I.—The operators of the Massilon district have determined to end the strike in the mines of the district at once, and on their own terms. This morning a nitice was posted in the city signed by the “Massilon Consolidated Mining Company,” stating that 1.000 miners were wanted at once. According to the notice 60 cents per ton will be paid for all coal mined in feet veins over 1% inch screens, and 5 cents extra per ton in thinner veins. Two hundred negro miners from West Virginia will be brought here to fill the places of the strikers. It is the intention of the operators who have pooled their interests in the Consolidated company, only to open one or two mines at first in ' the hope that the old employes will come to their terms when they see that their hopes of winning the strike are gone. Relief money from the southern districts, where the miners are at work, is not com ing in as fast as was expected, nor in sums sufficient to prevent a great deal of suffering. With winter coming on and want staring the miners in the face, the operators believe that the strikers will submit to their terms and return to work: NEW JOCKEY CLUB.

Interesting Notes of News at the Na tional Capitol. Washington, Sept. I.—The manage ment of the Texas state fair to be held at Dallas, commencing Oct. 20, and ending Nov. 4, has extended through Col. W. G. Sterrett, an invitation to Mr. Cleveland to honor Texas with his presence on this occasion. Rear Admiral Walker, fresh from Hon olulu. says that there appears to be no change in the sentiment of the white peo plt of Hawaii in favor of annexation to the United States. The Atlantic Coast Line claims that their new route between Sumter, S. C., and Denmark, to open Monday, will be the shortest and quickest line from east ern cities to Augusta, Macon and all middle Georgia points. Carroll D. Wright, superintendent of the census and commissioner of labor, and ex-official chairman of the labor com mission, which conducted the strike in vestigation at Chicago, has this to say in regard to speculative forecasts of the commission’s work in'Chicago. “All prognostications as to what the strike commissioii will recommend are purely guess work. The commission has not indicated in any way what it will do as the result of the investigation. The in quiry was conducted with great success, in our estimation. All of the principal parties involved, both on the side of labor unions and on the part of the railroads and the Pullman company,, came freely before the commission at its invitation, and gave every opportunity for the full est and most searching inquiry into their affairs. “The commission will meet again in Washington on Sept. 26, for the purpose of taking supplemental testimony that may be requirted byWther party, or that the commission itself may deem neces sary for its full deliberation. The com mission will aim to make a report to the President about the middle of November. The testimony is very bulky and will probably aggregate 2.000 octavo pages in print. Everything has worked well, and the commission has acted with perfect unanimity in every respect.” j „• , OOTTON EXCHANGE REPORT. Secretary Hester’s Annual Review. Statistics of the New Crop. New Orleans, Sept. I.—Secretary Hes ter’s annual New Orleans Cotton Ex change report of the cotton crop of the United States . was promulgated this afternoon. It showed total receipts of cotton at all United States ports for the year of 5,940,092 bales, against 5,068,892 bales last year; overland, 931.701, against 912,146; southern consumption, taken di rect from interior of cotton belt, 678.019, against 699,827. making the cotton crop of the United States for 1893-’94 amount to 7,549,817 bales, against 6.700,365 last year and 9,035,379 the year before. The total consumption of southern mills was 718,515 bales, but of this 40,496 bales were taken from outports and included in port receipts. This shows that the southern mills have used up 25,383 bales less during the past year than in 1892-’93. Mr. Hester makes the actual cotton crop of the state of Texas 2,059,060 bales, or, say, 49,463 bales less than last year. These, he states, constitute the actual deliveries from Texas and inland terri tory. Mr. Hester’s full report, which will be issued Monday, will contain some inter esting references to the acreage question, and also the result of his investigations into the movement of the past five years, showing actual deliveries from the cotton states, divided into groups in such a manner as to be almost equal in value to an actual census. In this connection he announces as a result of his investigations, that the cen sus figures which it was claimed were several hundred thousand bales too small for Texas and Indian Territory, and too large to the same extent in the Atlantic states, are proven to have been practically correct. FOURTH TEXAS DISTRICT. David B. Culberson Nominated After' a Total of 5,600 Ballots.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Al Allison, the cowboy who was shot and killed at Glasgow, Mont., a few days ago by George Grinnell, another range rider, during a quarrel over a horse trade, was one of the class of picturesque bad men who, like the buffalo, are fast be coming extinct. Allison’s right name was A. Allison Tisdale, and he was the son of a Texas clergyman, well educated, ac complished and a member of the Masonic order. He left Texas years ago as the result of trouble over a woman, and lo cated in Johnson county, Wyoming, the scene of the bloody feuds between cattle men and cattle “rustlers” two years ago, in which fights he was prominent. It is claimed that he was the first man blackballed by the Cattle men’s Association in that county for mavericking, and was the main instigator of the bitter war that broke out soon after between the cowboys and stockmen. During the rustlers’ war a brother of Tisdale’s was killed by the stockmen, and from that time dated Al’s career of out lawry, and he took an open and bloody hand in the war against the stockmen. At the time when forty-six stockmen were penned up on the notorious Bar A ranch, surrounded by cowboys, Tisdale was the leader against thepenned-upmen and fought like a demon. After the United States troops rescued the stockmen Tis kale tied to Montana. A reward of $2,500 was offered to any man who would kill him, and a party started out for the pur pose of earning the reward, but they were unable to catch him, although they had several close engagements with him in which several of the pursuers were killed. He located at Glasgow under the assumed name of Al Allison, and his iden tity was not discovered until he had re ceived his fatal wound last Tuesday When he was told that he had to die he disclosed his name and asked that his people be notified. The only concern Al lison had was about his horse, a magnif icent animal, which its owner had named White Man. Ho was afraid the horse would fall into the hands of a new owner who would abuse him. and he said that thought worried him. There had existed a touching affection between the horse and Allison. The .latter loved White Man as he did nothing else on earth, and he had good cause, for it was the ani mal's speed and endurance that carried him safe from Wyoming into Montana. White Mau fallowed his master about like a dog, and was with him when he was shot. When 'Tisdale fell the horse was first by his side, and, seeming to re cognize the condition of his master, he rubbed his nose against the man’s face and for some time kept the crowd away from the prostrate body. Tisdale is credited with having killed fourteen men, including the victims of his gun in the rustlers’ war. Second Texas District. Palestine. Tex., Sept.

