Explaining the Coke Strike.
baltimore Herald.l


On the morning after the M0rehead not IN
PENNSYLVANIA press dispatches contained IN
ier,iews with the owners of the Standard
Coke Works, which were read with the great
est interest II was there set forth that they
had suffered wantOn attack at the hands oi a
lawless mob OF foreigners. and had SIMPLY
placed their property IN the hands oil the
sheriff for protection. But the Argus-eved
press discovered the real merits Of the diff
Guilty. and intmnted rather broadly that man
ufactuTs who would scour Europe Tor criminal
and pauper labor more than half deserved TO
have their property destroyed
Stung by the lnshings Of newspaper criticism
the owners Of the coke works ut Morehead are
seeking to make a new explanation OF the
strike They are now "A ing that the foreign
ers y hon they denounced At hist. were uut

The Inference is plain. however. that the
MOrehead Coke Company's officials are trying

pauies and manufacturing firms are responsl-

European population does not look well IN
cold type. and mine bosses and mill owners
are smarting under the excoriaton which has
been given them. The Morehead incident,
coming so quickly after the New Orleans riot.
has done more than anything else 10 aroise
public alarm upon the immigration question,
and naturally those chiefly responsible tor the
presence Of lllteTate foreigners IN lennsyl-
vania do not relish the publicity which has
been given to their part IN bringing the dis
tubing element 10 our shores.
Nobody can foresee the end. but the tact
that portions Of the country teen with the

European countries is making sensation.

AS THE TIMES predicted some weeks ago,
President Harrison has appointed the negro,
Hill. postmaster of the city of Vicksburg. II
will be remembered that the nomination of
Hill was not confirmed by the Senate, owing
TO the strong opposition of the Mississippi
Senators, no vote being reached. Harri-
son has taken advantage Of this fact
to fill the vacancy by the appoint
ment of his original nominee. one of
the most Objectionable negro politicians
in the South, and man peculiarly
odious To the white people Of Mississippi on
account of his incendiary influence with the
members of his own roce. II is impossible 10

An Account of the Attack.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-The number fmen
men engaged in repairing the monitor
Miantonomah has been Increased, and
she can be got ready for sea in ten days.
She is the most formidable ship in the navy
and could be in Chilian waters in two
months. The Philadelphia. Concord and
Kearsarge are being made ready to leave
Tuesday for the West Indies. The Phila-
delphia is sister ship to the Baltimore,
and the Concord is smaller and bears
close resemblance to the Yorktown.
The following account of the attack was
received from Valparaiso: Two sailors of
the Baltimore were insulted in the streets
by Chilians, who spit in their faces. AL
though urged to do so, they did not resent
it, but took refuge in street car. A mob
stopped the car and dragged them out, beat
ing them with sticks and stones. and knit
ing them One fell with twenty-five stabs,
and his comrade was assisting him to the
DOCTORS when policemen shot him in the
neck, killing him instantly. An officer with
white cap drew his sword and slashed
away indiscriminately and the attack be-
came general. Sailors eating in a restau-
rant were beaten and stabbed, and mounted
police sabred the Americans. One was
tied by the wrists to horse and dragged
through the streets, and another hauled to
the station with lasso around his neck.
The Baltimore's men were completely I'M
armed

Might Rob y Rich Englishman.

Col North has been the most excited man
in Great Britain this week. Unusually
calm in the possession of uncounted wealth,
he has suddenly, to all appearances, lost his
self-possession, and has been dashing about
frantically in this quarter and that to find
out what is going to happen to his vast in
terests in Chill. During the revolution in
that country North was a quiet sympa-
thizer with the insurgents. He also, how
ever kept an anchor to the windward for
Balmaceda in event the latter should prove
believing he supplied the Congressionalists
money as well as aiding them with his in
fuence in high quarters in England.
1t was North's influence that so long de-
layed the delivery to Balmaceda of the
Peinto rnd Erazuriz, and thereby perhaps
gave the insurgents needed time to prepare
for the final struggle. When the Congress
sionalists carried the day, North seemed to
be on the pinnacle, so far as Chilli was con-
cerned. Now cloud of war with America
has suddenly arisen to obscure his pros
poets, for nobody knows better than North
that war between Chill and the United States
would eventually mean the return of the
nitrate districts to Peru, with power be-
England. 1t hardly seems possible yet to
the leading merchants Of London in the
South American trade that Chilli will risk
going to war. Native Chilians, how
ever, living here do not hes
itate to avow that Chill will
fight rather than apologize, and that they
expect to humble the United States. This
view is not shared to any large extent in
British military and naval circles, and such
British officers as have spoken predict de-
cisive triumph for the United States

War-Ships to Chill.
Special TO the Gazette.


