Pitched Battle Between the Coke
Workers and the Town Authori-
ties at scottdaIe, Pa.-One Negro
Killed.

Scottdale, Pa, July 9.-Scottdale is the
scene of the widest excitement tonight.
A regular pitched battle was fought be-
tween the coke workers and the town au-
thoriuies, and one negro is fatally shot and
will die before morning.
This afternoon, the negroes came in town
and made for the Pennsylvania coke
plant, which they attacked with stones
and clubs. Six Huns were found near
was then made for Scottdale, the mad
dened negroes entering the town each
armed with clubs and revolvers. A fight
was soon raised between the negroes and
the police authorities.
The colored men became frantic, and
in a few seconds resolved themselves into
a mob and commenced shooting. The
officers called upon the citizens for help
and rush was made for them, when
they all took to their heels and ran out
Of town. They were followed by three OF
four hundred citizens, who gave them
close pursuit in the face of volley after
volley of shots from revolverS in the
hands of the negroes.
When 200 yards out of the town, one
negro fell shot in the head, while tbs
others made their escape.
Word has been received from the plant
that the negroes are arning themselves
with Winchester rifles and will return tc

charge by the police. The citizens are ir
a fever of excitement. The Sons of Vet.
Grams headquarters have been looted OF
its guns and every firearm to be found
has been brought into requisition The
iron workers in the mills are in sympathy
with the strikers, and are in high rage
and swear vengeance against the mig.
gers if they return.
The streets are now filled with a howl
ing and angry crowd, and the police of tn.
town is greatly threatened.

FIRED OVER RIOTERS HEADS.
But They Killed Some Innocent
People.

Danville, H., July 9.-Mrs. Michael
Glennan and Miss Clara James were
killed, and an unknown man mortally
wounded at Westvllle this afternoon
by a volIey fired over the heads of
crowd of rioting miners by company
of militia.
The miners had been rioting IN this
vicinity since yesterday afternoon. Dur
ing last night, number of freight cars
were destroyed in the Eastern Illinois
yards by incendiary fires. This fore
noon a number of cars were derailed at
When the wreckage had been cleared
the inbound passenger train proceeded
without molestation until Westville was
reached. Then it stopped before it was
held Word was telegraphed to Dan
Vile and special tram with a company
of the state troops started at once for
the scene of the trouble. About one
mile from Westville large crowd OF
miners had collected and upon the ap-
proach of the train bearing the militia
began warlike demonstrations. Pistols
were fired at the troops, who returned
the fire, shooting over the heads of the
mob from the train, intending to scare
them. Miss Clara James, the H-year-
old daughter of Jonas James was stand
ing in the doorway of her home. A
bullet struck her just below the right
breast and she died almost instantly.

S. P. SHOULD SHOW CAUSE
Why They Should Not BE Compelled
to OperIte.

Why They Should Not BE Compelled
to Operate.
Washington, July 9-The statement is
photographed here from California that
the strikers are about to apply to the
United States court to compel the
Southern Pacific Railway company to
show cause why they should not be
compelled to operate their roads under
the terms of their charter This was
not isagreeable news to the war de
partment, and they rather hoped that
such step would be taken for it
would oblige the railroad company to
supplement the efforts Of the military
by every means in their power, and
there is a suspicion that it has been a
little lax in this respect so far.
Senators Dubois and Shoup, of Idaho,
called at the White House this morn
ing, to lay before the President Gov
ernor McConnelPs message, urging the
President to send troops to Wallace,
Ida, to restore order. The senators
/ were in conference with the President
for some time, but apparently the gov
ernor'5 statement was not entirely
tsatisfa ctorfy in demonstrating that the
conditions are such as to warrant
sending troops to Wallace, for no orders
to that end have been issued.

