1,,zeton. Pa, Sept. 1.-THE strike sit
.,i,r tonight may be summarized thus:
o..r 10 900 men are still out with no APP
mi prospect of settlement; sporadic
.n-beaks of violence are occurring near
y. outIving collieries and the withdrawal
>. troops is not only without considera-
.,r but the guard lines of several of the
.,rps are being constantly strengthened,
ID the wisdom of bringing more cavalry
- haine discussed. 1t was said to-day
,bst if the soldiers are kept here much
,,rgar the Sheridan troop of Tyrone, at
..,ba5 to the Second brigade, will be or
dered out
captain of Gen. Gobin's staff is au-
,bouty for the statement that an uneasy
t.sing prevails at headquarters in con-
,o,uence of the little outbreaks of the
mast few days, and the indication they
sod of the underlying disturbance.
The brigade commander himself admit
I'd to-day that the action of the raiding
romen was giving him much perplexity.
He does not care to use force against
tbsm. and has instructed the soldiers in
case OF necessity, to use only the fats of
their sabres upon the Amazons. The story
reached the general that many men were
IN the attacking crowds of yesterday and
to-dav. disguised as women. This morn
ng's violent scene at Audenried was al
most an exact repetition of yesterdays,
At the same place. 1t arose from another
attempt to start the Monacch and Star
uasheries of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
company
About 100 men reported for work at the
farmer. when the wild band of women
svooped down upon them with an arma-
nent of sticks and stones. Others were
stationed on top of an adjacent culm bank,
whence they shoWered missiles upon the
would-be workers and a large body of
men and boys waited in reserve behind
before any injury could be inflicted. AT
the Star washery, where 100 of the 1876
men wanted to work, a like assault stop
ped them.
Late last night another territory was
turbulent A body of strikers at Latti-
mer. No. 2, quarreled among themselves
and boOdshed was threatened, when Com
pany of the Thirteenth regiment, which
is camped at Lattimer, restored quiet.
Deputy Coroner Bowman will begin the
inquest over the bodies of the dead miners
next Wednesday afternoon. Over 100 wit
nesses will be examined.
Gen.Gobn will not interfere with to-mor-
row nights big mass meeting unless high
ly colored speeches are made. The prin-
clpal speakers are to be P. ]. Mcclure,
vice president of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, and George Chance of the
United Labor League. AS precautionary
measure, a guard of soldiers will be pres
ent. Organizer Fahey and other leaders
have asked that the militia be withdrawn,
and Gen. Goblin has advised them that
the speedlest way to accomplish this will
be to stop holding mass meetings, and
thereby exciting the people.
The only change in the strike situation
to-day was the return to work of the 500
men employed at Coxe's Beaver Meadow
colliery. The miners say that this is only
temporary, and that if the other Coke
men at Drifton and elsewhere decide at
their meeting next Monday to go out, the
Beaver Meadow men will join them.