WASHINGTON, Oct. Slit is now posi-
lively known that the Newark is booked for
Gillian waters. Orders have been sent TO
Boston to have her fitted out with years
supply of provisions, and to complete her
crew with two-years' service men. She
will steam direct to Chill. Admiral Ben
ham, who was to go out in her to command
the South Atlantic station, will. it is
thought. be given another vessel as his flag
ship, and will not get away for several
weeks yet. There have also been develop
ments to-day which indicate that the Phila-
delphia will get under way for Chill about
the same time, or perhaps few days ear
lier than the Newark, and that the Atlanta
will follow as soon as she is ready. This
trio of vessels. with the Boston and York
town now en- route, and the Baltimore and
San Francisco already in the Pacific waters
form a feet of seven of the best vessels
now available, and would make quite a re-
spectacle showing.
One object in selecting the Philadelphia
place Admiral Gherardi in command of the
forces in those waters. He is known to De
anxious for duty, and it is said that both
the president and Secretary Blaine look IA
vorably upon his detail for this service.
Admiral Brown, gossip has it, is not III spe-
cial favor with the secretary of state. 1t
is understood that the main object of the
department in ordering the San Francisco
north from Callao was to get him away
from Chill. the opinion being that he is less
popular with the iunta than some other
commander might be.

sent written notice to the. government Of
the neighboring state of Venezuela requir-
ing the payment of claim for two British
vessels which had been seized by the Ven-
ezuelan government, which was notified
that unless payment was made forthwith
in seven days the commander of the Brit
ish naval forces in the West Indies would
take the necessary measures TO collect the
money.
The Venezuelan minister of foreign
affairs called together the diplomatic corps
and appealed to them to exert their good
offices to prevent Great Britain from en-
forcing this threat in so summary manner
before the claims, could be properly ex-
amined and adiudicated. The diplomatic
corps declined to interfere, baSing their re-
fusal on the ground that the matter was one
that must be arranged between the two
countries interested Meanwhile the Brit
ish squadron made preparations to enforce
the demand made. The Venezuelan govern
ment protested against the injustice of the
demand and appealing publicly to the ma
tons of the Old and New World against the
summary method adopted by Great Britain,
paid over the sum of $4,000, yielding, as
they said, 10 superior strength and not to
reason or justice.

Lady Dixie has decided on continuing her
trade union campaign among the women
workers. The Women'S- Trade Union
League has considerable strength in its
staff of speakers and organizers, and it now
proposes to initiate vigorous campaign
among the women workers of Scotland and
in the north of Ireland.
Austria has decided upon an import tax
of so kruitzers per kilo upon saccharine,
beginning January l.
The newly adopted small bore rife will
be introduced into actual use in the Italian
army next Monday.
At 4 largely attended meeting of city
maguates to-day it was decided to erect a
bust of the late Conservative leader, the
Ri. Hon. William Henry Smith, first lord
of the treasury, and steps were taken to
secure the financial success of the move
ment. The site selected for the statue is in
the town hall of the Strand.
The split which has been made apparent
between the Democrats and the Socialists
is thought to render ihpracticable for the
present the scheme of Burns and Mann for
the election of purely labor representatives
in parliament, and to give the Liberals 4
good chance to capture the bulk of the labor
support for their candidates.

We Can Squelch Her.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. 31.-Nava1
officers at Mare island are of the opinion
that the United States has ships enough in
fighting trim at the present moment to
handle Chill with ease. Admiral Irwin,
commandant at Mare island, in discussing
the question, said: 'sWe can handle Chill
easily without any additional work or
preparation. We have ships enough
in fighting trim now to Sguelch
Chill. Valparaiso is the key to
the entire situation and do not apprehend
any difficulty in capturing the key. OF
course we should want Iquique as well, for
that is Chili's purse. 1 say take it, not
blockade it. Nitrate exporters do not care
who they pay duty to. Anyway, if we did
not want it we could turn it over to
Peru, from whom Chill took it.
Such vessels as the Maintonomah, Monan-
tanock and Monterey are the real fighting
ships of the future. With their tremendous
guns, which by the new turrets can be
fought in the sea- they are the most for
midable fighting machine aboat, and one Of
them would have little to fear from all that
Chill has atioat.

Looks Like Criminal care1essnes..

There is loud demand from Radical
quarters for the punishment of the naval
officers responsible for the sinking of the
fishing smacks at Plymouth by misdirected
shots from the warships station ed there.
One man was drowned and several others
were put in imminent danger of like fate
by this piece of carelessness, and the ques-
ton is raised why nothing has been done
about it except to institute one of those
official Investigations, which were never
known to result in any tangible placing of
responsibility.
The Democratic journals point out that
an oyerworked railway eSplove who by his
negligence causes harm to others is clapped
into jail instantly, his trial coming later on.
But different rule seems to prevail in
cases where high officials were the guilty
parties, and especially so where the erring
one is the son of an admiral, referring to
the fact that the son of Admiral Free
mamie was in command of the operations at
the time the fishing vessels were sunk.

speeches would afford Lord Salisbury
rather curious reading. 1t is evident that a
very democratic form of To ryism indeed is
coming into the eastern counties, and il is
easy from this fact to judge what the ten
dency of public feeling is in this part of
England. 1t is intended at the beginning
of the next session of parliament not only
to revive the East Anglican party, but to
prepare programme for it which will go
further in the interests of labor than
anything which has been attempted
on the Conservative side. Meanwhile Sir
John Gorst's attitude toward this move
ment continues to be prominent topic of
conversation in Conservative quarters. The
almost universal opinion is that Sir John
is aiming at the ultimate formation of
new fourth party. By his independent
course of action in regard to the labor ques-
lions he has alienated number of his col
leagues in the cabinet and carried his own
way to promotion. He is thought
to be too shrewd man to
have played this game without a
purpose, and minister who is not himself
above playing to the gallery, recently de-
sired Sir Johns labor programme as post
obituary. Sir John is well known to regard
Conservative defeat at the general election
as foregone conclusion, and in view of the
absence of any leader of frst-rate capacity
on the Conservative side of the house of
commons, the game of the opposition will
be very much go-as-you-please business.
