I SECRECY 10 ENVELOPE COAST DEFENSES War Department Energetic to Keep Its Plans. DETERMINED TO KEEP FOREIGN ATTACHES FROM GETTING INFORMATIONWILL NOT WITNESS THE ARMY AND NAVY MANOEUVRES.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. Through recent agitation of the condition of the coast defences, public attention has been brought to hear on this branch of the military system, which is guarded with more secrecy than any other. The fact that lcya American citiw-ns are barred from visiting the fortifications, while foreign laborers are employed under the shadow of the big guns, has caused considerable criticism. It is probable that the War Department will soon take tetion looking toward the barring of all but American labor in the constructing and improving the coast defences.

Just what steps will be taken to secure this end is not certain, but thoughtful consideration to the matter, and are also debating a more effective plan for keeping secret the details of the important defences on both the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. The military strength of the United States has grown to such a point that foreign Governments are assisning some of their cleverest officers to WTashingion as militarv and naval attaches for the pur pose of getting detailed information as to the military resources of this countay. Within the last few months several instances have arisen to show with what presistency this practice has been followed. The military attache of one Government was so open in his work to this end that the Navy Department complained of the matter to the State Department, and. while no international incident arose, the officer has returned to bis country, and will probably not be re-assigned to Wash ington.

Secretary Moody recently gave orders that no foreign attache should be permitted to visit naval stations or navy yards, and it was decided onlv last week that the attaches of foreign Governments should not be allowed in the joint military the naval manoeuvres on the eastern ap proach to New York the first week in Sept ember. The secrecy thrown around tbe forti fications has generally been regarded a farcial. But the War Department bad about come to the conclusion that if the policy of secrecy is good for anything at all. it should be maintained thoroughly. As a result, extremely stringent regulations regarding visitors may soon be drafted but American labor will be acceptable.

There has been a steady outgoing from Washington to Newport within the past week of officers connected with the General Board. The advent of the manuvers and the presence of the North Atlantic Squadron in those waters is the cause. Lieutenant A. P. Black who has ireneral supervision of target practice, left for Newport to-day.

He will be aboard the fleet of the New England coast during the target practice of the North Atlantic Squadron, and witness the behavior of the naw style target, which has been adopted upon his recommendation. Captain Smith, of the General Board, who has bad more than any other naval officer to do with the plan of the joint manoeuvres, ha been in Newport for several days, as has Captain Bennett, of the General Board. MORGAN'S OFFER ACCEPTED. BRITISH GOVERNMENT COMES TO AN AGREEMENT WITH HEAD OF THE SHIPPING TRUST. LONDON, Aug.

7. Replying in the House of Commons to-day to request of Lord Charles Beresford for assurance that no binding agreement would be concluded between the government and the shipping combination without the agreement being approved by Parliament, the IPremler, A. J. Balfour, said: "I do not think it possible to negotiate on this or any other subject if the proposed terms are to be puWicly discussed before the government has agreed to them. The government, however, is most anxious to take the House into its confidence at the earliest possible moment." Mr.

Balfour's reply has particular interest, as Belfast dispatches to-day announce that the government accepted J. Plerpont Moron's offer to give the admiraJty claim on all the combine's ship. nvK Noivrt 'Hvrn ONLY 900 TONS SMALLEST TONNAGE OF HARD COAL IN YEARS. PHILADELPHIA. Aug.

MITCHELL WILL NOW APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT HE -WILL ASK THE PRESIDENT TO PARDON THE WEST VIRGINIA President Mitchell said yesterday in commenting on the decision of Judge Goff in the labeas corpus proceedings against the miners in West Virginia, that the only Aing to do now is to make an aupeal to itoosevelt for the pardon of the men In jail, ajad be thought this would be done at once. VICE PRESIDENT LOOMIS HERE. Loam is.

Vice President oF the L. 4 W. was in this city yesterday for brief period, but declined to talk concerning tie strike, but admitted that he was making an investigation of the pre-varlltg eoaditiotis. He will make a report to the president" ef Use coal carrying roads possible. Mr.

Leamis cae to the anthracite regions from New York on Monday, at tlha reouet of the operators, end will remain in this section for day or more. Nearly levervor.j would like tr. know what he thinks of the strike. He it a very conservative wan and will not express hiniscif unless it is essentially necessary. Mr.

loomis waa formerly superintendent of tha D. L. V. Company and had an office at Sra-rton, and there are few men wore conversant with the condition It is expected, when he returns to New fork, that there may be aome important There was no apecixl features in the strike situation yesterday and the reports from the strike (he adquarters indicated that no disturbances of any kind occurred and peace prevail, even at SUenandoah. President Mitchell ttill assumes that same confident attitude that bae characterized his actions in the past.

