Must Face the Law.


Must Face the Law.
An important step was taken at Gin
cinnati in connection with the strike,
which puts the power Of the United States
against all violence or unlawful acts in
at least a portion of the territory of Ohio.
An order of the United States Circuit
Court, southern district of Ohio, eastern
division, was made by Judge Taft, upon
n showing made by Myron Il. Herrick
and Robert Blickensderfer, receivers OF
the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway
Company and of the Wheeling, Lake
Erie and Pittsburg Coal Company, where
by the United States Marshal is directed
to protect their miners at work and to
prevent unlawful interference with the
operations of their railway.
The receivers state that they are en-
gagged IN the operation Of two coal mines
of the Wheeling, Lake Erie and Pittsburg
Coal Company, known as the Dillenvale
and Long Run coal mines; that there is II
strike among the mine workers of Ohio
and other States under the direction of
the United Mine Workers; that all of the
500 miners at Dillenvale and one-half of
the 400 at the Long Run mine are desir-
Gus Of remaining at work, but have re-
Trained from so doing by reason of threats
and warnings from other miners who
have joined the strike: that it is necessary
for the mine to continue in operation and
that the miners will continue at work il
protected from physical injury to them
selves and their property. Judge Taft
gave an order to the United States Mar
shal to consult with the receivers of this
court and send to Jefferson County and
to other parts of this district a sufficient
number of United States marshals to pro-
tect the mining and railroad property
now being operated by these receivers
under order of this court.
President Ratchford, in reviewing the
situation, said: ''Much has been said as
to the amount of coal in stock at the head
OF the lakes and in the general markets,
and also that operators in certain fields,
through information received, made prep
arations for the contest by stocking up
coal. Such report is erroneous. The ope-
rators, the public and even the miners
had no information on this matter, and
there is no coal in stock in any great
quantities. The enormity of the present
mining suspension is attracting the at
tention of members of Congress and the
Senate, as well as members of the Cab
met. At present it seems as if some ac-
tion looking to national arbitration may

Bill Goes Throurh.

BY the decisive vote of 3S to % the
tariff bill was passed in the United States
Senate shortly before 8 o'clock Wednes-
day. The elimination of the long and ar
duous struggle had excited the keenest
interest, and the floor and the galleries
of the Senate chamber were crowded by
those anxious to witness the closing scene.
Speaker Reed, Chairman Dingley and
many of the members Of the House Of
Representatives were in the rear area,
while every seat in the galleries save those
reserved for foreign representatives was
occupied.
The main interest centered in the final
vote, and aside from this there was lit
tie of dramatic character in the debate.
The early part of the day was spent on
amendments of comparatively minor i'm
portance, the debate branching into
financial and antitrust channels. BY
4 o'clock the Senator's began manifesting
their impatience by calls for "vote,"
vote" and soon thereafter the last
amendment was disposed of and the final
vote began. There were many Interrupt
tions as pairs were arranged. and then
at 400 o'clock the Vice President arose
and announced the passage of the bill
yeas, 80; nays. %. There was no dem
onstration, but few scattered hand
claps were given as the crowds dispersed.
Following is the vote cast:

TORNADO STRIKES A GROVE.
Panic and Death Among Picnickers
Near Huron, Ohio.

Ruggles Beach, four miles east of HUI
ron, Ohio, was the scene of a severe storm
Monday afternoon. A cyclone cut swath
through the large oak grove, telling large
numbers of trees, twisting them off like
pipe stems. Frank Chandler had both
legs crushed at the hips by falling trees,
both his horses also being killed. A dozen
horses were killed and large number of
buggies and carriages smashed into kind
ling wood. The grove contained several
thousand people, who were driven into a
panic by the storm.
