oh all the beer they could drink. The danger of this to the miners cause is fUlly realized by the labor leaders and a sharp lookout is being kept to find out who hs responsible for the effdrts to get the strikers intoxicated. Last night a bar rel of 'whiskey was shfpped to the camp from Braddock. It had been paid for at the other end and all freight charges had also been settled. "When the whiskeyj was delivered, Captain McKay ordered it, taken back to Braddock as quickly as' possible. It was shipped back.

The Most Successful in the History of the Organization as to Attendance and Good Kaclng Several Stat Records Broken. The World's Reeord for One Mile Missed by Only Two Fifths of a Second Sum mary of the Baces. Philadelphia, August 6. The opening races of the annual meet of the League of American Wheelmen was held today at WUlow Grove park,; fourteen miles from this city, -before 15,000 spectators. It was the most successful in the history of the organization, in attendance enthusiasm and good racing. Several state records were smashed, and Arthur Gardiner, the Chicago crack, came within two-fifths of a second of breaking Hamilton's world's record for one mile, paced He succeeded in lowering the fast mile made by "John ny" Johnson aUChicago last year by four- fifths of a second. Gardiner was paced by two quads, one loaded with Wenzel. .the Turville boys and Coburn, and the other with W. B.1 Becker, W. L. Becker, Crooks ; and Steenson. He crossed the -line like a flash, and the time was caught beautifully. He never ceased his pace until the finish, made in 1:39 3-5, breaking the state record of 1:45' 3-5 held by' Earl Kiser. ' ' ' ; .' ; ' Starbuck also took a trial record, paced by a quad and a triplet. For the .first half he made very fast time, but lost behind the triplet. His time was 1:44 3-5, also breaking Riser's record. Both these events followed the scheduled races for the day. In the latter the hon ors among the professionals were won by F. J. Laughead, of Sarnia, Ontario, who crossed the tape a winner, in three trials, two finals,' and second man in a third final. In one of these finals, the one mile professional, he broke the state com petition record of 2:04 4-5. by covering the distance in 2:03 3-5. He captured the one quarter mile championship in 32 seconds. ; .Among the amateurs, honors were more evenly divided, with the best racing done by Peabody, Johnson,, Middendorf, Schade, Krick and Miller. There were early morning runs to League island navy yard, at the lower end of Broad street, across rope ferry bridge to Paschalville, Pa., returning by way of Woodland avenue. West Philadelphia, to Broad street, where the columns merged into the army of wheelmen who had gone through Fairmont park and5; the "Wissa hickon drive, and the big scheduled run to the track began. When the head of the line reached Old York road, four miles .from headquarters, there were many who. had not mounted their wheels. At the track all was bustle among the racing men. "Johnny" Johnson, who was hurt on Wednesday, was unable to ride"; today, but will probably make an effort to start tomorrow. The other men were being rubbed down or were taking pre liminary spins On the track. ' . The trials began promptly at 9 o'clock, with several thousand spectators. At 12:40 there was a recess for Hunch. Meanwhile the seats were rapidly filling and long be fore the hour for resuming, it was evident that the crowd would be enormous. At 3 ocloek, the track was cleared and racing began' again; continuing until 6, o'clock without the slightest hitch. Dur ing the entire day there were but two or three spills and nobody was hurt by these-. Tonight Willow park was given over to the wheelmen and the visitors saw exhibi tions of tricks and fancy riding, a display of fire works and a general good time. Tomorrow promises to be the banner day and the seating capacity of the track will be taxed to the utmost. The races will begin at 9 o'clock. Following are the summaries of the final score: . One mile championship, professionals. Bald had the pole with Kiser, Loughead,' Mosher. Callahan, Taylor (colored), New ton and . Sanger, in the order named. Beaton and Weinig were the pace-makers. 'At the crack of the pistol the men got away well together.' At the end of the first lap Callahan and Taylor were be hind the pace-makers and going at a good clip. On the second lap Taylor took the lead with . Bald close behind. Then the race commenced in earnest. Kiser, Calla han, Bald and Sanger began to gather around the colored boy and- they came down the stretch riding free and fast. Loughead, the Ontario crack rider, cross ed the tape a wheel ahead of Bald, with Kiser a close third! Time, 2:03 3-5, break ing the state competition record of 2:04 4-5. " Final heat in the one mile 2:05 class, professional. - The1 starters were Mertens, McFarland, Nat Butler, Titus. Simms, Callahan and Oldfield. ' Mertens had the pole. There : was one false start. At the second attempt they were gotten off. Old- field, jumped ifrom the outside to the pole. directly fallowing the pace-maker at a. rapid pace. Titus fell out in the first lap. Oldfield held the lead into the stretch when Mertens and Butler came up. The three men raced abreast to the tape, Mer tens crossing the line a winner by about three feet. Butlerwas second and Simms third, with McFarland fourth. Time 2:11. The final in the one mile championship amateur was ' called. There were ' six starters. Ertz led the bunch on the first lap, -with Howard second.- On the last lap began a beautiful run in which all hands made a play for place. Stevens caught Ertz in the stretch . and shoulder-to- shoulder they came home, Ertz winning by an inch from Stevens. Middendorf taking third place. Time, 2:16 2-5. The final, one-quarter mile champion ship, professional, was the next event called. There were five starters, Gard iner. Cooper. Randall.-Bald and Loughead Cooner lumped off in the lead.

Washington .August 6 "The bullion value of the? American silver dollar, according to fyesterday's market, price of silver, is Just 43.6 cents," said Mr, Preston, . the director of the , mint, to- :day. "This makes the commercial ra-- tio betweeh Uyer and gold 36.6 to 1, instead of 16! to I. . In order to make our silver dollar equal to a gold dollar at this rate It would have to- contain 850 fine grains of silver. If the alloy were added the total would be 953 grains," i "How do ybu account for the recent decline in 'silver? Mr. Preston was asked. I ,- "Simply vthe. lack of demand for,1 it. I see no future, for silver whatever. Yesterday's iharket quotations made ft 56 cents an oiince. It is my honest opin ion that within (six months silver will fall to 4Q cents an oiinoe. There is no demand for iit 'anywhere. China is not buying any, Japan is out- of the busi ness and. there seema to be no demand for it IB any f country to any extent, .even f.or uses as subsidiary coinage.

The reasons given for the appeal are that .the business would be done at a loss, .nd that the commission has no powerj to prescribe telegraphic rates. August 16th the commission will give a hearing on this matter; j . The company alleges, that; at 25 cents it has: operated North Carolina busi ness at a loss. It files a prayer for re moval of the case to the United States court for the Eastern district of North Carolina.! The prayer alleges that the. commission's order violates the fifth amendment to the United States .con stitution . in that the enforcement of said rate would be taking; the com pany's property for public use without just compensation; that" it violates sec- the constitution; that it violates section HOME BY BUYING YOUR s 01 anicie 1 or tne constitution ana also violates the United States act of 1866 to aid in construction of tele graph! 'lines. The prayer further , sets forth, that the company is of New York, and not a citizen or residen't .of North Carolina. John VanHorne, yice-.presi-dent, signs this prayer. ' .
