 The third week of the strike began with conditions reported quiet all through the coal felds. though every body realizes that there might be an outbreak at any minute. There were some to speak of the calm before the storm, etc. but nothing definite pre- sented itself t0-indicate that there was to be excitement.
 The rain of the noonday made the soldier life q little hard but as q whole the military appears to be getting along nicely. Complaint was made Of the food being provided and the coal companies were informed that if pro- vision was not made to feed the sol- diers better the military would be withdrawn.
 aAACRVILS IGC6tNG4 S&AO OANy S-AAs morning were to the effect that there was more or less promiscuous shoot- arg around BIossburg and Republic where the soldiers are in camp. The camps are not so pleasantly located, but arc in good place of operation. The coming of the cavalry will re- lieve any feeling of unrest.
