Litres in the middle nod northern coal-field- s

of the Schuylkill, Lehigh, Wyoming, andLackawanna valleys are becomir literallyalive with communist The recently organized nuiguu oi Labor association, whxh basnow attained a membership of seventy thousand in the coal and iron regions of Penntyl-vama, has openly announced its recognitionoi, ana am nation wun, me socialists association, which has begun to make its id'fluence and tower perceptibly felt in va-nous ways in the sections of the Statewhere the labor element is particular- -ly great and strong. la this part oithe Lackawanuu valley the commun-istic element has shown a dispositon to overthrow and control the government, the chiefmunicipal oihcers beng members of the So-cialists ab0tii:tion. In fact, the object cf thecommuniMs has become o htrougly apparentthat the Uomun Catholic church, which wieldsa greater lntlatce in this part of the Statethan the authorities.has raised its voice ujjai.ist the Knight of Labor and km Jr. u H'sj-- ions.

and of theKnig'uti of Ltbor and SicialiHU associations.' The communiMU are holding daily and night-ly meetiags m remote and secluded patt. oftie coal country, where the most terribleplots and counterplots for the punishment oftue pnenu are discussed and perfected. Bofar, nowever, nothing serious Las come outof the gatherings; but so frequent and fiercehave been tbe threats of violence that a well-defin-

feeling of has begun tomake itself very niacifest in the communitieswhere the police are inadequate to meet anysudden or organized communistic uprising.The coal and railroad companies are reorgan-izing and their police and de-tective corps, ni there are evidences of theearly approach of riotous inthe towns where hundreds of dischargedtrain haudi and miners have assembled, andworn allegiance to the banner of the Knights

of Labor.In the Schuylkill region, where the com-

munists have organized a large,and armed rille corps, the andHeading coal and iron company Lai addedtwo hundred and forty men to tbe alreadylarge coal and won police department. Col-onel Wyncotf has been put in command ofthis little army of experienced and deter-mined men, who are armed with Spencer re-peating rides and (bolt's revolvers. Until theinauguration of an aggressive movement nponthe part of the communists, this corps of po-lice will be employed in guarding tue bridgesalong the line of the Philadelphia and Read-ing railroad, which tbe Knights of Laborhave threatened, in kuklux notices, to de-stroy.

The striking miners of theregion, who represent a veiy wicked

class of socialises, have been guilty of numer-ous flagrant and sanguinary outrages, and,estimating from the number of hideously pic-tured "oflia-notice- s" which have been re-cently sent to different persons who have insome manner incurred the hatred of the MpllyMaguire element which has begun to raiseiu hydra head again it is believed that pre-parations are being made in the "dark andbloody ground" district for a revolution sometime this month. The action of the coal op-erators of the Middle coal Gelds in orderinga suspension of work at the collieries bas oc-

casioned intense dissatisfaction among allclasses of mine operatives, and the Minersand Laborers benevolent association and theMiners National association will probablyorder a general strike in these districts wherethey have unless the com-panies offer some compromise arrangementas to work and wages. As there is no possi-bility of the coal kings altering their pro-

gramme as now arranged, the only alterna-tive for the miners and laborers would appearto a "stand-out.- " The chances ate, that ifthe men strike, they will be locked cut of themines for an indefinite period. The Social-ists association is taking advantage of theunsettled times to stir up dissension and re-bellious disturbances, and it is generally ad-

mitted that the. culmination of the presenttroubles must be tragica! id the extreme.

