monstration, he arranged for a conference
this morning with the Polish priests who
are looking after ;he cause OF the men.
He impressed them with the nece ssity for
preventing any show of a military char
acter, and said he would permit no uni
formed men to participate except those
representing religious societies..
Bands OF music, side arms, sticks and
banners were also prohibited. The priests
promised that all this should be done, and
the commander on the other hand agreed
to Keep all troops away from the funerals.
Some body stole march on the general,
however, and al hnugh he later revoked
the clause excluding music, there were
men in line wearing the uniform of the
Italian army and others carrying drawn
sa bers.
Six of the latter stood in front OF the
church during the ceremonies within.
Learning OF this the commander promptly
dispatched a staff officer and a detail of
men TO the cemetery, but when they
reached there the services were over and
the mourners had dispersed. The gen.
eEal said he would demand an explanation
from the clergymen.
AS a matter of fact, there was little
change IN the programme arranged
by the miners for Io-day's funeral
services. There were twelve in all, but
two proceeded from a northward direc-
ton TO the cemetery without regard to the
other ten which united in an extensive
cortege.
Eight of the bodies lay in the shop of
Undertaken BONN at Haz -lton, where
they were viewed by great crowd for q
couple of hours before the procession
started. Meantime, the other two lines
were climbing over the rugged mountain
roads leading from HARDWOOD.
a crowd of fully 5000 jammed the streets

was no disorder. The platform originally
intended for the street in front of the
building had been erected before the altar
and here he ten collins were laid, while

In the meantime, gang of miners in
the cemetery we're blastin rock TO make
space for large circular grave, in which
all the bodies = ere in terrt d. There were
brief services at the grave, and several Of
the clergymen made addresses, urging the
miners 10 maintain order and to remain
quietly at their homes.
General Goblin kept his word, II the
priests did not. During all the marches
and ceremonies there was not q sign OF a
soldier.
There were two meetings of miners at
Laumer to-day. One was made up of
Italians and the other of Huns.
Troop Surgeon Frasier and five troopers
arrived on a special train tonight with a
carload OF extra horses from Philadelphia
for the troop.
The gravity of the situation is made ap-
parent from the thorough AMI rigorous
manner in which the commander Is
handling his men.
The sigma! corps of the regiments have
been stationed on hilltops about Halle
ton and the surrounding hamlets where
trouble is feare !. Tomorrow, unless the
Developments OF the night necessi;ate a
change, General Goblin will send complete
details 10 all surrounding points to re-
main there in the event of trouble.
At brigade headquarters late tonight
there was feeling that critical period
had been passed with the burial of the
dead miners only to meet with condi-
tlon tomorrow that NAV be even more
serious. As General Goblin explained him
self to an Associated Press reporter: ITO
night quiet is an unnatural Quietness.''
Without doubt fears are entertained
that before the end of the week the whole
region may be on strike. the McAdoo
men, who decided on Saturday to return
to work tomorrow, held a meeting to-
night that listed until a very late hour.
The result could not be learned In this
city at midnight everything is quiet.
Since the saloons opened this afternoon
there has been little drinking, but only
two arrests for drunkenness were made.
