MAY HAVE BEEN STRIKERS.
Believed Now They Killed Chief Of
Police Tanning.


Roanoke, Va, Aug. 27.-It developed
to-day that the shooting to death of
Chief of Police Tanning at the little
mining town of Cooper, w. Va, last
night, may have been the work of
striking miners.
AT the general offices of the Norfolk
and Western Railway to-day 1t was
said that there has been a sudden
change in the situation in the Poca-
hontas coal fields and that a report
from one of their special agents in
the fields to-day is to the effect that
besides the killing of the chief of po-
lice at Cooper there were several hum
dred shots fired at the men conduct
ing operations along the Crane creek
branch in the neighborhood of the
Thomas Coal and Coke Company and
the Crane Nest operations.
1t is not known that anyone was
wounded and it is believed this general
shooting was to intimidate the new
men who have gone into that territory
recently to take the place of striking
miners. Several of the operations
along the Crane creek branch which
have been running for some time are
closed down to-day.
The railway officials attribute this
fresh outbreak to the presence of a
large number of agitators who recent
ly have invaded that territory, not
withstanding the injunctions of the
Federal Court.

Capt. OFT, left here at 1880 o'clock to-
night on special train over the Phil
adelphia and Reading Railway for the
Panther creek valley.
The Second City Troop of Philadel-

been rendered by Gov. Stone to report
to Col Clement, who is in command

Maj. Gearhart, who is in command
of the troops at Manila Park, reported
to Col. Clement to-day that things
have been in such a state of turmoil
in the Panther creek region during
the last few days that he has been
unable to cover the disturbed district
with the force at his command and
asked for assistance. The colonel got
into communication with Gov. Stone.

Saved From Angry Mob.
The timely arrived of a detachment
of soldiers on the scene this evening
averted a serious outbreak. A non
union workman named Quinn was at
tackled by a crowd of strikers near
the Cambridge colliery at the lower
end of this city, and was being rough
ly handled when two of his friends
rushed to his assistance and kept she
crowd back with drawn revolvers.
In a few minutes all three were
surrounded by a crowd of several
hundred men and boys, and only the
timely arrival of Provost Marshal Far
quehar with a detail of soldiers from
the Eighth regiment prevented seri-
ieous trouble.
The crowd fell back as the soldiers
approached with fixed bayonets, and
| the three men were hurried to a place
of safety. Several of the strikers fol-
lowed the soldiers up the street shout
ing and haunting them, and Joseph
Pelravich, who ventured closer than
the others, was. arrested and placed
in Jail He was afterward given a
hearing and held in $500 bail for court.

CUT TO THE WATERS EDGE.
Liguria-BOth Vessels Damaged,
but No Lives Lost.

Steamship PecOnic Crashed Into the
Liguria-BOth Vessels Damaged.
but No Lives Lost.
New York. Aug. 27.-In broad day.
light and bright sunshine, a collision
which might have resulted in a dread
full calamity occurred in New York
harbor this afternoon between an in
coming passenger liner, and an out
hound freight steamer.
The steamship Liguria, of the Ital-
ian Royal Mail Steamship Company.
with over LOO persons on board, was
run down in the Narrows by the Brit
ish steamer Peconic, of the Mediter-
ranean and New York Steamship Com
pany, bound out for ports in the Medi-
terranean.
A succession of whistle blasts, Just
how blown could not be learned, was
followed by tremendous crash and
the Peconics bow smashed into the
hull of the LigUria just forward of the
fcremast
The Italian liners hull was cut to
the waters edge and water poured
into the aperture. The Peconic, as she
Grifted away, scraped the white hull
OF the Liguria and carried away the
companion ladder. The bow of the Pc
comic on the port side was stove in and
the stem turned to starboard
On board the liner all was confu-
sion for a few minutes, but Capt.
Montana restored order promptly and
forced the steerage passengers over to
the starboard side in order to bring
the hole cut by the Peconic above the
water. This effort was so successful
that very little water entered the liner.
The pilot who brought the Liguria
into port, Frank Kramer, was little
disposed to talk, but said that the fault
was all with the Peconic. He said the
Liguria was coming along slowly to-
wards the Narrows. The Peconic and
the British steamer Antilia, bound out
for Nassau, were steaming to sea a
short distance apart when the Peconic
blew two whistles and then changed
the signals. The Liguria sheered to
starboard and then back at full speed.
The impact came with terrific force,
the sound being heard on the shore.
The Peconic was so damaged that
she returned for repairs. The Liguria,
after the inspection of passengers at
quarantine, proceeded to her dock
On board the Italian liner were
twenty-one saloon, twenty-nine second
cabin, and nine hundred and sixty-five
steerage passengers. Among the sa-
loon passengers was Father Rodriguez,
general of the Augustinians. He was
met, at quarantine by Father Murphy
of the Augustinian monastery at
Tompkinsville, Staten Island. He will
proceed directly to Washington, prob
ably tonight.
There were no casualties on board
the Liguria, nor on the Peconic. The
latter vessel was in charge of Pilot
Charles Thompson and was deeply
laden.

