SEVEN MILES OF FIRE Is
SWEEPING WESTERN VALLEY

TACOMA, Wash. June ALA special to
The Ledger. from Hot Springs, Wash,
says:
For a distance of seven miles the Green
river valley is a sea OF flames. Since
noon yesterday DIR. Kloeber and the en-
ployes and guests of the Kloeber Green
River Hot Springs have been persistently
and successfully fighting the fire to save
the hotel.
Steadily the fire was held back and as
sistance was asked for from Tacoma
which was promptly sent by Mayor Camp
bell.
Near haywood, three miles below here,
a lumber camp has been burned out. On
each side is a seething furnace so hot
that the crew on the relief train was COM
PEELED to seek protection inside the ca
boose while passing 1t.
Morgan Camp, one mile down, is partial
~ destroyed though 1t is thought most
valuable effects can be saved.
At Canton. nine niles below Hot
Springs. are congregated the few settlers
and woodsmen of the vicinity. They de-
clare the forest for miles around to be
ablaze
At Eagle Gorge the same conditions ex-
fist and several smaller fires are reported
within a radius of % miles.

STREETS OF PATTERSON
GUARDED BY TROOPS

PATERSON, N. J.,sJuhe 21.-The Essex
troop of cavalry OF Newark arrived here
yesterday and proceeded TO the ARM
ury. The streets were lined with people
while the cavalry proceeded toward the
armory, but there was no demonstration
or excitement of any kind.
Contrary to expectations an order was
issued yesterday ordering local companies
of the national guard to report for duty.
1t had been expected that only troops
from other cities would be called upon to
do strike duty here.
A number of silk mills opened at the
usual hour yesterday. owners relying up
on the promise of the mayor that troops
would be called out to protect property.
At all the mills started up policemen, fire.
men or deputy sheriffs were on guard and
every crowd that gathered at any of the
plants were promptly dispersed.
The orders of the mayor are that no
gathering of people shall be permitted in
the street and these orders are being fully
carried out by the force at his command.
In addition to the silk mills two dye
houses were opened up this morning. At
these places the bosses went to work as
sisted by non-union dyers and helpers.
At mills that have opened the employees
were supplied with arms and ammunition
to protect themselves and their employ
eps' property in case of attack.
A mass meeting of the striking dyers'
helpers was held yesterday, and President
McGrath, of the Dyers' Helpers union.
was the only speaker. He expressed deep
regret at the riotous denominations on
wednesday and said that such actions
could only harm the cause of the work.
men.
The first and second battalions of the
regiment from Newark have arrived and
are held at the armory. Italian strikers
and their sympathizers to the number of
about 200 are gathered in the vicinity of
the armory, keeping a close watch on the
movements of the soldiers. So far they
have made no denomination.

AMNESTY FOR
FIL|PINOS
JULY 4
PRESIDENT WILL ISSUE PROC
LAMATIoM SETTING FREE
ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS
AND THOSE UNDER GUARD.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2l.-The Filipinos
are rejoicing over a coming proclamation Of
amnesty by the President.
This proclamation, it is believed, will be Civ
en- as a Fourth Of July present to our wards
in the Philippine Islands. There is Just now
much cable correspondence between Acting Gov
ernor Wright and the Administration on the
subject.
Il had been planned to issue the proclamation
as soon as Governor Taft reached the islands,
but from present indications he will not arrive
there until September and the President does
not care to delay the proclamation until that
date
Governor Taft, who is in Rome in connection
with Church matters in the islands, will be
DELAYED longer with these negotiations than was
first thought, and as the cables from Acting
Governor Wright show that the Filipinos are
really DESTROYS Of peace and that such an am
nesty proclamation would have a good effect, it
will be Issued without waiting until Governor
Taft returns TO the archipelago.
The exact terms Of the proclamation have
not been decided upon, OF at least they are
moi obtainable, but all political prisoners in the
islands will be released and those who have
been TO a certain extent under restraint, while
not actually under arrest, will be given their
freedom in every particular.
AS TO whether those who have been banished
from the islands for political reasons viii be
allowed to return it has not been decided, but
the impression is that they will be allowed to
return as the government has now such foot
hold and matters in such shipshape that they
can do little harm.

LED BY THEIR WIVES
MINERS GIVE BATTLE

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 2.-Led by
their wives, 1000 strikers attacked the
four collieries operated by the Lehigh
Valley at Shenandoah late this evening.
For four hours they created a reign Of
terror.
Pick handles and clubs were used in
assaulting the men inside the stockade.
Several Of the coal and iron police were
seriously injured and several miners are
expected to die.
When the deputies at the colliery of the
four that is surrounded by a stockade
saw the mob advancing they blew three
blasts to give warning to the specials in
the unprotected collieries to rush to the
one mine property that was protected.
The warning came too late. Before the
coal and iron police could get behind the
stockade the savage mob was on them
Rushing to the houses near the colliery,
where the specials were hiding the stri-
kers seized the terrified men and started
to club them over the heads with pick
handles. Stones were also used. The
men in the protected colliery hurried TO
the assistance OF the other men. No
property was destroyed and no shots
were fired.

BRITISH SHIPS.
WILL FIGHT
MORGAN
NEW SHIPPING COMBINATION
is OUT READY FOR BUSINESS
ON THE ATLANTIC IN OPPOSE
TON TO TRUST.

NEW YORK, June H.-The British ship
ping combination, which intends to COM
pete with the Morgan syndicate for the
North Atlantic and Pacific freight and
passenger business, Is now practically
contaminated, according to the London
correspondent OF The Herald. Many re-
ports of the formation of the new syndi-
cate, more or less accurate, have appear
ed in the last week. On good authority
the following details are given:
Sir Christopher Furness is to be the head
of the new combination. 1t is to be cap
italized at S1oO.0 900. The Cunard COM
pany is included in the deal.
The British government has agreed
largely to increase the present subsidies,
while Canada promises at least $1,0O0,OOO
yearly.
Six large passenger boats capable Of Is
knots an hour, are to be built, also a doz-
en- 16 knot freighters, at an aggregate
cost of 1920 600.
The entire capital is said to have been
underwritten. One well known capitalist
who offered to take up big block Of
stock was told that the whole amount had
been subscribed.
In the minds of those who support the
scheme the Atlantic aspect is not greater
than the Pacific. The main idea is the
utilization of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way as the chief link in chain, bringing
Australia, India, China and Japan into
nearer and more Intimate touch with Eng
land. and providing an all-Brihsh route
shorter than any at present available.