Waltham, Mass., Sept. I.—Gen. N. P. Banks, who has been very low at his home on Main sttegtJbeße .since Thursday night, expired - at 8- tfclcwk: this morning. Nathaniel P. Banks was born at Wal tham, Mass., in 1816. He received a common school education and worked in a cotton factory to learn -the trade of a machinist. At an early age he became a lecturer. For awhile he was the editor of a paper at Waltham. During his leis ure he studied law. In 184 Vhe was elected a member of the Massachusetts legislature. He served In that body sev eral terms; and was for two terms the speaker of the House. In 1853 he was a member of and the chairman of the state constitutional convention. In 1853 he'was elected to congress as a coalition demo crat. During his term he with drew from the Democratic party and identified himself with the “Know Nothing” party. He was re-elected to congress as a member of that party. He was nominated* for speaker.of the House, and a contest lasting more than two months followed. He was, however, elected on the 133 d ballot. When the Know Nothing party went out of exist ence Nir. Banks became a member of its legitimate successor, the Republican party, and was by that party elected to congress again. In 1857 he was elected governor of Massachusetts. He served two terms of one year each. In 1860 he accepted the presidency of the Illinois Central railroad. The next year he gave up that position, went into the army and was commissioned a major general of volunteers and assigned to command of the Fifth corps of the Army of the Potomac. His first battle was that of .Winchester, March 23, 1862. Through Banks’ generalship Stonewall Jaekson failed to capture the whole corps. Banks also commanded at Cedar Mountain in August with such success that again his forces were not captured. After participat ing in Siegel’s campaign in September, he was placed in command of the forces at Washington, and later, in December, was assigned to command of the expedition agaist New Orleans. On reaching New Orleans he succeeded Ban But ler in authority. Fiom April, 1863, until the follbwing spring, Banks made numerous demonstrations in the Red river section without accomplishing anything much except what Farragut helped him do. Then Banks’ army, reinforced by Gen. A. J. Smith J s force of 10,000 men. were defeated by Gen. Richard Taylor’s confederates at Sabine cross roads, and the federals retreated to Alexandria. At that point complications arose which made Banks think it necessary to Con tinue the retreat into Mississippi, which he did with such good generalship that again his forces were saved from capture. This expedition, notwithstanding the masterly retreats, was so unsatisfactory to the authorities at Washington that Banks was relieved of bis command and left the army. He went back to Massa chusetts, and immediately his old district re-elected him to congress, where he was kept until 1872. In that year he was beaten. Later he was appointed United States marshal for Massachusetts, which office he held for years. A DOUBLE MUBDEB. Mysterious Killing of a Man and His Wife in Vernon. Vernon, Tex. Sept.

There is still some talk here that Mr. Cleveland is by no means well. After his return from Buzzard’s Bay, DT. Bryant of New York paid him two visits. There seems to be no positive information as to what ails him, but the common belief in Washington is that he has some internal trouble that requires constant treatment. He continues to get more fleshy, and cer tainly .to all outward appearances he is not a sick man, but it is not the nature of the President to be continually in the hands of a physician unless there were some specific need of such attendance.

