The Connellsville coke region is still in ' V Cl S as to the outcome ot the ! V treat stnte. which has stagnated the trade or so many weeks. That portion of the coke region in "West moreland county is now under military control, and will re main so until there is positive assurance that no repetition of Thurs day morninjr's tragedy will occur. In Fayette county tbe operator:, have abandoned the idea of protecting their own property, and have placed it under the care of the county authorities. The condi tion of affairs has not changed in the least since yesterday. The presence of 1,200 State Adjutant Gene at ZlcClcllancl troops in and about ML Pleasant has not entirely relieved the anxiety of the people. "While the soldiers are here, no further trouble is anticipated at Morewood, or any of the nearby works. A hen bcrioua Trouble Is reared.

Secret emissaries are at work all through the coun ty among the men at the various works. ML Pleasant has been decided upon as a center of operations, and only the persistent appeals of the labor leaders prevented the gathering of a great army of strikers here to-day. All manner of rumors are current to-day about what tbo strikers propose to do, though nothing definite is known. Sunday May Not Be a Day of Best. Sunday is looked forward to with some apprehension, as it is expected that work ingmen in sympathy with the strikers will flock into this vicinity then. The presence of the mil itary has had the effect of keeping tbe strikers off the streets to a consid erable extent The crowds of yesterday have dwindled down to little groups of men. There are no loneer any loud arguments Colonel Smith, of the heard about the cor- Gallanl Eighteenth, nerSi au& l0 those not conversant with the full situation of affairs the prospect would appear as favor able as could be desired; but to others who understand the full situation this sudden subsiding of tbe demonstrative element is uot regarded as a favorable omen. The testimony taken before the Coroner has not tended to support the arguments of those who look for a cessation of hostilities. The evidence has gone largely to show that the shooting of the strikers at Morewood was not necessary to protect the company's prop erly. A crowd of the strikers' friends has listened to all the testimony, and the news is carried quickly all over the coke region. Operators Not at All Confident. The operators themselves are anything but confident of tbe outlook. General Manager John Brennan, of the McClure Coke Com pany, was here to-day. He stated that he had "just notified Sheriff McCormick, of Fay ette county, that the companv no longer felt able to protect its works, and they must ap peal for protection to the county authori ties. Should any damage be done to the works Mr. Brennan says the firm will hold the county responsible for iL "When we find that we cannot protect our own property," said he, "the county should stand responsible for it. In West moreland county our works are all under the protection of the State and will remain so until the serious aspect of the strike is past." General Manager Thomas Lynch, of the Frick Company, was asked this afternoon what he thought ot tbe outlook. "I cannot say anything about that," he replied. "Nobody knows what is to come." Did Not Want to Be Arrested. Although there was a warrant out for his arrest, Mr. Lynch did not wait for it to be served, but went this afternoon before a jus tice of the peace and gave bond for court trial on charge of being accessory before the killing of the strikers. On leaving the of fice he said to The Dispatch correspond ent: "'So, I was not arrested. When I read in the papers this morning that an information had been mide I went with my bondsman, W. J. Hitch man, before 'Squire McCaleb and entered bail in the sum ol ZWU. it is well under stood that the deputies were acting under orders from the Sheriff and I think tbe labor leaders who instigated the riots thro nghout tbe region to terrorize men and prevent them from working banked on weakness on the part of the Sheriff and his deputies and the hope that the Governor would not call out the troops. They now realize their great blunder aud are en deavoring to divert public attention from themselves and their lawless act by making this information." None of the deputy sheriffs charged with felonious shooting have been arrested, ex cept Nichol. Tne most of them are members of the State troops now on duty and the warrants cannot be served on them while on duty. Will Not Be Admitted to Bail. 