By F.Tclusiie Wire from The Associated Press.
Taitinqun, Aug. 27. The situation In
the Panther Creek valley tonight Is
serious. At 8 o'clock the streets of
Lansford and Summit Hill were
thronged with strikers. Early In the
evening, two companies of the Twelfth
regiment were sent through the valley
on a trolley car. All along the line the
soldiers were hooted and Jeered, and It
was not deemed prudent to take them
off the cars.
While Mary Marklcy was carrying
supper to her brother, who Is employed
at a colliery near Lansford, she was
set upon and severely beaten by about
one hundred women. Late tonight the
crowds on the streets have dwindled
down considerably, and order has been
partially restored. The civil authori
ties express the belief that there will
be no serious disturbance during the
night. They are fearful, however, that
a serious clash .will occur between the
troops and the strikers in the morn
ing. The fact that the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation company is hoisting
coal at its No. 4 colliery has greatly
incensed the mine workers, especially
the foreigners, and they are determined
not to allow non-union men to go to
work In the morning. At daybreak,
the Governor's troop and the First bat
talion of the Twelfth regiment will go
to Lansford and Summit Hill. If the
strikers continue to Interfere with the
non-union men. It is probable that both
n the towns will be placed under ,murtlal
i law.
": At Shenandoah.
Shenandoah, AUg. 27. The Govcr-
nor's troop, under command of Captain
Ott, left here at 7.30 o'clock tonight,
on a special train over the Philadel
phia and Reading railway, for Pan
ther Creek valley.
The Second City troop of Philadel
phia, under Captain Sehermerhorn, has
been ordered by Governor Stone to re
port to Colonel Clement, who is in
command here during the absence of
General Gobln.
Major Gearhart,, who Is in command
of a battalion at Manila park, reported
to Colonel Clement today that things
have been in such a state of turmoil in
the Panther Creek region during the
last few days that he has been unable
to cover the dlstrubed district with the
force at his command and asked for
assistance. The colonel at once got
Into communication with Governor
Stone, and it was decided to send the
Governor's troop to Gearhart's assist
ance nji'd to reinforce the command
nere with the Philadelphia troop. The
latter Is expected to arrive here tomor
row morning.
The timely arrival of a detachment
of soldiers on the scene this evening
averted a serious outbreak. A non
union workman named Quinn was at
tacked by a crowd of strikers near the
Cambridge colliery and was being
roughly handled when two of his friends
rushed to his assistance and kept the
crowd back with drawn revolvers. In
n few minutes all three were surrounded
by a crowd of hevernl hundred men and
boys and only the timely arrival of
Provost Marshal Furquhar with a de
tail of soldiers from the Klghth regi
ment prevented serious trouble. The
crowd fell back as the soldiers ap
proached with fixed bayonets and the
three men were hurried to a place of
safety. Several of the strikers follow
ed the soldiers up the street shouting
nnd taunting them and Joseph Pelra
vlch, who ventured closer than the
others was ai rested and taken to the
borough Jail. Hu was afterwards given
u hearing nnd held In $500 bail for court,

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated I'icjs.
London, Aug, 27, President Hoose
velts declarations on trusts and the
Monroe doctrine uro both subjects of
extensive comment In the London press
this morning, Tho discussion on tho
former matter centers less upon the In
trinsic merits of the trust question than
upon the outcome of the presidential
struggle with tho party leaders. All
the newspapers express admiration of
Resident Roosevelts courage avl bold-1
hess, but hesitate to predict the result.
'Tlic Dally News says:
Many chances are on Mr. Rooso-

of. Tho Dally Telegraph contends that
tariff reform would, politically nnd eco
nomically, be the least dangerous and
the most effective way of keeping the
national monopolies In order.
Tho Morning Post and the Dally

characterize as "President Roosevelt's
modified Interpretation of Monroeism,"
which, plainly stated, they declare to
be a sauctiflcatlou of the status quo on
the American continent, and which the

