riTTSDCUG , Pa. , Aug. 2. The striking
miners ha\o broken all records , both aa to
numbem attending their mass mectlngH ami
tlic excellent order and law-abiding behavior
they have exhibited , Too much praise can-
liot ba given to the control of the leaders
. who , prontlng by former experience , have
eo forcibly Instilled Into the minds of their
followers the stupidity of law-breaking that
the peaceful attitude and actions of the
strikers have been a source of wonder to all
the prophets , \vho have from day to day
predicted dlro happenings. The mass meet'
Ing o * miners at the McCrca school house
today was the greatest during the strike
nr.il ptobably the largest gathering of the
Id ml ever seen In Allegheny county. More
than 5,000 striking fnlncrs were gathered
for an all-day hcsalon , and labor leaders
harangued them In various tongues , while
bands of music t rvcd to stir up the en
thusiasm to thii highest pitch. Thcroaa a
rumor In the camp that Sheriff Har\ey A.
Loivry would appear with deputies and force
the meeting to disperse , hut It was evidently
unfounded. The crowd was oidcrly all day.
It was announced that but twenty-nine
men \\cro at work today In the Plum Creek
mines , while only two or three were In the
Sandy Creek mine. The policy of the miners
Is to form camps at these mines as well
as at Oak Hill and maintain a largo party
rl on guard. President Dolan announced that
ho could get land from private parties on
which to pitch lilf camps.
A large number of men who attended the
meetings were nearly dead from hunger.
Seine of them had eaten nothing since 4
o'clock yesterday , and the commissary
wagon had not jet arrived when the meeting
was o\cr. It was not until nearly 2 o clock
that the wagon carrying the provisions got
to the camp , and when It arrived there
vvao a mad rush for bread which would put
to shame any foot ball rush ever seen on the
local gridiron. After the meeting was over
and the men had satisfied their appetites ,
they went back to their camp at Turtle
Creek In an orderly manner , where they
rested and made preparations for tomor
row.
TWO NEW CAMPS.
T'vo new camps wire Instituted this after
noon after the meeting. The one at Plum
Creek will bo known as "Camp Kcolstance ; "
the one at Sandy Creek will be called "Cami :
Isolation. " Each camp In the besieged dis
trict will bo kept constantly supplied will
guards. Headquarters , as beretofoic , wll !
bo at "Camp Determination" at Turtle
Creek.
The force of deputies was kept busy dur
ing the entire night. Every mo\e was
watched and trouble seemed to be In the
air. The condition can be said to be critical ,
Both sides feel that there is a ci It-Is near ui
liand. The olllclals of the Now Voi It all' '
Cleveland Gas Coal company gave out the
I

school house and Invite Iho Plum Creek
mlner.i there to attend. When the marchers
reached the place they found that a fence
had been erected around the school property
and noIces posted that no trespassing would
bo allowed. This move engendered consid
erable Ill-feeling. as the school house grounds
were the only public place In the vicinity
of the * mines vvture a meeting could be held.
The leaders of the marchers said they would

FAIRMONT , W. Va. , Aug. 2. One by one
additions are being made to the number of
strikers In the Fairmont district under the
effort * ) of Joseph W. Rea and one arslstant.
nievcn hundred and thirty men are now with
the strikers , while almost three times that
number are still at work. It Is thought th's
will not be the case a week hence. Rea's
work among the miners Is proving very suc
cessful. The secret of the general strike ,
however , should there bo one. Is that the
operators are getting no contract. ? of over
ten da > a' duration. The men say there lane
no permanent benefit for them , so they will
join the strikers.

KANSAS CITY , Aug. 2. A Star special
from Plttsburg , Kan. , tays : Notices were
nested today at the different mines In this
district calling for a mass meeting of miners
to be held Jn this city tomorrow. The
powder question , CO cents per ton for mine
run In every mine In the district. Is also
being agitated. The miners at Wear Coal
company shaft No. 5 , It seems , arc in a
qmndary because of the feet that the local
agltatoia who caused the suspension of work
Saturday have deserted them. They arc out
today , however , and It Is thought will not
go back until after tomorrow's meeting.

of black smoke poured from numerous stacks ,
whistles were blown long and loud , but the

