FITTSBUEO DI3TBI0T la Now Key To the Whole Strike Sit uation. PiTTssjtrmo, July lines are tightening in all sections of the Pittsburg mining district with th exception of a few spots. Th diggers In th New York and Cleve land Gas Coal Company are still working.

but President txilan and Secretary Warner are preparing for a move of a sensational order on that -point. It waa looked for to day, but will be made some time Saturday or Sunday, tb lime not. yet being agreed upon. A letter written by a miner on the Wheel ing Division of the Baltimore and Ohio, complains that operators are Influencing the boarding bouse keepers to Issue attach' ments against the single men for th small amounts they owe, and are also threaten lng the men having families with land lords' warrants and ejections if they don't return to work. Some of the reports front the Monongahela River district indicate (hat many of the miners of that section are weakening, and that some have already returned to work.

with prospects of more following their exam-pi before long. The Chamonnl mines of the Tide Coal Company, th mines of the Charles Jutte Company and th Samuel O'Neill mines at Fayette and the Jon mines at Monongahela were at work today. This condition of affairs is causing much excitement in the valley. The operators claim these mines are either running full or partially to-day. Pittsburg and Chicago Ona Coal Company's mines at Gaslonvllle and Snowden; Jumbo mine, of the Pittsburg Consolidated Coal Company, and Columbia Oaa Coal Company's mine, near West Newton; Newton and Cleveland Oas Coal Company's mines, at Turtle Creek, Oak UU1 and Plum Creek; J.

B. Corey's lJuquesne mine, in the Pennsylvania Railway district; Dickson's Hampton mine, in the same district; Whitney A 8te phenson's Manor shaft; West Moreland Coal Company's mines, at Irwin; Berwynd, White Company mines In the Pennsylvania Railroad district, -and the Keystone Coal Company's mines, at West Greens-burg. The most of these mines are reported ln full operation, and the operators ay tti Pennsylvania Railroad handled a thousand cats) of 'coal yesterday. Most of it, they say, went to the Western markets. The following Is Secretary Warner's list of the pits now working and how strong: At th Boon mine, Canonsburg Coal Company, 75 100 men at Allison mine of J.

8 teen, working for cents; but he was sure that the Wlclrha- ven miners would be out ln the morning. He also asserted that there were not 600 of the 8,000 river miners at work. The officials of the United Mine Workers, both local and national, realize that this is a crucial time ln the strike movement, with the greatest Interest centered ln Oie Pitts burg district. Efforts will be made to get out all the working river miners and the Dearmitt men. such as were never made before ln the history of.

a coal strike. Much depends upon their success, and. ln fact. It will likely be the turning point in the movement. Up to the present time not a man has quit at the mines of the New York and Cleveland Oas and Coal Company, and none are expected to Join the strikers.

President W. P. Dearmitt says rh men are perfectly satisfied with the price and the conditional They are receiving 10 cents a ton above what la called for ln their contracts. Trouble la -expected on the Wheeling; Division to-morrow, as it will be pay-day. It is estimated that fully $40,000 will be paid out ln cash: An effort will be made by some of the operators and railroad officials to have the licensed saloons at Flnleyville closed to-morrow, claiming that there will be rioting If the men who have money patronise these places.

There are many foreigner employed at the mines, and they are considered dangerous when under the influence of liuuor. B.

Chairman Severely Criticised For His Present Course. IfeKi.Ier Will Modif Ciril Service Bales T. Make Been Fer His Faithful Fellewen.

srs ciax. atarascat to tses auratnaaav WaiaixoTox, D. July 9. A eorre- spondence bad between two members of th National Republican Committee may lead to aa investigation of tb methods of Its distinguished Chairman. It seems after the the recent Presidential contest ended the committee, even with its profligacy of ex penditures, could not And tb piac to dump In round numbers about 3000,000, Bo it waa deposited In a bank subject to the check of its proper officer.

