Ominous signs of the gathering of a storm In the roko region have been observed for sotno time , tmd nt 2 o'clock this morning It hur.it at the Morewood plant. Tro fight was brief nnd deadly.

The attack was well planned nnd headed by men determined evidently to intimidate the men working there once for all. At 1 o'clock small bodies of strikers began to gather on the hills. They wora armed with revolvers , stones , Iron bars and every conceivable weapon. They were headed by a drum corps and marched first to the Stand ard works , where thev destroyed both telephone - phone and telegraph wires so that word could not bo sent to More- wood. While at the Standard works Incidentally destroying anything movnblo they might Bud the strikers created all the noise possible from tha surrounding hills , Intending to apprise those of tbcir fel low strikers In the vicinity of their Intentions of the raid. The few frightened men loft at the Stand ard managed to ropiir the wires and tbo warning reached tbo Morowoo I plant none too soon. As the noisy band of strikers , now numbering fully 1,200 men , approached that plant their outcries Increased , their drum corps was silenced and the ugly crowd gath ered in a bunch on the black hills overlook ing tbo plant for a moment's parley before attacking the place they know to tie well guarded Then they separated , ono largo detachment advancing on the plant by the main road , while the others scouted over the brows of the hill , and shortly after 3 o'clock nt a given signal all moved doivnon the works. Under the orders of Captain Lear the sixty- five guards stood quietly in line before the works. Suddenly a bronlc was made by the ad vancing mob towards the fences of the com- piny. The stern order of holt \ \ as given , but the only attention it received wns the firing of three shots by members of the mob , xvhich whistled close to the beads of the im passive guards. After the shots were fired the strikers turned and went towards the stables of the company with a dash. Without firing a shot the guards were ordered to follow , and the command was again given the strikers to halt. Thlsouly created a yell from faithcr down tbo road , nnd the mob answered the order with jells and threats. Again was the command given and again came mocking cries , and the order to flro was then { 'Ivon by Captain Lear. The volleys from the Winchesters were well directed , nnd a tew rounds were necessary to drive the rioters hack Into the hills , whore hun dreds of their fellow-strikers had gathered in anticipation of assisting the raid , but not in a battle with sucli a determined band of guards. Tholliinsonboth sides continued hardly three minutes. The volleys from the guards had a terrible effect on the compact mass ot striken , while the latter made nn attempt to return thi fire with what \veapous they possessed , but without effect. The dead were loft lying In the road , while the wounded , estimated at between forty and fifty , wore assisted or bodily carried into the bills by tholr fellows. All day the entire coke regions have pre sented scones of tbo wildest excitement. The foreign element especially bos been driven frantic by this woofnl result of their antici pated vlctorioub raid. Always turbulent , sullen and ready for desperate measures , they are not a" whit cowed bv thodce.th ot several of their number , while they have sedulously concealed In tuoir homes those of their number who wore wounded no doubt unto death. Anathemas , loud and deep , hwvo boon heard on all sides all day. Word has been sent by secret means all over tbo region that tholr comrades wore llrod on and mowed down without any provocation , and deadly vengeance on each and every member of the guards has been sworn to. This all comes from the foreign element. It will bo noticed that all the men killed boar forelirn nainos , and It Is a fact that not ono of them was a naturalized citizen of this country. It is also supposed that many of the wounded were foreign , nnd this explains the deep re sentment expressed In every foreign face in the regions tonlcht. The Slavs and Hungarians were the most fcarkss , the deputies suy. Not ono was Btruck on the back , but all bore marks of bullets on the face , indicating that they died llRlitlng with what weapons they possVssed. Thousands of strikers and their friends poured into this place from all over the re gion to hnvoa look at the dead , und perhaps hear what the living have to say. As darknes * fell tonight the foreigners began to draw uway in knots , and the night after the riot lowered amidst great fear of what might happen before another dawn. Ltito tonight word was received hero that two more men concerned In the riot had died In a striker's houso. Tholr names could not bo learned. These two deaths make nine in all as far ns known as n result of the firing of the guards , but there Is no doubt others on > cither dead or In n critical condition as the guards had orders to llro to kill andovi- ilostly did so. Hfports late tonight from all over tbo ro- plon ludlcnto n fearfully dangerous and cx- oiU'd condition of affairs , and word that the military was soon to bo on guird was ro- cehod by law-abiding labor oftlcinls nud roko operators alike with the liveliest evidence of satisfaction , At Leiscnrlin ; Constable Campbell at tempted to arrest John Lusbka , a