UCH indignation is manifested
here tonight owing to a rumor

Walston and Adrian mines. An in
dignation meeting was held by thociti
Etna of ClaysTille tonight at which
Sheriff Qonrley, of this county, and
Governor Pattison were handled with
out gloves.
It is trne that the foreign element at
Walston and Adrian haa been a little
unruly In the last few days, but every
ouo familiar with the situation here
knows that there is no eanss for
apprehension. United States Inspector
Conkling . vlaited Walstou yesterday
and to day, in pursnanoa of bis official
duties, and ho reports that everything
is quiet and orderly. He said to-night :
"I have been over the ground and fail
to find any cnus of alarm, and I assert,
that if the sheriff wonld show a little
backbone, everything would assume its
usual quietness."
UNRULY FOREIGNERS.
No rioting hns occurred, but should
the Bell, Liwis and Yates company
bring In new men, the foreiarn element,
wbo constitute nine tenths of their old
employes, are prepared te give them a
warm reception. On last Sunday some
person told those people that "black
legs" would be brought in to taketbeir
plaeea this week. This unwelcome
news aroused their anger and tbey im
mediately placed pickets at every point
where men were likely to be brought
in. They bava even gone so far as to
force the English speaking people of
those placei from their beds to do guard
duty.
The English speaking miners are do
ing all that lies In their power to pre
vent an outbreak and are meeting with
success. The miners of the Berwind
Wlnte company held a mass meeting
today. Tbey favor compromise, but
declare that they will remain on strike
all summer before accepting the prop
osition of tbe eompany to return to
work at the old price. The Berwind
White company have about 330 men at
work in the No. 1 and No. fi mines at
Horatio, and bava loaded forty-eight
oars of coal dnring the past week. At
this writing tbe militia had not ar
arrived. PATTISON SENDS TROOPS.

Harrisburo, Pa., June 31. Govern
r Pattison sent to Sheriff Gonrley at
Pnnxtutawnay tonight a telegram noti
fying him that the troops had been
lent as requested and hoping
that order and tranquility might
soon be restored in tbe county. He
suggests that prompt measures be
taken for tbe arrest, prosecution and
conviction of all those who have been
engaged in violation of the law. Tbs
governor also telegraphed District At
torney MeCracken, of Jefferson county,
suggesting the necessity of impressing
upon the people of the oounty the fact
that opes and aggressive violation of
the peace and dignity of the common
wealth cannot be practiced with im
punity. He advised prompt legal mea
sures to bring the rioters to an account
ing before the criminal courts,
Adjutant General Greenland left for
Bellwood this afternoon at 4 o'cloek on
the speoial train which carried to the
Fifth regiment rendezvous the camp
and garrison equipage and food for the

The old men at Bessemer all returned to
Work yesterday morning.

about seventy new mon yesterday morn

All the ttlin elopers tori in tho ilassilon
district refuse to concede the differential,
which means an indefinite continuance of
the stride in that district.
The situation at Walston is unchanged.
The warlike Hungarians and Italians are
in full possession and are moving things
their own way. Every stranger who
passes Walston muBt render an account of
himself.
Superintendent Harder, of Walston, was
notified by the Italians to leave or he
Would be killed and he left for Ohio. No
actual riotis anticipated, unless an attempt
is made to start the mines at Walston or
Adrian in which case a do?perate fight is
inevitable.
A resolution was adopted by Punxsn
tawney miners yesterday that "if Hheriff
Gourley would mingle more with tho
workmen and hobnob less around with
company officials, and show more courage
In discharging bis duties, it would not be
necessary to appeal to the governor for
troops. "
Last night a special train of six coacheB
filled with colored men passed through
bcottdale for tbe south end of that dis
trict. They will be put to work at Trot

