KIOT AT M'KEESPORT

National Tube Works in Possession of an Angry Mob. Strikers Search the Buildings for Dcfeuseless Xoaunionists and Beat Them Unmercifully, MEN HUNTED LIKE EATS And Clubbed and Kicked Into Insensibility When Caught. City Authorities Powerless in the Face of Thousands of Maddened Rioters Thirty-live Badly Hurt. M'KEESPORT, Pa., June 5. Never has thl3 city witnessed such scenes of defiance of law and the inability of the authorities to cope with the lawbreakers to the extent of repressing lawlessness as have been emcted here to-day and are In progress to-night. At this hour the strikers are practically in command of the situation. The trouble grows out of the strike at the tube works, and the strikers have, since nightfall, outwitted the police, broken into the mill yard3, and are making systematic tours of the works and their surroundings. The plant resumed in two departments today and about twenty-five men went to work. The news quickly spread, and by noon a' mob of nearly ten thousand had assembled about the gates, awaiting the appearance of the workmen. Most of the men remained Inside, but a few attempted to go to their homes and were caught by the mob and terribly beaten. They were finally rescued, however, by the police and taken back Into the inclosure. The ' mob then dispersed in part, but towards evening reassembled, and by 6 o'clock probably five thousand men were massed in front of the entrance on Fourth, avenue, and it was said that fully three-fourths of the number were foreigners. They were disappointed. At 6 o'clock the day turn did not come out and the night turn did not go in. There was a great load of provisions taken into the mill by the company, and a lone Slav workman came out of the back way and tried to escape. He was seen, and a section of the surging mob broke off the main body and fell upon his trail, with yells that must have given him speed, ' if it was in him. The race covered several squares before he turned at bay. He was unable to run any further, and as he fully expected to be killed, he drew a knife and faced the yelling pursuers, evidently determined to die' fighting. The foremost pursuer paused a moment, but the rush came up behind them, and a dozen men with clubs sprang . upon the panting fugitive. He was down h an instant, but officer Singer was close on the heels of the leaders of the race, and' he Jumped Into the middle of the melee, with the fearful odds against him, without a moment's hesitation. The officer and the fugitive were badly beaten, but help came and they were rescued. At the mills the rioters surged around the entrances until 7 o'clock this evening, when a rush was made and they broke Into the yards. The men were panic-stricken, and Jt was the rule of, every man for himself. The Voters swarmed into the in- , closure looking for hated nonunlonlsts. Hundreds of them were . equipped with .clubs or weapons of some description. Then began a wild chase and pursuit of the hunted workmen inside. Several welders took to the river and made their es pe to Mifflin township, pursued by crt ds of strikers, and were 'finally chased off into the darkness towards Duquesne. The strikers were in complete possession of the place. They ranged over the grounds and finally routed - ten hidden workmen. The poor fellows made a dash for freedom, but were cut off and surrounded, and the mob set upon them in swarms and beat them shockingly. In the crush to get at' the prostrate men one fellow was badly ; stabbed. It was the Homestead fight over again, with variations. One man was found during the evening still in hiding in the mill yard, which the strikers were patrolling, in complete mas.tery of the works. The man made a dash for the street, and got inside the yards. He was pushed close by the pursuit and, In desperation, sprang Into an electric car passing on the street. The strikers surrounded the car and the motorman tried to ; force it through the crowd. The trolley . pole was pulled down and the car stalled. Then the fugitive was dragged off the car and beaten and kicked into insensibility. Another stowaway was found, his clothing stripped off, and he was kicked and beaten until he was unconscious. Then the assailants left Jiim for a time and he managed to crawl Into a store on Fifth avenue. He was unable to help hlmeslf, and is still there, where he sought refuge. So far as the authorities are able to learn nobody has been Killed . outright but some of the victims of the mob's fury will probably die. Up to this hour the strikers have refrained from destroying the machinery in the mills. As midnight approached the crowd decreased and . comparative quiet now reigns. All the law-abiding people are Indoors with the exception of the curious few who are willing to take the risks of watching the mob's work. For the rest, the strikers are virtually in possession of the town. Thirty-Five Injured. M'KEESPORT, Pa.. June 6,1a. m. The situation at this hour is quiet but critical. In obedience to the Mayor's proclamation the strikers have dispersed. They are. only under cover, however, and have every avenue of approach to ,the city under surveillance, as they are sure that new men for the tube works and additional officers will come in during the night. Pickets have been posted east and west and men are . being strung along the river to give the alarm, as was done at Homestead. The tube works company officials are not dismayed at the work of their old workmen, and have posted notices that all employes who desire to return must do so before Thursday. At least thirty-five men were Injured in the riot to-night, two of whom, the physicians say, will die. 3 a. m. A bulletin from Draddock says: 'Forty-three, eastern deputies are in Braddock and more are coming. They will be In McKeesport before daybreak, and will come in by the Baltimore & Ohio, or may march in." Will Not Send Troop. 1IARRI3DURG, Ta., June 5. Adjutantgeneral Greenland returned to Harrisburg at midnight. He says troops will not ba called out to suppress rioting at McKeesport until the Governor is notified by Sheriff Richards, of Allegheny county, that he had exhausted his power. He is confident that the sheriff will be able to restore peace without the aid of the military. Obltnnry. SAX JOSE. Cal.. June 5. G. V.

