To-day was regarded aa a critical one in t.ie Kanawha valley. Friday 600 men at eight mines struck and the reports today indicate that every miner in tho Elkhorn field will join the strike. The number will reach 5.000. In Kanawha the operators have practically given up the fight, and are waiting for the men to settls their trouble and return. There is no change on the Norfolk Western and the movement of coal west through Ohio has caused no outbreak.

A secret meeting has been arranged at the Willow Tree mines Sunday. A motion will be made not to go to work on Monday and it is expected to carry. Thirteen organizers' are said to have got into the Monogh mines under the guise of applying for work. Indiana Miners In Bad BBape. Indianapolis, July 18.

Word was received here that the men at Hillsboro would endeavor to go to work against the request and demands of 250 miners from Litchfield and Gillespie, and that the sheriff was swearing in deputies to protect the men who wished to work. MAT REFUSE LOW RATES.

Eastern and Western Railroads Find No Profit In Big Convention Traffic Kansas City, July 18. Traffic men of both eastern and western lines are considering the advisability of refusing in the future to make low rates for national gatherings. This year more than any other has shown to the railroad men that it is foolish from a revenue standpoint to make 'low rates' for these big meetings. The fact is more apparent this year because the big meetings have come close together, Western men declare that the Christian Endeavor excur sions have reduced their local business to almost nothing. Passenger trains running regularly have not in them enough passengers to keep the conductors busy.

What few are traveling are business men. Eastern traffic men report as poor business in their territory. Local trains run almost empty and would have no passengers were it not for the fact that some people are obliged to travel. The reason for this Btate of affairs is the cheap rate for big meetings. OPPOSED TO FREE' SILVER.

The New Transmlsslsslppl President Puts Himself on Record. Salt Lake Citt, July 18. When this morning's session of the Transmis- sissippi congress opened President Craig said that the committee on permanent organization had recommended hinvas president of the congress with full knowledge of his views upon the financial question. Later the congress had put itself on record aa de manding the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio -of sixteen to one. He therefore asked the congress to name his successor.

William J. Bryan stated that the financial views of Mr. Craig wonld not be inconsistent with his duties as presiding officer. The question was put a vote and the congress unanimously refused to accept Mr. Craig's resignation.

"There are no negotiations of any sort pending between tne uni tea mates -ami opsin tile wm day, "and nothing will be attempted until the arrival of Minister Woodford at It is expected that Mr. Woodford will sail for his post the latter part of this month, and meanwhile all diplomatic negotiations are to be held in abeyance. When the Span ish authorities at the Court of Madrid come Ju contact with the -new American minister they will find him not only thoroughly potted in regard to the pending con troversy, but fortified with all the power that the administration can possibly grant Not a point has been overlooked and the president, Secretary Sherman and Judge Day have, in turn, communicated their Ideas and made, suggestions to Minis ter Woodford as to the r.ttitnde of this country toward Spain, it is to be an American policy throughout, and any bluff made by the. Spaniards will be promptly called. There is absolutely nothing known at the state department up to this time in regard to any combination between Japan and Spain directed against the United States.

There is a possibility, however, that the alliance which has been referred to in recent dispatches from abroad is merely an effort to per petuate the combination, between Eu ropean nations and Japan. If there is snything at all in the current story re' garding a Japanese-Spanish alliance it is merely a piece of. coquettishness on the part of Japan, with a view to eventually getting control of the Phil ippine islands. These islands have 'been regarded with envious eyes by Japan for many years, and any movement toward an amicable understanding between Japan and Spain must be taken with considerable grains of allowance. It is more than likely that Spain will even go to the extreme limit in receiving the Japanese envoy who has been sent to Madrid, but nothing will comesut of this meeting that will be at all dangerous to the peace and comfort of the United States.

Japan has no idea Of antagonizing the United States hi regard to Hawaii, and bluffs made in that direction should be regarded at their true value. Russian Curronoy. Washington, July 18. Russia has experienced some difficulty In reversing her atanda'd of. value by simple decrease shown in a report to the state department by United States Consul Heenan at Odessa.

He says: The change inaugurated about two years ago in the currency of Russia from a silver to what is supposed to be a gold basis has had a somewhat depressing effect upon the minds of the peasant farmers. By imperial edict it was made known that a 5 rouble gold piece would, until further notice, be equal to 7 roubles and 60 copecs paper cur rency, and a check drawn on any Rus sian bank for 75 roubles must be con- dddsred paid should the holder receive 50 roubles in gold. The masses of Russia are said to be uneducated and ignorant nevertheless, when they were offered 6 ronble gold pieces in payment of a debt due them for 7 roubles and. 50 to pecks they refused to accept it and pointed out that stamped on the gold piece in plain Russian characters were the words "five roubles," and thoy furthermore demanded to know why it was that they were expected to be' lieve that twice 2X made 7 roubles and 50 copecks in money or anything else. The government officials were equal to the emergency and recoined the same 5 ronble gold piece and stamped on 7 roublesand 50 copecks, whfoh il1nftt.rn.t.AM f.r.nr,M tiinm "That which illustrates adage "That there are more ways of killing a cat than by choking it with butter."
