MADRID , Aug. 9. The assassination of
the prime minister of Spain , Senor Canovas
del Cai-tillo. who was shot and killed by
101 Italian anarchist , whose name is believed
to bei Mlchclo Anglno Golll , at the baths at
Santa Agutda yesterday afternoon , was un
doubtedly cold-blooded and premeditated.
Golll deliberately watched for an opportu
nity to kill the Spanish statesman , and he
only fired when he had no chance of miss
ing. In fact , the aesassln , who was ar
rested almost Immediately after the premier
fell dead , at the feet of hla wife , has de
clared as much to the examining magistrate.
The prime minister lingered for some time
in agony , and passed away with a cry of
"Long live Spain. "
Further details of the assassination show
that Senor Canovas del Castillo and his wife
were present yesterday morning at the cele
bration of mass in the chapel attached to
the baths. After mass tne premier was
reading and conversing with some reporters
when the assassin approached and fired three
shots at him with a revolver , hitting him
in the forehead , chest and left ear. The
wounded man fell to the ground , crying
"Assassin ! Long live Spain. "
The premier was carried to his room and
expired at 1:30 : p. m. after extreme unctloa
had been administered him by a priest of
the Dominican order. The murderer , who
was at oaee seized by the people who wcro
in the vicinity of the scene of the crime ,
was severely handled , and might have teen
killed bed It not been for the protection
afforded him by a number of clrll guards ,
who soon ran to the scene of the assassira-
tlon. The prisoner , who declared he hai
killed the premier "In the accomplishment
of a just vengeance , " at first gave the name
of Hinaldl , and claimed that the deed was
the outcome of an extensive anarchist crn-
eplracy. Later , however , the assapsln con
fessed that his real name was .Mldulo
Anglno Golll , that he was 2C years of age.
a native of Boggl , near Naples , and that
he left Italy and came lo Spain In 1S9G.
After reochlng Spain , Golll , according to his
confession , resided at Barcelona and par
ticipated in the doings of the various an
archist societies of that place and vicinity.
After sojourning at Barcelona for some Ume
Golll vlflted France and Belgium and re
turned to Spain In July last. After b's
return the anarchist seemed to have csra-
pleted the plans for the assassination of
the prime minister. He left Madrid for
Sauta Agutda at the same time as Senor
Canovae del Castillo and awaited an oppo--
tunlty to ctsatslnate the statesman.
DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSASSIN.
In appearance Golll Is of medium height ,
wears a full beard and cpectaclee , and his
demeanor is that ot a quiet , law-abldlns
cillren. He says he Is satisfied with bavins
done hl "duty" and asserts that he had no
personal grudge against the premier End wee
merely obeying orders received from his su
periors in the secret society to which h ?
belonged. He frankly profetses anarch's'
doctrine , says he was sentenced in 1S93 t-
elghte n mouths' imprisonment in the jail
at Luccra , Italy , and claims that he escaped
from there to Maree'.Icfi ' , from which part
he made his way to Barcelona.
Scnora Canovas , wife ot the premier , who
was but a short distance away from her
husband when the crime was committed ,
rushed to his aide upon hearing the shots.
As the premier lay dying on the ground she
bitterly reproached the murderer for his
crime. Golll. in reply to the agonizing
words of the distracted wife , said : "I re-
cpcct you because you are an honorable
Judy , but I have done my duty and 1 am
now easy In mind , for I have avenged iny
friends and brothers of Mont Julch. "
Mont Juich IB the fortress of Barcelona ,
outside of which the anarchists who have
been sentenced to death for recent outrcgco
have been executed by being shot In the
back' . The anarchists recently executed
outside Mont Julch were the last batch of
the flrnds who were guilty of throwing a
bomb on June 7 , 18 ! > G , In a religious proces
sion about to enter the church of Santa
Maria de la Mar , upon the occasion of the
Corpus Christl celebration. Twelve per
sons were instantly killed and about fifty
others , several of whom have since died
from their wounds , were injured. For
this crime twetity-rtx anarchists were bi-n-
tenccd to death , and many of them wen1
executed. The condemned men invariably
thouted "Long live anarchy" just before
the orders to fire were given.
The Spanish newspapers express great iu-
dlgnatlon at GolU'a crime. Even the jour
nals that have re-publican leanings praUe
the service of the deceased titate-sman. The
Jraparclul eaye : "Yesterday will prove a
dark date for Spain. The crime will cen
tuple the Indignation of roriety agalnet this
. " A number of the
would-be destroyer. oewe-
fiapers appear this morning bordered In
black. A post-mortem examination of the
remains of the premier was made this morning -
ing prior to cmbalmlns them for transpor
tation to this city. The funeral will be most
impmnlve. The indignation expressed at
the crime Is shared by air parties lu poll-
tire and It is generally believed that the
members of the colonial secret societies were
concerned In the outrage ,
It is reported that Senor Apldal , president
of the Chamber of Deputies , will be ap
pointed president of the council of ministers
in succession to the late premier at the ex
piration of the official nine days' mourning.
The ministers for the present will meet In
council daily. Golll developed In the ex
amination before the magistrate today that
he succeeded In firing two fchou at the pe ople
who arrested him before he w t overpowered.
The assassin calls himself a "revolutionary
anarchist. "
Senor Sllvela. the leader of the dissident
conservatives , has followed the example of [
Eenor Sagasta , the liberal leader , Marshal I
Martinez de C&mpoa and others in tendering
their condolence to the government , while
placing their cervices at the disposal of the
xalrHstere.
The cabinet rat until S o'clock thli mornIng -
Ing end decided to publlrh in the official j
? azette today , which will appear with i ,
tlaik border Ihe appointment of Lieutenant I
General de M&rcolo de Azcarraga , the mln-
Uer | for war , at premier ad IntelItn. Renal

