Coal company, at 1880 today, made
good their threats to land train
load of imported laborerS from the
south, and attempted to put them TO
work in their mines, at the point of the
bayonet and the muZzle of the Win
chester. such laborers being drawn
largely, if not entirely, from the Grim
inal class, eX-conVictS, who learned
their trade while doing time in the
penitentiaries of Alabama, after hav-
ing been fully advised and having full
knowledge that the landing of such inn
ported laborers would precipitate a
riot. / had wired them that if they
brought these imported laborers they
did so at their own peril, and, under
the circumstances, would be morally
responsible and criminal!y liable for
anything that might happen. From the
information I can gather at this time
the very minute the train stopped in
front of the coal shaft, where the doors
of the stockade were thrown open for
the imported laborers to enter, the fir
ing began. The killed and wounded
are largely idle miners who were on the
outside. The others were the hired
guards who were brought along by the
coal company Most, if not all of them,
were non-reSidentS of Illinois. There
is no means of learning their names or
whereabouts, for thes reason that they
declined to give them out, knowing,
perhaps that they are criminaIly liable
for murder, as they had no permission
from any officer in Illinois authorizing
or deputiZing them to act as deputy
marshals or deputy sheriffs.
Instantly on learning of the trouble
1 directed Adjutant General Reece to
order Captain Craig of the GalesbUrg
battery and one company of the Sons
of Veterans regiment, now stationed at
Pana, to proceed at once by the
quickest route to the scene of the
trouble. General Reece accompanied
Captain Craig, and 1 have instructed
General Reece to quell the riot and
maintain order, protect life and prop
erty, to disarm all persons bearing
arms and to not allow imported labor
ers to unload from any train within
the limits of the city, nor TO march in
a body.
''These avaricious miJe ownars, who
have so far forgotten their duty to So
ciety as to bring about this blot upon
the fair name of our state. have gone
far enough; yes. too far, as they had
fair warning from me, by wire and
telephone, that Importation of labor,
which brings TO our state an undesir-
able class of citizens, had to stop. And
: say now to such and all others that
this is thing of the past; that it shall
not be tolerated in Illinois while 1 am
governor These men, the president
and offers of this company, who par
ticipated in this riot by the bringing
in of this imported labor, are guilty of
murder and should be, and believe
will be, indicted by the grand jury of
Macoupin county, and tried and con-
Victed for th5S heinouS OffenSe."

state Convention.
Omaha, Neb, Oct 12-At today's
session of the interstate sanitary con-
vention, held at South Omaha, the fol-
| lowing resolution on cattle dipping was
| adopted:
| Whereas. The experiments recently con-
Quoted have demonstrated that southern
cattle dipped in dynamo oil. saturated
with sulphur, will effectually destroy the
southern tick and that such may be mixed
with northern native cattle without dan
ger of communicating Texas or southern
fever thereto.
Resolved. That the quarantine regula-
lions may be amended with safety so as
to permit dipped southern cattle on the
state or the United States department of
agriculture to northern states during any
portion of the year.
Next came the report of the commit
tee on lice, which is as follows:
That the state of California be placed
| below the federal quarantine line for the
year 1S9t and that cattle from said state
shall be admitted to points above said line
only when found free from infection after
inspection. That this association recon-
mends the honorable secretary of agricul
/ ture to adopt the same federal quarantine
line for the year 1899 as that adopted for
the year 1888. with the exception of the
state of California which is hereby re-
and cattle therefrom destined to points
above the line shall be admitted only
when found to be free from Infection af-
ter inspection by the federal authorities,
and also with the exception of Giles coun-
ty, Tennessee, which is hereby recon-
mended to be placed above said line.
a resolution was adopted requesting
that state sanitary boards whose leg
iSlatures have enacted laws fixing quar-
antine lines and dates between which
cattle from certain districts cannot be
imported, shall use all possible means
to procure the repeal of such acts and
the enactment of legislation in lieu
thereof providing that the governor of
the state may, by proclamation, pro-
hibit the importation of any kind of
live stock when conditions exist which
render such importation dangerous.
The convention further recommended
that all states adopt regulations gov
erning the importation of cattle from
other states in conformity with regu-
lations recommended by the associa-
ton and adopted by the department of
agriculture
