NOTING STRIKERS.


SoUrH CmcAGo, H., May 0--That
the temper of the strikers IS still
ugly was shown by riot which
occurred mt Eighty-hfth street and
Buffalo avenue about III o'clock
Wednesday morning. The scene of
the riot, which occurred over
a trivial matter, was over a mile from
the Illinois Steel works at the railroad
tracks. NJ. Peterson, one of the
strikers was making loud declarations
about what he would do to the
Illinois Steel company and crowd of
sympathizers was rapidly gathering
around his man when officer McCaffrey
attempted TO arrest him. The officer
was Immediately set upon by a crowd
of about 200 persons and badly beaten.
Peterson threw piece of Stag which cut
the officers head and felled him 10 the
ground. II looked serious for the
officer when help arrived and the mob
was held off until several wagon
loads of reinforccments from Hyde Park
and Woodlawn arrived when IL was
quickly dispersed. Peterson was the
only man arrested. An ugly knife was
found on his person, All Is quiet at
the steel works, but the guard has re-
doubled its vigilance and trouble Is ex-
pected
The works are closed down except
the plate mills, where about 400 men
are employed. A few men are en-
ployed here and there about the yards
loading and unloading vessels.

CHERRY REPLIES.
He Asks Secretary Morton for More Light
on the SILVER Question.

DENVER, Col, May o.-James A..
Cherry has mailed a reply 20 the letter
addressed TO him by Secretary Morton,
given TO the public on Tuesday. He
informs the secretary that his letter
has not given him the information on
the silver question he had hoped it
would. IL does not make IL clear that
values cannot be affected by legisla-
ton. whereas ii has seemed 10 him
that legislation could affect values
both locally and generally. Mr.. Cherry
continues;
did the fall Of silver from 1873 TO 1893 cause
the legislation of 1872 You ask what sent
silver down In 1903 10 eighty-four cents an
ounce. Surely the fall In its value was not the
cause Of legislation that preceded H. IL was
tho effect OF IL. Again. the senate OF the
United states passed bill In 1871 which
provided for the free coinage OF silver
IN this country. II was believed that tho
bill would pass the house aud probably be
signed by President Harrison and become law
Silver jumped within a week from about %
cents an ounce 20 SLi7 an ounce. That rise.
remember, was not confined 70 this country.
IL made a corresponding jump In Europe. We
cannot get confused over the proper place to
put cause and effect In this instance
Make silver into money. give II all Its old
uses and there will be q demand for Il. And
what demandl How men would work and
sweat and risk for H. and what JOY and good IL
would bring the world You coin a. Mr. Nor
ton. and give II these uses and | will furnish
the demand.
Everything Is now measured In gold. and

The silver countries IN account OF gold ar-
probation are commencing TO do all OF their
own manufacturing. With the loss OF our
manufacturing supremacy our commercial SUI
premacy Is In danger
These facts when they are understood, are
likely 10 cause financial revolution. unless IL
IS made clear that IL Is not due 70 a mistake In
