Riotous strikers.

HUNTERS POINT, LII, April 22.-About
1:30 o'clock this afternoon the strikers at
the Havemeyer Sugar Refining company's
works at Greenpoint began rioting. The
police were called out in full force and at
tackled the strikers, using their clubs freely,
but the strikers outnumbered and over
powered the officers, attacking them with
slaves and brickbats. Three policemen
were seriously injured and removed to the
hospital. One striker was seriously in
jured about the head by the clubs of the
policies, and was also removed 10 the hoSpi-
tai. Several pistol shots were fired, but no
one was injured by the bullets so far as
known. After driving the police from the
works the strikers captured several wagons
loaded with sugar, and dumped the con-
tents on the street. The rioting still con-

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Mr. Elvery A.
Adee, assistant secretary OF state, who is
alleged by Mr.. Blaine to have been the in
ventOr OF that now famous term ''innOcuOus
deSuetude," is a well known figure in
Washington. He has been connected with
the state department for many years and is
recognized as one of the most thorough
scholars, and one of the best versed men in
literature on general topics of the day, in
Washington. This would not be so re-
markable except for the obstacles which he
has had to surmount in gaining this envi-
able position. Unusually bright and
quick, he had the misfortune to lose
his hearing in childhood, so that for
years he was scarcely able to hear
a sound. With this loss he nearly lost the
art of speech, though not entirely so, as he
had arrived at speaking age before he met
with the loss of hearing. In later years
his hearing improved slightly. so that now
he is able to hear conversation when di-
rected Immediately into his ear. To speak
to him, however, you must stand at his
side, and only by speaking very loud are
you able to hold conversation with him.
His own ability of articulating is also
affected by his difficulty in hearing, so that
conversation with him is extremely difficult,
yet in spite of these obstacles, he is really
a brilliant conversatlonaliSt. thoroughly the
master of several languages. a popular gen.
tleman in society, and the highest authority
in the state department upon matters, both
as to literature and foreign intercourse.

Strong Probability OF the Trouble
Becoming General.

CHICAGO, April 22.-Shortly after IL
o'clock this morning Sheriff Hanchett swore
in twenty-five deputies so as to have them
all ready to march to the scene of the strike
at FOrty-first street. In the meantime,
however, the Lake Shore company secured
writs of injunction against the strikers to
restrain them from interfering, and at 1910
train loaded down with sheriff's deputies
and detectives was sent to the scene of the
trouble. Arriving there the officers began
at once to serve the writs on the committee
and the leading men of the strikers. who
accepted them without question, putting
them into their pockets. At that time the
number was quite small, but by o'clock it
had swelled to 500 men, whom the deputies
endeavored to drive away preparatory
to starting out train. AT 5
o'clock, everything being in readiness,
an engine loaded with deputies and police
was run out of the round house, but before
it reached the main track it was surrounded
with men and one Of the strikers spoke to
the engineer He Immediately reversed his
engine and ran it back to the round house
amid the yells of the increasing throng OF
strikers and sympathiZerS. The committee
of strikers kept at work arguing and plead
ing with the imported switchmen, and with
such success that they finally induced fif-
teen of them to join the strikers, At 6
p. m. the sheriff ordered the deputies to
RETURN TO THE CITY
until o'clock tomorrow morning, the rail-
road company having decided 10 make no
further attempt to run trains until that
time. 1t seems impossible to induce ell
gineers to run engines against the wishes of

Chicago resulting in a general shut down
of manufacturing establishments. 1t is
said this evening that the strikers have rami-
fications that are not fully understood by
any but the men themselves, and il is not at
all improbable that all the switchmen in
the country, at least those between here
and the seaboard. stand ready to aid and
abet the Lake Shore men by striking when
ever called upon to do so. 1t has been
persistently denied that this strike was
under the direction of the Switchmen's
Mutual Aid association, and this may here
tOfore have been true, but information was
gained to-day that szle aid association
would be only too glad of an opportunity tn
take up the side of the striking men, and
this opportunity is doubtless now pre-
sented. All day to-day S. l.. Monaghan,
chief of the aid association, was busy
among the strikers, and it is reported this
evening that committee would meet for
the purpose of considering the adviSability
of making the strike a strictly ''union" af-
fair, and making use of all the power in
the organization to gain the day for the

Good Progress Made With the APP
preparation Bill,

WASHINGTON, April 22.-In the house
to-day, during the morning hour, the bill
introduced by Mr.. Adams of New York
amending section 2S05 of the revised
statutes was taken up and passed as fol-
lows:
Section 2s05. All oaths taken upon making
of any of the reports or entries, or respect
ing any of its acts mentioned in this chapter,
whether by a master of any vessel, or the
owner or consignee of any merchandise, his
factor or agent, or by any other person, shall
be administered by the collector or officer to
or with whom the report or entry is made, or
by any notary public, and shall be reduced to
writing, and subscribed by the person admin
istering the oath.
at the expiration of the morning hour
the house went into committee of the
whole on the river and harbor bill. Con-
siderable progress was made with 1t, and
the committee rose. Mr.. O'Neil of Mis-
souri, again ,endeavored to secure the adop-
ton of his resolution of sympathy with
Mr.. Gladstone. but demand for the regular
order prevented action. Mr.. Compton
moved an adjournment until Monday, but
it was voted down, and the house took
recess until IL o'clock tomorrow.

Manning to Resume Work.

Spec1al 20 the 6lODe-
WASHINGTON, April 22.-It is very evil
dent now that Secretary Manning intends
to attempt to resume his duties at the head
of the treasury department. The president
has visited him within the past few days
and had long consultation. Mr.. Manning
is confident that he will be able to resume
his work within month. He says that
the very hard work of the position had been
all cleared up, except one or two matters,
at the time Of his illness, and that from this
forward the strain will be very light COM
pared with that of the first year. The
president was delighted with the prospect
of seeing his old friend and personal ad-
wiser again at his desk and in the cabinet
room. Manning of course will not attempt
to enter upon all the duties of the position
at present, probably not before next fall,
and unless he meets with something in the
nature of relapse he expects to be at his
desk by the 1st of June.

Mr.. Burns inquired as 10 the general

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The scope of
the recent decision OF the supreme court
on the taxation of commercial travellers is
not fully understood. The decision only
covers discriminating taxes. The Qucs.
ton as TO the right of States to levy on
commercial travellers the same license tax

the supreme court in Il short time. In the
case appealed from the supreme court of
Tennessee it is claimed that this taxation

The president yesterday informed Mr..

The Domestic Monthly for February 1886.

The Domestic Monthly for February 1886.
The last two issues of 1he Domestic
M0hthty have attracted general attention,
NO magazine has made such improvement
as has this old f~avorite in the past few
months. Its illustrated articles are equal
to the best work in the high,priced maya
zines, and its short stories have always
been celebrated. The February number
is most brilliant; it contains so large pages
and over 60 engravings, including several
full-page pictures, which are handsome
enough to frame. The Fashion Depart
ment maintains its reputation as the most
practical of any of the ladies' magazines,
and its styles are always the latest and
most fashionable. Special attention is
given to knitting and crochet, and all va
rieties of fancy needlework, Mrs, Henry
Ward Beecher conducts an admirable de
pNrtment for h0usekcepers. THE Domestic
Monthly is, without a question, the lead
ing low priced magazine.
The Domestic MORlhy is published at
1913 Broadway, corner Fourteenth Street,
New York, at $3.50 q year, For $500
the magazine for one year and two new
books, "Needlework" and knitting and

unfair for a newspaper to attempt to ere

to be acquitted. A jury on oath will