Candidate All nt Kokomo Engaged In an Active Canrniii for Votes Hart and AVansh Possibilities. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., June 5. The delegations to the' Ninth congressional convention began pouring in early to-day, and during the day all candidates, accompanied by large and influential corps of lieutenzints, came in. The first to arrive was the advance guard of Tippecanoe, In charge of the Will R. Wood boom. Among his supporters were County Attorney J. B. Mllner, Hon. George P. Haywood, T. W. Burt and Ed And r ess. Next came Senator J. Frank Hanly, of Warren, with a number of astute politicians working in his behalf. Boyd, of Hamilton, and Cheadle, of Cllivton, arrived later in the day. Interest has developed to a high pitch, and the outcome can only be intelligently guessed at. The' chief point of interest is the sudden and startling climax in Clinton county, where Captain Hart had made a fair and honorable race for the prize and was defeated by ex-Congressman Chetwdle, who came out as an eleventh-hour candidate. The magnanimity of Mr. Hart in gracefully and cheerfully announcing his withdrawal in the interest of party harmony and requesting his delegates over the district to vote for his successful competitor has won him many new friends, and his supporters throughout the district, outside of Clinton county, may refuse . to accept his withdrawal as final. It is a generally accepted fact that Mr. Hart would have been the strongest man before the convention, a condition his competitors readily admit, since he has declared himself out. It is by no means improbable that the Hart men will take the bit in their teeth and boom their favorite through, notwithstanding the action of Clinton county. The Wood men have brought their confidence along, and they feel sure the Tippecanoe candidate will carry off the prize. They strenuously deny the report of serious defection in the Battle Ground territory, and are claiming eighty votes on the first ballot, but they maintain that he is standing at the big end of the funnel and that his Strength will wane rather than increase to the required 119 votes. Hanly's friends are modest in their claims, and will be satisfied with fifty votes at the start. Mr. Hanly is on i very friendly terms with all the delegates, having antagonized none of his opponents. This, it is asserted, will be a source of great strength at a later stage in the game. Boyd and Cheadle claim about fifty votes each at the start, and both express themselves as satisfied with their chances. The delegates met in the opera house this evening and named committees on permanent organization, credentials and resolutions. The convention proper will assemble at the driving park amphitheater at 10:30 o'clock to-morrow morning. The Wood men are the most numerous and the most demonstrative here to-night. They all wear badges, consisting of a small bit of willow wood, fastened in the buttonhole with white ribbons. This means "Wilier Wood" (Will R. Wood.) A chip is also worn on the shoulders of some of the delegates. Mr. Wood's friends are very confident this evening. They refuse to talk second choice, but it is known that in the event of a break-up the bulk of Tippecanoe's votes will go to Hart. If he be brought forward. Captain Hart came over this morning, and is working -hard and earnestly tor Cheadle, and if the latter should fail of the nomination it will not be -because he was not unitedly and faithfully supported by his county. .The report from Washington that Congressman Waugh had left for the convention is a mistake. Mr. Waugh is not here and will not be here. There is a strong undercurrent in favor of the renominatlon of Mr. Waugh, though the Woods men, who will probably control the nomination, prefer Hart should their own favorite fail. Mr. Cheadle, who is in the habit of saying little and getting in his work on the day of the convention, has a stronger following than his competitors are wlllinir to admit, though his drawing powers are not regarded as sufficiently strong to bring him in reach of victory. Mr. Boyd, who claims the distinction of being the only candidate in the field with the unanimous support of his own county, will start out With about sixty votes. Hanly has the full vote of his own county, and from thirty-five to forty from other counties, and Wood will have forty-six of Tippecanoe's forty-nine votes. Howard county will have some votes for all the candidates. Wood's eighty to ninety votes will stay with him for a long and bitter struggle, and the outcome, is a puzzle. It is not thouht probable that Wood can find thirty or forty missing' votes, and his friends are apprehensive that hi3 first ballot will be high-water mark for him. The work of the committee on credentials will be a mere formality, as there are no contesting delegates. Ex-Senator "b-?rt Graham, of Noblesvllle, will probably be chairman of the convention. Col. J. C. Clark, of -Clinton county, will make the nominating speech for Cheadle. and Boyd will be presented by Joel Stafford, of Noblesvllle. County Attorney C. V. Mc Adams, of Willlamsport, will do the handsome thing for Hanly,, and Col. R. P. De Hart, of Iafayette, will present the name of Wood. John T. Brown will also speak for Wood. Georgetown Republicans Nominate. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GEORGETOWN. Ind.. June 5. The Republicans of Jackson township! this (Brown) county, held a most enthusiastic convention to-day and nominated the township ticket. There was the warmest contest for trustee and assessor, and Z.

