Pittsiu'ro, July 24.—If the plans as
ontiins'ii do not fail, the majority of the
coll operators of the Pittsburg district
jU pot together at the conrthonse in
this city next Tuesday at 11 o’clock in
,he morning. The call has been sent
mlt 8 ,„i enough signatures are at
tached to it to make the meeting a very
iiiterostinp one. The names are:
' \V. 1’. DoArmitt of the New York and
riAvelaml <»:«» Goal company, Francis

* ,1 w. P. lietid and J. B. Zerbe of

' mnaiiy. Federal Goal company, E. W.
Powers and J. F. Hosack of Ella Coal
company, J A. O’Neill, Joseph Walton
*0 (jo. tttid Sena Goal company.
‘ These are the heaviest producers in
the district.
The meeting will be the first held by
the operators separately from the miners
since early in 1890, when the uniform-
ltv question was before them in all its
\ipor.
If General Little of the arbitration
board can have his way, nothing of the
p^t will be referred to. Neither will
the present strike be discussed. The
point at issue will bo the fitness of the
old agreement to cover the situation as
It now exists.
To He-K.tablliih Uniformity
All the operators who have signified
their willingness to be present at the
meeting are in favor of the re-establish'
ment of uniformity, and their signa
tures will go a long way toward making
op the required 95 per cent of the ope
rators in the Pittsburg district as out
lined by DeArmitt.
The action of W. P. DeArmitt in the
proceedings has given confidence to
many operators.
General Little intimated that the con
Aiding elements for the first step should
have been eliminated. Owing to his
position, lie said it would not be policy
at the preseut time to go into details.
He was satisfied, however, and was in
the best of humor over the prospects.
It is very probable that the commis
sioners from other states will be noti-
tied to be in Pittsburg Tuesday. They
will bring with them other signatures,
and it is expected that whatever action
will be taken will at least be binding
on those that attend the preliminary
meeting.
oi.j.ct nf the Meeting.
As near as can lie learned, the objeot
of the first meeting is to determine what
grievances the various operators have.
Committees will be appointed, some
to solicit signatures and others to work
on the various features of the contract.
The foundation for ail this work has
beeu laid, and when the work once is
started it will be pushed to completion
as rapidly ns possible. *
The miners' olfi dais, although yery
busy, say they will do all in their power
to bring about a uniformity agreement.
They insist, however, that they do not
want the public to be under the impres
sion that ihey are losing sight of the
importance of the the strika The call
lays sni li feeling as may be deemed ad
visable in respect to a uuiformity.agree
ment will be considered. “This time,"
the circular continues, "is peculiarly
propitious for such action, as publio at
tention all over the country is aroused
ami directed to the matter.”
A meeting of the river coal exchange
wiii be held the same day to consider
the uniformity agreement.
Miner* ou the March*
The strikers contemplate a move on
the New York and Cleveland Gas Goal
company’s mines next week. A march
tv g.txH) or more miners ou the mines is
one of the plans discussed by the dis
trict ofii dais to got DeArmitt’s men
out
No violation of the law. the strike
leaders say, will be tolerated. The
presence of such a bo.ly of miners in
the vicinity of the mines which are
working, the loaders think, would have
the proper effect in causing a suspen-
imn of the Now York and Cleveland
company's mines.
Tins is pay duy at the mines along the
Wheeling division of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. The miners did not receive
much money, however, as they worked
only three days in July. The miners’
officials were busy all day distributing
provisions iimoug the poorer families

It is reported that the strikers marched
pn the l-N juitublo mine, at Webster, and-
induced the men to join them. The

SEAL CONFERENCE SURE.
Negotiation* For an International Meet
ing Proceeding Smoothly.
London, July 24—The negotiations I
far an international conference as to |
sealing in the Behring sea are proceed
ing smoothly and the prospects are fa
vorable for an early agreement between
the government and Ambassador Hay.
Mr. Hay had a satisfactory interview
With Mr. Chamberlain, secretary of
state for the colonies, and afterwards
met Lord Salisbury. Later in the day
he Bent several code dispatches to Sec
retary Sherman.
The Pall Mall Gasitte says:
“We are given to understand that
Mr. Foster is not conducting the nego
tiations with Great Britain in the Beh
ring sea controversy. His position be
ing defined by his own ride is that of
adviser on technical questions.
“We are asked to state that all nego
tiations with Lord Salisbury on this
snbjeot are conducted by Ambassador
Hay. It would seem unnecessary to
most people that this should have to be
daily stated, but there are reasons
why the actual position should not be
properly described. It may be said on
very good ground that the United States
ia anxious In this, if not in other mat
ters, to adhere to the usages of diplo
matic courtesies and the negotiations in
this country have been conducted in the
most friendly manner.”

dispatches from the southern part of

Some days ago a number of prominent
Cubans were seen in this city and the
suspicion was entertained that, as the
presence of these gentlemen in the state
was usually followed by an expedition
another wonld soon start from some
point on the Florida coast. A telegram
from Miami confirmed this suspicion in
the following words:
“Another Caban expedition is evi
dently on its way to Cuba, and if re
ports can be relied upon, it was the
steamer Bermuda that carried it For
some time the Cabans have been busy
at this point, aud their presence here
has kept the Spaulth spies ou the alert
The Cubaus, though, were too smooth
for them, and succeeded in- getting
things iu shape without being detected.
The schooner Dellie, which belongs to
tne Cuban junta, arrived here, tied up
at the dock, the arms and ammunition
were put on board and the vessel sailed
out of the river into the bay.'

Judges Newman and McCormick have
rendered their decision in the case re

decision not only overrules the city’s
demurrer, bnt goes so far as to emphat
ically deny the right of the city to pass
an ordinance requiring the street rail'
way compai - to grant transfers.
The judges say that it is clear to
them that t! e city is without the power
to pass an ordinance requiring transfers
and that the ordinance as passed was
void. The decision says that the ordi
nance was unquestionably a very broi 1
exercise of muuicipal power and that
appeared to go to the limit of municipal

W. Landrum, pastor of the First Bap

sermons against lynching Sunday, and
at their regular weekly meetings Mon
day both the Methodist and Baptist
ministers took action on the question.
The Methodist ministers, after listen

pointed a committee to draw up suita

the Methodist ministry of this city as a
