Mt. Pleasant, Pa. , April 4—The situa
tion in the coke regions has not materially
changed within the last twenty-four hours.
Troops have charge of the coke company’s
property and a feeling prevails that as long
a , the militia remain there will be no more
lawlessness. The soldiers cannot stay al
ways, however, and it Is feared that unless
the strike is settled before they are called
home 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
milpia and muttering in an unintelligible
tongue.
VIEWING THE DEAD.
Yesterday and this morning thousands of
people viewed the bodies of the men who
were shot at Morewood. They lay in tha
carnsea house of Zimmerman’-undertaking
establishment They were stretched out
side by side on a long platform, around
which the crowd surged in its eagerness to
get a glimpse of the dead men. From 9 o’clock
yesterday morn! g until 10 o’clock to-day
an unbroken line of foreigners, about one in
ten of whom could speak English, tiled
around the bier upon whicn the dead lay.
hobs and gn ans were head on every side,
and the crowds collected about tha clothing
which the victims had last worn, and judg
ing from their actions they will prove
vipers to the men who and and the snooting.
DANGER OF THE DEPUTIES.
It is well|known among the citizens that
the lives ( f ('apt. Lauer and his deputies
would be in jeopaidy should the militia be
withdrawn. The foreigners ate excited to
a degree bordering on frenzy, and, although
they are keeping all demonstratio s within
the pale o£ the law, there is no doubt they
ere determined to wreak vengeance event
uilly on the people who are responsible for
the death of their countrymen. The scene
In the morgue is not one often witnessed.
Of the thousands who viewed the remains,
tcarcelv a man came in wnose countenance
was not drawn and scowli g as he gazed on
the work of the rifles, aid hundreds of
women vented their anger nnd anguish in
terms that could not be mistaken. They
were miners, cokers and their wives. The
latter are more revengeful, if anythi g,
than th6ir husbands, and are considered
more os antagonists. The physical
characteristics were short, stout stature,
sjuare faces, Arm j tws, small eyes, heavy
fire::eads, high cheek bones and forbidding
countenances.
ARRIVAL OF TIIE FUNERAL TRAIN.
Scottdalk, Pa., April 4. —A special
funeral train, bear.ng the bodies of seven of
the victims of the Morewood shooting, left
llount Pleasa it at 2:50 o’clock and arrived
here at 3:30 o’clock. The train was com
po ed of six coaches packed full, and
Handing room was at a pre uium on the
Elatforms. The bodies were taken off
>e train at the depot and placed in three
lirge road wagons. The funeral cortege
did not n ove until the regular trams
srrived at 3:37 o’clock. The large public
iquare was uot spacious enough to hold the
peat crowds of people aud the delegation
that arrived on the regular trains nad to
form on Pittsburg street and Broadway.
CARRYING THE COFFINS.
The foreign element did not take kindly
to road wag ms being u-ei as hearses to
boar the remains of t eir countrvmen to
their last resting place, and the ooftiiis were
liken out and six of them were carried to
be cemetery, a distance of a mile. The
nventh ai placed i< t hearse. The pro
cession moved at 4 *-’clock, headed by the
Standard miners’ cornet and Soottdale
hsuds, both of which played the
dead march the entire distance. There
were fuilv 8|0!X) people at toe depot, but
scarcely half of t sis number went to the
cemetery, and a large majority of those
that did follow the remains were Poles,
Slavs and Hungarians. American flags
were cotupiouous aud a number of delega
tions oarried banners.
AT THE GRAVE.
The workmen nearly all wore badges and
crape, and when the coffins were lowered
into the large trench, 12 teet long and 7 feet
wide, a number of workmen tnrew their
badges and crape on the coffins. Father
Lambing and Father Scutncigle conducted
the tuneral services according to the rites
°t the Catholic church, watch were sim
ple, but imp. a sive. After the services
Itev. Schmeigle delivered a.t ad
jirtss in the Polish language, in which
he counseled his countrymen to return
Peaceably to their homes, to cotnit no
breach of the law, aud to abstain fr<in in
toxicants and shun the saloons. Rev. Lamb
ing made a brief address in English .o the
same eiiect. Though the town wus over
crowded with all classes aid conditions of
people, the. e was not the least disturbance,
and everything passed off in a manner
creditable to the workmen.

