STRIKERS IN A RIOT. SAVAGE BATTLE FOUGHT AT SOUTH CHICAGO. Striking Furnace Men in the Illinois Steel Company's Milla Attack Fellow Employes-Charged by the PoliceSevere Battle Follow*. Rioter* Are Routed. Four hundred striking employes of the Illinois Steel Company at South Chicago created one of the most serious riots in the history of the town Tuesday afternoon, when they broke down the gates and attempted to drive all the workmen from the rail mills, blast furnace and machine shops. A series of hard tights ensued in each of the buildings. A riot call was turned in. Capt. Jenkins with nine policemen arrived on the scene in a few minutes. The handful of policemen attacked the rioters, who were armed with iron bars, coupling pins, clubs and stone® Although outnumbered, the police drove the rioters outside the main gate, where a savage fight occurred, in which all the police officers were more or less injured. Probably 100 of the rioters ' MB STRIKERS DRIVE FURNACE MEN AWAY, had their heads cracked. Twenty-six of their number were arrested, all of whom were more or less hurt. Many wounded rioters were carried off by the crowd. But for the determined fight made by the gallant little band of policemen, the officials of the company believe the mob would have destroyed thousands of dollars’ worth of property as soon as the men who remained at work were driven away. The entire works is shut down, with the exception of the plate mill, which employs 600 men. Three thousand men are out of employment. The company’s plant in Joliet is also affected, about 1,500 men being out there. After the riot at the mills and the arrest of twenty-six of the ringleaders, another mob of about 1,000 gathered about the police station, and the police were confronted with the possibility of an effort on the part of the friends of the strikers to rescue the men who were under arrest. Sergeant Van Pelt, who had just returned from the scene of the riot with a small detachment of men, took in this situation at a glance and ordered his men to disperse the mob. which they did without meeting with any great resistance. Additional men were at once sent for, and at midnight a strong cordon of police guarded the approaches to the station at Eightyninth street and Exchange place, while | 125 bluecoats stood guard over the mills. The trouble all started over the strike of about thirty barrow men, or ore w heelers. who work at what are known as the south furnaces. These furnaces, two in number, are used to reduce the crude ore to the form of pig iron and are wholly independent of the steel mills. These men struck Monday afternoon because the company refused to grant them a raise of wages. Tuesday morning they made their appearance in the yards, and. going to the four furnaces at the north end of the works, drove away all the men there, about 400 in number. These men, the officers of the company claim, did not wish to strike, but quit work through fear of personal violence. This shut down all the furnaces, throwing about 700 men out of employment. The men who are avowedly on strike did not number more than 125 at most; the rest who were forced to quit perform other duties about the 1 Hi MA-Kn, fewPOLICE CLEARING THE STREET, furnaces and are more skilled and better paid than the wheelers. CONDITION OF THt CROPS. Drought la Relieved and Corn Planting JNow Well Along, Reports as to the condition of crops throughout the country, and the general influence of weather on their cultivation and growth, as compiled by Prof. Moore of the United States Weather Bureau at Chicago, show that generally the past week has been very favorable. In the Northw’estern States much needed, and, for the present, ample rains have fallen, which, with unusually high temperatures, have been exceptionally favorable for the germination of seeds and for the rapid growth of all vegetation. The heavy rains of the previous week have caused delay in farm work in portions of the Carolinas. Virginia and Maryland; rain is badly needed in Michigan, Ohio and greater portion of Pennsylvania. Corn planting has progressed rapidly during the week in the Northern States, and is generally reported as promising in the Central and Southern States, although considerable damage has been done by cut worms in some sections. Cotton planting is about finished in the southern portion of the cotton region and is nearing completion in the northern portion; it is coming up to a good stand and cultivation is well advanced. Winter wheat has been unfavorably affected by warm, dry weather in Missouri and Ohio; Illinois reports are generally favorable; in Tennessee it Is beginning to head. Tobacco plants are .

