THE WEATHER Yesterday was all that
could have been desired for an outdoor
display, and Che appearance OF Old
Dominion Commandery of Knights
Templars on the streets accoutred IN
their handsome and snowy uniforms
headed by a fine band Of music caused a
congregation of people on the thorough
fare, over which they marched. The
scene on Washington streetwas especially
enlivening and interesting, and the
eyolutions of the commandery were wit
messed with evident pleasure by large
numbers. Old Dominion Commandery
has long been an Alexandria institution.
1t is composed of representative citizens
who have been regularly entered, passed
and raised" and who have climbed from
rung to rung of the mystic ladder until
qualified to wear the glistening swords OF
Knights Templar. The reception and
banquet al Armory Hall at night was
brilliant affair from start to finish, and
would have furnished suggestions to the
chronicler Of medieval times who was
wont to describe the meeting OF brave
knights and fair women in the castles OF
lhe olden time.

THURSDAY EVENING, OCT. %, 1902

THE LOVERS of peace and order who
fondly hoped that quiet had been re-
stored in the Pennsylvania coal fields
with the settlement of the coal strike are
distressed to read of the outrages that arr
still perpetrated in that region. Yesterdi y
a. Wikesbarre the feeling against non
union men occupying positions which
strikers had given up but now want back
again caused several attacks on them
and their property and a series OF out
bursts such as the region has not known
for weeks. In the lower field a soldier
was fatally wounded, five houses were
dynamited, and last night at Tamaqua
riot was threatened. In the middle
district man was disfgured for life,
and in the upper field two attempts
were made to wreck Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western trains. The condi-
tons are such that General Schall, COM
handing the First Brigade, said: "The
troops will never be Withdrawn from the
strike region as long as the strikers are
as disorderly as they have been in the
last twenty-four hours. The know
ledge that the non-union men were not
to be displaced caused the rage which led
to the outbreaks. Last night the situa-
tion was even more critical. Men who
applied for work yesterday were turned
away. These were engineers, chiefly, ID
whose places reliable non-uni ion men are
working, and will remain. This aroused
A more bitter feeling. Last night the
celebrations lead to much drinking,
many of The saloons holding open house.
General Schall, whose district is the
most dangerous, has increased the
guards taken military charge of Lans-
ford and instructed his men to exercise
the utmost vigilance.

is the unanimous opinion OF all obser-
vers ihat Alexandria is today in better
condition commercially than ever before
in its history, and should the tide be
taken at its food satisfactory results will
surely follow. There are more strangers
in our streets at present than at any time
since the civil war and the demand for
suitable dwellings has long exceeded the
supply. Manufactures in late years
have sprung up ON every side, and those
now in existence may be but an earnest
of many more to follow.

the utmost vigilance.

As STATED in yesterday S Gazette King
Oscar of Sweden, the arbitrator of the
damage cases which arose out of the
Samoan disturbances 1889, has decided
against the United States and Great
Britain and in favor of Germany. The
outcome will occasion no surprise for
those who remember the circumstances
in which the controversy originated.
When King Malietoa Laupepa died the
Samoan chiefs, according to their rights,
met to elect a successor. A majority OF
the votes were cast for Mataafa, but
. Cbisf Justice Chambers, of the insular
Supreme Court, awarded the prize to
Malietoa Tanu, the minority candidate.
In doing so the Chief Justice exceeded
his powers, and from this illegal act
sprang all the subsequent troubles.
The arbitrator apparently took the
ground that the installation of the
younger Malietoa by the Chief justice
having been usurpation, all the later
proceedings by the American and Brit
ish naval officers on the spot were IN
furtherance of the original wrong, and,
therefore, wrongful in themselves. The
decision is manifestly just, and nobody
possessed of sense of fairness will
find fault with the same. This country
will have to pay for ChiefJustice Cham
berss indiscretions, as was evident from
the beginning of the rumpus. This
government, while accepting the de-
cision of King Oscar in the controversy,
so far as payment of damages is con-
cerned, it is said, will refuse to recognize
the principle laid down, and will insist
on the right to land marines when the
lives and property of American citizens
are in peril.
