OF THE VICTIMS. The Dead Coke-Strikera Interred at Scottdale Yesterday No PUturbance. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Scottdalk. Pa., 'April .4. Two more men died, to-day, from inj arias received at More wood Thursday morntnj:. They are Paul Salinsky, of Donnelly, and Joseph Klasman, of Mull ins. The report of their death sent a thrill of excitement through the region, and gave rise to rumors of bloodshed and violence. There were reports to-night from all points of the region announcing gatherings of strikers, but no violence has been re ported up to 9 o'clock. Thi9 afternoon the Standard Band, of Mount Pleasant, led the procession from the Catholio Church in Mount Pleasant to the Pennsylvania railroad station, escorting tho bodies of the Morewood victims. There were five coaches in the-train, and all were filled with friends and sympathizers of the dead. They arrived at Scottdale at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon, and were met by the Everson band, Jeflerson Assembly, No. 245, K. of JL, and about 5,000 people. Rev. Father Lambing had sent a request to all of the licensed saloon-keepers to close their bars at 2:80 o'clock, and in response to his request every saloon in town was closed when the strikers began to assemble to greet the funeral train. It had been snowing heavily since noon, and for three hours and a half the denselypacked crowds stood around the depot patiently waiting for the arrival of the funeral train. Ninety out of every one hundred were foreigners, and were unable to speak the English language, while at least one-half of them woro emblems of mourning to denote their sorrow over the death of their fellow-workers at the hands f the deputy sheriffs. They were very quiet. Scarcely a word was spoken, and when they did address each other It was in subdued and awe-stricken voices. It was a scenenever to be forgotten. The falling snow, the depot, the muddy streets filled with men pregnant with subdued excitement, while one hundred yards away up the track towards Mount Pleasant were five companies of the Eighteenth Keeiment, under CoL N. M. Smith. They had pulled into Scottdalo early this morning and were given orders to e?pf,v'jss all disturbances and preserve the peace at any cost The whole formed a picture of the most intense interest. ' THE MARCH TO THE CEMETERY. The bodies were taken oft the train at the depot and placed in the large road-wagons. The funeral cortege did not move until the regular train arrived at 8:87. The large publio square was not spacious enongh to hold the great crowds of people, and the delegations that arrived on regular trains had to form on Pittsburg street and Broad way. The foreign element did not take kindly to the road-wagons being used as hearses to bear the remains of their conn trymen to their last resting place, and the coffins were taken out and six of them were carried to the cemetery, a distance ok .one miie. jlqo seventn was placed in a hearse. The procession moved at 4 o'clock, headed by the Standard Miners' Cornet and Scottdale .bands. Loth of which played the dead-march the entire distance. There were fullv 8.000 neonle at the depot, but scarcely half this number (rent to the cemetery, inu a large majority of those that did follow the remains were Poles. Slavs and Hungarians. American Hags were conspicuous, and a number of the delegations carried banners. Tho workmen nearly all wore badges and crape. and when the coffins were lowered into the large trench, which was twelve feet long and seven leet wiae, a number of the workmen threw their badges and crape on the coffins. Father Lambing and Father Schmeigle conducted the funeral services according to the rites of tho Catholio Church, which were simple but impressive. liev. Schmeigle delivered an address in the PoliBh language, in which he coun seled his countrymen to return peaceably to their homes, to commit no breach of law and to abstain from intoxicants and shun saloons. Kev. Lambing made a brief address in .bnglish to the same euect. Though the town wag overcrowded with all classes and conditions of people there was not the least disturbance, and every thing passed off in a manner creditable to the workmen. The funeral procession formed about fifty yards from where tho five companies of the Eighteenth Reiriment are quartered, and marched past the Frick Coke Company's office. The foreigners flocked around the militia, talked to them in broken English and were evidently much interested. The anmranMi n th soldiers no doubt had a quieting effect on mom. MEETINGS AETER TIIE FUNERAL. After the funeral the vast crowd assem bled on the Everson flats and Porter Wiso. district master workman of the Knights of Labor, called the meeting to order. Robert Watchorn, ex-secretary of the United Mineworkers, was the first to address the crowd. He