This Course Was Adopted Amid Great Applause. CoLVMBCs.Ohio, April 11. The united mine workers of America have ordered a general strike April 21. This will re sult in 300,000 miners quitting work. J. A. Crawford of Illinois, member of the executive board, presented the reso tion to strike. He said from twelve to fourteen resolutions had been referred to the committee, but they had decided lo substitute tvb, one of which was to strike on April 22. Thia precipitated prolonged applause and an animated discussion. W. D. Van Horn opposed the date as serting that the Indiana miners had a contract with the operators to work until Mav 12. The operators had asked them to accept a reduction, but it had been op posed and the wages have not been re duced. He was ill favor of suspension of work May 1. Joseph Dunkerly, Btate president of Indiana, was bitterly opposed to the date. He also wanted assurance that Illinois was ready; for if Illinois is not then the coal operators of that state could supply all the states around. The date was changed to the 21st on account of the 22nd being Sunday and carried amid great applause. COKE WAR ON AGAIN. Scenes of Riot anjl Destruction Renewed in Pennsylvania Today. Usiostown, Pa., April 11. War has begun again in the coke region and the situation today is most critical. Rioting und raiding have been the programme from early morning. An armed mob of 400 strikers assembled at 7:3t today at the Youngstown works of the H. C. Frick company near here. Aboat sixty coke drawers were in the pit when at a given signal, the strikers swooped down upon the plant from every direction. The workers fled for shelter to the company's store, which was guarded by only six employes. The 400 Hungarians demanded that the workmen be given up. This was refused at first, but after several attacks the workmen were given up. They were treated to all sorts of insults and some of them beaten with clubs. Sheriff Wilhelm was notified at once and started for the scene of trouble. The rioters had left for the Leisenring's, tak ing the Youngstown workers with them. The sheriff gave chase with twenty deputies, overtook the mob and ordered them to disperse! The leader of rioters answered them they were' on the public highway and had equal rights with the sheriff. A deputy took charge of one of the men when the strikers surrounded the po'sse and forced the authorities to give up the man. The sheriff's force then fell back and the strikers continued the march toward Leisenring. Twenty more deputies have left here to join Sheriff Wilhelm. Trouble is inevitable as the strikers are all armed. At Youngstown, it is said an attempt was made to shut off the air from the mine, which would have resulted in suf focation and death for the workers. Two Hundred Coopers Strike. St. Louis. April 11.

The latest fiie3 of the Australian papers re ceived by the steamer Arawa, contain little else than sensational accounts of burglaries and labor troubles.

Telegraph, telephone, electric light and police signal wires above ground are more or less broken, or logged and crossed. It is impossible to learn how great is the extent of the storm in this territory but from scattering services at hand, the snowfall seems to be general at this end of the state and to extend beyond Roch ester. There is no indication of a let up yet. -The storm has brought employ ment to hundreds of men cleaning streets and railroads. Horses Shocked by Llva Wires. Lancaster, Pa., April 11.

Demo cratic politicians are now claiming that the term of Gov. Osborne does not ex pire until January, 1897.

OVER ROCKY ROADS, Coxey's Commonweal Starts Across the Mountains. Thousands of Coke Workers Watch Its Departure. 31 ARCHERS NUMBER 300 Another Branch fo Start From Faneuil Hall v The Western Industrial Army Still at Osrden. Uniontown, Pa., April 11. The de parture of the commonweal "'for the mountain trip was made at noon. The line was well formed and a noticeable feature was the fact that seven of the men who deserted Tuesday night re joined the columns. There were 300 men in line. The stop tonight will be near Chalk Hill, eight miles. Scenes of bedlam occurred in Uniontown last night. With the jail rilled with coke workers who are said to be implicated in the sav age murder of Chief Engineer Paddock, and the streets choked with thousands of strikers who are not in the best of humor, it was feared that the city would be given up to a night of bedlam. The alarm was realized to some extent soon after dark, when commonwealers and coke drawers got into a drunken brawl .in front of the McClelland hotel. Officers were hurriedly summoned and two of the warriors who had become the worse for liquor were taken to the crowded jail. When the army started out today there were thousands of miners and coke workers in town who saw it for the first time. With the staff officers well grouped behind the drummers and fifers, and with their banners flying at the head of each commune, the crusaders tramped over the miserable pavements with no more friendly greeting to break upon their ears that the universal exclamation of, "Well, for God's sake!" There was no cheering. The wretched and forlorn appearance of the men stilled the noices of the strikers, who had come, it is believed, to jeer the commonweal ers. STlLt AT OGDEX.

