AN ominous I)11T Uncertainty and Fear Plaoes an Awful Strain on Both StrikerB and Citizens in tbe Coke Eegions. TEN DEATHS HAVE OOCUEEED. Several Others in a Very Oritioal Condi-tion Th Inquest Upon the Bodies of the Slain. BIt. Pleasant. Pa., April 3. Quiet reigns throughout the coke regions this morning. No outbreak has occurred since the fatal raid yesterday morning. While the situation is still grave, tbe presence of the militia has a reassuring effect. Two regiments are upon the ground. Tho uncertainty and fear last night has proven an awful strain on both strikers and citizens. No sleep-ing was done in the entire region but crowds paraded tbe streets or gath-ered in knots at tbe corners, or disap-peared in bunches over dark hills, leaving doubt as to their destination and intentions. The foreigners were quiet, but were always in crowds and the momentary fear of an outbreak wh'ch the entire regiment could not quell was only dissipated by tho first streaks of early dawn. So far teu deaths have occurred and several more are in a critical condition. Funerals will take place Saturday. Peter Wise, master workman of the knights of labor says the entile coke country will turn out, and about that time people must take care. 1 he inquest on the bodies was re-sumed this morning. Neither the sheriff nor the coke companies were repre-sented. The labor leaders were present in full force. Albert Halley swore the only shooting he heard came from the guards, (ieorge Taylor, watchman, testified to hearing two or three pistol shots before the regular tiring of the guards. The witness was a deputy and carried a revolver; he haa not known whether all the guards carried revolvers or not. This doubt created as to whether the pistol shots were tired first by the guards or tha strikers was received with a cheer by the crowd. Most of the testimony this morning was favorable to the miners except that of Dr. Plotner, wiio testified that tho company's gate had been broken down. Adjourned until this afternoon. Fears are entertained for tho safety of Captain Loar, whose men did tho shooting yesterday. He is going round with a body guard. Trouble is looked for in Fayette county, and it is probablo a regiment of militia will be sent there. The following telegram was received this afternoon from Alexander Jordon, Italian consul at Philadelphia: "Impossible for me to come. nounce tbe kili'ng to the proper author-ities."

They Object to Coercion and Will Not be Compelled to Eoard Anywhere, r A STRIKE APPEAES IMMINENT!. Trouble Has Eeen Brewing for Some Time and Great Indignation is Exp r.se d. Special toThs Times, Ei.'kkka, Utah, April 3. The minerl of Tintic are on the warpath and pro-pose to make a tout of their strength in tryinji to correct what they believe t. be an invasion of their pur.sonal liber lies, 'J hi' trouble ban been fomenting for some lime. Their grievance is the compulsion which tha mining companies exercise)' over them in insisting what they' shall board at the boarding homo which they either run or control. The conllict was precipitated a few days ago when a number of men were discharged from the l'.eck for a refusal to comply with the established law of tho com' pany. Tho Heck lias been boarding their men for :! a month, while the 'oilier' companies huve been charging $1 a day straight. This price did uot seem adequate to the company in order to run a gojd houe, and tha men were nottlied that altar April 1st the price would be rained to the sain. a that obtained by other mines. This the miners determined to resist. .Hid they thought the present a propitious time to demand that the compulsion should be done away with, and they I f permitted to board where they pleased. On April 1st a number of the miners quit the boarding house and they were immediately given their time and in. formed that their sorvices wero na longer wauted. A miners' union has been organized, here for more than six mouths aud ha now gathered together a membership) of nearly 10ml members who are em-ployed on all of the mines tbronghoul the Tintie district and they are all united in declaring that they will stand toimhar and bring the matter to a con-clusion, believing that the sentiment of the people will uphold thorn in them in their demand that after earning their money they be permitted to spend it where they choose. A meeting of the miners' union was held which was largely attended by miners from all over the district and at which it was resolved that those who bad been discharged should be sus-tained in the position they had taken. The miners now say they