There is perfect harmony, and not the slightest doubt but both men will be elected in November. Tiro New Candidates. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR, Ind., June 5. It is announced here that the name of two new men will be presented to the Republican Third district convention at New Albany Thursday for the congressional nomination. The men are Judpe William K.'

WILL WORRY HOLJIAN

The "Watch Dog's" Enemies Preparing to Show Their Teeth. His Indian Appropriation Bill, Which Has Secured Right of Way Over Cooper's Measure, to Be Attacked NO SHOW FOR STATE BANKS Big Claim Against the Late Senator Stanford's Estate-Attorney-General Olney Demands S13,000,000 in Behalf of the United States Trouble in Samoa. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, June 5. Mr. Holman has succeeded In at last obtaining right of way for the Indian appropriation bill. After promising Mr.' Cooper that he would make no objection to permitting the bill to repeal the present exemption from taxation of greenbacks to be acted on before the Indian appropriation bill was called up. Mr. Holman impressed on Speaker Crisp the necessity for Immediate action on the Indian bill, because all contracts authorized in the bill run from the first day of July, and it will be the middle of June before the Indian bill can be passed by even the House, after which it must ptss the Senate and go to conference. Hence, Mr. Crisp, in spite of Ins deep dislike for Mr. Holman and lack of faith usually in the "Watch Dog's" assertions, was compelled to believe him in this matter and to order the rules committee to reconsider its previously formed determination to give Mr. Cooper the preference. Consequently, Mr. I Holman will be permitted to gain the floor to-morrow after the defeat of the bill to repeal the present 10 per cent, tax on State banks. Mr. Cooper's bill will come up in the House as soon as the Indian bill is disposed of. There will be some lively debate over the Indian bill. The same desire on the part of many Democratic members to repay Mr. Holman for the petty meannesses he committed when he was chairman of the appropriations committee, which has succeeded in preventing him from calling up his bill for so long, will manifest itself again by savage attacks on some of the provisions of the bill. Thus, members of the committee on irrigation of arid lands, of which V.r. Cooper is chairman, will wipe off some old scores when that clause of the Holman bill comes up which appropriates $30,000 for the irrigation of certain Indian lands. The appropriation for the Indian schools under sectarian charge is expected to involve a very heated discussion in which the A. P. A. will play a prominent part. Other sections of the bill will be similarly attacked. This determined onslaught on the Indian appropriation bill will be something entirely unprecedented, as the bill generally passes after merely : prefunctory debate. The sole cause of the acrimonious discussion which Is universally predicted lies in the hatred felt by so many Democrats for Mr. Holman and his hypocritical methods and shams. The advocates of State banks concede defeat on the vote to be taken in the House to-morrow on repealing the tax on State bank currency. At the outset of the debate the State bank men counted on' 140 votes. Their ranks are thinned by nbsem e and pairs, however, an.l thev now admit that the majority against the Statebanks will be very large. Clone of the State Bank Debate. WASHINGTON, June 5. When the House . met to-day two unsuccessful attempts were made to secure consideration of private bills. Mr. Catchlngs, from the committee on rules, brought In a resolution providing that the previous question on the Brawley bill shall be considered adopted 'at 5 o'clock to-day, the rest of the day to be devoted to trebate under the five-minute rule. Mr. Cox then offered his amendment providing for the total