Va.,, Sept. 2.—The sit- uation 18 the Flit Top coal fleld is ex- tremely critical and the skirmish between the strikers and the guards at the Poca- the has hontas collieries this morplng, after firing of the mi by the strikers, greatly enraged the miners, from the fact that a number of their side were severely injured. Adjutant General Baker, who has been in this section for a few days look- ing over the territory, left last midnight for other flelds, informing the operators before heleft, however, that he thought the presence of the militia unnecessary at that time. The outbreak of this morning, however, will probabty cause a change in his mind, and it Is thought here that be- fore tomorrow night troops will either be in the Flat Top reglom or enroute. Tonight the Pocahontas Collieries company have the fire in' their mine practically extin- guished, tut that tompany has doubled ils force of guards, & ‘another attack Is feared at any hour. Many shots have been fire nonunion miners going to and from v{ork in the Flat Top fleld. CHARLESTON, W.

Clement, high license option candidate, was running very close to General John G. MecCullough, republican, of Bennington. The returns from 200 cities and towns out of 346 give the following vote for governor: General Jobm G. McCullough, republican, 239; Joo C. Sherbourne, prohibitionist 052. The best idea of the changeover in votes of the democratic and republican parties I8 shown by the comphrison with the vote of the same 200 cities and towns in 1900, which gave Stickmey, republican, 39,065: Senter, 14,889, all oths 2,200.
