' LONDON , Aug. 6. The House of Com
mons met today at 10 o'clock and passed the
third reading of the appropriation bill , \\hlch
was then forwarded tu the House of Lords ,
/where / It passed all stages. Both liovitca
then suspended buslucm until 2:30 : p. in. ,
( when the queen'M speech proroguing Parlia
ment was read. It was as follows :
My Lords and Gentlemen : At the close of
the pension , during which there havu been
fllututhuncc and conflict In Kuropc , 1 am
lad to bu able to Inform you that the cor-
§ Inllty of my rclatloiiH with foreign powers
rcnmliiM unchanged. The united Influence
of the six powers signatory of the treaty of
I'urla was earnestly exerted early In thu
ycur to dlMUiaile the kliijr of Greece from u
( war upon which lie unhappily dcslrc-il to
enter. Though they failed In this endeavor ,
they v re ublu to bilng nbout an early
nuniicn&Ion of hostilities between the two
lOlllKcrcntB and open negotiations for peace.
These proceedings me protracted ami a
formal treaty haw not y t bcrti signed , hut
there Is good ground for believing thut all
the mois Important mattciH In controversy
linvo been adjusted , and that In return for
nn adequate indemnity the tcirltory coii-
nuered by Turkey with a slight rnoilllleatlon
of the frontier will be r colored to Greece.
t have given notlru to the king of the
Belgians nnd the Germtin emperor to termi
nate the treaties of 1&C2 and 1SOV , whereby
1 am prevented from making with my colonies
nies such fiscal arrangements within my
empire as seem to me expedient.
In conseeiueiicc of the Infraction by the
Chinese government of certain stipulations
of the convention of 1S94 a fresh convention
has been concluded , establishing the frontier
of Hurnmh nnd China more nilvnntu couely
to nfy empire and opening the West river
of China to European commerce.
1 have concluded n treaty of commerce
nnd friendship with King Mcnellk. The
presence of representatives of the colonies
end India at the ceremonies of the celebra
tion of the sixtieth year of my reign has
contributed to the strength of the bond of
union In all parts of my empire , nnd addi
tional proof of the attachment of the colonies
nies to the mother country him been fur
nished In the IKcal legislation of Canada and
the contribution that Cape Colony , follow
ing the example of Australasia , has offered
lor our navy defence.
The famine which to my profound grief
ha prevailed In large portions of my Indian
dominions since the autumn ot last year has
taxed severely the resources of that coun
try. I gladly acknowledge the energy ami
eclf-sacrlllce of my otllcors of all ranks ,
both Europeans and natives , and of the
many private persons who. with untiring
zeal ami anxious desire to avoid offense to
native feeling , have labored to save life and
relieve suffering. An appeal to the sym
pathy of rny subjects In all parts ot my
empire was responded to In the most gener
ous manner , and I rejoice lo learn that ,
owing to the satisfactory rainfall there ,
there Is very prospect that the area of dis
tress will be very greatly diminished.
The plague which caused a large number
of deaths has almost disappeared. The Im-
provompnt Is mainly due to the energetic
nnd judicious steps of the local governments.
QSvcry precaution , /lll bo adopted In view of
the possibility of Its recurrence , but at pres
ent there Is n steady decrease both of Its
prevalence and fatal effects.
Gentlemen of the House ot Commons , I
am grateful for the liberal provision to
which- you have assented for Increasing tin
maritime forces of my empire. It has given
me great pleasure to sanction the arrange
ments you have made for enlarging the
Important harbors of Dover and Gibraltar
Knd for strengthening the military defenses
of my empire. I anticipate that the
facilities you have given for the practice
of military maneuvers will conduce to tit
greater ctllclency of my army ,
The assistance your legislation ban given
to the support of necessitous schools will
pecure adequate provision for education In
localities where It la most required and will.
I trust , close for some tlmo a dllllcult aru
anxious controversy ,
The measure you have passed for the
compensation of workmen Injured by acci
dents In the course of their employment
. will confer great benefits upon a largo
uectlon of the population. , . . . .
I recognize with satisfaction the steps to
facilitate the transfer of land , to protect
the consumers of water In the metropolis.
nnd to relieve the distress In the conjested
district of Scoftiml.
I rejoice that you have been able to pro
vide a more elllclent and mor" economical
fiystcm for the judicial Institutions of Ire
land.
I pray that the fruit of your labors may
fco assured by the protection and blesMng of
* ho Almighty God.