never sought to prevent non-members
from working with them In the mines,
and they had no Intention of seeking to
abridge the right of any mine worker
to become or not to become a member
of the organization In the future. The
miners are on strike for living wages;
and nothing Mr. Hewitt can say will
prove sufficient to divert attention from
the real Issue.
"Mr. Hewitt's fear that I might be
come a dictator and go Into the busi
ness of naming presidents of the United
States, is, to say the lenst, amusing;
nnd were It not for the fact that I
know Mr. Hewitt to bo a serious man I
should think that he was jesting. The
truth Is that the miners' union is a
non-political organization, its members
vote for whomever they choose and If
Lor any other officer of the organiza
tion were to attempt to dictate or even
suggest how the miners should vote, I
should be promptly told that the miners
were abundantly able to judge for
themselves In the exercise of their
sovereign citizenship."

HIS CONING MARKED
BY GENERAL HOLIDAY
His Addresses Xistened to by Im
mense Audiences The President
Meets Bill Sewnll, an Old Guide,
with Whom He Had Hunted Bill
Dines with the President and Gov
ernor of the State Great Jam at
the Bangor Fair Grounds.
By Excluiho Wire from The Associated Press.
Ellsworth, Me., 'Aug. 27. The presi
dent's second day In the Pine Tree stato
was full of Interest. Sturtlng from the
governor's residence at an early hour,
he was taken for a short drive about
the city of Augusta and at 9.30 left for
Bangor, where the principal speech of
the duy was delivered at the fair
grounds In the presence of un Immense
audience, which listened with marked
attention to his address. The same
close attention was given him at
Watervllle, where from fnr and near
came hundreds to see and hear the first
'president who has visited Maine in
many years. In anticipation of his
coming a general holiday was declared
and all business was suspended.
Just before leaving Augusta the presi
dent heard that his old 'guide, Bill
Sewall, of Island Falls, Me., who had
accompanied him' on many hunting ex
peditions and who had for a time been
employed on his ranch In Dakota, was
at Bangor. He immediately wired Con
gressman Powers, at Bangor, to "cor
rall" him and hold on to him until ho
reached that city. That the congressman-carried
out these Instructions wus
fully proven when he produced the tall,
raw-boned, red whiskered hunter upon
the president s arrival.
"I am glad to see you. Bill," said tho
president, whereupon Bill replied:
"You ain't no gladder than I be."
Then It was that the president told
the story of his friendship of many
years with the old guide and hunter,
and how many years ago, while on a
hunting trip through Maine, owing to
the shortage In the meat supply, they
had eaten muskrat together, which, tho
president said, was the last meat he
had eaten In Maine before this trip.
The president seemed to delight in the
rural simplicity of the man, and In
sisted that he should sit down to din
ner with him. BUI, therefore, hud tho
distinction that comes to but few, of
dining with the chief executive of the
nation and the governor of his state at
the same time.
Sewall Has Had Honors.
While at the fair grounds, some one
suggested to Sewall, who was seated on
the platform with the president, that
he should go to Washington and se
cure nn appointment as postmaster,
but Bill had already received this
honor and said to his inquisitor:
"I bd postmaster already."
On the drive through Bangor, the
president's carriage was stopped In
front of the portico of the orphans'
home, where the little ones were as
sembled, nnd they greeted him in song.
Before beginning to speak at the fair
grounds, the president, noticing tho
Jamming and pushing of the crowd In
front of the grand stand, cautioned
the people to be careful of the women
nnd children, and asked them to show
their capacity to manage themselves,
which Immediately had the desired ef
fect. The plutform from which the
president spoke was directly In front
of the grand stand, which wus packed
with humanity. Behind him was an
other dense crowd. He humorously in
formed his uudlenees that lie did not
think he faced both ways, but on that
occasion he would have to. Upon leav
ing the platform, ho drove around tho
race track, In response to cries from
the audience thnt he do so,
Tonight the president dined hero at
the homo of Senator Hale, who nccotn
puuied the party from Bangor, At the
depot, when tho train pulled In, tho
president was escorted to n platform
nearby nnd delivered u short address.
Ho left at 10 o'clock for Nasua, N. H
and other points In that state, where
he will speak tomorrow.
