207 strong, left their guarded enclosure

MANY Recruits From Homestead.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, April 5.-Coxey's

MOST OF them are Hungarians and Sla-

knowledge whatever OF Coxoy's pur-
poses. Some OF Coxey's supporters fear
that this element will make the army a
disorderly body. as IL now stands the
entire force numbers about 500, conse-
quently the question Of feeding and

rious one.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, April 5.-Yester.
days tragic events in the coke regions
appear te have had SOLDERING effect on
the strikers, and it is hardly probable
that there will be q repetition of such
bloody work. With the discovery of the
bodies Of eight Hungarian strikers in
the woods near Dawson the fatalities OF
yesterday are increased to ten, with
many more seriously injured than was
first known.
The eight dead st;ikors were un-
doubtedly killed by the party pursuing
the Paddock murderers. No definite
information as to the cause of the death
of tho eight has been obtained up to
this time.
The arrest of President Davis, of the
district organization, has had de-
moralizing effect on the strikers. Davis
was landed in Jail here this morning at
Q O'Clock charged with completely in the
murder of Chief Engineer Paddock,
Davis was the ninety-fifth striker ar
rested for the Paddock murder. Davis
said he was sorry for yesterdays oc.
curreDces, but the foreign element could
not be controlled He feels certain
that he cannot be connected with the
killing OF Paddock. He will ask for a
habeas corpus hearing at once, and ex
poets to BIO discharged on bail
The general feeling among the more
intelligent strikers is that they cannot
win against so much feeling stirred up
against them by yesterdays troubles,
together with the unpropitious time for
a strike. The foreign element, how
ever, are nothing damned, and any
further bloodshed will BE- caused by
them.
At all the plants where work is being
attempted the strikers are gathered in
large numbers. At Mount Braddock,
the famous Hill Farm mines and Rain.
ros Meyer works, there are several
hundred strikers gathered about waiting
for an attempt to operate the plants.
Depu ties are at all the plants armed
with Winchesters. The operators have
decided not to try to run these work at
present. AS consequence Of the gen
eral feeling OF Encouragement the big
raid planned for to day will not occur.
Warrants are out for all the officers of
the strikers organization, but only
Davis and Secretary Darby have been
arrested.

Few Hours OF Vigorous Attack-Iallen-

Great Rejoicing.
YOKOHAMA. Nov. 4.-Advices re-
ceived here from the front show tnab
there has been heavy fighting In the
country Just north of Port Arthur.
The dispatches received are brief ana
are silent on some important points.
It appears that Field Marshal Oymla
divided his forces. While one division
landed on the east coast of the PENN
sula north of Talienwan, another d1vl-
sion was detached, with orders TO
effect landing near Kinchow ana 10
proceed thence and join the main oooy
of the army.
This operation was complete sue
cess The Japanese encountered no
Chinese war ships, and the transports
reached Kayenko and disembarked
troops, guns, horses and munitions In
safety. Kinchow, which is walled
town, and which was believed to be
held by a large garrison, was immedi-
ately attacked. The outer defenses
were carried by the japanese after a
few hours fighting The Chinese made
little further resistance, and the Jap
anese were soon masters of the place.
Yesterday was the sixty-second an
niversary of the birth of the Mikado.
There was great public rejoicing over
the victories thus far won by the ia
panese army.
Up to the time of sending this dis
patch there has been no confirmation
of the report of the capture OF Port
Arthur.
A dispatch to the Times from Tien-
Tsin says: Fen Haup Chen has been
burned. The Chinese defense of Mouk-
den has collapsed. Cold weather has
commenced and snow has fallen in
Manchuria. The japanese cleverly
landed at Pitzwo while making
demonstration off the coast of Shan
tung and cut the wires, thus pre-
venting the news of their position
reaching the Chinese. The admiral of
the Chinese feet with fourteen vessels
besides torpedoe boats, afterwards
started to attack them but was re-
called. Prince Kung, the emperor's
uncle, has been appointed dictator,
thus indicating the further centraliza-
ton of authority. The Manchu
princes favor reforms, but the Chinese
