Shenandoah, Pa. July 3L-Twelve hundred state troops are encamped On q hill overlooking Shenandoah Down in the town where the rioters and po- iicemen fought 6 bloody battle last night all is quiet, and the indications are that SC long as the militia renain2 the peace O. the community will not again be broAen.
 The riot which caused the soldiers to be sent here came like a flash. and was ever almost as quickly as i, had start d, and not q single case of violence has been reported since. There are thou sands of idle men and boys fn this vicinity who have been gathering in large numbers and marching fl om place to place. They did not repeat their demonstrations today, and the authorities consequently had little or nothing to dc.
 The arrival of the citizen soldery proved to be . great attraction for the large army of unemployed. and hun dleds of men and boys came to town to see t.,s troops. The first companies to arrive came from St. Clair st S:3o 2. IT,, and from that hour up to 2 ?. nl., when the governors troop of cavalry t;isembarl1ed and marched up Main street. Shenandoah presented 6 lively appearance. Most Of the comn2n nds were on the grounds by 10:3o o'clock

 brigade. in command of the troops here, and his staff were on the scene ,arly. The camp is located on high hill just outside of town ana ct.:3rnands iuli view of the town Within the camp lines are siu2rtere1 two 1Gtl regi- ments. the Eighth and Twelfth. tsto companies of the Fuurth regiment and q troop of cavalry. The commander and his staff are duartere;i at the Fer guson house. but il is the generals in- tcntion to get under canvas with his staff as soon as circumstances will pe.- init Beyond the presence of the group of soldiers here and there on the pril
 cipal streets. Shenandoah does no. show any evidence of having passed through q trying ordeal.
 The jor portion of the population is made up Of foreigners. and as a rule they kept close to their homes during the day It is declared by the citizens of the town that the foreign element
 was solely responsible for the trouble. Contrary to popular belief. Shenan- doah is not under martial law. The local authorities and the sheriff 0: the county have not re!inquished control Of the town O. county, and they remain in as complete control Of their respective affairs as they did before the troops reached here. The soldiers are merely ! in camp on the outside of the city. It
 was deemed advisable, hc Mever, by the brigadier general to establish provost guards in every part uf town.
 The mine workers are greatly in- ccnsed over the calling out of the
 troops. They assert that this action
 H'.:s entirely. unwarranted, and is an
 uniGstifiable expense on the state. The strikers, through their officials. are
 making an cffort to lave the soldiers withdrawn. The first step in this direc-
 ton was taken this afternoon, when
 the following telegram was sent from here to Governor Stone:
 I've, the undersigned. officials Of the
 ninth district of the Miners union, be-
 l;cve the request made to you to send ! troops to Shenandoah was based upon 1 eEaggera tions, and as We are confirmed 1 in this belief we respectfully request ! yCu to send a personal representative l to this town to investigate the condi- 1 tions, and after such investigation we i believe that you will learn that the ] presence cf troops in this town is unne- 1 cessary, and that the order should be 1 revoked.
