The wagons, guarded by five police wag- I ons, filled with bluecoats, and two omnibuses crowded to the fullest capacity | with policemen, were on the return of j a delivery of supplies to down-town provision houses, after one of the fierc-i est days in tho strike of the beef packers' teamsterc. Many of the drivers, who are officials at the packing houses, were cut and bruised from head to foot. The police were in even worse condition. At the very entrance of the stock yards "Wednesday night, after all seeming danger had passed, George June, an employe of the Anglo-American Packing Company, was struck by a baseball bat and knocked from his wagon seat. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and it is believed he may die. Many others were 6truck at the same time by a shower of stones, but the police were too wornout to offer resistance. More than a dozen batt'es were fought during tho day between the rioters and the police and the hospitals are overcrowded with the injured. Attack on Imported Negroes. A pitched battle occurred between a crowd of negroes imported from St. Louis to take the place of the striking stockyard teamsters and the strikers at Forty-fifth street and Center avenue early in the day, in which six negroes were badly inpured, two mortally. The subs were driving wagons when they were assaulted. Many of their assailants were armed with ice pike poles they had seized from ice wagons, and in the fight the negroes were badly lacerated by these weapons. One man had his thigh broken and another was injured internally. The imported negroes number about fifty. May Effect Compromise. After four hours of consultation early Thursday, in which the question of recognition of the union was thoroughly discussed, an agreement regarding wages and hours was decided on. The representatives of the packers conceded the demands of the strikers on these two questions, but were - obdurate in their refusal to recognize the strikers' union. It is believed that a compromise may be struck on the question of wages and hours. DISGRACEFUL CHURCH SCENE. Howling Mob of Women Attempt to Break Up Wedding Ceremony. One of the most sensational scenes ever witnessed in a church in Worces' ter, Mass., was enacted at St. John Roman Catholic church there Wednes? day when Mary DonaTier, a teacher in the public schools of Worcester, was married to Maurice Quinn, a dentist, of Brocton. As the wedding party entered the church it was met by hisses from one thousand women, who had apparently gathered for that purpose. A detail of police was present to protect the bride and groom, but they were entirely powerless to maintain order. The women rushed by and around them close to the wedding par ty and gave vent to their feelings in no uncertain manner. The demonstration grew out of the attempted shooting of QuinD several days ago by Miss Bertha Condon, who asserted Quinn had betrayed her under promise of mar? riage. NAMED BY PRESIDENT.

Police and Striking Termsters Havo Another Round?Mob Was Two Thousand Strong. A 'Washington special says: The long drawn out fight over the Philippines government bill in the senate was brought to an end late Tuesday afternoon when the republican bill was passed by practically a party vote. On the final passage McLaurin, of South Carolina, voted with the repub.icans, while Hoar, Wellington and Mason voted with the democrats against the bill. On the test vote upon the adoption of the minority substitute, which provided for a period of qualified independence with a large amount of self-government at the end of thig period, the recognition of the absolute j independence of the islands, the lines were drawn about as aDove wuu mc exception that Senator Morgan voted against the minority bill. The house will pass the bill prepared by the republicans of the insular aiairs committee, which differs in some particulars from that which the senate has passed, and then the differences will be settled in conference between the two houses. It is said that the senate bill will stand in all its essentials, j The Detailed Vote. It was shortly after 5 o'clock when the bill was passed by a vote of 4S to 30.

The debate on the measure had been in progress for seven weeks and two days. Just at the close of the discussion a sharp exchange of words occurred between Mr. Dietrich, of Nebraska, and Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, in the course of which the former reflected caustically upon the Colorado senator. He was. called to order, his remarks were reati and he was declared to have been out of order in uttering them. He withdrew his statement, thus ending the controversy. GARROTING IN PORTO RICC. Four Murderers Go to Their Doom a La Spanish Plan. Barnage Acevedo, Jose Torres, Ra mon Troche Ocde'no and Juan Torre?., the four men found guilty of murder, robbery and outrage committed in October, 1898, at Guayo, a suburb of Adjutas, Porto Rico, were garrotted at Ponce, Tuesday. They were all put to death within fifty minutes. All the condemned men confessed their crimes. Two of them aided the executioner to adjust the garrots and forgave him for putting them to deatn.'' One of the prisoners resisted tie adjustment of the cloth over his face. He said he wanted to die with his face uncovered. Finally, arter nrteen minutes' struggle, he was subdued. There were only thirty witnesses of the execution. The men were executed for the murder of Antonio Delgado uel Pino and the outrage of the women of his household near Adjutas on September 30, 1898. Lightning Slays Three Boys.

