STONES FOR MINERS.
Workmen at Wilkesbarre Given {
Volley.


WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. IA
number of workmen who were return
ing from the Woodward mine mst
night claim a volley of stones was
fred at them, but no one was hurt. A
number of boys we're seen on hill
near by, and 1t is thought they were
the guilty parties.
The owners Of the Warnke washery
at Duryea have asked Sheriff Jacobs
to protect their property. A barbed
wire barricade was built around the
washery, but some unknown parties
tore it down. A crowd of 500 men and
boys collected around the washery yes
terday, as it was expected operations
would be resumed. When a number of
deputy sheriffs reached the place, the
crowd dispersed.
The presidents of the local assemblies
Of the United Mine Workers of the
Wilkesbarre district met here and
adopted resolutions condemning Rev.
Father O'Reilly of Shenandoah for his
criticism of the officers of the United
Mine Workers. President Mitchell and
the district presidents were eulogized
for their efforts to better the condition
of the miners. President Mitchell ad-
dressed a personal letter to the Shen-
andoah clergyman, taking exceptions
to certain remarks alleged to have been
made by him in his church last Sun
day Rev. O'Reilly sent curt reply,
saying that Mr.. Mitchell had no right
to criticise his sermon.
representatives of the big coal COM
panies here think it would be useless
trip for a committee of the citizens
alliance of Wilkesbarre to go to At
lantic City to see Senator Quay and
have him use his influence with the
presidents of the coal carrying rail
roads to bring about arbitration. Lo-
cal operators are of the opinion thatsit
is too late to talk about arbitration
now, as those in control of the trade
think it can only be short time until
the miners make up their minds to re-
turn to work

protect the commissaries in closing re-
ligious schools at Plougonyelin ana
Ploumoguer, Finistere, and the schools
We're closed this morning, despite pro-
tests by inhabitants of the towns. 1t
was rumored at first that the troops
We're going to st Meen and Folgoet,
and the peasantry foeked to those
places, remaining on guard until y
o'clock, this morning, when It was
learned that the soldiers had gone to
Plougonvelin and P1oumoguer. AT
P1oudaniel the barricade of carts,
which barred the way to the sisters
school, has been replaced by network
of barbed wire, and pointed stakes
have been driven into the ground to
injure the horses of the gendarmes. In
addition a moat has been dug in front
of the school door and filled with filth.
Parts, Aug 14.-The cabinet met at
the Elysee palace to-day. The pre-
mier, M. Combes, communicated re-
ports on the situation in Finistere. one
of them being from the superior Of the
Congregation of the Holy Ghost, to
which the resisting sisters belong. In
this report the superior said the sisters
had been ordered twice to leave their
schools, but these orders had not been
obeyed, owing to opposition by the
peasantry and by the owners of the
properties in which the schools are sit
uated Continuing, M. Conbes de-
clared that official reports showed that
the agitation over the closing of schools
in Finistere was purely royalist
movement. There had been grave oc-
currences. said the premier, which
came within the penal laws and which
would result in prosecutions. instruc-
