YANKEE CUNS Oil HE Of IB M'CREA ACTS PROMPTLY. Gunboat Arrives at Cap Haltlen In Nick of Tim. Interests of All Clatiea Guarded. Thn strong arm of tho United States was thrust Into the Haltlcn revolution Tuesday for the pitrpiwo of protecting the foreigners resident In Cape Haltlen ai well as other non-combatants. Ad rices have been received from Com mander McCrea, the captain of the gunboat M noli la. That vessel was ' ordered to the scene of the trouble ap parently In the nick of time for when she arrived Commander McCrea found the city In the hands of an unorganiz ed mob. His cable dispatch on the subject of conditions Is as follows: "Affairs are very disturbed. Unor ganized mob In the city. Foreign Con suls have been threatened. Will give protection on board. I will prevent bombardment without due notice." The officers in the Bureau of Naviga tion, when they received that message, were In doubt as to the Commander's right to use forco to prevent the bom bardment, so they consulted Dr. Hill, the Acting Secretary of State. Tho doctor assured the doubting officers that the Captain of the gunboat would undoubtedly be upheld In any effort that he might make to prevent the shedding of Innocent blood by the forces of either party now struggling for the possession of the government of the republic. The State Depart ment had no hesitation In fully ap proving the energetic action of Com mander McCrea In taking care of the foreign consuls and In preventing a bombardment without warning. The American and foreign Interests In Cape Haitlen are large and 'an Ameri can Captain Is required by an un written law to look after the life and property of other foreign residents as well as Americans In such cases. It Is said that the rules of International law, as well as the dictates of human ity, requires that proper notice be given before a bombardment In order that women, children and non-combatant may leave the town and carry oil their personal belongings. The Navy Department fuels that the Machtas Is sufficiently large for the work at hand. The Machias Is a vessel of 1,177 tons, carrying eight Four-Inch rapld-flro guns and a crew of 11 officers and 14:1 men. While not many men could be spared for a landing party, the vessel undoubtedly could lie In the anchorage and cover the town with her guns. Arrested for Alleged Swindle. Edward E.

It Is semiofficially announced that tho Russian minister of finance ex pects replies In Ihe negative from the powers on the note regarding Interna tional action against trusts. When such replies are received the Russian government will affirm that any In crease In duties on Russian sugar will be regarded as an Infringement of ex isting treaties, and If such Increase Is enforced the Russian government con siders Itst-lf free to disregard its treaty stipulations. The ministry of finance does not propose to tako ac tion against the powers collectively. M. Routkowsky, financial agent of the Russian government In the United States, has been instructed to com municate to tho American press that In case of thn negative answer of pow ers to the note and the estaoilshment of a countervailing duty on Russian sugar, the Russian government will consider the establishment of such a duty as an Infraction of Its commer cial treaties with powers so doing, and therefore free from obligations Imposed by them and at liberty not to comply with their stipulations, whenever It will be to the advantage of Russia. Many of the American newspapers, Routkowsky explained, have Interpreted tne note as a move on the part of the Russian government to Inaugurate a European coalition against American trade. Such an un derstanding, he declares, is entirely Incorrect and does tho Russian gov ernment an Injustice. In retaliation for the countervailing duty against Russian bounty sugars Imposed by the UnlteJ States, Russia now imposes her maximum tariff rates. The object of the stutement Issued Is to show that Russia Is not engaged In any effort to wage a campaign against American trade, but to make plain to the parties to the llrussels conference that the Imposition of countervailing duties against Russian sugar will be met as It was In tho case of the United States.

One other officer and about 20 of the strik ers wero wounded. The condition of the injured strikers Is not known, as they were hurried away by friends. A reign of terror, compared with which the scenes enacted during the riots of 19D0 seem insignificant, held the town In its grasp. From 6 o'clock in the evening Center street, which is one of the principal thoroughfares of the town was In the hands of an Infuriat ed mob. Sheriff Bedall arrived from Pottsvllle at 7:45 o'clock with a pos se of deputies. He took up his head quarters at the Ferguson hotel, which was soon surrounded by several thou sand men. bherlff Bedall wired to Gov. Stone to send the mllltla. The Governor answered that If the citizens of the town petition for troops he would send them. The trouble start ed when Deputy Sheriff Thomas Be dall attempted to escort two non-union workers through the strikers' line of pickets. The workmen were dressed In their street clothing, but one of them carried a bundle under his arm, and this aroused the suspicion of the strikers. The bundle was torn from him, and when It was found to con tain a blouse and overalls the man was taken from thn deputy and beaten almost to death. In the meantime Be dall opened fire on the mob which had gathered and emptied his revolver. Two of the shots took effect, one man being shot In the leg and the other In the foot. The deputy and the other strike breaker wore now compelled to nee for their lives, and took refuge In the Philadelphia and Reading de pot. The depot was soon surrounded by an angry mob of 5.000. which was becoming more threatening and dem onstrative every moment, Joseph Be dall. a hardware merchant and broth er of Deputy Thomas Bedall, was seen making his way through the crowd In an effort to reach his brother, and the mob, devlnlng that he was carrying ammunition to those lnsldo the depot, seized him and beat him with clubs and billies Into Insensibility. He died en route to the miners' hospital. Short ly after this the entire borough police force arrived on tho scene and escort ed the deputy shernf and his man to an engine which had been backed In to the depot for thnt purpose. When the mob realized that their prey was about to escape, they surrounded the engine. Stones were thrown thick and fast about the heads of the police. whereupon Chief John Fry gave the order to fire. It is estimated that up ward of 1,000 shots were tired and tho wonder is thnt more fatalities did not result. More than 20 strikers, all of whom were foreigners, were shot, and at least two of them will die. The Third Brigade consisting of the Eighth and Twelfth Regiments and the Governor's troop under command of General Gobln have been ordered to Shenandoah.

