men and stovedores struck In the morn
ing, and soon compelled the work.
men in the custom house to cease labor.
The strikers demanded payment in coin,
not in notes, and this demand caused
the doors OF tho custom house to be
closed, q step which was probably fol-
lowed by most of the business houses
throughout the city. The strikers then

featuring establishments, doing much
damage. A number of citizens appealed
to the authorities TO act, but they re-
malned passive for several hours, during
which the rioting and plundering was
going on.
Finally, after eighty men had been
wounded and twelve killed, the euthori-
ties determined to send out military
pickets and defend the public offices.

vided In three sections, was busily en-

street twelve men were wounded. The
bakery and several adjoining stores
were sacked. Finally picket Of soldiers
appeared, and asked the plunderers to
withdraw. As they did not do so, tho
soldiers withdrew. Similar scenes were

quarters Of the city. The railroad shops
were completely destroyed, as well as
the manufactures In the vicinity, and
their contents thrown into the sea.
While the mob was engaged in sack

picket arrived, and, the mob not retir-

ers and woundinR four others. BY this
time, however the crowd numbered
10000, and, although repeatedly charged
upon by the police, who en-
pioyed sabre, stood their ground.
although some twenty of their members
were killed and seriously wounded.
Viewed from the beach, the scene on
the hill was horrible, as the police were
seen, sabres In hand, charging here and

and wounded many policemen, but order
was temporarily restored with the assist

A CHANCE FOR DAGGETT.
Mr.. Wanamaker Postpones Action on
the Postal Card Contract.

Mr.. Russell Of the Russell Paper Company,
now supplying the paper upon which the pos
tai cards are printed had long conference to-
day with Postmaster General Wanamaker. He
is indignant that his paper has been rejected
by the government inspector and he had called
to see Mr.. Wanamaker about it.
1t had been practically decided to
annul the contract with Mr.. Daggett for fur
nishing postal cards, to go into effect today but
upon representations made by Mr.. Russell the
Postmaster General concluded to postpone
this action for five days. Mr.. Russell
is one of the largest paper manufacturers
in the world. He has furnished paper before for
the government and he maintains that his paper
is all right. Mr.. Wanamaker intends to look
into the matter personally, and by next Satur-
day he expects to be able to finally determine
the question as to whether Mr.. Daggett shall
continue with his contract. In the event that
the Daggett contract is annulled. the depart
ment will invite new proposals. In the mean
time arrangements will be made for tenn
pOrary supply.
