RIOTING STRIKERS.

With Clubs and Stones.
THE CREWS OF VESSELS ESCORTED
To Their Places by Military-La-
Dor Leaders Address Big Meet

Strikes Ordered at Other Ports.

LONDON, April 9.-The steamships
Montebello and Romeo put out from
the Hull docks last night and anchored
in the roads, so as to be able to take
aboard their crews az a safe distance
from the rioters. Two companies or
dragons armed with lances formed on
both sides Of the crews about two hours
later and escorted them 10 the tenders.
The police, who had been called out
in full force tried to keep the mob
back, but the strikers broke through
the lines repeatedly and began stoning
the soldiers aud sailors. The police
swung their clubs right and left. crack
Ing heads and battering faces. When
the rioters crowded up in front OF the
crews so as TO stop their progress, the
dragons beat them back with the
butts OF their lances.
Several policemen and Dragons were
injured with stones thrown by the riot
ers and about dozen strikers were car
ried from the scene OF conflict by their
comrades. AT the docks the crews were
placed on the tenders and proceeded TO
the Montebello and Romeo. Both
steamships sailed this morning. A gun
boat arrived to-day at Hull and anchor
ed in the roads.
Another is expected TO arrive to-
night. II Is hoped that the presence OF
the gun boats will awe the strikers suf-
iciently TO prevent further violence.
At all events the marines will be efll-
cient relnforcements for the military
already at Hull In case OF emergency.
A large but orderly meeting OF the
strikers was held this afternoon.

BlLLIARDIsT sLOssON RETIREs.
He VIII Devote His Attention to His
Billiard Room.

bAtaN0 ANOOAAs
New YORK, April 9.-When George
Slosson intimated to some personal
friends a few days ago that he would
retire from active participation in bill
liards as regards competing in matches
or tournaments, 1t was not thought
that the great expert was serious.
Maurice Daily called on SfossUn at the
latter's room on Broadway, and had an
extended conference with him in ref
erence to a match with Frank Ives TO
be played in this city in the near fu-
ture. SloSson, however, would not lis
ten to the proposition, and told DAILY
that Ives had evaded making match
with him for a long time, and he did
not think the latter had any intention
of playing. Consequently 1T would be
useless to issue a challenge for match.
In speaking Of his retirement Slosson
said: my main reason for retiring is
in order to give my full attention to my
billiard room. My business interests
have increased so much that | am un-
able to spare the time necessary TO keep
in trim for matches without neglecting
my customers interests. So, after be-
ing for a number of years before the
public, 1 wish TO say 10 my friends that
l have entered the arena for the last
time, and hereafter / shall be known as
room keeper not candidate for
championship honors."

ILLICIT LOVE
In the State Asylum-A Female Attaches
Admiration for Young Boy Leads 10
Her Disgrace.

| Her Disgrace.
COLUMBUS, O., April 9.-Illicit love
has again crept into State institution.
The Central Insane Asylum is the scene
Of the sensational affair.
Miss Nellie Fleming, who, until last
Saturday, was an attache OF the asy-
lum, is to become a mother within
very few months. George Corbin, son
OF a Columbus contractor, and formerly
| an empoye Of the institution, is charged
with her ruin.
Miss Fleming is pretty brunette, 10
years old, well educated, and until re-
Gently stood in high favor with the
management Of the institution.
Until the surprising discovery OF her
condition, few days ago, there was
never a breath of suspicion against
her good name, and she was one OF
the most valued Of the female employees.
Miss Fleming was appointed at the
beginning of this administration from
Lancaster, Fairfield county, her appn-
cation being indorsed by many OF the
most prominent citizens Of that section
OF the State. Her position was that OF
an attendant in the officers dlnApg-
room.
The author Of her ruin is mere boy,
being only sixteen years old, and her
infatuation for him seems to have been
a peculiar one. Corbin is not only
boy in years but also in appearance.
He is a feather-weight in size, and
his beardless fxce bears an expression
Of bashful innocence. Miss Fleming,
on the other hand, is quite womanly
in appearance, with dignity OF bear
ing in keeping with her age. Corbin
was employed in the laundry at the in
Stitution until six months ago.
1t seems that Miss Fleming took
fancy to tht boy and fell into the habit
Of meeting him clandestinely IN the
rear Of The ID kum building.
superintendent RichardsU9 noticed
that they were growing a little too
familiar, and discharged Corbin. The
dismissal seems to have been too late,
however. to prevent the evil feared.
During the past few weeks MISS
Fleming's actions and appearance arous-
ed suspicion among some of the oiilclals'
and one of the lady attaches was In
structed TO question her.
She denied that there was anything
wrong, but subsequently her condition
became too apparent to be longer con-
cealed and she was allowed to resign.
When Miss FIeming's family were
seen tonight they admitted that
she was soon to become
mother, and regarded the Sc
duction as doubly deplorable
from the fact that marriage would not
be much of a remedy, as the author OF
her ruin is only boy.

TIE Law NOT COMPLIED WITH.
The New Immigration Law the Subject OF
Onicial Inquiry.


WASHINGTON. D. c.. April 9.-The
immigration law passed by the Fifty
second Congress March 3, TO take effect
May 3, has been the subject OF official
inquiry by the Senate, initiated by Mr..
Chandler, until recently chairman OF
the immigration Committee, who con-
tended that the section Of the law re-
quiring separately verified manifests
was not being complied with.
Senator Chandler says: "Tbe law re-
ouires that the certificates OF the mas
ter and surgeon Of the steamship shall
be placed upon each Of the lists and
manifests. ANY rule which contem-
plates allowing one certificate to cover
in any form of words more than one list
or manifest will be in direct disobe-
dience OF the well considered and clear
ly expressed intention and direction OF
the statute. The law requires that no
list shall contain more than thirty
names, in order 10 have the lists sepa-
rate from each other at the port Of ar
rival FOR the purpose Of the examination
there TO be made To allow the steam
ship companies to fasten them together
and make one certificate for all the
lists instead OF one certificate for each
list would defeat the whole purpose OF
the first four sections of the law, as
well as disobey its express injunction. >"
The matter has been referred to the
Committee on immigration.