From what can be gatheied from the off-

icers of the Knights of Labor association incautious conversations upon the subject ofcoinniuni.-mi- , it i q iite evident that theKnights are planning for tome mischief at nodistant date. Krom information gatheredfrom a person iu high authority in the organization, it is tafe to say that there will be anDrganizd and systematized movement

ly the Knight? some tiiae witLmthe next i : nth, and perhaps earlier. Themovement will be thoroughly perfected, sothai there :;.ay be no possible hitch at anypoint, and the signal for the labor revolt willte sounded in taoo sectionsof the country where the Knights of Laborhave existeaee. Tne afmxuation will planand prompt LSe scheme, but the oher laboranions are expected to in the un-

dertaking ami help carry it to a successfulend. The uprising will bo started in theeastern Suites, and upon its inauguration itwill imniediit?ly spread through

Whereas. Under the present constitutionof tbe State no other mode of election can behad; be it therefore

liexolved, I hat it is the desire, and thisnvention heteby requests, that the ensuing

It seems that Anderson, who but recentlyarrived here, was induced bv one MaiorMarks to call on Sherman, at his office.

When the proposition was first suggestedto Anderson he stoutly declined to go, butlater in the day, when under the influence ofexhilarating beverages, he consented to call.

Sherman, whether accidentally or other-wise, had his counsel, present,and as eoon as Anderson entered propounded the question :

"Have you ever seen me before?" Ander-son replied, with a significant smile, that hethought he had, and that Sherman ought toremember when and where. 'The latter then proceeded to draw Anderson out with questions. Meanwhile, Ander-son espied a snort-han- d writer in the room,taking notes, and then rising in his chair hedeclared that he would say no more in anysuch place, and under any such dishonorable

He denounced Sherman in strong language,and swung his cane menacingly over Sher-man's head.

At Xew York.New York, May 30. The observance of

Decoration day of 1878, beginning early inthe morning and ending with ceremonies inBooth's theater this evening, was perhapsmore elaborate than-an- y of the celebrationsin recent years. The great feature of the daywas the parade of the first division of theNational Guard, but the exercises in the different cemeteries, and the ceremonies attending the decoration of the different statuesand monuments, were also extremely intere6ting. In the lower part of the city an al-

most perfect holiday was kept. The different exchanges and courts, and, in fact, almostall tne places ot public or private business,were Ci03ed, and the streets wore a desertedaspect, although the scene was somewhat en-livened by a liberal display of bunting onthe government and larger private buildings.I he decorations ot the Washington nionuraent, at Union square, were of the most profuse and elaborate description, includingpalm trees from Florida. The statues ofLincoln and Lafayette, in the same sauare.were made hardly less attractive with fragrantflowers and evergteens. The Montgomerymonument, at St. Paul's church, aod thetomb cf the historic Lawrence, in TrinitychurvU-yar- were tastefully adorned. A

and seamen from thenavy-yar- d visited the grave ot Admiral Far-rag- ut

early in the morning and marked itwith a profusion ot flowers. Occasionalshowers, which marred somewhat the splen-dor of the procession, only made the flowersbloom (lie brighter and give forth a fresherfragrance. Tue procession marched downFifth avenue, past the Worth monument,where it was reviewed by the governor, accompanied by his staff, and the mayor andcommon council. The column then marcheddown Fifth avenue to Fourteenth street, toBroadway and to Warren street, where itpassed in review before General Sherman,who was accompanied by General Hancockand) Admiral Irenchard. the parade wasthen dismissed and tbe posts ot the GrandArmy proceeded to the various cemeteries todecorate tbe graves ot their dead comrades.Generals Sherman and Hancock were frequently cheered along the route. Dispatchesfrom neighboring cities, and from the southand east, show that Memorial day had a verygeneral observance.

lhe closing ceremonies in connection withDecoration day took place in Booth'stheater Every seat was filled, andthe stige was brilliant with gentlemen inmilitary uniforms. General Lloyd Aspinwall presided. After prayer by Rev. HenryWord tieecher, Ueneral w. 1. bnerman addressed the assemblage. After the orationby General Banks the exercises terminated.

