THE immense plant of the National Tube Works at McKeesport, Pa., six­ teen miles from Pittsburg, on the Mo- nongahela River, was in the possession of a mob of 6,000 strikers Tuesday, who declared their intention to battle with new workmen and offi­ cers. The city at night was in a state of insurrection, and anarchy was rampant on every street. The bloody scenes of Homestead, on the other side of the river, were enacted and in all probability they will be repeated. The men are just as determined as those who held the Carnegie mills against the invasion of the Pinkertons, and will fight against aay and everything. All efforts on the part of the Mayor and police officials to disperse the strikers resulted in failure. The com­ pany has, apparently, thr )wn all re­ sponsibility on the city officials and sheriff • of Allegheny county.

The great bituminous coal strike has reached the eighth week of its exist­ ence, It is the most momentous con­ test ever fought in this country be­ tween the forces of labor and capital. Fully 175,000 miners are affected, and these are scattered over the States of Maryland, Pennsylvania. West Vir­ ginia, Ohio. Indiana, Tennessee, Ken­ tucky, Alabama, Illinois, Iowa, Mis­ souri, Kansas. Colorado, Arkansas, and Indian Territory and New Mexico. The strike has now reached the stage where vast business interests are crip­ pled. * The service of many railroads is paralyzed, the wheels of many mills are motionless: ships tug idly at tfteir ftao&orsj^up»t>lei for of coal to coptinue^thelf voyages, attd in seme cities the supply of water and electric light is shut off. In Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Alabama and Pennsylvania bloodshed has been rife and violence still impends: the militia of five States are in service, and in others are held in readiness to suppress riot and pro­ tect life; fatalities, unfortunately, have been numerous, especially in the coke regions of Pennsylvania, and only a pretext is awaited in ether States to precipitate more violence and blood­ shed. Among the miners and thoze depend­ ent on them there is much suffering, thousands being on the verge of star­ vation. Especially is this so in Ala­ bama where the workers were in no tit condition .to strike and where soup houses at the present time are a neces­ sity. Miserable Condition of the Miners. The cause of the strike which has resulted in such widespread stagnation of business is twofold. The tirst, of course, is the low wage* paid in the bi­ tuminous coal tields. No other class of workers than the bituminous coal min­ ers have been 60 harshly treated, so cruelly imposed upon, so wronged, 6o miserable. As a rule the cost of min­ ing bituminous coal is frrm til to 66 cents a ton, of which the miner re* ceived from 40 to 45 cents. Out of this miserable sum he must pay a helper and he is "docked" for slate and dust, the latter being deducted trom the weight. His loss of wage on the latter account depends on the honesty of his employ­ er, cr rather of his employer's sup^r- intsndent. At the ordinary mine great injustice and wrong are complained of on this account. The miner also usu­ ally rents his cottage, or hut, from the mine-owner, usually a corporation, and the rent is often exorbitant. The com­ pany also sharpens his tools for him at a generous price and sells him his fo<xl, clothes and blasting pawder, charging on the average &> per cent, more than the prices charged at t|xe neighborhood stores kept by private persons. In this way the company fre­ quently receives back or hold < back on the store and rent accounts of its men nearly all the wages that have been earned during the month. Starvation Wage*. The average daily earning of a miner is less than 80 cents, and to add to his burdens and the hardships of his lot his employment is irregular. Scant as the miners' wage has been, serious re­ ductions have been made since the end of last summer. First there was a cut of 5 cents a ton, and then in some mines of 10 cents. What this means may be judged from the fact that in the Pocahontas region of West Virginia the men were receiving only 37 cents a ton in 1890. Assuming thai the aver­ age pay was 45 cents a ton, the last cut brought it down to 36 cents. This means earnings of about 70 cents a day, which, with irregular employ- mant, ' dockage," and the inordinate >rices charged by the company stores jrought the miners' wages to the star­ vation point. While this cut in wages was in effect in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, cen­ tral and southern Illinois and parts of Kentucky and Tennessee reductions in other fields were threatened so as to make wages correspond. Another Cause of the Strike. The second cause of the strike was the desire of the United Mine Workers of America to enfore general instead of local or district settlement*. A general settlement would mean pro­ tection to the miners, to the opera­ tors and the public during the time covered by the settlement. Local or district- settlements were a sourej of considerable annoyance and less to both operators and miners, for, while some operators and miners were bjund by agreement, others were not BO bound, and thus a guerrilla warfare was waged on the trade. This is well il­ lustrated in the operations of the last few years. In 1886, under tho old ar­ rangement, Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, part of Weit Virginia and Northern Illinois were recognized as a com] etition district, and this f eld was covered by a settlement at the time. < The next year the Northern Illinois operators withdrew from the interstate convention, assigning as a reason for their action their ina­ bility to pay the price agreed upon by the operators and miners jointly In the interstate conference, because of the low prices prevailing in Cantral and Southern Illinois, which were not a part of the convention and were not bound in its agreements. In 1889 the Indiana operators withdrew from the interstate movement, assigning as a reason their inability to maintain prices because of the low prices pre­ vailing in Illinois. That practically ended the interstate arrangement. In 1SS0 ud 1681 Ohio end Fennsylveni* were together, but tn 18% they separa­ ted. The present aim of the miners is, thus, to enforce an increase i>f wages and to effect a general agreement among all the operators who csmrete ill the same markets. The object is one that necessarily commends itself and ore, too, wh.ch the bulk of the operators regard as just and desirable. But there are operators who refuse to bind themselves and these have been the cause of the failure of tho conven­ tion held in Cleveland between the miners and the well-dispoied opera- tow. The present condition of affairs in some ot the mining regions is critical in the extreme. Armed deputies and armed miners are confronting one another, and With the memories of past scenes of blocdshed between them, but little is wanting to precipitate other battles, more bloody and fatal than any which have preceded the n. Suffering and want have made the miners des­ perate, and unless the difficulty is set­ tled within a short time both sfdes will perhaps have grave reasons for regret.