advised peace, and said that the law was the only course for the strikers, as well as for the operators. He deplored the tragedy at Morewond Thursday morning, and said that the people who were so irresponsible as the depu ties proved to be were not fit to go to neaven. ina oioer speakers were Patrick Mcliride, of the executive committer; Vice-president Penna, of the United Mine - workers, the president, secretary and treasurer, and several others. I hey all oaincided with Kobert Watchorn in their expressions of peace. Meetinas were also held to-dav at Over. ton and Stf.uffer, which were addressed by well-known local leaders. Notwithstanding the ffti-fc that all of the leaders counsel peace it is Generally believed to night that there will be trouble in the region within the next two or three days. Kobert Watchorn addressed a meeting in the Young Men's Christian Association to-night. Mr. Watchorn was very indignant over the reports in the Pittsburg papers of an interview with H. C. Frick, in which the lattnr condemned the labor lAadpTR with being responcible for the present troubles in the region. Mr. Watchorn says that he will have affidavits by Monday to show that H. C. Frick paid for the passage of workmen from Europe to America, and that many of these men were forced to go down into the mines at the muzzles of rifles and revolvers, where they were compelled to stay until snch time as Mr. Frick aw tit to liberate them. A sensation was cansed here to-day when four men, heavily matked and armed, entered the electriclight plant and asked one cX the men on duty if that was the office of

H. C. Frick & Co. When he replied in the negative th uientstated that they intended to burn Frick's . office. They passed the electric plant, disappearing down the road, and have not since been seen. It is believed that a great deal of Frick's property will be destroyed before Tuesday, and as the men have been urged by their leaders to hold out, it is not believed that the strike will be settled during the next two weeks at least. GRAVE FEARS FOR THE FUTURE. Trouble May Ensae When the Soldiers Are Withdrawn Scenes at the Morgue, Mount Pleasant, Pa., April 4. The situation in the coke regions has not ma terially changed within the last twentyfour hours. The troops have charge of the coke companies' property, and the feeling prevails that as long as the militia remains there will be no more lawlessness.

The soldiers cannot stay always, however. and it is feared that unless the strike is settled before they are called home the depredations will be renewed just as soon as their backs are turned. The feeling among the strikers is intensely bitter, but they are careful to commit no overt act, and content themselves with scowling at the militia and muttering in unintelligible tongues. Yesterday and this morning thousands of people viewed the bodies of the men who were shot at Morewood. They lay in the the carriage-house of Zimmerman's undertaking establishment They were stretched out, side by side, on along platform, around which tne crowd surged in its eagerness to get a glimpse of the dead men. Each of the dead men was dressed in a robe of brown material, with a white collar, neck tie and shirt-front showing under the chin. They are all young men. With tho excep tion of Binero and Hist, all of the dead wore ghastly grins, that seemed to awe the spectators. Their natural yellow com plexions did not seem to fall away with the ebb of their life-blood, and, as they lay upon the slab, it was hard to realize that they were the viotims of the awful tragedy at Morewood. The faces of the dead were cleanly shaven, and on the breast of each was placed a symbol of the Roman Catholic Church, while around the wrists of a few were entwined the beads upon which they had been accustomed to repeat their prayers. r rom D o clock yesterday morning until 10 to-day an unbroken line of foreigners, about one in ten of whom could speak English, hied past the bier upon which the dead lay. Sobs and groans were heard ou every side. It is well known among thecitizeus that the lives of Captain Loar and his deputies will be in jeopardy should the militia be withdrawn. The foreigners are excited to a degree bordering on frenzy, and although they are keeping all demonstrations within the pale of the law, there is no doubt that they are determined to wreak veng eance eventually on the people who are re sponsible for the death of thir country men. WOMEN THE MOST DANGEROUS. The scene in the morgue was one that is not often witnessed. Of the thousands who viewed tho remains scarcely a man came in whose countenance was not drawn and scowling as he gazed on the work of the rifles, and hundreds of women vented their anger and anguish in terms that could not bo mistaken. They were miners, cokers and their wives. The latter are more revengeful, if