The 300,000 IJnited Mine Work
ers of America,
Throw Down theGuasre of Bat
tle to the Operators.
(JUIT APRIL 21ST.
The Strike Formally Ordered
After Discussion.
This Course Was Adopted Amid
Great Applause.
CoLVMBCs.Ohio, April 11. The united
mine workers of America have ordered
a general strike April 21. This will re
sult in 300,000 miners quitting work.
J. A. Crawford of Illinois, member of
the executive board, presented the reso
tion to strike. He said from twelve to
fourteen resolutions had been referred
to the committee, but they had decided
lo substitute tvb, one of which was to
strike on April 22. Thia precipitated
prolonged applause . and an animated
discussion.
W. D. Van Horn opposed the date as
serting that the Indiana miners had a
contract with the operators to work until
Mav 12. The operators had asked them
to accept a reduction, but it had been op
posed and the wages have not been re
duced. He was ill favor of suspension
of work May 1.
Joseph . Dunkerly, Btate president of
Indiana, was bitterly opposed to the date.
He also wanted assurance that Illinois
was ready; for if Illinois is not then the
coal operators of that state could , supply
all the states around. The date was
changed to the 21st on account of the
22nd being Sunday and carried amid
great applause.
COKE WAR ON AGAIN.
Scenes of Riot anjl Destruction Renewed
in Pennsylvania Today.
Usiostown, Pa., April 11. War has
begun again in the coke region and the
situation today is most critical. Rioting
und raiding have been the programme
from early morning. An armed mob of
400 strikers assembled at 7:3t today at
the Youngstown works of the H. C.
Frick company near here. Aboat sixty
coke drawers were in the pit when at a
given signal, the strikers swooped down
upon the plant from every direction.
The workers fled for shelter to the
company's store, which was guarded by
only six employes. The 400 Hungarians
demanded that the workmen be given
up. This was refused at first, but after
several attacks the workmen were given
up. They were treated to all sorts of
insults and some of them beaten with
clubs.
Sheriff Wilhelm was notified at once
and started for the scene of trouble. The
rioters had left for the Leisenring's, tak
ing the Youngstown workers with them.
The sheriff gave chase with twenty
deputies, overtook the mob and ordered
them to disperse! ' The leader of rioters
answered them they were' on the public
highway and had equal rights with the
sheriff.
A deputy took charge of one of the
men when the strikers surrounded the
po'sse and forced the authorities to give
up the man. The sheriff's force then fell
back and the strikers continued the
march toward Leisenring. Twenty more
deputies have left here to join Sheriff
Wilhelm. Trouble is inevitable as the
strikers are all armed.
At Youngstown, it is said an attempt
was made to shut off the air from the
mine, which would have resulted in suf
focation and death for the workers.

"WON'T WORK, SO STARVE"
The Condition of Unemployed in Aus
tralia is Becomlnx Besperate.
Vancouver, B. C, April 11. The
latest fiie3 of the Australian papers re
ceived by the steamer Arawa, contain
little else than sensational accounts of
burglaries and labor troubles. In all the
colonies the burglars have organised
themselves into a standing army, and in
Sidney and Melbourne they have been
making night sorties.
In New Soath Wales, South Australia
end Victoria last month, 337 burglars
were captured red handed and brought
to justice. John McKay, 80 years old of
Melbourne, shot and killed a burglar
who broke into his store. Twenty-three
burglars were reported shot by house
holders. The unemployed iu South Australia
and Victoria are becoming desperate.
They appealed to Premier Patterson and
Sir George Dibbs in deputations of over
a thousand. Dibbs replied: "Don't come
bothering me; I have kept you long
enough. Y ou will not break stone for a
living; then starve." Tho deputation re
turned to the city and camped in the
park. They were ordered off and on re
fusing to move, over a hundred were put
in prison.

now about ten inches deep, loading trees
and wires as heavy as they will hold.
All communication by wire is difficult.
Telegraph, telephone, electric light and
police signal wires above ground are
more or less broken, or logged and
crossed.
It is impossible to learn how great is
the extent of the storm in this territory
but from scattering services at hand, the
snowfall seems to be general at this end
of the state and to extend beyond Roch
ester. There is no indication of a let up
yet. -The storm has brought employ
ment to hundreds of men cleaning streets
and railroads.

Elected For i'neiplrod Term, Democrat
Kay He May Hold Four Yearn.

cratic politicians are now claiming that
the term of Gov. Osborne does not ex
pire until January, 1897. If thia prove

Across the Mountains.
Thousands of Coke Workers
Watch Its Departure.
31 ARCHERS NUMBER 300
Another Branch fo Start From
Faneuil Hall v
The Western Industrial Army
Still at Osrden.
Uniontown, Pa., April 11. The de
parture of the commonweal "'for the
mountain trip was made at noon. The
line was well formed and a noticeable
feature was the fact that seven of the
! men who deserted Tuesday night re
joined the columns. There were 300
men in line. The stop tonight will be
near Chalk Hill, eight miles. Scenes of
bedlam occurred in Uniontown last night.
With the jail rilled with coke workers
who are said to be implicated in the sav
age murder of Chief Engineer Paddock,
and the streets choked with thousands of
strikers who are not in the best of humor,
it was feared that the city would be given
up to a night of bedlam. The alarm
was realized to some extent soon after
dark, when commonwealers and coke
drawers got into a drunken brawl .in
front of the McClelland hotel. Officers
were hurriedly summoned and two of
the warriors who had become the worse
for liquor were taken to the crowded
jail.
When the army started out today there
were thousands of miners and coke
workers in town who saw it for the first
time.
With the staff officers well grouped
behind the drummers and fifers, and
with their banners flying at the head of
each commune, the crusaders tramped
over the miserable pavements with no
more friendly greeting to break upon
their ears that the universal exclamation
of, "Well, for God's sake!"
There was no cheering. The wretched
and forlorn appearance of the men stilled
the noices of the strikers, who had come,
it is believed, to jeer the commonweal
ers. . STlLt AT OGDEX.