'Squire McCaleb states, however, that they will be arrested as soon as the troops are called off. He will not admit them to bail and they will all have to go to jail to await court trial. ML Pleasant to-day has the aspect of a besieged city. A regular patrol keeps guard over tbelace bile on every hand companies of soldiers are march- hax.tim.ore and onro tracks. ing here and there, a continual menace to the lawless. Five companies of militia from the Tenth Regiment have been at the Morewood works all day, the other com panies remaining in town. The Eighteenth Begiment remained in its train all day. The noon train brought Adjutant General McClelland, who came direct from Chicago on the Goicmor's order. He contradicted tbe rumor fbatthetroops wereonly supplied with blank cartridges, stating that they were all fully equipped with ball cartridges. At 2 o'clock a conference was held at the National Hotel, at which Brigadier General Wiley, Adjutant General McClelland; Colonel Hawkin"!. Colonel Hamilton, ex Governor Iiitta, General Manager Lynch, of the Frick Coke Company, and several others were present. After a talk over the generil situation it was decided not to dis tribute the troops about tbe works iu this vicinity without further developments. The Tenth Kegiment is doing the active duty, while the Eighteenth lies in wait of iuture orders. Bell. STBIKEES TO BET EVEN. They Propose to Ino the Depntlc Dis armed or Arrested. ITB01I A BTAFT COBBESP0NDZXT. Mt. Pleasant, April 3. The strikers are now preparing to come back at the depu ftn ties in a peculiar manner. The majority of the men about the Morewood coke works were made Deputy Sheriffs and went about armed. Now that the military is in possession there is no use for the deputies, and of course there is now no call for the workmen to be armed. Warrants will be issued for all these men known to carry revolvers, or knives, on the charge of carrying con cealed weapons. "That is the way we will settle that matter," said Dis trict Master Workman Wise to a Dispatch reporter to-day. "Not oce of tbe dead men or one of the strikers who were wounded was found to be armed, and we don't propose to go out daily and see our enemies armed while we are not "Nobody but cowards will arm them selyes in times of this kind, and it is not well for any of our men to be found carry ing weapons of any sort. Just as soon as possible we propose to have the other side disarmed, and murder will not be so easy. The stories about knives and broken gun stocks found on the sseue of the trouble were made from whole cloth, as nothing but canes or clubs were found there, unless the depu ties put them there themselves."

Some of Them Find Difficulty in Securing Quarters and Provisions Everything Proceeding Very Smoothly for the First Day on Doty. IFROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.: Mt. Pleasant, April 3. The military is in complete control at tbe Frick Com pany's works at Morewood, and blue-coated sentries pace to and fro iu every direction. Five companies, averaging about 50 men each, are on duty there. Companies B and I are at the main station of the works under command of Captain Laird. Companies D and H are located down at the lower shaft, and Cis in the old log house just beyond the Morewood store, on the road to Stonerville. Colonel Hawkins has charge of this division THE SCENE OF of the Tenth, and has his headquarters at tbp log house where Company C is stationed. The headquarters are snug enough, but the other soldier boys on guard feel rather blue over the prospects of not sleeping much. Companies B and I are in the en gine room,and about the time anybody feels like sleeping tbe fireman decides that it is time to heave in a little coal. It is ex pected that to-morrow better preparations will be made for tbe accomm odation of the guard. The Morewood company has made no attempt to do any work since the trouble yesterday morning, but Superintendent Morris Bamsey says they will probably do something to-morrow. However, if any movement is made by the strikers they will doubtless postpone it until Monday. The Hardships ot the Eighteenth. At an early hour this mornins the mem bers of the Eighteenth Begiment tumbled out of their improvised beds or no beds at all in tbe coaches on the Baltimore and Ohio road and began preparations for a hard tack and coffee breakfast Campfires were soon ablaze on either side of tbe railroad, and large crowds got as near to the coaches as the pickets would allow them. At the little brook dozens of the spldier boys bared their brawny breasts and took a healthy cold water bath; apparently they