BUT THERE Is STILL DANGER OF
SERIOUS TROUBLE.

Strikers Only Waiting for the Militia to
Depart for Another Outbreak-Private
KeIIar Warns His Colonel that an up
rising Is Imminent.
The situation in the Pennsylvania
coke regions remains practically un-
changed. The feeling prevails that as
long as the militia remains there will be
no more lawlessness. The soldiers can
not stay always. however, and 1t is fear
ed that unless the strike is settled before
they are called home the depredations
will be renewed just as soon as their
backs are turned The feeling among
the strikers is intensely bitter, but they
are careful to commit no overt act and
content themselves with scowling at the
militia and murmuring In unintelllgible
tongues
For thirty consecutive hours a stream
OF thousands OF people viewed the bodies
of the men who were shot at Morewood.
They were stretched out side by side on
a long platform, AROUND which the crowd
surged in its eagerness to get glimpse
of the dead men. They are all young
men with the exception of Cressango
Binero, the Italian, and Valentine Zindle.
The faces of the dead were cleanly
shaved, and on the breast OF each was

they had been accustomed to repeat their
prayers.
The scene in the morgue was one that

women vented their anger and anguish
in terms that could not be mistaken.
