July S The clcve of the third day of the miners' strike finds the dig gers Riming ftrensth rapidly In the Pitts- burg district , elating the official * and men correspondingly. The net reault of the strug gle up to date , as gleaned from unbiased as well a from partisan source * . Is about as follows : Nineteen thousand men are idle ; an almost total suspension of work In the mines along th Monongahela river ; suhpcnslon practically total on the Wheeling division of the Haiti- more & Ohio railroad , only about fifty men working there , all of the railroad mlnffl closed down with the exception of the M A. Hanna & Co mines along the Panhandle , the New York and Cleveland G a a Coal company and n few Individual mlnet > . which can have but little effect upon the situation. The Hanna minis have about one-third of their Usual number of mcti at work and this slight Increase over vcsterday appears to be the on ! ) advantage the operators have gained. The coming out of the men along the Haiti- more & Ohio \e \ a ditidod victor ) fer the miners , because thtfrc men were working under an Ironclad agreement , and by their loyalty to their brethren forfeit $ S,000 in wages which the- company holds out. The situation ab to the supply of coal can not be called serious as yet , because there are from twelve to fifteen million ) of bushels In stock at the various pools pjong the river whlth can be placed In this tlty at short notice , and If need bo a portion of ft could be shipped to the lakes I'p to the piesont time no sign of lawlcfs- nts-j has developed among the strlkeio and no evidence whatever that tht-re will be Tomorrow- promises to be a day of decided action on the part of the miners. H Is re ported that a meeting has been FtludtiUd between President Hatchford of the Mine Workers' association and President Gompe'B of the Federation of Labor in this city , and th" miners' olllclal announced that a BJS- Umatlc movement will be started to bring out the diggers now at work for the New York and Cleveland Coal company. The meeting between Itatchford and Gompers will bo important , as plans foi carrying on the strike to ultimate success i are to be discussed It Is claimed that one ' of the principal topics will be a scheme to raise funds from which It la proposed to ' pay all the miners that are now working I full time , in order to Induce them to make the tie up complete. It is said that Presi dent Gompers will offer to raise a fund of $00.000 per week to assist the strikers In their struggle I The miners' officials are likely to meet with a serious stumbling block In their efforts to induce the miners of the New- York and Cleveland Gas Coal compan ) to join In < he movement , notwithstanding their confident insertion that these men will be out before Sunday night ne\t. A visit to the Jiiines today discloses the fact that a large number of the men aie opposed to striking at this time , because of their con tract agreement. The officials of the com pany say the men have given positive as surances that they will remain and they are In no wise alarmed over the claim of the miners' leaders that they will have the men out before the week closes WIIKHLING DISTRICT IN LINE. It Is safe to say that the amount of coal dug today on the Wheeling divlMon of the Haltlmore & Ohio railroad would not fill one fiat car Such a complete shutdown as exists In this district PO soon after the inauguration of the btnke la admittedly a surprise to the people living In that section. A number of miners were at work ) oterday. the majority of them In the pits of the Plttf'uirg & Chicago cage Gs Coal company at Snow den and Gas- onville. but today It is doubtful if the dig gers at work along the whole line would number fifty , all of theo at the Gastonville pit of the Pittsburg & Chicago company.

The big first pool min ? of the Rob bing company was alt-o completely closed There was a doubt as to whether or not the Slav : ) would return to work aftPr their holi day Tuesday , but this baa been dispelled and the foieigners seem as enthusiastic as any on the strike question. Miners on Iho line have been anxiously watching the diggers of the Pittsburg < t Chicago company at Gastonville and Snow- den Up to today U was a matter of doubt whether or not they would como out These men have all been working under the iron clad agreement , and as this meant a forfeiture - feituro of 10 per cent of their wages held back since the first of the .vear by the firm If they voluntarily quit work , the strikers were in doubt as to whether they could be induced to Join the movement At n meetIng - Ing held lost night , however.
