.' A despatch from Manipur,' Province of
Assam, India, brings newsof a disaster to a
force of native troops there. It seems that
James W. Quinton, the chief commissioner of
Assam, boa reeeutlybeen investigating ome
serious troubles whioh have occurred among
the native chiefs. As a result of his Investi
gation,' the chief commissioner was holding a
durbar or conference with the notabilities of
Assam with the view of arresting one of the
prominent chiefs who had been instrumental
in deposing the Itnjah. The chief commis
sioner, while pursuing his inquiries into tlie
disputes between the chiefs, occupied a camp
which "Vas garrison eft by a strong force of
goorkbas, native infantry, in the British
service. Suddenly the oamp was attacked by
a number of hostile tribes, led by their chiefs
A two' days' battle, during which some
desperate fighting took place, followed the
ounjaught or the tribesmen. Thegoorkhn
fuught determinedly agaiust heavy odds and,
according to the report, 470 ot tne goorkhns
were killed. Seven ot the British officers,
who accompanied the chief commissioner, and
thnt official himself, are reported to ' be
missing; .
The news of .the massacre was brought to
Kohima, on the Assam frontier, by two
Koorkbas. , The massacre originated in a leud
between the Ilsjah ot Manipur and a. leading
tribal chief. The liajah was deposed, and he
appealed to the Viceroy. Mr. vjuinton was
sent to settle the trouble, and Marted Iroio the
headquarters at Shillong, escorted by the
Forty-second and Forty-lourthGoork ha Light
Infantry. After crossing the frontier , Mr.
Quinton summoned the chiefs to a durbar at
Manipur, lor the purpose of arresting the
rebellions chief. "Ibe tribecinen, pretending
to obey the summons, mustered in force, and
at midnight on the day before the day on
which the durbar was to be held sudmnly
attacked the camp of Commissioner Quinton,
which lay between Kohitna and Manipur.
The attempt to surprise the camp failed, and
the tribesmen were driven back. They re
turned, however, and kept up the attack and
seigo night and id ay-for forty-eight hours.
-Finally the ammunition bf the goorkhas
gavo out, and Commissioner Quinton was
obliged to give the order, "Sauve Qui Peut"
. During the fight at the camp scouts were
seat out to try to communicate with Hhillonr,
but they never returned. The Manipur na
tives cut the telegraph wires and killed the
messengers. Fugitives report that a general
inauiucro followed the taking of , the camp.
Oue aceount of the affair reports that Com
missioner Quinton aud his staff were made
prisoners. Another account nays that Col.
Skene, the commander; Commissioner Quin
ton, with his son aud daughter, t'apt. Boileau
ami six officers were killed the nati ves ret using
to give thcra quarter. The rebellious tribe is
famous lor cuuiiin, cruelty and bravery.
Immediately npou receiving the news of
the diaster the viceroy of Simla summoned
a council. Two naiive regiments stationed
in Assam have already been despatched to
Manipur.
The Viceroy of India has abandoned his
tour and has started for Simla. Five regi

