Coke Strikers Become Desperate‘and
Decide Upon Bloodshed. '
DISCOVERED JUST IN TIME.
Superintendent Ramsey Was the Intended
Victim—His Residence Was to Be
Consigned to the Torch—A
Crisis Approaching.
PITTSBURG, April 1.—Shortly after mid-
night scouts and detectives of the coke op-
erators working about the Morewood,
Standard and Mutual works took into
Mount Pleasant some startling informa-
tion. A detective, who temporarily se—
cured a room in a house adjoining that oc-
cupied by Hungarian leaders, and sepw
rated only by a plank partition, heard an
alarming conversation. He reported that
a meeting of tWelve of the leaders decided
to raid Morewood last night and to kill
Superintendent Robert Ramsey, if he could
be found, and burn his residence, which is
located only 100 yards from the shaft.
Superintendent Ramsey removed his
family to a distance, and preparations for
defense were made. Orders were given
sentinels to fire in case of a raid. This is
the first time since the trouble began that
this order has gone forth, and no doubt
contributed to keep the strikers quiet, for
no attack was made.
A reporter who was on the ground all
night confirms the report of the plot to
murder Superintendent Ramsey. Four
hundred men gathered at Morewood, but
they ascertained that the sheriff’s depu-
ties were armed with Winchesters and re—
volvers, and no outbreak occurred.
A Crisis Near at Hand.
The sheriff has accepted the proffered
assistance of a large number of members
of Company E, Tenth regiment, N. G. P.
This reinforcement was sworn in under
, Sheriff Clawson.
Meetings of the strikers were held in
both of the Knights of Labor halls at
Mount Pleasant last night, but under
such unusual injunctions as to secrecy
that their action could not be learned by
the most skillful detectives.
Many of the men who participated in
the riot yesterday morning were compelled
by threats to join the mob. Calls were
made at their housm, and bulldozing was
indulged in without disguise.
The residents of Mount Pleasant are
alarmed, and feel that their property is at
the mercy of an angry and
foreign element. There is no mistaking
the situation. If an attempt is made to
resume work there will be serious trouble.
That a crisis is approaching seems to
have impressed every citizen, and there is
scarcely a home in Mount Pleasant from
the Windows of which the light was not
streaming all night.
“Black Leg Shall Not: Work.” '
The Huns celebrated what they call
Water Monday with more than usual en-
thusiasm. It is their customto keep the
Monday following Easter. With the
shades 'of evening this festival changed
into a series of mysterious meetings, which
none but the initiated can fathom.
The refusal of Governor Pattison to is-
sue guns to Sherifl? Clawson has em-
boldened the strikers, leading some of
them to believe that he sympathizes with
them.
AHungarian, whomistook acorrcspond-
cut for one of the sheriffs, hailed him on
the street last night and asked him if he
Was a soldier. \Vhen informed that the
writer’s mission was one of peace he said
in broken English as he patted his breast:
“We have 4,000 men who have determined
that black leg shall not work. Governor
Pattison, he no order out soldiers.”
This reflects the feeling manifest that a
determined effort, violent and anarchistic,
will be made to prevent men from accept-
ing the terms offered.
Armed with W-‘inchest'ers.
MOUNT PLEASANT, 13.21., April 1.——Tues-
day morning coke was being drawn from
the ovens at Morewood and the men were at
work in the mines. No demonstration of
any kind on the part of the strikers was.l
being made, but the company expects it,
and has deputies armed with Winchester
rifles stationed near the coke drawers. A '
large meeting of strikers will be held. The ,
deputies and bosses at Moreu'rood expect a
more general outbreak than has ever visit-
ed the works before. .
Extensive preparations are being made
to receive it.
Important developments in the arrest of
the leaders in the recent raid will likely be
made known later on. Work at Morewood
will now be pushed as rapidly as possible,
and in a day or so, providing no outbreak
occurs, smoke will be seen rising from 300
ovens.

MASSACRMMANIPUR
British Native Indian , Soldiers
Slaughtered by the Hostiles.
ENGLISH OFFICERS LOST.
The Commanders of the Ghoorkas/ and
All the Officials Have Either Been
Slain or Are field as Prisoners.
Butcher-y in a Dangerous Pass.
