ENTIRE GUARD MAY GO OUT Outlook Becoming Hourly More Critical Lackawanna Quiet After Sheriff Asked for Martial Law Proclamation Soldiers Keeping Watchful Eye for Dynamite Throwers. WILKESBARRE. Pa.. Sept. 24. The entire Third Brigade of the Pennsylvania militia, numbering over "3,000 men, is expected to be In the field tomorrow. Today the Ninth Regiment, Col. C. B. Dougherty commanding, was added to the 'forces, and it is General Gobin's plan to call out the eight companies of the Fourth Regiment which have not yet seen duty in this strike and Bat tery C, of Phocnlxville. He will then have under his command in Lacka wanna, Luzerne, Schuylkill, and Carbon counties some 3,200 men. Despite the force now in the field and the certainty that the State adminis tration win continue to send troops as long as they are -necessary there was no decrease in the violence today. The scene merely shifted. In Lackawanua county, where the lawlessness of Monday caused the call ing out of the Thirteenth, there was comparative quiet. In this county the disturbances continued until well toward morning, and spread to the Schuylkill district, where a dynamiting and an attack on coal guards is reported. Situation Critical. Inr this county the situation became bo critical- at midnight that Sheriff Ijacobs'.lwho had been at his home in Hazleton. all day, hurried here and Ttound yeVery available deputy was en gaged, and there were constant calls for more. Not only were there insuffi.- scient deputies to answer all the calls, .but several parties of those wiiovhad gone out were in trouble, being prac tically helpless in the face of the large and infuriated mobs. At 2 o'clock this morning, with the situation growing worse, Jacobs wined Governor Stone requesting troans. The morning dragged along, a'nd Until 7 or o clock the appeals for aid and the reports of disturbances continued. At 9 o'clock no word had been received from the governor. At that .hour the superintendents of several coal companies called upon the sheriff and informed him of the condi tions about their works and asked that he again insist upon the troops. He got in communication with Adjutant General Stewart and told him troops were necessary to preserve peace. m Ask for Soldiers. , At 10 o'clock a committee of promi nent citizens, meeting at the board of trade rooms, sent a message to Governor Stone asking for soldiers, and shortly bifore noon, when the order camp, Colonel Dougherty had arrangements prepared for speedily mobilizing his command, aid early in the afternoon the city companies were gathered in their armory and the out of town com panies in theirs ready to be called or sent to various places as required. Tomorrow it is expected they will take the fleid and will probably be sta tioned at West Side Park, opposite this city. In the center of the valley and be side the trolley line, which can take them quickly to, any point north or south. A long rain all day did much to aid the authorities in keeping order through out the valley, compelling the crowds to disperse, but not to relax their picket ing of the mines. The trouble at AVanamle, which started early last evening, developed after mid night into a very serious affair. The deputies first sent to the scene were unable to manage the crowd, and as It grew in numbers and recklessness an extra force of deputies was sent to the cene. Two Cars Derailed. The strikers -had placed obstructions upon the tracks and the two cars car rying the deputies were derailed. Pre viously the strikers had wrecked a coal train on the same road by opening a switch and they later added to their deviltry by throwing two dynamite bombs over the stockade of the No. IS colliery. They did no barm, however. At rvanucone jonn waselewsin was stabbed in three places and dangerously Injured, and a score of others were as saulted, some seriously, while several bouses were stoned and officers who tried to enforce order were attacked. A serious conflict occurred between strikers and deputies near Frceland. There were -some two thousand strikers In two parties which surrounded the upper Lehigh colliery on the north and south approaches and drove off the workers. Crowd Driven Back. Twenty deputies commanded by Su perintendent A. C. Lelsnerlng and known as the "flying squadron" drove back n- the crowd until close to the borough limits of Frceland, where they made a Itand and stoned and fired at the depu ties and were surrounding them when (Continued on Tiiird Vase.)