SENATOR HILL
TALKS PLAINLY
If tho Income Tax is Democratic, Then He b
Not a Democrat.
FALSE AND FICKLE LEADERSHIP
It Is This, He Contends, That Has
Brought Humiliation and Shame on
the National Democracy Senators
Chandler and Allen Havo Another
Interchange of Pleasantries Noth
ing of Conscquance Accomplished
in the House.
Washington, June 21.
SENATOR HILL'S attack upon
tho income tax was the chiof
feature of today's debate in the
senate. The senator, anions;
other things, presented a petition from
a number of prominent business men
of New York city asking that the in
come tax bo stricken from the tariff
bill, It was signed by Evan Thomas,
William Steinway, Louis Windmuller,
J. Edward Simmonds, S. D, Babcock,
W. Bayard Cutting. John II. Inman
and Alexander E. Orr. Senator Hill
said:
I do not wish to drive such mon out of
tho Democratic party by our unwiso legis
lation in the hope of supplying their places
with Adullaraites, Coxeyltes, Socialists,
and all tho ragtag and bobtail elements of
the community who will be attracted to
us by our proposed raid upon the wealth
of the country. This is essentially a war
tax. Heretofore, we, as Democrats, have
clamored agaiust it and others like it.
If this is true Democracy I want none
of it. If this is tho best leadership
which we can present in this groat
crisis, I for one must decline to follow
it. I prefer to stand with Jefferson, and
Jackson, and Tilden, in opposition to nil
income taxes and direct Federal taxation,
hut in favor of a revenue for federal pur
noses and direct taxation for state purposes,
I repudiate the spurious' Democracy of
these mudern apostles and prophets, who
are part mugwump, part Populist, and
the least part Democratic, who seek to load
us astray after false gods, false theories,
and false methods. I object to our re
storing a war tax which tho Republicans
themselves rejected years ago, with our
approbation. I cannot follow such lead
ership, which shifts and turns and tompor
izes upon every public question, which
compromises every well-established Dem
ocratic principle for which the party con
tended when out of power: which stands
ready to adopt eveiy passing "ism" of tho
hour, which surrenders principle for ex
pediency, and pursues no consistent course
rroni year to another. If politiesl success
of my party is only to be purchased by
such methods and sacrifices, 1 prefer de
feat and ties preservation of my self-ro-spect.
It was well understood that senators in
tended to vote on the incomo tax section,
not according to their convictions, hut ac
cording to the decree of a party caucus.
He trusted that such a hnmiliating spec
tacle would not be witnessed. It was not
even bousted by some that the Income tax
was the best feature of the tariff bill. It
that was so then ho could only sny, in the
emphatic language of the senator from
New Jersey (.Mr. .Smith), "Uod help tho
Democrat party."
ANOTHER VOLLEY OF I1ILLINOSGATK.
Mr. Higgins, Delaware, followed
with a speech agaiust the income tax
sectieu. Mr. Chandler, New Hamp
shire, renewed the controversy between
himself and Mr. Allon, Nebraska, say
ing that he regretted that he had dis
covered that the surroundings of the
senutor from Nebraska boforehe enter
ed tho senate were such as not to allow
him to observe courtesies which all
gentlemen regarded oven in the mo?t
heated partisan debate. The senator
from Nebraska, he added scornfully,
was to be pitied, not censured, for that
which he could not help.
Mr. Allon replied quietly but bitter
ly to Mr. Chandler's remarks. Any
statement that he (Mr. Allen) had
agreed to vote for the bill, in conse
quence of nny concessions made, or to
be made, to him, was untrue. Ho bad
said so yesterday, and he reiterated it
today. He would stand by tho bill "in
spite of the low dirty insinuations" of
the senator from Now Hampshire or
any other man. The controversy
wound np by a declaration of Mr.
Chandler that the closing remarks of
the senator from Nebraska only em
phasized his statement that the senator
did not comprehend the courtesies
which should character;. debate in
the Semite.
The senate prooeeded to net on
amendments to this suction of the bill.
The first amendment was offered by
Mr. Aldricb, Khode Island, to havo the
tax trininate on Jan. 1, 1898 (instead
of 1800) rind that amendment was de
feated : Yeas 32, nays 80, The threo
Populist senators, Allen, Kyle and
Peffer, and two Republicans, Dubois
and Teller voted with the Democrats
against, the amendment, and tho termi
nal point was fixed at 1900. There was
no further progress made on the in
como tax sections.
WOBK IN THE HOUSE.
The feature of today's proceedings
in the house was a short speech by Mr.
Pence (Pop. Col.), who nsed the recent
interview on silvor with Representa
tive Reod as a text. He Said he was
glad to welcome Mr. Reed to the ranks
of tbe silver advocates, but regretted
that he had not taken the degree which
mado a man master of ull free coinage
at the ratio of 111 to 1. He intimated
his intention to ollar a free coinage
amendment to tbe anti-option bill to
morrow. A joint resolution from the commit
tee on military affairs was agreed to
appointing Charles M. Anderson, of
Ohio, Sidney U. Cooke, of Kansas, and
A. L. Pearson, of Pennsylvania, mem
bers of the board of manager of tbe
nat tonal soldiers home.

was run true ami was a thoroughly
clean and healthy one. Banquet, who
is known to bo nervous in a big field,
was taken to the front nnd not allowed
to feel hie position. He was in conse
quence for the first tiinn able to do
justice to himself iu a fair sized field.