JOLIET IN FLOOD'S GRASP. Lives Lost and Great Property Damage From Waters in Illinois City. Joilet, 111., was in the grasp of the worst flood in its history Tuesday. All the lower portion of the city was under water, and it is rumored that several lives have been lost. The police have the names of Eddie McGovers, Lizzie McGean and a little girl named Kennedy, drowned. Several families had narrow escapes and the police rescued many in boats.

A special from Amsterdam. Holland, says: It is reported here that Mr. Kruger has declined the facilities offered by Great Britain for his return to South Africa, but has accepted Queen Wilhelmina's proffer of a Dutch vessel to convey him to South Africa when he decides to return there. WOMEN NOT EXEMPT. Female Government Clerks Must Not Criticise High Officials. A Washington dispatch says: Secretary Root has just ordered the discharge from her position in the war department of Miss Rebecca J. Tayor. a woman clerk whose offense is that she took occasion to criticise the speech of the president.

RANKS OF STRIKERS SWELLED With Virginia Coal Diggers Out the Total Army of Idle Men. is Increased to Approximately 170.000. . d * A special from Wilkesbarre, Pa., says: The hanging In effigy of J. Pierpont Morgan in one of the streets of South Wilkesbarre by a crowd of men and boys was the only incident to n.ar the siii.-ness of the Wyoming Valley Saturday morning. After the effigy had lcol hanged the crowd cheered and pelted the object .vith stones until the police came along and dispersed the throng. All the mining towns surrounding the city are very quiet. The news frob Washington that President Roosevelt could not find his way clear to effecting peace between the miners and operators was received with genufne disappointment. It had been been strongly that the president would be able to find some means of opening up a way to peace. Saturday marked the end of the fourth week of the total suspension of c.?al mining and the miners aad their employers are farther apart than over. Virginia Miners Out. The soft coal miners of the two Virginias. 20,000 strong, struck Saturday to enforce their demands against the operator*. All business in the mine j region Is tied up, and in a few days the ! stagnation will be complete. With approximately 150,000 men out , in the a.' thracite region, the strike in the two Virginias makes an army of 170,000 miners battling for better conditions. Roosevelt Confers With Hanna. A Washington special says: Sat- j urday the president had a long confer- j enc? at the white house with Sena- i Hanna on the coal strike. The president conveyed to Mr. Hanna the idea that he would very much like to do something toward setting the coal strike. Nothing definite, however, was decided upon. The president also sent for Carroll D. Wright, the commissioner of labor, to get his views on the situation, and also as to what might prop- i e?-ly be done by the government look- j ing to a settlement of the controversy, j It is probable that other conferences will be held and the president kept advised of the situation. He will be in readiress at any time to extend aid If it is found that he can be of service in ^ettJing the differences that exist be- . twecn the operators and the miners, j REVOLVERS, KNIVES AND CLUBS, j * 1 Wielded Promiscuously in West Vir- j ginia Republican Convention. Telegrams from West Virginia tell i of bloodshed and desperate fighting j between the factions of the republican party of that state over the senatorial contest. Senator Scott, who is vice chairman of he republican national i committee, is being bitterly opposed ! for re-election by Colonel J. L. Cald- ; well, a millionaire republican of Hunt- j ington. There have been many clashes : between supporte-rs of the two men, j the worst of all occurring at the sixth district senatorial convention at Welch Saturday. Revolvers, knives, clubs and other weapons were used during the progress of the convention's deliberations, and as a result Colonel J. M. Fuller, one of the wealthiest and most influential citizens of Wayne county j - ? ?- 3_ X J 1 lies at a notei prooaoiy raiauy nijurcu, ; and a dozen more persons have black 1 eyes and sore heads.