At CJettjebnrjf.Gettysburg, Pa., May 30. The an-

nual tribute to the national dead at Gettys-burg was paid under circumstances of thegreatest interest. Not since President Lin-coln dedicated the cemetery has it beengraced by so many distinguished citizens. Asearly a:! Vednesday morning strangers beganto arrive, and by night the hotels were crowd-ed to overflowing. The weather to-da- y wasfine. Flas were everywhere displayed, andthe streets were thronged with visitors. TuoOhambersburg Grays arrived this morningabout one o'clock, after twelve hours march.They are a guard of honor to PresidentHayes During the forenoon the rush of

strangers continued. Five large ex-cursion trains, from Mifllin, Harnsbuig,Lancaster, York and Washington brought atleast five thousand p?rsons, accompanied bya number of bands of music. The morniagwas spent by the Presidential party iu view-ing the battle-fiel- d, visilinj? Round Top,Culp's hill, Cemetery hill, and other promi-nent points, under the guidance of GeneralCrawford and Colonel Batchelder. Aboutnoon the President returned to the residenceof Mr. M'Pherson, where he remained untilthe beginning of the memorial exercises.

The grand procession moved to the ceme-tery in a blindiog rain, which lasted untilImi Yi nolzr. Afc tiro o'olooW tlio lioluxuil,headed by a platoon of the Grand Array oftuo Republic, advanced. They were followedby General Butler and General Slayton andladies in carriages, escorted by the Chambers-bar- g

Grays. The rear was formed by com-panies of the Grand Army bearing bouquetsto be placed upon the graves. The proces-sion moved along Baltimore street still un-der a drenching rain, and as it enteredthe gates of the cemetery the band playedthe Dead March. A few minutes later thePresident and other distinguished personsarrived in carriages, and for a few momentsthey stopped to admire the national monu-ment, while the Chambersburg Grays and theGrand Army placed bouquets on the graves.Regardless of the storm, thousands of per-

sons thronged the cemetery. The stagewas aurroundeded by a very densecrowd, which could scarcely bepeneti-ate- by the Presidential party. Theceremonies were opened with prayer by Rev.M'Leod. General Slayton introduced Hon.Benj. F. Butler, who delivered an eloquentoration on "The Private Soldiers in the Warof the Rebellion." Curtis, ofPennsylvania, was next presented, and spokeeloquently, eliciting much applause. AsHon. Edward M'Pherson introduced thePresident of the United States ringing cheersarose, aud President Hayes spoke as follows:

Fellow-Citizen- s The battle of Gettys-burg will probably always be remembered asthe battle which did more than any other todetermine the result of the great civil war inthe United States. The honored dead whofought and perished here will therefore be for-ever held in special and grateful remem-brance. The great martyr of the conflict wasAbraham Lincoln. He, by his immoratalwords, epoken here, has indissolubly linkedhis name, fame and memory with the battleof Gettysburg. Lincoln gave his life, andthe brave men who responded to his callgave their lives for the Union, for liberty,and for a stable constitutional government.

rThey believed that our institutions wereequal to any emergency, and tnat tney oughtto be maintained at the cost of propertyand even of life itself. If our assemblingin this place shall fitly honor themwhom we wish remembered with gratitude,it will lc because in holding these scenes,and contemplating the example of the heroeswho made Gettysburg illustrious, we shallbe able to estimate more wisely the value ofour country and her institutions, and bebetter prepared for the duties which, underProvidence, have devolved upon us. Let ushere give heed to the words of AbrahamLincoln; let us here highly resolve thatthese dead shall not have diedin vain; that the nation, underGod, hall have a new birth of freedom, andthat a government of the people and by thepeople not perish from the earth.

applause. 1

Attorney-Genera- l Devens spoke forcibly andeloquently on the subject of the battle of Get-tysburg, and Secretary M'Crary also made abrief address. The ceremonies were concludedwith a benediction. At six o'clock in tbe

the Presidential party left Getty-bur- g

by a tpecii'l tram for Washington, aiuid en-

thusiastic cheers.

Sadyk'ssuccessor, is represented to be honest and pa-triotic, but too old to have much influenceHe is known to be in favor of an alliance withGreat Britain.

