BUDA PEsTH, April 24.-Sunday 800
workmen marched to the town hall
of Hold-Mezo with the intention of
recovering number of pamphlets
belonging to socialist leaders, which
had been seized by the police.
The spokesmen of the mob asked
for the return of the pamphlets,
claiming that they had been illegally
seized. The authorities ordered the
workmen to dispense. The mob re-
fused and the gend'arm were or
dered to charge. The police were
met by shower of stones and driven
back. The municipal authorities called
for detachment of troops, and upon
the arrival of the soldiers the gen.
d'armes made another attempt to dis
perse The mob, but were again re-
pulsed. Then the mob began stoning
the military. The soldiers fred blank
cartridges at the rioters. The latter,
seeing that nobody was killed or
wounded, continued stoning the
troops, and a second volley, this
time in real earnest, was fred
into the mob, wounding six of
them severely and slightly wound
ing number of others. A detachment
of huzzars then charged the mob with
drawn swords, driving them away
from the town hall. The huzzars also
rounded in sixty prisoners, who were
lodged in Jail, the prison being strong
ly guarded by troops. The streets are
still patrolled by huzzars aud
gend'armes.

Foreign Laborers Driven Ont.

AKRON, April 25.-For long time
there has been great deal of feeling
among Akron worlsmen against for
eign laborers employed on city i'm
provements That feeling manifested
itself yesterday afternoon, in very
emphatic manner. A crowd of about
100 men called upon local contractors
and ordered them to release all ltal-
ians. The men were ready to enforce
their demands, if necessary, but the
Italians preferred to retreat from their
work peaceably, and all left when told
to do so. 1t is believed, however, that
there will he trouble.

CLEVELAND, April 24.-At 8 o'clock
yesterday afternoon delegation Of
men representing the late employees of
the Little Consolidated Street Railway
Company, who were employed on the
Detroit street extension, met Superin-
tendent Mulhern at the City hall and
asked that they again be given employ
ment. Mulhern contended that the
men had not treated him fairly by
quitting without giving him a chance
to say what he would do about increas-
ing wages. The conference was
lengthy, but at the close Mulhern said
he would take all the old employees
back, pay them S1.25 per day or more
If any other corporation went above
that sum, and in addition the men were
to be transferred to and from work free
of charge. The proposition was ac-
oepted.

present strike of miners. The COM

works a great loss to the company,

quarters of the United Mine Workers
in this city Monday indicating many
additions to the ranks of the strikers
and giving assurance that those already
out would stand by the order for gem
eral suspension
President Nc Brides estimate of the
number of strikers in detail is as fol-
lows:
Alabama. s,0o1Indian territory. 1000

Indiana 80. .. 5000 Michigan ......... 500
Ohio. ............. 26,0J0
Iowa.. 5000. iS,00O Total. ....... .li0,200
AT many places where there was no
indication of strike Saturday the
miners refused to go to work when the
whistles blew Monday morning. This is
true particularly in Illinois. President
Mcbride received telegram from p.
Fl. Penna, national vice president,
and John Fahy, members of the ma
tional executive board at Murphysboro,
ILL, stating that 1900 miners there and
at Duquesne had voted not to return to
work. This has been regarded as the
key to the situation in southern Illinois,
as 1t is one of the largest coal-producing
centers, and further accessions to the
strikers are expected as result of the
suspension.
President McBride's estima te of the
total number of men on strike in Illi-
nois is $4,000. This, it is predicted,
will be increased to fully $4,000 in
few days.
The miners leaders in Iowa tele-
graphed President Mcbride that the
miners in the southern part of that
state are all out, but that general
suspension will not occur until after
May 2, when state convention is to be
held at Abba.
The situation in Pennsylvania re-
mains practically unchanged. Efforts
are being made to induce the miners at
Turtle Creek pass, who are the only
ones working, to strike. Information
was sent out from Irwin Station, Pa,
to the effect that there was some doubt
about the miners there refusing to quit
work. A telegram from Cameron states
that the miners there have reaffirmed
to man their decision to suspend work.
A telegram from Indian territory
states that every miner in that district
is out. Accessions to the ranks of the
strikers are also reported from the
Kanawha river district of West Vir-
ginia-
AS stated the miners in the Laurel
and Pittsburgh regions of kentucky,
and Jellico and Newcombe regions of
Tennessee, to the number of 1000, are
idle. A telegram was also received
from the Big Sandy district in eastern
Kentucky that the miners there had
refused to go to work Monday morning,
swelling the total number of strikers
in the two states to 5000.
Reports from all parts of Ohio indi-
cate that the strikers are quiet and
peaceable. The Monday mine, near
Nelsonville, o., was fred Monday morn
ing at the mouth of the shaft, and
there is suspicion that it was done
by an incendiary, although there is
no direct evidence on this point.
