riTTSBURO. Aug. 22. Religious services
were held In the strikers' several camps .
today and all were largely attended , but
notwithstanding the religious air pervading
the camps , a conflict between workers and
strikers took place In the afternoon , during
which three strikers were badly hurt , but
none arc In a serious condition. Five ot
the men who arc working for the Now York
and Cleveland Gas Coal company this after
noon went to William Eamon's hoarding
house , about one-half mile from Oak Hill
tipple , where n number ot strikers are
quartered , for the purpose of persuading the
strikers to go to work. The meeting
was a , stormy one and resulted In Antonio
Podasky being shot near the heart , the
bullet going nearly through the body. Gon-
rong Plmold wot" shot In the eye and Batiste
Dalmenc was cut with a razor. The Injured
men are all ftrlkcra. This was the only
disturbance recorded at the camps today.
The aggreeslvo workmen escaped before the
jncn on the Oak Hill camp were aware of
the fight. The report that Sandy Creek camp
will be abandoned Is denied by the strlkero
today and they cay that the men will bo
sent there from Plum Creek and Turtle
Crcek.
In addition to the general missionary work
for the week the leaders have decided to
direct especial work to the prevention of
operations at the Sandy Creek mine. The
strikers say they will resume ; their marchIng -
Ing tactlco In the morning , claiming that
under the ruling of Judge Coff In the West
Virginia cases , they are given this right.
Samuel De Annltt says tonight that 150 to
175 men will be at wolc In the Plum Creek
mine tomorrow.
It Is announced that the Now York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company will make
eight more evictions tomorrow from eight
different company housed. It Is not probable
there will be my , trouble.
The sheilft does not say tonight what
course he will pursue In the morning shnuH
marching begin , but thinks hels _ ready to
meet every emergency.
'Sympathy for the strikers by the farmern
and citizens Is not diminishing In tlie least.
Today there were about 700 visitors to tht
camp nt Sandy Creek , many of the farmers
.who came bringing wagon loads of provi
sions. Citizens of New Texas sent word that
they had plenty of food for the men and
wanted them to call on them when needed.
DISRUPTION PROIJABLE.
Developments In the coal mining situation
In the Plttsburg district will be watched
with unusual Interest this Week. Both sides
were apparently at rest today , but It was
developed that at the conference tomorrow
there will probably bo a disruption. By
many It Is believed that M. D. Ratchford ,
the national president of the miners' organ
izations will not bo present. It Is claimed
ho will stick to his original assertion that
lie will not agree to arbitration unlefs all
the states Involved are represented. H Is a
well known fact that the operators of other
states will not join local operators In a move
ment for arbitration. If Ratchford Is obdurate -
durato the conference will be useless.
This , In brief , Is the situation , and It Is
apparent that both sides are making prepara
tions for movements that will bo to their
benefit. From a reliable source It was
learned that If the operators start the mines
on the lines laid down , other mines will
also be btarted by the miners. It Is proposed
to EClcct operators who are not represented
at the conference and who are friendly to
the miners. They will bo given permission
to mine coal at the rate demanded and the
coal stored. By this moans It Is expected
to get a fund from the union joiners that
happen to bo working and with this fund
piy the expenses of a fight against Imported
labor. The miners' officials are making ar
rangements to have a fund on hand to send
foreign labor home just as fast as It arrives.
With mines operated under the jurisdiction
of the labor'lcaders , and with operators that
ar'o'frldndly who reap a profit , they hope to
liavo nn available and largo fund. This plan
has been outlined and will bo submitted to
the national olllclals If the conference proves
a failure
Superintendent Thomas P. DC Armltt said
tonight , In referring to the trouble between
his workmen and the strikers , that as near
aa ho could learn the strikers had fired the
flrot shot. The place where the collision
occurred , ho says , Is a speak-easy and In-
etcad of hU men going there to Influence
the strikers , they had been requested to go
there for the opposite purpose. Ho says an
Investigation will bo made and It 111. ) men

Labor league today passed a resolution voting
ing financial and moral support to tbo coal

have been made during the past week by

ers have been unable to get a meeting of the
miners and have nut with little encourage
ment through pertoual lollcltatlon. Satur