STUART DISMISSED FOR STRIKING PATIENT Was the Resident Physi cian at Emergency Hospital. WAS TREATING POISONING CASE Strong Man Rejected Stomach Pump and Was Chewing Doctor's Finger Force Used Caused No Injury to Pa tient, But Violated Rule. Dr. David T. Stuart, senior resident physician at the Emergency Hospital, was summarily dismissed yesterday hy Dr. H. L. E. Johnson, executive oilic-al of the board of directors, for striking a patient brought to him for treatment. Sucli action is contrary to the rules of the institution, and Dr. Johnson acted quickly. Dr. Stuart admitted, both to Dr. Johnson and to the representatives of the press, that lie struck the pa tient. He ma'ntained, however, that the circumstances justified him. Dr. Stuart was notified immediately after dinner of his dismissal. He im mediately began packing his belongings, and at 3 o'clock this morning left for New York city, where he will go into hospital work. Seven days later Dr. Stuart would have ended his, term of service and retired, having served the longest of any physician on the resi dent staff. He had previously arranged to go to New York. His departure this morning was the result of a desire to be away from the hospital and the city before the atmosphere became disa creeable. Regrets His Departure. Dr. Johnson declined last evening to discuss the case at length. He said: "Dr. Stuart lias been a valuable man loathe Institution and I regret exceed ingly Ills departure. However, it does rot seem to the officials of the hospital that a physician is ever justified in striking a patient. Dr. Stuart violated one of our rules, and consequently must go." Dr. Stuart made the following state ment of the case to a reporter for The Times: "It is true that I struck a patient, thereby violating a rule of the hospital, and I feel no resentment toward Dr. Johnson at all for dismissing me. Had cur positions keen reversed I should have done as he did. I have no com plaint whatever to make of the treat ment accorded me, but I know you will agree with mo when, after telling you the circumstances In the case, I say that I was Justified In my artlon. "The patient was a large man fully six feet, perfectly developed and weigh ing close to 200. As you see, I am about .1 feet 7 Inches in height and don't weigh much over ISO. The man was found un conscious nenr E Street and Fifteenth Street northwest, with an empty bottle beside him. The bottle had contained arsenic, a deadly poison. He was brought to the hospital about midnight. I quickly pui him on the operating ta ble and thrust the stomach pump down his throat and washed out his stomach. (Continued on Second Fage.) APOLOGY PROMPTLY MADE Minister 'Bowen Commended for Promptly Hauling Offender to Terms Act No Violation of Rules of Naval Warfare. The State Department was informed yesterday by Minister Bowen that a Venezuelan gunboat had misused the American flag, for the purpose of getting within firing distance of Cludad Bolivar, a small town up the Orinoco River, in the possession of the insurgents. Without waiting for Instructions from Washington, Minister Bowen demanded an immediate apology from the Venezue lan government. After some demurring the apology was granted and the incident closed. An inquiry showed that it is not a vio lation of the rules of 'naval warfare for one combatant to use the flag of a neu tral party for the- purpose of deception, provided the flag is hauled down before the conflict begins. Prompt in Action. Minister Bowen's prompt action Is commended by the officials here, who say that the use of the American flag is certainly a violation of all friendly relations between Venezuela and the United States. By reason of the posi tion of this country with regard to the Latin American countries, and the confi dence of the people of those countries in the United States', the officials claim that the flag of the United States should' be excepted from use by either the revolu tionists or the government forces. It is declared that Its use up the Orinoco River was particularly unwar ranted liberty, because mny of the In habitants of Cludad Bolivar have been expecting an American warship to come to that point to protect American in terests.

