this occasion promptly contributed S50,06O.
Such are some of the fruits of the gen.
erous spirit OF charity which is implanted
in the hearts of the initiates of our order.
Our membership has great reason to exult
over past successes and to register a vow
that from this time forth the future of

shall be more glorious by doing still
greater fraternal acts, as we have power
through means and experience.

FOR EUROPEAN DISARMAMENT.
King Of Italy Will Urge It Upon EN-.
peror William,

Rome, Aug. 4.-With regard to the
statement in these dispatches, under
date OF July 13, that one OF the prin-
cipal questions of discussion between
King Victor Emmanuel and the czar
of Russia upon the occasion of the
formers visit to St. Petersburg would
be the reduction of ornaments, it is
learned that the kings visit to En-
peror William at Berlin the latter part
of this month is intended to continue
this same work in the direction of
reaching an international understand
ing in the matter of reduced arma-
ments, the king of Italy having been
encouraged in his determination by
the cZar, who is ready to reassume
the leadership of the movement he
initiated with The Hague conference.
According to information received
from an authoritative source, the sov-
ereigns referred to argue that the time
of European wars is almost over, as
their interests are so great in other
continents that it is now worth while
to fight for strip of land here and
there in Europe. Consequently the
large ornaments which are now in
tended for European conflicts might
be reduced or transformed for the de-
fense of colonial interests, the gain
being devoted to the improvement of
commerce and industry and for a COL
lective fight against the common dan
ger-American competition.

Three Night Attacks Made on the Mil.
itia at Shenandoah.
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 4.-The en-
tire Eighth regiment was called to
arms during the night as a result of
three attacks made by a band of men
in ambush who threw stones at the
troops now in camp on the plateau
outside the town. These attacks are
becoming so frequent that Brigadier
General Goblin has decided to adopt
stern measures to end them. A double
guard supplied with ball cartridges
surl ounds the camp and the sentries
have been instructed that if the stone
throwing is repeated they must shoot
p kill and Investigate afterward.
One of the attacking party, Lith-
uanian named William Stopponitz,
is under arrest and is confined in the
guard tent, and the provost marshal
is on the trail of others. It is not
known how many were in the crowd,
but the officers of the Eighth regi-
ment believe the number to have been

The platform was adopted without
q dissenting vote. It's interesting fea-
lures are:
THAT we assert the sovereignty Of
the people over all corporations and
aggregations of capital and the right
residing in the people to enforce such
regulations, restrictions or prohibi.
tions upon corporate management as
will protect the individual and society
from abuse of the power which great
combinations of capital WELD. We
favor Nlch amendment of the inter-
state commerce act as will more fully
carry out it's prohibition of discrimina-
tion in ratemaking and any modifica-
tion of the tariff schedules as may be
required to prevent their affording
shelter to monopolies."
The resolutions heartily endorse
Theodore Roosevelt, especially his
reciprocity relations with Cuba, and
look upon his election in 1904 as "a
foreshadowed event demanded by all
of the people"

ments on Board Missing and Great
Anxiety Prevails.
Panama, Colombia, Aug. 4.-Tele-
graphic communication with San
Carlos was re-established during the
day and General Salazar received
telegram from San Carlos saying that
some revolutionary officers belonging
had passed that town in flight. They
report the defeat of the revolution
lists at Aqua Dulce. This news has
not been confirmed and details and
further information are awaited.
The United States cruiser Ranger is
reported to have gone to Aqua Dulce
for the purpose of bringing wounded
back to Panama. Definite news of the
engagement is expected when she re-
turns.
The government gunboat Boyaca,
which is missing, left here last Tues
day with reinforcements for General
Morales Berti, who is located near
the port of Aqua Dulce. She was at
tackled by the revolutionary fleet and
Obliged to retreat. Since that time
nothing has been heard of the Boyaca,
but being faster than the revolution
ary gunboat Padilla, she is believed to
have escaped.
The Boyaca's rudder was recently
found to be in very bad order and the
repairs made to it were conducted
rapidly and not very thoroughly.
General Salazar. governor of Pana-
ma, is of the opinion that some ac-
cident has happened to the gunboat
which has left her helpless at sea or
stranded on the coast OF some island.
United States Consul General Gud-
ger and Captain Potter of the United
States cruiser Ranger have sent cable
grams to Washington asking permis-
sion, for the sake of humanity, for the
Ranger to search for the Boyaca.

will be permitted to go to their rescue
The government gunboat Chuchuito,
which was sent from here with am
munition for General Morales Berti,
could not deliver her cargo because
the port of Aqua Dulce had been cap
tured by the revolutionists. Water
communication between the govern.
ment troops at Aqua Dulce and Pana-
ma is consequently interrupted.
General Salazar told a representa-.
tive of the Associated Press that II
General Herrera's forces were not de-
feated within five days he would
march with all the forces he has in
Panama to attack the revolutionary

General Salazar has received a tele

Thousand Shots Exchanged and Many
Persons Wounded.

Thousand Shots Exchanged and Many
Persons Wounded.
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 1.-The first
fatal rioting in the coal region since
the great anthracite coal miners
strike was declared took place here.
A thousand shots were exchanged,
and fifty casualties resulted.
The bloodshed started with clash
in which nonunion worker was beat
en- almost to death.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddal was
escorting two mine workers through
the lines of strikers pickets. One of
the men was jostled and forced to
drop a bundle which the strikers dis
covered contained a miners blouse
and overalls. The owner was dragged
into crowd and kicked and beaten.
Deputy Beddal opened fire and then
fed into the railroad depot, which
was at once surrounded by mob of
5000 strike sympathizers.
A cousin of the deputy, Joseph Bed
dal, a leading merchant of this bor-
ough, tried to make his way into the
depot. He was beaten into uncon-
seriousness and is in a critical condi-
ton.
The entire police force Of the bor-
ough was marshaled at this juncture
and Chief John Frye
Led the Officers to the Rescue.
The police escorted the imperiled dep
uty to a locomotive. The mob pressed
around the engine and then the police
fired volley.
The rioters fell back long enough
to permit the locomotive to steam
away with Beddal. But the mob re-
turned and attacked the police.
Chief Frye gave the order to fire.
At the first volley the mob fell back
and several were seen to fall.
But the throng returned to the at
tack and charged the policemen.
The officers retreated, turning in
their fight and firing at their pur-
suers.
Two of the officers were caught and
beaten. One of them, Stiney Yacop-
sky, will die.
Policeman Ringheiser was shot in
the hand and back; Policeman Lau-
ritas was shot in several places and
cannot recover.
Shenandoah physicians have dressed
the wounds Of forty of the rioters.
John Fahy, president of the district
mine workers organization, has issued
statement calling upon the miners
to do all in their power to preserve
order
