ADMIRAL MEADE's PUNISHMENT.
Revocation of the Years Leave of Absence
Granted Him.

Granted Him.
WASHING roN May 16-The secretary of
the navy has issued an order revoking the
leave OF absence granted to Rear Admiral
Meade several days ago. When Admiral
Meade became dissatisfied with his com
mand, and asked to be detached from the
command OF the North Atlantic squad
ron, he also asked for leave Of absence
OF year, with permission to go abroad,
saying at the same time that he would
also In day or two ask to be retired.
The request to be detached was immedi.
ately granted, as was the request for the
years leave of absence. Then came the re.
quest to be retired, but before any action
could be taken the interview was pub
lished which has caused so much diff.
Guilty. No action has been taken upon
the request for retirement, but the action
revoking the leave of absence indicates
that the request for retirement will not be
granted. The effect will be to place Ad-
miral Meade on waiting orders subject to
any duty at any time which the depart
meht may desire to assign him.
1t was understood that the leave of alb
sense granted to Admiral Meade contained
permission TO go abroad, and he intended
to spend the summer in Europe. He could
not go abroad while on waiting orders
without violating the naval regulations.
II he were not ready to respond to any
order of the department when issued he
would be subject to discipline for not
obeying orders
1t is believed now that 1t Is hardly likely
that any action will be taken to court
martial Admiral Meade for his expression
OF dtsapproval Of the administration, as it
is believed TO be impossible to obtain tes-
timony from competent witnesses.

It is to bs hoped, 10 the interest of our
sorely-tred farmers, that the exception.
ally cold weather will not be found to
have done the amount of damage that was
feared. The area OF the cold wave has
been remarkable. On the llth and 18th 1t
spread over nearly the entire country east
of the Rocky mountains, with freezing
temperatures In the Northern States and
light frost ss far south as the western Dor.
tlon OF south Carolina.
The line OF freezing extended from
Montana southeastward to NebrasEa,
thence northward to North Dakota and
eastward through the southern portlons
of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan,
Northern Ohio and Pennsylvania and
Western New York. The mercury fell 10
10 degrees below freezing In Montana and
Mtnnesots. Ice was formed In New York
ard great damage was done to orchards
and Nineyards.
In Delaware, Maryland and the South
no very great damage was DONE it ap.
pears, up to Tuesday night. There is now
a promise of fair weather. with rising
temperature. The storm which was over
Lake Michigan Monday has moved east
ward over Lake Erie, producing snow In
the northern lake region and rain In the
middle and upper Ohio Valley and Middle
Atlantic States.

Many of the Old Men Going Back and Men

Strike.

Many Other Industries Paraiyzed by the
Strike.
RICHMOND, Va, May 16, - Governor
O'Ferrall returned from Pocahontas more
shan ever convinced that there would have
been trouble Of the most serious character
at that place but for the presence Of the
military.
Just look at the situation" said he.
ssThere were from 1000 to 8,0c0 striking
miners from West Virginia, comprised
largely Of Fungarians, Poles and other
foreigners, Coming into Pooahontas to
force the men in those mines to go out.
or course the authorities there would have
been powerless, and that there would have
been rloting and destruction Of property
and loss Of life Is certain.
II have grpat sympathy with tho West
Virginia miners" he went on. "rhey
have been badly treated, and they are
being made the cats paw Of the coal ope'
ratofs, for this is coal operators strikb."
The governor is satisfied that the opor.
stors forced the West Virginia miners to
strike to SECURE REDUCTION Of freight
charges. The operators at Pocahontas,
however, he says, have stood by their
agreement, and the men are entirely sat
tsfied with their treatment. Many miners,
the governor says. would return to work
but for fears growing out of the fact chat
tho West Virginia miners, who are backed
by their operators, are threatening them
with violence If they work. and it is to
protect these men that the governor is
keeping troops at Pooahontas.
As result of the strike, industries all
along the Norfolk and Western lines are
shut down, and thousands of people are
thus thrown out Of employment The
governor intended to relieve from duty
the Roanoke machine works guards, u
company composed Of workingmen from
those shops, but has left them on duty on
petition of the men themselves, who stated
shat they preferred to remain as soldiers
70 going home to be Idle.
The situation, he added, is improving.
There were 300 men at work In the mines
Of the Southwest company on Tuesday
Bixty more went on Tuesday night, zoo
more yesterday, and 400 more today. The
company is taking back Its old men upon
application. except in the case of fow OBJ
