Windows were smashed, chemicals spilled, and couftiderable damage done. The I men at work in the plant quickly | quitted their places. While one mob was closing the Bamford mill, another was surging Into the plant of the American Silk Dyeing and Finishing Company. Armed with dye sticks and stones, they charged through the place, driving the men from their places. Ceorge Arnold, one of the members of the Arm. was dropped inseusible with a blow on the head from a dye stick. Almost simultaneously an attack was begun on the works of Emll Geerinjc. and It was in the fight for possession of it that the shooting occurred. Two policemen were guarJing the property. n-Kmi til., nmli onmo rUtfhlnir dowu. they warned IIijhc in the van to keep away. Some one In the crowd discharged a revolver, and the police quickly returned the tire. Half a dozen shots were fired, and one striker, who escaped unidentified, was shot in tin? leg. The mob stoned the policemen. and when one of the latter ar rested one of the leaders, closed in around him. The officers swung their clubs and beat their way out of the crowd. One of the patrolmen finally secured a rifle and when be came out and faced the crowd with It, there was a general scattering.

TRANSATLANTIC LINES IN DEAL I I t. Flcrpont Mort? th? Head of th? I Steimiblp Sjadlttto ? 1U ProbabU Title the Atlantic 8+caritlM Compu, of America?The Com pan lee Accepting the Term* of Agreement. New York City.? Six transatlantic steamship lines will form the nucleut of the great shipping combination the formation of which was announced bj J. Plcroont Morgan In London. These lines are the Leland Line, which Mr Morgan already controls; the White Star Line, the American and Red Star Lines, the Atlantic Transport Line and the Dominion Line. The company will be controlled by American capital, although some of the shares will be offered to English capitalists. The purpose for which this combination has been brought about by Mr. Morgan is believed to be to provide table export and import rates on the ocean and thereby to benefit not only the American railrouds. controlled by Morgan syndicates, but also those powerful Industrial combinations of which Mr. Morgan is in control. The management of the trust will be vested in an entirely new company, independent of any steamship line in tbe combination. The name of It may be the Atlantic Securities Company of America. ' It will be Incorporated nndcr the laws of New Jersey, with a capitalisation of $200,000,000. instead of $150.000.000. as first understood. With leading motive absolutely commercial, the trust will establish its own inviolable rates for passengers and freight traffic, will arrnnge daily sailings to and from New York City, and will force more lines to join the combination or go out of business.

By the corporators' agreement dividends will be paid pro rata, according to the actual earnings of each line. According to the present laws of the United Stares, though the new owners and controllers are Americans and the combination will be American, only the American line boats and six ships of the Atlantic Transport line, now be. lng built here, will be under the Stars and Stripes. A special act of Congress is necessary for the admission of. say. British built vessels to United States register. Clement A. Grlscom, President of the International Navigation Company. will be Fresiuent or rne Aiianuc r%ecurlties Company of America (If that be the name finally chosen), and Bernard N. Baker. President of the Atlantic Transport line, will lie Vice-President or general manager.

Combination From Widely Different Standpoints. London.?What la called the "Morganlzing" of the greater section of the Atlantic Ferry Is causing much perturbation In Great Britain. The Westminster Gazette suggests It may be eutitled to the grave attention of the Government, as. In some quarters, it Is Insisted that the "vital interests of the Empire In time of war may be Jeopardized by the new arrangement." The Pall Mall Gazette thinks the arrangement gives the United States an enormous pull on the Atlantic, and t that It is not creditable to Great Britain that English steamship lines should be dominated by Americans. The morning papers discuss the shipping combination with marked differences of opinion. While the Daily Graphic and the Dally Mail display i minimiMilru unmnnarn In thu mnttpr. vvuijfumuiv um?.vhv??m ?, the Graphic believing that beyoud increasing rates and. perhaps, checking the growing speed and luxury of the Atlantic passage, the combination will have little effect, the Daily Chronicle and the Daily News see the utmost danger ahead, and anxiously warn the British public to beware. .

A large number of sympathetic women w.*re in the court-room when the jury came iu. Mrs. Weaver, as the single word "guilty" fell from the lips of the foreman, Marvin Du tchcr. remained immovable.

Others, who lunl followed the second trial closely, had seen the close ruling of the court ami had studied the jurors, were confident tiiat :be verdict would be guilty. The community is divided as to whether, after the first trial of the Rochester society woman, sh..* should have lieen tried again when her intent to commit a crime was so questionable.

C.?The War Department's disinclination to allow General Chaffee to stir up the Mahommedan Moros in the Island of Mindinao has resulted in the stopping of an ex pedition which was started by General Davis to penetrate the island and cap ture a number of murderers. The War Department's order stop ping the expedition was m?nt to Gen eral Chaffee and the General replies that the expedition has already proceeded eight miles on Its march and that it has fought two engagements, Press dispatches show that Ma Jot Moore, of the Twenty-seventh Infantry, while out with a small party hunting for water, was tired upon at louij rang?. Lieutenant-Colonel Frank D Baldwin with a battalion or troop* and a mountain gun, went to the assistance of Moore's party and drove off the Moros. who lost seven men. The Urinf was at 1100 yards range. The Moros, who are Moslems and fanatical, were flying red dags at theii villages, meaning that they intend tc tight to the uttermost. Later Sultan Pualo and a force of na tlves attempted to reoccupy the ground gained by the Americans, but the Moros were forcibly dispersed. I>atto (Chief) Ganasi, has sent a delegation to the American commander tendering the absolute submission o! the men under bis control. Brigadier-General Davis, in command at Zamboanga, Island of Mindanao, bai acknowlegded the recept from Wash ington of instructions to withdraw hit troops from Mindanao, but he urges that, owing to the present state ol affair*, the withdrawal or toe troops will result in the absolute loss ol American prestige among the Moros in Mindanao. Ilia orders, however, arc explicit. Lieutenant-Colonel Baldwin aud his forces are beyond the reach of the tele, graphic instructions from Washington, Hoping to avoid a religious war, which the Moslems would probably be glad to wage, the President desires tc exhaust all other means of effecting the capture of the Moros who murdered American soldiers, before resorting tc arms. Meanwhile, however, that por tlon of General Davis's command which was selected for the Journej will still be held in readiness, aud all preparations un to the point of actual departure will be made.
