The insult offered to the Portuguese flag by a party of students in California on the Fourth of July is not expected to lead to any complications. Viscount tie Santo-Tbryso, the Portuguese minister to the United States, called ut the state department today, and had a short talk about tho matter.

Mine Foreman Fires on Striker Coal Famine Is Imminent In Chicago The Strikers at Other Points. Pittsburg, July 26. Incitement was at fever heat in local mining circles today. The operators were apparently prepared for any demonstration, and before nightfall they were convinced that matters had taken a serious turn. Early in tho morning about 500 miners from the Finleyville district marched on the Bunola mines, on the river, and succeeded in bringing out the men at work.

Sheriff Lowry, of this county, has a force of deputies ready for duty nt a moment'" notice, and trouble is looked (or at any time. The deputies are in readiness to go to the mines of the New York Cleveland Company. A march on the Turtle creek, Plum creek and Sandy creek mines ia expected at any time. At Canonsburg it was reported that 1,000 men would march to the Cook mines tonight and stay there until the diggers came out. Sheriff Clark, of Washington county, is on hand with a large number of deputies, and trouble is expected if the strikers attempt to force tha men to quit work.

The new state law to compel operators to weigh the coal before it is screened and to pay the miners on its basis, is to be tested to its fullest extent, and the whole uniformity agreement hinges on this test. A large number of operators are putting in scales, so as to weigh the coal according to the new law, but others are preparing to fight it. A member of the arbitration commission said tonight that the new anti-screening law would cut a figure in the new agreement, and the law would be thoroughly tested before it is incorporated in the agreement. The arbitrators were at work among the Pittsburg operators today, and they are trying every means to bring about a meeting of the operators. So far they have been unsuccessful in arranging tor a meeting, but it is hoped they will accomplish this shortly.

Xearlng; a Crisis. Fairmount, W. July 26. An army of deputy sheriffs now guards the like mine, at Kings, three miles above here, cr the Tygart's Valley river. The sheriff was called there this afternoon as the operators feared an outbreak, but no arrests were made.

Karly this morning the drivers at the mine joined tho strikers. The operators Becured new drivers in an hour, and at noon over half of the miners came out. Then the seoond lot of drivers threw up their positions, and some of the men began stoning the miners, who were forced to leave their work. Ralph Hite, the foreman, soon had his Winchester rifle in his hand, and three Bhots quickly checked the enthusiasm of all the strikers but one, who made for Hite with a pick, but he was driven back at the point of a revolver. The operators, however, feared another outbreak, and called on the county officials for aid.

Tonight organizers are there, and they say all the men will join the strikers, but Hite stated that nil or most of the men would be at work tomorrow. Stopped by an Injunction. Canonsburg, July 2B. The second march on the Allison mine was made this evening by 600 strikers from Miller's run and the Millersburg district. No bloodshed resulted, as the leaders are cool-headed men ami held their men in check.

The strikers reached the coal tipple about dark, but were met by a deputy sheriff, who served an injunction on the leader, Andrew Savage. After some parleying mo men murciied back a lew hundred yards and camped in the open field. Still Working at Wheeling. Wheeling, W. July 20.

The arrival of President Katchford at Fair-mount is the event of the day in West Virginia. It is not likely Katchford will be able to do anything which Debs could not do.

They favor commisainn. ing all the strikers as missionaries to work from man to man among the Death and Disaster Followed In Its Wake.

Youngstown, July 26. The storm which struck this city and vicinity at 7 o'clock last night was very disastrous. Cartheny Mayer was struck by lightning and instantly killed. The Mahoning river rose two feet in an hour and washed away several bridges. Crab creek, an insignificant Btream rose 15 feet in an incredibly short space of time, doing great damage in the lower portions of tho city.

Houses were washed away from their foundations anil men, women and children were rescued from second-story windows, a bathtub' being used in lieu of a better craft. Squaw creek Park, near the city, was practically wiped out of existence. Trains are beginning to move after 12 hours' delay. The estimated loss to this city alone approaches $100,000. The storm was local, in many respects resembling a cloudburst, the people being given little warning.

Uieut, Iusb of life was narrowly averted at Spiing Common foot bridge. Men, women and children insisted on remaining to watch the angry waters below in spite of the fact that the tsiucture was unsafe. Finally two policemen with drawn clubs cleared the bridge, and a few seconds later the bridge was swept away. from rural districts show that farmers suffered greatly. In Trumbull county 15 barns were struck by lightning and burned.

Crops were destroyed and buildings generally damaged, but no loss of life is yet reported. A RAILROAD CHANGE. miners in their homes. Coal Shortage In Chicago. Chicago, July 20.

A shortage of coal has begun to be felt here. The Chicago refinery, which uses 600 tons daily, has suspended operations in view of the high prices. Local coal men believe that the sugar refinery's suspen. sion is a forerunner of a number of similar cases, when similar large consumers attempt to replenish their Mock.

Trouble is looked for if the miners do not oorne out. McNeill, of the O. It. ft May Be rresident of the N. I'.

Spokane, July 20. A St. Paul special to the Spokesman Review says: Upon good authority it is reported here that the efforts of President J. Hill, of tho Great Northern, to acquire control of the Northern Pacific are still short of consummation. According to the latest Btory in railroad circles, a three-cornered fight is now in progress for the control of the great property.

Mr. Hill stands at one point of the triangle, the present management at another, and McNeill, of the O. K. at the third. If the present management should obtain control by defeating the efforts of Hill, it is understood that Julius Hannaford, at present traffic manager, will bo made president of the company.

Mr. Hannaford has been called to New York, and it is beileved his mission has to do with this interesting struggle. Mr. McNeill, former president and general manager of tho O. K.

is leading the third movement. He has the backing of the Russell Sage interest. It is known that Mr. McNeill has strong hopes of success. President Hill was instrumental in having Mr.

Mohler appointed to McNeill's place as manager of the O. R. and it is thought the reorganizer of the Oregon road is out for revenge as well as power. A Colorado Clondyke. Silver Cliff, t.

July 26. If a find Which has just been made here turns out as expected, Colorado may have a Clondyke of its own, and this old Custer county camp will take on a new life. The discovery was made vestnrdnv Joseph Foulk, a well-known Custer I county man, who has been looking over the ground about half a mile southwest of town and near the water works. I Foulk got out some quartz heavily charged with sylvanite. The rock showed some free gold.

It was brought to town and tested. Some of the syl- vanite was roasted, and brought out great gold nuggets. i The news of the discovery quickly spread, ami within a few hours there was great rush to the new diggings. A dozen claims were taken up, and be-, fore night and today the whole of Sil-j ver Cliff seems to be going to the scene of the find The new camp is directly between the Zoo and Rattlesnuke mountain camps. A Convict's Sensational Confession.

I Indianapolis, July 26. Noah Baney, a convict at Michigan City state prison, lias written a confession which, if proved true, will have the effect of giving Rev. W. K. Hinshaw I his liberty.