Tb complaint now Is that Senator Hanna appears to th entire committee and makes appointments at will, to which princely aa riea are attached. To this is added the further complaint that the resources of the committee are being used al most singly to build up an Ohio machine In the Chairman's personal Interest, rather than for the party's general welfare. It is alleged that here In Washington elaborate permanent quarters hav been engaged with a retinue of clerks, all Mr. Hanna's personal friends, whose duties do not have reference to but one state, and that state Ohio. Mr.

Major Dick, or whatever his title may be, has been appointed Secretary of the committee. His main duties, it Is charged, are the conduct of Mr. Hanna's personal correspondence and the building up of a machine to aid him in his senatorial contest. It Is quite natural that such an open manifestation of the energies of the committee has caused not only criticism, but some little talk now In the open. There are several states outside of Ohio where.

the Republicans will have to be to bold their own. Naturally from such quarters the hope Is expressed that the Chairman ln the hot chase for his own succession will not overlook others deserving, and who are now making it quite patent that there are other pebbles on the beach. Again it is regretted In some quarters that Mr. Hanna should not see the wisdom of divorcing the National Committee from his state organization. This found mani festation In his effort to displace Mr.

Kurts as ChsJnrntn of the Ohio Republican Committee with Major Dick, alleged to be Secretary of the Navttonal Committee, but whose latter appointment baa not as yet been ratified by the full committee and may not be. The fight made for Dick by virtue of bis temporary assignment with the Na tional Committee -provoked -the criticism that the National Committee's machinery was being employed for personal use. And to add to the situation, when Dick was ready to hav the bag and bgrae of the organization moved to Cleveland the protests became so violent that Mr. Hanna had to forego the acheme and put a veto on it, notwithstanding his desire for such change. It Is pec-ted, however, tn face of these protests, that when Congress adjourns the National Committee will be moved to the Perry-Payne Building ln Cleveland, and Major Dick.

Jake Donaldson and other personal chatela ins will be moved with the outfit. HCKlniey vacation. It. Was to-day decided where President MoKinley will spend a portion of his sum mer vacation. About a week after his trip to Chicago to attend the exercises of the un veiling of the statue of General Logan Pres ident and Mrs.

McKlnley, accompanied by Secretary and Mrs. Porter, will leave for the Hotel Cham plain, situated on the banks of Lake Champlaln. They will remain thera two or three weeks, probably during tbe month of August. In fact, the seat of Gov ernment will be practically transferred there, aa Vice President Hobart and Secretary Alger have decided to take their families there at the time of the President's visit. Secretary Gage may also be a visitor.

The party will be settled there about tbe first of August. It has not yet been decided where the President will spend tb remai n- ing part of the 60 daya which he intends to take as a vacation. Some of tbe time he will doubtless put in at a seashore, resort. He baa finally abandoned his project of going to the far West this year. He may make this trip next summer at the close of the regular session of Congress 1 Places For Hustlers.

It was on that sveuiug that a report raeehad here that Eastep was at th bom a eouala on Traos Creek, this county.

At any rate, two hours later, the daring; detective waa wending his. way through tbe moun tains toward Trace Creek, where Eastep was located. It was shortly after midnight when Bevtns appeared at the front door of the Easteo home, and with his favorite Colt's revolver ln his hand be rapped on the door for admittance.

They have two preacher and a eoa a preacher can didates for Congress la th Fourth District. The latter Is Francis Marioa Griffith, the Democrat, whose father was ef th Baptist denomination. Hla eppoaenta are Lea, the Methodist and Republican, and Browder, Disciple ot Christ and Populist. Th Re publics a managers ptouoss te help Bra. Browder Indirectly by stiff saint; his back- boa with expectation, and Pro.

Lee directly by giving bira all the sinews of war th Stat Central Committee can command. Apparently there will not be much activity in Bro. Lee's company of manse pol iticians until a week or tw before tb loth of when tbe special election oc curs. Until then they will lie la ambush. and If th campaign fund is sufnclerilly large at that time they propose to raid tb district.

That ln formation waa taken right BKxr ros rsra iws Of a talkative member of the Republican Convention a day or tw ago. "It can get L200 votes tor Browder. he remarked. Lee will be elected. That ts tbe Repub lican policy for this short and geographical ly limited eampaaga.