reported plentiful in Maryland; In Kentucky the beds have been injured by insects, and in Ohio the dry. warm weather has retarded growth- Fruit prospects continue excellent. Following are ths telegraphic reports from various States: Illinois—Abnormally high temperatures with rainfall lacking, except in west central and northern sections, in the lattet heavy show«r». Corn planting progressing rapidly in all sections, early planting up. good stand and gr w ing finely. Wheat, oats, rye, clover, timothy, potatoes and gardens in excellent condition in rain belt, otherwise growing slowly; fruit setting unusually heavy. Indiana—Very warm, sunny weather, only light local showers; crops advanced •lowly, only heavier rains needed; much com planted and coming up nicely; cut worms and army worms causing injury. Wisconsin —Plentiful supply of rain received, which, with the high temperature, caused rapid growth. Vegetation more advanced than usual for the season; grain all sown and coming up nicely, corn aud potato planting well along; pastures in good condition and stock turned out Minnesota —Abundant rains, with arnph warmth and sunshine, have phenomenally advanced all vegetation; considerable fax and corn yet to be sown; other crops mostly all planted; small grain and grasses have a good stand and healthy color; apple and plum blossoms plentiful. lowa—The week has been unseasonably warm, with copious showers; corn plant- i ing, though delayed, is well advanced, with increased acreage; small grain crops; pastures and meadows show vigorous growth. South Dakota —Frequent copious showers, well distributed, with temperature considerably above normal, produced marked development and growth in all vegetation. Field crops, gardens, grass and fruit unusually advanced and al! doing finely; injury from local bails slight. Kansas—Warm, with good rains in southern and eastern counties greatly improving all crop conditions. Much corn outside of rain limits not germinated, while grass and small grains are at a standstill, and fruit is dropping. Nebraska —Warm, showery week unusually favorable for the growth of all crops Small grain generally excellent; rye be ginning to head in southern counties; core planting has made rapid progress anc much of the early planted is up and in fine condition. Michigan—Dry and very warm week. Farm work far advanced for the season; light scattered showers very beneficial, but more rain badly needed; spring seeding nearly finished; corn planting beginning and potato planting becoming general. Missouri—Good rains except in southeast section and all crops greatly improved; oats and winter wheat considerably dam?.gAd by drouth and chinch bugs in some counties, but generally doing well. Corn coming up well; considerable complaint from cut worms. Ohio—Excessive warmth and dryness retarded growth of wheat, oats, grass, potatoes and tobacco plants. All cereals looking fairly well, but needing rain badly; corn planting advancing, early planted and potatoes coming up. Excessive fruit bloom. Indianapolis. Ind.. Populists will plan, a full municipal ticket in the field at the next city election. The Missouri Senate passed the St. Louis Safety committee election bill as a substitute for the Filley bill. Tuesday, June 11, at Des Moines, has been agreed upon as the date for the lowa Populist State convention. The Kentucky Republican State Com n.ittee has fixed June 5 as the day for the State Republican convention. The Mississippi Democratic convention will be held at Jackson Aug. 7. The executive committee is for silver. 18 to 5. Ex-Congressman Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, has returned to the practice of law. though renominated by the Populists. The New York Assembly concurred in the Senate amendment to the bill removing the New Y>>rk police magistrates—yeas, 86; nays, 17. The Utah constitutional convention adopted the constitution as a whole and disposed of some minor business preliminary to adjournment. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, says he believes an international monetary conference will be held not later than November, and, if so. he is to attend. Judge Edmunds, of the St. Louis, Mo., criminal court, has instructel the May grand jury to make a thorough investigation of alleged election frauds last NoSenator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, introduced his resolution for a committee of five to investigate charges that the Councils of Philadelphia sell franchises. Referred to committee. Gov. Matthews, of Indiana, says he would take the Democratic nomination for President if it were offered to him; but he is not a candidate for anything in the sense of seeking the nomination. Thirty-five of the fifty-eight Democrats in the Missouri House at a caucus adopted a resolution favoring the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. The whole trend of the caucus was to precipitate a discussion which will probably result in a State convention. The Michigan Supreme Court has handed down a decision that the act passed by the present Legislature authorizing the appointment by the Governor of a new Detroit Board of Health is constitutional. The court declares the new board is entirely warranted in drawing upon the treasury of Detroit for money. The Missouri Supreme Court rendered an important decision affecting the Australian ballot law. The Kansas City grand jury asked for the ballot boxes to investigate alleged ballot frauds. The request was refused. Giving the grand jury the right to inspect the ballot boxes, the court holds, would violate the secrecy of the ballot as well as being an infringement of the constitution.

