Arson and Assault by Strikers.

CLEARF1ELD, Pa, May. 11.-Three tene- ment houses belonging to the W. H. Wigh- ton Mining company at Morrisdale were burned, and it is asserted that the strikers set them on fire.

 SALIVA, Kan, May 1.-The war is over. The intrepid Colorado contingent of the eommonweaI, which has kept Colorado and Kansas in an uproar for two days, has surrendered internationally to Marshal Medley. They were 150 strong, and every man was put under arrest.
 The surrender was made peaceably, and the entire army was taken to Topeka for trial. The special train with the captured army made rapid time on its return trip.
 Sanders reckless army of commonweal- CTS defied pursuit and laughed at obstacles again. Three times their stolen train was reported stalled before cars and engines purposely run off the track aheado of them, and each time the railroad officials be- lieved they were masters of the situation. But in less time than it took the railroad company to throw their engines from the track at one place and tear up the rails at another the go ahead wealers had built new track around the feeble obstructions and relaid the torn up rails with their force of something over 400 men.
 Governor Would Not Send Troops.
 The army's symrethizers were hoping that the daredevil band might run the SdHIIcI ol C HlIeu CIdteS 1hdrsud1 N0oAoy 100 winchesters and reach Topeka without further molestation. Once at the capital, they believed the train stealers would be free from care and penalty. The attitude of Governor Lewelling gave this idea en- couragement.
 The executive was entirely noncommit- tai when questioned, but to one sheriff who applied for troops the governor sent the following:
 To James Hart, Sheriff, Horace, Kan:
 Telegram asking for troops to arrest 500 men who have stolen Missouri Pacific train received. Was train stolen in Kansas? Have any depre- dations been committed in your county? Have warrants been issued and processes been re- sisted? Are the men still in your county?

Old Engineer at the Throttle.

The man at the throttle, it was said, was an old Missouri Pacific engineer, and he knew every sag and cut of the road.
 When the wild train reached Horace, Kan, they found an east bound passenger and mail train that had been held by the company. The wealers commanded the crew of this train to move, and after an exchange of dispatches with the superin- tendent the train sped away. Regarding this train as safe pilot, the special kept close in its wake. The wealers had now a first class locomotive, having abandoned their rusty old switch engine at Horace and appropriated the best passenger en- zine they could find in the roundhouse.
 Without mishap the runaways reached Scott City, which they approached warily. They saw 50 feet of the track torn up in front of the station there, and 100 men with 100 rifles were lined up on the station platform. The engineer reversed quickly, and before the deputies had time to think their expected antagonists had disappeared in the distance from whence they came. The Missouri Pacific promptly started train east from Leoti, Kan, 25 miles west of Scott City, to intercept the returning army.

.SLAVS WILD WITH RAGE
Places of Striking Foreigners Filled With New Miners.
PREPARING FOR A GRAND ATTACK.
Ten Thousand Furious Men Are Expected to Gather In the Coke Region Today at the Prick Company's Works-Troops Tn Alabama Ready For Rioters.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, May l1.-Not since the beginning of the strike, not even in con- nection with the wild scenes attending the killing of Engineer Paddock, has there been such excitement as is developing in this region, particularly in the Fayette county section. The introduction of out siders to take the places of the striking coke workers has been commenced.
 The strikers, especially the Slavs and Poles, are simply furious. They were startled and enraged by the actual appear ance of an advance guard of imported workmen, consisting of two carloads of strange foreigners, who have been run into the Morewood plant of the H. c. Prick Coke company. They are engaged to go to work at the old rates, and most of them are reported as inexperienced men. There were 100 men in the company.
 It is generally believed that hurried prep arations are being made for an attack in such force that the deputies on guard will be swept away in case the new, men really try to go towork. The situation is alarm ing, and 10, 0,000 men are expected at Scott dale, and it is not probable that the lead CTS will be able to keep them within bounds when strangers are taking the bread out of their mouths and money out 0f their DOokotS

Soft Coal Famine In Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, May IA large consumer of bituminous coal in this city offered 5000 for 100 tons of the fuel, but could not get it. There is no soft coal here for sale save small lots at retail. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad controls the supply and is holding it all for it's own uses save what it permits steamers to have. so that they may not cease running.
 Dispatches from Cumberland and Frost burg today give accounts of several meet ings held, and the indications all are fa- vorable for a return to work on the part of the miners The organizers have failed at nearly every turn as yet, but more meet ings will be held before final decision is reached.

Much Work to Be Done.


 The commissioners suggest number of amendments to the Peffer bill in case it should be considered by congress, but send with their report the draft of what they urge as substitute for the bill, making provision for the execution of the plans made for providing for sewage disposal in the District and also for comprehensive improvement of the highways of the Dis trict, and in lieu of direct appropriation from the treasury they propose, that the, expense be defrayed from the proceeds of aR issue of kDistrict bonds to athei amount of$G5O, ,ooG9E rE.1 if.-... :,... .-oa a,c
 The commissioners, in their letter of transmittal, urge the passage by congress of the Peffer bill as modified or the substi- tute measure on the ground that some thing must be done for the unemployed of the District, or they will become public charges. They also set forth that the con. dition of the money market is such that a bond issue could easily be made. and that the time is opportune for making such needed public improvements.
 The commissioners are opposed to the provision in the Peffer bill for, a uniform rate of $1. 50 for an eight hour day as wages for the men employed under the act.
 They say that the current rate in this locality is $1 for a 10 hour day, and that grave injustice would be done if the gov ernment attempted to raise that rate. Con tractors who made bids based upon this current rate would be obliged to pay the higher wages and thus be ruined, and there would be general stampede of laborers here to receive the higher wages thus guar anteed, resulting in the overcrowding of the labor market and vast amount of suffering and distress.