will not board at any company boarding bouse unless tney want to; "whether they have de-cided to strike in caso the managers of the cmnoanies refuse to accede to their demands is not known, but everything; looks as if a general strike is imminent. In caso it occurs it will lake in all the) mines from Silver City to Kureka. On the streets everything is quiet but the greatest determination isexpressed. The sympathies of the people are witU the miners. Whet tha OUcwlf lay. At the offices of the several ruining1 companies in this city, it was learned', that the news was uot unexpected, foo' they had been advised that It was liable to occur at any moment. In one of thf offices the information was obtained that the miners' union at Eureka., had been conferring with those at Vir- -' gitiia City aud J5utte, on the plan of tha organizations there and as to how simi-lar affairs ought to be managed in order either to avoid a conllict or to win if it should be forced upon them. It was also learned that a committee from th minors' union at Kurcka waited on the lleck company about the middle of Mnrch and that the employes be uot compolled tii, board at any designated placed this the company promised to consider. At the same time the committee aaidt they were coing to m ike a similar re- -, quest of the hureka Hill, the Mammoth-ad-the Centennial Kureka companies, but a visit to those offices showed tha no such committee had waited on them. At the Million-Beck- , as Mr. Hyde is in San Fraucisco, no one was author-ized to say what action the company would take in case such a demand shonldbe made. One of the officers of the Mammoth was seen but he said that without havJ ing a consultatation with tho others ho. was not prepared to say just what hi; company would do. W. W. Chisholm, manager of the Ccntennial-Eurek- did not think tho same arguments could be used with hi company as would apply to the others,-- , as the mine was some 'disUtictti from town. His company run, a boarding house at which, all employees, both married and single, j were askod to .stop; if they did not their i services were not wanted. In case tha; miners' union or anybody else de manded that this rule should be re-scinded, his company would resist it tooth and toe nail to the bittr end. Under no circumstances would it ba acceded to. Manager John Q. Packard could not be seen to learn what position the Eu-reka Hill company would assume ia the matter. RECEIVING COUNTRY COUSINS. .(caption Coiiiniiuaea From llnnkudoin no the Alert. The reception committees appointed by the bunko and skin game union at the meeting last night, with a special commission, to exert every effort that "Mr. Hayseed" might be properly en-tertained during conference week, ara doing their work right up to the handle and Temple block has been haunted all day by thorn. The entertainmeut may come high but it is only rarely hat the country cousin is afforded op-portunity to study the anatomy of the elephant and it is due him that Mr. Bunko, as a public-spirite- d citizen do bis share towards it.

The was a merry little war in the Salt Luke seminary yesterday afternoon, in which a strapping six foot Utah scholar showed a rather pugilistic disposition. The pupil, Martin Trester, showed that he was possessed of something that had never been taught bim in the semi-nary, and Professor Doilivcr is some-what at a loss to know bow it was ac-quired. The trouble arose over a trivial mat-ter in the school, and Professor lolli-- j vcr requested Truster to retire to the recitation room, where be would shortly join him. When the two canio together Prof. Doliver asked Martin to pack up bis books and go home and await the, re-turn of the principle. Prof. Baxter, w ho would probably be able to adjust their little difficulties To this proposition the pugilistic pupil did not deign to make a reply, but started back for the school room. Prof. Doliver followed bim and insisted that he should be obeyed, but Martin very bluntly declined. Then force was necessary and Dollivnr used it, and they at once started in on a d The conllict for a few moments was highly entertaining. First it was Dolli-ve- r and then it was Trester until they got into tho yard, w hen Truster gave the professor a half-Nelso- lock and rolled him in the mud. After a few moments Trester's better judgment prevailed and be decided to go home. As Tiik Tim us was ready to go to press it learned that Martin Trester had sworn out a warrant against Pro-fessor Dolliver, charging him with an assault made on hiiu yesterday on the grounds of the Salt Lake seminary.