1 CITY OF MEXICO , Aug. G. The drop In
ellver today sent exchange on Now York
to Its highest point (132) ( ) after banking
lioura. Merchants have largely canceled
foreign orders and will await something llko
permanency In exchange. The government
' IB making all Its estimates based on even
lower prices for silver. The leading bankers
arc * not dismayed and continue to predict a
reaction , although not until lower prices
liavo been reached. There Is undoubtedly
much apprehensive feeling , especially as to
the rapidity with which exchange has risen
{ without precedent. One of the bankers de
clares the United States will have to take
the Initiative In bringing about a solution
of the silver question , but there Is an opin
ion gaining ground that although sliver will
regain some of Its lost value. Its role aa a
money metal will soon bo ended and this
country will have to adopt tbo gold stand
ard ,
Native manufacturers are In some cases
raising prices on account of having to buy
foreign raw material. There Is no panic In
liusliieFo circles , but rather a feeling of
amazement and wonder as regards the f\ral
result and what changes will bo effected by
ibis disturbance of calculations.
The treasury people Insist there Is no
ittiougbt entertained of adopting the gold
Ibauls , The government will meet Its f.old
Interest at any cost , even to the adoption
of a most rigorous economy , and will purouc
a waiting policy. Many contractors who
have bought machinery and supplies abroad
flud their profits reduced to nothing.

EXPRESSES SUPREME CONTEMPT FOR JUDGE
Aiiiiouiieen ItlH Determination to Defy
the Injunction Great Promiuro
to lie HroiiKht on Plum
Crock
PITTSBUnO , Aug. C. ntlgcnc V. Debs ,
who addmscd the largo miners' meeting on
the Duquesno wharf last night , left today ( or
Turtle Greek , where he speaks this evening ,
Before leaving the city Mr , Debs denounced
Judge Jackson of West Virginia for Issuing
the Injunction restraining him from Inter
fering In any way with the Monongah com
pany or Its employes , Mr. Ucbs said : "Tute
Injunction i restrains me from walking on any
of the public highways leading to the mlneu
of the Monongah Coal and Coke ; company.
It la most sweeping , and none other can be
compared to It , This Injunction annihilates
.bo tight of peaceable assemblage and ct-
dually suppresses free speech. If It Is
ustatncd , and I have no doubt It will be ,
sweeps away all constitutional safeguards
nd delivers us , bound hand and foot , to
orporate capital.
" 1 hold the Injunction and the Judge who
saued It In supreme contempt. If I have oc
casion to raise my voice In behalf -of the
'amlshlng ' miners In Jackson's Jurisdiction
propose to do so , or at least make the
ttcnipt. totally regardless of this Infamous
njunctlon.
"The farce of the proceeding Is that the
junction Is Issued by a Judge. It ought
0 come dlicct from the coal operators , so
lint at least hypocrisy would not intensify
he Infamy of the proceeding. "
In reference to the charge that the depu
tes now on guard at De Armltt'n mines
ere forcing ralnera to worl : at the point of
cvolvers , President Dolan stated that the
natter had been placed In the hands of their
.ttorney , and It was probable that the miners'
fllctals would go Into court and ask for at.
njunctlon restraining these deputies. Said
e : "They have no right to compel any
man to go to work , and we will not stand It.
have In my pocket the names of many of
.he men who were treated In this manner ,
) Ut prefer not to glvo them now for fear
.he men will suffer. " i
HNERS' WIVES DO MISSIONARY WORK.
The coal company discovered a now sort
f missionary work among Its employes
oday. Wives of many of the campers are
.n . the field now. They have been arriving
'or several days , until now there are about
wenty of tfct-m scattered about through thu
Mum , Sandy und Turtle Creek settlements.
The women are from McDonald , Carneslo
1 nil Wheeling division sections , and while
ho men are at work do missionary work
imong thplr wives. They have access to
ho workmen's houses , but the men are
'cnlcd this. Deputies arc stationed all
.long the property line with instructions
lot to allow a solitary man to pass Into
he house nir.ge. The campers claim that
.ho effect of the female missionary work
ivlll be apparent in a day or eo. Many of
ho Plum Creek men are expected to Join
he movement after pay day Monday. The
itrlkers say they would bo out now , but
> vant to get as much money as possible
ahead , so as to have something to fall back
on. Whether or not the strikers will be