ever , not return he-e from Sin Frbaftl&u. tin

All individual who Wtt heird to
sympathy with the arcarr.ln of the premier
and with hlf c'lme h s been arrested.
Considerable activity wai displayed today
amemg the republicans , who seem to believe
tbit their opportunity has arrived. The
government Is taking extreme precaution
to preserve order in Madrid and the
province * . It Is reported In some quarters
this afternoon that Stnor Fldal. the presi
dent of the Chamber of Deputies , will be
charged to form an Intermediate ministry.
It epppar * thl evening that Golll. the a -
taanln reprecented himself as a correspond
ent of El I'opulo. The prisoner cannot be
tried under the law * providing for the trial
and punlihment of anarchists , as th's law Is
so fiamed that a person prceecuted under lu
prori lnnt mrat hive used or attempted to
UAP explo lvra In the cornmitskm or attempt
to commit the crime charged acairet him.
However , there Is no de/ubt Golll will be
summarily tried nd sentenced.
The public d-minds the adoption of strin
gent tntJKurtff agalna * anarchists and also
against thcee who are In eympathy with
them.
Golll has confessed that he killed Senor
Canovas to avenge the Barcelona anarchists
and the Insurgent leader. Don Josp Rlzal.
who was executed at Manila , Philippine
Islands , on December 30 Utt ae the Insti
gator of the Philippine rebellion. Dr. Ulzal
denied that he was a rebel leader , but
admitted that he had drawn up the statutes
of the Philippine league.
In Colll's room the police found today a
large double-barreled pistol. It appear *
that when he left the house yesterday he
cetrled a parcel , which Is believed to have
contained a bomb. The theory Is that he
hid this somewhere In the'fields.
A dispatch from Barcelona says that Golll
arrived there In December , 1S95. coming from
Marseilles. He was employed In the print
ing office of the Review Sacall Science , man
aged by the anarchist engineer , Tarrlda
Marmel , formerly imprisoned In Mont Julch
fortress at Barcelona. Gall ! was Implicated
In the tsrrlble crime of the celebration of
Corpus Chrlstl , although he left Barcelona
a few days before it occurred. He was de
nounced to the police for complicity but
he had already disappeared.
SAGASTA ON THE SITUATION.
In the course of an interview this after
noon Senor Sagasta. the liberal leader , eald :
"The country's politics must not depend upon
an assassin. The conservatives ought to
remain In power under the guidance of men
like Marshal Campos. Senor Pldal and Senor
Elduayen , Nevertheless , if the queen regent
appeals to the liberals they are ready to re
spond. "
The funeral of Senor Canovas will take
place probably on Thursday. Meanwhile the
remains will lie here in state. The Spanish
newspapers , without regard to difference of
political opinion , express their horror and
Indignation at the crime and their satisfac
tion that the assassin Is not a Spaniard.
There Is a great deal of speculation as to
the effect of the loss of Canovas upon the
conservative party. General Azcarraga has
acquired great -popularity and prestige
through his skill in organizing the coun
try's resources for the Cuban and Philippine
campaigns and he may be able to keep the
party together.
The minister for foreign affairs. M. Hano-
tattx , hcs telegraphed the condolercs of the
French government to the queen regent and
to the government of Spain , expressing the
Indignation felt In France at the crime just
committed and referring to the sympathy h
this matter of the French people with Spain
All the French newspapers deplore the crime
and the socialist organs , while reprobating
the atsasslnatlon of the Spanish premier , te
fer to the severity exercised by Canovns to
ward the anarchists , intimating that such
action upon his part pointed him out for an
attack.
BARCELONA , Aug. 9. Golli , the assassin
