The governor general does not dare to command the troops, not knowing whether they would obey or npt. established republics, intending later to confederate into a Baltic republic. "The revolutionaries are preparing an irresistible strike for January, and tho workmen are being armed. "The revolutionaries have refused to allow either the Germans or Russians to leave Livonia."

COAL MINERS DIGGEBS OF BLACK DIAMONDS AGAIN THINK OF STBJKING IN PENNSYLVANIA. Convention- May Demand Eight-Hour Work Day and Recognition of Union In Such Case Trouble Is Sure to Arise. SHAMOKIN, Pa., Dec. 14. The min ers of the three anthracite districts met in convention here today to decide the question as to whether there will be a strike or lockout at tho termination of the agreement between the mine work ers and mine Owners next April. The convention was called to order .in the opera house by President .John Mitchell f the United Mine Workers. The con vention will be in session several' days, during which time a list. of demands will be prepared for submission to tal operators. The ehief demands, it is said, will be an eight-boor day, wage payments according to weight, uniform wages for all employes, a uniform scale for rock slate, water and dead work, and the recognition of the union. Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 14. If the re port from Sbamokin proves true that the convention of the anthracite miners iernn tndav will demand an eirrht -hour workday a ad recognition of the union,! it is regarded as a settled fact that J there will be trouble with the opera-j tors. There appears to be a difference of opinion among the miners in regard j to the, attitude the union should as-j snme next year. Some are said to be) of the opinion that siaee the last strike! they have been greatly bothered and; are, able to make snore money. There j are, however, a large number who will , insist upon the union being recognized j and will fight for an eight-hour day.' j The Sbamokin convention is expected to show definitely bo the men stand' regarding the sew contract to be made with the operator. Juat what will be: asked is not. known. It is thought that President Mitchell it jdesirons of gain- ing at least one point j perhaps by com-, promise, and one of thie principal things , the union desires is Ajr the various op-j erators ana companies o coueci uc union dues from the miners. This re quest, however, wid lie refused by the eoal companies. j t - The request for shorter workday and for recognition of the nnion will also be turned down. This may then lead to another strike. It Is thought, joscrer, that the miners will not risk all this .time, as they will ascertain I what the feeling of the public is and r . . . ... . ii '11 . what siann x-resmeni uoontTrji wm take. : It i said that President Eoose-I vclt believes the miners have done very fwell under the preaent agreement.

Three jurors, two of whom are carpenters and one a real estate" dealer from the interior of the state, have been accepted by both the government and packers' lawyers in the "beef trust" case now at the bar before Judge Humphrey. Considerable dijfneulty in securing competent men is being met with and during today's ex amination of the veniremen, clashes be tween the opposing counsel were fre quent. When the court adjourned to night each side had exhausted three of their seven peremptory challenges. It developed today that Commissioner of Corporations Garfield and his chief assistant, Dr. Durand, have practically become witnesses for the defense, inas much as Garfield has been served with a subpoena duces tecum, issued at the instance of. the defense to produce ev ery book, paper, record or report he has now or did have. By this it is declared the "defense will endeavor to show that Garfield has sworn statements in his possession made by the packers during Garfield's investigation and that in view of this fact the packers gained im munity from criminal prosecution.

(Special to The Statesman.) That M. L. ilyan. was the innocent victim of an irate mob, incensed without just reason or cause, is the opinion of the j Eureka public and many good people of Bohner ville. A number of letters from various individuals of that place testify in his behalf. The mother of one of the pro posed students became hysterical when her daughter! was about to leave. The father had given his consent previously, but with hfii son, stirred up the mob, which perpetrated the act which is now condemned by all. Ryan ws horse whipped, put in the middle of the road and made to walk several miles amid the jeers and taunts of the instigators. There is talk of prosecuting the insti gators and leaders. 15 . (The foregoing dispatch refers to Mr. M. L. Ryan, who is conducting the holi ness mission on Twelfth street, near the woolen mills, in connection with which is a school or college. It appears, that Mr. Ryan. while soliciting or prWnring students for the institution in northern California a few days ago, was roughly handled by a mob on account of a false report which was circulated to the ef fect that he was obtaining girls for im moral purposes, i No sucn charge is jus tified against these people. They are .'zealous in the cause in which they are engaged perhaps .gome might think overzealous but they are well-behaveil, jfood, moral people, laboring along the lines of charity, education and general helpfulness, and their work here seems to be deserving of encouragement and not censure or contumely.
