they will not b molested unless they

THE M'KEKSPORT RIOTERS
McKeespout, Pa., June 7. Early
this morning the tube works strikers,
refreshed by a good night's rest, began
to assemble in groups in thi streets de
spite the numerous proclamations of
Sheriff Richards and the mayor of the
city. The largest gatherings were
about the works and depots, the stri
kers still fearing that the firm would
attempt to operate the plant, or that
new mju cr d.puttes would be brought
iu.
Tbe leidoni say there will be no fur
thur trouble aulesa this is done. A
co'icosiiou was made by them today in
allowiug a for OS of men to untor tbe
tube works to tike care of the artificial
gas furnaces, which were In dangor of
d structiou tor laek of attention.
Great excitement was caused about
midnight by tbe booming of a cannon
on the opposite side of the river. The
people ruhed out of their bouses to
the river front, believing that deputies
or new workmen had arrived. No
cause for firing the cannon could be
leprned, and tbe men returned to thoir
koine. This wus tbe only exciting
event of the night.
TheDuquesne Tube company, whose
pjant was raided yesterday by the Mc
Keesport strikers, has decided to sue
tend operations until tbe trouble at
Me Keesport is settled, the orders on
hand not being sufficient to justify the
risk of running the works.
B. AND O. BRIDGES BURNED
Bridgeport, O, June 7. Trainmen
report Baltimore aud Oaio bridges
burned near Barneiville. Troops are
expected here at any moment and tbe
Oovl crews have been ordered to report

to resist any ff.rt to put coil trains
through on the Cleveland, Lorraine and
Wheeling.
Denver, Col., Juae 7. The latest
reliable information irom. Cripple
Creek denies the rumor of a battle be
tween deputies and the miners. The
deputies nave been haviuir some target
practice and one miner's gun exploded,
blowing off his thumb.
Reading, June 7. The Temple fur
nace will be blown out on Saturday be
cause of a scarcity of coke. This stack

MINERS REMOVE THKItt TOOLS.
Punxsutaw.ney, Pa., June 7 In
ten,! of applying for work this morn
ing as notified by the coal company,
the striking men appeared at tbe mines
with wagons and removed their tools
rather than go to work at forty cents a

had to stand a good deal of lively bad
inage ail day, especially from women
who paused aloug the road, bnt ontsido
of this the best of order has prevailed
durinit the day, the first day of the

