FIRED ON BY STRIKERS.
Deputy United Statu Marshals Had to Flee
Attempted to Serve Injunction. .
Huntington, W. Va., June 27.
Yesterday a posse of deputy United
States marshals were fired on by the
strikers, and forced to" flee from the
coal fields at Mateawan. On their
journey to Bluefields the officers were
forced to travel 25 miles on foot,
owing to the destruction of the rail
road by floods. Immediately upon
their reaching Mateawan they began
scrying notices of the injunction,
which had been issued by Judge
Jackson, of the Federal court. A
mob of strikers followed, armed to
the teeth with firearms. On all aides
could be heard the cry : "down with
government by injunction." Women
called the vengeance of heaven upon
the marshals, and children hurled
stones at them. When nightfall
came, notice had been served on the
strikers of all the coal companies but
one, and they were to be served at
Thacker, Fearing an ambush, " the
officers waited jTtil morning, and
early yesterdayt out for Thacker.
Some time before noon they attempted
to serve an injunction. .. A mob fol
lowed, enraged to desperation at the
sweeping characetr of the injunction.
One reckless fellow fired the first
shot, and almost instantly the moun
tain sides echoed the reports of 20 or
30 rifles. The deputies fled, barely
escaping with their lives.
The strike situation is assuming a
most serious stage. Sheriff Hatfield
has withdrawn all his deputies, be
cause, it is said, he does not believe
in that policy being used to put
down the strike. The United States
marshals have been alone, and after
being chased out of the field yester
day it is believed they will be strong
ly reinforced and return to the fight
when they appear to enforce the in
junction. A band of striekrs, almost 1,000
strong, have crossed over into Ken
tucky and are occupying the moun
tain passes. Here they are out of
reach of the deputy marshals, and
command the entrances to the col
lieries. It is said that at a mass
meeting at Thacker the miners de
cided to ignore the injunction.
THROUGH A TRESTLE.
Passenger Train on Wabash Railroad Wrecked
Many Reported Killed.
Indianapolis, June 27. A special
from Peru this morning says:
West bound passenger train No. 3,
on the Wabash Railroad, ran into a
washout at Cass, 15 miles west of
here, wrecking the' engine and five
cars. It is rumored that 15 persons
were killed.
The train is due at Peru at 10:55,
but left here one hour late. The
train wa running at a high speed to
makeup lost time, and when near
Cass, five miles east of Logansport,
plunged through a trestle that had
been swept away by a washout.
The engine was totally demolished
and the three passenger coaches and
two baggage cars were derailed and
overturned. Every surgeon in Peru
was summoned, and the relief party
left for the scene.
Details are meager, but it is ru
mored that the engineer and fireman
and at least a dozen passengers were
killed and many more injured. 4
TO EXPLORE ALASKA.
Government Party Will Traverese Wide Un
v known Area. . , '
Seattle, June 27. A United States
exploration party arrived in Dawson
early in June on the way to Northern
Alaska to explore one of the widest
unknown areas in the vast territory.
The party was to leave Dawson about
June 10, going down the Yukon to
Fort Hamlin by steamer, thence over
land by the Dahl river trail to the
middle fork of the Koyokuk to Berg
man, where supplies were shipped to
the party last year.
Thence they will go up one of the
southward flowing tributaries of the
Koyokuk, probably the Alashuk,
thence over the divide to the Kowak
and down the 'Kowak to Kotzebue
sound, opening into the Arctic ocean
a shcH distance north of Behring
strait. This is the first government
party ever detailed to this field, which
has been visited by few white men.
They will gather geological informa
tion and mabke maps of the country
traversed.

The Pope Growing Weaker.
Rome, Juue 27. Owing to his in
creasing feebleness the pope's physi
cian has forbidden him to follow his
usual custom of passing the hot
weather in a pavilion in the Vatican
garden. Notwithstanding this fact,
no alarm concerning the pope is felt.
It is reported that at the recent audi
ence between the pope and Cardinal
Gibbons, the pope bid the latter a
touching farewell, saying he would
probably never see him again.

