MT. PLEASANT, April 26-The people
Of this place have reached such state
Of nervousness that the least lumor
causes the greatest excitement. There
fore, when it was stated that 100 guns
had been shipped to the strikers at
Standard and men were drilling in the
art Of war nightly, people declared that
blood would be spilled at the meeting
here Monday. A meeting was held at
Standard yesterday, and all sorts OF
rumora were thereby set aaoat The
meeting was held on hill above the
works, and from Mt. Pleasant could be
plainly seen small squad Of men going
through the maneuvers of skirmish
drill. Small crowds gathered about to
discuss the situation. A reporter went
over to Standard and found that the
men were drilling. but their guns were
wooden sffairs. Nearly all tho men
were at one time members OF the army
in their native country, and take this as
a means OF exercise and killing time.
They have formed q company OF 100
men, and every evening they drill with
their wooden pieces.
This has caused considerable excite
ment. Those who were informed that
the guns were only made OF wood de.
clare there Ia reason for the drilling
nevertheless, and that the guns will be
forthcoming before Mondays meeting.
Several years ago the men here had
Springfield rifles, but say they have thcm
no longer.
The meeting held at the Standard this
morning was merely local affair, TO
discuss the eviction question. The men
have changed their minds on the ques-
ton ofleaving when the 6rst eviction Ia
made, and will allow the Sheriff TO
throw them all out. Thoy will make no
resistance, however, and declare that
Sheriff Clawson will have no trouble.
Several fields have been rendered them
and number OF tents will be pitched
for the accommodation Of those to be
evicted.
The talk about the "red flag" meeting
to be held here Monday continues, and
another company OF the militia will
doubtless be asked for, as it is believed
that there will surely be trouble.
Members Of the local company now on
duty have expressed themselves very
freely on the question, and the feeling
against the orators scheduled to speak
is very bitter. Sheriff Clawson has Is.

charitable works conducted by the
ladies of the congregation. The Queen,
while in residence at the castle, has Often
attended his church. The parish Is one
OF the largest in England.
One girl, fifteen years old, has made
some startling statements against the
curate, and 1t is upon the inquiries that
resulted therefrom that the charges and
arrest are based.

ment and humiliation. acknowledged
with tears in his eyes that he could not
deny the charges that hsd been made
against him, and confessed that he had

investigation, but was subsequently re-
leased on bail TO the amount Of $4,000.

The Kaiser Denies that the Field Marshal
Bllghtsd Its Achievements.

LONDON, April q. 6.-Poultney Bigelow,
who accompanied Emperor William dur.
ing last years maneuvers, gave to an
interviewer tonight many interesting
"reminiscences OF General Won Moltke,
who was also guest of the Emperor at
the time. "The relations which existed
between the Emperor and General Won
Moltke," ," said Mr.. Bigelow, "were those
which might have existed between a
loving son and an aaectionate father.
The tender solicitude with which the
young Emperor watched over Won
Moltke's comfort and anticipated his
every wish, was touching in the extreme.
He was ever ready to lend his arm to the
veteran, and In a thousand little ways
testified to his love aud consideration
for the aged warrior. Emperor William
was Won Moltke's pupil, and all he
knows OF the art Of war he learned from
him. He never forgot to revere his old
master.
II asked the Emperor about Won
Moltke's repeated reference TO the
American Civil War, the General hav.
Ing been quoted as calling our armies
armed mobs, from which nothing OF the
science OF war could be learned.
General Won Moltke never said any
such thing, nor had he any such
opinion said the Emperor, iOn the
contrary, he had the highest respect for
your Generals, as everyone acquainted
with bis administration OF the general
staff must know. Even to this day
every German officer is Obliged to study |
carefully the history and tactics OF your
