TROOPS IN CONTROL
NATIONAL GUARD CALLED OUT
TO QUELL STRIKE RIOTS IN
PENNSYLVANIA.
Police and Miners Clash and Fifty
Persons Are Wounded, Four Prob­
ably Fatally—Officers of the Mine
Workers Regret the Occurrence and
Fear the Presence of Militia Will
Aid In Breaking the Strike.
Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 1.—Twelve
bundred state troops are camped on a
hill overlooking Shenandoah. Down
In the town where rioters and police
men fought the bloody battle all is
quiet and the indications are that so
long as the militia remains the peace
of the community will not again be
broken. The riot, which caused the
soldiers to be sent here, came like a
flash and was over almost as quick
ly as it had started and since then
there has not been a single case of
violence reported. The tens of thous
ands of idle men and boys in this
vicinity who had been gathering in
large numbers and marching from
place to place, did not repeat their
demonstrations during the day and
the authorities consequently had little
or nothing to do.
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
unjustifiable expense on the state.
The strikers, (through their officials,
are making an effort to have the sol
diers withdrawn.
All the local leaders of the United
Mine Workers deplore the shedding
of blood and the calling out of the
troops. They say the presence of the
soldiers will encourage the operators
to start up their mines and after the
collieries in the Schuylkill district are
put in operation it will only be a ques
tion of time until mines in other parts
of the strike belt resume, for the min
ers of the Wyoming and Lackawanna
valleys will not be content to remain
Idle while their brethren in other parts
of the region are working.
It is the history of past coal strikes
that the presence of the militia is al
ways an indication of the early re
sumption of mining.
Those of the local operators who
could be seen are of the opinion that
the backbone of the strike is now
broken and that it will only be a short
time until there will be a general re
sumption of mining.
8T0RY OF THE BATTLE.
Thousand Shots Exchanged and Many
Persons Wounded.
Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 1.—The first
fatal rioting in the coal region since
the great anthracite coal miners'
strike was declared took place here.
A thousand shots were exchanged,
and fifty casualties resulted.
The bloodshed started with a clash
In which a nonunion worker was beat
en almost to death.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddal was
escorting two mine workers through
the lines of strikers' pickets. One of
the men was jostled and forced to
drop a bundle which the strikers dis
covered contained a miner's blouse
and overalls. The owner was dragged
Into a crowd and kicked and beaten.
Deputy Beddal opened fire and then
fled into the railroad depot, which
was at once surrounded by a mob of
5,000 strike sympathizers.
A cousin of the deputy, Joseph Bed
dal, a leading merchant of this bor
ough, tried to make his way into the
depot. He was beaten into uncon
sciousness and is in a critical condi
tion.
The entire police force of the bor
ough was marshaled at this juncture
and Chief John Frye
Led the Officers to the Rescue.
The police escorted the imperiled dep
uty to a locomotive. The mob pressed
around the engine and then the police
fired a volley.
The rioters fell back long enough
to permit the locomotive to steam
away with Beddal. But the mob re
turned and attacked the police.
Chief Frye gave the order to fire.
At the first volley the mob fell back
and several were seen to fall.
But the throng returned to the at
tack and charged the policemen.
The officers retreated, turning in
their flight and firing at their pur
suers.
Two of the officers were caught and
beaten. One of them, Stiney Yacop
sky, will die.
Policeman Ringheiser was shot in
the hand and back Policeman Lau
ritas was shot in several places and
cannot recover.
Shenandoah physicians have dressed
the wounds of forty of the rioters.
John Fahy, president of the district
mine workers' organization, has issued
a statement calling upon the miners
to do all in their power to preserve
order.
ANNOYING THE TROOPS.
Three Night Attacks Made on the Mil
itia at Shenandoah.
Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 4.—The en
tire Eighth regiment was called to
arms during the night as a result of
three attacks made by a band of men
in ambush who threw stones at the
troops now in camp on the plateau
outside the town. These attacks are
becoming so frequent that Brigadier
General Gobin has decided to adopt
stern measures to end them. A double
guard supplied with ball cartridges
suriounds the camp and the sentries
have been instructed that if the stone
throwing is repeated they must shoot
fcj kill and investigate afterward.
One of the attacking party, a Lith
uanian named William Stopponitz,
is under arrest and is confined in the
guard tent, and the provost marshal
is on the trail of others. It is not
known how many were in the crowd,
but the officers of the Eighth regi
ment believe the number to have been
more than a dozen.