Never has McKeesport, Pa., wit­ nessed such scenes of defiance of law and the inability of the authorities to cope with the law-breakers to the ex­ tent of repres-ing lawlessness as were enacted Tuesday and Tuesday night. At midnight the strikers were practi­ cally in command of the situation. A dispatch says: The trouble grows out of the strike at the National Tube Works and the strikers have since nightfall outwitted the police, broken into the millyards, and are making systematic tours of the wcrks and their surroundings, of which they Aow have full control. The plant resumed in two departments Tuesday and about twenty-five man went to work. The news quickly spread and by noon a mob of nearly 10;00o had assembled at the gates awaiting the appearance of the workmen. Most of the men remained inside, but a few attempted to go to their homes and were caught by the mob and terribly beaten. They were finally rescued, however, by the police and taken back into the inclcsure. The mob then dispersed in i art, but toward evening reassembled, and by ti o'clock probably 5,00Cr men were massed in front of the entrance on Fourth ave­ nue and it was said fully three-fourths of the number were foreigners. They were disappointed. At 6 o'clock the day turn did not come out and the night turn did not go in. There was a great load of provisions taken into the mill by the company. The mob surged around the entrance until 7 o'clock in the evening, when a rush was made and they broke into the yards. The men inside were panic- stricken, and it was every man for him­ self. Hundreds of the mob were equip­ ped with clubs or weapons of some de­ scription, and they began a wild chase and pursuit of the workmen inside. Several welders* took to the river and made their escape t3 Mifflin township, pursued by crowds of strikers, and finally were chased off into the dark­ ness toward Duquesne. The strikers were in complete possession of the place. They ranged over the grounds, and finally routed ten hidden work­ men. The pcor fellows made a dash for freedom, but were cut off and sur­ rounded. With no compunction the mob set upon these men in swarms and beat them shockingly. In the crush to get at the prostrate men one fellow was badly stabbed. It was the Homo- stead fight over again, with variations. UNDER THE MUZZLES OF SIFLB8. Miners at Clerk's station Stop » Train While 1he Soldiers Look On. Washington,. Ind.-rAt dusk this evening freight No. 9.', consisting ot cars loaded with coal, was held up at Clark's Station under the very muzzles of the rifles of two companies of militia and a Gatling gun, and the miners re­ fused to allow the train to proceed. The troops could do nothing, because no official was present to give them au­ thority. The miners knew this and were very obstinate. Deputy Sheriff Ray Hill was dispatched to the scene. Terre Haute, Ind.--The strikers at Shelburn have burned five cars of coal captured from the Evansville and Terre Haute Railroad freight train and also burned the cars. The militia came up to the burning cars on their march to Alum Cave. The troops completely surrounded the mining town of Alum Cave this afternoon, but found it practically deserted. Many arrests of, leaders were made. A detachment of the troops is guard­ ing the bridges to-night, as there are fears that they may be fired by the strikers. • ctat ohsbge. to plaoe all sngarson the fee* list the Democratic line was drawn, Mr, BQ1 voting in favor of it and Mr. Irby being paired the same way.