unconditional repeal of the tax on State banks. The bill was debated by Messrs. Boatner, Pendleton of Texas, Enloe, Livingston, TalberL Cooper of Florida, and other Democrats in favor of the bill, and by Messrs. Bowers, Cannon of Illinois, Grow, Woomer, Adams, Iacey, Qulgg and Ray and other Republicans. In opposition to it. Mr. Bryan said he would propose a bill Which would provide a larger circulation of paper money under the exclusive control of the federal government. At 5:35, without further action on the bill, the House adjourned. WAR VESSEL FOR SAMOA. The United Stnten Preparing? to Send One to Apia. WASHINGTON, June 5. A United States war vessel will be dispatched to Samoa within a few weeks. Recent dispatches from the islands indicate that the situation !s very critical, with an armed force of natives, numerically stronger than the King's army, drawn up in battle array and threatening to overturn the government. The situation gives rise to grave apprehension, for, as the foreigners resident on the islands have steadily given aid and comfort to the present government, in which their Interests are bound up, its overthrow must result In serious loss of life and ' property. At present there are two war vessels at Samoa, a British and German vessel, but at last accounts they had not interfered between the parties. As soon as a suitable vessel is available it will be sent to Apia. Probably the choice will fall on the Marion, now on her way to San Francisco from Honolulu, or the Charles ton, at Callao, Peru, if matters there are quiet enough to justify her departure. Since the spirit of strife has become so strong at Samoa the three powers protecting the islands have been strongly impressed with the necessity of disarming the natives. So far a sufficient force has not been available to undertake this task. which would probably be vigorously reflsted. hut it 13 probable that with the at tendance of a united States man-of-war. in addition to the British and German ves sels, the King will be able to do this, and thus for a time, at least, restore peace to the aistractea isianus. MR. GASTOX'S TESTIMONY. He Heard Senator and Susrar Trust IlepreMentntlveM I)Immxhm the Tariff. WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Senate com mittee which is investigating the alleged operations of the Sugar Trust in efforts to Influence tariff legislation resumed its sitting to-day and Mr. Gaston, the manufacturer, of Wilkesbarre, was examined as to the truth of the story that he had. while occupying a room at the Arlington Hotel, overheard a conversation between members of the Sugar Truct and United States Senators with regard to the necessity of protecting sugar in the tariff bill. Mr. Gaston appeared to appreciate the delicacy of his position, and stated that he overheard a conversation on the subject of sugar legislation. The occurrence had been purely accidental and una vol. table on his part. He had come to Washington in March in the interest of the tariff on wire and. stopping at the rrlinirton Hotel, was assigned to Room 33. The sixth day ot that month he spent at the Caritol, ami having put in a verv busy day had retired early, about 8 o'clock, after reaching his room at the hotel, and had almost immediately fallen asleeiv About 10 o'clock he was aroused by talking in the next room, which seemed to hi of an animated character, and was participated in by several persons. . the voices of some of whom he recognized. He soon discovered that they were discussing the sugar schedule, and that some of the participants in the conversation were exceedingly anxious that a duty on refined susar should be provided for. He said also that be had h-ard the names of certain Senators mentioned In the conversation. A report of Gaston's testimony was tonight given out by the committee. Referring to the newspaper article under consideration, . he cold: "With the exception