THE RISE OF WAGES. GOING UP FASTER THAN THEY DECLINED. Republicans Force*! to Admit the Benefits of Tariff Reduction—Good Clothing ChcaiKV. let Wage, of Makers Not Reduced —European SenluS’.nt, Glowing Dawn of Trade Revival. The rising tide of prosperity is now coming in so strongly that the Repnbli cans are compelled to get out of its way and in doing so to admit that business is rapidly reviving under the Wilson free trade tariff bilk As late as the Sth ult., the New York Tribune was still telling its readers that the wage-earners were in revolt because they ev>uld not get "the old rate of wages." and that "every week’s payment brings home to them the fact that they have been persistently cheated, and that the Democratic policy was not intended to, and in ’he nature of things, cannot maintain the wages formerly paid." "* only are wages not being restored, said the Tribune, but "the more severe competition with the labor of other lauds only makes it more clearly impossible to restore them.” But the Tribune could not suppress the news of better times, and before the end of April admitted to its readers that "in a good many establishments wages have been advanced." On May 2 it again admitted that business was reviving with surprising vigor, but expressed great sorrow at the fact that the wage-earners should insist upon sharing in the revival. After declaring that '•there seems to he a prospect that the woolen mills in Providence and the neighborhood will soon be shut down, on account of a controversy with the workers regarding wages.' the Tribumcontinued: "It is most unfortunate that this great Industry, which has txvn sc seriously depressed for the last two years, hut has now begun to revive with surprising vigor, and has shown most gratifying progress in the effort to compete under new and trying circumstances with woolen manufacturers of other countries, should now tie arrested by serious labor difficulties. It is to be hoped that better sense will prevail, and that for the time questions of wages may la- deferred.” I textile i In and near Providence paid no attention to the Tribune’s advice, but continued In revolt against McKinley wages. <Mher Republican newspapers are still asserting that wages are not advancing and that it is folly for wageearners to expect higher wages while Democratic conditions exist. This is the position of the Philadelphia Press and the Boston Journal of Commerce. Regardless of the fact that several hundred thousands of wage-earners (m ostly in textile mills) have had their wages advanced under the Wilson bill and apparently in blank ignorance of the fact that strikes for higher wages were then on in several scores of woolen mills, the Boston Journal of Commerce said, late in April: "The advance of wages iu one or two woolen mills, and the advance in some . of our cotton mills, gives many the impression that there is to be a general advance all along the line In these industries. This is a great mistake. • • * It is folly to presume that woolen manufacturers can live and operate : their mills on a closer margin. We , have no doubt that our woolen would like to pay more for labor in their mills if the present prices warranted it. but they do not; neither will they as long as we have so low duties on goods imported, it is hoped that the help in our woolen mills will understand this fact, and that no strikes will take place in that circle of business.” As a matter of fact nearly all of the reductions in 1893-4 have been restored and often th- laborers are striking for as high wages as they were getting when McKinley struck them in 1890. The Republicans and protectionists cannot, with their tittle brooms, sweep back the rising tide of prosperity. If they were honest they would at once subn r :>s :hev will bo forced to do later, that wages have advanced-:aster since this year than at any time during the last thirty years. A Ten-Dollar Suit. Under the new tariff the American people ar-’ able to get good clothing cheaper than ever before. The admission of wool free did not damage the domestic wool-growers, for there is a better demand for their product now than there was before the repeal of the McKinley tariff. More woolen mills are In operation, the mills -ire employing more hands aud turning out a greater product as well as a better quality. D«mestic wool is used largely for mixing with the foreign article, and the improved condition of woolen manufactures promises well for our wool-grow-ers. The new tariff Is an attack on shoddy, which, under taxed wool, constituted a large part of the clothing of the masses in this country. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter has had one of its editors investigating the matter, and he finds that clothes are so cheap sluee the tariff has been taken off wool that a really good suit can be bought in New York for $lO. This expert reports as follows on one «ucli suit which he examined critically: “A strictly all-wool, sixteen-ounce. Clay diagonal of American make, costing the wholesale clothier sl.lO a yaru. The suit was made up and sold to the retailer for $7.50, leaving him a very handsome margin of profit when sold at $lO. The suit was cut on the same stylish line used for their higherI priced garments, and was trimmed, lined and sewed Id a neat and service-

