 ScoTTDALE, ,Pa., April 3.-Al is reported quiet in the coke regions tonight with the exception of stir in Scottdale caused by the centering there of strikers to attend the funeral of seven of the ten victims who are to be buried in the Catholic cemetery there in long trench already prepared to receive them.
 Strikers are gathering here in such great numbers that it will hardly be possible to house them all, and by tomorrow after noon ten thousand men will be present at the funerals, which will be conducted by Rev. Fathers Lambing and Smeisle. A special train has just brought in seven hundred armed militia from Mt. Pleasant and other troops will be here in the morn ing, as trouble is feared from the great body of strikers when they see their fellow strikers buried, who, they say, were simply murdered.
 Mayor Fetts of Scottdale has ordered that all saloons must close tomorrow, and @ force of special policemen will be sworn.
 
 ant in regard to the actions of members of the militia. This afternoon body of them entered store. belonging to a cripple named Dan Somers. They made demands upon the proprietor, which he refused, whereupon they broke his window into pieces and splintered his back door into fragments with their bayonets One of the guards became so hilarious that a striker named Kelley struck him over the head with pick handle, infiicting an ugly wound. The different captains have been appraised of their actions and they promised to take steps to discharge offend ing militiamen.
 The arrest of the deputies on the charges of the labor officials for felonious shooting continues this afternoon. Dr. Movers of Mount Pleasant states this evening that the list of wounded by the Moorwood riot will reach fully thirty. He says he is treating at least twenty, but does not deem reported here this evening that striker died at Tarrs to-day, supposed to have been victim of the Moorwood riot.
 TROUBLE EXPECTED.
 MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April 3.-General Wiley to-day detailed Private Keller, of the Eighteenth regiment, who speaks several languages, to circulate among the Hunga- rian and other strikers. Tonight when Private Keller returned to headquarters he reported to General Wiley as follows: There is to be trouble between this and Mon day. The strikers are all indignant because the soldiers have been sent here, but they do not seem to fear them. I was in two houses this afternoon where they threat ened to attack me until addressed them in their own tongue. In one house I saw five guns and @ number of revolvers. In the other saw three guns and several re- volvers. Five out of every ten of these men have served in the armies of the old country and they know what soldiers are.
 They say the soldiers who have been brought here are simply workingmen like themselves and will not interfere with their movements. In one of their papers of to-day that I picked up was an article saying they need not be afraid of the militiamen, who were novices and did not know any more about warfare than the strikers them selves. They also know about all the members of the Tenth infantry and to-day I heard them ridiculing them. So far as I have discovered there is going to be trou ble and it will come within the next two days. All of the Hungarians are in an an gry mood over the killing of their fellow workmen at Moor wood, which they claim was entirely unjustifable.
