WHOLE CITY ON STRIKE
TROOPS FORCED TO MAINTAIN PUB

Employees of Forty Different CaIIings
I'm the Italian City Are Idle
Torches Instead of Gas.

FLORENCE, Italy. Aug. a.-The en-
ployes of forty different callings have
joined the strike which began last Friday.
The town appears TO be in a state of siege.
Troops have been recalled from the ma
neuvers and from camp, and every square
in the city is occupied by company OF
soldiers. Strong infantry with fixed bay
onets and cavalry patrols are parading the
streets and its suburbs. Six thousand
troops. in addition to a number of police
men and carbineers, have been concen-
trated in the city. Plenty of other soldiers
are available should order be disturbed.
The summer exodus has left the town part
ly empty and number or other persons
have left. fearing possible disorders.
The government, which, according to its
democratic programme, has allowed the
strikers complete liberty as long as order
was maintained. has assumed a most ener-
getic attitude since the strikers forced will
ling wOrkmen TO remain idle and committed
acts of vandalism, such as the cutting OF
gas pipes and attempts OF incendiariSm.
The hundreds of workmen are occupied by
the military authorities. All meetings of
persons has been forbidden and hundreds
of respected persons have been arrested.
These measures have averted disorder and
have frustrated the efforts OF tn Anarchist
and Socialist elements TO profit by the
strike 20 foment trouble. The tramway
operatives and the gas men are among
those who have joined the movement.
The troops have been ordered. as far as
possible. 10 maintain the public services.
Arrangements have been made for fifty
tons of bread to be brought daily into
Florence from outside the city and nobody
will be allowed to purchase more than two
pounds at time The troops slaugh-
tertng animals TO provide meat. The water
supply OF the city Is assured Owing to
the cutting of gas pipes certain portions
OF Florence are now lighted with torches
The cafes are closed. The popuiace con-
dennis the strike as out of all proportion TO
the small question involved.
IL Is estimated that $1,000 mer are idle In
Florence. The municipal newspapers have
ceased TO appear as a result OF the strike
Certain workmen who were repairing the
belfry OF the English Church on Minchili
street refused TO join the strike; the
strikers thereupon threw petroleum over
the board fence surrounding the building
and set IL on fire. The flames were ex-
tinguished before serious damage resulted
Numerous arrests have been made and
the tails are filled to OVERLOOKING Large
numbers OF prisoners have been transferred
TO neighboring towns. What Is most feared
In Florence is that the strike contagion
may spread to Milan, Genoa and other in
dustrial centers.

LONDON, Aug. 31.-Generals De Wet.
Botha and Delarey and Mr.. Fischer ar
rived here to-day from The Hague. A heavy
rain was falling when they arrived and
they received no demonstration.
The papers publish editorial articles
strongly urging the government to refuse
further to negotiate with the Boer generals,
or at least to decline to grant them any
further concessions. 1t is understood that
Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secretary.

generals.
Lord Miner. British high commissioner
in South Africa, has just issued at Pretoria
a new ordinance in regard to the taxation
of natives, under which every male adult
and every married native woman must pay,
after Sept. i, an annual capitation tax of
so. This is. roughly speaking. double the
amount of the capitation tax collected un-
der the Boer regime and 1t doubtless will
lead to much murmIring.

Mitchell Did Not See Quay.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31.-President
John Mitchell, of the United Mine Work.
ers Of America, spent the day at Atlantic
City, returning to this city late tonight.
Mr.. Mitchell denied that he went to the
seashore to see Senators Quay or Penrose,
and said he did not see either of them or
any other person on the question of settling
the strike. While ne will not admit it,
there is a well-founded belief that he saw
several persons on the question of giving
funds for the relief Of the strikers.
President Mitchell will be the central
figure I'm the Labor day celebration here to-
morrow. He will make two addresses at
the labor picnic to be held at Washington
Park, on the New Jersey side of the Della

The entire proceeds of the picnic will be

WENT OVER TO THE ENEMY.
Soldiers Induced Nonunion Men to Go
Out with Strikers.


PARKERSBURG, w. Va, Aug. I.-An
unexpected situation has resulted from the
ordering out Of the National Guard to pre-
serve order in the coal fields. The soldiers,
whose sympathy was all with the strikers
from the first, have used their influence
with the men who are at work and have
persuaded so many Of them to join in the
strike that the detachment stationed at
Rush Run had to be recalled and sent to
another point to keep it from emptying
the mine.
Hundreds of families are sleeping to-
night under the skies for cover and with
only the shelter of the skies for protection.
1t is estimated that over 900 families have
been evicted in the New river valley, and
most of them had no place to go. Some
had friends and secured shelter, but the
majority are homeless, without even so
much as a tent to shelter them. and there
is talk Of a subscription to buy tents for
them. Food Is scarce with them and the
condition of the men is pitiable in the ex-
IRENE. Some of the soldiers have even
shared their food provided by the State
with the families of the men who are in
the strike and hungry.