Uusilnn , for complicity in the bomb throwing that oc- cured thoio Monday. Lushka fiercely re sisted nnd called for aid. A follow * country man who was on the outside of tboofllco n hero Lushka bad been trapped guvo the nlarui nnd In a few moments thorn was a howling mob of foreigners surrounding the place. Lushka leaped through the cilice window , currying with him a pair of hand- cans , bororul shots \\ero lirdl after him , But he osrapjod. Tonight n warrant was jilicert in the bunds ot Sheriff McCormlck nnd with n large posse of m n ho bus started for Loibcmrliig to make the nnvst , LiuhU.i nnd his companions were armed nnd a fight will certainly follow unless tlw man Is sur prised. Labor onieiuls deny that the men at Mox-o- wood were killed for good causes , and war rant1 , have boon Usued for the deputies on" xbo charge of murder , with General Manager Lyncn of the Frick com pany anil Superintendent Hnmsay of the Morewood plant charsed as screnorlci before the act. A lnr o cumber of deputies bave already boon arrested , and labor leader * say they will not jvsl until all are taken care of. Master Workman Wise was refused w.imitits by tivo different Jus tices of the poico , and after rounitlydonounc- in R them ho soL-ured warrants from .tustlca McCaleb. They will bo served on nil the guards conncc'cd with the affair. A striker iinmed Uunn. who wus among the lenders of the rioters , snld tonight that ho wus with a body of men on the bridge nnd stopped to light a cigar. Ho thinks the rutnorj about bombs hid nlurmod the guards and tbnt they took the lighting of the match as a jiortont ot something dangerous. Any way , ho snjs , they fired directly toward where ho stood and men fell nil ti round him. Another statement made1 tonight was that Captain l-ear said ho wus ordered to tire by IJeputv Sheriff McDonald. In fact , any num bers of conllictlng stories ate being told on both sides. At least 0.0 < K ) mon are In the vi cinity of Mount Pleasant tonight , and the feeling generated hy the appearance ol several companies of the Eighteenth and Tenth regi ments tonight Is ono of security , both among the strikers nud citizens. Tlio foniign clement - ment , however , is very uneasy nnd there is vev > pliilu talk hero among some ot their roproiontatlvo men tbat a higher power than the state will bo called In. They intimate plainly that tholr mother countries may have something to say ns to their treatment by the guards , whom , they bay , all belonged to tbe militia. H on the Move. PmsnuHO , Pa. , April 2. News of the riot at Morowood and the subicquent order from the governor calling out the Tenth and Eigh teenth regiments ctcated Intense excitement hero. The Klgtitcenth regiment started for the scene of the trouble nt Co' clock this coning - ing , accompanied by two companies of the Tenth. Mr. Frick , owner of the Morewood plant , nnd the largest coke operator in tbo country. snld this evening : "This Is not n question of wages , but only whether onr men uro to bo shot down at midnicnt nnd our property destroyed by rioters. The authori ties must settle this , ando will know which is to rule mobs or law. " As the men killed were all ummturalized foreigners , the possibility of International complications arising have been freely dis cussed. Austrian Consul Sbombcrg revolved a dispatch tbls afternoon from Parker , leader of thostriKers , Informing him that several of the men killed were subjeuts of Austria. lie replied that ho would investigate the matter , but declined to talk further. The Millim Ordered Otic. PiTTtinur.o , Pa. , April 2. The governorhas ordered the Tenth regiment to the aid of the sheriff of Westmoreland county in quelling the trouble in. tbo coke region. The Eigh teenth regimontof this city has been ordered to hold itself in readiness. Governor Paulson summoned his cabin t this moiuing to consider the situation in the western coke regions. Telegrams were re- cehed from Sheriff Claw'Jon nnd others of "Westmoreland county , telling of the riots and asking for aid from tbe militia nt once. The governor ordered the Tenth roclment to proceed at once to Mount Pleasant , and the Eighteenth regiment under arms to await further orders. JKXJOfXED.

KmiiNEr , Neb. , April 2.-rSpoeial [ Tele gram to THE HEE.I The bond injunction case , filed by Will Nash ana others several montbs ago against the city issuing $75,000 in bonds to the Kcarn&y & Black Hills railway company , voted February 14 , 1890 , and car ried by a big majority , began today before a court of equity. It is alleged that the road , as ills now operated , is not an independent line , for the reason that it has a binding trafllc agreement with the Union Pacific , and it is claimed by the plaintiffs that it was represented to the voters by the defendants before the bond election that it would bo an independent lino. This was ouo of the Issues of the bond campaign and it was clearly stated at tbo rallies held before the election that the line would bo in dependent but that a traftlo agreement would bo made with tbo Union Pacific affecting all freight not consigned over any other road. About fifty witnesses were examined today. It Is expected that the case will ilrag along until Saturday when the court will adjourn. Both sides will bo stubbornly contested and the finding by the court will bo awaited with considerable interest.