Hfrick denies importing foreigners.
H. C. Frick made a statement to-day in
reply to an inte. view published with ex-
Seeretary Watch--ru of tha miners’ union,
iu which the latter charged ilr. Frick with
having imported thousands of foreigners,
promising iht-m a sort of Utopia. Mr. Frick
says: “I am ready and willing to state
that neither myself nor our ortnpeny, nor
any one in ite behalf, directly or indirectly,
assisted, procured or requested any man to
emigrate to this country, and if Mr.
Watcborn or any of his associates chal
lenges this statement In any particular, we
are prepared for tt e fullest examination. Al
though the violence committed in the vicin
ity of our works has been mainly by for
eigners. the public knows that these people
are simply tools working out the pla..s of
other*.
A REPETITION OF FORMER ACTS.
“The plan adopted of using these men to
accomplish tbelr work of violence is but a
repetition of former acts. In every stsiks
iu the coke regions these are tbe men who
have been used and found to be pliant tools
whenever violence is to be done. The pub
lio should not allew itself to be blinded t >
the rea l authors of the present trouble.
The controversy is not now one
between our company and its employes, but
is bet wet n the la w ful authority of our com
mon we ilth and a mob of irresponsible men
in the hands of cu mug demagogues. This
breach of tbe peace and violation of tbe
law of our land is not the result of a sudden
gush of uncontrollable passion, but is the
remit of a deep-laid scheme and well
planned attempt to override the authori.y
of our state.
WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS.
“Not the foreigners who are advised that
their living depends upon their rusort to
violence are to blame for this, but those
who give that advice are culpable. They
have called meetings of these
foreigners nud have inoited them by
incendiary speeches, well knowing that
when excited they will resort to violence,
and then try to exonerate themselves by
saying that this foreign element has gotten
beyond their control. It needs no argument
to show th it this violence is tbe result of
such acts, and the publlo press and lawful
authority of iur . tate should fix on them
ihe respoi sibility rather than upou the de
luded foreigners.
LOOKED UPON AS NOVICES.
“I picked up one of their papers to-day,
nnd in one portion of it I found an article
which stated tha there was not a regular
amo g tbe soldiers which had been brought
to tbe legion, and that they need not be
afraid of the militiamen, who were novn-es
and did not know a y more about warfare
than the strikers ti.ameelves. They also
know all of the members of the
local company of the Tenth regiment, and I
be&ra t. eni ridiculing it. As far a-. I have
discovered, there is going to be trouble, and
it will come within the next two days. All
of these Hurigar.ans have money, nnd they
are in a danger ms mood over the kiding of
tho men at Morewi od, which they all claim
was entirely unjustifiable.”
Keller’s warning has been heard and
heeded.
The Mount Pleasant Coke Company is not
making any effort here to get men to fill
tne places of t.ie strikers os vet. They are
keeping the pumps going, and hare enough
men to run the engines end boilers and
keep the mines in good condition.
THE STRIKERS NOT PENNILESS.
One peculiar feature of tha whole situa
tion is that although the men have done no
work for oyer a nv nth they still seem to
have considerable money, and from out
ward appearances are n it suffering for any
thing. They all seem to be kseping sober.
In fact, not one of them has been seen on
tbe street in an intoxi
cated condition. From bankers
i. is learned tuat the foreign element, which
constitutes 75 or 80 per cent, of the workers
of the region now striking, has more or less
funds. In tbe Mou t Pleasant Bank there
is a large list of depositors whose tarings
range trom si'o to 13,000. Of this money
very little has been withdrawn.
NOT DRAWING THEIR MONEY.
How these people live without drawing
money is difficult fur Americans to under
stand, yet suen 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 $3 50 per week. It
•eeins, therefore, that the claims of the
labor leaders that the strike can
be continued fur several months
is not far wrong. There is no
longer any doubt that the strike will be
continued indefinitely and with a bitter
ness never bef re experienced in a strike.
It is not beyond the probabilities that if the
strikers find that that they are debarred
from i caching me non-union men at the
coke works, secret methods of securing
them to stop work will be adopted. Some
or ti e men at work have be.-n heard to
exoress such fears. An intelligent
Hun in speaking of their future action sard:
“We will not hold any meetiug until to
morrow afternoon, and then we will decide
on what to d>. Tuere is only one thing
certain, and that is that the company can
not get any foreigners t) come here to take
our places, as a have notified all the
Italian* and Hungarians in the country of
the trouble.”
AN ATTEMPT TO RESUME WORK.
A special from Uniontown, Pa., says:
“It is rumored that an effort will be mads to
resume work at the Leith and Redstone
works of the Frick Company on Monday
morning. A written notice served on
Sheriff MoCoriniok to-day by the Frick
and 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. Supt. Brennea ssrved a simi
lar no.ica for the McClare company.
Sheriff McCo: mick said to-mght that be
would be obliged to impress a targe num
ber of deputies into service. All his
deputies at present with the exception of a
few at Fair Chance are concentrated at the
Jimtown and Adelaide works. To-dav
Judge Ewing granted a pos.ponement in
the injunction cases of H. C. Frick & Cos.
against Master it orkman Wiss, Vice Presi
dent Penna and others, owing to toeir at
tending the funerals.