IOWA REPUBLICANS.
Convention Favors Modification of
Present Tariff Laws.
Des Moines, la., July 31.—The Re
publican state convention named the
following ticket:
Secretary of state, W. B. Martin,
Adair county auditor of state, B. F.
Carroll, Davis county treasurer of
state, Gilbert S. Gilbertson. Winne
bago county attorney geneiiil, C. W.
Mullan, Blackhawk county judge of
supreme court, Scott M. Ladd, O'Brien
county judge of supreme court (short
term), Charles A. Bishop, Polk coun
ty clerk supreme court, John C.'
Crockett, Hardin county supreme
court reporter, W, W. Cornwall, Clay
county rauroaa commissioner, &.-A.
Lawson, Bremer.
The platform was adopted without
a dissenting vote. Its interesting fea
tures are:
"That we assert the sovereignty of
the people over all corporations and
aggregations of capital and the right
residing in the people to enforce such
regulations, restrictions or prohibi
tions upon corporate management as
will protect the individual and society
from abuse of the power which great
combinatnons of capital wield. We
favor ikich amendment of the inter
state commerce act as will more fully
carry out its prohibition of discrimina
tion in ratemaking and any modifica
tion of the tariff schedules as may be
required to prevent their affording
shelter to monopolies."
The resolutions heartily endorse
Theodore Roosevelt, especially his
reciprocity relations with Cuba, and
look upon his election in 1904 as "a
foreshadowed event demanded by all
of the people."
NORTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATS.
State Ticket Named and Anti-Railroad
Platform Adopted.
Fargo, N. D., Aug. 4.—North Dakota
Democrats, in state convention, nom
inated the following ticket:
Congressman, L. A. Ueland of Edge
lye V. R. Lovell, Fargo governor, J.
E. Cronan, Fargo lieutenant governor,
M. C. Ginnes, Jamestown secretary of
state, John Quarum, Abercrombie
auditor, J. F. Morrison, Bottineau
treasurer, James McDonald, Grafton
attorney general, M. J. Barrett, Minot
superintendent of instruction, V. Ste
fanson. Grand Forks commissioner
of insurance, F. A. Wilson, Bathgate.
Judge John M. Cochrane of Grand
Forks, the Republican nominee for
judge of the supreme court, was in
dorsed.
The ticket is regarded as one of the
strongest that could be selected, as it
includes some Gold Democrats, a for
mer Populist, and Free Silver Demo
crats.
The platform is pronouncedly antl
railroad. It bitterly opposes the rail
way merger and also has a strong
plank for the higher taxation of the
roads.
MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED.
Strikers and Troops in Galicla Have
Several Bloody Encounters.
Vienna, Aug. 6.—The strike of Gali
cian peasants is at present spreading
to districts which have hitherto not
been affected, and there have been
many conflicts between the peasants
and the military. A detachment of
Uhlans attacked 500 peasants at Poth
ering many of the latter were wound
ed and the soldiers made i.73 arrests.
The prisoners were confined over
night, densely overcrowded in a
stable, and were taken to jail the next
day in a fainting condition, not having
tasted food in twenty-four hours.
London, Aug. 6.—A dispatch to the
Daily Express from Vienna says the
strikes in Galicia have led to twenty
three encounters between strikers and
troops in the last two days. In one
case, according to the correspondent,
13 persons were killed and 118 were
wounded in another case 200 persons
were killed or wounded.
DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
Masked Men Hold Up the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Limited
Dubuque, la., Aug. 6.—Two masked
men held up the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy limited northbound two
miles north of Savanna, 111., at 11:30
Tuesday night. They cut off the
Adams express car, forced the en
gineer to run up the track, blew the
car up and torpedoed the track. When
the torpedoes exploded the engineer
quickly brought the train to a stop.
One man hoarded the engine, ordered
the engineer to run ahead, while the
other man cut the express car. Train
men hurried to Savanna and gave the
alarm and a posse of officers and
citizens armed with shotguns and re
volvers hastened to the scene. The
limited is said to carry a heavy and
valuable express package. It is re
ported that the robbers secured about
$20,000.
AN UNWELCOME SURPRISE.
General Smith Speaks of His Forced
Retirement From the Army.
