Joseph IV'. Hal, a hardware merchant

Shortly alter this the entire borons'
police force nrrived on the sc ui ' nt.,1
escorted the deputy sheriff and his man
to an encine which had been backed
into the d .iot for that purpose. When
the mob realized that their prey was
about to escape they surrounded the
ngino and the eiui:i.ej- was afraid
to move, in a few moments, how
ever, the police (lred a volley, dis
persing tl.e crowd for a brief period,
and the engineer turned on full steam
and not s way with his men. Stones
were thio.vn thick and fast about the
heads of the police, whereupon Cliiel
John Kry n-ivo the order to fire. At
the first volley the mob fell back, and
several were seen to fall. Their re
treat, bov ver, was but momentary.
They turned, and. with revolvers,
stones an 1 even a few shotguns, they
hared on the little bain! of police
men and made them fly for their lives.
The policemen turned in their flight
at short intervals and fired volley af

but the mob seemed thoroughly inl'utl
ateil. and smoking revolvers seemed
to have nn terrors for them. When

TROOPS AWE RIOTERS
Twelve Hundred Soldiers In Camp at
Shenandoah.
Shenandoah, l'n., Aug. 2. Twelve
Hundred state troops are encamped on
a hill overlooking Shenandoah, and
absolute quiet prevails. Hriga
dler Genera! J. P. S. Gobin, of the
Third nriirade, In command of the
troops here, and his staff were on the
scene earl v. The camp is located on
H very hi:-;h hill just outside the town
proper, ami commands a full view of
the town Within the camp lines are
iiavtorcd two full regiments the
tCighth and Twelfth two companies of
the Fourth flesimcnt and the troop of
cavalry.
The mine workers are greatly In
censed over the calling out of the
troops. They assert that this action
was entirely unwarranted and Is an
tinjnstifiable expense on the state. The
strikers, through their officials, are
maV.ng an effort to have the soldiers
withdrawn. The first step in this di
tfrttlon was taken Thursday, when the
following telegram was sent to Gov
ernor Stone:
"We, the undersigned officials of the
Ninth district of the Miners' Union, be
lieve that the request made to you to
end troops to Shenandoah was based
upon exaf geratton : and as wa ar
confirmed In this belief, we respect
fully request you to send, a personal
representative Into this town to Inves
tigate the conditions, and after such
investigation believe that you will .
learn that the presence of the troops i
In this town Is unnecessary and that '-
the order should be revoked.
"MILES DOUGHERTY.

It Is said the Mine Workers' officials
Intend to circulate among the citizens I
of the town for signatures to a peti
tion calling upon the governor to
withdraw the troop 9.
Of the 20 or more persons who were
beaten with clubs or struck by bullets
during Wednesday night's rioting, one
man, Joseph Reddall. died last night.
The four policemen who were shot
and the strikers who were also hit by
bullets will recover. Most of the
wounded strtkers claim they were
merely onlookers.
STONED THE TROOPS
Camp at Shenandoah Attacked Three
Times in One Night.
Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 4. The en
tire Eighth Regiment was called to
arms during Saturday night as a re
sult of three attacks made by a band
of men in ambush who threw stones
at the troops now in camp on the pla
teau outside the town. These attacks
are becoming so frequent that Briga
dier General Gobin has decided to
adopt stern measures to end them.
Last night a double guard, supplied
with ball cartridges surrounded the
camp, nnd the sentries were Instructed
that if Saturday night's stone throwlns
was repeated they must shoot to kill
and investigate nfterwards. One of the
attacking parties, a Lithuanian, ramcd
William Stoponitz, Is under ariest. It
is not known how many were in the
crowd, but the officers of the Eighth
Regiment believe the number to havi
been more than a dozen.
Brigadier General Gobin said he had
issued orders that stern measures be
lal.cn with all such offenders. "1
have ordcicd several rounds of hall
cartridges to bo Issued to each sen
try," he said, "and that the officers ol
the guard be Instructed to have them
used. The guard at the camp will also
be Increased."
The following message from Gover
nor Stone was received on Saturday
by President Kahy, of this distiict oi
the United Mine Workers of America:
"llariisbuig, Pa.. August 2. Miles

This r-'-r.age from the governor
finally disposes of the question of re
moving the troops.
humors of a resumption of work in
tills territory nrp still in circulation,
but. there is nothing to indicate that
these reports have any foundation
whatever. There are in the Slienan
doah district nineteen collieries oper
ated by the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company, which former
ly employed 12,000 men nnd six col
lieries owned by the Lehigh Valley
Coal and Iron Company which em
ployed S.OOO mine workers. Besldef
these there nte several individual col
lieries. The mine inspector for this
district said that where a coal company
desires to pint e a mine in operation it
is compelled by law to notify the mine
Inspector of the district in which tli"
mine is located so that lie can make
an inspection to see whether it is safe
to permit men to enter It. Up to this
time, he said, he had not received the
slightest intimation that the companiei
are about to resume work.
MINF.S DID NOT START

sume Operations.
Wllkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 3. Yesterday

mining in the strike region caused re-
I jolcing at President. Mitchell's head
quarters. nere was some fc.irs that
work might lie started, at tlte Wood
ward colliery of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western Company near Ply
mouth, and a large number of
strikers mid their sympatizers were
stationed In the vicinity, hut when it
became known for a certainly thnt the
mine would not resume the strikers
returned to their homes.
At the offices of the coal companies
the oply Information that would be
given out was that when the operators
got ready to resume work, they would
do so, but how soon that would be they
would not say.
Strikers Apply For Aid.
Shamokin, Pa., Aug.- 5. The head
quarters of the Ninth District, United
Mine Workers were visited yesterday
by hundreds of men asking for aid.
They were accompanied by wives and
children. Orders on stores for provls
Ions were issued only to strikers in
good standing in the union. A number
of applicants who have not worked in
the mines for years tried to obtain aid
but were refused, whereupon, they
threatened to go to work as non-union
men.