Prese.)
Berlin, April 4.—Count Schouvaloff, tbe
Russian ambassador here, returned to the
Russian embassy from St. Petersburg yee.
ten lay and immediately held a conference
with Chancellor von Caprivi. A commu
nication has appeared in the North Qtrman
Gazette saying that tbe rumor of tbe trans
fer of Russian troops to ths Galician fron
tier is unfounded. The communication
further says that the bestowal of tbe
order of St. Andrew upon President
Carnot was merely an act of courtesy upon
tbe part of the czar in return for funeral
honors rendered the Duke of Leuchtenberg.
Thia feeble ofiicial reference is worse than
absolute silence. Count Schouvaloff's leave
was cut short a fortnight. Prinoe Lobanoff,
the Russian ambassador at Vienna, had his
conge from tbe embassy abridged several
weeks through the czar’s sudden decision to
institute a more energetic pilioy.
CARNOT GOING TO MOSCOW.
Moscow papers, simultaneously with Rus
sian organs in Paris and Brussels, report
that President Carnot is going t > Moscow,
ostensibly to visit the French exhibition of
arts and industries which is to be opened
there in May. An article in La France
save that the pretense of President Carnot
going to Moscow is obviously a feeler for
the purpose of eliciting public opinion.
President Carnot’s going or not going will
not alter the fact that the alliance between
France ad Russia, recently accomplished,
vastly bighteiis the danger and accelerates
the approach of war.
The chiefs of the dreibund will act in
unison with Lord Sail-bury in reference to
the Bulgarian imbroglio. Their concerted
policy consists in simply refusing to inter
fere or to permit interference iu the Bal
kans.
THE SOFIA INCIDENT.
A significant incident has just oocurred
in Sofia. Baron von Wangeheiro, the Ger
man consul nt Sofia, te.egraphed to Chan
cellor von Caprivi for instructions as to
how he should respond to Premier Stambu
loff’sdemand for the surrender of M. &>cb
ivokoff, who is accused of sending
menacing letters to Prince Ferdinand
and his mother, Princess Clementine, and
to M. Greascoff, the Bulgarian minister of
foreign affairs. Baron von Wangehim
represents Russia since her own minister
has been withdrawn. Von Caprivi in
stantly authorized the surrender of M.
Bocbivokoff.
BISMARCK AND THE EMPEROR.
Prinoe Bismarck has received a telegram
from tbe emperor, congratulating him upon
tbe anniver-ary of bis birth. Tbe telegram
was so short aud formal t at it was Übt
published. Count von Waldersee took
luncheon at Friedrichsruhe to-day. He
left immediately afterward to meet the
emperor at Lubeck. Prince Bismarck’s
intimate friends blame him for his unyield
ing attitude toward the emperor.
Freisinnige papers continue to pile up
accusations against the prince of malversa
tion of tbe Guelph fund. Over a million
marks of tbe fund, it is now stated, were
used by Prince Bismarck in support
of his personal policy. The
prince insists upon maintaining abso
lute silence and wiil not permit
his friends to respond to tho obarges u ntil
theybeoome a question for the considera

