Recent Conduct of the Strikers Has
Convinced the General That the
Conservative Attitude of the Troops
Has Been Misunderstood by the

Shcnundouh, Ph., Aug. 29. General

nnd made a personal Investigation of
conditions there and tonight issued the
following order:
Hoadquarlcis Third Uiigado. N. O. P.,
Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. -9.
General Orders.
It Is very evident from the recent con
duct of the riotous clement In this sec
tion that the conservative attitude with
which the troops have hcietoforo home
insults has been misunderstood and has
eneomnged this element to lopcutcd as
saults upon the men in the poifornmncc
of their military duty. This can no longer
continue and I have pcisoually Infoimcd
the chief burgess of Lunsfoid and Ta
maqua and directed that Information bo
lurnlshod the authorities of Summit Hill
nnd Coald.ilo that the tio-ins will no
longer submit to Insults or violence from
any source. Yon are theicforc diicctod
to nirest any poison using Insulting lan
guage, epUliels or violence toward tue
tioops while in the performance of their
duty. Have such parties ui rested and
taken to your guard house for future
disposition. In moving tumps place re
liable, competent and skilled marksmen
on tho flunks of the command nnd arm
your tile closers with loaded guns and In
struct them that l,u cast Tiif attack upon
tho column by stones orrnlsdllcs, wheio
the attacking party cannot be reached
the mon thus selected shall carefully note
tho man attacking tho column rind being
certain of his man, lire upon him wltli
out further orders. For tho execution if
this duty select none but absolutely re
liable men who will make no mistake. On
a genoral mob, It resisted, use your bay
onets and butts vigorously, if at all
possible before resorting to volley tiring.
It Is evident that many of the licensed
houses in this community arc simply
places of rendezvous for the riotous and
disorderly element, thus creating them
disorderly houses. You will carefully note
such houses and report the names of the
owners or parties holding thn license to
these headquarters that application may
bo nintlp to tho courts for a revocation of
their licenses.
By command of
Bilgadler General Gobln.

PRESIDENT SHOOTS A BOAR.
He Spends the Day Hunting in the
Corbln Game Preserve,
fly Kxclulc Wire flora llie Associated Press.
Newport, N. II., Aug. 29. President
Roosevelt was today entertained in a
manner to his liking. Instead of mak
ing numeious addresses, meeting com
mittees and indulging In handshaking,
he plunged into the forest of the Cor
bln preserve In the Croydon mountain
region ami hunted big game, and just
before dark succeeded in shooting a
hoar
In a few remarks preliminary to his
tall: here, he hail disclaimed any inten
tion to go hunting, but Senator Proc
tor, who, like tho president. Is a good
t.hot, Induced him to alter his deter
mination. The president arrived shortly after 10
o'clock this foienonn, nnd alter being
driven through the principal streets,
delivered a short address in the public
square. The tow n had an air of ex
pectancy, since the president's coming
had been looked upon as the most rot
able event in its history. No sooner
had he concluded his address than rain
began falling, and the president and
those of his party got a thorough
drenching. The president refused all
offers of umbrellas, saying that his
mackintosh would be sufficient to pro
tect hljn.
'The arrangements Included a visit to
the Corbin mansion, where Mrs. Sor
bin, ,widow of Austin Corbln, received
the president. After a short stay, tho
long procession of carriages moved over
to the home or George S. Edgill, who,
with Mrs. Edgill, entertained the party
at luncheon.
The president was given nn hour's
start ahead of his party in order that
he might visit the club house and don
a hunting costume. Several times tho
party caught up with him, and finally
he and Senator Proctor entered the
woods and became lost to view. Dark
ness was coming on when the party
returned here, and soon after their ar
rival Secretary Cortelyou telephoned In
that the president had shot a boar.
XTpon their return from the woods
they will spend the night nt the duo
house, and it is not improbable that tho
president will again try for large game
early In the morning.

concessions. The light must so on.'"

Is J. PIcrpunt Morgan greater than tho

menacing power?
It Is time that the pcuple should speak.
It Is time that their voice should bo
heard.

Gradual Resumption of Mining Is
Encouraging,
New York, Aug, 29, H, G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Hevlew of Trade tomor
row will say:
"Gradual resumption of anthracite
coal mining Is encouraging, although
the output Is not yet sufficient to huve
any commercial value. Business condi
tions are unsatisfactory at the strike
center, but reports from nil other sec
tions Indicate unusually prompt re
vival ofter the summer vacation season
with exceptionally large operations
among dealers In the agricultural re
gions, Notwithstanding some bad
weather, large vcrops are now practic
ally assured. Manufacturing plants aro
now fully occupied as a rule, the least
gratifying reports coming from fur
naces that cannot secure oke owing
to railway blockades. Iron furnaces
are suspending production because coke
cannot be secured, and It Is evident that
the rate of output at the opening of
the new month will show a serious
loss, Inadequate railway facilities are.
responsible and the situation Is critical.
As the Btocks of pig Iron were very
low at the opening of August, con
sumers are In an embarrassing posi
tion, and there is a growing disposition
to refuse contracts. Imports are In
creasing and numerous plans are re
ported whereby the finished product
may be exported In order to secure tlie
tariff drnwbnck.
"The dry goods jobbing trade reports
a liberal distribution nnd supplies arc
only moderate In the primary market.
Changed conditions In the raw material
have accelerated Inquiries for cotton
goods, Leather Is strong and active
while hides made higher record prices,
but the market has quieted down.
"Failures for the week numbered 173
In the United States against 202 last
year and 14 In Canada against 21 a