San Francisco, July 9.-The twelfth day
of the great strike on the Southern Pa
cific system closes with not wheel turn
ing in Northern California. AT Sacra-
mento, Oakland, San Jose and this point
the situation is unchanged. The South
ern Pacific managers are utterly help
less and appear to be making no effort
to resume traffic.
Tonight there is an added excitement,
however, caused by the news that
United States marines from Mare Island
and regular troops have been ordered to
Oakland to begin the fight that the
Southern Pacific managers have so long
been waiting for the government TO
make.
Leaders Of the strikers in Oakland say
there win be nc organized resistance OF
the troops, but they openly declare that
the strikers have resolved to conduct
a guerrilla warfare.
Every one knows what this means, and
many citizens are fearful of the events
of tomorrow.
Governor Markham has been warned
of the approaching danger, and Is hur-
rying from Los Angeles to the state
capital.
The fact that the authorities have de-
cided to begin operations against the
strikers at Oakland and not at Sac
ramento, where the men have already
been angered and provoked to the point
of arming themselves with rifles, is sig
nif1cant.
IN southern California the railroads
seem to have all but broken the block

Ryan and His Rig I.

New York, July 9.-John Ryan, who
comes here as the representative of
President Debs, was at the Continental
hotel today.
"The STRIKE said Mr.. Ryan, will

thing. In the event of a strike reaching

One hundred deputies from Princeton have
been ordered to Spring Valley and they
will arrive during the night.
Half the population of Bureau county is
remaining up tonight in the various towns
receiving the latest reports from the seat
of the trouble.
The greatest apprehension is felt for the
safety of the men who have gone for
ward. Ninety deputies are on guard at
Seatonville tonight. Everything is quiet
there, as it thought a large part of the
men have left the place for Spring Valley.
| Home guards are being organized in a
dozen different points in this vicinity. The
citizens are in a great state of excitement.
At Tiskilwa two companies, of thirty men
each have been organized. The other
towns having an organized force and
ready to move at once are Maiden, Arl-
ington, Walnut, Buda, Depue, Bureau and
! Laceyville
All last night and today scouts on horse
back have been out from each town on
the public highways, watching all means
of approach to the various towns The
rioters have cut the telephone and tele-
graph wires to such an extent that it is
difficult to get news throughout the coun-
| try and mining towns.

BRITANNIA WINS AGAIN.
Foreign Breezes Do Not Agree With
the VigiIant.

Hunters Quay, Firth of Clyde, July
9.-The Viligant in today's racing of the
Royal Clyde Yacht club regatta spread
her new main sail, and was slightly
altered in the trim and at the start she
crossed the line two seconds ahead of
the Britannia. AT the Cloche light
house the Vigilant was two lengths
ahead and gaining.
The Viligants jib top-sail did her
but little good and it was lowered.
From under Weymss the yachts stood
long distance out on the port tack,
the Vigilant going further out than the
Britannia. Near Skelmorlie, the first
mark, both yachts had been travelling
in close company. AS the Vigilant lost
the breeze first. the Britannia hauled
her in, but the Vigilant, in light air,
soon pulled out clear from the Brit
annia's lee until she was some lengths
ahead. At Skelmorlie, time: Vigilant,
12:14.1S; Britannia, 12:15.21.
At Innelan, near Ascog, the Vigilant
was becalmed. and the Britannia rolled
past her.
Round the Ascog mark, the times
were: Britannia, 1881; Vigilant, l.
Hi.
At Cloche Point, the Britannia was
| leading the Vigilant three minutes five
seconds.
Passing Gourock, the Vigilant led by
length. The winds were light and
variable on the way to Kiicraggan,
calling for the best seamanship of the
! yachtsmen.
? The yachts from this point had a
wearisome drift home. The Britannia
won, crossing the line at 5:34:45, and
the vigilant at 5:44:19. With time al
lowance, the Britannia won by IL min
utes, 4 seconds. The people here
cheered the yachts as they came in,
but the universal opinion is that to-
days contest was no test of the rela-
tive merits of the boats and that the
question of superiority is not yet de-
cided.
The vigilant and the Britannia will
have another chance tomorrow, meet
ing in the race for the Clyde Corinthian
cup, valued at ECO, over the same
course.

Negotiations for this purpose are al
most completed, and a telegram is ex-
pected at the department tomorrow
from Division Superintendent Flint, at
San Francisco, announcing the plan is
to be in force until the strike is declar-
| ed off, and a better condition of affairs
exists in the state. About a dozen
special service routes have been order
I ed to connect tied-up routes with unin-
| terrupted roads at available points.
Most of these are in California,

sued by the president. General Schofield