. A despatch from Mount Pleasant, Pa., says:
At about 2.45 A. M., a mob of about five hun
dred striking coke workers began rioting at
the Standard Works of the II. C. Frick Coke
Company. They destroyed some of the com
pany's property and then proceeded to cut the
telephone and telrpraph lines of the coke
company, so no warnings oonld be sent to peo
ple at Morewood. About 3 o'clock a party of
rioter between four hundred and five hun
dred strong insrehed to Morewood. .
In the meantime tbe company's employes
at the Standard Work hurriedly repaired the
telephone lines and sent word to Morewood
that the striker wonld attack the works in
three places and had a well-laid plan to de
stroy the whole plant. The deputy sheriffs
were soon in readiness to receive the attack,
The men were divided into three parties.
Captain Lauer having charge of the party
which was placed behind the big gates of the
barn and stable enclosure.
As the rioter parsed the company's store
they made sn attack upou it, and raided it as
far as they couM in a brier time, breaking tne
windows and doing other damage. They then
marched to the burn enclosure and attempted
to break down the gates. They succeeded in
doing this, and as they entered Captain Lauer
called out to them to bait or he would fire up
on them. Their answer was a rattling volley
in the direction ot the deputies, none of whom
were seriously injured.
Captain Lauer then gave the ort!er to fire.
Two volleys were fired before the mob broke
and ran. Seven men fell dead on the publio
road, and a number were found wounded.
The rioters then broke up into small groups
and made their escape in various directions.
The killed were: Paul Dohannis, Valentine
Zeidel, James Brochle, Jacob Shucoskey, John
Fuder, Antooia Rist, Cresezo Binero. Among
those most seriously wounded' are: Albert
Brozick, Casper Seman, Josef Schultz, Albert
Cidvic, Joseph Napan and Steve Kebechen.
They are all foreigners.
Tue Slavs and Huns are wild. Their gest
ures, fiery eyes and quickened language
scarcely indicate their auger. All over the
region the most eitense excitement prevails.
Great crowds are coming in on every train,
and the highways ore so thickly peopled as to
almost resemble a passing procession . It is
-openly declared by tbe strikers that they will
lave revenge for their companions. They
tave for the time being transferred their at
tention from tbe plants to the deputies, whom
'they tow they will kill. They say at the
same time that the work will surely be razed.
'Word have been passed to the strik.rs all over
the region that the shootiug was without pro
vocation, that no violence had been ofiered,
and their anathemas on hearing these reports
are deep aud strong.
Peter Wise, district master workman, ap
plied to Justice MoWilliams to arrest the
deputies for murder, but the justice refused
to do so. Wise denounced the "hooting as
cold-blooded murder, and said there was W
nrnteetion for tho workimr man. Physicians
Bay forty strikeis were wouuded, many
them mortally. .
The excitement is increasing and the pros
pects for another outbreak are growing every
uour.
Squire McCabb tonsented to issue the war
rants prayed for, charging the deputies with
murder, and the warrant were served.
Oeneral Manager Lynch, of the Frick Com
pany, and Superiuteudent Ramsay, of the
Morewood plant, are made accessories before
the fact. The deputies were arrested and
gave bail at once.
Each man was supplied with tweuty-five
cartridges, and under the command of the
superniteuueut were marched to a convenient
point
All night long the strikers were preparing
for the raid. Delegations headed by drum
corps murched to aud Iro to places of ren
dezvous. An occasional pistol thot in the
distauce wni accepted as a mysU-rioua signal.
Now uud then a rocket flasned into the air,
and from an adjoining hill top a swinging
light could be seen. The guurds did not
know what these signals meant They were
accepted as evidences of dungrr, however, and
the people at and around the various works
did not retire during tbe night.
It is said that the miners were prepared to
blow up the mine at Morewood. Such is the
latest development iuto the affair. There
were three parties of the strikers. One came
from Stoneville. A railroad watchman then
aw a large crowd of the strikers pass. They
were very noisy and were cheering and
shouting as they came along. They bad
drums and were conbtautly beating them.
Another party left Morewood curly in the
night and marched to this place. Here they
wre met 'by a party from the mines around
here. A meeting was held, and i ngreed to
take some plan of action. . It was aiirr this
meeting that the murch was made ou the
works. Some of the strikers t-ny thut they
had no intention of doing any damage. 1 hey
imply marched to the works to intimidate
those who were at work.
A STRIKER SHOT DOWN.
lie Assaulted Workman and Got the
Worst of it.
William Brown, living on Norris street,
Chester, Pa., who is one of the Standard Steel
Casting Company's striker?, received a bullet
through the heart at the hands of one of the
moulders who have taken the places of the
strikers. Four workmen who came from Jer
sey City a lew days ago are locked up lor the

like a blackjack. The assailed man fell to
the pavement, but he was oil his feet at once,
and turning around pulled out n revolver and
beggm to tire. The men started to run in dif
ferent directions, when a bullet struck Brown
and brought him to the pavement. A num
ber ot shots were fired. The four men who
were attacked ran down the avenue and were
ion out of sight. The men took refuge in a
store, and to the chief of police said they were
tKtrsued by strikers, and showed wounds.
The thief let them go, but afterwards finding
that Brown was dead arrested them. A man

etcitenient prevailed.

; A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT."
Wherein the Spurious Silver Certlft
cafe Differs from the Gennlne.
The secret service officers ' declare the
counterfeit ti silver certificate a most danger-
ous one. The vignette of Hancock ia as fine
as the original, and the lettering and lathe
work are an (met ennr at thn TreimurT note.
In fuct, the only difference is too minute to be
visible to the naked eye. In the upper left
hand and lower right hand corner of the
genuine note is a figure 2, and on its face i
engraved in character so minute that they
are not legible, except under a magnifying
glass, the word "two," repeated three times.
In tbe counterfeit the word "two" is similarly
engraved the same number of times, but in
two cases the counterfeiter has made, the
letters read "owt" But, a intimated,this
mistake is not visible without the use of a
glas.
.The discovery of the couterfeit is not a new
thing. Attention was called to it some time
ago, has beeu called to it at frequent intervals
since it appeared, but the unkuowu counter
feiters watch the Secret Service bulletins
closely. When a discrepancy was discovered
in a note bearing the check letter "A" and
the signature of C. N. Jordan, the counter- .
leiters changed the check letter to "B" and
the name of that of Treasurer 11 y ait. In this
cose, however, they let a mark whereby the
counterfeit note is more easily identified, for
the lower half ot the capital "J"in Jordan
was so entwined with the border of the note
that it could not be erased when the name was
blotted out. But even thi line cannot be
seen unless attention is attracted to it. Alto
gether, the counterfeit is as dangerous as
represented, aud the entire circulation of the
genuine may have to be called in. .