of Senor Canovas del Castillo , was known
here under the name of Achlllolll. HP for
nicrly worked as a compositor and was also
known under the alias of Jooe E. Sonto.
He was classed as a mllltint anarchist ani3
was an intimate friend of Ascberl. the per
petrator of the outrage in the Calle de Cam-
bros. Golll fled from Barcelona after the
outrage referred to.
MALAGA , Aug. P. Old Inhabitants of till *
city relate that when Canovas del Cat'lll'
was a young assistant master at a school
here a gypsy woman told his fortune. She
predicted that he would become great ant1
would meet with a violent death.
Th < > newspapers cf this city , in comment
ing on the crime , bay that , though the an
archists have no country , it is dreadful to
contemplRte that the last two murders of
eminent men. that of President Carnet of
France and of Premier Canovcs del Castillo ,
were the work of Italians.

LONDON , Aug. it. The afternoon news
papers In their comment upon the atea-
tiou of the Spanish prime minister express
themselves on the same lines a ? the morning
papers , remarking upon the incomprehensi
ble Idiocy of the murder of the man who ws
mainly responsible for giving universal suf
frage to Spain , They also advocate the sup
pression of anarchy by force , pointing out
tbit the history of nihilism in Russia prove ,
that force consistently and steadily applied
Is the remedy for clearing out the pestilent
gang. The St. James Gazette regards th
death of Senor Cflmvjt ; del Castillo as blng
a heavy disaster for Spain , adding : "Cano
vas was not great , but be was a statesman.
During the Cuban crisis be governed with
energy , and if he had been a very
great man be might hive told
his countrymen that they must alter tte r
ways of dealing with the colonies or be
prepared for evil times. But the Spaniards
would hardly listen to such a Iwtcn even
from the tongue of an ungel. May.be , tf he
hud the choice , CanovaB would have pre
ferred the martyrdom which has overtaken
him rather than to have lived to tee the
t-Dllapsc which Is only more threatening tr >
Spain. In the meantime the murder will
destroy the already unstable edminSfctration
and m the pick of a succefsoi of the late
premier thp queen regent's pcsltlan U most
difficult. She may be driven to call upon
some soldier , Campos or Polavle-ja. which
would be a misfortune to Spain abroad The
crime mart have one consequence to make
the ka'ser and his brother sovereigns Us-
deposed to adopt gtntle method with socl&l-
Ism. "
Foreign comment upon the assassination 1 ?
less occupied with the political than with
the anarchist aspects of the case. The press
of all countries gives vent to the strongest
denunciation of the crime and advocates
( tern measures against anarchists , Some of
the French socialist newspapers Indulge in
a. rather heartless vein , For Instance , La
Petite Republlque says : "He who striken
shall himself be struck. The history of the
Canovas ministry U written in blood. He
revived antique barbarism , so deserved his
fate. " This , however. Is exceptionally cyn
ical. All the respectable journals express
sympithy.
La Pa trie declare : that all plots of such
murders have been arranged In London and
suggest * that the powers should combine
to watch the country that protect * the crim
inals ,
Without going to far as this many Ger
man and other papers advocate combined
European action to suppress anarchism.
The Yi'nna papers take a pessimistic view
as to the effects of the crime on Spanish
politics
The Italian prefs beapr execration upon
the miscreant who tae put o shame and
disgrace the Italian name an.1 nation ,
The Dally News , commenting editorially
this morning on the "official fatuity nt al-
lowing a notorious anarchist to travel with
Canovas. " It adds : "All talk about the In
dependence of Cuba or about a Spanish re
public is obviously beside the mark. "