were enjoying themselves. They acted like a lot of school boys ont for a picnic, rather than men who at any time may be called upon to face a mob of a thousand strikers. The members of the Eighteenth took to the soldiers' life like veterans, and before 7 o'clock coffee was boilinc over a dozen wood fire, and wood was being chopped for more. Through some lucky chance, perhaps some body else's mischance. Company F got hold of a ham and headquarters secured another, so that there was not much want of good eating for dinner. Company F, Captain William Awl, did guard duty to-day, and as a consequence missed the first dress parade, which occurred promptly at 5 o'clock. KcvioivcdUy the Adjutant General. The column was commanded by Lieuten ant Colonel F. L Eutledge, and was re viewed by General McClelland, General Wiley and Colonel Smith. Tne work was done exceedingly smooth for the first day out, and already the captains of the various companies are talking of the mathematical precision to be obtained in a few weeks ser vice. Generals McClelland and Wiley have established their headquarters on the second floor of the National Hotel, where a guard continually patrols the corridars. Tbe officers are all taking life easy and resting on their arms watching for what may come. To-day at the timcof the proposed meeting the Eighteenth was prepared to move at a moment's notice, but there proved to be no cause for anxiety. Company I, of the Eighteenth, the McKeesport company, ar rived this forenoon under command of Cap tain O. C. Cooo. He has 40 men in line. Major Kay brought up the rear guard at 1 o'clock. Company A, of the Tenth Begi ment, Captain Wcstcott in command, ar rived from Monongahcla City this morning, and is stationed at the armory in Mt. Pleas anL The local company is also on duty in ML Pleasant at the armory and patrolling the streets. Between 600 and 800 men are now here ready for duty at a moment's no tice. General Wiley is in charge and Adjutant General McClelland is advising with him and keeping Governor Pattison fnlly informed on all matters of importance. The militia men got into a slight alterca tion with employes of the works at More wood to-night on account of tbe poor accom modations furnished two of the companies, who were given sleeping apartments in the coaling-room. They spent one night there, and bad decided objections to making it two. After quite a squabble, the engine room was thrown open and the soldiers took the floor. The matter will be laid before Colonel Hawkins to-morrow. EUROPEAN news is excltlns now. THE DISPATCH carries Speolal Cables as well as the volnmlnonj Press news. All the For eign News to-morrow.

At 8 o'cloci this morning the Coroner's inquest over tbe bodies of tbe dead strikers was continued. At the opening the attendance was not great, but it gradually increased until the hall was crowded to its utmost capac- w- jC?SS3 5siS!- itv. The men were decidedly i n sympathy with the strik- Coroner Wakefield. crs, and all tes timony tending to go against the deputies was received with nods of approval and sometimes applause. The labor leaders and their attorney, Mr. Beascbm, were present when the inquest opened, and later Sheriff Clawson and his counsel, ex-Governor Latta, of Greensburg, appeared. The first witness called was John Bow baker, now employed at the works. He was not present at the time of the trouble and his only testimony was that he has never been disturbed by the strikers. C JtffcaS: THE SLAUGHTER. Albert Halley lives 125 yards from the the scene of the shooting, jAd saw-ti J flashes supposed to be from tbe guns. Ha gave no other testimony. BInsic Heard In All Directions. George TayloT heard music in different directions at 10 P. si. At 12 o'clock a band of 160 men passed his house en route from Stonersville to Mt. Pleasant, and about an hour later a crowd of 100 passed in the same direction. About 3:20 on the morning of the trouble they returned from Mt. Pleasant and stopped at Morewood. He does not know whether they were on the company's ground or not. He heard several pistol shots, followed by rapid firing. Joseph Angus, now fire boss at the More wood works, testified that he beard pistol shots as they came back from Morewood, but heard none before. He was not on duty, but lives In house No. 16. When the strikers were within ISO feet of his house he hoisted the window, but everything seemed to quiet down at once. After he put down the win dow he heard a pistol shot, followed by'the report of the guns. He said he knew of no deputies carrying revolvers. Witness said