The Slav that was killed was found lying in the road shot through the body with a Winchester ball. The others were found in bouses nearby, both said to bo'mortally wounded, having been shot, through the thighs. The strikers refused to give tho name of the Slav killed or of those injured. They wanted the officers to take the dead striker witii th;m when making the arrests. O.ie of th.e mi n arrested was shot in the arm.

Mounted patrols were pieced aronnd tho city lust night and a number of guards were stationed ateach coal ahatt. One or two drunken out aiders were arrested, but beyond this no tronble occurred. A company of strikers numbering 200 are en camped on the Sibloy farm about' two miles west of the city, and it is reliably stated that they are being furnished arms and food by sympathizers in this city. Svsral of the guards report local strik ers trying to get out of the city during tlto night with arms for the invaders. About 500 members of the first regi ment of Chicago, with a gatling gun. ailivrd here this morning nnd were followed by companies from Clinton ami Dloomiogton, and they are all in camp at the baso ball Dark. Crowds of strikers are located in the timber nnd near the railroad bildges all around tho city.

Everything is quiet hero tonight. Massillon, O. , June 10. In spite of efforts to bum bridgas and destroy trains, the Cleveland, Loraiue und Wheeling raiiroad is still trans acting business and the coal block ado is broken. The military have control of the southern division, and anxiety now is for the territory between Massillon and Ulirlosville. Early this morning dynamite cart ridges were exploded nudor one of the coal trains, bu;. Hie fuses were too long and the explosions did not take place until the last car had passed. Links and pius were found wedged at one of the crossings. Uetwven Uhricsville and Midvale, 300 miuers captured two bridge watchmen ant burned the stiucture, blocking the road four hours MILITIA AT IIOIKIS RUN. Charleston, V. Va. June 10 Five companies of state militia were last night at Boggl linn and six more ar rived this morning. The reports re ceived by the governor indicate that no serious difficulty has been mt with in coping with the strikers, though a tel egrum yesterday afternoon stat-d that obstructions consisting of Btones nud cro3S lies are being contantly placed on the track. General W. 13. Spillman, who is in command, had the plainest orders from Governor McCorklo to stand no resistance but to move out all trains at whatever cost. In order to do this it was (onnd necessary to put a company on every train and keep It there until Ohio soil was reached. At 2 o'clock the governor was advised that the sitnnU- i was growing more grave. Over 300 men thronged the yards which extend practically from Uenwoo I to Wheeling, over three miles. Th dispatch also stated that a party of lot) sinkers had crossed the mountnln to intercept tho west bound trains hauling soldiers and coal. RAILROAD bridges burned. Birmingham, Ala.. June 10.

I his thing must be brought to a bead pretty soon," ho declared. At 10 o clock he received a telephone message from Goneral Brooks, who said: ''The sheriff telephones me that 1 misunderstood him. He did not state that ho could not control them, Out that the condition of affairs might arise when he could not. I did not so understand him, hut I am willing to give him tho benefit of tho doubt. His future conduct must decide my con re. I go to the Independ ence mine this morning as scon as I can leave to meet Commissioner B lonton, and the sheriff, and will ad viio you of the result. There was des u tory firing between a detachment of deputies and eomo miners this morn ing bnt it soon ceased. It was at long range. If the initio owners do not take action to make the compromise effect ive, tho National guards will have to stay here all summer, and a collision can hardly be avoided.'' To this the governor replied: "lie purt from Altnian or Victor as soon as possible the result of the interview. Lot Brooks nnd Tarnsney aiiviio to gether and give me their opinion of the necessity of declaring martial law. Command the sheriff to move his deputies to Cripple Creok.their position before ho violated the ugreeinent." At 4 o'clock General Tarnsney re ported to the governor that the negot iations were then in progress to have the deputies withdrawn or disbanded. Ho said tne mine owners only wanted to be assured that they would work their mines on the" agreement. If these terms can bo made, which Tarnsney thought certain, there would be iu his opinion, no necessity for a more stringent military interven tion. Governor Waite readily con sented to all this, hut added: "The armed deputies must be removed or disbanded. Do not slacken your viyil anco one particle." TWENTY-FIVE FROM LEAQCfl. Philadelphia, June 10 The aid of the United Labor league of this city for tho striking miners was asked to day by Luke Burns and James Smith, bituminous coal miuers from the Clear field region, who appeared before the meeting of tho league and made a plea for assistance to enable to men to con tinue the etrike until their demauds are conceded by the operators. The league decided to vole $25 to ward assisting the strikers and also furnished the two delegates with the names of the secretaries of the various local organizations i leutified with the league, so that they could extend their appeal to them.

