j West Virginia Troops Called Out.
Charleston , W. Va. , Aug. 29. Gov
ernor White has ordered the Second
regiment of the West Virginia Na-
tlou Guard to the New Illver district ,
not , as he says , to settle the strike ,
but to protect life and propcry. Col
onel Morrison , at Parkerahurg , wua
given orders early in the morning to
call out his regiment and proceed
Ly special train to Thurmond , which
; wlll bo the headquarters. The causa
for this action by the governor Is the
appeal of Sheriff Daniel of Fayotte
county for assistance , on the ground
that many citizens refuse to respond
to his summons to net as deputies to
enable him to execute the orders ot
the court and his declaration that ha
is powerless to protect life and prop
erty. He communicated with the gov >
ernor yesterday , when his deputies
( wore fired on In the vicinity of Red
'Ash ' , where they were evicting miners.

reara for rent
Thurmond , W. Va. , Aug. 29. Every
thing is quiet in the New River coal
field , save u little skirmish at Caper-
ton , in which twenty or more shots
[ were fired , but no one Injured. Tha
entire Second regiment , state troops ,
arrived hero last evening and wera
distributed about the various coal op
erations where trouble resulted. Sher
iff Daniel thinks that more serious
trouble will soon follow. lie says the
strikers are becoming more deter
mined and that it was absolutely 1m
possible for him to cope with the sit
uation. Almost every mine on the
Kanawha and New River Is being op
erated on a small scale. In these
fields probably 2,000 miners are at
jwork and six or eight thousand idle.
Considerable property has already
been destroyed and It is believed that
the sending of troops will tend to en
rage the strikers more than ever and
bloodshed may soon result. The oper
ators are determined and state em
phatically that they have no Inten
tion of conceding a single demand
made by the strikers.
) SHOT BY STRIKING MINERS.
'Attack Is Made on. Guards at the
, Crane Creek Works.
' Bluefield , W. Va. , Aug. 29. There
Is considerable excitement on Crane
creek and Simmons creek over the
recent shootings. Yesterday John
Ruble , a blacksmith employed by the
Sagamore Coal company , was shot by
striking miners and killed. Reports
jwere current during the day that n
number of guards had been killed
and wounded by the strikers , but In-
jvesttgatlon proves that Ruble was the
only man killed. Ruble , in company
( with Barney Shumate , of this city ,
, \vho had been employed as a guard ,
left the company store to go to a point
on the works to stand guard , as the
company feared a visit from a mob.
En route they were fired on and Ruble
fell. Shumate was armed with a Win
chester and opened fire on the min
ers , who after their first volley ran.
None of them have been arrested.
/The / nonunion men who took the strik
ers' places are terrorized and a. good
many of them are leaving. . W. H. Me-
Quail , president of the Turkey Gap
Coal company , was fired at through a
iwindow. but was not hurt. A number
of guards have been engaged and are
being rushed Into the field to give
protection to the men who want to
. work.
Tamaqua Quiets Down.
Tamaqua , Pa. , Aug. 29. After a day
of intense excitement the situation
In the Panther creek valley has
quieted down and the troops are en
joying a well earned rest. Last evenIng -
Ing company K of the Twelfth regi
ment escorted the nonunion men to
their homes In Lansford and Coaldale ,
.While large crowds of strikers gath
ered on the streets , there was no hos
tile demonstration. Colonel Clement ,
in command of , the National Guard In
the field , issued an order to the troops
on duty In the Panther creek valley ,
calling attention to a recent act of
the legislature providing a penalty for
the calling of obscene names. Ho dl
reeled that the officers In command
rigidly enforce the provisions of the
net.
I Settlement Is Reached.
1
Plttsburg , Kan. , Aug. 29. After a
conference lasting sovcnty-flvo days ,
the union miners and union operators
of district No. 14 have reached a set
tlement. The contract agreed upon Is
practically the same as that of last
year , although the miners secured a
few unimportant concessions , It Is
now believed that all differences be
tween the miners and operators have
been adjusted and that all danger of
a strike has been averted.

Without Newspaper * 0py
Ilnvann , Aug. 21) ) . Prosldtv lt
finds himself today without the
imrt of n single newspaper controllisw ,
hy CiilKina. The editorials puhllshod
In the Cuban press are , considered col
lectively , remarlmhle for lholr hitter-
ness and outspoken opposition of the
chief executive. The only paper which

do la Marina , formerly the organ of
the Spanish government , and at pros
cut representing the Spanish colony
In the island. One of the causes for
the opposition to President I'alinn
was that ho granted the CaHtancOa
cbncosslon for the cstahllshmcnt of
an electric plant nt Havana. This
concession hrs hcon n suhjoct of hit
ter opposition In the house of com
mons , and oino of the papers are de
manding the president's Impeachment
unless the concession Is revoked. The
Impeachment question has boon on
the table for n week. The houses ol
parliament have heon divided on the
question.

come they uxtiMidcd to him on Uelmlf

the day in the smaller towns tlmwcli
which thu train msBiiil and at Nashua ,
Manchester. Weirs , and at Concord ,
although the day was ruplcto with
the miscarriage of arningcmiontH. At
Wclrs , whcro the (5rand ( Army ro-
iiilou WUB hi'ld , the pi'oplo. In the excess -
cess of thcli dcslro to aiTOid the presi
dent a titling reception , came near
causing a crush , which might have ro-
suited disastrously. As It WUB tha
president was for a time In the midst
of a howling , surging mass , and was
all but carried off his feet. So Inade
quate were the police arrangements
that the crowd had entire control of
the situation , and much relief was ex-
iressed when the president , after re
viewing the veterans , was escorted
Into the hotel for luncheon. Here
again the carefully laid plans for his
entertainment went astray. Luncheon
was served through the gallantry of
the governor's staff , who turned to
waiters. The president's speech at
the park was most favorably received.
As In the case of Bangor , he admonished
ished his hearers to remain still and
not to shove. A great crush occurred
at Concord as the train was pulling
out and for a time It was feared pee
pie would be hurt.
In his address at the state encamp
ment the president made acknowledg
ment of the lasting debt of gratitude
due the civil war eterans for the
grand lessons and Inspiring example ol
valor and Industry they have left to
their descendants. At Concord he
touched on the manly qualities required
quired to make a good citizen.

Berlin , Aug. 29. The entry of King
Victor Emmanuel into the city yester
day and his drive through the Untc-i
den Llnten was advanced purposely
half an hour from the published time

which were packed into place an hour
before by the police at the Bran
denburg gate were astonished by the
arrival at a brisk trot of a gorgeous
cavalcade , surrounding a six-horse
carriage , In which sat Emperor Will-
lam and a small man In a dark unl
form , pulling at a blonde moustache.
The cheers of the people were Bponta
neous and really cordial. They seemed
BO to Generals Corbln and Young and
their party , who had a row of good
windows. The American officers ad
mired the splendidly horsed cavalry
more than anything else. The show
was over In a few seconds. Shouting
and cheering and the successive
crashlngs of bands placed at Inter
vals between the squadrons of caval
ry marked the progress of the king
and the emperor down the avenue.
