CLEVELAND, May 1.-The disorders
which began yesterday with the May
day demonstration of the unemployed
eliminated today in open riots. There
were three separate and bloody conflicts
between the police and rioters, and to-
night the troops are under arms ready
to respond to call in case OF emergency.
The worst is believed to be over, how
ever.
The trouble began before noon, when
a mob of about 1000 started to raid the
factories on the fats and drive from
work the men employed therein. The
frat attack was made at the Variety
Iron works. The windows of the fac
tory were smashed by stones and bricks
and the workmsn fed in a panic. A
force of rs policemen was then called
out. The rioters proceeded, however.
to the Epson Bolt works, where 1900
men were induced to quit work before
the officers arrived.
When the police came on the scene
the men made stand and hurled bricks
at the officers. Orders were given to
charge them with clubs. The rioters
ran like sheep at the first assault, but
their leaders succeeded in rallying them
OH the Abbey street viaduct, bridge
about 1000 feet long. Squads of police
coming up at both ends of the bridge
penned in the crowd and they were
forced to fight their way out. They
made q rush for the officers, bnt at least
8 score of them were dubbed unmerci-
fully before they finally succeeded in
getting away.
During this conflict two anarchists
were leading terrible struggle on their
part. One of them, Thomas Moore, an
old man, was dubbed into submission
and taken to the station in a patrol
wagon, cursing the police and declaring
that this was the happiest day OF his
life.
The firmness Of the police had good
effect, for it resulted in scattering the
rioters in all directions. In the south
end of the city, at the same time, mob
of 800 men drove away the workmen
from the United States salt works, and
were about to make a raid upon the
Cleveland rolling mills. They were met
by Police Officer Herbert and squad OF
10 policemen, who dubbed them until
they were glad to run. At least 30 men
were injured in this fight, but the mob

Ohio National guard to assemble in their

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.

Mr.. Lodge Makes a Futile Attempt to
Provoke Controversy.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Senate procsed-
ings were rather dull today, most of the
afternoon being consumed by Senator
Squire of Washington, who made care
fully prepared speech in general opposi-
ton to the tariff bill. Before he began,
Mr.. Lodge of Massachusetts, undertook
to enact the role of tormentor. He
threw out some exasperating challenges
to the Democratic side, but the Demo-
Gratis refused to be drawn into contro-
versy. and finding his efforts unsuccess-
full, he turned the floor over to Mr..
Squire.
Before the tariff bill WAS taken up, Mr..
Hoar tried to pasa his anti-lottery bill,
but it met considerable opposition from
Senators Vest and German, ON the
ground that it was interfering with raf-
fies and drawings at church fairs, and
made participants guilty of felony. vi.
timately the bill went over without &C.
tion.

1t May Coms Up for Discussion in the
Senate To-day.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-If the agree
ment made in the senate two weeks ago
lie observed. the tariff debate will be
suspended tomorrow to permit the sen
ate to consider the Chinese treaty. The
observance OF the treaty will probably
depend upon the wishes Of Senator Nor
gan, as chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, who has bsen absent
from the senate several days. His leave
OF absence will expire tomorrow. and if
he should be present tomorrow and ex-
press desire to have the treaty consid-
cred, his wishes would doubtless be
complied with. If, on the other hand,
he should express wish to have con-
sideration postponed, the Democratic
manager. OF the tariff debate will acqui-
esce willingly.
Inc nrst qnastinn to be determined in
connection with the trsatv il the motion
of Senator Mitchell that it be discnsssd
and action taken upon it in open ssssiaI,
1t is the purpose of the Republican
senators from the Pacific coast to antag-
onize the treaty by all the arts at their
command. end they will require consid-
cradle time for the expression of their
views.