Wher the L2U0 Populist votes are to eorn from hi a mystery to' those familiar with th voting resources and party allgnmeat the past four congressional The Populists hav always been weak la th dis trict, th largest county vote they ever cast being that Ave years ago tn Jennings, when It waa 449 for L. CL Adams, whom th Republicans assisted in their fruitless en deavor to defeat Jason B. Brown. That county has been Republican tn past four congressional elections, and there was not a k'opuilst vote tn it until lift2. Two years later the 449 were reduced nearly one half, and last year disappeared altogether, when th Republican plurality cam down to 138 from nearly 000.

In no other county of the district baa tb Populist vote gone over 300. except tn Ripley ln 02 and 94. Putting these figures aside, the largest Populist vote remaining was in Jefferson, 133; Jack son. lttV; Brown. 110; Decatur.

153; the av eragSk all told. In the tour congressional elections, from 1SUO to ISM inclusive, being only a llttl over 6O0, the strictly Republican counties furnishing tbe most of It. It was tn Ripley where the Populists did th great er misohief under Republican guidance. They chopped down a healthy Democratic majority, too, last fail, and in th meantime helped Watson carry the county by 410. Therefore it Is.

supposed tbe Kepubl lo ans, to Increase th support of Browdsr, will make THXIB ORXATX XTT Tn Jennln and Ripley, but when and how they are to raise 2ta vote -of this class to elect Lee they alone know. The law of averages in tne aistrict gives the Democrats th best of It, so much so that the overwhelming Republican vote ef U4 was but enough to cut down th aver-ag Democratic plurality the last seven years to less than l.luo. Jackson, Brown, Switzerland snd Dearborn have remained el as filly and Jefferson, Jen-nlna-s, Decatur and Ohio Rep ubl ican. Bar tholoroew and Ripley went Republican in DtiH, but returned to the Democrats last year. Five at least of the 10 counties can be relied on to give a Griffith plurality, the four named witn Bartnoiomew.

I neir aver- are Democratic plurality is about l.uw. The Republicans think they can capture Bartholomew, but tney wui learn to torgat and forgive before they can get into th proper frame or mino tor narmomous action. Uncle Joe Irwin, banker and manufacturer of Columbus, through more than a generation a nme or success mi political management, mad his only mistake last year when directed the anti-McKlnley sentiment in his county. But he has seemingly enough vigor ln him to last another generation of pontics! battles. He Is keep ing up tn nrnt against nis sucoessiui successors In Republican control in Bartholomew with the vim and intellectual resources of political direction that astonishes th youngsters who cam ln with Senator Fairbank triumph.

They say ln Columbus that Unci joe does not know WHXJT KB IS WHIPPKO, And although Stevens's appointment as Postmaster of that city was sent In many davs aao. delay ln confirmation has caused Stevens, and his colleague of th Big Four, as they ar called, some uneasiness, may fear the persistency and aggressiveness of th veteran Irwin have either blocked their scheme or made confirmation so long com ing as to take a good aeai or joy out or victory.

This is typical to a greater or less degree of the trouble the Republicans ara having all over the district about appotntmenta Therefore, the party la not ln shape to carry a 1 em- osmtic district, and tb leaders reeoarntx that their only hope Is to try to build up tbe Populist party again tn a section of the state wnere sucn enons never met with much encouragement. Cincinnati haa a remote kinship with the district, as the sturdy German' population of that elty had much to do In developing its resources and making Its rich plains bloom like the rose. Cincinnati Germans went into many of the counties, and from over the sea came friends and relatives ta Join mem, so in Bartnoiomew, Kipley, Dearborn and other counties the Teutonic color ing is pronounced, in aa of them the lean population is made up of the discs Dajrrs or gcaar rttcrrtass.

That county has no railroad, and no mean af communication with the outside world except the daily mall carried to and from Columbus. But a telephone line is being put in, the first of modern conveniences that is to come to the people of. Brown, who are hospitable, intelligent and politically up-to-date.