BELIEF THAT IT WILL COOL ITALY'S ' ARDOR No Jleply Yet Kccctvcd from the Charge ( I'AfTnliCJ lUlnlitcr l''avu \\lll Sail Cor Homo on Hiitiuday. , Apnl 2. fSpeclal Telegram to TUB Drs. J Without a single cxeoptiou all the comments hoard today upon Mr. Illamo's letter to the Marquise Imperlall have been highly coinplln-.cntary to the secretary of state. Oa all hands the attitude of Mr. Illalno is praised to the highest degree , and the democratic members of congress who nro hero at the present tlmo nro loudest In their protestations of commendation for bis course. Ono of these , who has been a hitter and rank partisan , said this afternoon : "Every Amer ican has reason to feel the greatest pride m the dignity and force shown by the adminis tration In this matter. Mr. Blalne is entitled to and will receive the cordial approval of every man who has the right to call himself an American. Ho has preserved the dignity of his country , ho has shown every disposition to h efalr and just to tbo people uno have been \vrongcd , and he has at the same time most emphatically refused to sanction any course which hints at the usurpation of the soverelpn powers of the states. " Thcro Is a general air of expectancy In onl- cial circles today , and every one connected with the government Is eagerly awaiting to hear what the Italian charge d'affaireslll reply to Mr. Hlalno's letter. It Is not ex pected that that reply will bo forthcoming for a day or two , as Imperall will probably await instructions from Premier Hudinl be fore taking any stens la the matter at all. By addressing his communication to Imperall as charge d' affaires Mr. Blalno will force Italy to show her band. If Imperall replies to tno letter It will show that Italy intends to bo still represented In Washington , On the other hand , a leply through Minister Porter will mean that the legation of Italy in Wash ington Is closed to all business. That the supposition is correct which said that the ao- ' tio'u of Italy was merely a cool bluff Is evi denced from the fact that Dr. Verdi , an Italian physician of this city , came direct from Fava's house and announced that the minister expects to bo sent back to Wash ington unless ho is given a more Important mission. Verdi is generally looked upon as a sort of deputy minister , nud although ho has resided in this country moio than thirty vears and has been naturalized , ho speaks like an Italian and seems to hold stronger al legiance to Humbert than to his oath as a cit- zen of this counti-y. Major Farquhar , ex-chairman of the ship ping committco of the house , takes a very de cided view of the Italian complications. Ho said that the hasty manner In which the Italian government had acted gave every reason for the belief that Italy proposed to stand up on Its hind legs and paw the atmos phere , "it Is now time for the United States government to tnno some sort of action which will impress tno Italian governmoot with the idea that wo mean business , too : For that reason I would suggest that the secretary of the navy should send nn urg ency letter" to every contractor at wboso yards American men-of-war nro being built. The letter should demand that the work on these vessels bo hurried to the highest possi ble limit and that any extra expense or damage - ago arising therefrom would be paid for by the United States government. This would give Italy the Idea that wo propose to stand by our actions , and I think would have a salutory effect upon both tbo Crispi and the Hudini factions. As far us actual war is concerned , that is almost nn absurdity. " Secretary lllaino this morning transacted routine business. There was. nothing new in tbo Italian situation. Fava has not yet made anpllcatlon for a passport , nor has the Marquis Imperlall acknowledged the receipt of Blaino's letter seat yesterday evening. Amonp the callers on the secretary were the Dritish minister and SirChuiles Tupper of Cauada , who talked with the secretary for an hour , presumably about the seal fisheries , reciprocity and ottier matters now foremost in the minds of Canadians. Thcro is considerable public Indignation expressed at tbe attitude taken in the matter by ltalinn-Amerlc.ins who have long been citizens of the United States and nro now taking sides with the Italian government and demanding satisfaction. There is n feel ing that If these men nro American citizens nud have taken the oath of allegiance to the United States they are no longer subjects of Italy , whoso duty It is to take up arms in her defense. The apparent Inability of tbo United fatates to actually extend to foreigners the protec tion which is guaranteed in the treaties in case an outrage is committed for which a suite is responsible has led to considerable talk in diplomatic circles. It was suggested tbat congress might have to change the method of negotiating treaties , but when this view was presented to cx-IJcpresontatlvo Grosvenor ho very promptly replied that no change was necessity * , "f ho United States , " ho said , "can always be trusted to do what is honest and right. Wo need not go to the extent - tent of rovlsiusr all our methods for the sake of pleasing countries which annually send largo numbers of