STRIKERS TELLING THEIR STORY.
Continuation Of the Trial of the Lattimer
Sheriffs.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, February 9.-When
court opened this morning for the trial
of Sheriff Martin and his deputies, Judge
Woodward spoke to the jurors about re-
ceiving letters bearing upon any point in
the trial. The first witness called today
was John Yourshekowicz, one of the
strikers. He said that on September
8 the strikers held a meeting at Har-
wood They decided not to carry any,
thing having the semblauce of a weapon
and to behave quietly and peaceably.
Steve Jusko,A whose arm was broken
and head cut by blows of a rifle in the
hands of deputy at West Hazleton,
was the next witness. He stated that at
the time of the assault he was behaving
in an orderly manner, and saying moth
ing. Afterwards the deputies put him
in the lcckup for two days and then he
up for two months. The evidence of
Michael Popsos, who followed Jusko,
was corroborative of what he had
already been told about the shooting at
Lattimer.
Lewis Kitzki told how, arriving at
West Hazleton with the strikers, two
deputies seized him by theIcoat, hustled
and pushed him around and tore his
shirt. He said number of the men
were so frightened by the action Of the
deputies in threatening them with their
guns that they ran home and did not
march to Lattimer. At Lattimer, the
witness said the sheriff asked for the
committee and while a man was looking
for their committee the sheriff pulled
two fellows out of line and tried to fire
his revolver.
started to run at once and dropped
down behind a little stone about thirty
yards away. There was volley and
then Il lot of separate shots and they
came so thick around where | lay that |
ran farther and got into shanty, but the
deputies fired on the shanty and bullet
went through my hat" He admitted
that the sheriff had told the strikers to
go home and that they disobeyed and
marched to Lattimer.
@John Andreaski said ssAs soon as I
heard the shooting I fell down near the
railroad tracks and about thirty yards
from the deputies. They fired volley
and then lot of separate shots and the
sheriff and two men ran right out of the
line of deputies and upon the railroad
track crying out Come back you ---
and we'll fix you,' to the fleeing strikers,
at the same time shooting two or three
times" The witness pointed out Frank
Clark as one of the two deputies with the
sheriff, he could not identify the other.
The court adjourned at this point and
the cross examination will be heard in
the morning. The commonwealth has
about one hundred more witnesses.

Two years after Mrs. Gripnell, still
vigorous. writes another grateful letter in
praise of this great remedy that has done
so much for her:
Dec. II, 1897.
Wells, Richardson Co.:
Gentlemen-Paine' celery compound
still keeps me from weakness and SICK
ness. do not us II continually, put
take it occasionally, and as a consequence
have not been sick for q long, long time.
I recommend Paine's celery compound to
everyone in need Of remedy, and hope
every old person will use it and be saved
sickness and suffering.
Yours very truly,
Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell.
Paine's celery compound is especially
valuable for recruiting the strength and
spent energies of men and women ad-
vanced in years. 1t is the one prepara-
ton considered worthy the name of a true
nerve food and blood remedy by phys1-
clans throughout the country. 1t is pre-
scrihed by them i'll every State in the
Union to tone up the system, regulate the
nerves and restore health and strength.
Nothing in the past has ever ap-
proached it in power of building up
weakened nerve tissues and giving
strength to the tired body. In severe
cases of persistent headaches, dyspepsia,
neuralgia and sleeplessness, due to ner-
vous feebleness, Paine's celery COM
pound has record of rapid and lasting
cures that embrace every city and town
in the wide sweep of the United States.
Its remarkable power over disease lies
in it's active replacing of worn-out parts
by new healthy ones, and its healing and
purifying action among the mnst minute
tissues of the body. 1t searches out the
weak yarts at once, and sets to work to
build them up. The tired body feels the
strengthening effects of Paine's celery
compound forthwith.
Give the nerves a chance to recover,
and the entire body will regain it's health
and strength. Take Paine's celery COM

GoMPERs AT NEW BEDFORD.
Some Plan Talk to the Socialist Lead
ers.