Washington, April !t. It Is under-stood that ltla'uie has received a copy of Marquis Kudini's note cabled yester-day, and that it will be laid before the cabinet today. Attorney General Miller received a telegran from tho I'uited States district attorney at New Orleans, saying be was engaged in investigating tho recent killing of tho Italians, in accordance with the instructions from Washington, ami would forward bis report as promptly as possible. Tho Star says Maine's note- to Mar-quis Imperial!, of yesterday, was raided at once lo Rome. Manpiis do Rudini replied last night directing the Marquis Impuriali to hand tho cablo to Maine. This was douo at 10 o'clock this morn-ing. It was In Italian and had to he translated. When this was done Maine, taking all the documents, pro-ceeded to the white bouse where the cabinet has been in session for an hour. The tenor of tho note has not yet been inado publie. lll.AlNK i COl'KSK WAS KIGHT. Tha Kily of tlio Hfrretary Moala Witn Approval From all I'oliticlanf. Washington. April 2. Secretary Maine's letter to Mtrquia Imperiali is very strongly commended by men of all shades of politics here, and the opin-ion is widely expressed that it will bring the Italian government to calmer consideration of the mailer. There is considerable public indigna-tion expressed at the attitude taken iu the matter by the Italian Americans who have long been citizens of the I'nited States, and are now taking sides with the Italian government and de-manding satisfaction. There is a feel-ing that if these men are American citi-zens, and have taken an oath of alle-giance to tho I'nited States, they are no longer subjects of Italy, whose duty it la to take up arms in her defense, Y.x Representative Farquhar of New-Yor-speaking of tho correspondence published this morning, said ho be-lieved Maine's letter would appeal to tho good sense of every foreign ualioii. He said: "Italy does not wan war, she wants to bluff us out. The secre-tary of the treasury should now send a j,.iter a circular letter to the con-tractors w ho uro now engaged in con-structing uaval vessels, ordering them to hurry up work and complete the vessels as quickly as possible, at the government's risk for damages and extra expense. This mere iudication that we were read ' to prepare for any-thing Italv might bo disposed to do, that we did nut intend to yield when we were i;i the right, would put an end to Italy's demonstration." The "apparent inability of tho United States to actually extend to foreigners the protection which is guaranteed in the treaties iu case uu outrage is com-mitted for v hich a state is responsible ha? led to considerable talk iu diplo-matic circles. It was suggested that congress might have to change the method of negotiating treaties, but when this view was presented to Grosvenor, he very promptly replied that no change was necessary. The United States," he said, "can al-ways be trusted to do what is honest and right. We need not go to the ex-tent of revising all our methods for the sake of pleasing countries which send large numbers of their peo-ple to our shores." General Grosvenor added that if tho government had any right to inter-fere in a matter like the Italian trat'edy, then it had an equal right to interfere in every case whtrn the murder a negro for political reason occurs iu the south during a federal election. "The Italian govern-ment,'' he said, "must surely realize that if the national government cannot protect the live-- , of its ow n citizens, or interfere to punish their murderers, it cannot do so for foreigners," The Post this morning says: "It is held that quite a number of interna-tional lawyers that iho ntrht of the fed-eral government to negotiate treaties carries with it power to carry out the treaty stipulations, even if by so doing it appears to override state authority. Congress, when it convenes, will prob-able enact a law to designate bow tho federal government shall act iu a diffi-culty like the present. had made a mistake, and after two days' reflection they determined that the course of wisdom was to officially admit it. HOW IT ALL CA.MK ABOt'T. Da Fava'a Iteeatl Tlxplained He was Too Hasty in freaeotina; Hit Xj ! trr. New Youk, April 3. The Sun prints the following from W ashington: Late last night a Sun correspondent received from high official authority n true ex-planation of the course which Italy has pursued in first recalling Minister Fava anil threatening war, and then admit-ting, by a dispatch from Rudini to Imperiali last night that Secretary Blaine has all along been ready to make proper reparation for the killing of the Italians, and that Italy's action has been too hasty. The explanation is that from the time when Baron Fava first received instructions to present his letters of recall until the day he did so he was earnestly urging his government to delay" taking such an important step and holding out promises of an amicable set-tlement of the controversy. This course he followed for nine or ten days. On Tuesday he had peremptorily or-dered to delay no longer and thereupon presented bis" instructions to Secretary Blaine. On his return to his apart- - ments bo was astonished to tmd a ca-blegram instructing bim to withhold the letter until the receipt of further orders. It was too late, however, as the news of Irs recall had been officially promulgated and spread world wide, j The date of this inoperative telegram shows that it w as decided upon after his interview with Minister Porter. It will be remembered that Rudini was absent from Koine two or three days during the pendency of negotiations between Baron Fava and Secretary Blaine, and while Minister Porter was attempting ao have Minister Fava's ap. peals for delay listened to. It is there-fore plain in the light of this explana-tion and dispatch from Rudini to Im-periali that Tuesday last the Italian government became convinced that it AOI.lNrKEHl KHIt WB PLENTr.