he could tell from the flash that Captain Loar's men did the shooting. Immediately after the fusillade he heard one of the strikers shout: "Fellows, I told you what they would do." D. M. W. Wise Don't you carry a re volver? Witness When I am acting as deputy I do. Mr. Wise Haven't you a revolver In your pocket now? Witness That s none of your business. Mr. Wise Did you hear anyone con nected with the Frick Company say the works would be run if we have to swim in blood? Witness No, sir: I did not. Tho Testimony of the Physicians. Drs. Myers and Plottner were called to testify as to tbe position ot the men and their wounds. Dr. Plottner gave his testi mony first. He found Paul Dohannas liv ing, and he was taken to the store. He was found just outside the gate. His wound wa3 a glancing shot in the back of the head, taking out a piece og skull, so that two inches of brain protruded. The indications were that be was stooping, with bis back to the firins parly. Dohannas died while the doctor was attending him. Valentine Zidel was dead when found. He bad three wounds, probably made by the same ball, which entered his back, pass ing obliquely up through the chest and lodged beneath tne chin. He was shot with his back toward the firing party. Joseph Brochto was evidently facing the guns and received the ball in the left breast, going directly into the heart. Cresenzo Biero was shot in tbe left breast and also in the left shoulder. Jacob Shunskey was shot from the front, the ball going in atthe left breast and pass ing clear through the body. John Fedora was also shot in the left breasL Antonio Bist was shot in the left side of the head, the ball entering just in front of the ear and passing obliquely through and out at the top of tbe head. His skull was badly fractured by the ball. The testimony of Dr. Myers was similar to the above in all essential' points. He Witnessed the Whole Affair. Peter Buskey was next called. An in terpreter had to be provided in this case and Harry Baatz acted. The witness lives in the house just inside the Morewood Com pany's yard and saw the whole affair through a window. He says the deputies were mak ing no disturbance at the time the men marched down over the lull. He heard shooting all the way from Mt Pleasant to Mr. Bamsey's house. At the store a couple of shots were fired into the air. Some one made a speech and the crowd cheered and yelled, "Come onl Come onl" They then ran around to the other gate and stopped. He heard Captain Loar call his men to gether and walk down toward the gate, which is about 60 feet from the house. The Captain called out "Checki" and though the rioters stopped the firing began. He heard no hammering as though the fences were being torn down. He caused a laugh by calling Captain Loar a "butcher." Mrs. Peter Buskey testified that when'the men were ordered to stop they did so and then some one shouted to fire and the shoot ing began. A man near the stable shouted, "What are you doing?" There was a shot fired from the vicinity of the store, which she said must have been from a gun, before the strikers got around to the gate. She farther said that there was no shooting by the strikers after they left the gate and they only said, "Come on, come on." They Halted, hat Were Fired Upon. Marshall Buskey, a 15-year-old son of the above people, gave testimony somewhat similar to that of his parents. He says one shot was fired above and two below Mr. Bam sey's residence. When the parties passed from Stoneville to Mt'. Pleasant they had lamps, but returning had none. At the store the crowd stopped and two shots were fired into the air. Some one made a speech, whicn was heartily cheered, and the crowd then went around to the lower gate. Here the crowd was halted by the command of Captain Loar, and no sooner had theyhalted than the firing began. William Donn, ol Spring Garden, was one of the party of rioters, thoueh he says an unwilling one. When they arrived at the Morewood works he heard some one ask what was to be done, and the reply was that they were going to stop the blacklegs work ing. He heard someone urge the crowd iu English to disperse. In his opinion the idea was to stay at the gate until the so called blacklegs came to work. Witness did not know whether force was to be used in persuading the men not to work. Some one was heard to say: "Look at the soldiers. They already have their gnns on the fence." Just as one of the deputies shouted "Checki," the firing began. He said that somebody in the strikers' party had previously given the order to touch none of the company's