WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS.
Stone Expected to Order Them Home
When Mining Is Resumed.

Stone Expected to Order Them Home
When Mining Is Resumed.
Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. 16.-Governor
Stone will probably withdraw the
troops in the mining regions as soon
as the strike is officially declared off
by President Mitchell and the miners
indicate their willingness to go to
work. The governor left Harrisburg
early in the day. Adjutant General
Stewart is the only official of the ma
tional guard on duty at headquarters,
and he declines to discuss the strike
situation or the probable time or man
ner in which the troops will be with
drawn.
The cost to the state of keeping its
entire military force on duty in the
mining regions is enormous, and the
governor is very anxious for speedy
settlement of the strike, so that the
troops may be withdrawn. The pros
poets are that if he should decide to
withdraw them by regiments, instead
of in a body, those regiments which
have been longest in the field will be
ordered home in advance of the First
and Second brigades, which have been
ON duty little more than week.

GAME FIGHT
Battling In Venezuela Has Continued
Since Monday Morning.
DEADLY WORK BY ARTILLERY
Cruisers Rush with Supplies to Tu-
cacas, Where Some of the For-
eign Residents Are Report
ed Dying of Hunger.

Willemstad Island of Curacao. Oct
1G.-The battle near La Victoria, Ven
ezuela, between the army commanded
by President Castro and the revolu
tionary forces, which began Monday
morning, lasted until the afternoon OF
that day and recommended Tuesday
morning, resulting in the retirement OF
President Castro to La Victoria Tues
day afternoon, and was resumed again
fiercely at o'clock Wednesday morn
ing.
At that time the president had re
ceived re-enforcements and had ovel
5000 men engaged against the 1000
men placed in line by the revolution
lists. The artillery played a part never
before seen in Venezuela.
Shortly before 5 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon the revolutionists appeared
to have gained slight advantage. The
presidents artillery, which numbered
fifteen guns, had been reduced to -four
guns. La Victoria was crowded with
wounded, and there were no provisions
in the town.
Foreigners Suffering.
The British cruiser Indefatigable has
left La Guayra for the purpose of car
rying provisions to Tucacas, 25 miles
from Puerto Cabello, for the foreign
residents there, some of whom are said
to be dying of hunger as result of the
concentration measures adopted by the
Venezuelan authorities. The Indefati-
gable in order to accomplish her mis-
sion will have to run the blockade of
Tucacas.
The German cruiser Vineta has also
left La Guayra, and it is regarded as
probable that she is also bound for
Tucacas.
The French cruiser Suchet has ar
rived at Carupano and has entered q
protest against the arbitrary arrest of
a French citizen, who was subsequent
ly released with an apology.
Fighting took place Monday and
Tuesday between the government
forces and revolutionists at Carupano.
The German cruiser Panther has
forced the entrance of the Orinoco riv-
er and has reached Ciudad Bolivar to
protect German interests there.
United States Minister Bowen has
announced that he will not ask for a
guard of bluejackets to protect the
United States legation at Caracas, and
all his colleagues will follow Mr.. Bow

cede to the arrangements made by the
president and accept the commission
of arbitration appointed by him. In
deed it is known already at the White
House that the personnel of the COM
mission meets the approval of Mr..

miners president suggested to Presi-
dent Roosevelt that in the selection of
the members of the commission he in

one who was known to be in practical. if
not in active, sympathy with organized
labor. His desires in this respect were
gratified by the presidents appoint

of Mr.. E. Z. Clark, grand chief of the
Order of Railway Conductors Wheth-
er Mr.. Mitchell suggested these among
other names of men who would be sat
isfactory to him could not be ascer-
tanned. 1t is understood that those
named as members of the commission
have indicated to the president their
willingness to accept the trust imposed
upon them.
1t has not been determined at this
time when or where the commission
will hold its sittings. 1t is stated at
the White House that this will be one
of the details to be worked out when
a formal acceptance Of the arbitration
commission shall have been received
from the miners.
Naturally it is assumed that the
headquarters of the commission will
be in Washington, but it is entirely
likely that some at least of its proceed
ings will be held in New York and in
the coal regions, probably at Wilkes
barre.
The report of the commission will be
made to the president and by him will
be communicated to the parties to the
controversy and to the general public.

thusiasm at Panama.
Panama, Colombia, Oct. 16.-General
Perdomo, minister of state and SUI
preme commander of the Colombian
army, has arrived here from Colon
which port he reached Wednesday
from the interior of the republic.
The general, who recently pacified
three of the departments of Colombia,
has been invested with presidential
power He was accorded a most en-
thusiastic reception here. Governor
Salazar, with all the high civil and
military authorities, met him at the
railroad station. A guard of American
marines presented arms on his arrival
and such was the enthusiasm of the
crowds assembled that the guard was
unable to prevent the people from rush
ing into the depot when the train from
Colon reached this city.
The appearance of the general was
the signal for wild cheering. A mill
tary band played the national anthem
and General Perdomo was escorted by
General Salazar and the other officials
to the center of the city. The streets
were lined with government soldiers,
who also presented arms when the
party passed In the evening there
was a banquet and other celebrations
on the part of the Conservatives, who
have received great encouragement
from the arrival of the minister of
state.
The United States steamer Ranger,
which left Panama Oct. 10 with an
important communication from Rear
Admiral Casey for General Herrera,
the revolutionary commander, returned
here during the afternoon.

West Contributing Quota to Ala In
Movement of Coal.
Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 16.-All the ore
cars that can be spared in northern
Wisconsin and Michigan are being hur-
ried to the Pennsylvania coalfields and
held there so that the fuel supply can
be moved as soon as the strike ends.
In the past few days more than 1000
cars have been hurried east, and more
are going.
Up in the ore country there are many
thousands of ore cars. BY the time the
navigation season closes they are all
out of use and remain out until the fol
lowing spring, when the first loads are
put into the docks ready for the ships.
These cars, for the greater part are
large and well built, the capacity of
most of them being from thirty to fifty
tons.

1t is evident that there is already an

by the shipments. There is lively
movement of empty coal cars through
this city for the coal regions.
