PITTSBURGH, Jan. 20.-Last evening a
carload of uniformed police Was dispatched
from this city to the scene of the riotous

lice were sent in response to q telegram
from Colonel Frick, Of the Morewood and

men will have more effect with the riotous
Hungarians than five times as many officers

the coke strike last night may be summed
up as follows: In Connellsville, Mt. Pleas
ant. Stonerville, Scottdale and Bradford
Districts u total Of 2,772 ovens are idle, or
about oue-third of the ovens in the region
Sheriff Stewart failed to make any arrests,
thinking IL best not to make any attemp
to arrest with his small force. The fugi.
| tives OF Saturday are still free. The Hun
g~arians. numbering about 800 in Mt. Pleas
ant District, are hard TO handle, the women
being worse than the men. These are
very rsvengeful, and will fight to death be-
fore they will be captured. A Hungarian
woman in q drug store yesterday after
noon indicated the feeling OF her country.
men by the remark she made in anewer t.
a question as TO whether she was On q
strike. Said she: "Enelishman have no
money; no strike. Hungarians have
| plenty of money, plenty knife, plenty
pistol to shoot, kill and fight" The
American element claim that the Hunga-
| rians are alone responsible for what they
do. Yesterday noon the strikers pro-
ceeded in g body Of about 200 and drove
mines. They blew up the tipple With
| dynamite and drove Mr.. White, the Super.
intendent, from the grounds and threat
ened his life. Wherever the fiery Hunga-
| risns go they carry Q reign Of terror with
them. Committees are waiting on the
laborers in the Broadford regions to induce
them to strike, and the prevailing opinion
il that the men will all go out in that
| district tomorrow.

works are all idle to-day, the workmen
having joined the strikers. AT Fort Hill

gion. At Stonesville the employees were
attacked this morning, and five Of them
severely beaten. Trouble ia alao reported
at the Redstono works. and officers have
started for that place. The action of the
operators iu sending o uniformed police
rom Pittsburgh has aggravated the situa'
lion.
S%ToLEnvILLE. Jan. 20.-The situation
has assumed an alarming phase in the coke
regions. This morning 800 strikers. armed
with bars, coke forks and revolvers started
on a march. They drove the men from
work at tho Alice, and charged Wardena
coke yard at this place. Then the May
field and Donnelly mines were visited. A
mile west of here u boy named Wentzer
was horribly beaten. and the yard boss
McCabe, was chased and hammered. Every
oven front was crushed in. The rioters
have como across the country to the Rising
Sun works. The greatest trouble is yet to
come. Saturday will be pay day, and on
Monday ten days will have expired since
notice to quit was given TO the strikers in
company houses. There will likely b. 30.
