Thurmond, W. Va, Aug. 2S.-Every-
thing is quiet in the New River coal
field tonight and has been quiet through
out the day, save little skirmlsh at
Caperton in which twenty or more shots
were fired but no one injured. The en-
tire Second regiment of State troops ar
rived here tonight and are being dis
tributed about various coal operations
where trouble occurred yesterday
Three companies of militia will be sta
toned at Rush Run, two miles west OF
here where yesterday probably 500 shots
were fired across the New River be-
tween strikers and guards. The strikers
opened fire on non-union men going tC
work and The guards returned the hre
None of the guards was injured and sc
far as known no strikers were seriously
hurt. The strikers gathered in the wood
land and rocky cliffs on the opposite side
of the New River from Rush Run mines
and kept up a continual fire throughout
the day. This led to the militia being
ordered out. Sheriff Daniel thinks that
more serious trouble will follow soon he
says the strikers are becoming more de-
termined and that it was absolutely I'M
possible for him to cope with the sltua-
ton. Almost every mine on the hana-
wha and New River is being operated Oh
a small scale. In these fields prooaoiy
two thousand miners are at work ano
SIX or eight hundred idle CONSIDERABLE
property has already been destroyed ano
it is believed that the sending OF troops
will tend to enrage the strikers more
than ever and bloodshed may result soon
The operators are determined and state
emphatically that they have no intention
of conceding a single demand made py
the strikers.

Emperor,

Berlin, Aug. 2S.--The entry of King
Victor Emmanuel into the city today and
his drive through the Inter den Linden,
was advanced purposely half an hour be-
fore the published time as precaution
against possible disorder. Consequently
the great crowds which were packed into
place an hour before by the police at
the Brandenburg gate were astonished
by the arrival at a brisk trot of a gorge
Gus cavalcade surrounding a six horse
carriage in which sat Emperor William
and small man in a dark uniform,
pulling at a blonde moustache. The car
riage stopped and the crowds ceased
cheering in order to see what would
happen
The Chief Burgomaster Herr Kirschner,
advanced and read an address of well
come from a parchment scroll. Behind
the burgomaster stood bareheaded a
hundred representatives of the city in
evening dress. The reading was over in
less than minute. The Italian King
then turned to the German Emperor and
asked him if he should reply. The En-
peror shook his head negatively and the
King thereupon shook hands with Herr
Kirschner and thanked him. Then a
deputation of young ladies advanced on
the other side of the carriage and gave
the Italian King bunch of roses. He
smiled. bowed, buried his face in the
blossoms, handed the bouquet to a
lackey and the cavalcade and carriage
swept through the gate and down Inter
den Linden to the Castle, three quarters
of a mile away.

up two Deep made a glittering barrier of

ordinary numbers of police standing with
their faces towards the spectators. The
cheers of the people were spontaneous

THE NEGRO PROBLEM ABROAD.
The Daily Telegraph Says Electoral Equality
is Delusion.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
London, Aug. 29.-( Friday Apparent
ly inspired by the native problem, which
is looming in South Africa, the Daily
Telegraph this morning publishes a sig
nificant editorial article on the negro
question, which it insists is, for the
Anglo-Saxo race, more serious and
urgent problem than the yellow danger
The paper confesses that the ideals
which undertake the emancipation move
ment have quite failed of realization,
that it has been proved throughout the
world that the negro is incapable of
working out his own salvation and that
the theory of electoral equality is a de-
fusion mischievous to both negro and the
whites.
"The negro franchise in the Southern
States of America says the paper, 'is
already a farce and its suppression in
all but exceptional cases cannot, in all
probability. be permanently deferred"
In conclusion the article asks:
What is to be the ultimate destiny of
the vast and multiplying black popula-
tion of South Africa?
'"That is the problem which looms be-
hind every other

management because no waiting room

selves. For some time past the wait-
ing room has been at the Crawfol d
store just ut the end Of the line, and
has been a great convenience but this
has now been discontinued. Most
ladies cannot hit Il car to the minute
and have to wait Il little until the one
they want arrives. They must now
wander about the streets or go into
some store. If there happens to be a
party of them they do not feel like
