rhe sarious s,reet car strike.

CHICAGO, July 1.-The West Division
Street Car company sent out three cars
on its Madison street line early this
morning, but the drivers were CON-
pelIed to return to the barn. Fully
LOCO strikers and citizens were assem- :
bled near the car barns, and when the
cars came out they were met with q vol
lev of bricks and stones, which sblvered
the window psnes and caused other
wreckage about the cars. Several car
drivers and conductors were struck by
the flying missiles. a deputy sheriff
was on the platform of each car, and in
the excitement one of the officers drew q
revolver and threat ened TO fire, but de-
sisted, 1t is claimed that the company
will endeavor to start the cars under the
protection Of the city police sud trouble
is feared.
At11 80 this morning three cars, with
police and deputy sherlffs aboard, were
started down tow on the Madison street
track and got through without difficulty,
except occasionsl hootlngs. On the re-
turn trip. however, the cars were met by
a mob Of four or five thousand at Jefter-
son street. which followed them, hurting
stones, bricks and all kinds OF
missiles, smashing windows and
nearly wrecking the cars. The police
were poWerless. At Union street all
sorts of distractions were thrown on
the track Several ringleaders were ar
rested at Ann street and an enormous
crowd had assembled sud the air was
filed with stones ss the car tried to make
its way through. Several policemen
were injured end the cars were thrown
from the track and overturned.
The three csrs badly wrecked, under a
heavy guerd of police, were finally
this afternoon taken To the companY's
barn and the riotous demonstrations
have ceased, although great crowds oil
| excited men still throng Madison street
| No further trouble is expected except In
event of another attempt to start the
cars

ARnneH RuNAWAY.

One of the moS exciting and
frightful runaways that has happeHs4
on the streets Of Emporia for lsDg Sime
occurred on Commercial IstreetsH Monday,
last. The horses that did the running
and frightened two or three more teams
so that they too ran away, belonged %
William Myers OF Americas, and had
Just been driven TO town By h. @. Put
man. who lives near the same tewn.
The team is small, the horses being little
larger than ponies, and Mr. Putnam had
left his horses with Mr., Myers 70 work
to the piow while he droYe the ponies to
the city. Arriving In the city he Wa9
Just in the act Of tying the horses 70 Q
hitching post In front OF
Wilcox's grocery when one Of
the animals began q ferocious kicking
and got one leg over the wagon tongue.
The horses then began 90 run. taking
diagonal direction across the street HI.
Putnam who had q halter In his hand
when the team started, endeavored %
stop them but could not. They struck the
sidewalk IN front Of the Singer sewing
machine office. Here one Of the breast
straps broke letting down the wagon
tongue which scraped along the street q
a friehtfuI rate. Marshal White made
several brave attempts to stop than and
would have succeeded but fog tbs tongue
of the wagon which came nearly strtk.
ing him. The horses ran down the sids-
walk scattering dry goods boxes and
clearing the walk Of people.
Mrs. George q lady living north
of the city was so frightened that
she ran directly In front Of the horses
and would have been run oyer had not

into the store of E. II. Perles. In front
! of Mr.. Perles' store the tongue ran into
the iron railing and against the door

wagon and looslng the horses. They
then ran across Sixth avenue TO the lamp
post on the opposite corner. One en-
deavored to 60 on one side OF
the post and the other on the
other side. The lines catching on the
post checked them very suddenly, throw
| ing one of them on the sidewalk, while
the other jumped INTO the rear end Of
VIM. Haynes dray wagon, turning 1t
over and throwing MIR. Haynes from the
seat onto the tongue and doubletrees.
| Mr.. Haynes horses then began to run,
dragging him almost half way ecrosS
the street and bEuising him consider
ably. The dray wagon struck the tele-
1 phone post in front of Caldwell's store
| and threw both of the horses sprawllng
| on the sidewalk. Mr.. Haynes got up
1 in the meantime and was ready TO take
charge of his team. The spring seat was
badly broken, but no injury was sustain
| ed by the team. The horse, however,
/ that ran into the dray had
its left thigh broken, and will
probably have to be shot to put
an end to its misery. The horse Of DR..
McCandless also started to run. but was
happily stopped. The two runaways Ct
tracted a very large crowd on the stress
aud caused more excitement than any
accident that has occurred for some
l time

FredonIa Citizen: The average reader
of Democratic newspapers has for years
read so much of the criminalIty of man
being an editor and postmaster at the
same time that he believes that such q
combination is very wicked. The
trouble with the average Democrat Is
that he has run away with the wrong
impression. The rule YVES only meant
to apply to Republican editors and post
masters. The Democratic editor and
would-be postmaster should have i'm
pressed his brethren with the distInc-
ton, but this. like much other good ad-
vice, is probably too tardy to benefit
him

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
RTTREAu on TEE MrUr

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 20. rs.
Sir: Respectfully acknowledge your
request for my resignation, communi-
Gated me on the 18th inst, / have the
honor to state that, after careful consid-
Grafton, l am not satisfied that duty Of
propriety require me at this time 70 re-
sign my Office. Were any malfeasance
or misconduct alleged, or belIeYed 10
exist, l am sure you would have done me
the justice to have an impartial
examination and give q full opportunity
OF defense before demanding my peslg-
nation. Nor do / understand from you
that the request is made for such reason,
but il is because you deem the relations
OF my Office to be ultimately connected
with your administration OF the treasury
department that you should have the
privilege of selecting the officer TO be in
charge of the bureau.
Were this the case and the intention
OF the law, il might be proper and be
coming for me to place the tenure Of my
service at your immediate command or
perhaps TO have done 90 when you be-
came the head of the department. But
permit me to say that such has not been
my understanding of the purposes of the
coinage act in providing that the direc-
tor of the aIInt shall hold his Office for
the tefm OF uVe years, unless sooner re-
moved by the president upon reasons TO
be communicated TO the senate. The
length of the term of five
years. the conditions upon which
removal is authorized and the discus
sions and explanations preceding the
passage of the act indicate the Intent
that the Office of the director of the mint
should not be changed on account of q
change of administration, or in the head
Of the department. or for personal or
politIcel reasons. My predecessor, ap-
pointed by President Grant, although of
opposite politics, continued IN Office
under five successive secretaries of the
treasury, until his death. AS to my
self, having served with acceptance for
full term, and upon reappOintment and
confirmation q part of another, am
conscious of no reason why an excep-
ton TO the policy indicated by the laws
should now be made, or why ought
not to continue the performance of Off
cial duty until the expiration of my
commission. Very respectfully,
HoRATIo @. BURCHARD.

Cattle Leases.

WAsHINGToN, D. G, July 1.-Mr. At
kins, commissioner of Indian affairs, IN
giving his theory of the threatened out
break among the Cheyennes in the In
dian Territory said TO day that he was
convinced that the presence Of large
herds of cattle on the reservation was a
constant invitation TO the Indians TO
commit depredations. He thought the
government would now be compelled 70
abrogate all the leases throughout the
Indian TERRITORY, except ON the Chero-
kee strip. He was not certain
that the government had authority
70 abrogate the leases which have been
entered into by the nAtUralIzed tFib IS
It evidently will BE- the policy of the
interior department 20 urge the removal
OF cattle men, but the subject has long
been under confederation and nothing
has been accomplished.