their people to our shores. " General Groivenor added that if the govern ment had any right to interfere in n matter like the Italian tragedy then it had an equal right to intcrfcro In every cnso where tno murder of a negro for political reasons oc curs in the south during a federal election. "Tho Italian government , " said ho , ' 'must surely realize that If the national government cannot protect the lives of Its own citizens or intcrfcro to punish their murderers it cannot do so for foielgners. " Marquis lmi > eriall was seen late this even ing , but was not prepared to make any state ment as to the latest phase of the Italian affair. Ho has not yet transmitted Marquis dl Hudini's latest message to Secretary Blalne , but expects to do so In u short time. It was said tonight that the message of Marquis dl Kudinl. ( the substance of wuicti was given in an Associated press dispatch from Homo ) clears tbe situation to some extent - tent and o [ > ons the way for tbo establishment of tbo former amicable relations between tbo two governments , and that Italy does not intend to carry the matter to the last ex tremity. The tonoof the message would In dicate that the representations of the attitude of the United States made in Secretary Blaino's letter to tbo Marquis luiperlnll ana thu explanations of the status of tbo affair which , It Is presumed , Minister Porter made to the Italian foreicu ofllco have been well received by the Italian ministry and that Italy was disposed to await the regular and orderly prstcduro of the Judicial institutions in this country , The Post will say tomorrow * "It is hold by quite a number of international lawyers that the right of the federal government to negotiate treaties carries with it the power to carry out treaty stipulations , oven if by so doing it appears to override state authority , Congress , when It convenes , will probably enact n law to designate bow tbe federal government shall act in a dlftlculty like the present. " Minister I'orlcr'g I'enco Policy. ROME , April 2. It Is learned from reliable f turces that United Slates Minister Porter has done much to pacify the Italian govern ment ; that ho has unn over other ministers , eeveral of whom bad been trying to induce the Italian premier , Marquis dl Uudhil , to bo less hn-sty , Tbo Idea ofar is scouted hero in diplomatic and Bovorntn''nt circles. Even Fava'H tlnol with- ur \ \ al hu not been definitely decided upon. It U bala that even if Fava U withdrawn it vlU be douo only as tbo most forcible protest known la diplomacy , not as tbo forerunner of a conflict between the United States and Italy. Italian cabinet mlnlst irs are m receipt of n largo number of cablegi m nnd letters from prominent Italians In Now York , urging moderation , Marquis ill Hudinl , .Italian premier , sent another cuulo mes go 10 Secretary Illalno todav on the subject i > * the Now Orleans trouble. The message replies to Ulaino's last note. In It Huulnl says Italy has nskwt nothing but the prompt institution of regular judicial nrocoadlnya against the guilty parties at Ne\r I rlcan 3. Ho ndHs that it would have be'M absurd to claim punishment for the offenders \\lthout the guarantees rxltordud by a reg ular trial. The tl.plomiulo incident , ho continues , can oily bo considered rlosod when the federa' government has de clared in precise terms that prosecutions will bo commenced. In the meantime the Italian govonui.out takes cogb'tanco of the fcder.it government's declaration acknowledging the fact that compousation i ; duo to the families of the victims by vlrtu of tbo treaty exist ing between the two countries.

The Telegraph says : "It could scarcely appe..r practical to Italy to be told' that it was uncertain whether the murdered inou were Italians whilst they were lynched and the lynching palliated on the ground that they 'vero members of nn Italian secret society. The contrast between tbo snvago precipitancy of the slayers , tbo complacency of the niuplcipal authorities of New Orleans and the deliberate skepticism of Blaine might well have moved , a less high-spirited nation than Italy to reso lute measures. Wo "are " deeply grieved to declaio that the opinion of the civil- i/cd world ranges itself against , America. Ills scarcely wise for ' "American papers to bluster. The Italian nttvy is in a condition of highest odlclcnoy.

" It wns a mere flash in the pan , which would cnd-Jn nothing. Signer Bonnclna added : "Thbro Is not much sym pathy amonR the Italians In London with the men who were Ivnohod in I"ew Orleans. The Italians hero are of. the opinion that tboro is no doubt the men chargca with the murder of Chief Henncssy were guilty. Still they s > ay that If tbo lynebcrs po unpunished re spectable Italians in the United Status are not safe. " The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon soys the incident will not add to the reputation of the United State * . It has1 revealed a vrcak place In tbo American constitution , with nil its pretensions. Mr. Blalno would bo glad cnouch , perhaps , to depose King "Lynch , but Louisiana Is of a different , opinion. Foreign elements in the United States glvo them some security as well'aa involving them in some danger.