able to get the Plum Creek men to stop
the mine there Is becoming a more serious
question than the strike leaders at first
bought. Unlike the other digging settle
ments , about all of the Plum Creek men
Ivo in company houses on the company's
and. The workmen do not have to leave
he Do Armitt property to get Into the
mines and strikers get no chance to stop
them on the road. The deputies do not
allow any one to got near the houses and
: ho workers and strikers are entirely with-
nit communication except by the women.
_ t no * seeme the Plum Creek elegc will
be a much longer and much harder battle
nan at any of the other mines.
Prices for coal moved up 10 cents a ton
elnco jcsterday ; , the assigned reason being
that the prospects are that the area of the
strike will expand and embrace the northern
and central Pennsylvania districts. Coal Is
< eing hoarded for possible futuie demands ,
when prices will be still higher. Killing
prices arc $1.10 for mine In barges and cars
at Plttsburg and 5 and 0 cents a bushel for
slack In the river.
MPORTRD MINERS PAIL TO ARTUVC.
The Imported miners expected to reach
Do Armltt's mlno from Virginia this
morning did not arrive. They are
ooded for , however , some tlino today or
omorrow. The strikers were on the watch
for them all night. The marchers continue
, make gains , as shown by the number of
men at work In the De Armltt mines. At
Sandy creek only three men are at work.
The camp Is thinning out and the men arc
going to the Plum Creek camp , because their
presence Is not needed at Sandy creek.
The mlno nt Sandy Creek Is absolutely
dead. At Plum Creek eighty men who
worked yesterday did not go Into the mine
this morning. The officials of the company
say It Is the custom of the men to lay off
the day before pay day , which Is tomorrow
The output of the three mines is as follows :
Plum creek , twenty-nlno cars , though the
strikers say only twenty-one ; Turtle Creek ,
three .cars ; Sandy Creek , two pit cars ,
Plum Creek camp was excited last night
by a riot In the railroaders' camp adjoining.
A number of shots were fired and three ne-
grors wore wounded , but not seriously.
Judge Semmons has not yet rendered his
decision In the riot and unlawful assemblage
cases.
MOVE ON WESTMORELAND.
The proposed campaign against the mine
owners of Westmoreland county and the
operators of central Pennsylvania , which haa
been delayed , U now an arsured fact. The
strike leaders decided on It definitely at
a camp conference today and a big move will
probably be made next Wednesday , The
whole affair will be considerably on the- or
der of the famous Coxey commonweal tour ,
as the committee on plane propose a direct
march through the whole territory where
mines arc being operated , until Clcarlleld
county Is reached. Camps will bo left at
each of the De Armltt mines , at Canons-
burg , at nunola and any other place that nuy
seem neccesary to Iteep the mines closed ,
The leaders estimate that with what will re
main behind In the camps at least 8,000 men
will be kept constantly In tjie movement !
" '
A military code" for the' government of
the army will bo formulated before the
movement Is started , President Dolan oaya
that with any kind of a system ho will he
able to keep everything quiet and the men
peaceable.
Efforts are being made to Introduce
whisky and beer at Camp Determination by
outsider * . This has bfeu going on for two
or three days now , nnd same of the strikers
have been taken down to cast Plttsburg and
filled up on all the brer they could drink.
The danger of this to the miners' cavee Is
fully reallzc-d by the labor leaders und a
sharp lookout Is being kept to find nut who
Is responsible for the efforts to get yie
strikers Intoxicated. Last ulght a barrel of
whisky was shipped to the camp from Brad-
dock. It had been paid for at the other
end and all of the charges hail also been
settled. Whin the uhliky w s delivered
Captain McKay ordered It taken back to
Itraddoctc as quickly as possible. It was
chipped back. The strikers do not know
who cent It.
CONTKACT FOR MINERS TO SIGN.
Toirorow will be pay day at Sandy Creek ,
and report tas It that In addition to the con
tracts signed the men will be asked to place
their ccmcs to a still stronger and appar
ently more binding ono before drawing their
envelopes. Those who do not see fit to sign.
It la said , will he then and there given the
privilege of resigning.
This evening Squire Stemmele rendered bla
decision In the riot and unlawful assemblage
cases . against Patrick 'Dolan and others. Ho

