ARMED ITALIAN STRIKERS,
-Four Hundred Men Organize to Drive Out
Workers in Pennsylvania Limestone
OUnrrjes

NEWCASTLE, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE su-
perintendent of the Carbon limestone
quarries notified Sheriff Becker this morn
ing that $50 armed Italians were march
ing toward Newcastle from the scene of
the strike at Carbon and HiIltown.
There were about 400 in line armed with
guns, revolvers, picks ana clubs, and the
leader, Benjamin AlIerhouse, said it was
their intention to march to Newcastle and
compel the men employed in the Sheep
hill quarries to quit work.
The gang marched to Bessemer, where
they stopped force who were operating
steamshovel. 1t was decided to postpone
the raid on the Newcastle quarries until
tomorrow.
The strikers held mass-meeting this
afternoon to complete the organization
for the raid. Sheriff Becker will organize
force TO send out in the morning in case
OF further trouble.

BARON EAEA'S INQUIRY.
The italian Em6ass1dor Asks for Official
Information Regarding the Recent
Lynchinq in Louisiana.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug. 1.-Baron
Fava, the Italian ambassador, who is
summering at Bar Harbor, has tele-
graphed the State Department, in accord
anee with cabled instructions from his
Government, asking for official informa-
ton regarding the lynching OF three al
legged Italian sabiects in Louisiana as re-
ported in the newspap pers. The State De-
partment has promptly called on the Gov
ernor of Louisiana for full report OF the
occurrence, in order that a suitable reply
ean be made to the ambassador. II it can
be found that that the Italians were nat
uralized American citizens the inquiry will
stop, as the Italian Government can no
longer take any interest in the affair, but
II. as In cases of similar lynchings of Ital-
tans In Louisiana and Colorado, the men
are shown to be aliens to the United
States, an indemnity will undoubtedly be
demanded and Congress asked to appro-
pirate for that purpose, as it did in former

WAS BRYAN RE TA|NED2
An Omaha Paper Insists That
He Was Employed by
Silver Kings.
The Income From His Law Practice
and Newspaper Work Would
Not Support Him.

OMAHA, NEB., Aug. 1.-THE Bee will
tomorrow print an editorial entitled
"Was Bryan Retainedf" which concludes
as follows:
''The inevitable logic of the peculiar
com bination of circumstances under which
Mr.. Bryan has for two years been EN-.
ployed exclusively as an advance agent oi
the silver kings is that he has been re.
tanned ana remunerated for his services
Everybody hereabouts knows that Mr..
Bryan has had no known income except
from his own earnings. His law practice
has always been insignificant. His edi-
torship of an Omaha paper was nominal.
He performed no work for the paper be-
yond few casual contributions, and the
paper was not in position to pay salary
to any one who did not earn it.
Without visible means of support and
no capital to draw from, how was it pos
sible for Mr.. Bryan to travel tens of thou
sands of miles from one end of the coun-
try to the other on his speech-ma king
tours, and to spend weeks at Washington
lobbying for the silver interests without a
retainerf With what did he buy several
thousand dollars worth of stock in the
Omaha World-Herald, if not with the pro-
ceeds of his free silver agitation2 Nobody
pretends that Mr.. Bryan would have been
committing crime if he did accept a re-
tainer from the bonanza syndicate or
blmetallic league, which has notoriously
retained other gifted orators and states
men. As lawyer Mr.. Bryan has right
to take all the retainers be can persuade
the people to pay him. The only point OF
public concern is whether or not the silver
candidate for the Presidency of the United
States has always been an unselfsh and
unbought champion of legalized reputa-
tion,"

Trouble NarrotUIy Arerted at South
Carolina Campaign Meeting.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. ia Sun
special from Union, S. c., says; At the
campaign meeting here yesterday a per-
sonal encounter between Governor John
Geary Evans and John F. Duncan, candi-
date for the United States Senate, was
only prevented by Sheriff Long of this
county stepping between them.
Duncan was making an attack on Evans
record, asserting that he got SIS, 900 in a
deal by which the State bonds were re-
funded, and also trying to implicate him
in the receiving of rebates on the whisky
purchased for the dispensary Evans re-
marked to bystander that Duncan could
not tell the truth. Duncan sprang toward
him and had got within striking distance
when the Sheriff showed him back, Dun
can then charged Evans with taking dis.
pensary constables around at the States
expense to protect his cowardly bones.
He also declared that Evans refused to
sign statement denying that he told
Liquor Commissioner Nixon that Tillman
had lined his pockets with dispensary re-
bates.