Vatican to Have Orders Out of Archl pelago When Moment Comes to Resume Negotiations. The "Observatore Romano, ' tho Vatican organ, at Rome, Italy, repro duces an Interview with the Rt. Rev. Thomas O'Gorman, bishop of Sioux Falls, 8. D., concerning the Taft nego tiations. He says that those negotia tions were happily ended, and adds: "The gift of the pope to the President Is proof that all was concluded accori Ing to the ues I res of the Vatican." Ac cording to statements, It Is the Inten tion of the Vatican that the four branches of Augu utana Dominican, Franciscan and Recolleto orders now In Manila, who number about 450 men, Bhould leave there In small numbers at different times, so that when the mo ment comes to resume negotiations be tween Governor Taft and the apostolic delegation all the friars will have left the archipelago In such a way that the friar question will have solved Itself without the necessity of further dis cussion. The foregoing plan Is in terpreted as a late, but significant, rec ognition by the Vatican that becre tary of War Root's first proposition made to the Vatican through Governor Taft were the most liberal that could be devised for the settlement of thn question. The Influence of religious or.l ers in Rome must bo reckoned with, however, should they think It to their interests to resist these measures.

Fuel Shortage Only Cloud On the Hor Izon Farmers, Manufacturers and Trade Branches Active. R. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Aside from neavy rains In Texas the week's crop news Is en couraging. Manufacturing plants are well occupied, as a rule. Iron and steel . leading, followed by textiles and foot wear. Fuel scarcity Is still causing delay, although coke ovens are sur passing all previous figures of output and bituminous mines are vigorously operated. At most points retail trade is active and preparations continue for heavy fall sales, while spring lines are opened with good results. , Rail way earnings thus far available for July show a gain of 3.3 per cent over 1901 and 20.8 per cent, over 1900. With business In sight for at least a year the leading departments of the Iron and steel inquiry may properly be considered prosperous. Notwith standing the rapid Increase in produc ing capacity, consumptive demand has grown still faster and the recent official report of a new high record of pig Iron production at 8,808.574 tons for the first half of 1902 Is accompan ied by the statement that unsold stocks at the end of that period were only 29,861 tons, compared witb 372, 660 tons a year previous. The first month of the second half of 1902 baa brought no diminution In Inquiries, but some decrease In output owing to scar city of fuel. Imports are very large In order to keep the steel mills pro vided with material, and offerings of foreign billets bave checked the up ward tendency of prices. Of engines, machinery and heavy hardware there is a serious shortage, orders for de livery in 1902 being out of the ques tion. Steel rail and structural mater ial contracta have been booked far ahead. In textile manufacturing the feature was opening of men's wear worsted fabrics for next spring, witb a general advance of 2 to 10 cents. Cotton goods tend In favor of purchas ers, owing to the prospect of a large cotton crop, and the light export movement. Shoe shops are active on spring samples and buyers are numer ous in the Boston market. A very striking advance in leather this week has followed the upward movement of hides, stimulated by heavy purchases. single sale of 100,000 sides of hem lock sole being reported. Hides bave made further sensational advances, Colorado steers reaching new high record prices. Grain prices declined sharply as the month of speculative manipulation drew to a close and le gitimate trading resumed a more nor mal volume. Meats bave shown a tendency to seek slightly lower quo tatlons, but light receipts and poor quality do not promise any extensive relief in the immediate future. Bradstreei's says: Wheat. Includ ing flour, exports for the week ending July SI, aggregate 4.388.534 bushels, against 3,980,969 last week, and 6.433.. S91 in this week last year.