THAT BRITISH PROTECTORATE.The Times this morning, returns to the

subject cf a British protectorate over AsiaticTurkey, and says: "A constitutional ministry in Turkey is at present a mere dream.There must be some permanent center offorce, to control by its attraction tbe shiftingelements of personal will or caprice. Thatcentral force, it is to be hoped, the Porte willconsent to accept at our hands, and thus in-troduce the only principle of stability into itsgovernment ot which it u not capable. Acorrespondent says: "There is little reasonto doubt that our government is determinedto exercise a control in Turkey which will, toa greal extent, place the actual governmentin our own hands. JNot that the sultan s authority is to be interfered with, but we shalltake care that under a neutrality reforms andgood government shall assume a reality.''

FEARS OF AN OUTBREAK.It is reported that fears are entertained at

St. Petersburg of an outbreak or hostile col-

lision at Constantinople. No such apprehen-sions are felt here. It is thought that Russia is merely bargaining for the utmost possible concessions before the final agreement ismade. It is said that England ought to meetthe pacific overtures of Russia by the recallof Minister Layard, who is not in sympathyw ith the present attitude of Russia and theBntisii government.

A dispatch trom bt. fetersburg, dated lastnight, is in the same strain. It expresses afear that the war patty at Constantinoplemay produce a crisis, and says the appoint-ment of Prince Lobanoff m the place of General Ignatieff was intended to lessen thisdanger, and broad hints are now being thrownout that the British government might givesome corresponding proof of its pacific dispo-sition. These hints furnish a probable ex-planation of the present apparent hitch inthe negntiatna- - Tmnhlu Iron tb TurVa ioaltogether improbable.

A telegram last night says taatthe impression generally prevails in Constantinople thatpeace is assured. The threatened troublebetween the lurks and the Montenegrins isthe result of the aggressive action of the lat-ter, who crossed the river Zeta and occupiedthe bights commanding Podgoritza after theconclusion of the armistice. The Turks nowdemand the withdrawal of the Montenegrins.

GERMANY S CONGRESSMEN.A telegram from Berlin says that Bismarck

and Von Bulow will represent Germany inthe congress. Von Radanitz, nominallyminister to Greece, but permanently em-ployed in tue Russian foreign office, will takenotes and make daily reports of the proceed-ings; and Tiby, formerly secretary of theFrench legation in Berlin, and now ministerat Copenhagen, is expected to draft the firstreport embodying the decisions of the congress. It is believed in Berlin that Greecewill be invited to sead a representative to thecongress.THE CONGRESS QUESTION DEFINITELY SET

TLED.An extra edition of the Globe, published

this evening, contains the following: "Wehave good reason to believe that the assembling or the congress is dehmteiy settled.England and Russia have arrived at an un-derstanding, subject to the decision of thecongress, on the following points: Bulgariato be divided into two provinces the onenorth of the Balkans to be under a prince.and the other, south of the Balkans, but nottouching the Ause&n sea, with a christiangovernor and a government similar to that ofan English colony and the Turkish troopsto permanently quit Bulgaria. England de-plores but will not oppose the retrocession ofBessarabia or the annexation of Batoum, andreserves the right to discuss in the congressthe international arrangements relative to theDanube. Russia promises not to further ad-vance her Asian frontier, or to take any in-demnity in land, or to interfere with theclaims of English creditors. The question ofpayment is to be discussed by the congress,which will also reorganize Thessaly, Epirusand other Greek provinces. Bayazid is to beceded to Turkey, Turkey ceding the provinceof Tarn to Persia. Russia agrees that thepassage of the Dardanelles and Bosporusshall remain in statu quo. England will sug-gest at the congress that Europe reorganizeBulgaria, and will discuss the question of theRussian occupation and passage of troopsthrough Roumania."