1 REDEEMABLE IN FORTY YEARS
Under Piatt Amendment Cuba Cannot
Make a Debt That Revenues of the1
Island Cannot Discharge After De
fraying Expenses of the Government.
Washington. Aug. 5. The state de
partment has received the following
cablegram from Minister Squlers,
dated Havana, August 4:
"The Bouse has passed bill authoriz
ing loan $35,000,000; minimum rate of
Issue, 90 per cent.', maximum Interest.
5 per cent., redeemable tn 40 years."
Under the Plntt amendment the
United States is bound to take cog
nizance of every action of the Cuban
government relating to loans. Article
2 of that amendment provides:
"That said government shall not as
sume or contract any public debt to
pay the interest upon- which, and to
mnke reasonable sinking fund provis
ion for the ultimate discharge of which
the ordinary revenues of the island of
Cuba, after defraying the current ex
penses of the government, shall be In
adequate." No computation has been made to
ascertain whether or not the loan pro
vided for in the bill which Minister
Squlers refers to trespasses upon the
provision of the Piatt amendment, but
It is presumed that the Cuban reve
nues can pay the Interest and provide
a sinking fund beside defraying the
ordinary expenses of the government,
as provided in the amendment. At
Hie same time it will no doubt be
found very difficult to Interpret this
particular provision, as the question
of revenues may fluctuate according
to the conditions in the island. It Is
known that the Intention of article 2
was to prevent any extraordinary issue
of bonds for the purpose of. redeeming
t lie bonds of the socalled republic
previous to the Spanle.h-American war
and the payment of large bounties to
those who had taken part In the In
surrection against Spain. It was In
tended as a check upon the Cuban
government in the matter of incurring
indebtedness, although it carries no
provision Indicating what would lie the
action of the United States should the
Cuban government exceed the indebt
edness prohibited by the amen '"rent.
Neither is there anything f I he
amendment indicating wbtrf-1 f ,n.e
United States would taktnj-uetermlne
whether the Indebtedness was beyond
the proscription, or how it would pre
vent the Incurring of such Indebted
ness. SHOT ON FRONT PORCH -Rum-Crazed
Italian Wounds Two, One
Fatally.
Scranton, Pa., An?;. 5 Six months
ago Frank Jarro, an Old Forge Ital
ian, shot his neighbor, William Repp,
-because the latter cut down a shade
tree on the dividing line between their
properties. Jurro thought ho had
killed Repp anil fled to Italy. Learn
ing that the wound was only superfi
cial, lie returned, nnd Sunday made
his appearance at Old Forge. In the
interim Repp had sued for damages to
his person, secured judgment by de
fault and had Jarro's property sold at
sheriff's sale. The purchaser, Gem
maro Fagello, was sitting on the front
porch last night, holding his 5-year-old
boy ruhls lap. when Jarro came along,
craved with drink, nnd began firing at
him from a SSealibre revolver. A
bullet entered tho child's abdomen
and another struck the father In the
arm. The child Is mortally wounded.
It Is reported that Jarro declared
at several snloons thnt ho would kill
whoever ho found ocrctipylng his
property.
Suicide On the Montgomery.
New York, Aug. 4. Given E. Brocar,
a landsman of the United States cruiser
Montgomery, lying at the Brooklyn
navy yard, committed suicide by tak
ing poison on board the vessel yester
day. It is thought his recent failure to
pass an examination for naval yeoman
caused him to become despondent and
kill himself. Brocar was In his 19th
year, and had only recently been re
cruited into the service. He belonged
to a well-known family of Louis

WESTERN GRAIN RATES REDUCED '
Railroad Presidents Grant Request of
Washington Farmers.
Spokane, Wash., Aug. 5". Grain
rates will he reduced from all points
In Eastern Washington and the reduc
tion will take place in time to benefit
the farmers on this year's crop. The
amount of reduction is nof determined,
but conjecture says fronj one to two
cents per bushel. This announcement
was made by President Mellen, of
the Northern Pacific, at Davenport yes
terday. The occasion was unique In
the history of American railroading.
Three railway presidents, in response
to a petition from the leading farmers
of the Big Bend country had assembled
at the county seat of Lincoln county
to hear their case, plead their own In
terests and present arguments. They
were: President James J. Hill, of the
Great Northern and the Northern Se
curities company, a combination with
securities rated on Wall street at
more than a billion dollars President
S. S. Mellon, of the Northern Pacific,
and President A. L. Mohler, of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Lines
of the Harriman system.
At the armory an old-fashioned
country dinner was served to the rail
way guests and visitors. The presi
dents entered heartily into the spirit
of the occasion. Mr. Hill deposited
his hat under his chair, remarked that
he had not enjoyed himself so thor
oughly In many a day, and rubbed el
hows with a wheat grower from the
Egypt country and another from the
Cedar Canyon camp.
