MINE WORKERS MGRES8IVE
PREPARING TO MEET THE
COAL OPERATORS.
NO CONSERVATIVE POLICY
President Hatchforcl Outlines the Prob-
able Course or the Miners—Will
Adopt Other Methods to Meet
the Injunctions and Threat!
of the Mine Owners—
Latest Strike News.
Columbus, Ohio, Aug-. 0').—The re-
port that Pittsburg operators had
made the statement that they intend-
ed to resume work, even if Gatling
guns had to be used and Pinkerton
men employed, is characterized by
President ltatchford as a "bluff." He
says: "There is but one interpretation
of this statement—namely, that the
operators prefer to shed blood rather
than negotiate a peaceful settlement.
They cannot build stockades high
enough or strong enough in the Pitts-
burg district to hold non-union work-
men, and every effort in that direction
will fail. In the first place there is
no unanimity among the operators;
and, in the second place they cannot
hope to get non-union workmen. Fur-
ther than that, the opinion of the
great public will of itself defeat their
plans, even though they were agreed
and non-union labor could be secured."
The national executive committee of
the Minors' association met here to-
day. Mr. Dolan of Pittsburg, being
asked why they were here, said he
did not know, having been summoned
without explanation. At headquar-
ters Secretary Pierce said he had no
news to give out.
Being asked to foreshadow the ac-
tion of tho executive board, ltatch-
ford said: "The conservative policy
adopted by our board at the begin-
ning must necessarily be departed
from because of the extreme radical
policy of the other side. We would
much prefer a fight, a battle, along
peaceable lines, as wo have been do-
ing-, but our board will bo obliged to
test the tactics of the other side and
also to take steps to extend the fight
into other fields. We have to adopt
other methods to 11: tit the injunc-
tions. Our people ::. o being arrested
in a wholesale manner for holding
public meetings and we do not propose
to have injunctions break this strike."
WEST POINT GUNS SPIKED
Bptte Work Against an Officer May
Cause a Court Martial.
West Point, N. Y., Aug. 20. —When
the flag was raised yesterday morning
no salute was fired and the cadets in
charge of the gun reported that it had
been spiked with a rat-tail file.
The officer of the day ordered the use
of one of the half dozen guns of the
light battery, but all were found to be
similarly spiked. It required all day
for the ordnance department to bore
out the guns. "Gad" Morgan, a
"plebe,'' who had been on sentinel
duty declared that nobody had crossed
his post. He will be court martialed.
It is believed that dislike of Lieuten-
ant Allair, who had been officer of the
night, prompted the deed, aud a thor-
ough investigation will be held.
AGAINST CHANGES.
Cherokee Full llloods In Full Control of
the Legislature—No Treaty Likely.
Taiilkqita, I. T., Aug. 30.—The Na-
tional, or full blood party, has a defi-
nite majority in both branches of the
legislature and is opposed to a treaty
of any kind with the Dawes commis-
sion or to any sort of recognition of
tho new statehood doctrine. If the
United States intends to place a new
order of government over them then
the Nationals will let the United
States alone be responsible for the
outcome of the change. It is quite
likely that the United States will as-
sume this responsibility not later than
next winter.

friend, where the officers found him
late in the night

New York, Aug. 21.—A dispatch to
the Hera'd from Mexico City says:
Exchange on New York has reached
145 premium. In other words, it takes
$2.45 Mexican money to buy an Amer-
ican dollar. This enormous deprecia-
tion of the Mexican dollar is minim*
merchants. They are cancelling all
orders for imports, and many will
close their stores, us they cannot sell
the stock on hand at a rate high
enough to replenish tliem. They be-
lieve that the price is unnaturally de-
pressed, and is due to conspiracy
abroad.
Meanwhile, home manufactures aro
booming, as the depreciation in silver
ma.-ces a high tariff wall. Coffee,
sugar, tobacco and sisal hemp planters
are prosperous, as they sell abroad for
gold and pay their laborers in silver.
The Mexican dollar buys as much
goods as it ever did, except of the im-
ported variety.
The government is hard hit, as it
has to pay the interest on tho foreign
debt in gold. There is some talk of
repudiation, but there is no knowing
what, President Diaz will do. lie may
refund the ti per cent debt, paying
only 3 per cent interest.
Capitalists aro flocking into tho
country to take advantage of the high
premium and invest their gold. Tho
belief here is that labor paid in silver
will eventually win against labor paid
in gold. In support of this theory it
is.pointed out that, the tin mines of
Cornwall will have to shut down be-
cause they cannot, compete with those
in the straits settlements and Borneo,
where Mexican dollars are current.
Hankers here say a hnndfull of men in
London are manipulating the money
of the world, which means that they
aro controlling the prices of the world,
and that it is the old tight of monarch
against society.
Rich Mexicans accustomed to living
much of the time abroad arc staying
at home, investing their silver in
building and improvements. All kinds
of real estate is rapidly advancing in
price, and the demand for masons and
contractors is largo. Attention is also
being directed to the tropical Agricul-
ture.

