THE sTltnKE AT HULL.
Tho Strikers Losing Ground-Two Thou
sand Non-UnlOn Men ut Work.

Tho Strikers Losing Ground-TwO Thou
sand Non-UnlOn Men ut Work.
LONDON, April 1.-THE situation In
Hull to-day is quite gloomy for the
strikers, and to judge from present in
dications the shipping federation will
win in its struggle to employ such men,
union or non.union, as its members
please. Four hundred additional nom
union men arrived in Hull to-day to
take the places Of unionists who had
quit work. They were ut once placed
at work. There are now altogether
1000 non-unionists at work on the
docks, and it is thought that no as
saults will be made upon them, as they
are protected by dragons and police
men.
As the strikers see their chances Of
winning daily becoming less they
evince a decidedly ugly feeling, but
with the precautions already taken
further riotous demonstrations about
the wharvos are not apprehended,. The
firms in Hull engaged in the timber
carrying trade. who since the beginning
Of the strike have let their vessels re-
main idle, announced to-day that unless
their employees resume work at once
other men will be engaged to fill their
places.
The members of the shipping fedora
ton express themselves us confident OF
beating tho strikers. The riotous acts
OF the latter have done much to destroy
popular sympathy with them. Au-
thorities are vigilant and say any fur
ther attempt at rioting will be promptly
suppressed by the police and military.
Mr.. Joseph Haveler Wilson, president
OF the sailors and firemen's union, il
taking an active part in advancing the
interests of the striking dockers. Mr.,
Wilson arrived ut Cardiff to-day with
the objecl OF enlisting the dock laborers
and the Cardiff branch OF tho sailors
and flremen's union in support OF the
Hull strikers. With his great influence
in labor circles there is scarcely doubt
that he will obtain material aid, not
only in Cardiff, but in other ports
which he intends to visit. There Is
every indication that the shipping
trade OF Cardiff is about to become in
voived in a struggle with the sailors
and iiremen's union.

THE MAN SHE LOVED

Was the Man Wealthy Miss Goorgic Web
Etcr Wanted, and Position and Poverty
Were Not Bars.
Chicago, April 11.-Miss Georgie
Webster, the pretty adopted daughter
OF g. +. Hawley, wealthy dentist, to-
day left homo of case and atIluence to
we'd the man who has until lately been
driving DR.. Hawley's carriage and car
ing ior his horses. There was no
elopement, nothing sensational, but
Miss George declared that she loved
the man, the man loved her, and they
were going to be married and married
they we're this afternoon.
Tho groom is j. Q. Cooper, young
man who came here from Kansas some
time ago. He was unfortunate in find
ing employment and finally took the
place OF coachman for DR.. Hawley. He
is said TO be a worthy young fellow
There is nothing to be said against him,
and aside from wooing and winning
Miss Webster, he was model coach
man. Miss Webster Is twenty-five
years Of age, bright and good looking
woman.
When Miss George announced to Dr.
Hawley that she desired to wed tho
coachman tho matter was promptly
vetoed by that gentleman who urged
upon the young lady the wisdom Of
marrying a man in her own station in
life and the danger Of marrying man
beneath her social standing, but tho
young lady was firm. Finally Cooper
was discharged and went to Lagrange,
Illinois, where he found employment
in stone quarry. Whom he had saved
some money ho sent for Misc George
and she came. All tho remonstrNnces
and entreaties OF the Hawley family
were vain and turning her back on as
comfortable and happy home as any
girl ever had the young woman went
to-day to marry the man she loved.

MANY WORDS BUT NO BLOWS.

Women Managers of the Worlds Fair
Hold a Little Circus of Their Own.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The Board of LADY
Managers indulged in another decidedly
unpleasant wrangie yesterday. 1t lasted
nearly two hours, and during that time
many unpleasant things were said and
many ladies gave vent to their feelings
by kissing. Mrs. Ball of Delaware, Secre-
tary of the committee on awards, made a
long complaint against Mrs. Meredith.
chairman of the committee. Among
other things she charged that when Mrs.
Meredith had been unable to attend the
sessions of the committee she had sent
her sister to act as overseer, when the
sister had no right even to a seat in the
committee.
At frequent intervals during Mrs.
BalPs remarks, there were loud exclama-
tions of surprise from the audience. But
the sensation came when, in closing, she
characterized Mrs. Meredith as an "arro-
CANT, malicious, ungenerous, vindictive
woman" Before she had finished, half
the women in the house were on their
feet. Many were shrieking wildly, while
others hissed and stamped their feet.
Mrs. Palmer used her gavel vigorously
and called in vain for order, but the ex-
cited women paid no attention.
"Take that back ~ yelled one large
woman.
PUT her outr' screamed another. and
so on, and pandemonium reigned su-
preme.
During all this uproar Mrs. Ball stood
perfectly calm, smiling serenely, and
when at length order was restored she re-
peated the sentence. Then the uproar
was renewed and continued for some
time. Mrs. Ball finally took her seat and
in an instant Mrs. Meredith was on her
feet.
$50 far as any difference that exists be-
tween Mrs. Ball and myself is con-
cerned," said she, ''we can settle it our
selves. But when she says I sent my sis
ter to preside over the committee she tells
that which is absolutely false" Here
Mrs. Meredith broke down and began to
sob Historically.
Then came another scene of wild con-
fusion. Everybody wanted to talk at
once, and motions were made by the
dozen, but nothing was done until Mrs.
Palmer, who was pale with excitement.
succeeded in restoring order. Then Mrs.
Ball got the floor again. and said she
would retract the word "malicious."
There was loud applause at this, and on
motion of one of the ladies the entire pro-
ceedings were expunged from the rec
ords. The meeting then adjourned.