Tho pros' cut condition of things hardly supports their belief. There are several very important schedules yet to be con sidered, to say nothing of matters that have been left open ponding final ac tion when the bill comss out of the committee stage, and goos into tho sen ate.

Monday will bo devoted to the affairs of the District of Columbia. The In dinn appropriation bill, of which seven pages wer.- considered lust week, will again be taken up under the 5 min ute rule. It is the hope of the leaders that it will be out of the way by Wed nesday night, but the outlook is not Battering, If the bill shall dreg along later in the week a summary end to debate may be secured by means of an order from the committee on rules. Next in order will como the hill to erect a government printing office on onoftliH public reservations in the city.

E THE SIAMESE Serious Deadlock Occurs at Bangkok Over the Phrayot Case. TROUBLE DIFFICULT TO ADJUST The French Insist Upon Having; a New Trial of the Siamese Mandarin Telegraph in Asia Throe Thousand Miles of Wire Constructed Across Chinese Turkestan Other Notes of Foreign Lands. Bangkok, June 9. fj SERIOUS deadlock, which has Al arisen between the Siamese and n tllB Fre"cl1' is causing considera uu ble agitation. The Siamese gov ernmont has refused to produce Phray ot before the tribunal for judgment to day in order toprevout the French from seizing and convoying him to one of their gunboats, Tho French insist on his production nnd thoir attitude is menacing, Prince Devawongso loft here today to consult the king. The tribune is dissolved, and now the preparations to arrest Phrayot are an open assumption of sezeranity. The present trouble between the French uud the Siamese is due to the luct that France insists on a new trial of the Siamese mandarin Phrayot, who is accused of the murder of the French agent, M. (iiosgurin, bnt who was ac quitted of the charge at Bangkok. France has tl.o right to appeal to a court by its owu constitution in ac cordance with the following provisions iu the Franco-Siamese convention: "The authors of the attacks made on the French at Kengkhan and Kammouu shall be tried by ine Siamese authori ties, A representative of France will he present at the trial and wilt see that the sentences pronounced are carried into elTect. The French government reserves the right to decide whether the punishments aro adequate, and should they not be a new trial will bo had before a mixed tri bunal, whose composition that govern ment shall itself determine. Siam is to hand over to the Frenoh authorities nil French sul ji-cts, whether Fronch mon, Aunauiii'S, Cambodians or Lao tians, on the left bank of the river, who are at present undergoing imprison ment, no matter what their offenceB might bo." This action on the part of the French government is evidently calaulnted to keep open certain old sores iu Bang kok, where a general belief iu tho in nouceof Phrayot prevails. TKLLUKAl'II IN ASIA.

It has boen bnilt by a youug Chinese engi neer, Woo Hiwn Yung, who was edu cated ut the Hopkins grammar school at New Haven, Conn. The line presented unusual difficul ties, crossing vast waterless tracts in tho Desert of (iohi. In places the poles had to be hauled a distance of 500 to COO inilos from tho forests iu the Thiau Shau mountaius. In northeast China the fanatical iuhal itants destroyed 200 miles of poles and wire after the completion of the line. Thirteen of the leading men of the district w 're beheaded by order of the imperial gov ernment as a punishment and warning.
