swer, and then the order TO fire wa
given by Captain Loar. The volleyl
from the Winchestefs were well direct
ed, and had a terrible effect on the com
pact mass OF strikers. The latter made
an attempt to return the fire with what
few weapons they possessed, buI
without effect. The dead were
left lying in the road, while
the wounded, estimated at between 40
and so, were either assisted or bodily
carried away into the hills by their tel'
lows.
All day the entire coke region has
presented scenes Of the widest excite
ment. The foreign element, especially,
has been driven frantic, and deadly
vengeance on each and every member
OF the band OF sixty.fve men has been
sworn to.
twill be noticed that all the men
killed bear foreign names, and 1t is Q
fact that not one Of them was Q anatural-
lied citizen Of this country. II ts also
supposed that the many wounded were
also foreigners, and this explains the deep
resentment expressed in every foreign
face in the regions tonight.

WARRINGTON ". W. April 2.-Secre'
tary Blaine was at the Department Of
State this morning, transacling routine
business and preparing to receive his
usual Thursday diplomatic visitors.
There is nothing startlingly new in the
Italian situation to-day. Baron Faya
has not yet made an application for q
passport nor has the Marquis Inperali
acknowledged the receipt Of Secretary
Blaine's letter which was sent him
yesterday evening.
Among the first callers on the Secre-
tary were the British Minister, Sir Julian
Pauncefote and Sir Charles Tupper, Of
the Dominion Of Canada, who talked
with the Secretary for an hour, presum-
ably about the seal fisheries, recipro-

the minds OF Canadians.

procession! It is openly declared by thl
strikers this afternoon, that they will
have revenge for the death OF their com
panions. They have for the time beiug
transferred their attention from the
plants to the deputies, whom they vow
they will kill. They say at the same
time, however. that the works will sure
ly be razed. Word has been passed to
the strikers all over the region that the
shooting was without provocation; that
no violence had been offered. The
anathemas OF the mob on hearing these
reports are deep and strong.
Peter Wise, Master Workman OF the
district; James Mcbride, Secretary, and
W. P. Penua. Vice Presi lent, OF the
United Mine Workers Of America, came
here this morning and visited the scene
OF the shooting, and held conferences
with several OF the men. They are Sc.
curing the names OF the deputies, and
will apply for warrants for the arrest OF
all OF them, including Captain Loar,
who was in command. The latter claims
that he ordered the mob to halt three
times, and that he was answered with
three shots. After another command to
halt the guards were ordered tofire, and
Q deadly volley was poured into the
crowd. The fire was returned hosly, but
the aim was poor.

The firing did not continue more than

when they knew that many OF their

great haste. It was not five minutes
after the firing that the deputies held
the field, The wounded were carried
away, but the dead were left, and from
the damp road seven men were carried
back to the barracks at the store.

The Racket
THAT EE ARE HAYIEG WITH ITALY
Is Still a Fruitful Topic in All
Parts Of the World
Apparently.
The Position Taken by Mr.. Blaine
in His Letter Considered
Very Strong.
..
STRANGE ARTICLE IN THE TREATY.
Evidence that the President is not I'm.
ensy--The Latest on the Subject
from the Italian Capital.