prop erty. There was no shooting by the strikers, he said, and they carried no weapons, though some of them, he admitted, carried canes. Compelled to Join the Strikers. Witness said he heard no command to fire, and as soon as the shooting began he crawled under the bridge to escape the bul lets. Donn said he had had no intention of joining the mob, but some of the strikers whose names he don't know went to his house about 2 o'clock and compelled him to get out of bed and go with the crowd. Grant Barr, of Stonerville, the first man heard this afternoon, is a coal miner ana was at Morewood with the strikers as they came from Donnelly and Stonerville. He says there were two or three shots fired while going from Mt. Pleasant to Morewood. They halted at the store half a minute. He had heard no threats and had heard some strikers caution them to keep off the com pany's grounds. Shots were fired. For half a minute after the firing the deputies ran. He saw four dead and one wounded man. He came to town lor a doctor for tho latter. He carried one man to the store where he died. Witness savs the strikers did no shooting. He saw the flash come from the direction of the stable, and one man fell against him. Ha saw no damage to the company's build ings. The crowd was taken entirely by surprise. He had no arms and thinks the strikers had none, none. After the shooting he was halted on the public road by Mr. Bamsey, as one of tne guarus, wnom ne told lie was going to Mt. Pleasant for a doctor. Guards and Gnns on the Koad. The guard carried a gun and was stand ing on tbe sidewalk 100 yards from the store and opposite Mr. Bamsev's house. There were two other men with Mr. Bamsey, all of whom had guns. The witness did not know which Bamsey it was, but knew it was not Morris Bamsey. The man wore a sandy beard. He heard one deputy say that this was the first murder that happened in the.Cannellsville coke -region. Another deputy said this should have happened long aco and there would have been no trouble. He did not know the men who had this con versation. John Hardy, an engineer at Morewood, testified that ho was at the store the night before the trouble and heard the deputies say they expected trouble, but did not say they were prepared for it. From his ob servatioahe tboucht it appeared as though luej were ureuureu. ao auiu suiue ot lue men at the works go armed. O. C. Cunning ham Slid he heard no threats made to compel strikers to go along with the crowd. He was not at Morewood at the time of tbe shooting. He passed the bridge ten minutes later and the bodies had not been moved. He says the deputies did not make any effort to look after the wounded. George King, of Morewood, was not there that night, and did not hear any of the shooting, but after the shoo tin jr was over he was there and watched the bodies there. One Bather Significant Feature. He picked up 105 hats, but not one was found on the company's property, and all along the public road. Thought it very curions all these hats were found on the public road and seven men killed. No canes or clubs were found on the company's ground. No oil cans were found, as was alleged. William Haney lives at Donley, and was along with the men who came over from Morewood. He says he heard Captain Loar eive the command to shoot. He could not see him, but knew his voice. A man stand ing next to the witness was shot in the leg. He says he did not hear anybody sav "Checki." George P. Cravton visited the store on the night of the trouble. S. V. Carnes, one of the deputies, asked him if they expected trouble. AVitness replied no, that it was a peaceable crowd. Carnes replied that they had better not do anything or they would shoot every one of them. James Hoak. bookkeeper at the works, said to witness that he understood a meeting of strikers was to be held in the vicinity. He said if they did they would be fired on. At this juncture the Coroner announced that he would ad journ the inquest to next Thursday at 8 o'clock in this place. It was at first in tended to have the remainder of the hearing at Greensburg, but the labor leaders argued that their witnesses are not able to go there and pay expenses, and it would be much better to continue in Mt. Pleasant. The Coroner decided to do this and set next Thursday for tbe continuance of the hear ings. The Frick people have been asked to furnish their witnesses on that date. Morris Bamsey said that very little testi mony would be offered in defense. Pabkee. FEAES FOB CAPTAIN I0AB. The Commander of the Depntles tho Ob served of All Observers. rBFEClAI.