Two Speeches Made on Canal Project in Senate Thursday. In further consideration of the isthmian canal project the senate Thursday heard two speeches, neither of which was completed. Mr. Hanna spoke in favor of the Spooner amendment, conferring upon the president authority to purchase the rights of the Panama Canal Company, if a valid title could be obtained; otherwise he shall decide upon the Nicaragua route. Mr. Mitchell supported the construction of the canal by the Nicaragua route. NELSON APPEALS TO ALMIGHTY. Exclaims in Senate: "Gc-j Deliver Us P'rom Tri-s's." After transacting some routine business and discussing for a time the bill to relieve shippers from the London dock charges, during which Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, exclaimed. "God deliver us from trusts." the senate. Saturday, resumed consideration of the itsthmian canal project. TO PROTECT PRESIDENT. Consideration of Interesting Measure j is Begun in the House. The house Tuesday entered upon the consideration of the bill to protect the president cf the United Sta es and for other purposes, known as the antianarchy bill. The house committee reported a substitute for the senate measure. I Mr. Ray, of New York, chairman of ! the judiciary committee, who was in j charge of the bik, argued that the sen ate bill was unconstitutional. * ^ BRITISHER AND SPANIARD Comes to Washington as Represent* lives in Diplomatic Service of Their Respective Governments. Two important changes in the diplomatic representatives in Washington were announced Thursday. The Hon. Michael Herbert succeeds the late Lord Pauncefote as British ambassador and Senor de Ojeda succeeds the Duke de Arcos as Spanish minister. I Notice of Mr. Herbert's appointment | simply confirmed the judgment of offi! cials as to the succession and is welI corned by them. At present Mr. Herbert is first secretary of the embassy I at Paris, but with the rank of minister [ plenipotentiary. In very few instances | does the British government employ an official of such high rank in the of' flee of secretary of embassy. me cnange in ine opaui&u icgaciuu here came as a distinct surprise to all but the intimate friends of the Duke d'Arcos. He came to the United States as the first minister after the war and naturally his position was a very delicate one, requiring the exhibition of infinite tact to-avoid unpleasant incidents. He was very successful in his mission, while socially his relations have been very pleasant. It is understood the change is attributable entirely to the retiring minister's desire to secure the best possible treatment for his impaired vision, which has caused him much and growing concern. Therefore he has secured a transfer to the Spanish legation at Brussels. There he will be as near as practicable to an eye specialist who has already undertaken his treatment at inconvenient intervals. Senor de Ojeda, who succeeds the Duke d'Arco, comes to Washington with excellent credentials. He was secretary of the Spanish peace commission at Paris and is at present minister to Tangier. WANTED BRYAN MENTIONED. Lively Wrangle of Platform Committee at Meeting of Indiana Democrats. While the Indiana democratic state convention, which was held at Indianapolis Wednesday, was remarkable for its lack of discord, candidates for all but three of the offices being chosen by acclamation, there was a battle royal in the meeting of the committee on resolutions. A number of the friends of William J. Bryan were very much In earnest in ravor or tne insertion m the platform of a plank indorsing him and the Kansas City platform. The majority of the committee was against any such indorsement, saying that it considered it out of place at the present time to inject Mr. Bryan's name into the state campaign. The fight lasted well into the night, and it was nearly noon before the report ot the committee was ready for presentation to the convention. The Philippines plank also created much discussion, the committee being called upon to consider all sorts of propositions in behalf of the Filipinos, some of them being in favor of immediate and complete independence. It was only after hours of argument that a plank was agreed upon. The state ticked nominated is as follows: Secretary of state. Albert Schoonover, of Attica; attorney general, W. E. Still well, of Princeton; state auditor, James R. Riggs, of Sullivan; state treasurer, Jerome Herff, of Peru. JOB PRINTERS GET RAISE. For First Time I" Score of Years Employers Grant Demands. For the first time in twenty years, the job printers of Chicago will have their wages raised simultaneously in all the job printing shops in the city. Over 1,800 men will be benefited by the raise. The printers have been getting $18 a week for their work and demanded $19.50. This was given them. They have had one apprentice to every ten men and the employers have been anxious to cut this down to one for every five. On this point the two parties could not agree and the matter will be left to arbitration. CHURCH SHOWED RESENTMENT. Arkansas Governor Taken Into the Fold by His Home People. Governor Jefferson Davis, of Arkansas, accepted the invitation of the Baptist church of Russellville, his home, and joined that church Sunday. The governor's friends claim that this is a vindication of him by his home people against the action of the Second Baptist church of Little Rock, in withdrawing fellowship from him. It is alleged by the governor's friends that th eaction taken by the Little Rock church was the result of resentment for the part he took in the race for United States senator. FIVE PERISH IN FLAMES. Big Bank Block in Saratoga Burns and Causes Loss of Life. Fire early Monday destroyed the Arcade and the Citizens' national bank block and the Shackelford building at Saratoga. N. Y.