Court.
Phil Thompson Afraid Miss Pol-
lardjtfiffht Shoot.
Washington, April 11. Col.
Thompson finished his speech
PhiL
today
against Madeline Pollard.
"She was a walking arsenal," said the
lawyer again. "Talk about Kentucky
colonels, and the turning up coat tails
here in this court house to Bee if there
were pistols. Did you see that look on
that woman's face when she came into
the court house. Why, I was afraid to
sit beside the colonel for fear a Btray
bullet might hit me."
Major Butterworth, whose mild man
ner is in great contrast of hia colleague,
began his remarks by expressing gratifi
cation that this trial must soon be brought
to an end. Upon those who were to blame
for bringing it before the public, the
burden must rest.
There was no wrong to be righted by
this suit. Even to save the lives of the
two nominal principals, the incorruptable
judiciary of the country could not afford
to deal with such a mass of contagion,
nor should tbe hearthstones of the coun
try tiave been invaded by it for any pur
pose. He would not use harsh lan
guage to Miss Pollard, but he would that
some had whispered into her ear the
words the Master had said: "Go and sin
no more."
Some people had been solicitous for
fear his (Butter worth's ) had been mis
placed. He had known the defendant and as a
statesman, soldier and a friend, and you
may speed it on the lightnings that to
whom Ben Butterworth was a friend in
the days of his prosperity he will not
turn his back on . in adversity. This
statement was followed by an outbreak
of applause from the spectators.
Judge Bradley leaned forward and
rapped his desk.
"Now you may clear
he said to the bailiffs,
enough of outrages in
No one stirred and
'Every one who is not

"We have had
this court room."
the judge said:
a member of the
bar will have to leave the court room."- -:
Several men got up and started out,
when one elderly spectator inquired:
"Does that apply to members of the bar
from awav; 1 am a lawyer from New
York."
"I take it for granted no attorney would
disgrace a court with such demonstra
tions. All lawyers from outside the city
are welcome here. But there are others
sitting here that are not members of the
bar to my knowledge."
More "men were ushered out by the
bailiffs, but more than half the spectators
remained.

STEELE'S NAME HUNG IT.
The Police Sergeant Not Reappointed by
the Police Board.
The Topeka board of police conimts
sioners met last night as prescribed by
law, and re-elected most of the old po
licemen. Chairman Whiting and Commissioner
Krausa, composed the board at last
night's session, as Commissioner Vount
is sick at his home iu Lowman Hill.
As predicted in last night's Journal,
Sergeant Henry Steele was not reap
pointed, and the commissioners announce
that his appointment is simply withhf Id
pending an investigation.
Officer Capron was reappointed as the
commissioners are determined to keep
him on the force for political effect.
They excuse his re-election by saying
North Topeka people demand his reten
tion, as he is one of the few men who
can control the toughs of Reilmon
ville. It is understood, however, that
the commissioners would readily drop
Capron if they could do so consistently
with .the fight they have made in his be
half. Officers L. J. Darr, C. Whitney and D.
E. Carruthers were not re-elected, al
though it is understood that Carruthers'
reappointment is simply withheld pend
ing an investigation. ,
The commissioners refuse to say why
they did not re-elect the other two oiii
cers, but it is understood that Darr lean
two much towards being a Republican to
be satisfactory to the administration.
Darr says he always was a Republican
until two years ago, he was at the pri
mary to vote the Republican ticket when
his vote was challenged and he then
voted the Populist ticket for spite.
The old officers, with the exception of
those named, were re-elected and U. S.
Davis, who has been acting as a special
policeman, was made a regular patrol
man. Four special patrolmen were placed on
the roll for temporary use in patrolling
the western part of the city, and two
men were named as specials subject to
the call of the chief, who will be iu line
of promotion to regular places on the
force.
Officer Dagg will act as night sergeant
pending the investigation of Officer
Steele.
The following is a complete list of the
present force and the positions the oc

. The state military board was in session
today with all the members in attendance.
The board listened to the complaint of
Second Lieutenant George Blosser of Co.
A, third regiment, with headquarters at
Holton.
The company wants a new commander.
Since last winter that office has bdt.-n
tilled by Lieut. Jacobs. George 11. Barker
had been captain, but he was promoted
to the office of lieutenant colonel about a
year ago. As soon as Jacobs was put in
command, there was trouble and the
company became disorganized. Second
Lieut. Blosser wants a captain appointed
and he would not be averse to accepting
the place himself or have Jacobs re
moved by the state military board.
Last evening a resolution was passed
recommending the furnishing of eighty
stands of Springfield ritles, oO caliber,
and the equipment, to the Emporia r-'tate
Normal cadets, now organised and drill
ing under command of Prof. W. C.
Stevenson.
A resolution was also passed ordering
the adjutant general to proceed according
to the rules governing, and dispose of the
condemned uniforms and guns now in
the arsenal.