of the fact that I was In the room that I overheard a conversation on sugar, that I told a Congressman next Morning from what I hoard I did not believe the Wilson bill would pass, nor any other tariff unless a better bill it is absolutely manufactured out of whole cloth, absolutely false from beginning to end." He denied that he had said any Senators were in the room at the Arlington, though he supposed from the familiarity displayed with what had been going on in the finance subcommittee that day he inferred some of them were Senators. He knew Terrell was in the room because he heard some enc call him by name. CLAIMS $lo,000,000. The United States Want a Illff. Portion of the Stanford Estate. WASHINGTON, June 5. Representative McGuire, of California, vouches for the statement that Attorney-general Olney has. filed In behalf of the United States a claim against the estate of the late Senator Stanford . for the sum of J15.000.000. The claim will be presented to Mrs. Stanford, who Is the executrix of the estate. Mrs. Stanford Is not in the city, but is believed to be either In San Francisco or at Menlo Park. It cannot be said what action she will take in the matter, but it Is believed here that she will reject it. The claim Is the proportionate share of debt of the Central Pacific railroad which the Department of Justice estimates that the estate owes the United States upon the theory that personal assets of Individual members of the original Central Pacific syndicate are liable for the debt of the corporation now due, or which will become due the government. If Mrs. Stanford rejects the claim the Department of Justice will have then to decide what further steps will be taken. It is understood that the claim was filed under California statutes, so that the statute of limitation may not prevail against it. The claim is filed now in order to protect every possible interest that the United States may have in the Stanford estate through the affairs of the Central Pacific road. TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION'.

Republicans Propone A Nonpartisan Commission. WASHINGTON, June 5. The plan of a nonpartisan commission to prepare a comprehensive code of laws restricting immigration has been informally discussed at a gathering of prominent Republican Representatives. The members met casually in one of the House cloak rooms, but the discussion took such an interesting phase that about twenty members were drawn into it. The cloak room doors were closed and the informal talk nearly developed into a caucus. It was the general expression of such men as Messrs. Reed. Dolliver and Cannon that the immigration question should be wholly divorced from politics. In order to accomplish this it was suggested that Congress - could create a national commission of fifteen members, representing all parties, so that the political effects of any restrictive code prepared would not be borne by any one party. The commission would consider the entire immigration questlon.changing and applying old laws and suggesting new ones. The code submitted would be passed on by Congress, and In this way bread restrictive "measures might be secured without exciting bitter party animosity. MAY. rOSD AS A REFORM Ell. Mr. Conn Threntens to Edit a Sensational Dally Newspaper. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. June 5. Representative Conn contemplates the grave responsibility of conducting a dally morning paper at the national capital. He may assume the control of the Washington Times, the onecent dally recently started by the printers, whom tho employment of type-setting machines by the other dallies printed here,' threw out of work. The paper has been a failure up to the present time, not for lack of men of ability in the various departments, but from want of capital and the inevitable dissensions arising where a paper Is controlled by a numerous board of directors , without the least knowledge or. experience for their guide. If Mr. Conn finally decides to take the paper it is likely to be . conducted In a manner that will cause a succession of sensations in the big white building on the hill. Mr. Conn will run it as an independent paper, on the constant lookout for wrongs to right and to expose, and he has been led to believe by his comparatively brief experience in Congress that there is room and occasion here in Washington for such a paper. Appointments to Ofllee. WASHINTON, June 5.-The President -to-day -sent the following nominations to the Senate: Treasury Hampden H. Dashlell, of Maryland, to be collector of customs for the Eastern district of Maryland; Campbell B.' Berry, of California, to be assistant treasurer . of the United States at San 'Francisco; Kugene Braden. of Montana, to be assayer of the United States assay office at Helena, Mont. Interior Henry H.