"She was a walking arsenal," said the lawyer again. "Talk about Kentucky colonels, and the turning up coat tails here in this court house to Bee if there were pistols. Did you see that look on that woman's face when she came into the court house. Why, I was afraid to sit beside the colonel for fear a Btray bullet might hit me." Major Butterworth, whose mild man ner is in great contrast of hia colleague, began his remarks by expressing gratifi cation that this trial must soon be brought to an end. Upon those who were to blame for bringing it before the public, the burden must rest. There was no wrong to be righted by this suit. Even to save the lives of the two nominal principals, the incorruptable judiciary of the country could not afford to deal with such a mass of contagion, nor should tbe hearthstones of the coun try tiave been invaded by it for any pur pose. He would not use harsh lan guage to Miss Pollard, but he would that some had whispered into her ear the words the Master had said: "Go and sin no more." Some people had been solicitous for fear his (Butter worth's had been mis placed. He had known the defendant and as a statesman, soldier and a friend, and you may speed it on the lightnings that to whom Ben Butterworth was a friend in the days of his prosperity he will not turn his back on in adversity.

"I take it for granted no attorney would disgrace a court with such demonstra tions. All lawyers from outside the city are welcome here. But there are others sitting here that are not members of the bar to my knowledge." More "men were ushered out by the bailiffs, but more than half the spectators remained. LITTLE DONE IN CONGRESS.

The Police Sergeant Not Reappointed by the Police Board. The Topeka board of police conimts sioners met last night as prescribed by law, and re-elected most of the old po licemen. Chairman Whiting and Commissioner Krausa, composed the board at last night's session, as Commissioner Vount is sick at his home iu Lowman Hill. As predicted in last night's Journal, Sergeant Henry Steele was not reap pointed, and the commissioners announce that his appointment is simply withhf Id pending an investigation. Officer Capron was reappointed as the commissioners are determined to keep him on the force for political effect. They excuse his re-election by saying North Topeka people demand his reten tion, as he is one of the few men who can control the toughs of Reilmon ville. It is understood, however, that the commissioners would readily drop Capron if they could do so consistently with .the fight they have made in his be half. Officers L. J. Darr, C. Whitney and D. E. Carruthers were not re-elected, al though it is understood that Carruthers' reappointment is simply withheld pend ing an investigation. The commissioners refuse to say why they did not re-elect the other two oiii cers, but it is understood that Darr lean two much towards being a Republican to be satisfactory to the administration. Darr says he always was a Republican until two years ago, he was at the pri mary to vote the Republican ticket when his vote was challenged and he then voted the Populist ticket for spite. The old officers, with the exception of those named, were re-elected and U. S. Davis, who has been acting as a special policeman, was made a regular patrol man.

Y.Assemblj Thanking Hill Read. Washixgtojt, April 11. There was a j very small attendance in the galleries when the senate convened yesterday, ami there was scarcely a qiftram of j senators visible. The bill introduced some time ago by Senator Peffer for the improvement of public roads (a bill in the direction of the Coxey j movement, and which was referred to r the committee on education and labor) was reported back adversely by Sen ator Kyle. Mr. Quay introduced a resolution, objection to the considera tion of which was made by Senator Coekrell,' that the senate should hold a session on Saturdav, April 21, from 1 o'clock to hear a committee of the, organizations of the working-men of the United States in opposition to the tariff bill. The Wolcott resolution for the coin age of Mexican dollars at the United States mints was laid before the sen ate and passed. Notice was given by Senator Mc Fherson of Sew Jersey that next Monday, as soon as the tariff bill was taken up, Senator Smith of New Jer fcev would address the senate. The resolution of Senator Allen to limit general debate on the tariff bill to June 4, and to take the final vote on June 7, was laid before the senate. Mr. Allen advocated the resolution, when Mr. Coekrell proposed an amendment, which was accepted bv Mr. Allen, that g-eneral debate should cease April 30 and tne vote should be taken May 14- Senator Chandler suggested as an amendment that g-eneral debate should cease on November 22. which gave rise to some ironical comments from the Democratic side.

Miller, General Manager Kendrick, Receiver Oakes, ex-Senator Spooner and Attorney J. W. Curtis of the Northern Pacific rail road. The chief interest was centered in Mr. Spooner's testimony.

They were unanimous in saying that no man had felt com pelled to remain at work, but what they objected to was the "application of such a power by the court, which they did not think was justice.