After the decision of George R. Shel don, of New York, to withdraw from the race was announced at 2 o clock, many of the delegates sat around the hotel dl.scusslhg it so that even that did not mark the hour at which tuey turned in. The delegates were amazed at the sud den turn of affairs, for up to the time vthat It was announced that the governor was on his way here there was nothing for them to talk about except the Inci dents of former conventions. Senator Piatt an Early Bird. In spite of the fact that he was kept awake until an .early hour this morn ing. Senator Piatt was one of the first of the delegates to arrive at his seat in the convention hall, and though mriny of the Republicans had a bit of sand in their eyes, they all were on hand with reasonable promptness, ready to take their places. Mr. Lauterbach read the report on platform. As he read the opening sen tences alluding to the assassination of President McKlnley the delegates cheered, and when he rend the sentences indorsing tho administration of Presi dent Roosevelt and pledging to him "to far as this convention has the power, the earnest of the Republican party of this State" to bring about his election In 10-1, the cheers were renewed. Governor Odell's name was the signal for more demonstrations of npproval, and the trust plank got a good welcome from the delegates and the galleries. Reciprocity With Cuba.

Pittsburg Millionaire Sends General Botha a Check for $100,000 To Relieve Misery. LONDON, Sept. 24.-The gift of J100.- 000 made by Mr. Henry i-nipps, 01 me Carnegie Steel Company, is the first re sponse to the appenl of the Boer gen erals to tho civilized world" tor aid to: the distressed Boers. Writing to General Botha from Beau fort Castle, Beauly, Scotland, Mr. Phipps said that during the South Africau war he and his family followed Its course with anxious hearts, hoping for a jun ending. Now that it Is over, ho hoped that contentions would be buried. He believed that it was his duty to send something to relieve suffering. He desired that the temporary misery of the women and children should be relieved, but that nothing be done thnt could be Justlv described as unfriendly to Gr.-Jt Britain. He hoped that General Dolnrpy would be one of the three responsible for the disbursement of the money. Accepts Gift. General Botha, in reply, said that It was with the greatest pleasure that he accepted the generous and unexpected gift, which would contribute Immedi ately to make thousands of unhappy peo ple the happier. General Botha suggested that In addi tion to General Delarey one of the other members of the committee to disburse the money bo chosen from the present chief Justice or attorney general ai the Transvaal, or the lieutenant governor of the Orange River Colony. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, at the Instance of Mr. Arnold White, who made the offer on behalf of Mr. Phipin, ha3 consented to name an Englishman as a member of the committee. SOME POLITICAL VIEWS. tT How President's .Return Here, Instead of to Oyster Bay, Is Regarded. The decision of Mr. Roosevelt to come to this city to pass the period of his convalescence In the cramped qarters of the temporary White House.wh-sn he pnni.t'hnvn nR readfiv nroceeded to Ova- ter Bay and have had the comforts and conveniences of his own home, with his family about him, has occasioned some curiosity as to the rpason which so im pelled him. Though the President's de sire to be here' for the review of the parade at the coming Grand Army en campment has been generally accepted as the main motive for his coming at once, the view is advanced in well-Informed circles that events will show weightier reasons than the" President's wish to show his personal appreciation of the services of the veterans. Locally tho popular interest centers In the naming of the new District Commis sioner, in succession to the late Hon. John W. Ross. Personal interviews with Mr. Roosevelt will probably be entirely tabooed. In order to give him the rest wHich the attending physicians says Is Imperative to "rapid recovery, but this fact does not discount the impression that the settlement of the struggle is imminent and that an appointment may be expected before the week is out. Little reliance is placed in the s'ory of a few days ago that an extra session of Congress is to be called for early next March to take up several of the bothersomcpoitlcal issues of the present Congrcss'ion'tl campaign. That such a urogram would be very acceptable to some of the party leaders Is well under stood, since it would perhaps sufficiently offset the Democratic contention of con tinued delay regarding tariff changes and the trusts. Notwithstanding the fact that It has been stated on good authority that such a session will be called.'those in a position to know the facts believe that the basis of the prediction was a certain well-known Republican Con gressman's desire for such an extra ses sion to exploit the views which he is known to hold on one of the leading is sues. It can be stated, however, that the President himself has not given the matter any definite consideration at all, and that consequently he has not ar rived at the decislbn credited to him. N L Vi NOMI NATION To Run for Congress, in the Third Iowa District. ' WRITES OF TRUST PROBLEM Makes No Reference "to Withdrawal From Race of Speaker Henderson- Little Difference Between Parties on the Tariff. DUBUQUE, Iowa, Sept. 24. Former Gov. Horace Boies, nominated by the Democrats to oppose Speaker Hender son in the Third Iowa district, issued his letter of acceptance tonight. He makes no reference to Henderson's with drawal. He finds little difference between, the tariff views of Iowa Republicans, as ex pressed in the State platform, and the position of the Democrats. He says the futility of legislation other than tariff reduction In restraint of combination by either expressed or implied agreements and fixing the price at which their owa products shall be sold.