anything, than their liege lords and are considered more dangerous antagonists. The physical characteristics of all were short, stout statures, square faces, firm laws, small eyes, heavy fore heads, high cheek-bones and forbidding countenances. - Private Kellar. of Company U. Eigh teenth Kegiment, who speaks seven lan guages, was directed dv (ieneral Wiley to mingle with the strikers, and. if possible. learn what their intentions were for the future. In addition to his report of yesterday, he says: "I picked up one of their papers to-day and in one portion of it I found an article which stated that there was not a regular among the soldiers now in the coke regions, and that they ueod not be afraid of the militiamen, who were novices and did not know any more about warfare than the strikers themselves. They also know all the members of the local company of the Tenth Kegiment, and 1 heard them ridiculing it As far as I have discovered there is ;;oing to be trouble, and it will come within the next two days. All of theso Hungarians have money aud they are in a dangerous mood over the killing of the men at Morewood, which they all claim was entirely unjustifiable." Kellar's warning has been heard and heeded. When daylight fell upon the faces of the benighted thousands who inhabit this region the sentinels of the State had men posted at every point where an outbreak was feared. The troops are supplied with ball cartridges, and the officers in command of the various guards have strict orders to fire, if need be, on any mob which shall attempt to molest them or any of the property which tbey are guarding. Notwithstanding these precautions, it is conceded, that some unprotected snot may havo been left where the mob will wreak ven;eance for the aflair of Thursday morning, ve anient soldiers and civilians unite in the belief that as soon as the militia is withdrawn the trouble will break out, and. if nossible. more violently than before, unless the coke operators and the strikers eflect a settlement in the meantime. It is very quiet here to-day. The streets are deserted, most of the Hungarians having quietly departed for Scottdale during the night. The hills surrounding are covered with snow, and not a soul is to be seen, with the exception of the sentinels, who pace to aud fro. The coke company is not making any effort here, at present, to get men to fill the places of strikers as yet. They have enough men to run the engines and boilers and keep the mines in good condition. PREPARED FOR A LONG STRUGGLE. One peculiar feature of the vhole situation is that the men have been out of work for over a month, and they still seem to have considerable money, and from outward appearances are not suffering for food. All seem to be keeping sober. In fact, not one of them has been seen on the street in an intoxicated condition. From the bankers it is learned that the foreign element, which constitutes 75 or 80 pef cent, of tie workers of the region now striking, has more or less funds. In the Mount Pleasant Bank there is a large list of depositors whoso savings range from G0 to $3,000. Of this money very little has been withdrawn. How theso people live without drawing money is difficult for Americans to understand, yet such are the facts. To those who have no money and they appear to be in the minority the labor organizations are furnishing from $2 to 82.50 per week. It seems, therefore, that the claims of the labor leaders that the strike can be continued for several months is not far wrong. There Is, no longer any doubt that the strike will be continued indefinitely, and with a bitterness never before experienced in a strike, it is not beyond probability that if the strikers find they are debarred from reaching non-union men at the coke-works, secret methods of making them stop work will be adopted, come of the men at worn have been heard to express such fears. An intelligent Hungarian, in speaking of their future action, said: "We will not nold any meeting until to-morrow afternoon, and then we will decide on what to do. Thero is only one thing certain, and that is that the company cannot get any foreigners to come here to take our places.' as we have notified all the Italians' and Huns in the country of the trouble." The trouble which was nxpe:ted after the return of the miners failed t materialize. No trouble is thought likely to-night. Telegrams Received by the Governor. Harri8Buro, Pa., April 4. Governor Pattison was asked this evening concerning the rumor current In Philadelphia that the First Regiment had been)ordered to the coke region. He said: "All is quiet at the scene of tho trouble, and no addlUonal

Pattison is in receipt of the following telegrams from the coke region to-night: Mt. Pleasant, April 1, 8:3? P. a. Have Just returned from Scottdale. THa funeral passed off quietly.

