ALL QUIET AT HAMILTON

Alter a Night of Riot, in Which Many Were Hurt and Twenty Put in Jail. Hamilton, Ont., Nov. 26. Yesterday was marked by nntumal quiet on the streets contrasted with the riotous scenes which have marked the strike of street railway employes herb. Some cars ran during the day and evening. In the outlying districts some stones were thrown and blank cartridges were exploded under the wheels, but there were no hostile demonstrations. The soldiers camped In the armory under arms awaiting n riot call and the police reserves at the city liadd probably contributed towards the peaceful day. The officials of the railway company do not believe the trouble Is nt an end, however. The persons who were injured in the riots of Friday and Saturday are recovering. Saturday night the mob had its own way for a few minutes and smashed cars, assaulted non-union men and generally produced anarchy. Then the troops and police went in and drove the rioters off, capturing twenty who were held and Jailed, and scores who were rescued by the rioters. More than 100 were wounded, but none seriously.