San Francisco, Aug. 4.—General
Jacob H. Smith, who returned last
Friday from Manila, will spend sev
eral days in this city and then go to
his home in Portsmouth, O. Speak
ing on the subject for the first time
since his arrival, General Smith said
of his forced retirement from the
army:
"It was an unwelcome surprise to
me. I naturally supposed that I would
receive a reprimand, as a result of the
verdict of the courtmartial, but
nothing more. I have always tried to
do my duty in a conscientious man
ner and conduct myself as a soldier.
I am still hi the government's service
and am not at liberty to discuss re
cent personal occurrences. I could
be as readily courtmartialled now as
If I were not on the retired list."
AUSTRALIAN DISASTER.
Scores of Lives Lost in a Mine Ex
plosion.
Melbourne, Victoria. Aug. 2.—So
far sixty-seven bodies have been re
covered from the Mount Kimbla col
liery at Wollongong, where an explo
sion occurred Thursday. The work of
rescue is much hamptred by after
damp in the mine.
MONTANA TREMBLED.
Earthquake Shocks Reported From
Several Points.
Helena, Mont., Aug. 5.—An earth
quake visited Missoula county causing
some slight damage. It lasted about
two seconds, the vibrations being
quick and short.
At Bonner one of the large dyna
mos of the electrical plant was shaken
from its adjustment.
At Clinton the shock was quite
severe, the operator reporting that
several buildings collapsed.
CASTRO'S COURSE UNKNOWN.
Venezuelan Revolutionists Advancing
on Caracas.
Washington, Aug. 4.—The state de
partment has received a cablegram
from Minister Bowen, at Caracas, as
follows:
"The united revolutionary army now
supposed to be about 100 miles away.
The president has not announced
Whether he will make or await attack.
Probably nothing decisive will take
place for a week."
Texas Floods Subsiding.
Dallas, Tex., Aug. 4.—There is no
trouble from floods in Texas now ex
cept in the extreme northeastern part
of the state. Thousands of acres of
the Brazos valley are said to be still
submerged but the waters are reced

TO MAKE A PROTEST.
Delegation of Residents of Trinidad
Start for London.
London, Aug. 4.—A striking contrast
to Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's
optimistic West Indian speech on
Thursday is furnished by advices from
Trinidad to the effect that a deputa
tion is starting from there for London
to make a strong presentation to the
colonial office on the Island's financial
condition.
The party includes influential mem
bers of the legislative council and the
president of the island's chamber of
commerce, who are charged to point
out the inadequacy of the £41,000 re
fund of the immigration tax which it
Is proposed to allot to the island.
The loss on the sugar crop just gath
ered is estimated at £150,000 while
the planters must continue' to lose at
the same rate for an indefinite period
or be obliged to throw 50,000 laborers
on the hands of the government.
The deputation was requested to re
mind Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
that If Trinidad were taken under the
American flag, like Porto Rico, the
sugar estates could be run at a profit.
DEMURRERS ARE FILED.
Another Step in the Suit Against the
Beef Trust.
Chicago, Aug. 5.—The government
suit against the alleged beef trust was
sent a step forward during the day by
the filing in the United States circuit
court of demurrers of the defendants,
both as individuals and as corpora
tions. The demurrers set up at con
siderable length that the complaint on
which an injunction is asked is insuf
ficient. It is maintained that the suit
is multifarious and if allowed to stand
would tend to congest the business of
the court. In specific terms the de
murrers assert that "so much of the
bill of complaint as asks a discovery"
of the several interests of the defend
ants and their business methods "has
not stated such a case as would entitle
the complainant to the relief prayed
for."
THREE LIVES ARE LOST.
Steamer City of Venice Sunk in a
Collision.
Cleveland, Aug. 6.—The steamers
City of Venice and Seguin were in col
lision off Rondeau, Ont., at midnight.
The former boat sank. The Seguin is
in the harbor here now. Three lives
were lost and several people were
hurt.
The steamer City of Chicago arrived
here early in the day with a number of
survivors of the wreck. The mate, a
watchman and a fireman of the City of
Venice were drowned. John Sullivan,
mate of the Venice, is so badly in
jured it is feared that he cannot recov
er. He was removed to the marine
hospital here.
The steamers met bow on in a fog,
the City of Venice going down almost
Instantly.
PRICE OF COPPER TOO LOW.
Hundred and Seventy-five Michigan
Miners Laid Off.