Only one of the Populists, Mr. Peffer, voted for free sugar. Messrs. Kyle and Allen in the final issue joined with the majority against it. If all the Republicans, with the three Populists and the two disaffected Democrats, had joined hands sugar, raw and refined, would have gone on the free list. On all the other amendrcets offered by the Republicans the majority against t)iem ranged from three to ten. A Washington correspondent says that the adoption of the sugar schedule practically insures the passage of the bill at an early date, although it is in­ timated that the Republicans will make a final stand on this schedule when the bill is reported and considered in the Senate. As adopted, the eohedule imposes a duty of 4t> per cent, ad valorem on all sugars raw and refined, with a differ­ ential of one-eighth of a cent a pound on sugars above 16 Dutch standard and an additional one-tenth of a cent against sugars imported from coun­ tries paying an export bounty. It con­ tinues the Hawaiian treaty admitting sugars from the Sandwich islands free o: duty, and places a duty of 2 cents a gallon on molasses testing above 40 de­ grees by the polariscope. The schedule goes into effect Jan. 1, 1895, and the bounty is continued up to that date. Compromise Amendment Passed. Mr. Jones offered the "compromise" amendment fixing the duty on raw and rofined sugar at 40 per cent, ad valo­ rem, with a differential c f one-eighth of 1 cent on sugars a])ove> 16 Djitch standard and ah additional one-tenth on fcugars imported from countries giv­ ing an expert bounty, continuing the Hawaiian treaty in force and imposing a duty of 2 cents a gallon on molasses.

Every hour adds to the gravity of the situation at Cripple Creek, and, a dispatch ea^s, a terrible conflict is .im­ pending. Unier Sheriff Mullins and County Commissioner Boynton are in charge of the army of 1,20J deputies camped within sight of Bull Hill. Mullins declares it is their intention to storm Bull Hill regaidless of conse­ quences. Commieioner Boynton is even maie emphatic. He declares that Gov. Waite nor any other man had no right to arbitrate out \>f the law. There were men on Bull Hill guilty of grave crimes for whose arrest tney had warrants. These men would be arrested at all hazards. He allowed that in doing this many lives would be placed in jeopardy. Nevertheless, the county had gone to great expense Jn massing a great force to vindicate ihe law, and this is not the time for hesitation. This declaration is called out by the fact that Governor Waite has instruct­ ed General Brooks to use the troops to prevent wholesale arrests of strikers. He says that Sheriff Bowers may pass through the lines to serve papers, but can not take a posse with him. The situation is extremely critical.

P. He hss about him the charm of a strong, self-reliant manhood--he is aDove all things a man. You can see this in his dark, soft, gleaming eyes. They are eyes which invite confidence. John Burns ia a working engineer who has led a toiler's life, afloat and ashore and under various conditions. He has worked along those mysterious African rivers which are associated in the minds of most of us with the explor- ings of Stanley and of Emin Pasha. He has worked in London sheds and yards. He is a fine and powerful speaker, and can control a vast meet­ ing of workingmen with irresistible force. He is a great democratic in­ fluence, and political parties and social organizations can hardly reckon with­ out him. He seldom speaks in the House of Commons, but when he does speak he speaks well and goes straight to the point. He never speaks but on some subject which he thoroughly un­ derstands and about which he has something important and direct to say. He has a fine and even thrilling voice, and one always feels that some day when his time comes and his own ques­ tion is uppermost he will make a great, speech. ^Scientific Orop*.