New Bedford, Mass, February 9.-Ssm-
Federation of Labor, spoke to a vast
throng in City hall tonight and the meet
ing was almost broken up by members of
the Socialist Labor party, who branded
some of the speakers assertions as false.
Jas. T. Hancock, orga nizer of the New
Bedford section of the Socialists and a
member Of the spinpers' executive COM
mittee, had previously issued challenge
to Gompers for joint debate on the labor
doctrines of the Socialist Labor party and
the American Federation of Labor, and
in referring to this challenge, President
Gompers said at the meeting that his
engagements were such that he could not
find the time, even If he had the molina
tion, to accept the challenge.
''To challenge q comrade in arms, at
the time of labor contest like this, -
he declared, 'is traitorous," and he APP
pealed for unity among the forces OF
labor. While he was declaring that there
were misguided men among the Sooi-
alists, men urged on by stronger minds,
Mr.. Hancock, who was present, jumped
no and challenged Mr. Gompers then and
there. In ali instant pandemonium
reigned in the hall, the Socialists joining
in the din, and calls of "Throw him
out were heard.
''Don't do that" said Mr.. Gompers,
"don't sink to his level. I know this
red button brigade. You will find a
Pinkerton agent, the paid hirelings Of the
mill corporation here Friday night to
divide you against yourselves.
This was taken as a reference to Daniel
de Leon, the Socialist speaker, who is to
speak here Friday night, and mingled
applause and Kisses followed.
But Gompers continued, saying that
men who would not fight together were
traitors to each other, and further ap-
pealed for unity in the ranks Of labor. He
was several times interrupted and at
length WAS forced to break off to catch
his train en- route to Pittsburg, Pa. i,
where he has an engagement tomorrow.
BEFORE leaving he announced that lie
would return to this city for another ad-
dress later.
Several other addresses were made,
among them one by Secretary Hart of
the Weavers' union, who took occasion
to criticise the judiciary of the state in
connection with the weavers' fines test
case now being tried at Taunton.

Amounts to Request to Resign-No
the Implied suggestion-If There
should Be Delay State Department
Would Move Directly.
Washington, February 9.-The publica-
tion in the morning newspapers OF what
purported to be an autograph letter
written by Senor Dupuy de LONE, the
Spanish minister, to his friend Canalejas,
criticising the President with utmost
freedom, caused n sensation in Official
Washington and soon will be followed by
Minister de Lomes departure from the
United States.
At the outset there was disposition to
question the authenticity of the letter,
but as bit by bit the circumstantial evil
dence accumulated, until it was finally
announced officially that the Minister de-
clined to deny the authorship of the letter
all doubt was dissipated and the only
question that remained was as to the line
of action to be pursued by our govern
ment toward the offending minister. The
writing of this letter is unquestionably
an offense against the amenities of
diplomatic relations, and such offenses
almost invariably have been regarded in
the capital of the United States as in
other capitals as sufficient ground for the
resignation of the official status of the
letter writer.
A &c ha
prsss, the State Department. officials be-
gan an effort to settle its authenticity,
and when it had learned all that could
be developed on that point and had been
told that the minister himself had re-
fused to deny writing it, the considera-
tion Of the next step was begun. Assist
ant Secretary Day was in consultation
with the President ON the subject at least
four times during the official day, and
then spent much time in framing his
message to United States Minister Wood
ford at Madrid. The official statement of
the sending of this message was accom-
panied BY q declination to indicate it's
contents at this time, the department
merely giving to the press the following
statement:
minister de LONE does not deny writ
ing the letter. This department has COM
municated with Gen. Woodford on the
subject. Until that communication
reaches the Spanish government it would
be improper to in any manner state the
contents of the message to Gen. Wood
ford"
While the department refused to add
anything to this meagre announcement it
can be stated without question that Mr..
Woodford was directed to lay the facts
developed before the Spanish government
together with a statement that in view of
the Ministers refusal to deny the author
ship of the letter, the Spanish govern
ment is locked to with confidence to deal
with the case properly. This amounts to
an invitation to recall the minister, pre-
suming that he himself has not already
taken steps to vaoate his position.
No doubt is entertained of compliance
with the implied suggestion. but in case
there should he undue delay in acting the
State Department would feel called upon
I to move directly in the matter and give
the minister his passforts, as was done
when Sir Julian Pauncefote's predecessor
wrote the celebrated Murchison letter.