TOPEKA , Kan. , Aug. 9. The long threat
ened clash between the United States courts
and. the authorities of the state of- Kansas
came today when Attorney General Boyle ,
acting upon the advise and with the con
currence of the entire slate administration ,
took action In the state courts in open de
fiance of the federal authorities. This action
today Is the outcome of an Injunction Is-
cutd on July 2 ! ) last by United States Dis
trict Judge John A. Williams of Arkansas
at Colorado Springs , Colo. , by which he
positively enjoined State Insurance Commis
sioner Web McXall and Attorney General
Boyle of Kansas from bringing any pro
ceedings whatever under the state laws to
prevent the Mutual Life Insurance- company
from doing business In Kansas.
The Injunction of Judge Williams was
Bwteplng In Its cfiect and amounted , accord
ing to Governor Leedy , Attorney General
Boy > and Commissioner McNall , to a prac
tical annulment of the criminal law of Kan-
cias. under which the Insurance company In
volved had been barred from transacting
business In Kansas. Not only this , but the
Kansas authorities maintained that the In
junction of Judge Williams was In violation
of the constitution of the United States In
that it prevented the state from enacting
and carrying out Its own laws , end also in
contravention of decisions of the United
States courts.
DEFIES THE INJUNCTION.
Acting upon this belief Attorney General
Boyle today went before the state court ,
bringing proceedings In quo warranto against
the Mutual Life Insurance company to com
pel that corporation to appear before the
state supreme court and show by whit au
thority It is transacting business in the
ttate of Kansas. Attorney General Boyle
having done "precisely what the Injunction of
Judge Williams forbade him from doing , the
presumption Is that the rederal Judge will
cause his arrest and Imprisonment for con
tempt. In this event application for a writ
of habeas corpus will be made at once to
the United States supreme court , and in such
a proceeding the attorney general would
have the support of the entire state admin
istration. Governor Leedy has declared that
the Usue has been made and the matter must
be fought to a termination.
The application filed by the attorney gen
eral today simply states that the Mutual
Life Insurance company , a corporation of
the state of New York , not licensed to trans
act business in the state of Kansas , is doing
business In the state in violation of the laws
of Kansas. No mention is made in the ap
plication to the Injunction of the federal
Judge.
COMPANY IGNORES STATE COURTS.
KANSAS CITY. Mo. , Aug. 9. The Times
tomorrow morning will print an interview
with Attorney-General Boyle of Kansas BE
to the Issue raised between the Kansas au
thorities and the federal courts. The at
torney-general states that he has no desire
to defy anyone , but that he is simply acting
according to his duty under the laws of Kan-
s. He explains that the state laws are
plain that no foreign Insurance company
shall do business In the state without a
license from the superintendent of Insurance.
The Mutual Life , he says , has no such
license , though Its general agent , Mr. Lord ,
continues to solicit business. The attorney-
general adds that if the Insurance commis
sioner is illegally withholding a license from
that company the courts of the state are
open to the company to compel the commis
sioner to grant such a license and he addp
that the corporation hps seen fit towholly
Ignore the state courts , and continues to do
business In violation of the law.
Continuing , ( Attorney-General Boyle says-
"This Is a positive defiance of our state laws.
It cannot be possible that Judge Williams
means by his order that he 'will restrain an
executive officer of a sovereign state from
doing his plain duty. If a .federal Judge of
Arkansas , while taking his baths at a sum
mer resort in Colorado can suspend for a
limited ilmc the operation of any portion of
the laws of the state of Kansas , then a
federal judge , no matter where he may be.
can stop the whole machinery of our state
government , appoint a receiver and act as
general dictator of state affairs. If this
order , with its sweeping Intent , can stand , it
Is simply revolutionary.
"I have no desire to precipitate a clash
between the federal and local courts , but it
te of vital importance that the people
should know definitely whether a state has
any rights that a federal Judge must respect.
If we have no such rights , then state gov
ernment is a useless expense. "
Attorney-General Boyle complains partlcu-
larljof the fact that Judge Williams' In
junction WES granted without notice to the
state authorities.

