Adjutant General Robbins, left here for
Cannelsburg. They we're joined at Sew.

the situation was serious. The sheriff at

posse, to move coal cars side-tracked there,
but was driven away by the strikers.

The news OF the governors ordering ont

and the strikers declared that they were
ready to whip any force the governor
might send. They were said to be we'll
supplied with giant powder, with which
they threatenen to blow up any train
which attempted to bring soldiers into
their midst. The feeling at Terre Haute,
point in touch with the miners troubles.
was that the force ordered out was insult
ficient and that bloodshed could not be
averted. The Cannelburg strikers carried
things in highhanded manner until the
report of the troops being ordered out, and
they teleeraphed the governor they had
been grossly misrepresented and that
there was no need of the militia.

SULLIVAN Ind. June 4.-Three companies
of state militia Were brought here, num-
bering about $50 men. They remained
until an engine and cabcose came up
from Evansville, and following the regu-
lar train for the north the special with
the troops went to Shelburn. A short
distance south of the station the special
stopped, when the soldiers got off and
in phanlaDX with fixed Dayonets marched
up and surrounded the coal cars The
engine backed in and the cars were coupled
together and the train moved out without
a word of protest on the part of about $50
miners.
One old lady with pistol under her
apron marched out ready for action with
the militia and was caught and scuffied
with by Sheriff Mills until he secured the
gun. The miners had each car branded
'scab coal" The miners made threats
that this did not mean much to them. and
that the Evansville and Terre Haute
should not ship coal unless they kept a
standing army Mt Shelburn ali the time
As soon as the miners on guard heard of
the militia at Sullivan they began firing
an anvil to let the outside miners know
what was coming, but they did not get
their expected help. Several hundred
people gathered to see the battle between
the miners and the militia.
After the militia had finished their work
they came back TO sullivan and went into
camp at the fair grounds with only one
man in the hospital. He accidentally
dropped his revolver and striking the ham,

ing him in the foot. Sheriff Mills has left
Shclburn, going on TO Alum Cave and de-
manding the coal the miners had side

grocery houses in this city and the

liabilities are 800. 900, and the assets

of Inheritance.

NEW YORK, June 4-John Lane died at
his home on West Thirty-fifth street. AS
he was dying grouped about the bedside
of the dying man were his two sons, Mich
ael. aged 81 and Daniel, aged -; his daugh-
ter and her 16-year-o!d son and several
neighbors. Extreme unction had scarcely
been given before Daniel began dis
pu;e over the question of inheritance with
his brother. The old man was in the last
agonies, but made n feeble gesture for
Daniel to stop. The younger son contin-
ued to talk until Michael tried to lead him
from the bedside. Daniel then knocked
Michael down. The two struggled and
finally Michael subdued his enraged
brother. He pinned him to the floor. A
neighbor hurried for policeman, and as
Daniel was taken from the bedchamber to
the Jail the old man died.

WASHINGTON, Ind, June 4.-The state
troops marehed into Clark's station 500
strong with a eating gun to find that
only about fifty miners had stayed to face
the music. The militia was drawn up in
line along the edge of the woods and Sher-
if Leming then read the warrant az ainst

placed three of the leaders, Squirrel Sum-
mers, Dick Gate and John Flynn. under
arrest. bringing them this city and plac-
ing them in Jail. As soon rs the troops
were in line the railroad men at once re-
paired the track and the loaded cars were
taken on west.
The thousand miners who were reported
en- route to Clark's Station did not ma
terialize; neither had they collected at any
point along the the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern. The certainty that the
officers intended to enforce the law seemed
to quell the rebellious feeling among the
men The miners say that as soon as the
troops are Withdrawn they will again stop
all coal cars, but anticipating this two
companies will be stationed at Clark 5
until all fear of trouble is past. Every
thing in this city is quiet and trains load