An Immense meeting , numbering fully
10,000 people , gathered around the strikers'

cast Plttsburg , numbering 1,200 , the striking

ATLANTA , Ga. , Aug. C. The strike of
1,400 operatives of the Fulton Dag and Cotton
mills against the employment of negro labor ,
which was supposed to have been settled
yesterday afternoon. Is on again today. A
verbal agreement was reached between the
strikers and President Elsas and It was ssld
the trouble had been adjusted. President
Eleas was willing to discharge the negro
woman , and It was not supposed any diffi
culty would bo encountered In agreeing \ipon
a written contract. When the contract
drawn up by the strikers'was presented to
Mr. Elsas he declined to' sign It and the
settlement was declared off , The cause of
the new disagreement is the demand of the
strikers that the mill not only withdraw the
negro women , who were the cause of the
strike , but all other negroes employed except
firemen nnd scrub women.

LONDON , Aug. C. The British govern
ment has Informed the American Ulmctalllc
commission that It will probably reply to
tht ) proposals of the commissioners on be
half of tno United States In October. The
commissioners have been awaiting In London
slnco their conference with the cabinet , and
desiring to know the exact position of Eng
land before opening negotiations with other
governments , they wrote yesterday to the
cabinet , Inquiring when they might expect
a decision , as they were anxious to arrange
their future program.
Today Senator Wolcott received a reply
from Sir Mlchaol-Hicko-Ilcach , In the course
of which the chancellor expressed a. fear that
the Urltlsh government was not yet In a
position to reply to the proposals of the
envoys of the United States and the French
ambassador on the question of an Interna
tional agreement.
Sir Michael Hlcks-Headi said : "It Is due
both to the Importance of the subject nnd
the manner In which It has been brought
before the English mlnlotry by the represent
atives of the two countrks that these pro
posals ehou4d bo very carefully examined
ami considered ; nnd this process must be
somewhat prolonged , owing to the time nec
essarily occupied In communicating- the
government of India. " The chancellor adds
hat he cannot say with certainty how long
bcsc communications will take , but he
hopes the cabinet will be ready to meet
he envoys again early In October.
While this postponement of Eingland's de
ls Ion delays the work , the American envoys
lo not consider It discouraging. On the con-
rary , they think Great Britain's Interest
n the question Justifies them In expecting
hat the Indian mints will be opened. They
believe that the TJmcs , In opposing the re-
ipculug of the Indian mints , does not reprc-
ent the government , but rather the city
financial circles , which are opposed to any
hange. The report made to the govern
ment from the mint Is understood to be
'avorablo to silver. The headquarters of the
commission will remain In London until Oc-
obcr. Senator Wolcott may visit Austria
n the meantime and pave the way for nego
tiations with the Austria government. The
commissioners do not wish to approach other
governments until England's attitude la set
tled , as Its participation In the movement
f secured , will aid In enlisting others. After
receiving the English reply they will go to
Austria , Germany and Russia In that or
der.

Western railroads generally , and trans-
ulssourl railroads particularly , have shown
ratifying cvldcnci-a of the return of pros-
icrlty In their financial reports of the past
ow months. Whatever good tidings there
may have been In the Increased earnings
icted therein there arc still more In the
lopcfut outlook for Immense traffic nntlcl-
atcd thrfe autumn. With thu piiBslng away
f the slim shadows of doubt cast by tbo In-
cnso heat and extremely dry weather of last
vcek has come certain belief that the rall-
oads of this soctlou of the country , cspo-
lally these of this tatc , will have an Im-
IICIIKC amount of business to transact within
few mouths.
General Managers Holdrege of the.B. & M.
ml DIckliiEon of UK ) Union Pacific , both of
I'honi watch agricultural conditions most
Iwcly , yesterday stated that there was no
jnestlon about the production of great crops
n Nebraska. For the past five days thdro
lias been a well distributed fall of molsturo
alt over the state. It has been of the kind
hat soaks through to the roots , while 'not '
ufllclcntly severe to drench out the ground
ami leave a deleterious effect.
Preparatory to the expected rush of trafllo
n grain thU fall all the railroads arc plac-
ng their freight equipment tn the best of
condition. This work has caused the work-
ncn of the B. & M. shops to have their tlmo
increased to six days of ten hours each , as
against five days of 'eight hours each , 'fllo
schedule the men had been working on since
893. Since July 1 the omployis of the Union
'aclftc shops In this city have been working
five ilajs of eight houis each , as against
tour days or the same length , the time they
vcrc employed throughout the winter montSts.
Already there Is talk of bhortoge of cars 'to '
iiaul the Immense crops of this state to mar
ket. It la certain that no railroad In Ne
braska will have any equipment to loan 'to '
other roads when harvest time rolls along.
INCREASE IN PRICES.
A still more authentic proof of the return
of prosperity than the utaured bigness of
this year's crops ts the fact that the pro
ducer will secure better prices for his crops
than ho did last year , or tn several post
years. There Is not only going to be plenty
of grain In Nebraska to sell this autumn ,
but there Is very apt to be a better Jingle
of prosperity In the pockets of the farmer
after he has disposed of his products. Ac
cording to the figures of the local elevator
companies about 20 cents more per bushel IB
being paid for wheat throughout Nebraska
than was paid one year ago. About 3 centa
more perbushcl Is being paid for corn than
a year ago. The prices being paid for new
oats range about the same as last year.
Edward P. Peek , secretary of the Omaha
Elevator company , said yesterday afternoon
that the agents of that company were offer
ing 55 , fJC , 57 and even 62 cents a bushel for
wheat at various points In the state , being
an Increase of about 20 cents against what
was offered a year ago. The Chicago market
quotations on wheat showed 58 % cents on
August 4 , 189G , and 78'/4 cents on August 4 ,
18D7. For corn the prices now being paid
throughout the state range from 14 cents to
17 centa per bushel , an average Increase of
about 3 cents. On August 4 , 180G , the Chicago
cage market quoted corn at 25 < cents Unll
on August 4 , 1897 , the quotation was 2K&
cents. For new oats the agents of the Omuha
Elevator company arc paying from 12 conlo
to 14 cents In this state , which Is about ( ho
same as was paid one year ago today.