A reporter talked wflh Colonel Hawkins, of the Captain Loar. Tenth, regarding Loar's conduct. He says: "So far as I can learn from deputies and members of his company, Captain Loar was perfectly justi fied in firing. He did no more than any other good citizen or soldier ought to have done."

General Wiley telegraphed the Governor early in the day that peace reigned at Mt. Plpasant, but that an opinion prevailed that Scottdale would need assistance, and that he would send troops to that point at once. In a later telegram he stated that he could not learn of any disturbance in the region, and that the people were remaining at home. The Governor was assured by General Wiley that the 17 companies under his command were ready to move in any direction. AH Advices of a Koseato Hue. Colonel Hawkins also wired that matters were nnlet at Mt.

Tbe news of the arrival of Adjutant Gen eral McClelland was gratifying to the Gov ernor, and he sent a message on receiving it stating that he was glad the General was on the ground. This afternoon orders were issued from the Adjutant General's depart ment as follows: Brigadier General John A.

When all moans of quieting riot and restoring order have first been exhausted, the officer commanding the troop3 shall notify the rioters that they will be fired upon unless they promptly disperse. Should they not dis perse the order to fire shall be deliberately Civen. Every soldier will be expected to tire with effect and the firing will be continued un til the mob disappears. When tna emergency has passed. Brigadier General John A.

The following communication was issued by the Bev. M. A, Lambing, of tbe Catholic Church here, to-night iu the interest of peace in the coke regions: It is time for all engaged In tho present coke region trouble to stop and think and ask them selves whether the course they have been pur suing is a wise, a humane or the proper one. If it his so quickly led to riot and bloodshed, where will it endf No doubt to the victor be long the spoils, should not be a motto, and tho victor can afford to ba generous. The ques tion is not what should bo and can be, bat what will be, and if there is so much animosity in tbe conflict, will tho victor and tho vanquished forcet and forgive it all! It behooves those who can do so to call a halt; ccaso and checK that rash, defiant, sense less talk that has occasioned unnecessary bloodshed. The courts will decide who Is to blame, but thero was no necessity for the dis pute going so far as to give the shadow ot ex cuse for bloodshed. The hot and hasty con ference of March 2 could have appointed a sub-committee, able to pave the way to a satis factory solution of tile question before iL Such a coarse can yet be taken. Both sides aro certainly surfeited with tho lata bloody horror. Thero may be soma anarchical spirits half under the influence of drink, who aro thirsting for vengeance, bnt such a spirit has bad too much influence, and if he had closed tbe saloons of tbe coke regions as well as opened the armories, tbe Governor would have done still moro toward tbe restora tion of law and order. Thero is no reasonable excuse for tho continuance of the trouble. It is incum bent on both sides to relax somewhat and settle their differences rationally and not by bruto force. The operators' and tbo vast majority of men must remain in the region ana exist in tho relation of em ployer and employed. Tho capital cannot be withdrawn nor the men displaced or replaced. It is for tbe best interests of both to bo on amicable terms. To secure this should bo tho aim of all, and to labor for this Is tho right of all. Anything that tends to prolong the dis pute should be discouraged; yet we find women as senseless and vindictive as the excited men. It may bo presumptuous in me to advise the pirties who can do so to settle this trouble amicably, and for all to ceaso or checkrash and defiant talk and conduct, and keep away from drinking places till the storm is past, but I should do what is possible for the preservation of. peace and good will among men or their res toration Mhen interrupted, and I am well enough acquainted In tbe region to know what is for its welfare, and believe I have a claim to be heard and some influence for good.

