OSCAR WILDE RELEASED.
Lord Douglas and . Clergyman Were
His Boudsmen.


His Boudsmen.
London, May Oscar Wilde was
released on bail today after furnishing
personal bonds for $la, 500 and two
sureties for %, $50 each. The sureties
were Lord Douglas of Hawick, eldest
surviving son of the Marquis of Queens
berry, and Rev. Stewart Headlam, a
graduate Of Cambridge university.
The latter said:
81 became surety for Oscar Wilde
ON public grounds l felt the public
mind was predjudiced before the case
began, and am anxious to give him
any help possible to enable him to
stand trial in good health and spirits"
At 1880 Wilde was driven in a cab
from Holwsy Jail to Bow street police
court, where the bail was formally ac-
cepted. Then, in company with Lord
Douglas Of Hawick Wilde left the
court. Wilde will probably leave Lon.
don at once for the seaside.
The statement Of c. +. Gill, counsel
for the prosecution. that the Wilde case
will undoubtedly be retired. was made
without the authority of the procecu.
ton. 1t has not been determined
whether the government will take steps
to have Wilde again placed ON trial.
1t is willing he should again be ar
raigned. but it is understood heads if
the church and other persons urge upon
the government the fact that harm has
been done to the public by the adoption
of such course, referring to the
printing Of the details Of the case. In
the meantime the police are ordered
not to maintain too close a watch ON
Wilde's movements, and not to pre-
vent him from going to the continent
If he wishes to 60 there.

A STRIKE IN CHICAGO
Mob Of Striking Steelworkers
Dispersed by Police.
THEY DEMAND HORE WAGES

Maehinlsas Yrea work.

Chicago. May "a serious strike
occurred this morning at the Illinois
Steel Company's plant Twelve hun
dred men threw down their tools and
walked ont The strike resulted from
demand by the furnace men for an in
crease Of wages The company refused
TO grant the raise.
The strike closed two blast furnaces,
two others were undergoing repairs,
and the remaining four were at once
shut down until the conclusion Of tho
strike, the company deciding that it
was unwise to attempt to run until the
matter was settled. This action of the
company threw about 8, 500 men out Of
work, none remaining except the
watchmen and machinists. The strik-
ers were at first disposed to be orderly
and peaceable: but LATER affairs took ON
an ugly aspect, and it was found neces-
sary TO call on the police to drive them
out
Shortly before 6 tonight q crowd of
!. 800 men forced their way past the
watchmen at one Of the gates, and pro.
ceeded to take possession Of the prop
erty. They marched first to where
some Of the laboring men were still at
work. and compelled them to quit
work Not much trouble was expert.
enced with the laborers, but when the
strikers reached the machine shops,
where about 400 mAchinists are en-
ployed, they met with different recep-
ton. The machinists have q scale of
their own, and, as the fight Of the
other men made no particular difference
to them. they refused to quit or allow
themselves to be driven out of the
yards The strikers, who for the most
part were Poles and Hungarians, made
several attempts to persuade the ma
chinists TO leave their work, but find
ing themselves unsuccessful, they began
an attack ON the machine shop with
stones and such missiles as they could
find. The machinists for the most part
stood their ground, and gave the strik-
es as good as they sent The fight was
growing warm, and broken heads and
bloody noses were growing very COM
mon, when the police arrived. They
were under command of Captain Jen-
kins, who at once made a charge on
the mob, with his handful of officers.
The strikers at first refused to give
ground, and the police used their clubs
freely. This did not have the desired
effect, and Captain Jenkins ordered his
men to draw their revolvers and fire
over their heads As soon as this was
done, the mob broke and fed wildly
from the premises Of the company.
The fight lasted only a few minutes,
and there was no more rioting. TWEEN
ty-eight men, who were leaders in the
attack, were arrested and locked up,
charged with rioting. They are Poles
and Bohemians
During the riot in the yards, four
men were painfully injured. Jack
Shepard, a machinist, was struck in
the head with a hammer and badly
hurt. Edward Shaska, a striker, was
badly bruised. Policeman Leinecker
was hit with coupling pin and had
his head badly cut with a brick.