second Primary for Lieutenant
Governor.
Columbia, S. c., Aug. 27.-The close
ness of the race in many cases has
given unusual interest in the returns
from yesterdays primary, that have
been trickling in from the back woods
to-day. In every case where more
than two made the race for an Of
fee there will have to be a second
contest for the nomination.
At midnight the results for several
nominations are still doubtful. 1t seems
reasonably certain that Congressman
Latimer and ex-Gov. John Gary
Evans will be in the second race for
Senator McLaurins place. There were
six candidates, and a nomination was
impossible on the first ballot, as O
majority is necessary. Both Latimer
and Evans are adherents of the old
"Tillmanite," or Reform faction
The other four candidates are Con-
gresham Elliott, State Senator Hen
derson, ex-Congressman Hemphill and
ex-Congressman tombstone. The vote
stands: Elliott. 1895; Evans, 14.714;
Hemphill, 11,523; Henderson, 1921;
tombstone, 1885; Latimer. 1924.
Heyward's Great Fight
In the gubernatorial race, D. G..
Hayward, who has never been in pol
itics before, has a good lead for the
nomination. ana the second race will
be between Hayward and either ex-
Solicitor Martin F. Ansel or Congress
Inan W. ]. Talbert. Lieut.. Gov. James
II. Tillman, nephew of the senator
is fourth in the race. and ex-State
Treasurer Zimmerman bad fifth
The vote stands: Hayward, 34921;
Ansel, 1881 Talbert, 1898; Tillman,
1874; Zimmerman, 4,7S7.
AS Ansels strongest counties have
reported, Talbert may pull ahead of
him in the $4,000 or 10000 votes yet to
be heard from.
John T. Sloan and Frank B. Gary

RESULTS VERY VAL LIABLE.
Higginson's Report on Navy's Mimic
War-WireIess TeIegraphy OUTFITS
Needed.

Nee0eu.
Washington, Aug. 27.-The Navy
Department made public to-day Rear
Admiral Higginsons official report
upon the naval problem which was
der his own command, and the White
Squadron, under Commander Pills
bury, off the New England coast.
The admirars report says:
Commander Pillsbury's fleet was
deficient in speed. His evasion of the
outside scouts and arrival on the
coast undetected was, think. very
creditable to him.
THE result of the operation, in re-
gard to my own force, was to gather
very valuable informa ton for the in
telligence office concerning the capa-
bilities of defense and means of COM
munication along the stretch of New
England coast, from Cape Cod to
Portland. This information is val
liable lnd should be preserved for
future use.
1.-THE line of coast over which I had
charge was divided into five districts,
each in charge of an Of
ficer provided with scouting
vessels and a number of observers
at SlOIc std llOuS. ilSSC QlSlIlClS dll
reported by telephone or telegraph or
by whatever means of communication
they could establish when the central
district at Rockport, where Ensign
Berry, U. s. N, was in charge of the
central office and transmitted to me,
by means of steam launches, torpedo
boats and signals from shore, what
ever information was received.
II can only say that operations
have been very beneficial in training
the young men IN scouting and as OBJ
servers. l have already written to the
department about the valuable service
rendered by the torpedo boat fiotilla
under the command of Lieut.. Chand-
lef.
II take this occasion, however, to
urge upon the department to establish
upon all vessels of the navy a wire
less telegraphy outfit. In my opinion 1t
is of incalculable value and no ex-
pense should be spared to hasten its
adoption"

he says, when a book that had not
humor, plot or character, would have

all that has been changed, and the sue
cessful writer of this school has but
one lesson to learn, and that is, how to

Mr.. Ford goes even further In his en-

she had dismissed him seemed to be

heart that was already torn with re-

reviewers that he is "a close student of