The weather bureau officials, whose reports from the weather conditions are daily read throughout the United States, have been making obser vations of this phenomenon, and the opin ions of two professors of meteorology ’ were given to a reporter of the United Press. Prof. Henry A. Hazen said: “This is what may be called the Indiam summer dry haze. Just what is the cause of it, is a little difficult to determime. Similar conditions have been noticed in the past, notably on the “dark days” in 1871, which was due to a dense condition of the atmos xphere, probably caused by smoke. Iri 1881 there was another “dark day,” known as a “yellow day,” which extended from New England to Virginia on the Atlantic coast. In 1871 the smoke was so dense that many thought the “day of judgment” had come. In 1881 the gas was lighted in the streets of Boston at midday. While it was not so dark here in Washington, still the haze was very dense. The murky atmosphere that has been noted west of the Mississippi river is of a very different character from that to the eastward, as that is much lighter. It is probably caused every year by a settlement of dust or smoke particles. The air is generally quiet, and there are no conditions which would precipitate the particles causing haze or carry them to other regions. The conditions east of the Mississippi river are unquestionably due to forest fires, just as in 1871 and 1881. The fires this year, however, have been much more serious than com mon, owing to the drought that has ex isted. The atmosphere has been very dry, and extends to enormous bights. This smoke is not dense in any one place, but when you get a glimpse through a great thickness, it appears quite so.” Prof. Cleveland Abbe of the weather bureau, who has made a special research into this smoke phenomenon, said: “I be gun to-day a collection of all the data the weather bureau has relative to the speed of the haze which now covers the greater part of the United States. Early in July I began to receive reports of forest fires and large areas of smoke in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Since then reports have come from lower Michi gan, New York and Pennsylvania. There is every reason to believe that all of the smoky haze which now covers thecountry is the result of the diffusion of the smoke of burning forest fires And crops. A com paratively little fire will make a large quantity of smoke, unless it is widely diffused by strong winds, in which case the smoke becomes like the thin haze of the Indian summer. But it so happens in this present season the United States has experienced rather high temperature and light variable winds, so that the smoky haze has not been carried away to a great distance. It has, therefore, at the present time an average density greater than usual. It will doubtless all be cleared away by the action of the first general storm that sweeps over the country. “This smoke from forest and prairie fires is diffused perceptibly to greater dis tances than many people would imagine possible. ” VERMONT HAS IT, TOO. Bellows Falls, Vt., Sept. 2.—The curious condition of the atmosphere in this vi cinity caused much speculation regarding the cause. Some consider it similar to the “dark day” of 1883. Although the sun shone all day, it has not cast any shadow. It has been so dark that lights were necessary in many churches and dwellings. The sun was very red and looked like a ball of fire all day. Reports from Rutland, Windsor and many other places in the vicinity state the same con ditions existed there. It may have been caused by smoke from the forest fires, but it seemed too yellow for that. It has caused an uncanny feeling, and in some instances real fear and excitement. DARK ALL OVER NEW ENGLAND. Boston, Sept. 2.—A peculiar atmospheri cal phenomenon has to day attracted the attention of Bostonians. During the latter part of the morning and all the afternoon, the sun, unobscured by clouds, has feebly shown through a stratum of smoke sup posed to come from the forest fires now raging in the lake region. The effect has been a wiprd, unhealthy tinge to the atmosphere, made oppressive by the general absence of stirring air. The day has been a repetition, although in a lesser way, of the famous “yellow Tuesday” of 1881. Reports of a similar phenomenon have been received-from cities and towns all over New England. DEATH AT A PLAY. Amateurs Inflict Fatal Wounds Dur ing a Performance. gedalia, Mo., Sept. 2.—At Lee’s Sum mit last night an amateur theatrical com-’ pany, composed of young society people, was presenting the play, “The Postal Clerk,” at the opera house. In the play it becomes necessary to use a pistol. In the dressing room of William Gibbs were two pistols, one loaded with blank cart tridges and the other with bullets. Dur ing the act Gibbs fired at J. P. Lather man, an operator for the Missouri Pacific railway, who was playing an important part. The audience was horrified to see Latherman fall to the floor with a stream of blood spurting from a ghastly wound oyer his left eye. He cannot recover. Gibbs is almost crazed with grief, as the men were warm personal friends. For the Cape May Cup.

WATCHED BY WARSHIPS. Nassau, N. P., Sept, 2.—The steam yacht Puzzle of New York was watched while at Fortune island by three Haytian war vessls, who gave her a great deal of trouble, and who waited to capture her on her leaving that British port. The ad miral demanded of the resident authori ties that they should search the vessel, believing that she had on board arms and ammunition destined for Hay tian insur gents. A search revealed nothing sus picious. The Puzzle slipped away on the night of the 27th, and was chased by the Haytian vessels toward Nassau, within thirty miles, but she eluded pursuit and arrived here Aug. 28. ! .< POTTERS WILL STRIKE. Operatives Decline to Accept a Fur ther Reduction. Trenton, N. J., Sept. 2. —The operative potters of this city have voted not to ac cept any further cut in their wages. This decision was reached on account of the evident present intention of manufactur ers to ask the men to submit to another reduction on account of Senator Smith’s failure to get the crockery schedule in the new tariff bill raised after the manufac turers and workmen signed the recent agreement on a basis of a 12X per cent, cut. The men are working, but the man ufacturers have held informal conferen ces with them, indicating that a further ' cut is necessary. The manufacturer's have made no definite proposal, but it is likely that they will, do so. This will probably result in a renewal of the strike. Some of the manufacturers think there should be a further cut of 17X per cent., but others will not ask more than 7X per cent. TROUBLES INSICILY. Hatred of Peasants for Landlords Crops up Again. London, Sept." 2.—A despatch 'from Rome to the Times says that affairs in Sicily have again assumed a grave aspect.