BOSTON, MASS, Aug. u.-Miss Lillian
Whiting, an intimate friend Of the late

following letter regarding a report that
she had sent for Miss Fields body to be
exhumed and forwarded to her here in
Boston:

OF the earthly presence of my most beloved
friend when the tidtngs reached me in Paris
and made me feel that "the worlds great space
held nothing but vacan place.; in this first
shadow OF great grief. wrote instantly to
Miss Fields cousin and dearest relative,
George Riddle, and also to Consul-General
Mills at Honolulu expressing my earnest wish
that the casket containing her mortal form
should be brought to Mount Auburn and her
grave be made beside her parents and other
relatives buried there. This was merely an
earnest wish, not command which had no
right to give; but when I came to know OF that
wonderful outpouring of love and devotion
to Kate Field by the people of Howaii then
came fully concur with Mr.. Riddles decision
that the casket should receive final burial in
the lot OF one of Miss Fields nearest friends in
Honolulu, Mrs. Wilder, who wrote begging
that this might be granted. And so the cousin
who was dearest to her and other of her
nearer friends have fully accepted this ar
rangement.
have united with Mr.. Riddle in letters to
the San francisco papers, begging that their
action cease. gratefully as their interest is ap-
pree1ated. To her grave am soon to make my
pilgrimage, to meet the friends whose tender
devotion to her has so comforted those who
knew and loved her here; to study the scenes
whose beauty delighted her eye and often en-
gagged her pen. l have returned from Europe
In midsummer in order to the more quickly
set on on this journey-one that though
sacred should not be wholly sad. Kate Fields
richly versatile genius transplanted to more
favorable conditions will find It's perfect flow

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 11.-With
one-third of August passed the Treasury
situation does not show that improvement
that was reasonably hoped for. The re-
ceipts foot up So, $50, 600 and the expendi-
lures SIG, ,655, 600, leaving deficit SO far of
$40, 295, 900. 1t is probable that this deficit
will be lesssned somewhat before the end
of August.
The gold reserve at the close of business
to-day stood at $1o7, 7,1o4, ,2s1, decrease
since August 4, when the reserve reached
It's recent maximum of $500, 900. Then
the reserve stood at ITO, 7S2, 900, built up
from $S9, ,669, 900 on July %, it's lowest re.
cent point by National banks contributing
S26, 100000
Since July % the legal tender notes held
by the Treasury, which were paid out for
the gold paid in and which are redeem
able in gold on presentation, have de-
creased from $S7, 7,s9o 900 to s69, 250, 900.
Since July the Treasury has redeemed

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 11.-Orders
have been given by the Treasury Depart
ment directing the disbandment of the
Bering Sea patrol feet on or about the 18th
instant. All of the vessels, with the pos
sible exception of the revenue cutter Wal
colt will return south at that time The Wal
colt will leave Bering Sea for the Pacific
Slope about November 1, her presence in
the North Pacific waters being desired to
prevent any attempts at pelagic sealing up
to the date of her departure
That the cutters forming the patrol
have been doing excellent work is evinced
by the fact that they have covered about
$4,000 miles up to the present time, and
this figure will reach 5O, 900 before their re-.
turn. A large number of vessels have
been overhauled and boarded, and upon
being found to be without evidence of
Illegal sealing have been allowed to con-
tinue their voyage. Others have been
warned against committing the offense.
One vessel has been seized for pelagic seal
ing. Captain Hooper, commanding the
fleet, who has made his headquarters at
Unalaska, has reported to the department
that seals are plentiful this season north
of Pr1byloff Islands.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 11.-Chairman
Hanna spent one part of to-day at the
Auditorium Hotel and in his Office at
headquarters around the corner in varied
conference and discussion with politicians.
The other part of the day was passed in
the private offices of Chicago's big Repub-
lican manufacturers. merchants and other
large employers of voters, notably among
the latter being P. D. Armour. Mr.. Ar
mour has consented, contrary to his usual
non-partisan attitude, to become an active
worker for the Republican ticket, as well
as liberal subscriber to the campaign

to bring influence to work among the peo-
pie they have dealings with outside OF
Chicago.
Colonel W. G. Haskell of Cleveland ar

of insufficient room for some of the de-
partments.
Senator Brown of Utah was one of the
callers at headquarters from outside of
Chicago. He said: "Some Republicans
in Utah are off on the silver question, but
think they will vote for Mckinley for
his protection principles. The wool-grow-
