They Are More Violent Than the Coke
Strikers Themselves.
Two outbreaks occurred in Fayette county,
Pa. yesterday afternoon, one Of which resulted
in the calling to arms Of company C. Their
appearance in battle array was, however.
sufficient to restore order and violence was not
resorted to. The cause of the trouble was an
attempt by Sheriff Mccormick to evict two
Slavs named Joe Hartman and Andrew Dunchko
at Leith works. The sheriff was met by a mob
Of women armed with hatchets and other
weapons, their husbands being in the back
ground. The mob kept the sheriff at bay for
nearly an hour. The sheriff narrowly es-
capped the fury Of the mob and was forced to
back up against tine house and face the angry
crowd. The men offered no assault, but the
women were furious.
Finally the sheriff sent for tie militia. The
crowd observing this quickly dispersed. One
of the strikers was so angry at his wife for as
sisting in the assault that he kicked her vio-
lently and then assisted the sheriff in carving
out the goods from the house. Quiet was re-
stored before the troops reached the scene

Grounds of Complaint Against Italy Pos

Grounds of Complaint Against Italy Pos
sessed by America.
A dispatch from Rome says: The newspapers
OF this city are complaining bitterly of what
they term the 'leisurely manner" of Mr.
Blaine in replying to the communications of
the Italian government relative to the New
Orleans affair. They seem to forget in Italy
that, using the usual means Of communication
between governments, it takes three weeks for
Italy and the United States to exchange COM
munications. They also seem to forget that
the United States has Just as good grounds for
complaint against the Italian government as
the papers claim the latter has against the
American Secretary Of State.
Take, for instance, the case of the Italian
salvatore Paladina. The American govern
ment demanded that this offender against the
laws OF the United States, who had fled to Italy,
be extradited to stand trial upon the charge OF
counterfeitlng. The Italian government. two
weeks after the receipt Of this demand, asked
the American legation here what citizenship
Paladlna claimed. whether American o. Italian
In response to this question the American leya-
ton stated on the same day that the request fer
information was received that Paladina claimed
to be an Italian subject This was the last
heard OF the matter for two months, when. in
answer to the United States governments re-
ian government stated that the constitution
and laws Of Italy did not allow for the carving
out OF the treaty existing between Italy and tie
United States SO far as the extradition of Ital-
ians was concerned
Italy again took this position relative to the
Italian constitution and laws when the United
states subsequently demanded the extradition
OF the two Italians who were implicated in the
murder OF Paymaster Mcclure, an employe of
a contractor who was engaged in constructing
railroad near Wilkesbarre, Pa, and Hugh
Flanagan, another employe of the same con-
tractor, who were killed and robbed of a sum
OF money which the paymaster had to pay
laborers, and for which crime a third Italian
was convicted and executed by the Pennsyl-
vanla authorities. His two accomplices made
their escape from the United States and re-
turned to Italy, but the Italian government re-
fused to surrender them for trial, basing its
refusal on the ground that it would be extra
constitutional - surrender Italian subjects for
trial in a foreign country.