Mr. Frlck Charges Labor Leaders with Making Tools or the Foreigners. Pittsburg, April 4. H. C. Frick made a statement to-day in reply to an interview published with ex-Secretary Watchorn, of the miners' organization, in which the latter charged Mr. Frick with having imported thousands of foreigners, promising them a sort of Utopia. Mr. Frick says: "I sm ready and willing to state that neither myself nor our company nor any one on its behalf, directly or indirectly, assisted, procured or requested any man to eml-. grate to this country, and if Mr. Watchorn or any of his associates challenge this statement in any particular, we aro propared for the fullest examination. Although the violence committed in the vicinity of our works has been mainly by foreigners the public knows that these people are simply the tools working out tho plans of others. The plan now adopted of using these men to accomplish their works of violence is but a repetition of former acts. In every strike in the coke region these are the men who have been used and found to be pliant tools whenever violence is to be done. The publio should not allow itself to be blinded to the real authors of the present trouble. The controversy is now not one between our company and its employes, but is between the lawful au

thority or our commonweaitn ana a moo oi irresponsible men in the hands of cunuiug demagogues. This breach of the peace and violation ot the law of our land is not the result of a sudden gush of uncontrollable passion, but is the result of a deep-laid scheme and well-planned attempt to override the authority of our State. 'Not the foreigners who are advised that their living depends upon their resort to violence are to blame for this, but tboso who gave that advice aro culpable. Ihey have called meetiugs of, these foreigners aud have incited them' by incendiary nAnhAR waII IrnnTrinir that when excited ther will resort to violence, and then try to exonerate themselves cy saying mai inis foreign element has gotten beyond their control. It needs no argument to show that this violation is the result of such acts, ami th rmhlin rtrpfin And the lawfnl au thority of oar State should tlx on them the responsibility, rather than upon the deluaea xoreigners." TTlll Resume on Blonday. Uxioxtowx, Pa., April 4. It is rumored that an effort will be made to resume at the Leith and Redstone works of the Frick Coke Company on Monday morning. A written notice served on Sheriff McCormick to-day by the Frick and the McClure Coke companies gives color to the belief that a general resumption will be attempted at once. The Frick company notified the sheriff that they would look to him for protection at all their works. Superintendent Brannan served a similar notice for the McClure company. Sheriff McCormick said to-night that he would be obliged to press a large number of deputies into service. All his deputies at present, with the exception of a few at Fairchance, are concentrated at the Jimtown and Adelaide work. To-day Judge Ewing granted a postpone ment to the injunction cases of II. C. Frick & Co. aeainst Master Workman Wise. Vice 'president Penna and others, owing to their attending the funerals. Protests of Anarch! its. Jersey City, N. J., April 4. A meeting of Anarchists was held to-night to protest against the interference of the military in the coke strike. The resolutions denounc ing what they termed the proposed judicial murdor of laborers in the coke region were adopted. NEWFOUNDLANDERS STILL ANGKY. Salisbury & Co. Roundly Denounced by the Newspapers The Shore Troubles. Halifax, N. S., April 4. The Newfound land papers received here are filled with the most violent articles in dennnoiation of the British government in its treatment of the colony in relation to the French fishery rights. The Herald says: A crisis of the most momentous importance has arisen in connection with the French shore question that peremptorily demands immediate ac tion by the Legislature and the people of this colony. The success of such a plot we should by all means oppose. Once permit , the proposed bill to become a law and the French shore question will be settled to our disadvantage for generations to come. If Newfoundland is ever to be one and indivisible, politically as well as materially, this new coercion measure of ball a bury & Co. must be defeated. The mission of the delegates is officially announced to be (1) to procure the abandon ment, postponement or amendment of the coercion law now be lore the imperial Parliament: (2) to secure compensation for set tlers of the west coast for losses sustained under any law that may bo enacted or agreement reached: (3) now that the lobster question has been submitted to arbitration against our protest, to procure submission to arbitration of questions which we be lieve likely to result favorably to us. or to endeavor to prevent partial arbitration now hanging over us, and, if that, cannot be done, then to guard against tho evil conse quences from it as may be best done unfler these circumstances. The peoplo of the west coast regard it as a useless expense to the colony to send an other delegation to England, seeing that such a delegation could not accomnlisn anything practicable. Some time aso Mgr. Hawley, Prefect Apostolio of the French shore, suggested to Lord Knutsiord a solution of the problem by separating the west coast iroutne government of the rtst of the island and the creation of the west coast into a separate government, and Lord Knutsford has sent Mgr. Hawley a dispatch acknowltdging the valueof the suggestion. 13 CANADA PREPARING FOR WAR? Her Militia to Be Doubled and the Atlantic Coast Defenses Strengthened. Ottawa, Ont, April 4. Two important announcements confirm the previous state ment that General Herbert, the new com mander-in-chief of the Canadian militia, brought instructions from the English War OfHce to speedily strengthen the defenses of Canada and prepare for a necessity of putting a large force in the Held. Fiint is his request to the government, which has tho force of command, to double tue usual appropriation this year for drill, so that the entire force of 45,000 men can be thoroughly drilled in June. Never before has tbe number of men drilled exceeded '0,000 men. Secondly, General Herbert left to-day for Halifax to confer with Sir John Kou, commander of imperial troops in Canada, with respect to the defences of tbe Atlauticruast. particularly at Halifax, where a new fort has been constructed. One thirty-two-tou gun has recently arrived at Halifax from England, and three others are about to bo shipped. These are the largest guns on this side of tho Atlantic. Embezzled 070,000. Savannah.