KANSAS CITY , Aug. 22. T. R. McGregor ,
the Kansas official ot the Miner * ' National
association , was In the city today and held
8ci all-day conference with B , T. Hughes of
Illinois and H , Jones ot Virginia , who arc
In the west doing missionary work among
the miners. They declined to say exactly
what their conference was held for , elating
that future developments might ehow ?
The Journal tomorrow will say of the con
ference : "They do not expect a strike In
the west at present. Whatever stdpa may
be taken by tbo miners will bo nil prepara
tory to the great labor conference at St.
Louis on the 30th , It Is no secret that they
believe the conference will decide on a gen
eral western strike. They claim that when
the strike In the west does come. It It even
comes , It will not bo eo much of a symper
thetlc strike as some people arc of the opin
ion. Barney Hughes of Itllnob , who Is a
miner , said today that the miners of the
west would strike to redress tholr own
grievances and cure their own Ills and that
It would not and could not be properly con
sidered a sympathetic strike. "
There are about 9,000 miners In Mlreourl ,
the same number In Kansas and about the
same number In Iowa. There are about 11,000
In Oklahoma and Arkansas together , and also
numerous miners In the other western states.
The coal mined In the west supplies a very
large country ,
Will Return to Work.
WHEELING , W. Va. , Aug. 22. The min
ors employed Ip the Peddling bank at Bridge
port , acrcss the river , have decided to re
turn to work .Monday morning , and their
move may result In resumption nt Bellalre.
The Wheeling coil miners , who were the
moving cause In getting out the Peddling
bank miners , will probably march to the
river front and force the Peddling bank men
to eomo out again. On thin side of the river
there I. } still a complete tlc-up , but there IK
a feeling that It cannot be maintained much
longer. Among the miners and their sympa
thizers the hope Is generally exprcfiod that
the strike may be settled this week.
Cunt .Maker * Strike.
NRW YORK , Aug. 22. The 1,500 operators
on fine coats , members of Progressive Tail
ors' union No. 11 , of the socialist eectlon ,
went on a strike today. An Increase ot 23
cents per garment Is demanded , weekly
payments , the recognition of the union and
a nine-hour working day. This strike will
clOiie 120 shops. Owing to the long standing
contention between the Progressive Tailors'
union and the United Brotherhood of Tailors ,
It Is more than probable that the members
of the latter organization will take the
places ot the strikers. One hundred and kit
cast side cigarette makers are on a strike
for higher wages.

COLUMBUS , O. , Aug. 22. President
Ratchford said tonight before leaving for
Plttsburg that ho expected the result ot
the conference tomorrow with the Plttsburg
operators would be that a general conference
of all the coal operators and mlncra of the
entire country would 'be called foa the near
future to consider the question of a settle
ment of , the strike. Ho did not anticipate
any other result from today's conference.
Secretory Pcarco will also attend the con
ference.

INDIANAPOLIS , Aug. 22. The ninth an

Christian union paesed Into history today.
The pUce of meeting next year will not be
decided until the general committee meets
In October , but -Albany , N. Y. , has the call
and there Is little doubt that the convention
will bo held there. Two consecration meetIngs -
Ings were held this morning ono at Tomltn-
Bon hall , for men , led by Rev. R. A. Torrl ,
and one for women , at the First Baptist
church , led by Mrs. Edith Livingstone
Peake. The pulpltu of the city and suburbs
were filled with vlcitlng paotors this fore
noon and praise meetings were the order.
Th's afternoon at the meetings John G.
Woolley addressed an audience that crowded
hall and galleries to the door. Ills speech
was characterized by radical temperance
utterances an3 U created a sensation.
"After fifty years of education , evangeliza
tion and legislation , the saloon Is com
mander In chief of American politics , " was
ono of his utterances.
"Thcro are two reasons why the church
failed In the combat , " he also said. "First ,
because her gunners fear that the recoil of
thotted siege guns might jar the stained
glass windows and Interrupt her offertory.
By 'gunners' I mean the managing officers.
If they would etand together at the polls
to sustain the par value of her political
declarations they could throw the old parties
upon their beam ends and leave nothing to
bo done but to tow the slippery old derelicts
Into port and break them up ; second , and
In a real argument of our citizenship pro
hibition would take tlio first place upon , the
program -without a revival or a question ,
"Do not fall of my meaning. I am not
hero In behalf of the prohibition party. But
I assert that you must join It or make a
new party or leave the church dishonored
and disabled.
"I say that every man of you who would
follow Jesus Christ must leavn the two old
parties. You cannot keep that company
and have Him with you at the polls. "
Closing addresses were made tonight by
Rev. John A. Duff , general secretary , the
Rev , T. C. Atkinson of Carnegie. Pa. , the

BUFFALO , N. Y. , Aug. 22. Buffalo la all
ready for the army of veterans who arc on
their way here to attend the thirty-first
annual encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic. During the night hundreds of
veterans and their friends arrived , and today
they are coming In by thousands. It Is
estimated that nearly 8,000 strangers -\\crc
In town yesterday and that from 15,000 to
20,000 came In today. The various railroads
entering Buffalo report that In addition to
the hundreds of regular trains , schedules
have been prepared for 145 specials to arrive
hero by Tuesday noon. Among the prom
inent arrivals arc : J. C. Wlnans of Com
mander In Chief Clarkoon's staff , J , S. Lowle ,
past junior vice commander , and Daniel Keen
of Wilmington , Del. , a candidate for Junior
vice commander In chief.
Camp Jewett. as the city of tents Is known ,
Is all ready Its Inhabitants , and while It
will not be formally opened until 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon , a number of posts nro
already Installed. Ample arrangements huvo
been made at the camp and elaowhero for
the care of the sick. Three hospital tents
have been erected at Camp Jewett , each In
charge of a competent staff of physicians.
The honor of flying the first pennant irom
any tent at Camp Jewett belongs to Reno
post. No. 64. of Wllllamsport , Pa. A detach
ment of eleven members arrived yesterday
and was assigned to tents 27-29. Clayton P.
White of Wllllamsport was the first veteran
to arrive , and Is quartered on the atcamer
Idaho , which has been assigned to the naval

CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE.
Among the later announcements of candi
dates to succeed Commander In Chief Clark-
son are the names of John C. Llnehan of
New Hampshire. George II. Innls of Massa
chusetts , James A. Sexton of Chicago , and
J. P. S. Gobln of Pennsylvania.
Colonel Wlnans of Commander in Chief
Clarkson's staff estimates the number of
visitors to Buffalo during the week at 200.-
000. making the largest encampment ever
held. In speaking of the choice of the vet
erans for the next encampment , Colonel
Vlnans said that so far as his Information
went there was but one choice among the
delegates , and that was Cincinnati. There
leem i to be a feeling , he said , among some
f the eastern people that San Francisco
vants the encampment , but that Is a mis-
ake. San Francisco Is preparing to make
a bid In 1899. With regard to the cncamp-
iicnt being held In Richmond , Va. , he s-
icrts there Is nothing in It. The , people
lown there do not want It and the veterans
lo not care to go there. The chief objec-
lon , he said , was the certainty of unpleasant
; ompllcatlons over the color line. Notwlth-
tandliig this view the Young Men'a Busli
ness association of Richmond has opened
uadquarters here and is making an effort
o secure the encampment. Colonel Wlnans
; ays Pennsylvania will send the most people
o the encampment , with New York second ,
and Ohio third , i , .

LONDON , Aug. 22. A dispatch to the
Dally Mall from Paris pays :
The flso In the price of bread Is the
cause of no little agitation. There Is talk
of summoning a special session of the
chamber of deputies on the matter. Market
rigging Is an Important factor In the rise.
At Marseilles the popular excitement Is
much greater than hero and the mayor of
the city has Issued a provisional scale of
prices. The cause of the rise there Is the
scheme of a syndicate of wheat merchants
to force the government to reduce the
wheat duties. The price has risen since last
night. Today the Importers and millers at
Marseilles held a long conference , and such
Is the popular feeling that the authorities
are taking stops to prevent an outbreak.
PARIS , Aug. 22. The Eclair and other
papero say oniclal circles regard It ae use
less to suppress the Import duty on wheat ,
and assort , that M. 'Mel ' I IIP , the premier , hen
made no apodal declaration on the subject.
The Temps sajs he has given the matter
close study , but at the ministry of the
agriculture , which docs not appear to share
the excitement of the ncw&papoih , there Is
no disposition either to suppress or to lower
the duties on cereals.
The Republic Francala says It learns that
the government has resolved not to accede
to the demand for the absolution of the
duties.

CHICAGO , Aug. 22. The Tlmbcrman
gives the following summary of the year's
umber exports from all United States ports :
The quantity of our exports of forest prod
ucts for the year ending Juno 30 , 1897 ,
is compared with those of the year ending
Juno 30 , 1887 , shows an Increase of slightly
over 100 per cent , and , as compared with
.ho average for the Ave years beginning
Juno 30 , 1SSC , shows an Increase of a frac
tion less than 60 per cent. The total value
of our exports of domestic forest and lumber
iroducts for the year ending June 30 , 18U7 ,
as compircd with the previous twelve
uonths , wns $39,024,800 , against $31,947,103 ,
or an Increase of over 24 per cent.
Our lumber exports to the United Kingdom
'or the years ending Juno 30 , 1890 , and 1897 ,
lave been as follows : 1890 , sawn and hewn
timber , logs and other lumber , $3,108,817 ;
1897 , $1,332,397. 1890 , boards , deals , planks ,
olstJ and scantling , $ r,943,90S ; 1S97. $3.211-
340. 1896 , shingles , snooks and other lum
ber. $710,219 ; 1897 , $1,224,520. 1896 , sash ,
doors , blinds and other manufactures ,
$2ir.7,511 ; 1S97 , $2,809,420. Total , 1890 ,
f7.920.158 ; 1897 , $11,580,063.
As the percentage of Increase In the quan
tity of hewn timber we are exporting to
; ho United Kingdom , compared with that
of the corresponding periods In 189G , Is treble
the percentage In the Increase In the total
quantity of their receipts as compared with
the same period , It Is happily demonstrated
that the large Increase In the quantity of
sawn and otherwise finished lumber prod
ucts we arc furnishing Is not only at the
expense of our wood exportatlons , but that
both show a handsome Improvement , di
verted from the countries which usually
enjoy the llon'o share of the results of
bettering conditions In the British markets.
During the year ending June 30 , 1897 , wo
furnished the republic of Mexico with lum
ber to the value of $2,181,098 , against a
value of $1,011,477 for the preceding twelve
months , an Increase of over 35 per cent.
The average value of boards , deals and
planks exported from the United States dur
ing the month of June , 1897 , was $16.13 per
1,000 feet board measure , the highest price
recorded. This Is nn Increase of $1.39 per
1,000 feet board measure over the average
for the twenty-four months ending June 30 ,
1897 ; $2.21 over the average for the yoir
1896-97 , aiid $1.W over tho. average for
1S95-90.
