reviews The SITUATION.
Governor Pattison Views the Clear
field Coal Regions and Investi-
gates the Grievances.

PHILLlPsBURG. Pa. May 27.-The
visit of Governor Pattison to the
Clearsfied coal region last Saturday
has been the topic OF conversation with
the operators, miners and business men
Of all classes. The reasons assigned
for the governors visit are many and
varied. 1t was very evident that his
remark before and in his speech to the
miners, that he had had thoroughly
posted as to the situation from the op.
orators standpoint Before he left he
was equally posted as to the situation
from the miners standpoint.
After the conclusion of the gover-
nor's speech and brief remarks by sew
eral miners the meeting adopted un-
animously the following resolutions:
Whereas: Robert E. Pattson, governor
Of this state, has come among us and to
effect, If possible, the adjustment of the
strike, and,
Whereas: We, the miners and mine la
borers of Houtzdale and vicinity are will
ing at any and all times through the
national officers to meet our employers for
the purpose of adjusting our grievances,
and,
Whereas: We believe our national Of
ficers are fully capable to the task OF ad-
justing our difficulties, therefore be it,
Resolved, That we recommend that our
local executive board at once wire the
action taken at this meeting to the Nation
al officers, and to request them to meet
and consult with Governor Pattison, and
together with the governor our national
officers meet the operators and try to ad-
just the difference now prevailing.
The governor left Houtzdale this
morning for Harrisburg by special
train via Tyrone, Before departing he
expressed himself as being satisfied
that his visit had resulted in long steps
toward ending the conflict, and
that he had no doubt that
the operators would consent to
such conference as the miners had
suggested. He w6s informed that so
far as the miners in this section Of the
state were concerned they were not
averse to arbitration, feeling certain
that when the conditions under which
they were asked 10 work and the low
wages that they earned were ascer-
tanned they would be awarded the full
extent of their demands.
1t can be stated that there will be no
attempt to resume operations in this
part Of the state until it is known
whether or not conference will be
held and the outcome of the confer
ence.
There was no truth in the story that
a mine tipple was abolished at Wood
land last Friday night.

RAILROADERS IN Session.
The Big Organizations in Joint Ses-
sion in New York Mr.. Nor
riseY's Wet Blanket.

New YORK, May 27.-The largest con.
vention of railroad employees ever held
in this country was called together this
morning at the Lenox Lyceum 1t was
the first joint meeting ever hold by the
big organizations of railroad men. and
it is expected that the results of the
convention will be decisive and far
reaching.
The organizations in convention are
the Brotherhood of Locomotive engi-
neers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive
fremen, order of Rail way conductors,
brotherhood of Railway traiumen, or
der of Rrilway telegraphers, the
Switchmens Mutual Aid association,
and the brotherhood Of car repairers.
There were not over 400 delegates
present at the opening Of the session
this morning, although fully /, 900 had
been expected. Many, it is thought,
will CONS tomorrow.
E. E. Clark, grand chief conductor,
was made permanent chairman, and
P. f. Doyle, of New Jersey, secretary.
AS 500 as the secretary was installed
in Office he walked to the edge of the
platform and said he wanted to read
bill which he had succeeded in getting
on the statute books of Now Jersey. 1t
was a bill imposing a fine of $500 on
any person or corporation that forced
its employees to renounce allegiance to
any association or brotherhood as
condition of their retaining their en-
ployment.
Everybody thought that this bill
solved the labor problem until Mr..
Morrissay, of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen, remarked that the law
was not worth the paper upon which it
was printed 80 long as 1t was operative
in only one state 1t would be easy, he
said, for any road. the Pennsylvania
for instance, to employ all its men
either in New York or Pennsylvania
and then send them into New Jersey to
work. This was clearly new idea to
Mr.. Doyle. who looked as If he had lost
his best friend.
Mr.. Morrissey then suggested that
the legislatures needed watching and
said that in bis opinion it would be
wise to appoint committee in each
state Of the Union to watch the legis-
lature. There should also be stand.
ing committee at Washington to look
after the government Of the United
States.
A 2 o'clock the convention went into
secret session.

was apparently leaning idly over the
railing, suddenly wheeled. and point.

