Strikers 1ntimldate workers.

PEORIA, Ills, May Eight hundred
coal miners, headed by brass band and
drum corps, paraded the streets around
the courthouse square on their way to two
mines in Taxwell county to force the oper-
atives to quit work. The men organized
at Bartonville, chose leaders and first Wis
tied the Collier mine, which has been run
hing since the strike began. Here the
miners refused to quit; but when the strik-
ers got demonstratiye they agreed to sus-
pend until further notice. There was no

ROME, May 5.-Cancer Of the larynx, al

Emperor Frederick of Germany was affiict-

of Lord Vivian, the British ambassador at
Rome, last year, is the terrible malady
that has established it's hold upon King
Humbert of Italy. This has been known
for some time among the most intimate
confdants of the unfortunate monarch,
but it is only quite lately that the secret
has been in certain measure divulged.
The news will doubtless cause much and
widespread regret, as King Hum bert is as
suredly one of the most eos>omendable and
meritorious of all European sovereigns.
Since his accession to the throne, at any
rate, his court has rivaled in purity and

He has been scrupulously honorable in
money matters, not only relinquishing
third of his civil list to the treasury with
the object of tightening the burden of tax
alton upon his subjects, but making
point of paying every cent of the enormous
personal debts left by his father-debts
which the national Legislature offered to
pay out Of the public exchequer, but which
King Hum bert insisted on assuming charge
of himself.
The news of his affection cannot but
create much uneasiness as regards the po-
litical situation both at home and abroad

Women Fought Like Wild Beasts.

This region has seen many savage affairs
in which women unsexed themselves by
deeds of cruel violence, but the old timers
say that never before has there been seen
such a spectacle as this. Every person in
the assaulting party had some sort of
striking weapon-even the children, who
screamed shrilly as they f1ourished sticks
suited to their size. Many of the women
bore axes, and some of the men of the
mob carried ball bats and hatchets.
Deputy White was the first man at the
yard on whom blow fell. Mrs Sconesky
had ball club, and her husband welded
an ak. White went down before the front
rank of the raiders. Roddy and clerk
named James Tarr saw him fall In the
face of the fearful odds these two men
sprang to his rescue and fought their way
to his side
Then the frantic raiders fell upon Tar1
and Roddy as White struggled to his feet,
blinded with blood. The three men fought
desperately, but the odds were too great,
and finally all went down again under the
feet of the mob. Roddy was beaten and
cut about the head almost as badly as
White.
White is in the Miners hospital at Con-
nellsyille. The latest reports are that the
chances of recovery do not equal the
chances that he will die. Roddy was
brought to his home here. He is vomiting
blood and is very badly injured man.
Two of the Poles shot in the melee are pro-
nounced by their physician to be in a dan
gerous condition and are likely to die.
Sixty-three rioters, among them IL WON
en- and 10 children, have been taken to
Jail, and warrants for so others have been
sworn out, but the men cannot now be
found. The Painter plant is in charge of a
large number of deputies, and the compa-
ny is determined to operate it.

KING HUMBERT,

gressive and dictatoria1 attitude assumed
of late by Prime Minister Crispi, who, if
one were to judge from his speeches, his
manner, from public report and from the
appearance of things generally, would
seem bent on securing for himself supreme
power in Italy.
To the legislature, when it ventured to
demonstrate against the increase of taxa
ton which has been decided upon. Crispi
automatically declared that if it did not
vote at once~the project Of taxation which
he had submitted he would dissolve par
lament and rule without it-a serious
menace to the legislators when it is borne
in mind that they are mostly poor men, to
whom their official salary is a considera-
ton and who only draw pay when the
chamber is in session.
Crispi as Dictator.
Moreover, when the king the other day
accorded an interview to one of the editors
of the Paris Figaro, during the course of
which he expressed his friendship toward
France, his gratitude for her past services
to his father and to Italy and his desire as
we'll as his gertrude of the maintenance
of peace, Crispi deliberately publish
ed an editorial article in his news
paper, The Riforma, in which he as
serted that the interview could not posi-
bly, be authentic, since it would mean that
Humbert had been guilty of "gross VIC
lation of that constitutional principle
which prohibits sovereign from giving
public expression to his political opinions
or to assume the initiative in matters
where he could not assume the responsible
ity."
Inasmuch as the kings interview accord
ed to the editor of The Figaro was granted
through the intervention of the French
ambassador at Rome, and that there is no
atom of doubt as to it's entire authenticity,
the manuscript having been submitted be-
fore publication to the king and to the en-
bassador, it is evident that the article in
The Riforma is nothing more nor less than
a public scolding, censure and denuncia-
ton on the part of the prime minister to
his sOvereipn

Mob That Beat the Deputy sherifrs-A

SCoTTDALE, Pa. May 5.-The north end
of the Connellsville coke region is in a
fever of fear, excitement and anxiety. The
terrible work at the Painter plant of the
Mcclure company, bad as it was in itself,
is feared still more as foreshadowing the
beginning of times and conditions that are
inevitable unless this strike is speedily
settled.
The battle was between striking Poles,
a small number of deputies and a COM
parative few OF the men at work at the
Painter plant. Deputy Sheriff Sanford
White aud Chief Clerk Ewing B. Roddy
were terribly beaten and are in a critical
condition. Five men and two women on
the strikers side were shot and two of the
men dangerously wounded. Fifty-six of
the rioters have been arrested and are now
confined in the Uniontown Jail.
The Painter plant was closed down by
the strikers ON the Gath inst. and was idle
until Wednesday of this week. Early Fri
day morning Joe Sconesky's wife went
about to the other houses and got the
women of the striking Poles to join her in
a proposed raid on the plant. About
o'clock she had $50 men, women and chill
dren in the ranks ready for a raid. The
men remained i'll the rear, and the women
and children, led by Mrs. Sconesky, made
q rush for the cokeyard.