The skirmish line of the Tenth Begiment stationed at Morehead bad plenty of excitement to-night, and the entire battalion was out on two different occasions. AH the evening crowds were gathering on the hilltops, and affairs looked threatening. Five companies were on duty, and Lieutenant Colonel Streator telephoned for reinforcements. Company A, of the Tenth Begiment, im mediately started to the works, accompanied by Colonel Hawkins. The skirmish line was thrown on top of the hill between Mt. Pleasant and Morewood, and all the sentries were ordered to order a halt twice and then shoot. A shot was to be tbe signal for all the companies to turn out, and twice they obeyed the summons. About 10 o'clock one of the guards just this side of Morewood saw a man moving stealthily down the road. Twice he was order " halt, and the only reply was "Me kill, 4-j-g i" The sentry immediately fireL 0Cr, ',Jtrr. fell.

The militia turned out, but there was no cause for alarm, as the crowd of strikers made no move. Two meetings were held to-night near Shaft B and large crowds visited tne houses where they were held. All was done quietly, however. At 2 A. M. Saturday all is quiet. Colonel Hawkins and a couple of friends have just returned from tbe works. The snow now falling puts the ground in such shape that a man can be seen at a great distance, and strikers would find themselves at a disadvantage were they to make any at tack. t NIPPED IN THE BUD. CONSERVATIVE LAB0E LEADERS VENT A DEMONSTRATION. PEE- Flfteen Thousand Strikers Were to Have Marched Through the Streets of ML Pleasant Trouble Would Almost Cer tainly Have Been the BesnlL IFROM A STAT!1 COBRESPOirDEXT. Mt. Pleasant, April 3. Some of the coke strikers were eager for a big demon stration here to-day to show how little they cared for the militia. Labor leaders, of coarse, deny this, but a man well on tbe inside gave the story to The Dispatch this afternoon. There was a hard fightbefore the meeting was stopped, but the trouble was entirely over the telephone wires. All day yesterday and all last night messages were sent to the different towns in the re gion asking all strikers to come to this place for a grand, demonstration of muster strength at 10 o'clock A. M. It was the work of hot-heads, who de clared they wonld put 15,000 men in line on the streets at that hour and march peace fully enough to show their numbers. How ever, their plans were spoiled by the work of some of the leaders who learned of the scheme. Every prominent official in the region was immediately communicated with and orders given that not a striker should be allowed to leave bis home. This prevented the meeting and doubtless a big riot, as had a large crowd of men ap peared on the streets here to-day it would have been impossible to have controlled them. The evidence before the Coroner tending to show that there was no justifica tion for the killing caused a great deal of bad talk, and had the strikers been able to muster a suitable numerical strength tronble would surely have followed. THE LESS SAID THE BETTER. That Is Andrew Carnegie's Opinion of the Strike and BioL .-PFECIAI. TEX.EOBAX TO THE DISPATCH. 1 New Yoek:, April 3. Andrew Carnegie, who is a stockholder in the coke mining company whose works at Morewood were attacked on Thursday by rioters, was seen by a DiSPATCn reporter at his house, 5 West Fifty-first street, to-night. When asked to state his views on the sit uation, Mr. Carnegie said: "The least said the better abont this matter. I have only visited the place twice, and as I am simply a stockholder and take no active part in the management of the affairs of tbe concern I am not in a position to say much. From what I can learn the men who took part in the riot were not Americans, but nearly all Hungarians. Those men have no cause for complaint that I know of, for they are paid Ave times as much money for their work as thev could get in their own country. I don't think there will be any more trouble up there." Mr. Carnegie was unwilling to discuss (he matter further. SIIIltLEY DARE will give an experience in massage for THE DISPATCH readers to morrow.

