while Father Aust and a number of Polish
priests celebrated pontifcial high mass. In
the meantime a gang of miners in the Gem

a large circular grave, in which all the bod

at the grave and several or the clergymen
made addresses, urging the miners to main
tain order and to remain quietly at their
homes.
General Goblin kept his word if the priests
did not. During all of the march and the
ceremonies there was not sign of sol

AN ORGANIZERS VIEWS.
There We're two meetings Of miners at
Lattimer to-day. One was made up of
Italians and the other of Hungarians and
addresses were made at both. Organizer
Fahey, of the United Mine Workers, was
present but did not speak He will organ
ize ten branches of the union later in the
week. In an interview he said: "In my
opinion, if the proper thing were done, op-
orators and miners throughout this entire
district would come together and agree
upon a uniform scale of wages and condi-
tion of employment to govern all alike"

would not talk on the ground of the war

QUICK WORK IN MODELLING.
The record-breaking time made by the
militia in reaching the ground has had
more to do with subduing the foreign ele-
ment than is generally known. They were
often given to sneering at the UNITED
-States~aFEnyFp and the spectacle offered has
dumfounded them. The first call for troops
went out at p. m. Friday and at the
next morning the Ninth Regiment was al

At brigade headquarters last last night
there was feeling that a critical period
had been passed with the burial OF the dead
miners. only to meet with a condition to-
morrow that may be even more serious.
At midnight the City troop of Philadelphia
were all asleep and not one of the men
knew that by daybreak they would be
reused and ordered to proceed to Eckley.
There is a possibility that detachment of
infantry may also be sent, but this could
not be confined. AS General Goblin ex-
pressed himself for a reporter: "To-nights
quiet is an unnatural quietness." There
are no doubts that fears are entertained
that before the end of the week the whole
region may be on strike. The McAdoo men
who decided on Saturda-- to return to work
tomorrow held a meeting tonight that
lasted until verv late hour. The result
could not be learned, but the advisability of
not returning to work was touched upon.
In this city at midnight everything is
quiet and the strictest military discipline is
being maintained at the camps. Since the
saloons opened in the afternoon there has
been little drinking and but one or two
arrests for drunkenness Were made
