 In a few remarks preliminary to his talk here, he had disclaimed any inten- tion to go hunting, but Senator Proctor, who like the President, Is a good shot, induced him to alter his determination.

After a short stay the long procession of carriages moved over to the home of George s. Edgill, who, with Mrs. Edgill entertained the party at luncheon.

 ''Is J, P. Morgan greater than the peo- pie? Is he mightier than the Govern rent? Will he be permitted to retain this menacing power?
 Tt is the time that the people should speak. It Is time that their voices should be heard.
 Representing interests and sentiment of nine-tenths of our people we appeal to you to use your influence to stay the juggernaut which crushes us. Encour- aged by your recent utterances, relying upon your judgm, mt and patriotism, con- fidrnt of your moral coura ge, we appeal from the king of the trusts to the Presi-

 dozen soldiers sprang on the cars and levelled the guns on the mob and en- deavored to clear a passageway for the non-union men.
 When the soldiers returned after escort ing their charges to a place Of safety the members commenced to close Tn around the cars The strikers were in ar uglv mood and when ordered to disperse merely yelled louder and pressed closer As Captain Helm of Company k. was about to jump from the car, he was seized around the legs and thrown to th' ground A half dozen privates who fol lowed him were roughly handled one of the men had a portion of his shirt torr off and according to the enlisted m'r and the officers, d number of blows were e+ruck. The men were then ordered t. disemhark.
