SPIRIT OF LAWLESSNESS Strikers Become More Exas perating Daily. In Spite oT tli (3 Expcricnco of Ono Week Ago, tlic Unruly Inhabitant ol Iiiittlmcr Shown Disposition to Dcfv the Authoritins--Thcy Jeer at the Militia ami Attack Men Who Desire to Work. Special to tho Scranton Tribune. Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 17. If there Is a clash between the strikers nnd militia, the consequences will not call down any great degree of censure upon the sol diery. The feeling here just at present is that the strikers are carrying things to an exasperating limit. In the face of last Friday's terrible .result of their refusal to obey tho mandate of the law, In direct opposition to tho voice of the people of the commonwealth, through their executive head, that these male factions should cease, and with a reck less, flagrant and In no wise excusable disregard of the living command and warning embodied In the presence of the militia they continue the very dis obedience of their marches, assaults on miners, depredations of the companies' property and tomorrow night they have arranged to conduct a monster mass meeting which, to those who set down nnd calmly conjecture the possible out come, is the most flagrant of all viola tions so far committed. Another rea son that all this Is looked upon as ex asperating Is that the great majority of the offending strikers are the aliens. In fact the English-speaking miners are dominated by the foreigners. Sev enteen English-speaking miners with whom your correspondent talked at Lattlmer today, said they not only dis approve of this persistent tempting of the power pf the state, but would be willing to go back to work under the offer made by their employer, Calvin Pardee, If they would be permitted to do so. We dare not go contrary to the foreigners, they said, for If we should we would never be able to live here after the soldiers left, and even while they would be here we would bo In constant danger. This same feeling Is found among the English-speaking miners of nearly all the companies. Tomorrow night's mass meeting, which Is the one exception to the demonstra tions for which aliens are responsible, Is to be laid at the doors of the agi tators. It Is not a notation of law, you will hear people say, to conduct such a gathering, and Its purpose is perfect ly legitimate and Intended for good, but at a time like this, when tho least spark is liable to start a devastating conflagration, the wisdom and In fact the moral right of such an affair la questionable, to say the least. General Gohin Is on the verge of indignation over the conduct of the strike leaders, nnd particularly over this massing and probable Inflaming of maybe 25,000 men, who need but a zephyr to fan them Into flame. PATIENCE NEARLY EXHAUSTED. "It Is certainly discouraging," the general said to The Tribune representa tive this morning. "I have done every thing In my power towards con ciliation, and have refrained as much as was possible from anything that would have a tendency to make the military power obnoxious to tho strik ers, yet for all the forbearance that the department has exercised there has not been a single act on the Part of the strikers that could be considered ap preciative or that would Indicate that they are disposed to act in harmony which should be tho purpose of all who wish to seo an end of this deplorable affair. They say they want tho troops withdrawn, yet they persist unceas ingly and strenuously In that very thing which brought the soldiery here, and which leaves no recourse save keeping them here." To what extremes these challenges to the state's power go, Is Instanced by tho repetition of yesterday's Econes at McAdoo. The strikers who secured a crowd of women to march on the collieries of that place announced openly to tho newspaper men who went to the scene that the affair would be repeated this morning. It was and the efforts to re sume operations at three of the places was prevented, while In tho fourth place the star washery, forty of the 133 employes did not venturo to re turn to work. And while this was go ing on a troop of cavalry was riding to prevent It at any cost, and their approach was known to the strikers. As the troops rodo through the town after finding that they had been too late to carry out their mission, they were met with Jibes and Jeers from the women along the streets and In the doorways. What General Gobln will do regarding tomorrow night's af fair Is not definitely known. Ho says himself that he will be guided by clr ., oumstances. "I do not feel inclined to Prevent a meeting which has the os tcmlble purpose this has, but I am here to suppress disorder and anything that would tend to create disorder, and if I find that tho meeting Is disorder ly or has a tendency to create disorder I will Interfere." He proposes to keep informed of S GRAVE what transpires and will be prepared to act instantly anil decisively. It Is understood that lie will have representatives at the meeting, and means of Immediate communication with them. Should a display of forco be necessary, the Ninth regiment, which Is only across the road from Oak Park, the meeting place, will be called upon. The "scare" despatch about the stealing of dynamite from Turnbacher's magazine, filed at 2.30 this morning, was the result of a watchman's excitement and the fact that It was too late an hour for in vestigation. At headquarters this morning it was explained that all the dynamite of the region Is now being transferred to and stored in Turnback's magazine, which Is a very commodious one, and located In a well guarded dis trict. A patrol of 100 men were Bent to guard it laBt night, and a watchman at the cranberry mine who, from a