Houghton, Mich., Aug. 4.—The Osce
ola mine shut down No. 5 shaft dur
ing the day, and 175 miners and 40
boys have been discharged. This ac
tion Is in line with a policy of re
trenchment adopted by the BIgelow
Interests because of the present low
price of copper.
Two heads at the stamp mill will
also go out of commission. Operations
will not be resumed until copper ad
vances materially.
TAKES EFFECT IN NOVEMBER.
Ambassador White Tenders His Resig
nation.
Berlin, Aug. 6.—Ambassador White
mailed his resignation to the United
States several days ago. It is to take
effect early In November.
Mr. White's resignation may now be
in the hands of President Roosevelt.
The date set by the ambassador for
his resignation to go into effect was
Nov. 7. He is now at Homburg, where
he is taking the waters and where he
probably will remain till the end of
the month.

DEFEAT FOR REBELS
LONG AND DESPERATE BATTLE
ON THE ISTHMU8 OF PAN­
AMA ENDS.
United States Cruiser Ranger Report­
ed to Have Gone to Agua Dluce to
Bring Wounded Back to Panama.
Colombian Gunboat With Reinforce­
ments on Board Missing and Great
Anxiety Prevails.
Panama, Colombia, Aug. 4.—Tele
graphic communication with San
Carlos was re-established during the
day and General Salazar received a
telegram from San Carlos saying that
some revolutionary officers belonging
to the forces under General Herrera
had passed that town in flight. They
report the defeat of the revolution
ists at Agua Dulce. This news has
not been confirmed and details and
further information are awaited.
The United States cruiser Ranger is
reported to have gone to Agua Dulce
for the purpose of bringing wounded
back to Panama. Definite news of the
engagement is expected when she re
turns.
The government gunboat Boyaca,
which is missing, left here last Tues
day with reinforcements for General
Morales Berti, who Is located near
the port of Agua Dulce. She was at
tacked by the revolutionary fleet and
obliged to retreat. Since that time
nothing has been heard of the Boyaca,
but being faster than the revolution
ary gunboat Padilla, she is believed to
have escaped.
The Boyaca's rudder was recently
found to be in very bad order and the
repairs made to it were conducted
rapidly and not very thoroughly.
General Salazar, governor of Pana
ma, is of the opinion that some ac
cident has happened to the gunboat
which has left her nelpless at sea or
stranded on the coast of some island.
United States Consul General Gud
ger and Captain Potter of the United
States cruiser Ranger have sent cable
grams to Washington asking permis
sion, for th^ sake of humanity, for the
Ranger to search for the Boyaca.
There are over three hundred men on
board the Colombian gunboat and
General Salazar hopes that the Ranger
will be permitted to go to their rescue.
The government gunboat Chuchuito,
which was sent from here with am
munition for General Morales Berti,
could not deliver her cargo because
the port of Agua Dulce had been cap
tured by the revolutionists. Water
communication between the govern
ment troops at Agua Dulce and Pana
ma is consequently interrupted.
General Salazar told a representa
tive of the Associated Press that if
General I-Ierrera's forces were not de
feated within five days he would
march with all the forces he has in
Panama to attack the revolutionary
leader's rear guard.
General Salazar has received a tele
gram from the Colombian minister of
war asking if reinforcements are need
ed and saying, that if so, he will send
them Immediately,
FOR EUROPEAN DISARMAMENT.
King of Italy Will Urge It Upon Em
peror William.
Rome, Aug. 4.—With regard to the
statement in these dispatches, under
date of July 13, that one of the prin
cipal questions of discussion between
King Victor Emmanuel and the czar
of Russia upon the occasion of the
former's visit to St. Petersburg would
be the reduction of armaments, it is
learned that the king's visit to Em
peror William at Berlin the latter part
of this mouth is intended to continue
this same work in the direction of
reaching an international understand
ing in the matter of reduced arma
ments, the king of Italy having been
encouraged in his determination by
the czar, who is ready to reassume
the leadership of the movement he
initiated with The Hague conference.
According to information received
from an authoritative source, the sov
ereigns referred to argue that the time
of European wars is almost over, as
their interests are so great in other
continents that it is now worth while
to fight for a strip of land here and
there in Europe. Consequently the
large armaments which are now in
tended for European conflicts might
be reduced or transformed for the de
fense of colonial interests, the gain
being devoted to the improvement of
commerce and industry and for a col
lective fight against the common dan
ger—American competition.