It conversation with Diamond's brother, it was ascer-tained that counsel for the prisoner wero now prepared to produce the hammer with which Scott is said to have been armed at tho opening of the interview in the shop. It is understood that J. (i. Green will testify that on the morning following the tragedy be en-tered the bloody chamber and saw the hammer resting on tho table. He had broken the handle of his own, and, taking Scott's, used that for some time. He notified Scott's brother, according to his story, that ho had been using the tool to which no objection was made. The public and humanity will want to know now why it was that Mr. Green did not make these facts known when the whereabouts of the hammer became so pent a factor in the trial and a humaWlife was in the balance, ltisalsosajt of Green that he saw a trail of blood leading from the tool chest at which Diamond claimed to have boon standing ad(V tin'8 t'lt! fatal blow was iftalt and wh.4i will be con-strued us evidence that Jncott was the aggressor. .

The French papers discuss the F.iva affair for the most part in a temperate tone, except Temps, which refers to America's speedy action in sending ironclads in the case of ma-ltreatment of American citizens, aud adds that it is a strange contradiction for America to decliue responsibility when foreigners are involved. The Royalist Ga.etio de F'rance taunts Italy upon her own glariug vio-lations of international law from the invasion of the Pontifieial states to tho massacre in Lthiopla. P.EKI.IN, April 3. The National Zeit-un- g says: Baron Fava's note to Mr. Maine is perfectly correct, adding: "Italy is quite right in not wishing to discus!) American institutions, and iu calling attention fo the principles of in-ternational law." The Voieh Zeitung today remarks that the Italian news is reassuring, on the face of the ho-ti- le lone of America, and hopes more reliance can be placed upon tlie former than on tho bombastic utterances of Mr. Maine, who is ac-customed to hide weak reasons with strong words. Hood Ilooufh for K ansas City, April 3. Tho following telegram was sent to Secretary Maine: We, the social and benevolent association of Kansas City express the hope that iu your official dealings with the Italian government, it will not be forgotten that our form of government is entirely satisfactory to tho people who made it, aud that as to maintaining the integrity, honor and dignity of this government there is no division of .entiment among its people.

The heavy storm that swept over this section last night did considerable damage, partic-ularly to the east of New York. The storm was accompanied iu ni.iuy places by a heavy wet snow and this aided hy the high wind demoralized the wires to a great extent. A dispatch from Poughkee psie says a heavy snow storm raged in the Hud-son river valley all night. Atiout a foot of snow fell, but only six inches laid for any length of time. Tclegraphical and electric liffht wires are crossed and down iu every direc-tion. It will take a week or ten clays to get them in good working order again. The weather is now clearing snd the snow is rapidly disappearing. KosroN, April 3. Thn storm through-out New Kngland was very severe. A stiff northwest gale blew all night with heavy rain on the coast and rain in the interior. There are six-teen inches of snow throughout western New Kngland. All trains are late. The wind reached a velocity of sixty miles an hour. The harbor tide is the highest for six months. Considerable damage was done to shipping. Many vessels dragged thoir anchors and drifted ou the flats. A few schooners were dismasted: others were badly damaged by being driven against the wharves. The telegraph and telephone wires are down in every direction. Reports from Chatham state that more damage was done inland than by any other gale within the memory of man. The barometer is lower than ever before, and the tide is running very high. Water completely covers the beaches. HILL IS NOT A FREE TRADER.
