TWO MORE VICTIMS.
Late tonight word was received here that
two more men concerned in the riot had
died in strikers house. Their names could
not be learned. These two deaths make
nine In all that are known, as the result of
the firing Of the guards, but there is no
doubt others arc either dead or in critical
condition, as the guards had orders to fire
to kill, and evidently did so.
Reports late tonight from all over the
region indicate a fearfully dangerous and
excited condition of affairs, and word that
the military was soon TO be on guard was
received by the law-abiding labor officials
and coke operators alike with the liveliest
evidence of satisfaction.

occurred there Monday. Lushka fiercely re-

Lushka had been trapped, gave the alarm,
aud in few moments there was bowling
mob Of foreigners surrounding the place.
Lushka leaped through the Office window,
carrying with him a pair of handouts.
Several shots were fired after him, but he
escaped. Tonight warrant was placed in
the hands of Sheriff Mccormick, and with a
large posse of men he has started for Leisen-

Master Workman Wise was refused war
rants by two different Justices of the Peace,
and after roundly denOuncing them secured
warrants from Justice McCaleb. They will

CONFLICTING STORIES.
A striker named Dunn, who was among
the leaders of the rioters, said Tonight that
lie was with body of men on the bridge
and stopped to light cigar. He thinks the
rum0rs of bombs had alarmed the guards
and that they took the lighting Of the match
as portent of something dangerous. Any
way, he says, they fired directly toward
where he stood and men fell all around
him.
Another statement made tonight was
that Captain LOar said he was ordered to
fire by Deputy Sheriff Mcdonald. In fact,
any number of conflicting stories are beug
told on both sides.
At least 600 men are in the vicinity of
Mount Pleasant tonight and the feeling
generated by the appearance OF several
companies of the Eighteenth and Tenth
regiments Tonight is one of security, both
among the strikers and citizens.
The foreign element, however, is very un-
easy and there is very plain talk here among
some Of their representative men that a
higher power than the State will be called
in. They intimate plainly that their mother
countries may have something to say as to
their treatment by the guards. who. they
say, all belonged to the militia

POS sIBLE INTERNATIoN AL COMPLICATIONS
PITTsBURG, April News of the riot at
MorewDod and the subsequent order from
the Governor calling out the Tenth and
Eighteenth regiments created intense ex-
ctement here. The Eighteenth Regiment
started for the scene of trouble at o'clock
this evening, accompanied by two companies
of the Tenth.
Mr.. Frick', the owner of the MorewoOd
plant and the largest coke operator in the
country, said this evening: "This is no
question of wages. but only whether our
men who are working are to be shot down
at midnight and our property destroyed by
rioters. The authorities must settle this.
and we will know which is to rule-mOb or
law"
AS the men killed were all unnaturalized
foreigners the possibility of international
complications arising has been freely dis
cussed. Austrian Consul Shomberg re-
ceived dispatch this afternoon from Par
ker, the leader of the strikers, informing
him that several of the men killed were
subjects of Austria. He replied that he
would investigate the matter, but declined
to talk further.
