Troops Called Out.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 11.-Gov. Hast
ings has received word from the sheriff
of Luzure county that he had exhausted
all his powers in trying to suppress the
mob near Hazleton and now asks for
military assistance. The sheriff fears
that there will be much loss Of life if he
attempts to cope with the rioters to-
day. Col c. B. Dougherty, of Wilkes
barre, sent a telegram corroborating
the sheriffs story and suggested that
the First and Third brigades be sum
moned TO the sheriff's relief. The gov-
ernor has summoned Adit. Gen. Stew
art and Gen. Goblin, commander OF the
Third brigade, and they reached here
late at night. After n consultation
Gov. Hastings issued call for the Third
brigade, Pennsylvania national guard,
TO proceed to the scene Of the rioting.

Ordered to shoot.

81 then called upon the deputies to defend
themselves and shoot If they must tc pro-
tect their lives or TO protect the property
that they had been sent TO guard. The next
second there were a few scattered shots
fired into the foreigners and a moment
later the entire force of deputies dis
charged a solid volley into the crowd. I
hated TO give the command TO shoot and
was awful sorry that L was compelled to
do so. but i was there TO do my duty and I
did IL as best / knew how and as my con-
science dictated, as the strikers were yio-
lating the law Of the commonwealth and
fatty refused TO obey the proclamation that
i read to them. They insisted on doing yio-
lence and disobeying the laws.

San Antonio will open her gates
wide to welcome the Senate and
House of Texas. She also hopes that
the Senate and House will reciprOcate
and open wide the treasury for the i'm
mediate relief of the Southwestern
Insane asylum. That institution is
one of the best conducted Of all the
state group, is OvercrOwded now, has
daily applications that it is obliged
to refuse and needs more accOmmOda
ton for the unfOrtunates for whose
benefit it was originally erected.
Texas is doing nObly in her provisions
for this class of her wards and Il few
thousand dollars, more or less. should
not stand between the people of this
great state and proper provision for
the comfort of those who are thus
stricken. In all ages of the world the
demented have been regarded as Spe-
cially sacred from assault, exception
ally commended to the Kindness and
charities of all, outside the pale of
attack even by the outlaws who war
upon humanity, and they should not
be neglected in this generation here in
Southwest Texas, where the hand of
prosperity spreads Il table of plenty
in the presence of the whole people.

SOUND AMERICAN PORK.

Germany has overreached herself
in her attempt to saddle upon Amer
lean pork the charge Of it's being I'M
healthy, subject to trichina, unfit for
the German stomach and all the rest.
The exporters of American pork and
pork products have persisted in their
DEMAND that a rigid scrutiny be
made of all shipments of these pro-
ducts into Germany by the consuls
at the various ports; that there be
an examination Of all packages, show
ing the date of entry and their condi-
ton as sworn to by the American ex-
porter, that all cases of trichina be
carefully traced and the real origin
shown and that Il careful report of all
results be tabulated and made in form
to the German government. This re-
port is now at hand and is very dis
appointing to the German authorities,
for there has not developed single
case of trichina in any American
pork exported under the stringent reg
ulatiOns adopted two or three years
ago. One case alone is reported, and
the package shows cOnclusively that
it was tempered with and the German
seller had put n new wrapper around
a package of old goods received be-
fore the present regulations went in
to effect. American packers are nat
urally jubilant over the result. 1t
places upon the German government
the Odium of having resOrted to I'M
just accusations and charges in order
to keep the American hog out of Ger
many. and this solely in the interest
of the native pork producers. Germa-
ny will not be allowed to continue her
unfair determinations any longer with
out retaliation. Germany will not
give us the hot end Of her poker to
hold and then receive the cold handle
of ours in return. That one sided
game is played out and it is time that
it was.

1t now appears that all rumors of the
hostility of Nicaragua to the Unit
ed States owning and operating the
canal are mere canards, no doubt orig
mating with the spectators and those
who would like to take tribute Of this
government. Olney and Cleveland
have been altogether too ready to take
up the complaint of this class of ad-
venturers and parade them as Near
aguan objections.

Mr.. Mckinley intends to make his cab

to carry out his individual will. His
cabinet will be a round table at which

and what is there determined on will
be entrusted to the head Of each de-
partment to execute, the president hav-
ing a general supervision Of the whole.

THE ARMENIAN CONSPIRACY.
Reason for the General RepugnAncs to .
Fish Diet.

Reason for the General RepugnAncs to .
Fish Diet,
The authorities were fully aware of
the conspiracy, and, instead of taking
steps to nip it in the bud, they armed
the populace to massacre the Armenian
population as soon as the first bomb
exploded, says the English Illustrated
Magazine. To crush the plot was simply
to seize a handful of men; to let them
have their way was to enjoy the oppor-
tunity of Strengthening several thou
sands of innocent people. This was SO
characteristic of Turkish statecraft
that II cannot surprise anybody who
is acquainted with the Ottoman system
of government. Tho completely Of
the police was attested By numbers Of
.eyewitnesses, who told me they had
seen both ends Of street guarded by
tho zaptiehs. while the mob broke into
the houses and murdered Tho inmates.
Ihad from the mouth OF 8 T1rkish min
lister the admission that verbal fnstruc-
tions were given to the police to en-
courage and supervise the mnssacres.
TO call this the suppression OF "a ris-
ing" is the grim irony which is among
the literary graces Of the sultan and
his clerks. The actual killing of Ar
menians before the eyes OF the foreign
residents was q considerable business;
how many victims met their death by
drowning in tho Bosphorus nobody was
able to compute, but was struck by
the general repugnance at the hotel TO
a fish diet, although the fish at that
time were said to be remarkably fine.

NUMBERING AND BURNING VILLAGES
Reports from French Marchand Expedi-
tIon in South Africa.

Correspondence to the Associated Press. }
Brazzayille, Africa. January 3l.-I
have been waiting many days for some
authentic news about Merchand's expedi-
rion. Upon arriving at Brazzaville, we
found Merohand making preparations to
go to the relief of the men at the Quello
river. This was the pretext Of declaring
war against the natives. Tie first real
skirlnish was with chief named Mob
yalia who orr some Of his tribe, killed a
French soleier about a year ago. Mob
yala was wounded and his head was cut
of and rroUght to Brazzaville.
After the battle the village WAS burned.
Continuing their march, the villages
along the Manaynga river were sur
rounded at night. AS daylight ap-
preached the natives were awakened by
the blast of a trumpet and as they came
out of their huts were shot down on all
sides. Village after village was destroyed
In this manner no quarters being given.
The expedition consists of fourteen
white officers and one hundred and sixty
three black soldiers from Western
Soudan. Preparations are now making
to continue the march up the Mobangi.
Il The object of the Merchand expedition
is to march to the head waters of the
Mobangi, cross over to the head waters
of the Nile and attack the Dervishes or
Arabs. The expedition, while endeavor-
ing to conquer the Arabs, also will look
after the Frenoh and Belgian interests In
this section and checkmate the, English
in attempts to occupy the territory.