He believes the miners are going to win. Some of the oVwunt wutsrider, who eaid rlgit along that the sinkers could not hope to be successful, have changed their and are now the others, predicting victory. This indicates that the strikers' de-termiritiOB ia becoming more and wore evident. MM JONES HERE I Casis to Ses and With President rUHGlislI. WELL KNOWN LABOR LEADER DENOUNCES GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.

Mother Marv Jones, the well lecturer and labor leader, arrived itf this city Thursday evening from West Virifnit. where she has been making a determined effort to -have the miners stand up for their rights, which means better wages and shorter hours. It is true that her efforts and the others have been retarded by the courts, yet she does not despair and has the greatest hopes that the tie-up, in a short time, will be complete. Mother Jones says that her trip to this city bas no special significance. he simply came to have a conversation with President Mitchell on matters of a minor nature.

When asked coneernine the conditions in the soft coal fields of Virginia she said: "Words cannot describe the treatment accorded the men In these fields, a he majority do very little except work and the compensation is so decidedly small that it makes the ordinary mortal boil with indignation. The mine owners are arbitrary and will concede nothing. The courts, too, are on their side. Some of the jutges have done everything In their power to break the strike, but they will not succeed. These men only seek pustlce and they will get it, mary by word.

These biased judiciaries will be regulated to their proper sphere. There is a time coming. I hope it is not far distant, when the honest men of the country will rise up and forcibly protest against government by injunction. It is demoralizing. Some of the mine leaders have been placed in jail, but that has not retarded the movement.

Of course we miss these brave fellows. Onward and upward has been the aim of the mine workers and there will be no stop until the goal is reached. They have justice their aide. Concerning the strike in the anthracite region Mother Jones had very httle to say. Phe believes they will win, however, as the reports from the various sections are decidedly favorable.

She continued by saying that the mHers realize that this is the battle of the'r life and will endure almost everything before they give up. Her opinion of Judges Jackson and Keller, of Virginia, was not of the highest. If she can spare the time she will siake several addresses before returning to West Virginia. JAME-?

number of guests at Luncheon to-day. Senator Piatt, of Connecticut; Mr. Phelps, secretary to the Governor of Connecticut, and Mr. Clark, of the Hartford Courant, came to talk over the political situation in their State with the President. Representative Jesse Overstreet, of Indiana, one of tha members of the Congress campaign committee, discussed with the President the political situation generally se far as it relates to the Congressional elections in the fall.

He talked to the President, too, regarding the latter's proposed visit to Indiana in September. Senator Stewart, of Nevada, discussed briefly wit'i the President some Western matters in which he is interested. Others present were General James S. Clarkson, of Iowa; Representatives J. S.

Pedestrians were startled shortly before midnight last night when a woman who attempted to enter a saloon on Pennsylvania avenue received a terrific blow in the face from some one inside and went reeling prostrate into the gutter.

The policeman waa not In sight, but he later received enough evidence in the statement of a rrominent New Yorker who had wit nessed tbe assault to warrant an arrest. None was made, however. The New Yorker branded the man making the assault a coward and wondered that the police of the city would allow any man to arsault a woman on a puolm street. A few patrons of the tenderloin and the policeman laughed heartily then the latter went to make an arcen. He hurried the woman who had been assaulted rough ly along the street intent on locking her up.

A mend took her in tow, however, and the incident closed with another laugh. I BATHING GIRLS AS STATUES, OCEAN CITY'S ROBING ORDINANCE IS RIDICULED. OCEAN CITY. N. Aug.

7. The pas sage bv the Citv Council, over Mayor Champion's veto, of the ordinance pro hibiting persons in bathing costumes from parading the streets of the resort, seems to have been a farcical proceeding, since there is no apparent effort to enforce it. The only effort made by cottagjrs to meet the reauirements of the new law is to make it more ridiculous. Young men don hideous skirts and old-fashioned waists and derelict bonnets, while rollicking girls encase themselves in flowing white sheets, wbich they pull about their figures till they look like animated marble statues. One weakness of the ordinance is that someone must define the term "abbreviated costume." since these are the words used to express the prohibition.

The Mayor savs be doesn't feel capable of drawing the line on the feminine form, nor decide where the abbreviation begins and modesty ends. The problem remains unsolved. AFRAID OF CONVICTS. WOMEN AND CHILDREN KEEP TO THEIR HOMES, WHILE MEN GO ABOUT ARMED. NASHVILLE, Aug.