MXRE THEY OTJTIwWVS AT nOJID? A Question That May Coneldered Refers Reparation Is Blade to Italy, re!l to tLe Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 4. The reply of Mar quis Di Rndini to Secretary Blalno's noto has not yet been made publio, and it is doubtful if It will be given out to-night. In fact, it may not be made publio at all, except in so faras its text may be incorporated in Secretary Blaine's response. If this government considers the question of indemnity, it Is said that inquiry will bo made as to the standing in Italy ot the alleged Italian subjects; whether or not they were compelled to leave Itaiy for crimes committed or attempted. In tho cases of several of tbe men killed tho charge 6eems to be well supported that they were outlawed in their native country. In that event compensation or reparation would hardly be demanded, or allowed. It isnow aUo intimated tbatlbe recall of Baron Fava is virtually nothing more than a leave of absence. Baron Fava. thongh somewhat better todav, is still quite weak and confined to his room. He had intended to sail from Kew York to-day. but it is impossible to tell now how Ions no will be detained in Washington. The outcome of tho action of the Italian covernment will be felt in Conpress for some timo to come. Until recent! v there has been serious trouble in tho minds of several members of President Hariison'a Cabinet as to the advisability of recommending any leg islation to Congress looking to the suppression of immigration, bnt the Maha affair' and tho international complication which has crown out of it has bad a decided effect, and, as a result, it can be positively stated that Mr. Blaine is very earnest in his opinion, which in that stringent laws are necessary to keep out the offscourings of Europe. President Harrison and. every one of his advisers is still in favor of opening the doors to every desirable foreigner who desires to come to America for the purpose of bettering conditions, provided that he is willing to abide by tbe Constitution and laws of this country, but the Matia, the cut-throat and the Anarchists aro not desired, and Congress will, at its next session, be asked to enact such legislation as will keep this ele- . ment out. The Italian government will probably re ceive Mr. Blaine's reply to Kndini's latest effusion ou Monday, and it is safe to predict that that will be the last of the affair until such time as the State Department shall have bad an opportunity to report upon the New Orleans outrages. From present indications Italy will not be anxious. when that report is made, to claim much for the men who were killed. -w Tho controversy is not viewed with tbe same complacency in some parts of tho country as in the larger cities. The present peaceful aspect of tho matter does not seem to hare assured people in some parts of the country that serious trouble will not ensue, for Ueneral urant has recolved telegrams from numbers of persons, principalpally in Alabama, Missouri, Montana and South Dakota, tendering their services to the government to right against Italy. Tho telegrams will not be answered. RUDLYI BACKS DOWN. lie lias No Intention of Ha thing Ills De mands Against the United States. New Youe( April 4. A cable dispatch from Rome to the Mail and Express cnotes tho Marquis Di Rudinl as saying that he had no intention of pushing any demands and was content with having taken ono positive step as a protest against what he was led to believe at tho time was a neglect on the part of the United States government to protect the lives of Italian citizens in America under the provisions of treaty. Ho expressed himself as aware that to do anything more at this juncture would be a'grave error on his pf.rt, as he has perfect confidence in tbe sincerity and ustice of the United States government, inallv he said: "I shall now simply wait for further details of the New Orleans af fair, of the characters of the slain men, of the action by tbe Louisiana authorities and of the intentions of tbo United States government; but whatever these may be, I am quite sure that a settlement, thorougbly batisfactory to both psrties, will bo found, and that the friendship which binds the two nations will remain unalterable and secure," The Teople and the Cabinet Differ, f Copyrigbt, 1S31. hj the United Presa. London, April 4.A8 cabled three days ago, the American dlQculty with Italy Is viewed differently by the government and by the people. Popular sentiment is decidedly hostilo to tho United States, wnile tho Cabinet is anxions to get out oi tho matter as quietly as possible without giv ing a hand to its political adversaries. King Humbert and the Premier are said to be both convinced that there was no raco question In the New Orleans tragedy, and witbout a race question the affair losrs interest for Italy. Nevertheless they feel tbo necessity of gratifying the populance with noma show of resentment. It may be of interest to state in this connection that brigandage still flourishes in Sicily to a degree that makes thn interior unsafe for travelers, and that ithasnot been entirely extinguished on the Neopolitan mainland. It is remembered that a few mouths ago a rich proprietor who was captured by brigands and held for n ransom, onend a large reward to tbe brigand wno was left alono in charge of him one day to let him go. onVringaUo to take the brigand with him and secure immunity. The guard answered that he would be followed und killed. "But jou might go tf America," said tho captive. "They would follow and kill me there too," was tho reply. HE IS A LOYAL A3IERICAN.