WASHINGTON, May Postmaster
General Bissell has formulated policy
of barring saloon keepers and bartenders
from appointment as postmasters. In
accordance with this plan whore there
are several candidates the fact that
any of them have business dealings
with saloons will be given weight, and
the other candidates will be given pref
erence il making appointments. Post
master General Bissell said:
1T is not a temperance question nor
moral question, it is business ques-
ton particularly, and the postoffice de-
partmsnt is a business institution.
From my observation and experience
am convinced any man directly or indi-
rectly interested in the liquor business
is in a measure untitled by his occupa-
ton. and that his interest in that BUSH
ness necessarily interferes with q full
discharge of such official duties in any
branch of the postal SERVICE"

THE OUTFLOW or GOLD.

Indications That the $iOO.O0o,OO0 Re-

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The indications
are that the usual spring outflow of gold
has at last set in. Advices at the treas
ury department show that about 81, $780,
600 in gold was shipped by the Teutonic
today, and $l,000.000 has already been
engaged for shipment next Saturday.
OF course the amount of expectation
will depend entirely upon the rate of
foreign exchange. butt if the present high
figure is maintained, it ia almost certain
some heavy shipments will be made
next Saturday.
The treasury statement OF today shows
net gold on hand to the amount of
800, 298,0 900. Todsy's shipments. bow
ever, will not appear in this daily state
msnt until tomorrow. and when the en-
gagements for today and Saturday are
added the balance will only be about
$97 800 600. The cash balance today was

NOT A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.

Representative johnson of Ohio Creates
Sensation in the House.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Reprssentativ i've
johnson (Dsm.) of Ohio created sen
sAtion in the house today by introducing
resolution calling for a congressional
investigation OF the beating of citizens
by the police during the Coxey demon
stration at the capitol yesterday. He
urged it as q question OF privilege, de-
claring the offense purported to be de-.
tense of the members of congress.
Speaker Crisp ruled the resolution
not q question of personal privilege and
out of order. johnson asked unanimous
consent to Immediately consider the res
Olution, but there was q chorus OF obiec-
tions and the resolution was thus sum-
marily killed.
Mr.. Johnson said not only was the
regular police force marshalled in front
OF the capitol, but several hundred dep
uties had been sworn in, inexperienced
and excitable men, who had lost their
heads and dubbed innocent people.
Mr.. Cultivate OF Ohio broke in with
the remark that it was beneath the dig
nifty OF the house to investigate police
courts. and the speaker ruled that the
resolution did not present question OF
privilege.

move to refer to the committee on public
buildings and grounds"

DULUTH, Mimi, May 2.-Telegrams
were received this afternoon by Sheriff
Sharvey from every mining center in the
Mssabs range, stating that the miners
had stopped work at every mine and
that the situation was critical. One tel
egram was from D. III. Bacon, from the

the Auburn mine, and urged immediate
action. The sheriff at once telegraphed
Governor Nelson, asking permission to
call on the militia, and If this permits
sion is given the sheriff will order the
Duluth companies to the scene of the
trouble tonight. In any event the sher-
if, with force OF deputies, will go there
tonight.
ST. PAUL, May 2.-Governor Nelson
received a call from the sheriff OF St.
Louis county for the militia to help sup.
press the disorder reported among the
strikers on the Mesaba range. Before
issuing the order he sent the adjutant-
general to Duluth to look over the
ground and decide whether there ia any
necessity for such action, it not being
thought the sheriff has exhausted hia
other means o! suppreesing the trouble.
DULUTH. May 2.-Late tonight word
was received from Governor Nelson Civ
ing the sheriff permission to call out
troops. The acknowledgement will have
charge. The sheriff has decided to wait

NEW YORK, May 1.-The Post says:
A curious factor in the trading in indus

programme for the trusts. Senators,
in short, were described So doubling
whether it would 'look well' to cut a

good ouudation-which is uncertain
Wall street suspects from old experience
that some of the gentlemen in question
have no regard for appearances. But
the rumor today really confirmed a
lurking doubt in the minds of specul at
ors as to the general upshot OF this lob
bying performance, and on this score
encouraged selling Of the stocks.
