 The aspect of Rome was compIetelzr cnansed early today. The gay. crow6S eo caty of yesterday seemed dead
 NO cabs passed through the streets ana even the street cars. which ran on long Intervals, were escorted by poficc and were almost empty. as the peonIe feared to ride in them on account o3 threats of the strikers. The shops were open. but the shutters were up. as tha propr1etors intended to be ready for any eventuahty. They were apprehensive of rloting and feared, as on other occasIorn that their windows would be snashed E. X
 The whole city was occupied by troops. Detachments of cavalry were posted or the squares and the special detaiis of soldiers and police were stationed around tne vaucan 90 as to prevent any attempt against the PapaI palace.
 Foreigners continue to leave Roma h,,t many of them cannot get away. as thev are far from the railroad station ana no cabs are obtainable, and the hotel oua- nibuses carry only limited number of passengers.
 If the strike continues and all the foreigners leave the city. it Is said board ing keepers alone will lose on an avers age s14.00Q daily.
 Important encounters between tha strikers knd troops took place during the morning.
 The strikers were easily dispersed ny cavalry charge.

His wife was severely injured two of his children are still unconscious and may die, and he and his baby and two other children were dead this morn ing. He was still clasplng his baby in his arms when his body was found close to the house. Evidently he had made an ef- fort to get out of the house. carrying the children with him. The bodies are terri ply dishgured where flying blanks struck them.

Is in New York and 1t Is hardly reason able to expect that counsel would have posted off to New York to find out what these facts were. That is an additional reason and in my judgment would be of itself sufficient reason to warrant the court in postponing this case until all the facts be submitted in the issues involved in the case. am of the opinion this mos ton must be granted Take the order of the court to that effect"
 Arraignment Is Postponed.
 As soon as Judge Klugh announced that he would sign an order for the con- tinuance Of the case. Solicitor Thurmond suggested that the arrangement might be had while the prisoner was In court.
 Mir. P. H. Nelson. of counsel for the de- fense said that nothing was to be gained by having the arraignment at this time and that in case the defense wished to attack the validity of the grand, jury or desired to make any other motion that according to the decision in the 56th South Carolina that such motion had to be made prior to the arraignment and that counsel did not yet know what mo- ton it may have occasion later on to make and as the case had already been continued absolutely nothing could be gained by having the arraignment today
 Judge KluEf agreed in this view. and said that he would make the case against James H. Tillman continued, and that ended the matter for this term of court
 Counsel for the defense was asked fl application for bah would be made IT view of the continuance of the case, ana Il was stated that there was not any fnten' ton to make further application Tor Daii and likely such a move would not b< made.
 Tillman Well Dressed.
 Col. James H. Tiilman came into court quite early. He was accompanied to the court room by Senator B. R. Tnlman who sat at his side during the hearing this morning. George w. Croft and Pat rick H. Nelson concluded the presenta- ton of the motion for Tillman this morn ing. To all appearances Tfllnlan looks as well as ever after his confinement ir the county jail since January. He wal we'll dressed and in good spirits and talked freely with his counsel during the progress of the hearing.
 Solicitor Thurmond and Colonel Andrew Crawford presented the case for the State. The continuance of the case until next term of court could in itself mean nothing and for the defense no import ance whatever is to be attached to ths motion for the continuance of the case except for the policy of delay.
 Captain White Very Ill.
 The State made 1t manifest throughout the entire hearing that it was ready and anxious to go to trial and that any de. lay was at the solicitation of the defense Captain White Is in a bad condition and may not be able to be here at any trial The expectation of the State was to call the case on Monday next and not until then. but today's postponement is final until next June.