The guards , five In number , headed by

after nineteen negroes were placed In

LONDON , Aug. 9. Commenting on the in
terview of the New York W'orld with Secre
tary Sherman , the St. James Gazette this
afternoon says : . "Secretary Sherman's utter
ances afford no material-for denial by hie
friends of jthe statement thai he is suffering
from senile decay ? But , tffer all , , Mr.-Sher
man represents America , atjd we are certain
all international courtesies willto cbserwtdv , * . '
Continuing , the St. Jatae's 'Gazette refers to
the Kalnoky incident , audl says : ' "Austria
properly severed diplomatic relations with
Great Britain and Mr. Gladstone ajjoMglzed
for his attack on the dual ; monarchy , " and
asks why there IE one law in Europe and an
other in America. In conclusion the St.
James Gazette repeats its recent warning
that this Is a dangerous line of policy to
follow and that same day "Great Britain
may call upon Washington * to back up its
bluff. "
The Westminster Gazette , referring to the
same matter remarks : "The Interview is
a fruity example of Sherman's raloon style. "
The Globs pays on th,3 ! subject : "Secretary
Shcrmsn had better rid himself of the idea
that Uncle Sam Is going to boas ihe show ,
either on the gold fields ) or" In the fishsrlev.
We are not ready to follow every quarrel
with blows , but when -We etrlke we Ptrlkc
hard , and the Idea of our being afraid of a
third-rate naval power like the United Sates ;
could only have occurred to a lunatic or * to
Mr. Sherman. Judging from his latest per
formances we may chirltably assume that
the rumors that Mr. Sherman is pufferlng
from mental disturbances ere correct. ' "
The utterances attributed to Stc'etary
Shcnran upon which the 'comment ' of the
London papers Is base-d were 03 followt :
"England IE a great country , but It ! s not
always safe to assume that she is ready to
follow up every quarrel * wlth blows. Slie
quarrels oftener than she lights. It would
be exceedingly difficult for her to fight us
all alone about our seal catching. Rureia
and Japin are in a Eimilar ositian , and any
quarrel between the United- States and Eng
land on this score would 1n all probability
Involve those other two countries. "

Morgan Is secretary of the national organlza-

I Stelnbcrger 1 * a member of the executive
j Board , and the purpose of their visit Is to
i prevent a fusion between the populists and
I

j ] I In reply to a question as to what tit-lion
. the Btate convention would take , Mr. Mor-
| pan eald : "I cannot say : 1 have not be'cn On
] the ground long enough to learn. Through
with populists
i i correspondence prominent
j throughout the state and judging from
I resolutions passed by some of the county
, conventions I presume an effort will be made
, to Indorse the democratic state ticket , though
I why and to what end I am at a loss to con
jecture. "
"Would such action be in line with that
of the Nashville conference and would It
meet with the approval ot the national or
ganization committee ? "
"It would not be In line with anything that
Is popullstlc ; It would be antagonistic to the
1 action of the Nashville conference and would _
be opposed with all the power which the na
tional organization committee could com
mand. The object of the national organiza
tion committee is to prevent fusion and pre
serve the party. This is the first effort of
any magnitude toward fusion since the na
tional conference and may therefore be con
sidered of national Importance. "
Populist leaders already on the ground
assert the non-fusion Ists will have two-thirds
of the delegates to the state convention.

