Paris, Nov. 20.—Dispatches received
here from various places in the depart
ment of Pas de Calais show that the
striking coal miners are gaining many
accessions to their ranks. The strikers
now number 86,000, and no doubt is en
tertained that in a very short time
majority of the men still reinalning at
work will quit and join the great body
.of strikers.
The authorities are taking every pre
caution to guard against disorders,
and, thongh in some places the miners
display a very bitter feeling, there has
as yet been no serious disturbance oi
the peace, only a trivial outbreak here
and there that has speedily been sup
pressed.
As In all labor troubles in France,
there is danger that the socialistic ele
ment may incite rioting, and, as a mat
ter of fact, prominent socialists are at
work among the discontented and strik
ing miners, spreading their lawless
tenets. They are closely watched, how
ever, and upon the least indication of
general resistance to the law they will
speedily be lodged in jail.
To prevent the patrols appointed by
the strikers from approaching the pits
in their endeavors to induce the workers
to quit and also to guard against an at
tack either against the men working oi
upon the property of the mine owners,
strong detachments of cavalry and in
fantry have been stationed about tl
various pits. The presence of tl
troops, it is believed, will have the
effect of keeping the strikers as a body
from making a riotous demonstration.
This is the third day of the strike, and
both the miners and their employes are
confident of victory. No hint of con
cession is made by either aide, and from
present indication* the struggle will be
a long and bitter one.
A Fatal Collision.
Constantinople, Not. 20.—A colli
sion occurred on the Bosphorus between
the British steamer Bugs, bound from
Odessa for Shields, and the British
steamer Eddlethorp, from Port Said for
Odessa. The Eddlethorp went to the
bottom almost immediately. A steam
launch belonging to the Bussian em
bassy picked up most of the then in the
water. Only three of the sailors of the
Eddlethorp are missing.
A welting the Cut's Return.
' St. Petersburg, Nov. 20.—It was
made public that in accordance with
instructions received here from Liva-
dia,where the czar is, at present sojourn
ing, the issuance of the decree forbid
ding the export of wheat will be post*
poned until the czar returns to St. Pe
tersburg, early in December.
ARRIVED SAFELY.
After Two Tear* Absence the Whaler
Nicotine Come* In.
San Francisco, Nov. 20.—The whal
ing steamer Nicoline,. Captain Hern
don, has arrived, after an absence of
over two years in the Arctic ocean. The
schooner had several times been report
ed here as lost. Captain Herendon says
that the crew psssed the winter of 1888
at Elms hay. The ice broke np July 22,
1890, and pressed the schooner out of
water and on to the beach, fortnnntely
doing no damage. The whaling had
previously been poor, as the weather
was intensely cold and the ice did not
move, consequently very few whales
were seen.
Angust 8,1890, after having received
supplies and secured two white men and
five natives to assist the crew, the
schooner started eastward and reache
Herschel Island Aug. 27. Here seven
steamers and the schooner Silver Wav
were found. The Niooline proceeded as
far as Key Point, and sighting no
whales returned to Herschel Island to
winter. The homeward trip was com
menced July 19 last On Sept 28 a
gale, lasting five days, did much dam
age to the vessel Gales and bad
weather accompanied the schooner to

POLK RE-ELECTED.
Other Onicer. Elected—Congress of la
bor In February.
Indianapolis, Nov, SO.—Much inter
est is manifest in the sessions of the
Alliance here. After the regular rou
tine of business, the election of officers
for the next term was in order, and
nominations were made for the various
offices, with tbe results as given:
L. L. Polk was unanimously re-elected
president and J. H. Louks of South
Dakota, was chosen vice president! J.
H. Turner was re-elected secretary and
treasurer, and J. F. Willetts of Kan
sas, national lecturer.
George F. Washburn of the national
executive committee of the People’*
party, stated that the leaders of the
party were jubilant over the election of
Polk. Of the fonr great leaders in the
Alliance—Livingston, Macnne, Terrell
and Polk—the latter was regarded
the one favorable to independent politi
cal action.
Hr. Polk, in bis annual address,
severely condemned the two old par
ties, and in bis address, as well as be
tween the lines, so strongly indicated
his tendencies to the People’s party
movement, that the election of any
other one of the gentlemen mentioned
would have been regarded ae a blow to
the People’s party, while, on the other
band, tbe re-election of Polk is re
garded as a victory for that party.
Tbe election of J. H. Looks of South
Dakota, as vice president is regarded as
a great victory, from the fact that he is
a member of the national committee of
the People's party. The fact that a
large number of Farmers’ Alliance del
egates are also members of other indus
trial organizations and working to
gether wonld indicate that the trend of
their action was toward the unification
of all, and in the direction of indepen
dent political action.
The committee on the confederation
of tbe various industrial organizations
met at the Hotel Denison. This com
mittee was composed of five representa
tives from each of the six organisations
and was chosen by the latter for the
purpose of calling a congress of all
labor and industrial classes. It had
been decided previous to this gathering
to convene the congress at Washington
Feb. 22, bnt the south and west made
such strong objections to that place
that it became necessary to decide upon
some other location. The dnty of the
present meeting df the committee is to
fix a place. The matter occasioned a
lengthy discussion and ended in re
ferring the question to a subcommittee,
consisting of Terrell, Tuubeneck and
Bamngarten, with instructions that
either Indianapolis, Louisville, 1 Cincin
nati, Chicago or Springfield, Bis., be
chosen. This committee will look into
the desirability of these places and tbe
rates of transportation that can be ob
tained,' after which it will report. It
will make a decision within twenty
da vs.
l'he political phase of the situation
cropped out in the meeting, consuming
much of the time of the session.
Tbe question at issue was wbether
the call for the confederated assembly
on Feb. 22 should leave the way open
for the nomination of a national ticket
$t that meeting or wbether the scope of
work to be ijonu there should be lim
ited, so as to prevent political action.
1 1’ho latter canrse was the one finally de
cided upon.
When tie assembly convenes it will
proceed to draw np a platform of decla
rations and demands, and the two great
xditical parties Will be required to give
hem consideration and Indorsement.
It is not expected by any one that the
treat parties will take any notice of
bese demands, and the way will remain,
dear for the People’s party to call a
convention after the other political con
ventions have been beld and adopt tbe
platform of tbe confederated labor as
sembly.
This is tbe plan of action now de
termined upon by the People’s
The Confederated Assembly of
trial Unions, as it is called, will, in tbe
minds of the committee, be the most
important organisation of reciint years.
It aims for the. consolidation of ail la
boring classes and the subsequent di
version of the whole strength of the gi-
gsntio combination into the ranks of
be third party. It will be composed
of twenty-five delegates at large from
each confederated organization, and one
delegate from each 10,000, or fraction
thereof, of members.
A committee consisting of C. W. Ma
cnne and H. W. Baumgarten, F. W,
Gilreatb and J. B Steele, was appointed
to prepare ths address of laboring peo
ple, setting forth tbe objects and'
poses of tbe Feburnary meeting, wl
address is to be published within twenty
days.
