Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. 7.-Governo,
Stone late last night ordered out the

Pa. October 6: In certain portions Of
the counties of Luzerne, Schuykill,
Carbon, Lackawanna, Susquehana,
Northumberland and Columbia tumults
and riots frequently occur and mob
law reigns. men who desire to work
have been beaten and driven away and
their families threatened. Railroad
trains have been delayed, stoned and
the tracks torn up. The civil author.
tiles are unable to maintain order and
have called upon the governor and the
commander-in-chief OF the National
Guard for troops. The situation grows
more serious every day. The territory
involved is SO extensive that the
troops now on duty are insufficient to
prevent all disorder.
The presence of the entire divisions
of the National Guard of Pennsylvania
is necessary in these counties to main
tain the public peace.
The major general commanding
will place the entire division on duty,
distributing them in such localities as
will render them most effective for
preserving the public peace.

END a LONG WAYS OFF.
Action Of Miners Does Not Presage an
EarIy Strike Settlement.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 9.-Unless
President Mitchells hurried visit to
New York bears fruit, the end Of the
mine workers strike seems long way
off and the prospect of sufficient coal
being mined to satisfy the public de-
mand is extremely poor. Every local.
union of the miners organization
throughout the hard coal belt held a
special meeting yesterday, and resolv.
ed to remain on strike until the mine
owners grant them some concessions.
And while the reports of these meet
igs came pouring into Wilkesbarre,
President Mitchell dictated letter to
the president of the United States IN
which he gave his answer to the propo-
sition that the strikers return to work
and trust to have their condition i'm.
proved through an investigation COM
mission. What the answer OF the min.
ers' chief is he refused to divulge.
Mr.. Mitchell sent his letter to Wash.
ington before he had heard from all
the locals. Yesterday afternoon, &C
companied by the three district presi-
dents, he left for New York. His mis-
sion there is also secret. AS New
York is the headquarters of the coal
operators, rumor Immediately spread
that settlement was in prospect, but
Mr.. Mitchell and his colleagues would
not say whom they expected to meet.
Nearly all the resolutions passed by
the various miners meetings contain.
ed a sentence to the effect that the
men will remain out, though all the
troops in the United States were sent
here, until they are granted some con-
cessions. .-aM
Philadelphia. Pa, Oct. 9.-The entire
National guard Of Pennsylvania Is en-

were we'll received and there was no
disposition on the part of the strikers
to annoy the soldiers. There was only
one instance during the day of any
show of feeling, and this was manifest
at Bethlehem. when some boys stoned

ing the First regiment from Phila-
delphia. -......
Universal quiet reigns throughout
the entire region. Brigadier General
Schall, who arrived at Tamaqua this
afternoon, telegraphed to Major Cen

CONSUL BRAGG TRANSFERRED.
State Department Send Him to Hong
Kong Because Of Letter.

Washington, Oct. Edward S.
Bragg, consul general at Havana, has
been transferred to the post of Uni
ted States consul general at Hong
Kong, taking the place of William A.
Rublee, transferred to the consulate
at Havana.
The change in the Havana consulate
general has been in contemplation for
almost three months. 1t was fully de-
cided that it was necessary to make
the change and the only question was
where General Bragg could be placed
for it is difficult to find in the consulate
service a position paying as we'll as
his. -2 i
$4,000 per annum, but there are fees
attached much Of which go to the
consul general, which swell the total
compensation to about $1,000 per year.
Although it is realized that General
Bragg has been guilty of lack OF
judgment, at least in allowing to
escape from him a rather contemptu-
Gus criticism Of the Cuban people. but
in view of the fact that he was not d.
richly responsible for its publication
the president decided to look lenient-
ly on his case. Early in July General
Bragg wrote letter to his wife at her
home in this country, in which he
used this language
Uncle Sam might as we'll try to
make whistle out of pigs tail as
to try to make something out of the
Latin race"
The letter was published on July IA.
BY direction of the state department,
Mr.. Squiers called on General Bragg
for an explanation. He at once admit
ted the accuracy Of the quotation, but
held that he had right to write what
he pleased in a purely personal letter
to his own family. But. without dis
cussing this question with the general,
the state department decided that a
change must be made, and set about
to find another place for General
Bragg. About two weeks ago this was
found through the willingness of Unit
ed States Consul General VIM. A.
Rublee at Hong Kong. China, to ex-
change his post for that at Havana.
Mr.. Rublee's post at Hong Kong is
salaried at $4,000 per annum, and as
his notarial fees, to all Of which he is
entitled, amounted last year to $1,047.
General Bragg probably will not lose
very much by the change.
