places and distractions had been placed
at number of points, making. progress

clares the fight is one to the death. 1t Is
announced that an attempt will be made

pated, Notwithstanding the fact that a
committee of strikers called on Captain
Aldrich this morning and protfered their
assistance in suppressing any disturbance.
Chief of Police Hubbard this afternoon
has issued general order to the police
that they must keep all crowds moving,
and that they must strongly suppress all
disorder from its inception, using what
ever amount Of force is necessary to ac-
complish this result. Mayor Roche says
it looks as though the city authorities will
have to fight to maintain order. At Sedg-
wick and Lincoln avenues this afternoon a
crowd threw 5000 rotten eggs at the new
drivers. The horses ran away, damaging
two or three cars, but the police finally
restored order This afternoon two dozen
new men, escorted by the police, were
brought to Western avenue barns on the
west side. The rumor spread that the
company was about to start u dozen cars,
mob Of 5000 gathered, and advanced
in u determined manner toward the barns.
The police charged and the crowd He'd,
but some Of the strikers refused to move
and nine of them were arrested.
At O'Clock two cars were sent out In
the west division About 125 policemen
were on duty. and succeeded in keeping
the crowd, which numbered 5000, from
interfering. The trip back and forth on
Madison street was full of excitement At
two points stones were hurled, one OF
which struck a woman, knocking her
down. The thrower Of the second stone
was Immediately arrested. At Halsted
street great mob was collected. part OF
which attempted to pound the driver OF
the car, but the police kept the crowd in
check. Julius kalzelberg, former con-
ductor on the Sedgwick street line, was
locked up at the Chicago avenue station.

opinion that he is "a dynamiter. is care
fully investigating bombs about the size
of wanuts. Whether these contained
enough explosive to be dangerous will be
determined by the investigation.
CHICAGO, Oct. l2.--Capt. Shaack OF the
police says the bombs that were placed
on the street-car track yesterday afternoon
by Louis Kasselberg contain dynamite OF
a more powerful quality than any hereto
fore discovered by the police. They are
about the size and shape OF half an egg.
On top there Is a percussion cap and at
the bottom are wires which fastened them
firmly on top of the rasl. They were
placed in lunches of three, and Shaak
says any one of the three contain enough
dynamite to shatter car to splinters.
Kasselberg had about dozen of them in
his pocket. Two or three of them If
placed in the section of a gaspipe would

CHICAGO, Oct. l3,--The cases of the
men arrested for putting dynamite on the
north side car tracks were continued to
the Goth inst, this morning. The work
of the detectives has resulted, it is as
serted, In unfolding serious dynamite
conspiracy in which, at least, two per.
sons are implicated. Attorney Furthman
said this morning that two more arrests
would be made to-day, and when these
persons are brought in, the police will
probably tell the story of the plot.
The conference between the north side
street car men and MIR. Yerkes this after
noon was fruitless as to definite results.
The committee of the strikers refused the
scale of wages offered by Yerkes and OBJ
jected TO the retention of any new men in
place of the strikers. President Luke
Coyne, of the West Side Employees Associa-
tion, was confident that no conclusion
would be reached by the conference and
consequently has called night session OF
the association which will assemble at
midnight, and which will take action on
the report Of the afternoon conference.
At the west side headquarters it was said
that Yerkes would be permitted to tenn
porize no longer and that probably the
west side men would 90 out tomorrow
morning.
| The general meeting of the west side
employees began about IL 80 tonight, al
though a number had not yet arrived.
President Coene said that ut midnight the
temper of the men seemed TO be not to
strike on Sunday but to run as usual,
pending Mr.. Yerkes final decision in the
north side matter. Should it be unfavor-
able the west side line will probably be
tied up on Monday morning. The men
may yet decide, however, to stop work on
Sunday A decision will probably be
reached before 4 A. NJ.
Frank l.. Mage, former driver for the
north side company, was arrested late this
morning, charged with completely in the
recently discovered dynamite plot 80
THE cIGAR-MAKERs' STRIKE.
TAMPA. Fla. Oct. 12.--Fifteen weeks
ago the cigar-lnakers' strike was inauR-
urated in Havana. The strikers were
unable to fight the trust which the manu-
facturers formed on their soil and they
determined upon plan which threatens
to destroy one of Cuba's greatest indus
tries. 1t is nothing less than movement
to depopulate the island Of every striking
cigar maker. A labor organization sim
liar to the Knights of Labor has taken
charge of the strike and General Enrique
Roig, editor of the Eproductor, is now in
the United States placing the situation
before the American manufacturers and
employees. Largely attended meetings
have already been held in Florida. There
are $50 factories in Havana, and about
5000 men on strike: Every cigar maker