RAN OUT OF HER COURSE.
Passenger! Became Panlc-Stricken, but Wtre
Safely Landed.
St. John's, N. F., June 28. Tha
Orient Steam Navigation Company's
steamship Lusitania, from Liverpool,
Juno 18, for Montreal, having 300
pasbengors on board, was wrecked
last night off Capo Ballard.
The Lusitania was bound round
Cape Race for Montreal with a large
cargo and a shipload of passengers.
She mistook her course in a dense fog,
and went ashore near lienews, 20 miles
north of Cape Race, Iwfore daybreak.
The ship ran over a reef, and hangs
against a cliff. The passengers, who
are mostly emigrants, were panio
stricken. They stampeded and fought
for the boats, but were overcome by the
officers and crew . The rougher ele
ments among the passengers used
knives. The women and children
were first landed, and the men fol
lowed. The crew stood by the ship.
A heavy sea was running, but at
latest advices the Lusitania was hold
ing her own. It is thought that she
will prove a total wreck.
The passengers of the Lusitania
had a terrible experience. The first
knowledge they had of the disaster
was wben, owing to the ship scraping
over the rocks, they were hurled from
their berths by tho shock. A scene
of great excitement prevailed. Three
hundred people were clamoring to
escape, while tho crew tried to pacify
them and launch the boats. The
male, passengers in their attempt to
seize the boats, trampled the women
under foot and fought the crew with
knives. : Some of the more cool head
ed of the passengers assisted the crew
in the efforts to get out the boats.
The women and children, almost
nude, were pulled up the cliffs by the
coast people.
The unhappy passengers, after
shivering for hours on the hilltop,
tramped weary miles to reach the
houses of the fishermen, where they
are now sheltered. Previous to reach
ing the cliffs, the passengers passed
two hours of terrible anxiety on the
wreck. As a furious rain Btorm and
heavy sea raged all night, it is feared
the Lusitania will be a total wreck.
The last reports received here said
the steamer was breaking up, that
her foreholds were full of water and
that her cargo was being salvaged.
There is hope of saving the effects of
the passengers, as, where possible,
they were stored above decks.
. RIOT AT ROCHESTER.
Policemen and Strikers Fought and Many
Were Injured.
Rochester, N. Y., June 28. One
thousand striking laborers had a
brisk encounter with the police today,
in which 11 policemen and 20 rioters
were injured. The rioters set out, as
several times before, too drive off the
laborers working on street improve
ments. At Mill and Commercial
streets they encountered 50 laborers
employed by the Rochester Gas &
Electrio company in digging a trench,
and drove them from the trench.
The workers sought refuge in the
power house of the company, and the
police undertook to disperse the mob.
The police reHervcs were drawn up in
a platoon of 50 across the street, and
upon orders advanced with drawn
clubs upon the mob. Immediately
the air was filled with bricks, stones
and wood, and shovels and picks in
the hands of the strikers were used
freely. Amid the melee a shot rang
out and the sergeant commanding the
platoon ordered the police to fire over
the heads of the strikers. This had
the desired effect. The strikers scat
tered and the police chased them
through the streets to the City Hall
Park, where they were held awaiting
action by the mayor.
Police reinforcements were hurried
to the scene of the riot, but their ser
vices were not required. The injuries
bus tanied by several of the policemen
are of a serious nature. The hurts of
the rioters were mostly scalp wounds
inflicted by the officers' clubs.
A Second Cloudburst
Bluefields, W. Va., June 28. An
other destructive storm swept the
flood-swept district tonight, and while
no loss of life is yet reported from
this second visitation, the damage to
property has been great. The work
done by the large force of men repair
ing the damage of the lost storm has
been destroyed in many places.
Refunding Proprietary Stamps.
Washington, June 28. The com
missioner of internal revenue, Yerkes,
has decided that the value of propri
etary stamps properly affixed and
canceled on proprietary articles not
removed from the factory for sale or
use before July 1, 1901, may be re
funded on proper application to the
collector from whom the stamps were
purchased. .
California Hotel Burned.
Bakersfield, Cal., June 28. The
Central hotel in Kern, about a mile
east of here, caught fire today, and
before the flames were subdued one
life is known to have been lost and
others are missing. The skull of a
fireman, was crushed. The fire is
supposed to have started from the ex
plosion of a lamp in one of the rooms.
In a moment all ways of escape were
cut off by walls of flame. Loss, $10,
000; insurance, $3,000.
FLAG CAME DOWN
UNION JACK WAS REMOVED AT
. SKAQWAY CUSTOM HOUSE.
Flag Had Been Hoisted by Canadian Custom!
Officer, Under Instruction! From Hi! Gov.
eminent An Oregon Man Cut It Down,
and Calmly Handed Hi! Card to tha OKI-
cial Who Protested.
Vancover, B., C, July 1. The
steamer Islander, from Sakgway to
day, brings news of an exciting flag
episode at Skagwny. E. S. Busby,
Canadian customs agent there, acting
on instrctions from Ottawa, hoisted
the British flag on a pole above his
office. Several incendiary remarks
followed the hoisting of tho ensign,
and on the following morning a tall,
athletic-looking man glanced up at
the flag, and stopping at the foot of
the staff, took out his pocket knife,
and cutting the halyards, pulled down
the flag and run the halyards through
the block, rolled up the colors and
tossed them into a recess of tho build
ing. It did not take Customs Agent
Busby long to come to the defense of
the flag of his country. When he
reached the flag-furlor the lattor
calmly pulled a card from his pockot,
and, after handing it to the astonished
Canadian official, turned on his heel
and walked away. On the card was :
"Goorge Miller, attorney-at-law,
Eugene, Oregon." "faiiler is a brother
of Joaquin Miller, the California poet,
and is visiting friends in Skagway.
GUAM TERRORIZED.
United Statu Forces Brought Into Disrepute
Commander Schroeder'a Orders.
Washington, July 1. The atten
tion of the navy department has been
formally called to what appears to
be an unsatisfactory condition of
affairs in Guam. Tho incoming mails
brought a copy of an order issued by
the naval commander of the island,
Commander Beaton 8chroeder, de
nouncing "hoodlumism and lawless
ness," which he says are rampant at
the station. The order refers to ter
rorism at the fort, gambling and
drunkenness, which have brought the
United States' force into disrepute."
The order closes with the imposi
tion of restrictions on the liberty of
the marines.
It is believed the navy department
will be obliged to look into the de
nunciation of the marines. General
Hcywood, commandant of marines,
already has boon called upon to fur
nish such information as ho has, and
it may be that a court of inquiry will
be appointed.
STORM IN THE NORTHWEST.
Damage Done In the Twin Cities Several
Persons Killed.
Minneapolis, Minn., July 1. A
terrible storm swept over Minneapolis,
St. Paul and vicinity this afternoon.
The storm broke out about 4 o'clock,
being preceeded by almost total dark
ness. Many people went into the
street, and, when the storm of wind
and rain broke, there were many in
jured. Several persons were killed.
Tho wind also blew down several
buildings.
Heavy storms are reported all over
this section, and the property loas
will run into the thousands, and
muny head of livestock killed. The
worst storm was that which passed
through the district south of New
Richmond, Wis. It was a tornado
and did much damage to farm prop

