TENSION INCREASING
AT SHEMNDOAH
Unsettled Condition of Affairs for
the Last Few Daus In the
Region Continues.
RIOTING LITHUANIANS
ARE UNDER ARREST
Two of the Strikers Engaged in tho
Disturbances of Last Week Are
Captured The Two Men Were Lo
cated in the Heart of the Foreign
Districts of the Town Escorted to
Prison by Soldiers They Are
Identified by Police.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Tress.
Shenandoah, Aug. 5. The peace of
this troop protected town remains un
broken. The unsettled feeling which
has been apparent for the last few
days, however, continues. It was a
lively day at brigade headquarters
where all the staff officers were kept
busy In connection with the movement
of the troops and In keeping In touch
with the situation in the entire coun
ty. There were many rumors of
trouble but excepting at Glrardville,
where a workman was shot and slight
ly injured, nothing of a serious nature
occurred any where.
Brigadier General Gobin was un
usually alert however and kept soldiers
In readiness for instant use all day
long. Many stories of threatened
trouble reached him but he was able
In every instance to run them down
without sending out a detail of men.
Officers around headquarters feel that
the tension is Increasing and would not
be surprised if some of the troops now
in camp here were sent into the sur
rounding region. The brigadier general
says he will not send for additional
men until there is need for them. It is
not unlikely, however, that a battery
and another troop of cavalry will be
in the field by the end of the week.
Probably the mbst important develop
ment in the Shenandoah region today
' yas the arrest and commitment to the
county jail of two wounded Lithuan
ians who participated in the riot of
last week. Their arrest was attended
with a considerable show of military
force they being taken "into custody
by constables who were surrounded by
a platoon of infantrymen and were
taken through the streets under a
Btrong guard.
The prisoners arc Anthony Klimovitz
and Stanislaus Zukowski. Each had
Leen shot in the foot during the riot
and was unable to walk. They were
located In hoarding houses in the heart
of the foreign quurters of tho town.
Trouble Was Feared.
The constables feared that trouble
would ensue if they attempted to make
the arrest themselves, and, upon their
suggestion, General Gobin sent a pla
' toon of Company I, of the Twelfth
regiment, to protect them. The sol
diers formed a line around the houses
and the two Lithuanians were carried
from the houses and placed in an open
wagon.
'By this time, u crowd of foreigners
of different nationalities had gathered
around the soldiers and followed them
and the prisoners to the office of Squire
W. H. Shoemaker, where the prisoners
were given a hearing. AVhllc the hear
ing was In progress, the platoon kept
the crowd some distance from the
place. The Lithuanians, along with a
fellow-countryman named Waldo Row
inskl, who was arrested late Saturday
night on the charge of being a partici
pant in ther lot, were then arraigned.
The principal witness was Thomas It.
Beddall, a deputy sheriff, who was in
the riot. He Identified the men and
testified to having deliberately shot
Klimovlti! and Sukowskl, wounding
them in tho feet. Tho three men wore
then held in $200 ball each and in de
fault they were ordered taken to the
jail at Potlsville.
They were quickly taken to a closed
carriage and surrounded by the infan
trymen, they were rapidly driven to
tho Pennsylvania railroad station, tho
soldiers being compelled to run to keep
up with the carriage. Along one sldo
of the station Is a high hill, and this
was practically covered with about one
thousand persons, nearly all foreigners,
Between tho station and the hill a
whole company of soldiers were drawn
up, facing tho throng, ready to frus
trate any attempt at rescuing the
prisoners.
Tho transfer of tho Lithuanians to
the train was quickly made and the
crowd then dispersed. Another Lith
uanian was to have been arrested to
day, but ho could not be found.
Colonel Theodoro P, Hoffman, of the
Eighth regiment, and Captain Ott, of
tho Governor's Troop, gave a dress
parade In town at B p. m as a compli
ment to General Gobin, Practically
the whole town was out to see tho
parade. Tomorrow afternoon, Colonel
Clement, of the Twelfth regiment, will
tender tho brigadier general a similar
compliment,