LOUISVILLE , Aug. St. The republicans of
Kentucky will r.ssemble in this city at Music
hall tomorrow afternoon In state convention
to adopt a platform and nominate a candi
date for clerk of the court of appeals. There
will be a full representation of all the
counties , with the possible exception of some
of those In the eastern part of the state.
The members of the republican state central
committee assembled at the Gait house this
afternoon and selected United States Senator
W. J. Deboe of Marlon county for temporary
chairman. It is the general impression that
George J. Denny of Lexington will be se
lected by the convention for the permanent
chairmanship. The opinion among the leadIng -
Ing delegates tonight is that the convention
will bs entirely harmonious. In some quar
ters the feeling seems to prevail that the old
fight between the Bradley and Hunter-Todd
factions would Be re-opened on the floor of
the convention , but the leaders are sanguine
that Ujey will be able , to bridge it over.
_ Cb.airm.an Barnett of he"sta'le central com
mittee. liTan Interview today , eald : "I be-1
Heve that the -prospects for victory by the
republicans this year are much better than
last year. We are going to make a good
fight and the vote will be heavy. "
When asked whether the convention would
make any special Indorsement of the Bradley
administration Mr. Barnett replied that there
would be an indorsement of the national
administration and incidentally the Kentucky
administration would come in for a share.
The platform , he said , would emphatically
condemn mob law and civil service and
prosperity would be touched upon.

KANSAS CITY , Aug. S. Bishop Fink of
the Roman Catholic diocese of Leavenwortb
and Kansas City , Kan. , bad read in all of
the parishes of the diocese yesterday a let
ter .forbidding the members of the Catholic
church from attending the Irish-American
picnic to be held In Kansas City , Kan. ,
next Sunday. The letter came as a com
plete surprise to those who have the ar
rangements for the picnic in charge and was
the one topic of conversation in Irish-
American circles yesterday. Bishop Fink
gave as his reason for placing a ban on the
picnic that Sunday v.-as a holy day on
which all Catholics were obliged to do their
duty toward the church and God. and that a
public picnic was not a fit observance of
the day. He cald also that holding a picnic
on the sabbath was in direct violation of
the laws of the Catholic church , and any
one taking part in such a celebration on
that day wao guilty of an offense In the
sight of God.
Edmond Lynch , president of the United
Irish societies , states that the picnic would
be held , nothwlthstanding Bishop Fink's
letter.

