HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 7.-Govern- or Stone has ordered out the entire di- vision of the national guard of Penn sylvania to duty in the anthracite coal regions. The order calling out the guard is as follows:
 ''In certain portions of the counties of Luzerne, Schuylkill, Carbon, Lack aWanna, Susquehanna, Northumber- land and Columbia tumults and riots frequently occur and mob law reigns. Men who desire to work have been beaten and driven away and their fam flies threatened. Railroad trains have been delayed, stoned and the tracks torn up. The civil authorities are unable to maintain order and have called upon the governor and commander in chief of the national guard for troops The situation grows more serious each day. The territory involved is so extensive that the troops now on duty are insuf- fcient to prevent all disorder. The presence of the entire division of the national guard of Pennsylvania is nee essary in these counties to maintain the public peace.
 'NThe major general commanding will place the entire division on duty, dis tributing it in such localities as will render it most effective for preserv- ing the public peace.
 sAs tumults, riots, mobs and disorder usually occur when men attempt to work in and about coal mines, he will see that all men who desire to work and their families have ample military protection. He will protect all trains and other property from unlawful in terference and will arrest all persons engaged in acts of violence and intim- idation and hold them under guard un- til their release will not endanger the public peace; will see that threats, in Limitations and all acts of violence cease at once. The public peace and good order will be preserved upon all occasions and throughout the several counties, and no interference whatever will be permitted with officers and men in the discharge of their duties under this order. The dignity and authority of the state must be maintained and her power to suppress all lawlessness within her borders be asserted.
