The United States government de-
manded not only the prompt arrest,

he dictated two strong kilograms, one

tSrikers Rout Uonunion Men.

Calumet, Mich.-Violating orders of
the Western Federation of Miners
against violence, many of the $4,000
striking miners of the copper belt Gre
ated enough disturbance to result in
the ordering out of the state troops.
Nearly 2,4e0 state soldiers, including
cavalry and artillery, are in the min
ing fields Of the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan.
While there were several outbreaks
in various parts of the mining coun-
try, the chief disturbance which set
the troops in motion was an assault
on deputy sheriffs stationed at the
mines of the Calumet and Hecla Co. to
protect property. None of the mines
have been reopened, but the strikers
seemed to object to the presence Of
the deputies.
About 300 strikers, armed with steel
drills, clubs and stones, and a few
with firearms, which they fired in the
air, marched to the No. 2 Congfomer-
ate shaft and stripped the deputies of
stars. The strikers, meeting with lit
tie opposition, proceeded to the Hecla
branch mine and Invested the deputies
there of their insignia of authority.
The deputies could not offer much re-
sistance, as the strikers ohtnumbered
them, but there were many fights after
the stars had been collected, and sew.
eral persons were severely beaten.

Militia Encampment in Nevada

Jefferson City,-Adjutant General
O'Meara announced that the state en-
campment, National Guards of Mis-
souri,, will be held at Nevada, August
"a to 81. He is in a controversy over
rates with the Missouri Pacific and
other railroads. The Missouri statutes
fix a rate of / cent a mile for military
forces, but the roads have declared
this confiscatory and demand 2 cents
a mile. The adjutant general has laid
the matter before the public service
commission, with the request that the
commission compel roads to transport
the soldiers at 1 cent a mile. The
money for transportation of militia is
appropriated by the national govern
ment, being apportioned by the war
department.

Will Recognize Winner.

Washington-President Wilson has
determined that no faction in the
present Mexican revolution shall OBJ
tain arms or ammunition from the
United States, and that neutrality
must be observed in its s~trictest sense
This was the Interpretation of the neu.
trality laws decided upon after 0
ferences with Senator Bacon and Rep
resentative Flood, chairmen of the two
congressional committees on foreign
relations.
While the Mexican rebels have been
getting no arms heretofore, the days
developments mean that the Huerta
administration will be deprived Of the
privilege previously given the Madero
government aGd the United States will
treat all sides alike in the present
dispute.
1t was found that there would be lit.
tie objection to repeating the joint res.
olution of March IA, 1912, giving the
president discretionary power to pro-
hibit expectation Of arms or munitions
of war to countries where domestic
violence existed, but permitting him
to allow the legally constituted gov
eminent of any country to buy war
supplies as usual.
According to the information, viii.
son asked the senators what they
thought of adopting a policy which
would give all the warning bands, as
well as the constitutionalists and the
Huerta government, to understand
that the United States would extend
its good offices to them all on condi
ton that all lay down their arms and
go peaceably about holding an cleo
ton and abide by the result of that
election, the victorious party there
upon to receive recognition from the
United States as the bona fide consti
tutional government.