Lieutenant Menoca!, of the navy, was before the House committee to-day, on the prospects of pushing the Nicaragua canal to completion. He estimated the cost of the work at a little over $00,000,000, which is several millions less than his estimate of some year3 ago. He said contractors were ready to do the work within the estimates. The work could be completed in six years. The cut would be from eighty to ?Z0 feet wide and thirty feet deep. The region of the canal was very healthful, so that work could bo done without loss from sickness. He denied the reports that the volcanic condition of the country would ba a menace to the canal locks. Ready to Proteet Americans. WASHINGTON. June 5. The State Department has received further advices from United States Minister Baker corroborating the press dispatches already published concerning the overthrow of the government In Salvador and the flight of President Ezeta on board a German steamer. The Navy Department has also been advised by the commander of the Bennington, now In Salvadoran waters, that a landing force 13 in readiness on board the ship to go ashore if American interests demand protection.

He was first conttrmed on the 2d inst., but at the instance of Senator Cullom the matter was re-opened to-day. and after some discussion of the merits of the case between Senators Cullom and Palmer, the Senate decided o stand by Its former action and reconfirm Mr. Donohue General Notes.

SEW DAXGEIl POINT. Troops Ordered Oat to Cheek Rioters Xear Mnrlon, III. MARION, 111., June 5. There is any amount of trouble in sight at the Carterville mines to-night. The strikers are growing bolder and more threatening every hour. To-day, the north-bound freight train on the short line which was carrying elsht cars of Ohio river coal from Brooklyn. to St. Louis, was fired into by the mob of strikers. . The sheriff wired the Governor again, making an earnest appeal for troops. Governor Altgeld finally yielded and ordered Colonel Smith, of the Fourth Regiment, to proceed to Carter ville at once with three companies. The soldiers will reach Cartersville in the morning. During the afternoon the Governor. In a very caustic message to the sheriff, intimated that he had not done all he could; that he was trying to shift responsibility on to the . State and fald that if he could not perform hU duties he had better resign. The sheriff returned a reply . equally warm, telling the Governor that he was responsible for most of the trouble in the State, and that If he would resign or go away and let the Lieutenant Governor rim things peace would be established very shortly. RIOTS IX MARYLAND. Over One Thousand Stnte Troops Ordered to Cumberland. BALTIMORE, June 5. Strikers, about five hundred in number, made a descent upon the Hoffman mines in the George creek region near Cumberland, owned by the Consolidated Coal Company, to-day and drove out the men at work. The mob then, marched to the other mines of the Consolidated Coal Company and made a demand upon the miners to quit. Their demand was promptly refused and the strikers began preparations to enforce it. It is reported that a sheriff's posse has been captured by the mob. This afternoon Governor Brown ordered out the Fifth and Fourth regiments. The Instructions were for heavy marching oraer, iatigue unirorm, Knapsacx, DianKets and two days'" rations. Marching orders were issued shortly before a o'clock. Tiie first train left over the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at 6i o'cldcte-and two other trains at intervals of thirty minutes.

Cripple Creek Gold Miners' Strike Settled by Governor Walte. DENVER, Col., June" 5. The strike at Cripple Creek was settled at a late hour last night. The conference began at 2 o'clock.
