CUMBERLAND, Md, May S-The
attempt OF some of the miners in the
Georges Creek region to break the
strike this morning was met with seri-
Gus resistance by the miners organiza-
ton, which held meeting last mid
night and sent men to all the mines to
prevent those who wanted to work
from doing so. During the riot which
resulted Simon Davis and Robert
Moses were so badly injured that both
their lives are despaired of. Another
miner was thrown into creek. But
one Of the miners has been placed I'M
der arrest SO far. His name is Mullen.
He was brought here tonight and
placed in jail. The sheriff and his
deputies have been dispatched to the
scene to prevent further trouble,
which will doubtless occur in the
morning, when another attempt is
made to go to work.
About one hundred men managed to
get in the Klondike mine this morning
before the intimidators arrived. This
afternoon the organization had a mass
meeting at Midland attended by 1000
miners, when speeches were made by
the agitators and resolutions passed to
maintain the strike until the operators
grant the so cent rate demanded.
At Homecoming 1000 miners paraded
the streets to-day, and the excitement
was great. At an early hour this
morning guns were fired to brighten
those who yesterday declared their in
tention of resuming work.
The situation is a grave one and
great fears entertained that blood will
be shed. 1t is rumored late tonight
that the operators are counseling min
ers who want to work to make no fur
Their attempt in that direction until
they can place a sufficient number of
men at each mine to protect them.

THE REAL REASON
TITUDE OF EMPEROR WILL
LAM DISCOVERED.
PARIS LIE PATRIE ASSERTS
THE EMPEROR FEARS A WAR IN
THE NEAR FUTURE WITH Us,
And is Laying the Foundation for
an English Intimacy Which Will
Result in Large Benefits to Ger
many in Such a CONFERENCE.-THE
story Subject to Discount.

PARIS, May S-The Patrie, an af-
ternoon Nationalist newspaper classed
as sensational, in a dispatch from Lon
don to-day, claims to have discovered
the real reason for the friendly atti
tude of Emperor William of Germany
toward Great Britain at the present
juncture which, i, declares, of the Ger
man emperor's belief that war be-
tween Germany and the United States
is possible and that in view of such
contingency he wishes to win over
Great Britain to neutrality.
Continuing the Patrie recalls the
friction caused by the action of the
German naval commander, Admiral
Diedrichs, at Manila, ana affirms that
the opposition of the United States to
Emperor Williams dream of found
ing a greater Germany in Brazil and
Argentina is responsible for the cold
ness in the relations between the two
countries. 1t concludes:
war DeIW0eu AIueIiCd anu C-SI-
many is, therefore, not impossible IN
the near future, and it is in view of
this war and not with hostile inten-
lions towards England, that Germany
is making unheard-of efforts to in
crease her navy. In the interval the
sole aim of German policy is to pre-
vent an Anglo-American alliance.
There is the secret of Emperor Will
Jams attitude, for if England believed
in 4 coalition of the powers against
her she would not hesitate to conclude
a Yankee alliance. The Emperor
therefore. is striving to appear at
least devoted to England in order to
more surely realize his dream and
make Brazil and Argentina future de-
tendencies of the German empire"

ginia Republicans was held here this
afternoon, Governor Atkinson presid-

Gramm; alternate, c. A. Whiteshot.
Third district, delegate. Col. ]. Il
Dana; alternate, S. f. Morris.
Fourth district, delegate, e. ii,

The resolutions included a recon-
mendation for a less stringent carry
ing out of the civil service laws. A
delegate introduced a resolution de-
nouncing civil service as a whole, but
it was voted down overwhelmingly.
The financial plank is very strong,
as follows:
1--WE congratulate the people that the
Republican party has kept its benefi-
cent pledge for the maintenance of
the gold standard and the parity OF all
our forms of money, whether Of paper.
silver or gold, by wise and courageous
legislation. The Republican party now
stands as it has always stood for such
financial legislation as benefits all the
people alike, the borrower as well as
the lender, the laborer as we'll as the
employer, and such as equalize and
lower the rates of interest"
The resolutions endorse expansion
and the Mckinley administration.
The committee on credentials ousted
from his seat in the convention DR.. !.
]. Haptonstall, of Fayette county, the
man who as a Republican member OF
the Legislature, held out and refused
to vote for Senator Scott last year.
The delegation at large and the dis
triet delegates as well are instructed
to vote for President McKinley's re-
nomination at Philadelphia next
month.
Among the prominent party men in
attendance were United States Senator
y. B. Scott, Governor Atkinson, John
Frew, of the Wheeling Intelligencer;
Gubernatorial aspirant A. b. White,
former editor OF the Parkersburg
Journal; Congressman Freer. Dovener
and Dayton and many others.
The attendance far surpassed ex-
pectations.

SERIOUS DAMAGE
CAUSED BY A STORM TO THE
UNITED STATES SECTION OF
THE ELECTRICAL EXHIBIT
At the Paris Exposition-The Order
to Permit the Installation of No
Exhibits After Saturday Will Re-
suit in Disaster to Foreign Ex-
hibitOrs.

PARIS, May 8.-Should the French
officials hold to the strict letter of the
decision to permit no installation OF
exhibits after next Saturday the eject
on the laborers of many countries and
private exhibitors will be disastrous,
although that date is month after the
formal opening. The installation is as
yet far from complete and many cars
filed with exhibits, some of them
American, are still without grounds.
America will suffer less than other
countries, but the action Of the French
officials will still be a hardship. The
pronunciamento however, is generally
regarded as intended for home con-
sumption, as the unfinished condition
o. the buildings undoubtedly had its
effect on the election held last Sun
day, when the Nationalites had such
decided victory Next Sunday elections
occur in the districts where second
ballots are necessary, and the decree
is believed to be intended to indicate
to the people the earnest effort of the
government TO hasten the completion
of the exposition