bler In this city. On account of his
bloody record the old type of gam-
blers tolerated him.
STRIKE LEADERSWANT AID
A (ieceral Sympathy Tle-ITp the Next
I'rojeetcil Stop.
Cot.UMBUB, Ohio, Aug. 2 I.—Tho offi-
cers of the United Mine Workers have
awakened to a full realization of the
fact that a crisis is at hand in tho
great strike, and are preparing for a
final effort. Tho proceedings of the
meeting of tho national executive
board have been guarded with the
greatest secrecy, but enough has been
learned to indicate that plans are be-
ing laid for a grand coup. It was
learned at midnight from an officer
that a resolution was adopted by the
board providing for a calling of a
conference of all the federated unions,
at St. Louis, August 30. Tho purpose
is to secure the co-operation of all
these organizations. They will be
asked not merely for sympathy, but to
join in the great strike. The plan is
to tie up traffic on tho railroads and
in other channels of business, so that
the supply of coal may be effectually
cut off, and thus force the operators to
negotiate for a general settlement of
the waj;e question. Falling in this,
tho miners' officials do not intimate
what course will be taken.

BULGE IN ALL THE
MARKETS.
HIGHER AT THE SEABOARD
September Wheat Jumps I'p Over •
Cents at Chicago—Reaches II at
Minneapolis and St. Louis—
Soft Wheat Hells at l>8 Cents
at Kansas City—Short-
age In Hungary.
Chicago, Aug. 21.—Wheat went up
over 0 cents a bushel to-day—a bigger
advance than the sensational one day
before yesterday. Chicago September
wheat, which closed yesterday at
sold to-day as high as 03\'c, aud
closed with all but a half cent of the re-
markable advance held. No. 2 hard at
Kansas City sold at 90 cents and No. 3
red at 9N cents. These prices, how-
ever, were right at tiie close, and were
made after the bulk of the day's busi-
ness was done. The Chicago market
was up nearly 4 cents at the start.
September wheat wont up to01%c,
dropped back to 80Kc, advanced to
92'jc, declined to 91 >gc, then went to
93 'jC, and closed at 93 cents. The De-
cern her price was part of the time at
J.je premium over the September. All
the markets of the country went up
proportionately with Chicago. Wheat
sold at $1 In Minneapolis and St. Louis
and above #1 at all the seaboard mar-
kets.
The advance was due mainly to a
sensational report of a great crop
shortage in Hungary. Liverpool
prices went up nearly 5 cents a bushel,
in tho faco of tho drop here yesterday.
Kansas Citv, Mo., Aug. 2'. -The
Kansas City market very quickly fol-
lowed the Chicago advance. Prices
went up 5 to ti cents. Hard wheat
sold as high as 90 cents and near tho
closo a cur of soft wheat sold at OH
cents. There was an active demand
for. all the. wheat offered. The price
of 98 cents for No. a soft
near the dollar mark that tho feeF
ing was general that it might sell at
a dollar at any time. At St. Louis No.
2 red wheat sold at a dollar a bushel.
Receipts hero to-day were 315 cars—
ily ten less than those of last Friday.
They are decreasing very slowly,
which is very remarkable, for It has
been the experience in previous years
that a big advance in prices leads
farmers to hold their wheat for still
higher prices. Kansas farmers have
sold at least )2,0:)0,000 bushels already
■a quarter of the estimated crop—and
the wheat movement, has been utider
way only a month. In some parts of
the state the crop has hardly com-
menced to move yet, and tho best
|.osted grain men on the floor are of
the opinion that Kansas has raised a
good deal more than 50,000,000 bushels
of wheat.

SPRING WHEAT CROP.
Karly Katlmiktea In the Northwest Are
Greatly Reduced.
Minnka 1*01,1 s, Minn., Aug. 21. —The
Journal estimates tho Northwestern
wheat crop as follows:
Minnesota total acreage 4,500,000;
average yield per acre eleven bushels;
total yield 49,500,000.
North Dakota total acreage, 4,200,-
000; average 10.5; total 44,100,000.
South Dakota total acreage, 2,500,-
000; average yield, 9; total, 20,100,000.
Total acreage, 11,500,000; average
yield, 10.2; total yield, 119,700,000.
Tho Journal says: "This would be
about an average crop, being nearly
the same yield as that of last year.
The crop is a very difficult one to esti-
mate, owing to the fact that it is so
much spotted. When estimates were
tirst made it was supposed that the
crop would be a 'bumper' one, and
17i>,000,000 bushels was the figure set
Now it is seen that it may run down
as low as 100,000,000 if bad weather
continues. The bad wheat will prob-
ably bit a feature in the m arkoting of
tho crop."