ed they hnd been sent from Pottsvlllo
to procure the draughts of some ma
chinery. They were then on their way
to the Reading railroad station to
board the 6.10 train for Pottsvllle.
While the three men were making
this explanation the crowd surrounded
them and one of the mob took the
paper from the bundles which they
carried, revealing a dinner pall nnd
overalls. Immediately the three men
were knocked down and were' beaten,
kicked and stoned. The deputy sheriff
says he attempted to read the riot act,
but the paper was torn from his hands.
He drew his revolver and fired over the
heads of the mob. The rioters fell
back for a moment and Beddall and
the three victims succeeded in reach

The mob stormed the station, but
the deputy sheriff held the rioters at
bay until the' arrival of the borough

Vaughn and Bennet were placed on a
locomotive and taken to Mahanoy City.
The deputy sheriff says he did not

brother, Joseph Beddall, had been fa
tally assaulted while trying to assist
him.

FAREWELL AUDIENCE
OF RAMPOLLA
Tho Cardinal Instructs Head of
Domiuicians, Who Is Returning to
Manila Father Paya Says the
Priests Will Not Go Back to Par
ishes Needed in Church Schools.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
. Rome, Aug. G. Cardinal Rampolla,
the papal secretary of state, gave a
farewell audience today to Father San
tiago Paya, ptovinclal of the Domini
cans in the Philippine islands, who will
leave on Thursday for Manila. Father
Paya will go by way of Spain and ,the
United States, and expects to arrive
at Manila by the end of September.
Cardinal Rampolla in his conversa
tion with Father Paya limited him
self to the statement that religious
questions in the archipelago would be
settled satisfactorily to all concerned.
Father Paya, in a private conversa
tion, expressed doubt as to the, entire
elimination of the Spanish friars of the
four orders under discussion, although
the total number of them In the Philip
pines has been reduced to 300. The
Augustintans are the most numerous,
but the American friars of that order
are few In numbers, and, according to
Father Paya, do not wish to leave the
United States.
Continuing, the Dominican provin
cial said that members of his own or
der in the Philippines had already been
reduced to tho number absolutely ne
cessary to carry on the schools In their
charge, and that they had no desire to
return to parishes, which they had
never occupied In largo numbers. It
would be difficult to replace them In the
schools, he said, as a special knowledge
of local dialects is required In order to
teach tho natives.

Ryan, who returned today from his vis

regard to his attitude on the question
of the retention of the friars in tho

He said: "My position in regard to
the friars in the Philippines is not that
they should be expelled, but that they
should be left to the pope and their
generals to be exchanged for members
of their orders of other nationalities,
especially Americans, when this can be
effected. I believe that tho opposition
of some of tho Filipinos arises from the