Goes Up in Smoke. TEN LOSE LIFE; THIRTY HURT Many of the Victims Were in StraitJackets, or Bound Down Upon Beds, Making it Impossible to Rescue Them. _______ I At Chicago, Monday afternoon, nine men and one women were killed and I about thirty persons were injured in a firo whirh risstrnvpri tho sanitarium conducted by the Saint Luke Society, at the corner of Wabash avenue and ; Twenty-first street. The society occupied the building which was long known as the Hotel Woodruff and for a brief period as the Hotel Lancaster. By far the greater portion of the pa- 1 tients received in the instution were 1 those seeking cure from the drink hab- 1 it and those who were addicted to the use of drugs. When the fire broke out there was 1 on the fifth floor a number of patients suffering from deliTium tremens and ' some who were deranged by drugs. Several of these were strapped to their 1 beds and it was found impossible to ' same them, so rapidly did the fire spread through the building. The fire originated in the basement of the building and spread rapidly to ' the upper stories through the elevator shaft. The blaze was discovered by ' a passing grocer. He shouted to several men to give the alarm, and to alarm the inmates of the building. Several hurried to do this, but by the time they reached the first floor of the ' .. ? m nr.

The fire department was on hand quickly, but could do little toward saving the he pless patients. MITCHELL SEES WRIGHT. j Strike Leader in Conference With United States Labor Commissioner. President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers' Union, arrived in New York late Monday afternoon, hav- I ing been sent for by Carroll D. Wright, United States commissioner of labor, who is in the city investigating the an- , thracite coal miners' strike. Mr. Mitchell called on Secretary Ralph M.

When he left Mr. Mitchell said: "I have but little to say further than ( that I have talked with Commissioner .

President Mitchell was asked. "No. I understand that Commission- < er Wright was simply seeking infor- ] mation for an official report, under the , law." ] "Did Commissioner Wright explain < to you President Roosevelt's views con j cerning the trouble?" , "He did not." < LIBBERTY BELL AT CAPITAL. | Thousands Take a Look at Glorious < Relic of 1776. 2 mr. r ~ TK7 r> o V? ? r? rr_ , i ne ijiutrty uen auiveii iu naouiug- * ton Monday en route to Philadelphia 1 from the Charleston exposition, where 1 it has been on exhibition. The arrival of the bell was marked with brief patriotic exercises and thousands of people passed before the car throughout I the day and viewed the bell. A number of children were lifted on to the car, while little bunches of flowers from other children placed on the car were carefully laid on top of the bell. 1 The public schools closed at noon to 1 permit the children to view the bell. 1 Many of them took advantage of the 1 opportunity and carried flowers which they placed on the bell. Reuresenta- 1 tives of the Daughters of the Ameri- s can Revolution visited the train late 1 in the afternoon and carried floral ] tributes. During the exercises the minute men of the district, uniformed in colonial uniform, took position in 1 front of the car, where they remained x through the day. The car remained in r Washington over night and proceeded to Philadelphia at 5 o'clock Tuesday c morning. c GUNS USED IN RIOT. f Strikers Have Battle With Non-Union Workmen in an Illinois Town. At Edwardsville, 111., Wednesday, l riot broke out between several hun- 1 dred striking molders and non-union employes of the American Steel and ^ Foundry Company and as a result five t men, two negroes, non-union workers ; and three white strikers were shot, * two of the latter fatally. * NINE DIE IN BOAT COLLISION.

