Disorderiy Coal Lzeavers.

CHICAGO, June 15.-Over 200 coal heav-
ers went On strike to-day and created dis
turbances that led to the arrest of eleven of
them. Saturday the vessel Kate Winslow
arrived loaded with coal, and
some twenty beavers made a contract
to unload her at the rate
of 10 cents per ton. Sunday there was a
mass meeting of nearly all the coal beavers
in the city and an organization was formed,
which adopted the rate of 12 cents per ton
for unloading vessels. This after
noon, when it became gener-
ally known among beavers that
twenty or so of their number were unload
ing the vessel Kate Winslow at the old
rate A mob of over. 200 collected and
marched up the North Branch,
where the vessel lay at the dock. Eleven
of the mob boarded her and demanded
that the men should quit work.
They refused to do so, protesting it their
duty to live up to the contract made on
Saturday. Finally the men were induced
to quit work, but not until the en-
gineer had been assaulted and disabled.
At this juncture the police interfered,
made the arrests mentioned and dispersed
the mob. The entire organization is now

Investigations.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 15.-Anton G.. Hesing
of Chicago, who has been in Washington
for some time looking after the interest
of German Democrats, returned to the
city to-day and in conversation
with the GLOBE correspondent
said: 81 have the greatest confidence in
the good intentions of the president and his
secretaries and they are determined to eX-
pose and purify the scOundreliSm, thievery
and rascality which has been going on, and
which has been shielded by former
administrations. in various departments.
L have every reason to believe
that Secretary Manning will continue III
the treasury department and that 5 scfetary
Whitney will root out the frauds III the navy
department Manning will break up that
infamous ring in the New York custom
house which has undervalued goods to the
loss Of millions of dollars to the people and
to the particular injury Of the merchants of
the West. [ believe that Gen. j. c.
Black, as he has already shown, will
investigate the great frauds which have
been committed in the pension department
the roll of pensions nearly one hundred and
fifty names from the District of Columbia,
among which were large number
who had been dead for several years,
thus saving to the government over
100000 year in this item
alone. Gen. Black commenced to change
various examination boards and he is going
to continue changing them until he has
purified the department. [ believe that
Secretary Lamar is determined to restore to
the people the land fraudulently stolen from
them, as was done in the matter
of the Maxwell grant in New
Mexico. Upon the whole l was so well inn
pressed with what I could learn from the
secretaries and the president himself, l be-
lieve that if they keep on as they have be-
gun they will astound the people and lay
bare the corruption that has been hidden
from administration to administration for
many years.

Coleman has appointed DR.. Gerth, veteri-
marian of Newark, N. j., to proceed to Ne
braska and make thorough investigation.
DIR. Gerth is an inspector of animals, meats
and slaughter houses for the Newark board
of health, and also has been connected with
the New Jersey state board of health, and in
his official capacity has had much experience
with the diseases of swine. The most recent
statistics place the number of swine in the
United States at over IS, 600, 600 head, which
are valued at more than 1926, 900, 600. The
annual losses among these animals is very
heavy. In 1878 it was estimated to reach
$40, 900, 900. In 1882 it was per cent. of
the whole number in the country. In 1884
this loss increased to per cent. Recent
investigations indicate that these losses are
mostly the result of contagious diseases.
The losses in Nebraska during the last year
have been for the first time very heavy.
Reports from forty-six Of the seventy three
counties show that out of 1903, 695 head Of
swine 400, 463 were affectrd with the dis
ease and 352,921, valued at So, AS, IT'S,

yi,as ON Cleyeland,s Fairness.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-In speaking of
the appointments of presidential postmas-
ters made to-day, Postmaster General Villas
said that in addition to the removals for
offensive partisanship there were as many
more cases in which, after consideration, it
had been decided not to remove the post
masters. In those cases, although evidence
of offensive partisanship had been pre-
sented, it was regarded as insufficient, the
president not being disposed to seize the
opportunity for removal, but to require the
existence Of parlisanship to be shown as an
undeniable fact. AS showing the spirit of
fairness and delicacy that has animated the
president in dealing with the presidential
postmasters the postmaster general said
there were eighteen such presidential ap-
pointments made by President Arthur in the
last days of his term in cases where vancan-
cies had occurred, and which
had been confirmed by the senate,
but no commissions had been issued.
In all of these cases. as matter Of legal
right. President Cleveland could have made
appointments, because the act of appoint
ment has not been coupled with the issu-
ance of commissions, but he thought it only
considerate and fair that he should give the
commissions in completion Of the act of ap-
pointment, and it had been done in all cases
but one, and in that case there had been a
resignation by the appointee before the
commission issued.