LONDON , Aug 2 , Themarqub of Saltj-
bury , repljlng In the House of Lorda today
to the liberal leader , th ? earl of Klmberly ,
who questioned the government as to the
i-tate of peace negotiations between Turkey
and Greece , outlined the status of the Ccti-
Ltintln plo exchanges of views , occasionally
referring to them In saicastle tonea.
llu premier sail It wart no wonder that
the patience of any peoplewaa sorely tried
by the dcliy. The complexity and multi
plicity of the negotiations , might , however ,
account for their length. Lord Sallsbuiy
explained that the pjaco the powers were tryIng -
Ing to arrange waa no ordinary agreement.
The territory conquered by the Turkish army
was one assigned to Greece by International
agicement , and therefore the powers' voles
In regard to its disposal was. recognized by
the sulUo. The latter was right In dcmind-
Ing security agaliut incursions such as these
which brought about the present war , and
for that purpose rectification of the frontier
on a strategic basis \\as a reasonable de
mand. It was also re.ioon.iblo to hold tint
the Greek communities should not bo placed
under Turkish rule. The premier asserted
that her majesty's minsters believe 1 Ihosc
questlois had becci sqttled and that Turkey
had accepted the frontier line traced by the
military attaches of the embasate'j of llic
powers , though the premier shared Lrd
KImbcrly's doubts.
Speaking of the indemnity to be paid to
Tuikey by Greece , the prerdler said : "There

The crowd that' gathered nt the rooms of
the Hoard of Fire and Police Commissioners
last night with the expectation of witnessing
j the making of a new chief of police waa
again disappointed. All members ot the
board were present , but moat of the session
was hold behind the closed doors of the pri
vate room. Chief Slgwart was called In a
number of times , exciting the curiosity ot the
spectators , but when the meeting adjounied
It was announced that no final action had
been taken In the chief of police matter.
The leslgnatlon of Chief Slgwart , demanded
bv resolution adopted at the last board meetIng -
Ing , was not produced , but In Its Blend was n
communication from the chief , declaring that
I after consideration of tlie demand , he hud
decided that ho could not comply with It.
The answer of the Irani to this pronuncla-
mento was a resolution directing the ma } or
t and city attorney to formulaic and file
charges against Chief Elgwait , to be taken
up at the next meeting of the board next
Thursday. Under the luley of the board the
officer against whom charges are preferred
las a right to a week's notice before the hear
ing , so that final action cannot be had
a7ilnst the opposition of Chief Slgwart until
a week fiom Thursday next.
The following resolution was passed-

Yesterday the police had under arrest
fewer men suspeeted of the robberies com-
mltt'd la this , city on Sunday than they had
Sunday night. Sunday Graeidon and Me-
Govern were in jail , but yesterday
the latter was discharged. Grandon
will also be released , as the police admit
that the } have no giounds far holding him.
No other arrcsta have been made.
Although the cnly thing against the pris
oner. ' was that they were on the streets In
tlie' vicinity of the saloon when Haidtvaj
robbed , the police made 1an excellent bluff In
the premises. They guarded the men ns If
they were murderers. A friend of McGovern
called to see the latter and met with a de
cided frcst.
"You can't see the man until we investi
gate the charge against him , " was the gruff
rchponse ne received.
The v.sltor's object was to see McGovern
on the mi'ter of securing ball for him and
Pisa to Kfcure authorization from him to
transact his business. McGovern Is secre
tary of the Omaha Typogiaphlcal union and
while he was In jail could not transact some
bUiilness that was of Importance.
The Investigation was a decidedly shod
one. A half hour later McGovern was calico
Into police court and Chief of Detectlvet-
Hemming told the court that there \\ai
nothing In the charge agMnst him. McGDV-
crn was theiefote discharged.
llo police also fell down In another direc
tion. They appeared determined to cinch
come cne. If not the robbers , for the trouble
that was given them. They therefore Sunday
night arrested Haidt , the man who was
robbed and beaten when he made a rcpoit
of the oe-curience to the police. Ho was
chaiged with drunkenness , but tlie case was
dismissed. The police did not go to the
trouble of explaining the clrcumotances to
the coart except to say that Haidt was In
toxicated and Judge Gordon did not know
that Haidt was the man robbed until after
he had discharged him.