The Navy. Fir., Need. More Men

Great as Is the need of additional vessels
for our navy, the immediate need Just now
attracting attention is that Of additional
crews TO man the vessels we already have.
Several large ships arc now either ready
for commission or approaching completion,
which must remain tied up at their docks
unless men are provided for them.
A d=vics which may be adopted for the
next few months N that Of putting certain
older ships out OF commission in order to
usO their crews as the complementso of newer
ships. This can be done with the Adams,
which has been damaged in Behring Sea,
while next spring the Chicago will come
home for extensire repairs, so that more
men will then be available. But it Is a
queer state Of things when the prospect of
having 20 repair q vessel Is welcomed at
the Navy Department because her men can
be used elsewhere.
IL has been estimated that about 9, 900
more men are now required for the ships
ready or quite completed. This force Con
Eress should authorize at its next session.
1t is a mistake to lay up seryieesble wooden
vessels simply in order TO get the use OF their
crews elsewhere.
It may Be that not all Of our heavy battle
ships will b kept constantly In commission,

September Is bringing, as usual, the an
nnal military evolutions and sham battles in
which the great European armies indulge. The
Austrian manmuvres OF the past week culmi-
mated In an engagement under the walls of
Landskron, the roar OF 100 guns adding to the
effect OF splendid cavalry chargeI and infantry
fighting. Emperor WILLIAM reviewed some Of
his troops near K0nlgsberg. The President Of
France will review, IL is said, about 100, 900
men near Chateaudun. Russia will have her
army evolutions, and, indeed, the month will be
one OF noteworthy military shows.
Autumn manRuvres are rarely seen In tho
United states even on the most limited scale.
Occasionally an entcrpr!sing brigade or division
OF State troops may attempt them, in single
half days exercises, but II is raro that regulars
have troops enough together for the purpose,
though this year the gathering at Fort Sheridan
gave an opportunity which was duly improved.
Yet II would seem that in the neighborhood OF
some great cities, where tolcrably large garrl-
sons are stationed, and whero several thousand
militia could be concentrated. a practice OF an
nual autumn maneuvres might be useful to all
concerned. They would be on a very dimuni-
tive scale compared with the September dis
plays on the Continent Of Europe, but they
might have certain value.

Maine.

Ths returns from the Vermont election
show that the Democrats OF the Green
Mountain State have lost twenty six per
cent. OF their vote The value Of the Maine
election to-day TO the political statistician
will be in the corroboration or contradiction
which it will give to the Vermont election
~ test Of the feeling of the country in re-
gard TO the Democratic party. Everybody
expects that the plurality OF the Hon.
HENRY b. CLEAvEs for Governor will be
big, even II 1t doesn't reach the $4,000 pre-
dicted by that whirlwind optimist, the Hon.
JOE MANLEY.
The plurality Of Mr.. CLEAvEs in 1899 was
1881. Mr.. CHARLES f. JOHNSON, who Is
again the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, got 6,O7S votes In 1892. II we under
stand Cuckoo mathematics, nny reduction
less than twenty-six per cent. OF Mr.. JONI
SONS vote in 1899 is to be regarded as n
victory. There have been several defec-
tions Of prominent Maine Democrats this
summer, Mr.. HAROLD NJ SEwALL's name
being the best known In the list.
Mr. REED. Mr.. MILLIKEN, Captain
BoUTELLE, and Governor DINGLEY have no
worry beyond the possible loss Of n hat
or box of Portland Flngrants over the
size Of their pluralitics. There are obvious
reasons why Mr.. REED would not object to
q sensational plurality, and his generous
rival, Governor MCKINLEY, has grudged no
effort to give IL to him. In regard to the
Legislature to be chosen, the only question
IL ~ to the mitigation or aggravation OF the
Democratic loneliness in that body.

Those OF the Venezuela gold fields which
have been seized by England will very certainly
be held by her as long gold can DO got from
them. President CREsPo has learned that he
cannot recover them by force, but he has been
led to believe that he can induce England to
surrender them by visiting Lord RosEBERY at
London. and proving to him, with the aid of old
documents and maps, that they belong right
fully TO Venezuela. CREsPo is the most success
ful soldier the shrewdest politician, and tho
cleverest diplomstist In Venezuela, but how is
1t possible for him TO think that England will
succumb to any argument he can offer while
conducting personal negotiations with tho
head Of the Foreign Once in Londonr The
mere fact that, in the territory under dispute.
there are rich gold fieds profitable TO British
companies, renders futile all negotiations for
the withdrawal Of British troops from that de-