The Political Rupture at Cleveland, Ohio, Threatens a Serious Republican Breach. A Washington special says: President Roosevelt and the chairman of the republican national committee, Senator Hanna, have practica'ly severed the cordial relations which have existed between them since Roosevelt became president. Their quarrel is the result of charges filed against federal officers in Cleveland, Ohio, by Representative Burton, of that district. The president is determined to investigate. Senator Hanna Is strongl* opposed to such a course. Friends of both say a serious break is threatened. Burton, who is one of the strongest republicans in congress, has refused to stand for renomination because his choice for chairman of the Cleveland republican district committee, Paul Howland, was ignored. He filed with Roosevelt charges of pernicious poetical activity against four federal office holders, who are Hanna's men. Mr. Roosevelt was very much surprised and impressed by the formal charges, but promised no action at the time. He sent for Senator Hanna and asked him if the four men were guilty. Senator Hanna replied that he had grave doubts about it. The president said he was inclined to investigate and the senator urged him strongly not to io so. insisting that it was not a violation of orders for federal officeholders nf that class to interest themselves in politics. The conference lasted an hour and broke up with the president resolved to bring an investigation, in spite of the wishes of Senator Hanna. There is no telling where the Rooseve'.t-Hanna split may end. Republicans regard it as a very dangerous breach. This particular difference may not be the beginning of the end of their pleasant relationship, but a good many republicans fear it may be the entering wedge that will precipitate a serious factional fight. Judge Burton has gone to Warm Springs, Va., for a rest. Advices from there tell of a host of telegrams from Cleveland ureine him to reconsider his letermmat'on to retire from congress, and it is said that Mr. Abel, whose elevation to the chairmanship has caused the trouble, has gone to see Judge Burton to try to smooth things over. CONVICTS SLAY GUARDS. Desperate Prisoners, With Rifles, Escape from Oregon Pen. A special from Salem, Oregon, says: Two desperate prisoners?Harry Tracy, sentenced to twenty years, and David Merrill, a thirteen-year man? serving sentences for assault and robbery, committed in Multoonah county, escaped from the penitentiary Monday after killing three guards?Frank Ferrell, shop guard; S. R. Jones and Ben riffany, fencemen. The prisoners employed in the founIry were marched to work at 7 o'clock and had entered the molding roopi with Shop Guard Ferrell inside and Guard Stapleton in an adjoining room. Without warning Tracy and Merrill ippeared with rifles. Tracy aimed at Terrell, when Ingram, a life prisoner, attempted to reach and disarm Tracy, instantly Merrill shot Ingram and Tracy shot Ferrell, the latter dying almost instantly. Traey and Merrill scaled the wall near the northeast corner stockade by a ladder. From outside the wall Guard Jones was shot :wice and killed. Tiffany was also shot and he dropped from the fence, engaging the fugitives in a fight. His jun was soon empty, and he was taken :>y the convicts and used as a shield while they madeJfor the timber. When >ut of range of the prison they stopped ind deliberately killed Tiffany, then escaping into the timber. A large force of armed men started immediatey in pursuit. ANTI-ANARCHY CILL PASSED.