HAzLEToN. Pa. May 27.-The trou-
BILE which has been brewing in the
congregation of st, Casimir's Polish
Catholic church, at Freeland, broke
out today in bloody riot For half
an hour Il reign of terror ensued,
and considering the number of men
fngaged in it, the most peculiar fea.
ture of it is that many were not
killed outright. The list Of casual
ties is as follows: Victor Tomski, shot
shrough the head; Peter Yesmoski
fatally shot through the abdomen |;
James Travimski, sh, t in the right leg /;
chlel Of police, hean crushed with club (;

merchant, an effort to have
the priest, Father Massotas, re-
moved. has been going on. Yestsr.
day the latter WIS notified that
he would not be allowed to say mass
today, and to protect himself he Sc
cured police protection. Under the
escort of Officer Jones he approached
the sacristy this morning, but was
forced out by Poles. Upon making the
second attempt the rioting started, sew
eral hundred men being present.
The officers could do nothing. The
latter used their guns to protect them
selves, while the beligerents used
weapons of every conceivable nature.
For thirty minutes the battle ragged
fiercely Women and children ran
screaming wildly from the scene. The
shouts of the infuriated men aided to
the confusion and pandemonium
refined.
Under the escort of Burgess Nc
Laughlan Father Massotas was con-
Quoted safely to his residence. During
the tight. however, he viewed it from
the balcony. A crowd of anxious
Lithuanians surged about him, but
amidst it all he remained cool and COL
lected. He advised his followers not to
return the fire and eounseled peace.
His influence had remarkable effect
aud the men left the place without
participating in the hostilitiss.
When the firing at length ceased aud
order was again restored the scene re-
ssmbled BATTLEFIELD. Wounded men
were being carried and led by friends
from the churchyard. while the place
itself was strewn with the weapons
that had been used with terrible effect.
Tie mob was still in control, and only
tour of them could be arrested and are

FIENDS OF The CAMEROONS.
Herr Leist Will Have to Stand Trial
for Atrocities Committed on
African Savages.

HAMBURG. May 27.-The German
steamer Lulu Bohlen arrived at Cux-
haven with Herr Leist, ex-chancellor
of the Cameroons, on board. Herr Leist
was Immediately served with u sum
mons from the government ordering
him to surrender himself to the au-
thorities in Berlin and prepare to de-
fend himself to the many atrocities
charged against him during his admin.
istration of the Camsroons colony.
The case will be tried before spec
ial court, to be held at Potsdam,
Elrly last month q German weekly
published some extracts from the diary
of German living in the Cameroons
containing serious charges against Ger.
man officials in the west of Africa.
Ander date March 10, 1893 the writer
says: Il learn some interest
ing particulars about the Bakoko
rebellion. Assessor Wehlau, the gov
ernor's substitute, who led the expedi-
tion, is actually said, on burning down
the villages, to have issued an order to
cut the throats of some old WON n.
Not hundred and fifty, but only if
teen, natives were taken prisoners
Three of them are said to have died OF
hunger. Four days later he writes
'"The prisoners remained bound for
days to the railings of the ship in such
manner that worms bred in their
swollen and bleeding legs and arms.
And these agonies they endured in a
tropical heat land without anything to
drink. When the miserable wretches
were half dead with exhaustion they
were simply shot down like wild
beasts" Among other Draconic meas
ures which the writer of the dairy
mentions flogging stands at the head,
and fogging, as may be remembered,
was the cause of the late revolt in the
Cameroons.
1t is in connection with these occur
rences that Herr Laist Chancellor to
the government of the Cameroons has
been recalled and will shortly be- tried.
He is held responsible for the flogging
scandals which are said to have taken
place That cruelties have been prac-
tised upon the natives by their German
ruler seems clearly established by
the statement sent from tho Cam
eroons by the special commits
sioner despatched by the govern
ments to investigate matters on the
spot 1t is said that in several in
stances prisoners were skinned alive
and that native women were subjected
to great brutality. The details of the
atrocities described by the commits
sioner are 30 hideous as to convey the
idea that the German officials and SOL

He Is Asked to Reform From Obnoxious
Teachings.
SARATOGA, N. Y. May 2r,-The COM
mittee appointed by the Presbyterian
General assembly to confer with Prof.
smith concerning his future conduct
today completed arrangements for
the formal visit THIS will take
place at 0 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. The committee was instruc
ted to obtain from the condemed pro-
fessor an expression that would satisfy
the Cincinnati presbytery that he
would refrain from teaching and
preaching his obnoxious views. Friends
OF Professor Smith have been anxious
about this interview.
1t is thoroughly understood by every
body that Professor Smith can make
no such promises His friends fear,
then, that his response to the commit
tee If q direct answer is sought to a
formal question such us twill you
cease preaching and teaching the
doctrine of Errancy," will appear to
be further exhibition of con
tumacy, and will further ALLEVIATE the
general assembly from him. 1t was
with this in view that they visited the
members of the committee to-day.
They urged the committee not to put
the direction question and not to ask
for direct answer.
1t was understood that this was
agreed to.
Under these circumstances the COM
mittee's visit to Professor Smith was
merely in exchange of courteses, and
nothing can be accomplished but the
completion of the record, so as to make
it appear that a committee of confer.
ence was appointed and that no salts
factory answer WAS ATTAINED.
