PHILADELPHIA, PA, September 2.-
While there was considerable disorder
and many acts Of violence in sections of
the hard coal regions to-day, the lawress-
ness was not so general as it was earlier
in the week. The presence of additional
troops and a drenching rain storm assist
ed greatly in the preservation Of peace.
The most serious outbreak occurred near
Olyphant, almost under the noses of the
soldiers of the Thirteenth Regiment. A
non-union miner named Winston, was
dubbed to death by a band Of Hungarians,
and his son-in-law was badly beaten.
Near Wilkesbarre, a coal and iron police
man was almost dubbed to death. Re-
ports from other parts of the region show
that petty cases of violence continue to
occur. The lower anthracite region is
comparatively quiet. most of the lawless-
ness occurring in the vicinity Of Scran-
ton and Wilkesbarre.
Brigadier-General Goblin is keeping
many of his soldiers on the move, either
shifting their camps, or sending out COM
panies to scatter crowds. President
Mitchell says the troops will help to keep
the men f1rmer In their determination to
stand out against the operators. The coal
companies claim that they are daily plac-
ing more men at work, and the shipment
Of coal continues in small quantities.

BERLIN. September 25.-Germany has
decided not to associate herself in a formal
manner with the American and British
protests against Roumania's treatment Of
the Jews.
The German government adopts this at
titude, it is understood, Independently of
other Continental! Powers, no agreement
having yet been reached in the matter
among the cabinets of the Continent.
Germany considers that as other para
graphs besides article "a Of the very pre-
else Berlin treaty of 1878 have not been
insisted upon, for instance, Roumanlan
forts have not been razed to the ground
and Russia is allowing Batoum to re-
main as it was before the treaty, this is
not the time to oblige Roumania to OBJ
serve any particular provision of the
treaty. Besides, Germany, although sym
pathizing sincerely with the deplorable
situation of the Jews of Roumania, feels
unable to interfere in an international
question.
Germans are large holders Of Rouma-
nian securities, and an international storm
over the policy to which Premier Sturza,
of Roumania, is fully committed, might
cause his fall, and as a result Roumanian
finances would be withdrawn from his
capable control. A heavy drop in Rou-
manian funds would cause corresponding
losses here.
The reporter Of the Associated Press in
Berlin is informed that Germany believes
the moral strength of the American and
British positions, in connection with the
very practical measures taken by great
financial houses, will induce Roumanfa
substantially to modify the rigors of the
trade law. Germany may possibly sup
plement these influences by her private
representations, made without taking part
in collective action, should the other Pow
ers find a common basis upon which to
act In German official quarters there is
not believed to be the slightest possibili-
ty Of such collective action being taken,
Prussia and Austria especially being de-
termined not to move in the matter.
