w» st; nostill Negotiations For Settlement cf the Chicago Strike Are Fruitless. Latest Hitch Is Sa.d to Be Refursl of Company to Take Back Union Strikers. Opening cf the State Street Line Was the Occasion tor Violent Outbreaks. Chicago. Nov. 24. —At the conferences held last night between the of ficials and hoard of directors of the Chicago City Railway company and icpresentatives of the strikers no set tlement was reached, and it is unceriain when the trouble will be adjusted. Neither side to the controversy would give out any information, but it is said the latest hitch in the negotiations is the refusal of the company to agree to reinstate all the union men who went on strike. While negotiations are now at a stan istill. another effort will be made to bring about a peaceable adjustment of the struggle. Fierce fighting in which the police used their clubs freely and twice their revolvers, marked the opening of the State street cable tine by the Chicago City Railway. As far as can be ascertained nobody was seriously injured, although there were many broken heads among the rioters who came in contact with the clubs of the police. If any members of the mob were injured by the bullets of the police and non-union men on the cars, they were carried off by their friends before the fact was known to others. While the fighting was going on in the streets the usual conferences wore in progress and propositions and counter propositions were passing back and forth. The hardest fighting of the day took place at Forty-first and State streets, whore a mob hiding behind a fence stoned the cars, which were guarded by officers The police were over the fence at once and fired several shots over the heads of the fleeing strikers. Many of the mob who were slow of foot were overtaken by the police and i soundly rapped with clubs. Few ar rests were made, the officers contenting themselves with scattering the crowd. Conductor J. P. Prenter was in charge of the frnGi whioh ,

The cars were attacked at the same point on the return trip and a number of shots were fired, the mob scattering like a flock of chickens.

No at- 1 1 tempt has been made to run cars on this line since the commencement of the strike. POSITIVE EVIDENCE Plot to Wreck Cripple Creek Mine Now Scams Clear. Denver, Col..

A REIGN OF TERROR Indiana Capital City Being Overrun With Burglars. Indianapolis. Nov. 24.—Has Indianapolis become the rendezvous for criminals of a desperate and determined order and are there numbered among the men who have pulled off the numerous robberies recently reported the shrewdest cracksmen of the country? This is the question the people of this city are asking themselves today and this is likewise the question which confronts the local police and detective departments and which these of ficials must solve. The many bold and determined attempts at robbery which have as founded the city have at the same time gone far in establishing in the minds of the residents of the city the conviction that a reign of terror has been inaugurated by the crooks. Men and women are fearful of leaving their homes at night and the operations of the criminally inclined now harbored in this city has shown that any interference with their plans or methods of robbery will be met with determined resistance and that the men will kill , if their escape or booty can only be secured through the taking of life.
