Georgia Fugitives Are Now In Jail at
Montreal.
Montreal. May 16.—The tug Spray
with Colonel Gay nor and Captain
Greene on board, arrived In Montreal
at 3:10 o’clock this morning.
The detectives proceeded to polir
headquarters with their prisoners, who
were brought before Judge LaFon
faine, extradition commissioner, this
morning.
The detectives agreed to allow Colo
nel Gay nor and Captain Greene
stay at the Windsor until the court
proceedings began, when application
will be made for their release on bail
Donald MacMaster, who represents
the United States government, arriv
ed at the Windsor about 6 o’clock and
held a hurried consultation with Pc
tectivr* Caipenter and Marlon Erwin,
the Georgia district attorney.
It was agreed that Detective Car
pentor should keep In seclusion until
the prisoners had been brought into
court, as ho, being charged with tlu
execution of warrants, would be the
one upon whom the writ of habeas cor
pus would be served. No one has been
allowed to speak to the prisoners thus
far.
At 7 o’clock the regular Quebec
boat arrived, bringing the Quebec de
tectives and lawyers and Mrs. Gavnor
who. when they saw their chase or
the river was fruitless, took the rogu
lar Montreal boat at Sorel. Several
of the detec tives, including Chief D<
tective Walsh, came to the Windsor
to sec that the prisoners were not
spirited away again, and others, head
ed by High Constable Gab', went in
search of Chief Carpenter to serve
the writs of habeas corpus on him. The
two prisoners talked but little about
their arrest to their guards, but Colo
nel Oaynor said the trip was quite ex
citing, but it was pretty cold.
Oaynor and Greene have been re-
mnnded ur.tM !\i< \: v next.

Hazelton, Pa., May 16—The great
coal strike was inaugurated perma
nently last evening and is now’ in full
Torce. There wore no developments
previous 16 the reassembling of the
convention in secret session shortly
lt'tr 0 o’clock this morning.
From the gossip of the dedegates, it
ig expected that the proposition to call
out the mine engineers, firemen and
mmp runners, thus endangering the
•»afety of the mines, will meet with as
nuch opposition as did the motion to
nake the strike permanent.
Those who advoc ated the continued
suspension of work are as a rule
of calling out the se men. The
nore c onst i vative mine* workers feai
hat to call out the protectors of the
nines would be a boomerang that
night prove extremely costly to the
nin«*rs. it is argued by them that
he United Mine Workers’ organiza
tion has all along followed the policy
_>f assisting the companies in protect
;ng their property.
If the convention decides to call out
'ho engineers, firemen and pumpmen
ind runneis. it is not certain that the
irders will be obeyed by all this class
if min*' workers.
President Mitch-11 stated most cm
phaticaily today that the report that
x telegram lrom Senator Hanna was
read in the convention hcfoie the
vote was taken on the strike question
is absolutely untrue. Mr. Mitche
ilso brands as false the statement
that he had been -visited by a ropre
senfative of .Senator Hanna with th
proposition that the miners accept a
per cent Increase in wages.
The miners’ convention adjourned
sine die at 11:15 a. m.
The delegates voted to leave the
question of calling out the engineers,
firemen and pump runners to the dis
trict officers.

The events of the day coincided with

mense crowds to the city from the
urrounrtipg country. Thousands ot
persons gathered along tho route from
he northern station to the palace to
witness the procession.
The scene at fhc railroad station
upon the arrival of the royal train was
most brilliant. An eseorl composed of
the royal body guard, in shimmering
breast plates and with drawn swords,
ind a squadron of dragoons in bur
ished steel helmets and with waving
lances was drawn up in the courtyard,
while wtttjin the station were assem

brought the coaches to a standstill he

platform had consequently to scurry
down the station to the royal ear

reviewed, the Duke of Connaught and
the Prince of the Asturias walked to
gether first, followed by the otlie
princes. Among these was the crow:
prince of Slam, in a white uniform
conspicuous on account of his short
stature. Prince Vladimir of Denmark
who walked at ills side, towered abovi
him. The Duke of Connaught and t?
other ambassadors saluted the stand
ard and tho royal body guard. They
then took their places In carriages
and were driven to tho palace, escort

Iragoons. At the palace the amliassa
