Our own miners In the Clearfield district hare made no demand oi. us whatever, and we do not know why they refuse to work unless it is that, through sympathy with other miners, they want to stop all coal prod action. Our miner* belong to no organisation. The operators believe they see signs of weaknsss among the strikes* They are unable to stop production lb Virginia and Maryland, and this fact operates seriously against them. As to our own miners, if they will not work we shall surely get those who will. The Br*. wind-White company is rushing new miners to its mines by the carload, and using vigorous measures to get all its mines into operation. "I think that the miners wsre deceived smi to the conference. While the operators were willing to meet delegates representing employes, although chosen by the labor organisations, they require that the employee shall be bound by the action of their representatives. Ws had assurances that such would be the ease, but we think these assurances were withheld by the labor leaden from the miners. About ths first thing we learned after reaching Altoona waa that any action taken by the men would have to be approved by National President McBride before it would be binding. It the employes could not act for themselves we determined that a conference wss useless, and so none was held, although several operators ,had informal talks with the workmen." The Berwind- White company alone has 4,800 men idle in the Clearfield and Jefferson regions. It is the intention of the company to begin work at once in one of the mines in Jefferson county. Guards have been sent from Jersey City and Philadelphia to protect the new men. If this fore* is inadequate a call will be made upon the state authorities. ppeals be reversed by the *upremn court Ho Drawback on Bituminous Coul WASHlKaTON, June 11.—Acting Secretary Hamlin has sent a letter to collectors \ of customs In which he says, pending the decision of the question by the aupreme court, no drawback can be allowed on bituminous coal used or to be uiod aa fuel on board any Teasels, but no objection is perceived to the acceptance by collector* of entries (or such drawback, when tendered, provided that,the parties making the entries shall die a stipulation to the effect that such entries and all proceeding thereunder shall be considered null and void Should said decision of the circuit uourt of Philadelphia, Jane 11.—William D. Kelly, one of the committee of bituminous coal operator*, who went to Altoona on Saturday to attend the conference with the striking miners, and returned to hia horn* in this city, said: Violated No Law. Gloucester, Mass., June 1L—The schooner Loring B. Haskell, of this port, has arrived home from the banks, and Capt. Day tells the story of her escape from the Canadiun cruiser Vigilant last Monday. He states that on Saturday, June a, the Haskell ran into Canso for supplies. Oi«s of the men wanted to remain there, but Capt. Day would not conient, and for revenge he believes that the man told the authorities that the Haskell had shippsd men in Liverpool In violation of the law, and as a result the Vigilant was notified to seise the vessel. As the Haskell was passing Fort. HaWkesbury the Vigilant's boat lay directly in her path and ordered her to stop. As Capt. Day had a perishable cargo, and it would be spoiled if the sohooner was seised, he refused to obey. The Vigilant fired three shots at the Haskell, but she did not stop and in an Jtour left the cruiser far astern. Capt. Day said: "Ihave violated no law, for I took out a fishing license In Liverpool and one in Newfoundland, and have the right to lay in harbor twenty-four hours without reporting at the custom-house."

BemcKIEy 8PIUXGS, W. Va., June 11.— The report of the marriage of Mrs. Kent to Associate Justice Edward 1). White of the United States supreme court, at this ffi.~ u without foundation. Justice White here laat Thursday with the lady to whom he is engsged to be married in the autumn, and her family, to introduce them to their summer home. When the story of his alleged marriage firat reached the Justice he waa very indignant, •nd hia wrath became greater as telegrams of congratulation and inquiry began to nour in on him. He was ekoeedingly sorry that such a report should have been circulated withopt ita truthfulnssa having been Inquired into. Justice White has left for Mew Orleans to fill an engagement in the court of appeals. He had quite a tumble from a horse aa he waa about to start out on a short ride. The attendant carelessly dropped the rein before Jfn White waa securely seated. The horse plunged forward and he was violently thrown to the ground, but escaped Injury except a slight jarring.  Unfkir To Squeeze the Stanford and Hopkins Estates and Let Othar Rich People Get Away Wit h Finndo—Iiegal Proceeding* Suggested. Washington, June 11.—Representative Geary, of California, made an argument before the house Pacific railways committee In relation to the Indebtedness of the Central Pacific Railway company to the government. He thoughtlt unfair for the government to pursue the California stockholders of this road, when the Oakes Ames estate and other stockholders of the union Pacific had not been proceeded against. It is not fair, he argued, to squeeze the Stanford and Hopkins estates, when other rich men get away with their plunder. The government hod no claim against the utockholdero in hii opinion. He thought that as the government had a lien on real estate under the laws of California, It could not proceed against the stockholders until the remedy against the real estate was exhausted. He read the law of 1863, under which the money was advanced to the railroad, and doubted if under this law the stockholders were liable tor the Indebtedness. He argued that the government did not take an ordinary mortage, but reserved the right to take charge of and operate the road. The whole proceeding had in view the ultimate ownership and operation of the road* by the government.He spoke of the attempt made some years ago in Calfornla to tax the road, and that its managers protested against this payment upon the ground that the road wae a governmental institution; that they were as much a governmental agency as a national bank and that the government had a right to foreclose upon the road if Its managers made a default. In his opinion the right of forfeltureextended to all the property of the company. The supreme court had not held to the contrary, though some had Insisted that it had. He argued from the decision of the ■ United States supreme court In 1881 that the government should forfeit, by a declai artery act or foreclosure in equity, the property of the corporation, and thus collect Its debt; that having forfeited the charter of the company, the government would stand in Its stead and could follow the funds of the company, which have been diverted by Huntington, Hopkins, Stanford and Crocker. He favored government ownership and control of railways and thought the government should begin this on the Union Pacific and Central Pacific IB. BAIR, Aat. I , }*<■■■■'■■ » M-ite ?

CHATTAKOOOA, Tenn., June 11.—8everal ago the government condemned twelve acres of land north of Sherman Heights upon which was located what waa known as Sherman's old earthworks, and sought to purchase the property from Squire Ford, its owner, for the purpose of a national park of the land, and it wastotended to spend 1880,000on the work, tat "Squire Ford asked such an exorbitant price that a jury was named to assess the vidua That jury brought In an (asses* ment of MOO per acre, but this suited neither the owner or the government and the jury was discharged. Another Jury was then appointed, who went through the ww« tactics of examining the property and surprised everybody Saturday by bringing in a report assessing the value of the property at 1885 per acre. An appeal will M t f and Judge Key of the federal court will try the case soon. Troubled by Tramp*. Kingston, N. Y., June ll.-Atno period in the hint - of fruit growing in the wrathem XJUti i ru t belt has the army of tramps been so larfeo as it has been up to this time of the season. Men who have » respectable appearance are marching the in Marlborough, Milton, H£bl*n<i, New Palta and elsewhere south of this city witn nothing to do and nothing to eat.
