COULDN'T HIRE A HALL.
50 a New York Mob Proceeded 70
Take One by Force.
AFTER WHICH THE POLICE DROVE
THEM ALL AWAY.

Windows and Doors Suffered, but the
Riot Was Not Very Serious in Itself
1t May Mean, However, that Worse
Are to Follow as Labor Leaders Have
the Crowd.
New York, August 1.-THE first of the
riots which labor leaders and others
have been predicting for some time, as
result of the large number of men out
of employment, occurred this morn
ing. A crowd of more than
5000 men attacked Nalhalla Hall on Or
chard street, because admittance was de-
MED them. They broke the plate glass
windows into atoms, forced in the door,
which had been turned against them, and
forcibly took possession of the place.
Several persons were cut by the flying
glass; All sorts of missiles were used,
and finally the police reserves from the
Eldredge street station were ordered to
lodging the crowd. Those forming the
crowd were mostly Hebrews and repre-
sented principally the clothing trade.
There were cutters, garment makers,
hat makers and cloak makers.
Il The success of yesterdays meeting
and parade of the unemployed was the
signal for much larger gathering today
in the vicinity of the International La
Dor Exchange on East Tenth street. At
10 O. clock, fully 5000 speople had assem-
bled. The large hall of the Exchange
was literally packed, while outside there
were many more endeavoring to gain adj
mission.
At this point some one cried out that
the hall was too small, and suggested
Walhalla Hall. AS if with one impulse,
the crowd formed in line and proceeded
in the direction of the hall mentioned.
The proprietor of the hall, hearing the
approach Of the crowd, prepared to de-
fend the place. The doors were barred.
The crowd, on arriving, through spokes-
men made known its desire to occupy
the hall for the purpose of meeting.
This was refused, and Immediately an
attack on the place was begun, and an
entrance was soon forced. Thousands
could not get in. The police, after some
hard work, succeeded in partly clearing
the hall. A man who was addressing
the crowd was taken into custody. The
police subsequently had to turn their
attention to the streets in the vicinity,
and had all they sscould do in dispersing
the crowds that gathered after the hall
had been partly cleared. At last re-
counts the hall was about half-filled with
men, determined to hold meeting at
any cost.

Chattanooga Papers Cannot Doubt the
Result of the Amick Treatment.

Chattanooga, Tenn, august 1.-THE
intense newspaper rivalry here resulted
in the News sending a special representa-
tiveto Cincinnati to investigate the Amick
treatment for consumption. Thei Times

Amick discovery is all it is claimed and

The Pilgrim was virtually out of the
race. On the run in she broke the jaws
of her gaff and her club, and it is re-
ported will not be in tomorrow's race.
The run was otherwise uneventful, save
that the Colonia gained ten seconds from
the Jubilee. The Jubilee gained two
minutes and twenty seconds on the Vigil
liant. This was the result of deviation of
footed the Jubilee all through the sec
ond leg. The Jubilee carried away the
jaws of her gaff near the lightship, but
will race tomorrow. The Vigilant's per-
formance, when her later start and loss
by compass deviation is taken into ac-
count, is an even greater victory than ap-
pears from the official summary which

BANKS. PENSIONS AND MILEAGE,
Three Subjects of Which the Senate Heard

Three Subjects of Which the Senate Heard
Yesterday.
Washington, August 17.-In the Senate
today a resolution was offered and tabled
for the present, calling for a report from
the treasury department as to what ma
tional banks have diminished and subse-
quently enlarged their circulation, and
what national banks have no outstanding
notes in circulation. A resolution was
offered which went over until tomorrow,
calling for a report as to whether the sec
retary of the interior and commissioner
of pensions have conformed to the pro-
visions of the statutes in suspending and
dropping pensioners from the rolls.
Mr. German offered an amendment to
the national bank circulation bill. The
amendment provides that any national
bank desiring to withdraw any of it's cir
culating notes shall in writing at least
sixty days before the time of proposed
withdrawal make application to the
comptroller of the currency, and no such
withdrawal shall be made unless such
application shall be approved, in whole
whole or in part, by the secretary of the
treasury, and no moresthan $3,000,000 of
the national bank circulation shall be
withdrawn within any calendar month.
After some discussion OF the question.
Mr.. Hoar called for vote upon the reso
luton for the admission of Mr. Mantle as
senator from Montana. Objection was
made but unanimous consent was given
that the vote be taken on Monday next.
The House joint resolution for the pay
ment of mileage to senators and repre-
sentatives for the extraordinary session
was taken up for action.
Mr.. Vest expressed opposition to the
resolution, arguing that the law did not
Justify the payment of mileage at the
present session.
Mr.. Hoar supported the resolution.
He said that the senators performed
legislative services at an immense
pecuniary cost He thought himself as
workman was entitled to receive wages
He was seeking to bring about condi-
ton of things by which the workmen
could get employment and could get
their wages promptly.
Mr. Vest said he did not think it in
good taste at a time of great distress,
when people were looking toCongress for
immediate relief and it was almost i'm
possible to come to conclusion, for
senators to attend to their own financial
condition.
Mr. Villas advocated the joint resolu-
tion on the ground that the extr aordinary
session would probably run into the reg
ular session and the payment of the
mileage now would be merely in antiei-
patton by two or three months of the
time when it would be payable under ex-
isting laws.
After further arguments, Mr.. PETER
moved the resolutions, indefinite post
pouement and demanded the yeas and
nays. The motion was rejected and the
ntssresolution passed.
The Senate adjourned.

Brunswick, Maine, August II. .--.All of

streets were lined with people, and
dwellings and stores were gaily deco
rated. The occasion Of all this was the
much talked-of firemen's muster. AT an
early hour this morning, the street
sprinkler went over the line of march,
laying the dust before the parade. The
parade, which was the first event ON the
programme for the day, was advertised
for 90 o'clock, but owing to the expected
arrival of several companies on the noon
train a start was not made until II.
The procession formed on Bath street,
near the residence of President Hyde ard
moved down Main street to Mill. Thence
it went up Union, through Potter and
down Federal to Centre, up Main, down
Park Row, and disbanded in front OF the
town building. The line of march was
considerably shortened on account OF the
lateness of the hour. This was the order
of parade:
