Old miners who have aiched strike troubles develop he- ore say that unless the Duquoln, Cen- reville and Murphysboro men come terms trouble Is sure to break out. Tile Ijibor lA-nilei-H at Wheeling and tlic Mines at IMKsburc-Tlie Miners Atvnltlns the Outcome. Pittsbure, July coal companies' mines' located in the Pittsburg district were represented at the coal operator's uniformity meeting here yesterday. Tho operators who ship by ilvcr and owning mines in the field were not present.

The river operators held a meeting at the coal exchange this afternoon, and decided to take no part In the uniformity movement. No attention wag to the rail by the Westmoreland people. Very little ivas accomplished at the two sessions. The old uniformity agreement, the new clauses Inserted, were reported on by a committee, and tin- mcetiTiR today will take up the agreement by clauses for discussion. Where changes in the conditions since 1S96 warrant different provisions, coromltttees will be appointed to draw up clauses that will cover the points at Issue.

The only sensational Incident of the day's sessions occurred when Colonel W. P. Rend presented a minority report on the uniformity agreement, denouncing the procedure ot the meeting in severe terms and bolting the conference. At 6 o'clock the c-jmmittee reported the uniformity agreement with tho new clauses and preamble prepared by the visiting arbitrators. There seems to be considerable dissatisfaction with Mr.

DeArmitt's announcement that the conference has no connection with the strike, and merely for tiie purpose of establishing uniformity. Many of the operators think, with Colonel Rend, that the meeting should devise some means to settle the strike as well as to provide for uniformity. Reports to the miners' officials from throughout the district show everything quiet. All olans are being held In abeyance pending the action of the conference. NEWS" FRESH AIR FUND OXDEB or nw T.

Story of Great Fatalities In the Re- Blon Was Xo One at Forty Mile Post to Die Until About a Year San Francisco, July throngs about every shipping office that has the remotest Alaskan relations lave by no means diminished.

It would seem that the only circumstance which irevents the wholesale depopulation of San Francisco is the limit to the transportation facilities. Not only strong men whose broad backs, bronzed faces and work worn hands tell of previous experience with the labor that literally sweats the brow, but clerks and professional men and women in hundreds are seeking for information or transportation to the land where nuggets are to be had, they think, for the picking up. Every day sees some new scheme for overcoming the difficulties in the way of reaching the Klondike, a id the fleet of eteamers and schooners pressed into the service is growing steadily. The latest of the Klondike transportation company schemes is being engineered by Captain Herriman, who has mapped out a plan for reaching the diggings by the middle of September. He will charter a large sailing vessel, and the party will consist ot 60 men, each of whom will take one ton of provisions.

No one will be permitted to go unless he takes this quantity. Each one will be charged J225 for the trip, and Captain Herriman thinks that for this sum he can land them in Dawson City before Sept. 20. The ship will carry a large lighter, and a steam launch will be used to tow the lighter from St. Michaels to the Klondike.

After reaching St. Michaels ths cargo and passengers will be to tbe lighter and conducted to their journey's end by a man who is thoroughly acquainted with the river. The Alaska Commercial company's steamer Excelsior, which left yesterday, will not make another trip to Alaska before June of next year. All the accommodations to be disposed of for this trip have been sold, but would- be passengers continue to throng the company's The Commercial company not only declines to sell any more tickets, but Its representatives do all in their power to dissuade applicants from making the trip until next year.

Bowker says that so far from being over 2,000 deaths on the Tukon during the past three years, there was nobody there to die until something less than a year ago, and since then there have been three deaths in that whole district so far as known. In the grave yard at Fortv Mile post, which had served for alf that section for some years past there are only between 30 and 40 graves. Captain Kay, U. S.