WARRINGTON, D. O., April 2.-Baron
Fayais still here and no; one appears to
know Just when he WilFset sail for Italy
though 1t is rumored that Saturday nexI
will be the date Of his departure. The
sensation occasioned by the presentation
Of his letters of recall has largely died
out, aud while some hot;hesdsd, ipju'
dicious persons and papers continue to
talk big about what should and should
not bs done, the great msjority have
settled down with the conviction that
the State Department will be able to ad-
just the present strained conditions IN
an amicable manner without involving
the Nations hoaor or standing; diplo.
matically or otherwise.
The consensus OF opinion Is that the
letter Of Secretary Blaine is unanswera.
BILE, and leaves nothing bore to be said.
The President has decided to start on
his trip to the Pacific coast, showing
conclusively that the Italian complica.
tions are not considered Of sufficient i'm.
portaqce to justify the abandonment of
the trip.
The Marquis Imperiali was seen late
this evening, but was not prepared to
make any statement as to the latest
phase Of the Italian affair. He has not
yet transmitted the Marquis di Rudini's
latest message to Secretary Blaine, but
he expects 70 do SO In very short time.
It was said tonight by persons who
have taken agreat deal of interest in
this diplomatic ENHANCEMENT, but who
have been disposed to look on the
bright side OF the case, that
the message OF Marquis di Rudini,
(the substance Of which Is given in the
Associated Press dispatch from Rome)
clears the situation 10 some extent and
opens q way for the establishment OF
the former amicable relations between
the two governments, IL Iraly does not
intend 10 carry the matter to the last ex-
tremity.
The tone Of the message would indi.
cate that the representations OF the atti.
tude Of the United States, made In Sec
retary Blaine's letter to the Marquis In
perilli, and the explanation OF the status
Of affairs which tits presumed Minister
Porter made TO the Italian Foreign
Office, had been well received by the
Italian Ministry and that Italy was dis
posed to await the regular and orderly
procedure Of the judicial institutions Of
this country.
It is now thought that should affairs
take no unforeseen and untoward turn
the present excitement will subside, and
that there is possibility Of harmonious
relations being restored without the oc.
currenoe Of anything more serious than
the embarrassment and friction due to
the fact that there had been, at past
period, a partial severance Of the friend
ly relations between the two govern.

John B. Rae, of the Uaited Mine Work
ers, referring to the fatal work in the
Pennsylvania coke regions tonight
said that he and other officers Of the or
ganization in their speeches in that
territory, had counseled moderation
and respect for the law and in
this respect think their course was much
better than that outlined by President
Lynch, Of the Frick Company, who said
they would have men with guns and
would shoot II the State did not furnish
them protection.
Mr.. Rae considers that the warrants
for the officers arrest amount to moth.
ing. He says the United Mine Workers
will assist the miners II they want to
continue the strike, or will not oppose
their going to work temporarily, but will
not permit them TO contract for working
more than eight hours day for any
length OF time, because the eight hour
day will soon be demanded.
The Federation OF Labor and Knights
OF Labor will support them, he says, II
they want TO continue the strike, as they
are pledged to the eight hour system,
President Rae expected to leave for the
coke regions tomorrow noon.

TROUBLE AT LEIsESRING.

Tho Deputies Being Arrested for Murder
ON Complaint Of Labor Leaders.
MI. PLEASANT, Pa, April 2.-At Lsis
enriDg, Constable Campbell attempted
to arrest John Lushka, a Russian, fol
completely in the bomb throwing that
occurred there Monday. Lushka fercely
resisted and called out in his native
tongue for aid. A fellow.countryman
who was ON the outside Of the Office
where Lushka had been trapped, gave
the alarm and in a few moments there
was a, bowling mob OF foreigners sur.
rounding the place. Lushka leaped
through the Office window carrying with
him pair OF handouts. Several shots
were fred after him but he escaped.
Tonight the warrant was placed In
the hands OF Sheriff Mccormick, and
with large posse OF men he has started
for Lsisenring to make the arrest.
Lushka and his companions are armed
and fight will certainly follow, unless
the man is surprised.
Labor officials deny that the men at
Morewood were killed for good cause,
and warrants have been issued for the
deputies on the charge Of murder. A
large number Of the deputies have al.
ready been arrested and labor leaders
say they will not rest until all are taken
care of. The deputies gave bail. Peter
Wise, District Master Workman, frat
applied 10 Justice McWilliams for war.
rante, but he refused to issue them.
Later on Squire McCabe consented TO
Issue the warrants prayed for, charging
the deputies with murder. General
Manager Lynch, Of the Frick company,
and Superintendent Ramsay, Of the
Morewood plant, are made accessories
before the fact. Wise denounced this
mornings shooting as cold-blooded mur.
der, and said there was no. justification
for the killing Of a working man.