Guelph fund bill does not mention any
withdrawal of the decree relative to tho

GERMANY AND GtJS HOGR
Minister Phelps Resumes the Negotia
tlons— To Ex libit at Chicago.
(Copyrighted, ISOI, by Vie New YorU Auociated
.fVes.)
Berlin, April 4.—Negotiations have
been resumed between the Uuited Ststes
minister, Mr. Phelps, and Cha icellor von
Caprivi on t..e question of the withdrawal
of the prohibition against American pork
products, and there are more hopeful pros
pects of an early and successful issue than
recent reports have led the public to be
lieve. An important indication of the
government’s intentions is given in
to-night’s North German Gazette. Com
menting upou an A e lean dispatch pub
lished in Berlin papers headed: “No Pig,
No Beet Root Sugar,” the Gazette says
that, contrary to the adverse views ex
pressed in the dispatch, the Ame lean gov
eminent is endeavoring by measure* of san
itary reform to put an end to the German
embargo upon Amer can poric, and has
adopted the best a id only means to lead to
the desired agreement.
NOT IN A STRAINED POSITION.
Press dispatches representing the German
government as being in a forced or con
strained position are entirely erroneous.
Attempts to awaken abroad groundless
hopes that Germany’s action would be in
fluenced by pressure might add to the dif
ficulty of the position, but oannot
exercise a decisive influence upon the
government’s reiolutions. Thus the
Gazette expresies what everybody versed
in the progre a of del cate negotia
tions knows, viz ; Tiist Chancellor von
Caprivi e waits a favorable moment to deal
•witu the question of repeul.ng that prohibi
tion, but cannot accede to the American
claims under the appa ont influence of
threats. The public satisfaction over the
admission of American cattle increases as
the quality of the imports becomes recog
nized. Hamburg official retur a for
March show that during the mouth fill
American cattle were imported. If a lot of
290, brought late in Februar by the steam
ship Atnalafl, be added, the five weeks total
promises rapid expansion of trade. Official
circles refuse to believe that an economic
war is possible between the U. ited .Antes
aid Germany. Both governments ere de
sir us of establishing and extending closer
relations.
A WORI.D’B FAIR EXHIBIT.
Chancellor von Caprivi yesterday re
ceived a memorial from delegate* repre
senting various German industries, pre
pared after two days’ discussion, regarding
tbe Chicago world's fair, asking for the ap
pointment of an imperial commissioner, aud
that tha government otherwise assist, in the
fullest possible way, the German exhibitor*,
so as to 'make the display
worthy of the country. The memorial
points out ths necessity of prompt action
by the govern ruent'-in view of the fact that
England and France are already prepared
to give official assistance to their exnibitors.
To-night’s Politische Nachrichten states
that the dominaut official view is iu favor of
i of the German trades at the
fair in a manner worthy of their present
development.

Calcutta, April 4.—Further details con
cerning the capture of Fort Thabat, which
is situated twelve miles from Manipur, the
scene of the recent massacre of British
troops by the natives, has been recsived
here. According to three later advices the
British force which earried the works by as
sault numbered only eigutv 1 idian troops,

Information reaohod here tide afternoon
that Lieut. Grant’s light force of Indian
troops is now confronted by ala ge force

got no definite promises from Mr. Wann
maker, but he d'd go a ay believing that he

glass will advauce fr m 30 to 30 per c-nt.,
exclusive or tbe rei ales to dealers, within
the next few days. Tbe dealers have
already received private advices of the
coming advance, which they assert are posi
tively reliable. Last year the pness of
window and plate glass reached tbe lowest
mark in years.
DEALERS BUY HEAVILY.
During the winter lust passed the price
has continued to go down until such low
figures have been reached that dealers all
over the country have been overstocked for
no other reason than that they regarded
gloss as a fine investment. They were los
ing money steadily for quite a period. Tbe
manufacture!s have evidently determined
t<> e nibble, and ail tbe leading faotoner in
the United States will raise their prices
simultaneously. The new price lists are
now in ths hands of the printer, and are
expected to arrive every day, when the
slocks at present in the hands of the dealers
will be immediate y raised accord! g to the
increase in the wh legale price. Toe prod
uc.oq hand, the manufacturers claim,lt very
small, owing to tbe immense orders that
have been received from tbe dealers during
the winter and early sprang. Yesterday a
prominent St. Louis dealer telegraphed a
large order to a Pittsburg house, receiving
an answer which stated that tbe order
would be Ailed at a price whion was consid
