morning. Two furnaces arc shut down
tt? a remilt and the utrlkerH ex pex-t that
they have Bympathlswra enough to spread
llio dlsaffeetlon to other depjirtnients. It
Is likely that tho four other furnaces may
lie compelled to suspend.
The strikers claim that not enough men
are employed in tho blast furnaces at
work to divjdo tho labor fairly, and that
they are not receiving wages that wil*
enaldo them to live. Two years ago tho
men cUthn that the'y were being paid
a day for work that ihev now do in 12
hours for $1.00. Kveryt)J05g Is (pilot and

It. ForHyfrie, second vice president of
the Illinois Steel "Company, said this af
ternoon that he lielieved that It would
bo necessary to shut down tho plant at
Houlh Chicago tonight because of lack of
pig iron, which is tho product of tho fur
naces on which tin- men have stopped
work. If tho mills nro shut down, 3,000
men will l>e thrown out of employment.
Tonight 7(H) of flio strikers attacked
the gate to Uio oonrjmnicK enclosure at
Si }t h and (Jroen Hay streets, and in n
struggle with tho police several were
injured. The p<?lice. although gT<'fttly

pur|K>sc ami notwithstanding the on
slaught of tlie Infuriated men they inorv
than hold their own. In a short time

otllcers were soon on the scene.
Twenty-eight of the ringhsidciv, mostly
Hohemians and l'oles. wcn? jilaced un
der arrent. In lnitli s<Tlinin?ges eight
|sdic?>ineii nnd a number of strikers
were hurt, but none seriously. A
heavy guard was plae**! about the
works of the steel company tonight and
dotiudinwiits of police placed on duty in
every port ion of tho town. No further
trouble ocmirri-d up to midnight.
The slrlki-rs have been employed hy
the coiirjtany less than a liiontb. Threi?
weeks a>A? the wag*' seJieilule was re
duced from $2.10 :i day to !fl .<5<> and

taken by an imporlahtn of Hungarians

Pile eases of Scwtard, Hulick ami ^Itvr*
sfliall. who are American citizens: aro
unlike Howler's, in that the crlxnf for
which they were convicted was tm\son.
Seward and Marshall had not l-akon ?ny

scarcely coil tended t ha t a military pom
mission cannot ad upon a case of trea
son. It is known that the royalists/haVe
for some weeks pant been indalgiiiK
very sanguine hopes of tilie later deliver
ance of all the political prisoners ?' They
confidently expected the Interference of
l')nKhind and America upon the groundi
that the military commission which
tried their ease was an unconstitutional
and illegal coxirt . 1 .titers have recent
ly been seen telling the priaoncm that
l.lioir speedy release was certain and
even going; no far as to say that the
monarchy would shortly lie restored un
der Kainlani li.v Itritlsh Interference.
11 ??v >?ver - ill foiindiil, there is no donht
that the royalists have, lieen indulging
ext ra vajj'a n t hopes of Mils sort. The
effiN't of this lias been a sudden ces
sation, during the past fortniKht, of the
previous active movement In favor of
annexation by which they hope to dls
place the Dole 4 Soveniiiient . No solid
foundation for the renewed royalist
hopes is known to exist . Neither
Thurston nor the cabinet have lent any
countenance to Ktich a theory. The
present attitude of Mr. (? repliant and
the apparent agreement therewith of
the Itritislli commissioner seem to Indi* , .
cate le<t -alone ]xillcy. A fortnight ago
very lively rumors were afloat from Ha ift