New York, May 30. General AntonioMaceo. the well-know- n commander-in-chie- fot the Cuban patnot forces, arrived here today from Jamaica. He is accompanied bytwo members of his staff, Brigadiers ArcadioLeite Tidal and Juan Rios Rivera. Thegeneral has been wounded twenty-on- e timessince the beginning of the campaign, andnow carries in his body four bullets. He saysthat during the past six years the patriotsnave been constantly promised aid trwm here.but up to the present time they have receivedabsolutely nothing. The strength of thepatriot army to-da- y is not much over onethousand men, but they are well-arme- d anddrilled and in tine condition. Ihey nave opposed to them over forty thousand Spanishtroops, who give tbe patriots not a moment 8peace. The general asserts that there is notthe slightest truth in the report of his surrender. He says: "I have made no termswhatever with the Spanish government.am commissioned here by the provisionalgovernment, and by the courtesy of GeneralCampos was permitted to pass through hislines, lhe war must continue, there isnow no more congress or standing government, and the affairs are under the directionof Manuel Calvar, the head of the provisionalgovernment. Officers are now in Jamaica onimportant commission from Manuel Ca-lvar." The general, while protesting againstthe report of his surrender, could not wellexplain why it was confirmed by all the Havana journals. To the inquiry: "If it is notindiscreet to ask, I would like to know if youanticipate remaining in mew York tor anylength of time," Le replied that "I reallycannot tell at present. 1 have some lmportant business to transact, but 1 do not thinkthat it will detain me very long."

BODY NXATCHIXU.

The Dead Body of Uoa. J. S. HarrioiDiscovered in the Disseetinc-Boou- m

of the Ohio Medical CollegeArrest of the Janitor Charged

with the Robbery of theCrave.

Cincinnati, May 30. Considerable ex-

citement was created here to-da- y by the ac-

cidental discovery of the body of Hon. J. S.Harrison, who was buried yesterday iu thefamily vault at North Bend, in the dissect-ing rooms of the Ohio medical college. Abody had been stolen at North Bend withinthe past week, and a son of Mr. Harrison,accompanied by a friend, was seeking for itto-da- y among the medical colleges of thiscity. It was not known that Mr. Harrison'sbody had been taken until hia son recognizedit in the room of the college. The janitor ofthe college was arrested.

It appears that a young inau named Ddied at North Bend la&t week, and yes-

terday, while the funeral services at Mr. Har-rison s grave were progressing, John Harri-son and George Eaton thought that they ob-served appearances about Devins's gravewhich were somewhat suspicious. After tbefuneral they caused an examinationof the grave to be made and found it hadbeen robbed. Preparations were at oncemade to prevent a similar desecration. Mr.Harrison s grave and coffin was inclosed in awall of brick, the whole covered with a slabof single heavy stone set in cement. TheBlab was left open to allow the cement toharden and a watchman placed in charge.Last night these men came to Cincinnatiin search Devins's body, procured a searchwarrant for all the medical colleges, and ac-

companied by a detective, they first visitedthe rooms of the Ohio medical college. Theyfound nothing, and were about leaving, whenone of their number noticed that a rope at-tached to a windlass was down the chute,and evidently had something attached to it.Upon drawing it up the naked body of a manwas discovered, hanging by the neck, witha cloth over.the face. As the hair was gray,they said it was not Devins's body, and weroabout to leave. The detective suggested thatthey uncover the face and see who it wa?.They immediately recognized Mr. Harrison,and John Harrison staid with the bodyuntil a coffin was procured and the bedyplaced therein and removed t the under-takers. The janitor was at once arrested, andit is reported ht that several persons atCleves, near North B?nd, have also been ar-rested, charged with complicity in the out-rage. The relatives and friends of the de-ceased now in this city express a determina-tion ti prosecute to the full extent of the 1 iwall guilty of this act of vandalism, or acces-sory thereto. The excitement at North Beudis intense.- - Mr. Harrison was a son of nt

Har.ison, and widely known.
