DANGER AT sCoTrDALE


All is reported quiet In the coke regions
Tonight, with the exception Of a stir in
Scottdale, caused by the centering
here OF the strikers to attend the funeral
OF seven Of the ten victims, who are
to be buried In the Catholic cemetery
in long trench already prepared to receive
them. The strikers are gathering here al
ready in such great numbers that It will
hardly be- possible TO house them all, and by
Tomorrow afternoon 10000 men will bs
present at the funerals, who will be con-
Quoted by Rev. Fathers Lambing and
Smeigle. A special train has just
brought 700 armed militia from
Mount Pleasant, and other companies
will be here in the morning, as trouble IL
feared from the great body of strikers when
they see their fellow strikers buried, who,
they say, were simply murdered. Mayor

saloons must close tomorrow, and a strong
force OF special policemen will also be sworn
IN TO assist in preserving order.
MORE TROOPS ORDERED OUT
HARRISBURG. PA, April 3.-This after
noon an official order to Gen. Wiley was
issued from the adjutant generals depart
ment directing him to order
the Tenth regiment TO the sup
port OF Sheriff Clawson at Mount
Pleasant, aud to order the Eighteenth regi-
ment under arms. The order Is under date
of yesterday, aud instructs Gen. Wiley
with the forces under him TO
and enforcing the laws, and to make such
disposition OF the troops as he may deem
necessary. Gen. Wiley is further directed
to see "that the troops are moved
only in compact bodies, and that
no firing is permitted, except by
order Of the officer in command.
All other means OF quieting the riot and
restoring order having first been exhausted, =,
the officer commanding the troops shall
notify the rioters that they will be fred
upon unless they promptly disperse. Should
they not disperse the order to fire shall be
deliberately given. Every soldier will be
expected TO fire with effect, and the firing
will be continued until the mob disappears. u
NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION.
There has evidently been no fresh out
break in the coke region. From noon until
after 10 o'clock tonight Gov. Pattison
did not receive single telegram.
Gen. Wiley sent te following
telegram to the governor late
tonight: "There is no change In the con-
dition of things from the laAt message. All
is quiet. The funeral Of the dead will take
place at Scottdale Tomorrow at 2 80 o'clock
.. IN. There will undoubtedly be a large
attendance. / will send flve companies OF
the Eighteenth regiment under command
of Col. Smith TO that point tonight"
Later this telegram was received from
Adtt. Gen. McClellani "Have nothing addi-
tional to Gen. Wiley's telegram. There has
been discreet disposition of both regiments
The officers aud men are behaving admira-
bly,, which is apparently having good
effect. Col. McKibbin is giving good assist
ance."
AGAIN IN A FERMENT
PIrTsBURc, Pa. April 4, 3 A. M-Late
dispatches tonight indicate sudden and
unexpected movement of the strikers to-
ward Morewood. The guard at that place
has been trebled, and it is hardly consid-
cred possible that the strikers would
consider another raid, In view of the fact
that the troops are generally conferred
there. Tonight Col. Hawkins hurriedly
issued orders at Mount Pleasant, gathered
up five of his companies and hastily left the
place, He refused to give his destination,
which was either Morewood or Scottdale,
where the funerals OF the rioters are to take
place. The region is again in ferment.
