grounds Of Valley Forge. where Wash
inEton and his men passed the bitter
winter OF l777-7s. A small portion OF
the tract has been acquired by the state
OF Pennsylvania, and the well pre-
served brick building In which Wash
ington had his headquarters is now
owned and cared for by patriotic
body formed at the centennial OF VAL

historic portion OF the field, on which
the soldiers camped and suffered. Ia

The Entertainments and other historic
landmarks are gradually vanishing II
is desirable that the whole tract be
acquired by the national government
and be forever preserved as a national
park, as In the case OF the Chlckamau-
ga and Gettysburg battlehelds.
II is a curious fact that the move.
ment to preserve historic grounda of
this kind at the national expense has
come only since the clfll war. Tho
Idea seems TO have started from Tho
great cemeteries where so many OF m a
soldiers OF the civil war lie burIed
near where they fell. The extensIon
OF the reservation TO Include the whole
field OF conflict and TO preserve its bls.
torlc landmarks under federal author
ity was a natural step from this begin
ming. Al last II has dawned upon The
people that II may be we'll to extond
the same process to the more innort-
ant revolutionary battlehelds. Private
associations and city OF state govern
ments have done some good work IN
this direction. but II is only OF recent
years that the plan for national reser-
walton has had any serious eonsldera.
tlon.
There has been talk OF making auch
a park OF the historic grounds at sara
toga, where Burgoyne surrendered IN
Gates. The proposition TO preserve tho
Valley Forge tract is one that appeais
still more strongly TO the Imagination
OF the patriotic American, for the sur'
ferings OF that terrible winter tes,sd
the nerve OF Washington and OF b,s
patriots even more severely than tha
dangers OF battle. Il is strange that
the idea OF reserylng this spot was NO,
acted upon a century ago. when the
whole tract could have been bouph,
for a trine. II should be bought now
and guarded a. eaeredly as Mount Yer.

the mountains encounterfng almost UNI
surmountable difficulties, and late SUM-
day afternoon reached the end OF their
destination.
Proceeding to work. they began serv-
ing notices O the Injunction which had
been issued by Judge Jackson. A mob
Of strikers followed, armed to the teeth
with fire arms. On all sides could b..
heard the cry down with government
BY Injunction" Men threatened them
with their weapons. women called down
the vengeance Of heaven upon them
and children hurled stones.
When nightfal came notice had been
served on the strikers of all the coal
companies. but one and that was to be
served al Lick Fork Coal and Coke
Company, at Thacker. Fearing an
ambush they waited until morning and
early today set out for Thacker. Some
time before noon they attempted to
serve the injunction papers at the above
named colllery. A mob followed, en-
ragged to desperation at the sweeping
character Of the injunction.
One reckless fellow fired the first shot.
and, quick as lightning, the mountain
sides echoed and re-echoed with re-
sounding reports that followed the
crack OF twenty or thirty rifles. The
oSpullCS "NAC oiCc0 10 take TeIuge IN
flight and then barely escaped with
their lives. The strike situation is as
Stunning a dangerous stage. Sheriff Hat
field has withdrawn all his deputies
because 1t is said he does not believe
in the policy being used to put down
the strike. The United States marshals
have been left alone and after being
chased from the fields today, il is be-
lieved that they will be strongly re-
inforced and ready to fight when they
again appear TO enforce the injunction.
Tug river divides West Virginia from
Kentucy. On each side the mountains
are almost perpendicular, and the
distance from bank to bank is not
more than 500 yards. On the mountain
side Of West Virginia the collieries are
located. On the Kentucky side are
nothing but mountain paths. A lot of
strikers almost 1000 strong have crossed
over into Kentucky and are
the mountain passes. Here they are
out of reach of h deputy marshals
n command the entrances to the
collieries. The strikers have nothing
but hatred and contempt for the mar
shals and it is said that at the mass
meeting at Thacker on Saturday night
they decided to ignore the injunction.

Foraker as Temporary Chairman.

Columbus, O., June 24.-The republi-
can state convention convened here
this afternoon with a large attendance.
AT the conferences during the forenoon
interest centred in the control of the
new state committee, the construction
of the platform and the fight that the
state and saloon league was making
against the nomination of Lieutenant
Governor Caldwell. This issue Of Cald-
we'll IND the resolutions are still being
agitated tonight, but the contest for
state committeeman resulted in what is
called a unanimous victory for the
men, which include the friends of Gov
ernor Nash and others. The result as
sures the reelection Of Congressman
Dick as chairman Of the state execu-
tive committee.
Charles Foster. ex-secretary OF the
treasury, ex-governor, eX~-congreSSman
and for many years a delegate at large
to national conventions, was defeated
for m of the state central COM
mittee because of his opposition to Sen
ator Hanna. While the Hanna men
captured all the committees they gave
special attention to the committee on
credentials as well as to the state COM
mittee so that none of the Daughtery
conteSting delegates could be seated.
The large auditorium was crowded
at 4 o'clock p. m, when the Glee Club
entertained h s~welt1ring delegates.
Senators Foraker and Hanna were
loudly cheered- as they came upon the
stage together. Nearly all the Ohio
republican congressman n members
of the legislature and other leaders
were seated upon the platform. Among
those occupying seats upon the stage
were DR.. Jose G. Barber and DR.. Jose
Gomez Brioso, members Of the execu-
tive council Of Porto Ric, who are on
a tour of governmental inspection.
Hon. P. w. Durr, chairman of the
state central committee in a brief
speech, congratulated the republicans
of Ohio on the result of the Ohio cam
paign last year and predicted victory
for this year Then he introduced Sem
ator Foraker as the temporary chair
man of the convention. Senator For
aker was most enthusiastically received
He was often interrupted not only with
applause but also with demonstrations.
notably when he said: 1.-The flag would
stay wherever it had been planted"
The convention adopted rules submit
ted by Congressman Dick and then the
vice presidents, assistant secretaries
and members Of the various commit
tees from twenty-one COMPRESSION
al districts were announced and the
convention adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