the Herald from Montevideo, says:

bound for Sun Francisco with coal
for the Pacific squadron has arrived

Sheepmen and Cattle-Raisers Mix.
Cheyenne, Wyo., July 1. A report
of a clash between sheepmen and cat
tle raisers m the Sweet ater country
has reached here, but nothing definite
can be ascertained. The Sweet Water
country is where a dead line was re
ported established by cattle men a lew

greatly overstocked with sheep, and
the flocks have been threatening to
invade territory heretofore held ex
clusively for cattle.
TIEN TSIN CROWDED.
City Full of Soldiers and Officer! Returning
' Home.
Tien Tsin, July 2. The city of
Tien Tsin is now more crowded than
ever. Officers of all nations are here
en route for their homes, and the
hotels are placing cots m every avail
able place. Apartments have been
prepared at the University of Tien
Tsin for Prince Chuan and his suite
of 40, who will remain there for three
days before leaving for Germany to
make formal apology for the murder
of Baron von Ketteler.
Mr. Denby, who, when the foreign
troops arrived, was appointed by the
Chinese Merchants' Company to pro
tect its property, says the company,
in its claim against the United States
government, did not uso the word
"loot" against the marines, but mere
ly hold them responsible. Tho
greater part of the company's proper
ty consisted of rice, which was after
wards distributed untler orders from
the British and American generals to
assist those in need. Mr. Denby
thinks the company's cliam should
have been added to the indemnity as
legitimate expenditure. Other mer
chants say the company never had
J0O.OO0 taels' worth of property here.
It is pointed out that the company
stored three boxes of valuables with
the chartered bank before the trouble
began and did not withdraw these
until October, and that, consequently,
it is quite improbable any jewels
were left to be looted. Moreover, the
place was thoroughly gone through
by local looters before the allied forces
arrived. It would be legally impossi-'
ble to hold any portion of the reliev
ing forco responsible for anything but
the rice and kcoal, which were used as
a military necessity, to feed Chinese
coolies who were forced to labor and
also those who were without means of
livelihood.
, TUNNEL CAVED IN.
Narrow Escape of Passenger! In an Express
Train.
Baltimore, July 2. The roof of the
Union Railroad tunnel in the eastern
section of the city, used and con
trolled by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
caved in shortly before 2 o'clock this
morning. It is supposed that a de
fect in the arch of the tunnel caused
the accident.
A narrow escape from death or ser
ious injury was experienced by the
passengers and crew of an express
roin which was caught by the falling
debris in the tunnel. As far as can
be learnod, the avalanche of earth
and rocks caught the rear express
car, which was immediately In front
of the passenger cars. The train was
not running rapidly and tho jar was
not severe. The engineer quickly
brought his train to a full stop and
word was sent from a signal tower to
the Union station. A yard engine
was sent into the tunnel and tho
thinly filled passcngor coaches were
drawn back to Union station without
the occupants being aware of the dan
ger through which they had passed.
