QUIET AT WILKEsBARRE.
strikers Continue to Commit Petty
Acts of LawIessness.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. June 10.-National
President Mitchell of the Mine Work
ers Union, who went to New York
yesterday to meet Carroll D. Wright.
United States commissioner of labor,
did not return to strike headquarters
here until nearly midnight tonight.
In his absence nothing was given out
regarding the anthracite strike in this
state or the soft coal suspension in
Virginia and West Virginia. There is
no change in the situation in this re-
gion from either the viewpoint of the
miner or the operator. 1t was a very
quiet day.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the
strike leaders to keep their men from
committing acts of violence, there con-
tinue to be acts of lawlessness which
are rather annoying to the companies.
There was stone throwing and firing
OF revolvers to-day by a crowd which
congregated in the vicinity of the col
liery of the Lehign Valley Company at
Duryea. The crowd dispersed, how
ever, before any one was injured. AS
a result of the assault upon a night
Waterman at Nanticoke last Saturday
several persons, among them three
women, were arrested to-day and held
in bail to keep the peace. More ar
rests for the same assault are threat
ened by the company for whom the
Waterman worked.

A ROTTEN STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Had officials of City and of Hospital
Done Their Duty Chicago Would
Have Had No Holocaust

Chicago, June 10-To-day's investi-
cation of the causes and responsibility
for the catastrophe at the sanitarium
of St. Luke's Society reveals, it is de-
clared. tale of negligence on the part
of the officials Of the sanitarium and
the city.
Out of the mass Of conflicting state
nents concerning the disaster one fact
stands prominently forth. Had the city
officials performed their duty the
frightful loss of life would have been
prevented. This is admitted by the
officials themselves. The coroner s
jury, which was impanelled to-day,
will fix the blame.
The officers of the st. Luke Society
will be compelled to show by what
right they operated a sanitarium with
out license and explain the locking Of
delirium tremens patients in rooms on
the top floor and Stacking them.

Washington, June 10.-In the alb

subject the officials here are in the
dark as to the reasons for the hurried
departure of German warships for
Venezuela as report in the st. Thomas
dispatch.
Germany has a big claim against
Venezuela-that of the Berlin Company

government has undertaken in connec-
ton with the Great Venezuelan Rail-
way built by the government. The
claim approximates 100000 bolivars.
one inference, and it is merely that as
there is no official information on
which to base the statement is that
Germany has sent her vessels to La
Buyra to enforce the payment of the
claim as Venezuela has not ATTEMPTED
to meet the obligation.
The diplomatic correspondence of the
State Department shows that Ger
many has considered the question of
coercion in connection with the pay
ment of the claim. A communication
from the German embassy of Dec. 20.
last, has this to say on the subject:
Would Be Peace Blockade.
I'm case the German government
should be obliged to use coercion
against Venezuela in connection with
the pending claims it will have to be
considered what kind of measures
should be adopted The most import
ant measure of coercion-that is, the
blockade of Venezuelan harbors, -
would have to be carried through with
out declaration of war preceding it.
n blockade therefore would be a peace
blockade. Such a blockade would like
wise touch the ships of neutral DOW
ers, inasmuch as such ships, although
a confiscation of them would not have
to be considered, would have to be
turned away and prohibited until the
blockade should be raised. In the same
manner European states have proceed
ed on such occasions, especially Eng
land and France"
1t is not believed that the United
states government would raise any OBJ
lection should Germany undertake the
blockade of Venezuelan ports.
