GOVERNOR: HASTINGS SO NOTIFIED. Monater Mas Meeting of Miners Indicate That They Are Still Determined to Win tho Tight. Acial from Pittsburg, Pa., says: Wl( ,t the immediate cnlmination of the strike situation may be in this district, it is evident Sheriff Lowrey considers the time a critical one. Monday night he telegraphed Goy ernor Hastings fully concerning the condition existing here with the evi dent purpose of having the governor prepared for any emergency that may arise in the near future. It is learned that the governor has been so impressed with the gravity of the case that he has instructed the adjutant general to remain in his office all nfaht, awaiting any requisition that m, iy be made on him for troops. The nly surface indication for this precaution is the fact that during the nighy an immense procession of 'risers and citizens, headed by Bur pess Teat, of Turtle Creek, marched through the streets of the borough and back again to Camp Determina tion, where a meeting was held and the burgess assured the men that. they liad his sympathy as well as that of all . the citizens thereabouts 's'if It may be the sheriff, in view of the fact that the big assembly at McCrea's school house Monday .'. was in, violation of the proclamation, has reason to be lieve that the miners are beyond his control, and has warned the governor of impending tronble. - ; "'. Beyond the meeting and marching atl was quiet in the' neighborhood of the camp. ; - Crisis Seems Imminent. ' The striking miners ljave broken all e cords both as to numbers attending Iheir mass meetings and the excellent I order and law-abiding behavior exhib- I ited. It is conceded by all that in former times, under' similar circumstances, bloodshed would have resulted long ago from the conditions under which the miners have been placed during the strike. ( The mass meeting of miners at tlie McCrea schoolhouse Monday was the largest during the strike, and prob ably the largest gathering of the kind ever seen in Allegheny county. More than 5,000 striking miners met for an all-day session, and labor lead ers harangued them in various tones, while bands of music served to stir up enthusiasm to tho highest pitch. From early morning miners of every nation ality were gathering at the school house. They came in big bands and small ones, but the one that set the camp wild with enthusiasm arrived'from Turtle Creek. It consisted of 1,000 ' miners from that camp, and when they came in sight there. was such cheering . as has not been heard since the strike started. When the miners of the two - parties met there was some wild scenes. . Men rushed around shaking hands, shouting and even embracing - each other. The crowd gathered was - so much larger than anticipated that the men were wild with joy. T. J. McCoy, a prominent member - of the Typographical Union, extended the sympathy anil financial support of the printers of the country arid said the organization had mode a per capita ' assessment for five weeks ' to be paid ' for the benefit of the strikers. COAL SHIPMENTS SHORT. Quarter of Million Tons of Coal Less Than Last Year. The shipments of coal westward by lake from the port of Buffalo, N. Y., show a falling off of 225,000 tons as compared with last year to this date.

A Washington special says: The , Japanese government has. accepted the offer made by Hawaii to arbitrate the dispute between the two countries. The state department has been inform ed of the offer and the acceptance. The subjects for arbitration will in-; elude not only the difficulty over the landing of the Japanese, immigrants, but also will include other disagree ments between the two countries, the most important of which is the tax imposed upon - the Japanese liquor, largely imported and consumed by the in Hawaii. The acceptance of the offer of arbi tration, a brief synopsis of which has been telegraphed to the Japanese min ister here and given the state depart ment, states that the Japanese govern ment accepts arbitration in principle and Is prepared to enter upon the terms for a settlement of pending dis putes. ' . - ; : - l v The formal letter of acceptance has been sent to Hawaii and the conditions of arbitration will be contained there in. , These conditions are not known here. Pending the arrangement of de tails, all other proceedings looking to a settlement will be discontinued The sake tax, of which the Japanese complain, is an increase of the duty on this liquor from 15 cents to $1 per gallon. This tax was passed by the Hawaiian legislature and vetoed by President Dole on the ground that it was unconstitutional, and in violation of the treaty with Japan, who had rights under Jhe most favored cause. The tax was passed over his' veto almost unanimously, only one vote being cast to sustain the president. The pressure for taxing sake was from the salmon keepars and the mon ufocturers of liquors, as the Japanese use this liquor almost wholly to the exclusion of other beverages. TEXAS DEMOCRATS ACT. At n Called Conftenee They Affirm TJnwn - Terlng Allegiance to the Part. ;-' Over a thousand Texas democrats attended a conference at Waco Friday, called by Chairman Blake of the dem ocratic state "executive committe. ' The most important action taken was the adoption of