ARMED STRIKERS CONTROL
TAKE POSSESSION OF TOWN OF
 GARRETT, PA.
Defy the Law and Parade the Streets Prevent the Moving of Household Goods from Railroad station of In- coming nriners--Two Women and Four Children Burned to Death.

VuA ChhsuAGAA baAAAA<sa NC @fNettt@s Somerset, Pa, April 19.--An uotbreak
 even more disastrous than the riot at
 Boswell last January has been hourly
 expected at the town of Garrett, where
 the trouble has been brewing ever since the inauguration of the miners strike, five months ago. A number of the striking miners at Garrett own homes there, but recently the Garrett Coal
 company erected number of houses, and the bringing in of new men to oc- cupy these houses and take the places of the strikers in the mines has work ed the latter up to a high state of ex- citement and resentment. The strikers have been parading the streets openly
 armed, and they have prevented the moving of the household goods of in coming miners from the railroad station
 to the new company houses.
 A horror that may or may not be con- nected with the strike situation was the
 four children in their homes at Garrett
 early this morning.
 The victims were: Mrs. Roanna Mey- CTS; her two daughters, Lucinda and
 Annie, aged thirty and eight years, re- spectively; her son Richard, aged five
 years, and two young children of Lu- cinda.
 The house was a one and one-half- story log building and the women and children were sleeping in the upper story. MT. Meyers and Jonas Sullivan, a boarder. who were asleep on the first
 floor, had barely time to save their lives by rushing from the building.
 The origin of the fire is unknown, but runor connects it with the troubles growing out of the miners strike. Meyers was a miner, and until recent ly worked for the Somerset Gold com pany. Lately he has not been working and it is said he has been supported by the miners union. The strikers lay the origin of the fire to a number of Ital- ians who are working for the Garrett Coal company.
 Strikers armed with Winchester ri- fles paraded the streets to-day. They Isay this demonstration is to prevent the Italians from leaving the commun- ity before the coroners inquest has been completed. Coroner S. J. Louther em- pannelled a jury to-day but postponed his investigation indefinitely, thinking that the public mind is not in a proper condition for an impartial inquiry at this time.
 During last night many shots were fired but no fatalities resulted. Three months ago the Garrett Coal company secured an injunction restraining the strikers and all other persons from in- terfering with the company's employees. This injunction is still in force and the present condition of affairs is in open violation of it. It was to enforce the requirements of this injunction that Sheriff Coleman went to Garrett to-day.

of the Men Responsible for the WAT
 Policy VIII Remain in Power-AIH
 Have Lost the Confidence of the Cxnr Fresh Battle Reported Raging at Port Arthur.
 St. Petersburg, April 1s.-yiceroy AIexieff has applied by telegraph to the emperor to be relieved of his position of viceroy in the Far East It is expected that the request will be immediately granted
 The immediate cause of the viceroy's application Is reported to be the ap- pointment of Vice Admiral Skrydloff, one of Admiral Alexieff's S strongest enc mics and sharpest critics, as successor to the late Admiral Makaroff in com mand of the Russian navy in the Far East.
 When the Petropavlovsk was sunk Alexieff started from Mukden for Port Arthur, telegraphing to the emperor on his arrival there that he had hoisted his flag on the battleship Sevastopol, and would direct the operations of the fleet until a new commander was sent out. It is said that no answer to this was sent by his majesty. Without consult- ing Alexieff's wishes and without con sidering Vice Admiral Doubassoff, whom he had originally recommended, the emperor telegraphed Vice Admiral Skrydloff to proceed to Port Arthur via St. Petersburg and assume command of the fleet. It is said that not even this fact was officially communicated to Alexieff, and he was allowed to learn of it through the press dispatches. Alex-~ jeff considered the matter for three days, at the end of which time he is said to have reached a decision to apply for leave.
 The cause of the ennity between All exieff and Skrydloff, it is impossible to learn tonight It is believed to be deeper than mere difference of opin- ion as to the policy to be pursued in the Far East.
 viceroy is expected to come directly to St Petersburg and his friends hope that he will be elevated to the council of the empire By his withdraweI from the Far East he will not only lose the dignifed position of direct representa- tive of the emperor but the salary of 5000 and an allowance of $25.000 per annum.
 When Alexieff sewers his connection with the Far Eastern question none of the men responsible for the policy plir- sued before the war will be in power, Bezobrazoff having already lost the confidence of his majesty and the ad. .visory committees duties at present be ing purely perfunctory
