ScorTpALE, Pa, May 4.-The north
3end OF tho Counollsville cokc region is
in fever OF fear, eIcitomont and nux.

l,inevitable unless this strike 10 speedily
settled.
"a The battle to-day was between strik-
sinG Poles, small number Of deputies,

Sers' sido were shot, and two OF tho men

The Painter plant was closed down

Early this morning Joe sconesky's
9wife went about to tho other houses

many savage affairs in which women
.snnsexed themselves by deeds Of cruel
:Sviolence, but the old timers say that
never before has thorc been seen such
sspec,acle as this. Every person in the
5assaplting party had some sort Of strik-

Roddy was beaten and cut about tho

CoSEELLsvILLE, Pa, May 4.-The
prompt action Of the coal companies in
arming large force OF men ut the
works in the Vanderbilt region pre-.
vented a riot hero to-day. Tho mob
that closed down the Fort Hill works
yesterday remained In camp all night
preparing to attack tho Paul and Nellio
mines, but whom they learned that IN
army OF deputies was patrollinS the
works they concluded to delay the at
tack and dispersed. Tho lenders cay
the strikers will assemble again as soon
as the deputies are withdrawn.
Tho strikers havc adopted code OF
signals by which they can be collected
at any point in that vicinity on short
notice. but the operators say thoy will
keep the deputies on guard as long as
there is any. danger Of violence. The
men at Fort Hill who were forced out
returned to work Immediately after the
mob had dispersed, and are working
under protection OF fifty Winchcsto,s.
The formidable display OF Winchesters
at Moyer also discouraged tho mob of
strikers there, aud they dispersed ut
midnight. The leaders had promised
toromain in camp till the Meyer plant
closed down, but they knew conflict
with tho deputies, numbering eighty,
would provo disastrous and concluded
to wait.

VIOLENCE IS FEARED.

At no time since the strike was
iuaugurated has violence beon 60 i'm
minent as at present. Tho Wholesale
evictions contemplated next week, and
the attempt by the leading companies
to resume tomorrow or Monday are
sure to result in violence. The leading
companies say they will start unless tho
Rainey works are closed down to.mor.
row. Rainey is securing all the large
contracts at handsome figures. and the
other companies will not stand idly by
and SEQ themselves ruled out OF the
market Two OF the loading companies
announce that they will start up all
their works if in doing SO they have to
deputize half their mon and ask for pro.
lection from the state troops.
A number of deputies were sent to
the Calumet works to-day. There is
every indication OF trouble there and at
Mammoth. Miuers from Latrobe and
other places gathered there and camped
on the hillside. During tho day they
paraded to and fro past the works ut
Mammoth. The red flag was prom
inently displayed and incendiary
threats were uttered. The mines in

HE FACED HIS ENEMIES.

An Episode at the Presbyterian
 Church on Wednesday Night.
 A somewhat exciting episode occurred at the Presbyterian mid-week meeting on Wedesday night. In the midst of the services decent appearing stranger entered the church and walked down the main aisle stopping directly in front of the pastor, Mir. Mckinney. Are you the pastor of this church ?' he asked. II am," replied the pastor ''is there anything can do for you." The stranger then proceeded to say that he was pF0spector but that his busi- ness had been greatly hampered by the machinations of his enemies without cause, nong' whom were the Masons, Odd Fellows and churches. He had been, he said fleeing for years from these pursuers until he was wearied of the flight and had determined to stop and face them, inquire of them the cause of th9 persecution and atone for any wrong he had done them.
 MT. Mckinney speaking for his church assured the stranger that it en. tertained no designs against hlm. He bowed low, turned and walked out.

NO HOME RULE. Spain Will Grant Cuba Certain Privileges. Desiring to Evade the

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The govern ment of Spain in an earnest desire to evade threatened tariff war between Cuba and the United States has under serious and favora ble consideration the concession to Caba of the privilege of ar- ranging her own revenue budget in- cluding tariffs with the United States. This Cuban budget is to be subject to the approval of Spain. The negotia- tions now progressing at Madrid are partly on these lines.
 The state department authorities are proceeding, nevertheless, with their rataliatory plans, as they do not believe Spain's conces- sion to Cuba can be carried en and made beneficial to the United States for some months 10 come. The significance of the matter in it's con- mercial and political aspects is fully re- alized, and it is said Spain will be care- ful not to relinquish her sovereignty over the island nor to permit this to become the first step toward Cuban In- dependence. For that reason the con- templated privilege will not include full "home rule."

IT RAINED CATS.
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Throw
 Off a Burden.

Manager Goodell of the Arizona Tele- graph company has been having 8 feline experience. By births and other accumulative processes it came to pass that six cats were domiciled st his house. It did rot cost much to keep a half dozen cats and they were not very much in the way. But Mr. Goodell SEW in that half dozen cats the nucleus of colony whose support would after while become burden quite dispro- portionate to his stlary.
 He determined, therefore. to get rid of them. Oae night week ago he tied three of them in bag and took them far down ths Tempe road. The next night he took the last installmsnt away and the Goodeli home was catless, but the void thus created was not painful one.
 If there is one thing in which the common house cat particularly excels it is an instinctive knowledge of direc- tion.
 On Christmas Eve Mir. Goodeli's cats 1 began to return home. They did not come in a body, but kept dropping in one by one, dssulsory shower of cats. The last one arrived on Wednesday night, bringing with it strange cat which had been picked up somewhese along the road. Mr. Goodell has given the subject great deal of earnest thought since then, the result of which has been that he has decided to make no further effort to expel the cats. He will let the accumulation go on in the regular way and bear up under tue bur den IS long and as bravely as possible but he will rot hasten the evil day by inviting any further immigration.