President Roosevelt returned at 6:30 o'clock. last evening from his suddenly terminated Northwestern trip and took up his official residence at the temporary White House. Mrs. Roosevelt, who had been anxiously awaiting him; at the Sixth Street station, greeted her husband on board the train as soon as it had come to a "stop. The President was in the utmost good spirits, and'felt confident of his early and complete recovery from the operation ot Tuesday. When carried from his train to the station platform, he responded warmly to the enthusiastic greetings of those awaiting him, and remarked: "I am not as bad off as I look, gentlemen." After being put to bed at the tempo rary White House, the President de clared he was very comfortable, and 6e- ' gan reading "The Virginian," by Owen Wister, one of his personal friends of college days, and a well-known author.

The Presidential special, which had started from Jersey City only last Fri day afternoon for the long Northwest ern trip, pulled into the Sixth Street station at 6:30 o'clock last evening, the journey ended. Mrs. Jtoosevelt, apprised at Oyster Bay " of her husbsnd's illness, had reached the same station at 3:40 o'clock and was met by Dr. Presley M. Rixey, U. S. N., and t-er social secretary. Miss Isabelle Hagner. Mrs. Roosevelt was accompanied here from Oyster Bay only by a maid. The party of four was drlyen directly to the temporary White House, which Mrs. Roosevelt then saw for the first time, as when she left Washington last June the President was still In the White House proper. At 6 o'clock Mrs. Roosevelc returned to the station to await the coming ot the Presidential special. A wicker chair was carried: to the platform for 1 er, nnd during the tedious wait of a half hour she conversed with Secretary Mcedr. Dr. Rixev. and Dr. Urie. Later Secretary Hitchcock also arrived. When the train came to a stop on the track nearest to the Sixth Street side, where the carriages were in wait ing, the President was seen propped up on pillows near a window. His hands were clasped Lack of his head In an apparently restful attitude. Mrs. Roosevelt immediately entered the President's car and remained there for ten minutes. At 6'42 o'clock Secretary Cortelyou escorted her to the White House carriage and then returned to the car. Almost immediately the President was carried out and down the car steps by Drs. Lung, Rixey, and Urie. Mr. Roosevelt's weight was so evenly distributed that there seemed to be not the slightest difficulty In carrying him. Both legs were extended stiffly, and on the left foot a slipper took the place of the shoe. The unusual helplessness of the Presldeut caused him to reassure sev eral of those whom he recognized on the platform hat he was not really in as bad trim as his appearance seemed to indicate. He was placed in a rolling chair. In which he was able to recline comfortably, and amid the plaudits and verbal greetings of a large number ot people was wheeled toward the car riage, where Mrs. Roosevelt was wait ing for him. The President smiled and doffed his hat, even from his recumbent position, nnd shook hands with one enthusiastic man whom he recognized In the front row of people. A few moments later the President had been lifted into the carriage, and with Mrs. Roosevelt alone with him was soon on his way up Pennsylvania Avenue to the temporary White House. Several hundred people had crowded into Sixth Street, and they gave th President a hearty cheer as his car riage drove by. AT THE WHITE HOUSE. President Safely Installed in His Tem porary Residence.
