 OF 1893 WILL BE REPEATED.
2000 GUARDSMEN EN ROUTE

 workers May Quit.

Calumet, Mich, July 26.-Five hun dred members of the Michigan nation al guard are patrolling the copper country of Houghton, Keweenay and Ontonagon counties, where the strike of 1S,000 copper diggers has resulted in bloodshed and rioting.
 One thousand five hundred members of the state militia are now in the troubled district to preserve order, and today will see the entire membership of Michigan's national guard, number ing 2,500 men, on the scene.
 Despite the appearance of the first few companies of state troops in the strike zone, severe rioting in several parts of the district continued. A score Of persons are in hospitals and it is believed several will die from their injuries.
 Martial Law Threatened.
 Word has been received here from Lansing that if rioting should con- tinue Gov. Ferris would declare mar tial law
 Whole trainloads of residents of the copper country are leaving the dis trict, fearing a repetition of the troubled days of 1893, when martial law was proclaimed and government troops patrolled the country several months as result of the miners strike.
 Possibility that the strike of the copper miners will be extended to in- clude the iron miners of the Mar quette, Gogebic and Mineral ranges, involving 10000 additional man, caused grave apprehension among the military authorities on the ground.
 Mine Officials Deny Report.
 Officials of the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Go. denied that their men were dis satisfied with conditions or that a strike was likely. It is known, how ever, that Western Federation of Miners workers have been active among the iron miners and have gained a strong foothold.
 Nearly every man of the 1S.0OO strikers in the copper district is armed, many of them with automatic revolvers and rifles, and those who are well acquainted with the temper of these underground workers say that the coming of the state troops will only infame them to further disorders. In addition to the miners, nearly 1000 surface men are idle and many of these are joining the strikers in the rioting