able manner. When It !• nn lerst -od that woolens coating as high as sl. and in a few cases sl.lO a yard, and heavyweight woolens sometimes as high as $1.25 per yard, are used in the manufacture of $lO suits, it is plainly apparent to any one acquainted with the quality of such fabrics that a stylish, serviceable and in every way good suit can be retailed at $10.” None of the reduction in the price of eiothing has been made by cutting down the pay of those who make it. Wages have not been reduced in our woolen mills or clothing factories, and more persons are employed iu both than were there when the new tariff went into effect. —Atlauta Journal A Sbaky Single Plant. Mr. Depew thinks that 1 e has discovered the w inning issue for his party next year. It is simply "hard times.” He would have no other—neither the tariff nor currency, except as incidental. His line of reasoning is short and direct. Everybody is "agin" hard times Everybody wants good times. Therefore bold the Democratic party responsible for hard times. "Whoop it up" for Harrison tor McKinley. or Morton, or Reed) and good times—and there you are. The formula is indeed simple—rather too much so. It supposes that the people are simple enough to have forgotten the long period of terribly hard times from 1873 to 1878 under Republican rule. It requires them to forget the depression. the strikes and lockouts. the million idle workmen, that led the voters to turn Mr. Depew’s party down and out in IN*) aud again in 18t<2_ It ignores the sacking of the Treasury during the Harrison-McKin-ky reign, and the monetary panic of is;*.;. due to the Sherman Republican Silver-Pun base act. But there is another and a mere potent reason for thinking that Mr. Depew’s single plank will be too shaky for use next year. The times are improving. They are growing rapidly better. Commerce increases. Industry hums. Wages rise. Prices are up. Crops promise well. If this improvement shall continue, as there are many indications that it will, where would the calamity howlers be then? We advise Dr. Depew to look earnestly about tor another issue.—New York World. Cannot Be Suppressed. Possibly the tariff question may have to take a back seat for a year. No one. however, who knows anything about the question and the great extent to which public sentiment has been aroused will make the mis’ake of thinking that it can always be kept on a back seat. Tens of thousands of intelligent men have seen ’he Iniquity of the whole tariff system and are waging a war upon it that cannot but be successful. In public and private debate, in homes. In labor unions, in granges, and even In church and society gatherings, debate will go on until Congress will be compelled to settle the question in the only way possible—by aliolishiug the obnoxious, unjust and corrupting system of tariff taxation. Thousands of our liest citizens consider the tariff question to be of far greater importance than the currency question, and it is by no means certain that the tariff question can be set aside for even a year. Iron Workers' Wages. Until the other day the only increases of wages in tile iron industry which had been reported were at the verybase of that industry—the advance of 15 per cent, for 15,000 coke workers in Western Pennsylvania, and an increase of about 10 per cent, for the employes of the Minnesota Iron Company in the iron-ore mines of the Vermillion Range, The upward tendency is now beginning to be manifested at the iron furnaces and the manufacturing plants. At all the furnaces in the Mahoning Valley wages are to be increased by 15 cents a day, and an addition of 10 per cent, has been made ar the Phoenix Iron Works. Meadville. Pa. Our Republican contemporaries still strive to ignore this wages movement, because they have continuously and strenuously asserted during the last twelve months that it could not take ■ place so long as the present tariff should remain in force.—New York Times. An English View of the Income Tax. The rich people of America, whose ■ fortunes are largely invested in such a manner as to escape with a nearly invisible minimum of taxation, fought the income tax from the outset with a I naked frankness of selfishness which none of our impoverished lords of the i manor would have ventured to display I In resisting Sir William Harcourt s budget of last year. The astonishing decision of the Supreme Court, that to exact a percentage on rents is direct taxation, but to exact a percentage on salaries is indirect taxation, and hence permissible, gives an appropriate point to the entire controversy. There Is no monarchical country in Europe, not excepting Russia or Turkey, where wealth enjoys the immunity from responsibility to the state and the general public that is given to it by the foremost of republics.—London Saturday Review. "Business revival,” says the Boston Transcript (Rep.), "is here, and daily grows mo-e pronounced But it is a sign deserving particular lotice and also the consideration of the student of economics, that instead of wages being the last to experience the benefits of recovery, they have begun to rise coincidently with the beginning of trade revival." Old Kaiser Wilhelm had a soft voice, and spoke in a soothing tone that gave pleasure to every hearer.

As a result of eating onions purchased from a huckster, Herman Wilson, aged 7, died at Jeffersonville, and two other children. Elmer Wilson and Paul Mozier, are dangerously ill with little hopes of recovery. During the day the children purchased several bunches of onions and ate them with salt. Soon they were taken ill and physicians were puzzled at the symptoms. Emetics were administered and it was found that they had overdosed their stomachs, but as this alone would not be sufficient to produce death, the physicians are inclined to the belief that something of a poisonous nature must hav« been mixed vitb the onions.

Ixist July the Episcopal Hospital admitted a woman whose pale and ema> ciated face and racking cough proclaim, ed ht r the victim of consumption. She gave hvr name as Mrs. Sallie G.

She went home to her family a broken, disheartened woman with death staring her jn the fr.ee. That was the beginning of the story; the end was told by Mrs. Bowen, who no longer expects to die, to a reporter who visited her home. “The tirst symptoms of consumption came in the form of terrible sweats, both night and day.