natorial Candidate.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
MUST BE SUSTAINED
Pennsylvania Should Proceed in a
Way That Will Detract Nothing
from the Strength of the Adminis
tration Interesting Interview with
the.Distinguished Ex-Minister and
Cabinet Member Is Heartily in
Favor of Pennypacker, and Will
Take Stump.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Philadelphia, Aug. 6. The fact tha(
the Republican party Is united In sup
port of Judge Pennypacker is being
demonstrated every day. Hon. Charles
Emory Smith, postmaster general in
the cabinet of McKlnley and Roosevelt
and editor of the Philadelphia Press,
Is the latest distinguished Republican
to add his voice to the Pennypacker
volume. He will be heard later on tho
stump. (
The Philadelphia Press has alway-3
been noted for itg independent Repub
lican leanings; this year it Is support
ing the Republican ticket with all the
virile force of Its editorial page.
Your correspondent had a lengthy In
tervlBw with General Smith yesterday,
Besides being a former minister to St,
Petersburg and member of the cabi
net he is one of the best posted men on
great national Issues In this or any
other state. In his interview, which
follows, the ex-postmaster general ex
pressed himself with great earnestness
and vigor. Ho said:
Wants the Party to Stand Together.
For nearly four years prior to last Jan
uary, I was practically out of Pennsyl
vania politics. AVhile at Washlngtan, in
tho cabinet, I could not actively partici
pate In stato movements, dn my return
In January to rcsumo my placo among
tho nctivo Republicans of the state, I was
exceedingly anxious that tho party should
net In such- a manner jthat-alLRepubHc-ans
of every shado could stand together
in its support.
It was Important on broad national
giounds that tho Republican organization
of Pennsylvania should tako this posI
tlon. It Is a transition time. The events
of tho past four years have put the party
on a new trial. AVhilo not relinquishing
its devotion to tho economic, financial
and moral principles with which Its past
history has been Identified, tho advance
of tho republic to now obligations and
now responsibilities In tho world has sur
rounded tho nation and tho party in con
trol with now conditions. It is vital that
tho ability of tho party to meet a now sit
uation should bo demonstrated and that
its hold on public confidence should not
be impaired.
A Critical Situation.
Tho situation is crltlcnl in another re
spect. President McKlnley had passed
away and President Roospvelt had taken
tho helm. Tho accession of a vlco president-
to tho presidency under such cir
cumstances has always heretofore been
maikod by tioublo and conflict. In eycry
caso except immediately nfter tho war
when tho southern states did not partici
pate in tho election. It has been followed
by political jevulsion. President Roose
velt's patriotic continuation of President
McKlntoy's .policies nnd tho great abil
ity, courage and fidelity wlch which ho
has addressed himself to tho highest In
terests of tho people, havo made tho sit
uation different from all previous succes
sions. But no risks should bo taken and
the Republican organization should be as
wise and true as tho president in holding
the ship steadfast on her course
AVhilo tho Republican party is thus
swinging to a now position nnd facing
now and broader questions, it would ba
disastrous if Pennsylvania should do any
thing that would weaken the movement.
Tho country and tho party must become
as fixed nnd stublo on tho now lines as
they wero In tho old. It was this reason
which niado it specially Important that
tho Republican organization of Penn
sylvania should proceed In such a way as
to mnka no division nndrdetract nothing
from tho strength of tho administration
nnd tho national position of tho party.
Pennypacker Has Party's Confidence.
This foitunato result was nssured In
tho nomination of Judgo Pennypacker
for governor. That nomination made It
certnln that tho Republicans of tho Btate
would stand togother and that at this Im
portant juncture, when the party faces
tho futuro under now conditions, ltsj suc
cessful career will not bo clouded by any
doubt or any oxtraneous Issues In Penn
sylvania, Judgo Pennypacker possessta
nnd deserves universal confldenco. Ho
jius been distinguished as a learned, fear
lens and uptight Judgo. Ho Is a man, of
on Independent typo of mind who thinks
and acts for himself, and whoso senso oi
light and honor controls all his action
Republicans Everywhere Satisfied.
Tho strength of his nomination is shown
In tho fact that it has practically dls.
iirmed criticism and opposition and has
been accepted by Republicans of all
shades ns meeting the requirements of
tho situation. It is within my knowledgo
that lending Republicans of every patt
of tho country have oxpressed tholr great;
gratification at the wisdom of this action
and their satisfaction that the Republic
ans of Pennsylvania will present a united
tmnl, Tho piesldent, who Is so earn
estly laboilng to meet tho best demands
of tho country and to keep It on tho high
piano of prosperity and progress, la
strengthened by tho responsiveness of the
Republicans of Pennsylvania to tho spirit
of tho times, nnd such a victory as may
now bo expected will uphold his hands In
his good work.
Later in tho Interview General Smith'
said that he exepcted to take the stumc
for Pennypacker this fall. . .