PITTSBURG. Aug. 9. On the success cr
failure of the bituminous coal miners' strike
depends the inception of a movement by the
anthracite mincrt for higher wage-s and bet
ter conditions. District President Patrick
Dolan and the other officials of the United
Mine Workers' organization have received
several letters within the past few days
from different parts of the Pennsylvania an
thracite coal region asking for information
on the outlook for the big strike , and
wanting to know wh&t assutance of vlrtory
they have. If the bituminous miners win
the anthracite diggers think they would have
an equal chance of cecuilng an advance in
wages. If the-pre tent strike Is lost the
attempt for an advance will not be made In
the anthracite region. The anth ac te rnlneri
are poorly organized. At one time their
union was strong , but dl aFtrous strikes , in
which the men were beatrn. resulted In a
gradual shrinkage In the union. The United
Mine Workers' officials have cent cheerful
news In response to the request for an opin
ion on the outcome of their etrlke. The In
tention of the anthracite miners Is to get
together as many of their fellow-workmen ui
possible before any dtmsnd for higher wages
is made , and , looking to this end , organizers
will begin work at once.
STRIKERS DEPRIVED OF THEIR PAY.
All the miners of the New York and Cleve
land Gas Coal company who are still at
work were paid today , but those who struck
did not receive any money , the company
Insisting upou the terms of the contract by
which the men agreed to forfeit all money
due them in case they refu-ed to work.
All the miners who can give a reasonable
excure for attending any of the meetings
will be paid. The company liar the names
of all the men who have been at these meet
ings and took part in any of the demonstra
tions. Unless they can give a satisfactory
explanation they will get no money. The
strikers say the men have promised to quit
work as soon as they get their pay , but
Superintendent Samuel De Arinltt says the
strikers will not take a man out ot Plum
Creek mine , except twenty-nine , who will be
discharged. Owiug/to the-careletsneiE of trie
guard about the Sandy Creek mine forty
men went into the mine at 5 o'clock thla
morning and are now at work. Last week
there were but three men at work and only
three cars of coal were mined. Some of the
details for the march on the mines in West
moreland county and central Pennsylvania
have been arranged. It will probably he
made Tuesday , but not later than Wednes
day. It is expected to take a email army of
men from the Plttsburg district and march
to the mil es that are in operation. Several
brafcs bands have been engaged and It Is
hoped to make a successful campaign. Word
was received last night teat many of the
men who are at work are anxious for the
appearance of the marchns. BE it will give
them a subterfuge for quitting work.
Cameron Miller said that , us far as the New
York and Cleveland mines arc concerned , the
situation was very g atlfymg. He Intimated
that the mines will not bo neglected on ac
count of the campaign started In Westmore
land county. He raid there would be enough
men left at the throe milieu to guard them
and fee to U that they are kept Idle.
HE TALKS TOO MUCH.
Nowaskl , the Conncllrvllle agitator , who
addressed the meeting lest night in four
languages was expelled from the camp and
ordered to stay away for using profane lan
guage in his speech. William Brlscal , a day
man nt Plum Crce > k , was riding hlu bicycle
last night when he WSK assaulted by four
of the strikers and badly Injured. His wheel
was broken and he will lit- laid up for sev
eral weeks. The etrlke IE he'glnnlng to cause
hunger among the miners' families along the
Wheeling division and in the Panhandle dis
trict. At the mines where the company's
stores have been in operation , the destitu
tion IB more marked. In most instances the
store * were close.d up shortly after the strike
began and the miners have no place now
where their credit is good. The male mem
bers of the miners' families are- living better
in the rinnpb than the women and smaller
children are at home.
The application for an Injunction to re
strain the miners from congregating near
the mines of the New York aud Cleveland
GUB Coal company , which w-s to have been
filed In the United State * court today on
behalf of the non-resident stockholders of
the company , had not been presented to
the court up to the adjournment at noon.
Judge Acht-nn 1ms gone to hit , home in
Washington e-ounty and it is not likely that
the bill will now be filed before tomorrow.
DEMANDS FOlt FOOD.
Appeals for food and provisions were nu
merous at thp headquarters of the miners'
official * ; In the city today. It appeared as
if there was a demand from every section
of the district and in inert ; In person were
pretcnt to ask that the Buffering bo looked
after. Secretary Warner was kept busy ar
ranging the appcah > . He eald tonight that
be bad sent more than Si.000 worth of gro
ceries and provision * into various parts of
the dlsttlct. The appeals are now coming In
from the families , the beads of which are at
the * various mining camps using their Influ
ence to keep other men from worklpg. A
series of meetings Is to be held all ovtr
the district. It Is expected to kiep the In
terest in every section and strengthen every
point where there is the leabt Indication ot
weakness. The vigils on the mlnt of the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company
are to be kept up and the vigor Increased
from day to day. The following was Itsued
by President Patrick Dolun aud Secretary
Warner today :
There will be a maps meeting of all the
miners at Canonnhurjr Wednewlay , Anguxt
11 , at 10 a. m. All rnlncrti of the uhove
named places wi'I rail rnettlnci and prepare
to go. The meeting will IIP Hidret-sed by the

others will make addresses , The march ii
to be from Turtle Crrek. There -will be a

The strikers desire to a\valen : an Interest