CALCUTTA, April 1.-—Ofiicial dispatches
received here by the government officers
confirm the. report of the massacre of
Ghoorkas at Ma'nipur, in the province of
Assam, where about 470 of- }these native
soldiers were slain by hostile’tribesmen of
Assam after two days’ desperate fighting.
The fate of the British officers who were
in command of the Ghoorkas, and of Chief,
Commissioner James W. Quinton, who
was. conducting the negotiations at the
durbar for thearrest of a prominent chief
that had been instrumental in deposing
the rajali of Manipur, is still uncertain,
but the Viceroy of India, the Marquis of
Lansdowne, believes that all the officers
and officials have either met death or are
held as prisoners.
In additionto the disaster at Manipur,
it is believed that a force of British troops,
composed of a detachment of 200 soldiers
of the Bengal infantry and about eighty
Goorkhas, who were marching from Shil-
long to Manipur to re-enforce the Forty-
second and Forty-fourth Goorkha light ,
infantry, which composed the escort of
Chief Commissioner Quinton, have also
been attacked and have shared the fate of
their comrades at Manipur. _
The Force Annihilated.
They were set on by the Assamese as
they were passing through a difficult and
dangerous pass, and though they fought
gallantly against heavy odds, the rebels,
from the advantageous positions that they
occupied on the sides of the pass, and
ahead and behind the British force, poured
such a destructive fire into the ranks of
the Bengalese land Goorkhas that the lat
ter are said to have been killed to a man.
The vicerOy is hurrying troops into the
province of Assam to punish the rebels._
Re-enforcements are also being sent into
states located in proximity to Assam in
order to prevent any possible disorder or
warlike outbreak that 'might follow the
spreading of the news of the massacre at
Manipur.
Marley’s Caustic Comments..
LONDON, 'April L—Mr. Morley writes
to the Times: “Nobody whose mind is not
poisoned by faction will agree with you
that the failure of the crown to secure the
conviction of the Tipperary riot leaders is
without material consequence. The judge
told the jury that Colonel Caddel and the
police witnesses were on their trial no loss
than the defendants. The verdict. there-
fore shows in three instances that the jury
disbelieved the case for the crown and
condemned Caddcll and the police and in
one instance acquitted them. That is
quite material enough for me.”
Then, dwelling on the crown precau-
tions, changing of the venue, packing of
the jury, etc, Mr. Morley asks: “Does this
shed no light on the Irish minister’s un-
faltering assumption during the past four
years that every word of a constable or
resident magistrate was gospel, and that
any contradiction of a. mere commoner
was an exaggeration or a lie? The Irish
government should stick to their two resi-
dent magistrates in the snug coercion
court and give careful, conscientious
juries a wide berth.”
A Rise in Steerage Fares.
BERLIN, April l.—-As the result of a
meeting at Dusseldorf of the representa
tives of the various steamship companies
engaged in the carrying of emigrants tc
the United States it was determined to
increase the steerage fares to America ten
marks over the prevailing rate. The in-
cr'eaSerwill go into operation on April 1.
The Pope Frustrated.
ROME, April 1.—Thc pope is prostrated
by stomachic trouble. He has been or-
dered by his physicians to remain inbed
forthe present.
Death of Earl Granville.
LONDON, April 1.—-—Earl Granville is
dead.
Lake Navigation Plans.
CHICAGO, April 1.——-'I‘he proposition oi
the Vessel Owners’ association of Buffalc
to delay the opening of navigation until
May 1 or later has led to a meeting 01
lumbermen here, at which resolutions
were passed demanding that all steam
craft now in winter quarters at Chicago
be ready to leave port on or before Satur-
day, April 4; that should, the freighting
season not open as auspiciously as now
appears probable, and should over 8 per
cent. of the boats be out of port at one
time, all the fleets shall be called in and
tied up until May 1.
The New Sugar Tarifl‘ Operative.
NEW YORK, April 1.—The reduction 01
the prices of sugar, as provided by the pro
visions of the McKinley bill, went intc
effect at midnight. All sugar below No.
16 Dutch standard comes in free; sugar
above No. 16 Dutch standard is subject to
aduty of one half per cent. per ,pound.
The grades of sugar between Nos. 13 and
16 are fit for use, hence the public will
have the sugar of the lower grades free Oi
duty. The reduction in the price of re-
’ fined sugar will be between one and twt
cents per pound.