resolutions affirm- ing unwavering allegiance to the prin- ciples of the party as expressed in its recent platform, state and national, and appealing to citizens who desire good government to stand as a unit for its support. - The paragraph in regard to finance is as follows; ,;. "That we hail as an advance sign of the return to the principles upon which the prosperity of the conntry can alone be achieved, the disposition of the people in other states, as ex pressed in the recent elections, to the time-honoi ed doctrine of bimetallism and to the use of both gold and silver as the standard, money metals of the country, and to ' a system of fair and just taxation, opposed . to the trusts and monopolies, and to the principles contained in the last national, demo cratic platform adopted at Chicago in 1896." ; The resolutions conclude with a denunciation of the republican party.' NEW PLACE FOR ANDREWS. Deposed President Will Assmne Charge of Another University, - j i A Providence special says that President Andrews, of Brown uni versity, will in September assume thif head of the university projected by John Brisben Walker, the New York millionaire journalist, along absolutly unique lines. Mr. Walker, is also a Silverman. - The university will at first resemble the chautuqua movement! .

The institution will be liberally en dowed. ; President Andrews will be assisted by an advisorjf board of ten of the ablest minds H the country. Presi dent Andrews, in speaking of the mat ter, said: f - i "The course of studies will be work ed out with reference to the real needs of men and women in the various vk8 of Wf. nd. n,be designed not w7. lo prouuee Droaaer minas, more cultivated intellects and give greater fitness for special lines of work, but to make better citizens, better neigh bors, and give a happier type of man and womanhood, FITE TEARS FOR BRIDGES.

TO JUSTICE. HAS CLEAR EVIDENCE AS TO THREE Five Unndred XolIara Each for the Flrit , Two Convicted; S100 for Each Addi tional Conviction Seenred. The governor of Georgia has offered a reward for the Byder lynchers and the names of the most of them are in his possession. He has clear evidence as to three, and it is likely that evi dence as to the others will develop on the trial. The governor offers rewards as follows: : ; Five 'hundred dollars for the first two lynchers of Dr. Byder arrested and convicted. One-hundred dollars for each sub sequent lyncher of Dr. Byder arrested and convicted. f : - ,, . Two bundled and fifty dollars for each person arrested and convicted of f ejonions conduct in preventing the arrest or detection of parties guilty of this crime. " ' This action was taken without hesi tation, after an hour's hearing with Dr. C. j A. Ryder of Gainesville, and Prof. El A. Byder of Columbus. The brothers are determined and will exert every effort to convict the men who were concerned in the Talbot county, lynching. . Governor Atkinson was asked for an expression of his views, and said: , 'I am determined to do all that, is possible! for the executive to do" in bring to justice the men wbo are guilty of the murder of Byder, "There are two lines upon which we must proceed " in order to rid our country oi this practice which is injur ing alike the character of our people and of our civilization. "One :is for the press, the pulpit and all enlightened and patriotic citizens to exert themselves to make such offenses odious until right views are recognized and conformed . to by all people, j ' ' y. . ; "Those who cannot be reached in this way must be reached by being made to ( feel the force of the strong arm of the law. They should" be given tol understand that when they attempt to take a prisoner from the bands of) officers their own lives will be forfeited by their effort, and that in case of a successful effort they will be punished by the courts. "There has been much said a': out the delays of the law, and yet to one who fully comprehends our system and its results this point will receive little consideration. We have now in our penitentiary, and county chaingangs over 4,000 convicts. We -have had a large number hung during my admin istration,! and where there is an occa sional instance where a case is kept in court a great . while, it is a rare excep tion and not the rule. "In addition to that, permit me to say that the men who lynch and take the lives j of their fellow men in their own hands are not the men who are usually found on the side of law and order, and. if lynching be apologized for on the ground that the law does not conform to the. views of everyone, then there will never be a stop put to it. ! "This being true, let apology for lynch law I cease, let it be condemned in unmeasured terms, and whatever is to be said about changing the law. let it be said to the general assembly, and not for the purpose of palliating a crime lynchers are guilty of. "I am satisfied that the good citi zens of Talbot county fully realize the enormity of this offense and I expect from them that .hearty co-operation which every good citizen owes to the officers of the law under which he lives.' i - VIRGINIA POPULISTS ADJOURN. Captain Edmnnd R. Cocke - Nominated For Lieutenant Governor. The populist state 'convention at Roanoke assembled again Thursday morning.

