Wilkesbarre, Sept. There is rea-

miners will bring out the worst features
of communism. The agricultural dis
tricts are beginning to feel the effects
Of the lawless demands Of bands Of
them. So-called committees are scat
tered through the country, and
wherever their requests for provisions
are denied force is used. Barns,
orchards, stockyards and cellars are
indiscriminately plundered. Valuable
cows are killed and their hides left
where they were slaughtered. timer
ant peddlers are plundered of their
packs, potato fields are invaded and
their products carried off. Gov. Hart
ranft has determined to place regi-
ment of three months men in the
disturbed districts to cooperate with
the regulars.

The Russians Capture the Last
Redoubt. ....
The Turkish Dead and Wounded Piled
on Each Other. -f...

London, Sept. IA correspondent
who witnessed the storming of the
Notifications at I.ovatz, thus describes
the scene at the last redoubt taken by
the Russians: The ground on the in
side was thickly covered with the
corpses of Turks and Russians, but at
the western end, where the Turks had
been jammed in their efforts to escape,
for the space Of fifty feet by twenty the
earth was covered with Turkish dead
and wounded to the depth of five feet.
The living and dead were lying on each
other in a dense mass, steaming with
heat and blood. Around this Moslem
pile was fringe of dead Russians,
showing that there had been fearful
struggle on this fatal space. The Rus
sian soldiers were standing upon this
mass of humanity. l watched them
working manfully to separate the living
from the dead. In half an hour they
had made scarcely any impression upon
that fearful pile. The retreat of the
Turks was marked with dead and
wounded.
London, Sept. Ga correspondent
who was present at the capture of To-
vatz, estimates the actual Russian at
tacking force at 1000, with one divis-
ion OH reserve, and that the capture
was effected partly by surprise.

WE are not the only people who have
on hand troublesome Chinese immi-
grafton question. The Chinese are
focking to Australia in such vast
hordes that the colonists are alarmed.
In Queensland they are present in such
numbers that the head of the Govern
ment has addressed the Governors of
other States asking for united action to
check the inflow of the Mongolians.
They are invaluable as workers, and
there is not precisely such jealousy OF
them as is felt in California; but in
Queensland they threaten to form a
majority of the population, and much
complaint is made Of the vices they in
troduce. 1t is proposed now to impose
heavy poll tax upon them and to re-
fuse to allow future immigrants to land
unless they are accompanied by their
wives.

THE rifle-shooting at Creedmoor up
to date has been decidedly in favor of
the American team, some of the most
remarkable scores on record having
been made. Gen. Dakin, captain of
the team, has scored 215 out of possi-
BILE 225, the highest ever recorded. Mr..
selph, the New Orleans marksman,
was close behind him with 210. Eight
out Of ten members Of the team have
made 200 points. The British marks
men have as yet done nothing like this.
The visitors, however, are not accus-
toned to the range, and they have been
considerably prostrated by the heat. 1t
is scarcely safe as yet to predict from
the practicing the result Of the great
international contest. We can only
say that the prospect looks very favora.
