Soldiers Will Be Placed at Every Mining Camp In the Anthracite
 Region and Ample Protec-

Harrisburg, Pa, October s.-GovernoI Stone late tonight ordered out the entire division of the national guard of Penn. sylvania to duty in the anthracite coal regions. The soldiers will be in the field tomorrow. The order calling out tn, guard is as follows:

 Der 6.
 Tn Certain portions of the counties of Luzerne. schulkill, Carbon. Lacla. wanna, susquehanna, Northumberland and Columbia, tumults and riots fre- quently 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 authorities are unable to maintain order and have called upon the governor and commander-in-chief of the national guard for troops. The situation grows more serious each day. The terri tory involved is so extensive that the troops now on duty are insufficient to prevent all disorders. The presence of the entire division national guard of Pennsyl- vania Is necessary in these counties to maintain the public peace.
 The major general commanding will place the entire division on duty. dis i tributing them in such localities as will render them most effective for preserv- l ing the public peace.
 As tumults, riots, mobs and disorder usually occur when men attempt to work in and about the coal mines he will see that all men who desire to work and their families have ample military pro- lection He will protect all trains and other property from unlawful interfer- ence and arrest all persons engaging in acts of violence and intimidation and hold them under guard until their release will not endanger the public peace; will see that threats, intimidations, assaults and all acts of violence cease at once. The public peace and good order will be preserved upon all occasions and throughout the several counties and no interference whatever will be permitted with officers and men in the discharge of their duties under this order. The dignity and authority of the state must be maintained and her power to sup press all lawlessness within her borders be asserted

Thursday, however, fears for his death
were not entertained The last "a
tional words uttered by DR.. Talmag'
we're OH the day preceding the mar
rage of his daughter, when he said
"Of course, know you, Maud" Sine
then he was unconscious.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

Ever since last Tuesday the
House has been the scene of an in
teresting struggle between the ad-
ministration and the. beet sugar
forces and everything points to
victory for the former. A promi-
ment republican, who has vigor-
ously opposed any concession to
Cuba, said Saturday, THE last
gun has been fired in defence of
the Dingley schedules but 1 am
afraid it has produced no material
effect. When such men as Payne
and Grosvenor and Long abandon

there now seems to be little doubt
that the Speaker and the President

THE conviction of Harmon of
murder in the first degree by the
jury at Georgetown last week, was
a surprise to the court and to the
prosecuting attorney. The verdict
was not in accord with theevidence,
which was not over-skillfully han
died by the defense, and the recent
pardon of Cole, who committed a
cold-blooded murder, and the bru-
tai murder of Mrs. Collins at Laurel
should not be permitted to operate
granting to Harmon a new trial,
Briefly his case may be summed uT
in the facts that he and Mitchell
the man killed, had had two fight:
previous to their last, and eacl
time Harmon was worsted. TIL,
dying man stated that both hat
their axes in hand, and that tn
blow was, struck by Harmon Will
he was looking. The man live,
thirty-six hours after receiving tn
injury, and no attempt to take u
arteries was made. Harmon kille
Mitchell and should be punished
but from the evidence adduced,
verdict of murder in the second d,
gree would have met the demand
ofjustice. If no new trial is granted
Governor HUM will be justified