Miners in the Danville, 111., dis trict are in destitute circumstances. Over 400 families are reported without means. Citizens and many of the op erators are contributing liberally with provisions ana money, mere is no evidence that the strikers contemplate giving up. A Chicago dispatch says: Provisions for the relief of the suffering miners of Illinois are coming in rather slowly. The - relief headquarters have been open two days, but nothing beyond few cash contributions from laltor unions has been received. GREECE'S POPULATION GROWS.

Miners Swoop Dow a v-fJpon DeArmitt Armed with Walkinr Sticks. ' Oak Hill, in the vanity of Turtle Creek, Plum Creek and Sand Creek, of DeArmitt, was i Evaded after mid' night Wednesday by an army of strik ers who were on hand to attend the . great mass meeting held near the mines Thursday morning. It is estimated that by daybreak here 'were several thousand miner's encamped upon the hills surrounding he lie w York and Cleveland Gas Coal company's property. They came from every direction, - headed by ' brass . bands, and nearly all' of them carried heavy walking 'sticks, and some were armed. There were no threats of violence, however, and no indications of drink ing, i Many were sspplied with food enough to last two days. Immediately upon reaching Oak Hill the strikers prepared for camp. In the valley leading up from Turtle Creek to one of the New York and Cleveland mines the company had a powerful searchlight. It was kept shifting about in hopes of flanking any movement of the strikers td creep within reach of the' mine unknown to the deputies, who guarded every approach. Long. before daylight the strikers were up, and after eating their frugal meal, prepared for the day's work The intention was to see as. many of De Armitt's men before they got into the pits as possible, v r a- :)' - ; : About 4 o clock 1,500 strikers as sembled at Turtle Creek, and headed by three brass bands, with flags and banners flying, marched by the houses occupied by De Armitt's men. The strikers hooted and yelled and then marched to the . mines, where they planted themselves before the pit, thus compelling DeArmitt's men to run the gauntlet to get to work. . . A short time later,1 Sheriff Lowry, who bad been wired to for assistance, arrived from Pittsburg with fifty depu ties, armed with Winchesters. The strikers quietly withdrew and the new deputies were placed on guard. When ; thev meeting was called to order at 10 o'clock Thursday morning there were 3,000 striking miners iri attendance, and before it was well un der way there were 5,000 people in the vicinity. . ,-?-. v- -; -': - :"?:-; i' ', "' The, demonstration had no efiect upon the men at Plum Creek, and all went to work. The strikers used all their powers of persausion upon the diggers, but none were molested .and no threats were made. .-, : President Dblan was made chairman of the meeting, and In a short .speech he accused De Armitt - of insincerity. Ho said if De Armitt's men did not come out, there would be a sympathy Strike all over the United States. -; i M. P. Carrick was next introduced, and he said . that workingmen all over the United States were interested in this strike,, because it will have a ten dency to raise wages everywhere. ; . "If you men of the DeArmitt mines will not come out now, we will march 60,000 men here and compel you to come out, not by force, but by shame. When Eugene V. Debs 'as intro1 duced there was great enthusiasm. He said in part: "I am here not to encourage passion out to appeal to reason, xou ,are in the midst af the greatest contest the world has ever, known. Whether you Bucceea or tan depends upon your selves. In order to win, you must re main absolutely sober until this con test is ove'r. Whisky clouds the brain, robs you of your money and , makes you brutal, and also - makes you do just what your enemies want you to do." - . - After the meetinpr the Sandy Creek miners returned to work, and the strikers went into camp and had lunch. PENSION RULES REVISED. Changes OVUl Make Many Modiflcatioea In Present Practices." A thorough revision of the rules gov erning the adjudication of pension claims under the second section of the act of June 27, 1890. has been made by Assistant Secretary of the Interior Webster Davis at Washington, and sweeping modifications in the present practices are the result. . The changes are embodied in in structions to the commissioners of pensions, it is stated that representa tions were made that the present rules render the odministrafi6pf ,rlhe law dificult and embarrassing. The new code, it is said, will fur nish a safe, speedy and uniform sys tem of adjusting this class of cases. CHARTER FORTY STE15TERS., Twenty Million BnsheU of Grain to Ito .