Much feeling is expressed in Charleston over recent reports from Washington that W. D. Crum, a negro physician, is one of the leading candidates for postmaster of Charleston. When the name of W. L. Harris, who was named as postmaster by President Roosevelt, was voluntarily withdrawn, it was stated with a degree of certainty that a democrat would in all probability get the position, although since that time it has developed that the president will hardly go out of the republican ranks to select a i_ i suuauie man. i President Hartzog Vindicated. President Hartzog has received complete vindication of the charges preferred against him by the students of Clemson college. The board of trustees of the college has declined to receive the resignation of Professor Hartzog from the presidency. Following the troubles between the faculty and students at Clemson college last month, President Hartzog put his resignation in the hands of the trustees. The students had made certain charges against him, although the charges were subsequently withdrawn. The trustees held a meeting the past week at which they unanimously declined to accept the president's resignation. President Hartzog went before the body and thanked the. members for his vindication received at their hands. Dog Saved Valuable Property. The barking of a watch dog, which aroused the keeper on Castle Pinckney, the new government supply station, prevented a fearful conflagration one night the past week. The nois? awakened Captain Whitely, and as he rushc-i out he found fire raging In the oil house, where 15,000 gallons of kerosene were stored. There Is no fire apparatus on the little island, and the Whitely family, including two small girls, had to tackle the flames. The wooden casks, in which tin cans of oil were stored, caugh fire and, taking desperate chances, the Whitely's rolled these out into the sea. By heroic work, which was carried on at great risk, all of the blazing casks were finally under water. * * * tm First Game Law Violator. The Western Carolina Game Association, with headquarters at Greenville, has the honor of bringing to justice the first violator of the game laws who has been convicted in this str?te in many years. The law prohibiting the sale of quail until 1905 has been flagrantly violated by hotels and restaurants. William Serving, the proprietor of a restaurant in Greenville was convicted before Magistrate MfSee of selling quail, and fined. He appealed to the court of sessions, and now that court has confirmed the magistrate's fine. This conviction and punishment may give heart to sportsmen in other parts of the state and will have some effect on the game dealers next winter. Making it Warm For Swindlers. United States pension agents, working along the coast country, are rounding up the sharks who have been rolling in wealth for many years. It was expected that many of the cases would be brought to trial at the present term of the federal court in Charleston, although the conditions do not appear to hp riDP enough for wholesale raiding. While many of the unscrupulons agents have been driven out of business the past year, others are still at work, but their efforts to fleece negroes are not as easy as heretofore. Estimates of the amount of money stolen from the government by the illuse of the penslbn system are extraordinary large, and the robbery got so common that the department determined to wipe out the thieves at any cost. In most cases the work has been carried on by negro attorneys and agents. Many white men, some of whom are of high standing, have been implicated, and at the final show down sensational developments are expected. * * No Medals For Fakir. An exposition sensation developed in Charleston when it was announced that the board of directors had withdrawn the gold medals recently awarded Arthur C. Jackson, claiming to lJfe commissioner from Alaska. Jackson represented himself as president of the Alaska Geographical Association, but when information regard ing this organization was sought from the Smithsonian institute it was stated that no such society existed. Three weeks ago Jackson applied to the exposition company for permission to remove his exhibit, saying that he had to fill an engagement at the Crystal Palace in London. He was not allowed to remove his display. After this he suddenly disappeared, leaving an assistant in charge. A few nights ago the assistant secured small boats, which were moved up the river, and while everything was quiet at the Ivory City the exhibit was taken away. No trace of it has been found. When this fact was reported to the board prompt action was taken, the result being that the medals were . revoked. Jackson's conduct was a great surprise to everybody connected with the exposition. * * Is Violating State Anti-Trust Law. Arguments were submitted to Judge Siraonton in the United States circuit court at Charleston the past week on the question of remanding the suit brought by the state of South Carolina against the Virginia-Carolina Chemical < - ... ... Company to the state court for triaL The point was raised by Attorney General Bellinger that in doing business in South Carolina the chemical company is openly violating the anti-trust law recently passed. While the company was chartered under the laws of New Jersey it had to file papers con- ^ forming with the state regulations, and in this the issue is raised that the anti-trust law is violated. Th?. case has not yet come up for. trial on its merits. When suit was . } brought in the state court the Virginia-Carolina Company had it r?moved to trie federal jurisdiction, and efforts are now being made to have It -4 remanded. A great deal Is involved, : and counsel for the defendants allego that they would have little show if left /; to the mercy of state courts, which would have to act in conformity with *'*? the anti-trust law. Other concerns are brought into the trial, although the chemical company is put down as the real defendants in the cause. Talk of McLaurin'* Successor. Published announcements from .

I Value of Charleston Show. I While stockholders in the South^^f Carolina Interstate and West Indiaa^M exposition will not be paid anythlntpttj on their contributions, statistics gath-v^Ij& ered by the newspapers of the city in- ' dicate that all branches of business 1 flourished during the six months the | show was on. Retail merchants report that their trade increased nearly 100 per cent, and every hotel and boarding-1 establishment coined money, the amounts in most instances running Car into the thousands. A statement made recently by thep Consolidated Railway Company shows that this concern cleared $1U0,000 net profit in six months, after expending thousands of dollars in building new* lines and in electrical equipment. When these facts are conaideredJS the business people begin to appro- Ka date the value of the exposition, and * V# they still figure on what might hare S been had the attendance come up to ' expectations. Very few reports have been made of losses incurred in any S* enterprise established for the show?i season.
