SKRYDLOFF is READY
COMMAND THE FLEET

St. Petersburg, April 19.-Vice Ad-
miral Skrydloff arrived here to-day on
his way to the Far East, where he
will take command of the Russian fleet
at Port Arthur. He was accorded an
enthusiastic reception by the people,
who thronged the streets. Admiral
Skrydloff received a popular demon
stration, the scenes rivalling those wit
messed at the time of Gen. Kuropatkin' S
departure for the Far East. The
Nevsky Prospect was crowded from
end to end and the depot was almost
taken by assault.
The Admiral was accompanied by
Lieutenant Shishlo, whose brother was
lost on board the Petropaylovsl1. and
who begged for the privilege of TAX
ing his brothers place.
To his friends Skrydloff has declared
that his aim will be to conserve the
fleet at Port Arthur as menace to
the enemy until it is reinforced.
The Admiralty says the damages to
the battleship Pobieda are slight ana
soon will be repaired. 1t is now as
serted that the Pobieda did not strike
a mine, but was accidentally rammed
during the confusion following the Pet
ropavlovsk disaster.

The corner stone was laid by the

SIX BURN TO DEATH.
Miners Lay the Blame for the Fire
Upon Italians.

Somerset, Pa, April 19.-An out
break has been hourly expected at
the town of Garrett. the scene of the
mining operations of the Garrett Coal
Company and other operations. The
trouble has been brewing there ever
since the inauguration of the miners
strike five months ago.
A number of the striking miners at
Garrett own homes there, but re-
Gently the Garrett Coal Company
erected a number of houses and the
bringing in of the new men to occupy
these houses and to take the place of
the strikers in the mines has worked
the latter up to a high state of excite
ment. The strikers have paraded the
streets, openly armed, and they have
prevented the moving of the household
goods of the incoming miners from the
railroad stations.
A horror that may not be connected
with the strike situation at Garrett
was the burning to death of two wom-
en- and four children in their home at
that place between the hours of and
o'clock this morning. The victims
were: Mrs. Rossana Meyers, her two
daughters, Lucinda and Annie, aged
80 and years, respectively. and her son,
Richard, aged years. The two 9TH
er victims were young children of Lu-
cinda The house was a one-and-a-
half-story log building, and the women
and children were sleeping in the up
per story. Mrs. Meyers and Jonas
Sullivan, a boarder, were asleep on
the first floor. They were awakened
by the smoke and the noise made by
the fire and had barely time to save
their lives by rushing from the build
ing.
The victims in the upper stories per-
ished without help, and their bodies
were reduced to ashes. The origin of
the fire is unknown. Meyers, the head
of the household. was a miner, and
until recently worked for the Somerset
Coal Company. The strikers lay the
origin of the fire to a number of Ital-
ians, who are working for the Garrett
Coal Company.
Two Italians were arrested tonight,
charged with setting fire to the house.
Meyers asserts the Italians threatened
him for refusing to sell them butter
on the ground that they were "scabs."
The saloons have closed and all was
quiet here at 10 o'clock tonight.