Elliott Claims That Special Commleslenei Poster Ht Misled Secretary Shermejs. In His Reports On SeaUng Matters. Professor Henry W. Elliott, of the Smithsonian institution, has given out the complete' text of his recent sensa tional letter to Judge Day, assistant secretary of state, regarding, the seal fisheries. It reads as follows: Hon. W. JL Dat, assistant secretary of state, Washington: " li Dear Sir In the Morning Recorder, of Lakewood, Ohio, appears the text of a letter to Lord Salisbury, dated May 10 1897: and . signed by Hon. John Sherman, secretary of state, on the fur seal question. This letter is prefaced .by an account of the great embarrassment which its publication has caused the president, and that it has been held up for several days at the request of : John .W. Foster, who now fears the effect of has own work a few weeks earlier. ' ' ' "Inasmuch as I have a closer per sonal knowledge of this present ques tion than : any other ' man living, and vastly more extended, and inasmuch as I am the author of the modus viven di of 1893, 'which ;s the only credible step taken by our government toward settling this seal dispute since it be gan in 1890 up to date, I desire to say that after a careful perusal of the let ter of May 10th, Above cited, the president has reason to feel greatly embarrassed, because it lays the state department open to a crushing reply from those not of the Canadian office, and you will.be in- the same mortify ing fix that Blaine found himself in 1890, when the Canadians simply crushedihis contra bonis mores letter by the date which'; they promptly fur nished in rebuttal. ' "In experienced and ignorant men should not write, such letters dealing with data about which they know7 no more than so many parrots. John VV. Foster, is utterly ignorant of the truth in regard to the salient f eatnres of this seal question on the islands; that letter of May 10th is like all other prepara -tiohs from his hand on this subject full of gross errors, , "His dullness in making up the American casein 1892-93 cost us that shameful and humiliating defeat which we met with at Paris in 1893. . Had he been . bright and quick witted, he never would have met with such dias "ter.-" ::vV;vv" "Taking this commonplace man up now after this record of flat-failure is stamped all over his anatomy, and putting him in charge of your sealing question will only thrust you deeper into the mire than he and your prede cessors have been placed before by the bright men over the line at Ottawa. "I am moved to write you on this ' point because a senator of the United States recently said to me that Foster had r assured the president that the information which X gave the British in 1890 caused the defeat of the Amer ican case at Paris in 1893. 1 The mean ness and untruth of this charge will be quickly seen by your turning to my report of November 17; 1890, which contains this information." I "Mr. Foster and his stupid associ ates tried to suppress this report be cause it contained the proof' of my an thorship of - the modus vivendi of 1891-93, which he meanly stole from me pktgarized in fact, but he was nn able to suppress it. - And now that he comes forward again to figure in this Question. I intend that he shall-be re- quired at the proper time and before the proper tribunal to give a lull ac count of his wretched record as the agent of the United States before the Behring sea tribunal at Paris in 1893, - "This whole sealing business, from the day the trouble began in 1890-91 up to date, has not been in the hands of a competent man for one moment. It has been and is now the sport of Canadians,' and the languid contempt of the British queen a council is all that it receives wnen it comes up there. Very truly yours, ' "Hjekbt W. Elliott.
