GEN. GOBLIN DENOUNCED.
Philadelphia Central Labor Unions
Resolutions Condemn His Order.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-The Central
Labor union of Philadelphia, at its
regular meeting Sunday, unanimously
adopted a resolution denouncing Brig.
Gen. J. P. S. Goblin, in command of
the troops now on duty in the anthra-
cite coal fields, for issuing an order
calling on his men to shoot strikers if
they resist the 2uthOrity of the troops.
The resolutions set forth that it is lille
gal for the general to issue an order
to kill citizens of Pennsylvania who
are guaranteed trials by jury for any
offense they may commit" The reso-
lutiOns request Gov Stone to revoke

civil authorities is asked to have the
general indicted and tried for Threat
ening the lives of citizens of the state

trict presidents to the effect that he
would not permit the state troops to
escort nOn-union men to and from the
mines. 1t is claimed that the governor
made this promise to Presidents Mich

CARLISLE eRAHAM,s FEAT.
He Swan From Whirlpool Through
the Lower Rapids.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Sept. Car,
Isle D. Graham swan from the whirl-
pool below Niagara Falls through the
lower rapids to Lewiston Sunday. Ora
ham made a better swim than he did
September 9, 1901. when Maude WiI-
lard attempted to navigate the upper
rapids in Graham's barrel and was
sufrocated. Graham Sunday wore a
life preserver about his waist and a
neck float. The swift running cur.
rent whirled the swimmer to the cen.
ter OF the stream and for nearly half
an hour Graham battled with the
waves. AS far as the Devils Hole it
appeared comparatively easy for Ora
ham and then he plunged into rough
water that many times hid him from
sight. Only once, however, was he in
danger. A current suddenly tossed
him toward the shore dangerously
near big boulder that showed threat
eningly above the surface By desper-
ate swimming he just avoided the rock
and was carried on down stream. Be
low the DEVILS Hole where the river
narrows Graham had another hard bat
tie. For a time he was completely
hidden from view and the hundreds of
spectators on the bridge and along
the banks were greatly excited. Ora
ham soon appeared in the smoother
water where the river widens. He de-
clined to enter a boat and swan to
the shore just below the new trolley
bridge.

sYMPATHIzE WITH STRIKERS.
Soldiers Persuade Miners at Work to
Join in the Strike.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Sept. Am
unexpected situatioa has resulted
from the ordering out of the national
guard to preserve order in the coal
fields. The soldiers, whose sympathy
was all with the strikers from the
start, 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 station
ed at Rush Run had to be recalled and
sent to another point to keep it from
emptying the mine.
Hundreds of families were sleeping
Sunday night under the skies for COW
er and with only the shelter of the
skies for protection. 1t is estimated
that over a thousand families have
been evicted in the New River valley
and most of them had no place to go.

THE MOCK WAR is ON.
"HOStilitieS" Between the Army
and Navy Opened.
Never in History of This Country Has
Such Grim Aspect Been Given to
Defense Which Guards the
New England Coast.

Newport, R. l., Sept. Under COW
er of fog and the blackness of night,
the North Atlantic fleet, commanded
by RI. Adm. HigginsOn, slipped it's ca
bic in Menemsha Blight, Vineyard
sound, shortly before 10 o'clock Sun
day night and put to sea, making the
first move anoat in the war game be-
tween army and navy in the imagin-
airy along the southern New England
coast. On land from Fort ROdman,
at Bedford, to Fort Wright, at Fishers
Island, every fortifcatiOn is manned
by artillerymen and every head land
is patrolled by signal men just as care
fully as if a real hostile fleet were
about to descend upon this part of the
seaboard.
The actual war period began at the
expiration of 48 hours of preparation,
and while they appeared to take
things easily during that interval, the
land forces under supreme command
of Maj. Gen. Macarthur were drilled
at the guns and at a signal station
with all the vigor that forecasts real
conflict.
Never in the history of this country
has such grim aspect been given to
the defenses which guard New Bed
ford, the cities on Narragansett bay,
the Connecticut shore, and, more i'm
portant even, the city of Me-; York,
from attack under cover of Martha's
Vineyard and adjacent islands and
through the great waterway-Long Is
land sound.
Sunday night when taps sounded at
all the forts nearly 5000 artillerymen
went to step beside their guns ready
to spring up for action when the alarm
sounded. The walls of the fortifca-
tions were paced by guards and along
the beaches sharp eyed signalmen
swept the sea with their glasses fever
ishly anxious lest the light of hostile
war vessel be taken for that of a
friendly merchant craft.
On sea the fleet had been swallowed
up in darkness and it will be heard
from next when it makes a descent on
the coast within the zone Of hostili-
ties. There are nearly 5000 men
aflOat and it may be that Adm. Higgin-
son will endeavor to land his marines
at some exposed point of the shore
defenses and attempt to capture it
before making his attack in an effort
to force an entrance to Buzzard's or
Narragansett bay or Long Island
sound, or even to silence some one of
the big forts. The army says it is
ready for anything which may devel-
Op, but anticipating an early landing
party from the fleet at Gay Head, the
signal station there was moved to
higher grounds to avoid being rushed
by marines. To cripple the army line
Of communication may be Adm. Hig-
ginsOn's first thought, in order to use
his marines. The first point of attack
is looked for at Fort Rodman, manned
by volunteer artillerymen, but there
may occur only a reconnaissance by
the gunbOats while the great battle.
ships swing into action to the west
ward and by skilful maneuvering, theO-
retically hammer the Notifications to
a mass of ruins with their ponderous
turret rifles.
Like chessmasters, it is Adm. Hig-
ginsOn's turn now.