distance, saw a crowd of men with lanterns In and around the place be lieved that the Hungarians of the lo cality were breaking In and without waiting to investigate telephoned to brigade headquarters the startling In formation contained In The Tribune's header this morning. T. J. D. WOMEN ATTACK MINERS. Ono Hundred Men nt Cnrson Wnsh crv Diivon Away from Their Work. By Associated Press. Hazleton Pa., Sept. 17. The strike situation tonight may be summarized thus: Over ten thousand men are still out, with no apparent prospect of settle ment; sporadic outbreaks of violence are occurring near the outlying col lieries, and the withdrawal of troops is not only without consideration, but the guard lines of several of the camps are being constantly strengthened, nnd tho wisdom of bringing more cavalry Is being discussed. Colonel Case, of the Fourth regiment, nnd Colonel Ma gee, of the Eighth, are both complain ing of lack of cavalry to cover the largo extent of territory under their commands, nnd it was said today that if the soldiers are kept here much longer tho Sheridan troop, of Tyrone, nttnehed to the Second brigade, will bo ordered out. A captain of General Gobln's staff Is authority for the statement that an uneasy feeling prevails at headquar ters, in consequence of the little out breaks of the past few days and the Indication they hold of the underlying disturbance. The brigade commander himself admitted today that tho ac tion of the raiding women was" giving him much perplexity. He does not care to use force against them,, and has Instructed the soldiers In case of necessity, to use only the flats of their sabres upon the amazons. Tho story reached the general that many men were in tho attacking crowds of yes terday and today disguised as wo men. The strikers no longer disperse when the troops nppear in their ter ritory, and today while a body of Eighth regiment ofllcers were taking a look over the Honey Brook district a burly Irish woman who stood at the head of a crowd of foreign women and men, shouted to the captain: "Say, cap, divide your guns with us and we'll give you a h of a fight." The soldiers Ignored the challenge. Similar taunts have been thrown at bodies of militia In the Drifton region as well. VIOLENT SCENE. This morning's violent scene at Audenrled was almost an exact repe tition of yesterday's at the same place. It arose from another attempt to start the Monarch nnd Star washerles of the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre com pany. About ono hundred men report ed for work at tho former, when the wild band of women swooped down upon them with an armament of sticks and stones. Others were sta tloned on top of an adjacent culm bank, whence they showered missiles upon the would-be workers, nnd a large body of men nnd boys waited In reserve behind tho bank. The men promptly quit work before any injury could be inflicted. At the Star washery, where one hundred of one hundred and thirty-five men want ed to work, a like assault stopped them. No further attempt was made to work tho Carson washery. A squad of the uovernors troop went there to quell the disturbance, but all was quiet when they arrived, except that the rabble of women hooted and cursed the mllitln, wno made no response. The call for troons whlrli rnmo from Hrnnlmrrv nt 2 o'clock this morning was the act of a scared night watchman, who mistook soiuiers tor strikers. All. the dynamite that can be found In the region Is be ing collected and stored In Tumbach's powder house, to keep it from tho hands of tho miners, and onp hnnilrpil men from the Ninth regiment were sent over to guard tho house. The watch man saw tho lights and moving figures, lost his nerve, and telephoned that an nttack was threatened. Late last night another territory was turbulent. A body of strikers at Lat tlmer No. 2 quarrelsd among them selves and bloodshed was threatened, when Company E, of the Thirteenth regiment, which Is camped at Lattl mer, restored quiet. The colonel of the regiment said today that he feared trouble and had strengthened the guard and organized a special system of.slg nals that will get the soldiers in readi ness for action within five minutes. Acting Brigade Surgeon Lieutenant Halderstadt, escorted by Captain Nor rls, of the general's staff, and a squad ron of cavalry, made a long march this afternoon through Lattlmer and Drif ton. The camps of tho Fourth, Twelfth and Thirteenth regiments were visited and the surgeon inspected the sanitary arrangements and the supply and quality of food. The Fourth regiment had a battalion marching through Jed do, Freeland and Drifton, and tho Eighth sent a body of men out for a practice drill. The frequent excursions of the cav alry were explained today by an at tache of the general's staff, who said they were intended to familiarize the men with the mountainous country In the event of conditions which would stop the use of telegraph wlreis and trains.

Washington, Sept. 17. Commissioner Evans, of tho pension bureau, said to day that ho thought It would bo neces sary this year to ask congress for a deficiency appropriation on account of pensions. He said: "I estimate that the total payments for the year will not exceed $117,500,000, and tho appropriation for the year $141,2G3,SS0. If there should be an un expected falling off in tho revenues, the pension payments might bo cur tailed toward the end of tho year, al though I do not think that Is at all likely." Tho increased pension payments, ho said, would be due chiefly to the fact that there are about 200,000 old claims pending, which, it is tho intention oC tho bureau, to adjudicate as rapidly as possible. Tho claims allowed prob ably would call for something llko $.", f")0,0(0.
