BHENANDOAH, Pa, July 30.—A reign bf terror, compared with which scenes enacted during the riots of 1900 seem in- significant, holds Shenandoah in ite grasp tonight. Bince 6. o'clock tonight Center street, ‘whish is one of the principal streets of the town, has been in the hands of an inturiated mob. Three of the borough po- licemen were shot, one perhaps fatally. Joseph Beddall, & leading merchant and tousin of Sheriff Beddall, was brutally clubbed to death and upward ,of a score of strikers, whose names st this writing could not hé ascertained, were shot by policemen, and it Is expected that many deaths will resuit, Sheriff Beddall arrived from Pottsville at 7:46 o'clock with a posse of deputies. Assoclated Press reporter he stated that he had asked Gov- ernor Stone to send the militia. The governor wired that if the citizens of the town petition for troops he would send them. A petition is being circulated for that purpose mow. It is almost certaln that the troops will be here tomorrow. The trouble started about 6 olclock this evening, when Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddall attempted to escort two nonunion workers through the strikers’ line of pickets. The workmen dressed in their street clothes, but one of them car- ried a bundle under his arm, and this aroused the suspicion of the strikers. The bundle was torn from him and when it was found to contain a blouse and over- and beaten almost to death. eiff Opens Fire. llmmtmlmdlmndln. Ahe mob which had gathered and emptied 3 the way through the crowd reach his brother, and the jmob, belleving that he was carrylng am- munition to those inide the depot, seized ‘Ilm and beat him with clubs and billles into insensibility. He dled enroute to the [Miners’ hospital. Shortly after this the entire borough ipolice force arrived on the scene and es- deputy sheriff and his man to which had been backed into the depot for that purpose. ‘When the mob realized that their prey ‘was about to escape they surrounded the engine and the engineer was afraid to move. In a few moments, however, the police fired a volley, dispersing the crowd for & briet period, and the engineer turned on full steam and got .away. Stones were thrown thick and fast about the heads of the police, whereupon Chlet John Fry gave the order to fire. At the first volley the mob fell back and several were seen to fall. Police Fiy for Thelr Lives. The retreat, however, was but mo- smentary. They turned and with revolvers, stones, and gven a few shotguns, charged on the little band of policemen and made them fly for their lives. The policemen Aturned Iu their flight at short intervals and fired volley after volley at their mer- cfless pursuers, but the mob seemed thor- oughly infuriated and revolvers seemed to bave mo terrors for them. When the MIU ralroad crossi was reached a freight train blocked the prog- Itu- «of the police, two of whom were caught and brutally beaten. One of them, |Btiney Yacopsiy, wil die. It is believed that upward of 1,000 shots were fired and the wonder is that more fatalities did not result. More than twenty strikers, all foreigners, were shot and st least two of them will dle. Many of the merchants and politiclans are refusing to sign the call for troops, fearing that miners will boycott them after the trouble, and as the governor has made the sending of troops contingent on the petition of citizens, ,there is some doubt as to whether they will be sent. At 11 o'clock touight the streets are still crowded with people, but everything s quiet. About Forty Strikers Hurt. The dootors of the town dressed the ‘wounds of nearly forty strikers, all of whom ‘were forelgners, whose names could not be ascertained. It is sald at midnight that Mrdmdl'flmnnm Chief 'Fry received a slight wound in the hand. "Yacopsky was shot in the meck and may ‘@le. Ringheiser was shot in the hand and ‘back; not serious.

WILLEMSTAD, July 30.—All eastern ports of Venezuela, including Barcelona, have 8. been abandoned by President Castro, all of whose forees and resources are being con- centrated near La Victoria, which is three days' dietant from Caracas and which is near the mountainous district of Guarico, where the advance =uard of revolutionists under General M. _.za appeared some days ago. General Mendoza's forces retreated, how- ever, to join General Matos’ army, which to- day was in the neighborhood of El Sombrero and advancing by forced marches. Once these two forces effect a junction it is ex- peoted they will take the offensive against President Castro. The situation of the gov- ernment is far from clear, regardiess of the fact that the revolution seems lacking in decision. In a sense President Castro holds the situation, and a single defeat of the rev- olutionists would probably render him ar; biter of the country's future. Tbe president intends to leace Caracas for La Victoria Thursday. The revolutionists have reappeared on the outskirts of Caracas. The United States crulser Potomac has left La Guayra.

BERLIN, July 30.—The German emperdr in replylng to an address of welcome at Emden todsy sald Prussia mow held the foremost position within the empire and the king of Prussia had what no other German emperor'bad been in a position to acquire, namely, the necessary mastery of his own house. On this basis it was again passible to take up the old problem which his predecessors had always kept in view. Emden, the emperor sald, had never given way to cries.and lamentation, but had awaited the future in God-fearing silence, an example which many Germans might imitate. Better days were in store for the city, upon which it lay to turn circum- stances to account, while on himself de- volved the task of maintaining peace so that Emden might look forward to prosper- ous development.

The state levy last year was 7.375 mills. The county levy this year is 15 mills, as against 17.2 last year, so that if the report from Lincoln be true the total levy 1s 19.5 mills against 24 23-40 last year, or practically a reduction of 5 mills. The city levy was reduced from 33 mills to 30. Douglas county had a delegation before the state board both Monday and Tuesday. It comprised Attorney J. H. McIntosh, County Attorney George Shields and, as witnesses, F. H. Myers of the Benson- Myers firm, Thomas 8. Boyd, formerly land examiner for the Anthony Loan and Trust company, and F. J. Fitzgerald of the R. C. Peters company, these three as experts on farm Jands; Fred Wead, W. G. Ure and John N. Frenzer as experts on city lots. The testimony of these, each of the first three being obliged to go over the state map county, by county and answer half a dozen questions each from members of the board, occupled most of the first day. The second day afdavits from residents of four different counties were read, and Deputy State Labor Commis- sloner Watson called to strengthen the showin, on & one-sixth value while others sessed only on a tenth, and that it should, therefore, have a 40 per cent less levy. After the testimony Shields briefly and Mcintosh fully discussed the propriety of this course, showing that an equa board must equalize, regardless of whether or not the revenue to the state prove ade- quate. They showed how manifestly un- fair it would be to hold up Douglas county just for the benefit of the state treasury. One of the delegation says that the state board was very chilly and somewhat scorn- ful at first, but was won over in the course of the second day.

It was a genulne harmony meeting, & gather- ing in many respects like other great re- publican conventions in Iowa and yet lack- ing somewhat in the intense interest which fs generated by bard contests for place usual in republican conventions in lowa. It was a foregone conclusion that the firet five on the ticket would be named by acclama- tion. A fow days ago it was made plain that the auditor of state would also be named by acclamation. There were but three conte: for places. These were en- tirely person: The chiet interest was i an effort to have the party reverse itgelf on the platform of last year.
