TWO FACTIONS FIGHT
Bloody Battle Among Polish
Miners at GirardsYiile. ;
N1XE KILLED AND SCORES WOUNDED
Mine Operator Issue an Address--National
Labor Confer. nee
at Chicago.
GiRARbviLLK, Pa., Sept 27. At least
nine men received fatal injuries and pos
eibly two score others were more or less
seriously wounded in the bloody riot
here late last night and early this morn
ing. The battle was the outcome of a
quarrel over the Hazleton troubles.
Thirty-six men aie knQwn to have been
wounded, and about fifty more are being
secreted by their friends, who fear that
they will be sent to jail.
Twelve of the ringleaders were
brought before Justice Elias Kissinger
. and ten before Justice , H. B. Johnson.
. All were charged with assault with in
tent to kill, housebreaking and rioting,
and were held in heavy bail for court.
Many warrants have been issued, but
haye not been served as yet.
Dr. Charles Schlessmaa "attended the
' tweritytwo wounded, nine of whom he
says will die. Drs. William Monaghan
and James Donohue attended fourteen
others, and how many the other physi
cians cared for is not known. . Three
others have been reported dead, but this
cannot be verified.
Several hundred Polanders board at
William Cullacabbage's hotel, on' Sec
ond street. Joseph . Cavendish is pro
prietor of the hotel at ' the east end of
town, where several hundred more Po
landers make thsir headquarters. Bad
blood has existed between ttiem for a
long time, and the recent strike troubles
' at Hazelton embittered them still more.
Last night matters came to a crisis.
Cullacabbage, it is charged, and his fol
lowers, to the number of several hun
dred, armed with guns, revolvers,
knives, axes and clubs, marched to Ca.
vendish's hotel, where several hundred
of their enemies were celebrating pay
day. The Cavendish men ascertained
that their foes were marching , npon
them, and, arming themselves hurriedly,
awaited their arrival. After a demon
strative march, the Cullacabbage con-
tingentarrived.and immediately stormed
the saloon.
Then a bloody battle ensued. The
men fought like demons, the. shooting
was fast and furious ; axes, knives, clubs
and other weapons were used with
deadlv effect. The battle lasted almost
an hour, when the Cullacabbage men
were routed, leaving their wounded be
hind. Everything in. the house was
mashed and the floors strewn with
wounded men. The walls were be
spattered with blood and shreds of hu
man flesh.
After the rioters bad returned to their
headquarters, the Cavendish gang armed
themselves to the teeth, and marched
to their enemies' rendezvous, where a
battle, still bloodier than the first, re
- suited. The police force and the con
stables of the surrounding region were
called to the scene, but were unable to
cope with the rioting horde, who con
tinued hostilities until morning.

tempted to assault her, when she seized
her husband's rifle and fired, inflicting a
fatal wound.

ENGLAND IN THE GAME
American Annexation of Ha
waii Will Be Protested.
BUT WILL NOT BE BELLIGERENT
She Merely Ilopes to Persnade Uncle
Sam to Give Up Neckar I "land--.
Happenings In Bawaii. .
San Francisco, Sept. 29. The steam
ship Australia arrived this morning from
Honolulu with the following Hawaiian
advices:
Honolulu, Sept. 22. When the ques-
tion of annexation cf the Hawaiian isl-
lamla fmnaa nit Kafti t ha TTnif-Afl KtaffB
senate, England will 1 make a' protest.
This protest will not be of a belligerent
nature, and will be only the forerunner
of a scheme to obtain control of Neckar
island for cable purposes. '
For some time past English war ves
sels have been besieging the islands 'in
the Pacific, but have kept their hands
off Hawaiian territory. In May. 1894,
President Dole had reason to believe
that England had her eves on Neckar
island. He acted promptly, and on the
25th of May a vessel was chartered and
sailed the same day for the island. Cap
tain James A. King, a minister of the
interior, was in. charge of the expedition.
The iBland was reached two days later,
and the following proclamation was
read:
"I, James A. King, minister of the in
terior of the provisional government of
the Hawaiian islands, take possession of
this island, known aa Neckar island, as
a part of Hawaiian territory ; having
been claimed by the Hawaiian govern
ment since the year 1843, wben an expe
dition under Capftun Paty was sent to
survey said island."
Both the United States and Hawaiian
governments know positively .that Eng
land does not object to annexation of the
islands; but she must have a cable land
ing near Honolulu, and a landing must
be on British soil. Neckar island is
practically worthless to Hawaii, and it is
believed that the United StateB govern
ment will readily cede the barren rock to
please England.
When Captain King visited Neckar
island it was found to be almost a sterile
heap of volcanic rocks, nearly 300 feet
high, with a few patches of coarse grass
on the surface.
Representative J. G. Cannon, of Illi
nois ; H. C Laudenslager, of New Jer
sey: A. S. Berry, of Kentucky, and J.
A. Tawley, of Minnesota, and their lam
ilies leave for San Francisco today, after
a Bhort stay in this country. Senator
Morgan will remain several weeks
longer. During the party's stay they
have ' been conducted 'to the different
points of interest, and have bad every
thing pertaining to Hawaii explained to
them. Many social functions have been
given in their honor. On the evening of
the 20th a public reception was tendered
Senator Morgan. It took place at the
United States legation, and was largely
attended.
Senator Morgan and the congressmen
visited Pearl harbor yesterday. The
latest charts, together with . a brief
sketch of the work already accom
plished by the Pennington survey party",
were laid before the senator and bis col
leagues. It has been clairced that representa
tive Cannon is opposed to annexation.
In an interview he said:
"You can rest assured that I have not
committed myself againet annexation.
I do not care what you hear to the con
trary, no man can say that I am pledged
ajainst the annexation of the Islands.
I dislike going into print on this question
at the' present time. I came here for
pleasure and to see and learn all I pos
sibly could during the short period of
my stay. I can truthfully say that I
2250
am greatly impressed with my trip to
Hawaii."
Congressman Cannon is chairman of
the house appropriation committee.
He has always opposed the allowance
of any large appropriation for the im
provement of Pearl harbor.
Congressman Berry talks freely. He
said :
"I was favorable to a political union
before I came here, and my visit has
only strengthened me in my position.
I feel confident that annexation will
come during the next session of con
gress." '
Congressman Laudenslager was non
committal when interviewed. He said:
"Not being on American, soil, I would
prefer not to talk on the subject. You
will hear very shortly how I feel about
the matter, for I intend to ventilate my
views wben ' I return home. I can say
that I was favorably impressed with the
American colony in Hawaii."

Port Townsesd, Sept. 30.- Captain
Clinger, of the tug Holyoke, which left
St. Michaels September 11th, says:
"I judge there were from 350 to 400
men at St. Michaels while we were there.
All were cheerful. There were none I

Klondike at St. Michaels, and do not be

news from St. Michaels up to the .13th