DEFEAT PJU1ELL' The Popular Candidate of the Opposition Victorious at Sligo. ONLY A SMALL VOTE OUT. Majority for the Victors Mnch less Than Was Anticipated. THE STRUGGLE IiOT YET ENDED. Absolutely Ko Hope of a Sennion of the FJfxhtinjr Factions. SENTIHENTS OP TEE BEATEN LEADEE rBT DCJftAP'S CABLE COMPAHr.l London, April 3. The Sligo electioa has, of course, been the political topic of the week, and it has served to bring Mr. Parnell once more very prominently before the country. Everybody is talking of him, and in many quarters the result of the elec tion is regarded as by no means an over whelming victory for his opponents, who expected that they would carry the noils by a majority at least two and a half times as great as they actually had. Bnt apart from this, Mr. Parnell con tinues to attract an almost unwonted degrea of attention. He furnishes no inconsider able amount of discussion for and gets much vituperation from those who are politically opposed to him. There was a good deal of difficulty in ascertaining the correct figures in the Sligo election, the result of which was known this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Majority of the Opposition. Eventually it was declared, officially, thai Collery had polled 3,261 votes and Dillon 2,493 majority for Collery 768. The offi cial declaration of tbe poll was received with great enthusiasm by a large crowd of McCarthyites. There was no disturbanca outside of town hall. Messrs. Collery and Dillon both addressed the people. A painful sensation was caused in tho counting room by one of the presiding offi cers falling down in a fit. There are 8,775 voters on the register, of whom 5,754 voted. while 1,000 Conservatives abstained from using their electoral privilege. The fifth of those who did vote were illiter ate. It is noticeable that though the majority was not so largo aa at the Kilkenny election, the result was distinctly more favorable to Mr. Parnell, as over two-filths of the electors voted for him. Besides, Collery is a well-known citizen of Sligo, in which town he has lived and traded for 40 years and is personally popu lar, besides which Mr. Dillon is unknown. The Parnellites are pleased at tbe com parative insignificance of the majority, for the McCarthyites fully expected 2,000. Mr. Parnell arrived in Dublin this morning from Sligo, but left for England without awaiting the result in Cork. Surprised at tho Small Mojorl'y. The result of the Sligo contest was eagerly expected here, the victory of the McCarthy ites a foregone conclusion, tbe only surprise? being that the majority was not larger. The Parnellites are much encouraged by tlia result, in face of the influence of the priests and the personal popularity of Mr. Collery in Sligo. In an interview, Mr. Parnell asserted tht he had not expected to win. Speaking & Bailina, he said: "If we have won. It will be a final crowning victory for ns in Ire land. If we have lost, it will be such a. victory for our opponents that they will exclaim, 'Another such triumph and wo are undone.' Whether we have won or lost the battle I do not intend to losa courage. We have fought against enor mous odds. They would not allow our voices to be heard; they would not allow us to address the electors privately. They stoned us wherever we wenL The men who ought to have been the first to restrain any evidence of a violent spirit, wera foremost in inciting those horribla attacks on us. We shall be able to show by comparison with Kilkenny that our cause is progressing, that Ireland is becoming better able to understand the grave and important issues at stake. So will the determination and enthusiasm of one race rally to tbe sup port of a free and independent legislature and a free and independent nation." Tho Rupture Beyond All Mending. The Associated Press says: The Nation als discounted tbeir victory'in Sligo to soma extent by exaggerated predictions as to tha majority. It is estimated that 450 Conserva tives voted for Mr. Dillon. Speeches mado by the Parnellites after their defeat was known showed unabated pluck. The Par nellites tried to dupe Catholio voters by tha display of a bogus telegram from Borne to the effect that tbe Pope disapproved tha anti-Parnell policy of the Irish Bishops and had detained Archbishop Walsh in that city to prevent him from interfering with; Mr. Parnell. The Associated Press interview with Archbishop Walsh, which was published throughout the country on the day after its appearance in America, had an influence in enlightening the electorate as to the actnal opinions of the Pope and Archbishop Walsh. The events in Sligo have so widened the breach between, Mr. Parnell aud his old followers that the gulf will ba forever unbridgable. Mr. Parnell's phrases, "foul-mouthed Healy," and "maudlin Sexton," and bis charge that Mr. Sexton was in a speechless condition of drunkenness on his arrival in Sligo, intensi fled the fury of the Nationals.