SMALLPOX ia milwaukee,.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, June 15.-Two cases of
smallpox were discovered to-day in tene-
ment in Sherman street. The patients are
young man and ayoung woman, who had,
with their parents and other members of
the family, arrived about three weeks ago
from Germany. The two victims
had been sick for nearly a
week, but called q physician
for the first time to-day. The nature OF
their affliction was then made known for
the first time. The health commissioners
at once took measures to prevent spread
of the disease. A child in the family had
been attending the Humboldt school and a
brother has been employed in a
brewery. Tonight the whole fam
lily was transferred to the pest house
and the premises thoroughly disinfected.
Where the disease originated cannot be
learned Dr. Martin. the health commits
sioner, said tonight that he could not say
| beyond doubt that the disease was small
pox. 1t had just reached that stage when
decision was hard to be reached. He
thought, however, there was little question
of the nature of the malady. He did not
expect an epidemic.

Revolution on the Isthmus.

PANAMA, June 6.-Fresh rumors of
revolution have been current on the streets
during the last few days. Reports of secret
meetings of the leaders of the Radi-
cal party and some of the
disaffected liberals, were communi-
Gated to the government which Immediately
ordered increased vigilance on the part of
the police. These have made some arrests
and other preventive measures have
been undertaken. The fact that arms suf-
ficient for 10000 men and half million
cartridges are in the hands Of the people of
the Arrobat, the revolutionary hotbed of the
isthnus, is considered serious circum-
stance by the government. Less than 500
men now maintain the authority of the
national government ON the isthmus.
The sanitary condition of the city is
exceedingly bad. Yellow fever has claimed
many victims. The troops from the Canca
have especially suffered, and more than
forty have died.

Sensational Trial.

PITTsBURG, Pa, June 15.-The trial of
William n. Riddell and G. L. Reider. late
president and cashier of the Penn bank, be-
gan in the criminal court to-day They are
being tried for conspiracy, the charges
OF embezzlement on which they were ar
raigned some weeks ago having been ap-
parently abandoned at present owing to the
faulty way in which the Indictment
was drawn up. The trial promises to be
very sensational, owing to the number Of
wealthy men directly and Indirectly impli-
Gated. The defendants are represented by
eight famous lawyers, among them Con-
gresham Boyle of Pennsylvania and Judge
Curtis of New York. The general impress
sion seems to be that the case will either
break down OF there will be no conviction.
District Attorney Robb, in his opening
speech, said he thought he would show that
the defendants concocted a scheme by
which to defraud the bank and other people.
They conspired to get up a system Of
FALSE ACCOUNTS,
and caused the accounts of Watson 6 Co.,
Hill u Co.. Wilson & Co. and others to be
put on the books when no such persons ex-
listed. BY this system the bank was de-
frauded of 81, 500, 900. In order to
carry on the scheme, they being
required to report to the board
of directors every Monday morning,
got up system Of statements which made
it appear that overdrafts were drafts or
checks by depositors, and in that way de-
ceived the board as to the condition of the
bank until three or four days after it was
swamped and closed. The assist
ant individual bookkeeper, MIR. Craig,
after being sworn said he had an indirect
recollection OF the accounts of Wilson s.
Co., Watson d Co., and Hill & Co. He
would not say whether any of the firms
named ever drew direct checks. George P.
Rowley, the individual bookkeeper, said he
remembered the accounts named in the in
dlctment. No person ever came to get the
pass books for those accounts. Requests
were
MADE BY MIR. RIDDELL
to have those books made out for some of
them. In answer to a query from the pros
ecutiOn, ROwley said the memorandum Of
the item of Watson & Co.'s account,
S11S.04, was in Riddelrs handwriting. At
that time Watson s. Co. had
on deposit S226.61. Watson & Co.. s account
started June 8, 1888, and the last entry was
made on May 2, 1884. The account was
twice balanced. In December, 1883, their
account was Overdrawn 1894. S24.75. The
witness was then taken through the account
of Wilson & Co. and Hill & Co.
in the same way that he had been through
that OF Watson d Co. In some cases checks
were made in the handwriting of Riddell,
some by Reiber and some by other attaches
OF the bank. There was charging check
for $150,000 drawn by Mr.. Riddell, another
for $1S5, 600 in the writing of Mr.. Normi-
cult the memorandum and charge to D.
Wilson & Co. being in the writing Of
Reiber. The witness was still on the stand
when court adjourned.