OFFICIAL NOTICE NOT RECEIVED
While on a Voyage to the Bchrina; Sea
the Cutter Strikes a Rock in the
Harbor of Sitka Her Loss May De
prive the Protectors of Our Seals
of Food.
San Francisco, June 7.
THE United States revenue cutter
Bearil iilmost a total wreck,
and possibly by this tim ? Is b-it-ter-d
to pieces, That informa
tion was rocoived in San Francisco Ust
nlgbt from tho dispatch of the officers
of tbe well known vessel, which says
she is fast on the rocks at the entrance
to the harbor at Sitka.
The steamer was plowing her way
into tho harbor 'it Goodiipee 1 on tho
night of May 29 when she struck on a
rock, and all efforts to gnf her relief
wero unavailing, She wont on at hitrh
water, and the officers state in their
brief dispatch that they have very lit
tle hope of getting her off. Her
stern was tho part to suffer most, and
the dispstch says that her rudder, pro
peller and stornpost was gone, and iu a
poa tho vessel must surely break up, as
it would be impossible for hur to
stand any amount of pounding on tho
jugged points of tbo rock on which she
rests.
The Bear left San Fraucisco about
six woeks ago to join tho Behring sea
flot to protect the seals. Iu her hold
she had about 200 tons of freight for
the nnval supply stations at Point Clar
ence and Point Barry, aud if it is lost
the cutlers will necessarily be short of
supplies unless another vessel is sent
with the necessary cargo. No lives
were reported lost.
RECUKD OREKLY.
The Bear is a three-masted steam
vessel, of not particularly graceful
lines. Her services in rescuing Lieu
tenant Greely made her famous. In
1883 a new commission was appointed
by congress to considor plans for a new
expedition for the relief of Lieutenant
H.W. Greely and his party of observers
at Lady Franklin Bay. The secre
tary of the uuvy mado arrangements
for the purchase of two Dundee seuler.-,
tbe Tbetii and the Bear, the vessel that
us a cutter of tbe United States Reve
nue Marine now lies a wreck at the en
trance to Sitka harbor, Alaska. Tbo
Bear was purchased at St. John's, N. F.
The third ship of the expedition was
the Alert, presented unconditionally
by the Britieh government. The
leader of t!ie expedition was Comman
der Wiufield S. Schley of the United
States navy. Tbe fleet was fitted out
at the Brooklyn nnvy yards. T he Bear
was the advance vesssi und left for St.
John's April 83, sailing from there on
Mav 5, closely followed by tho rest of
tho little fleet. The Thetis und Bear
rescued Greely and some of his com
panions on June 22 near Cape Sabine
in Smith's sound. The relief ships ar
rived again nt St. John's Oct. 17, 1884
no official confirmation
Washington, June 7. Up to the
closing hour of the departments uo
official dispatch bad been received
either by Secretary Carlisle or Captnin
Shepherd, of the revenue marine ser
vice, under whose immediate control
the revenue cutter Bj ir is, or by t lie
navy department continuing tho very
circumstantial rbports of tho wreck of
tbo vessel telegraphed from Sau Fran
cisco.
Tho nearest telegraph station to
Sitka is Departure Bay. British Col
umbia, from seven to ten days steam
ing from Sitka. Captain Shepard.who
formerly commanded tbe itusli in
these waters, however, is nnable to ac
count for tho presence of tbe Bear at
Sitka at this time. The Ust report
from Captain Heal, dated Sitka,
May 14, stated that when the Rev.
Sheldon Jackson bid comnloted the
object of his visit, which would
bo on the following Saturday,
t tveitber permitting, tho Bear would
sail pursuance of deparlinont instruc
tions received at Port Townsend.
These Instructions directed tbo Boar to
visit Prince William's Sound, Cook's
inlet, Shuniagin islands, en route to
Unalaski, the Sea island aud Port
Barrow. The fact that from Captain
llealey's roport tho Bnr should have
sailed from Sitka on May 19 in dies her
presence iu the harbor on May 29 unex
plui nable.
Captain Shepard laid today that tho
waters at Silk harbor are of sufficient
depth to aiiinU vessels of any draft,
but that the channels aro narrow,
crooked and beset with many sunken
lodges, and for these reasons en
trance is hazardous In his last
report Captain llealy said that the
Bear experienced vory heavy weather
on the passage up from San Francisco
in which her lower sails were dam
aged, and that the davits were bent so
that new ones were necessary. The
weather about Sitka, the captain said,
was the most severe since American
occupation, aud the snow fall had been
the heaviest on record during that pe
riod. TARRED AND FEATHERED.

SENATOR HARRIS IS DISGUSTED
The Parliamentarian Surprises the

The Session of the House Given

Indian Appropriation Bill Our
burst of Jealousy Between New

grim humor say that be was so much
gratified by the fact that throughout
yesterday and today two small psra
graphB of the agricultural schedule ba -l
been disposed of, that he would move
to proceed to executive business. The
whole day was spent in discussing the

duty on oatmeal from 20 per cent, to 15
per cent. Aud tho paragraph was not

committee to inquire and report

FRAZER RIVER RAMPAGE.
Tha Worst of tha Trouble Han Undoub

Vancouver, B. C, June 7 The
Ftnzor river is still rising at West
minster. During the twenty-four
hours ended this morning the flood
gained one inch. Tne worst hns un
donbtedly been experienced, for re
ports from up river points say the river
is steadily recoiling.
A correspondent who returned this
morning from a trip to Fort Huuoy on
a rescue steamer, reports a torrihlu
state of affairs on the upper purt of tbe
river. Herds of half starved cattle
tied on rafts, with no one to
guide the journey of the in
secure raft, were seen. Just above
Ham y some desperate ranger had sent
all his live stock adrift at the
mercy of the tide. Two houses tied to
swaying rafts were Been. Families
were at the doors with excited faces
and apparently safe. A red hundlrnr.
chief was furiously waved a short die
tunee off, and the steamer hands were
soon lifting out of tbe boat an exhaust
ed furmer and his wife. The woman
had fainted for waut of food.
It is now claimed by many that the
destruction of farms in the Frnzsr Val
ley has not been as complete as at first
reportod and that nearly all of the suf
fering ranchers will be able to raiso
crops this season.
