INDIANAPOLIS, March ola riot broke
out tonight between the non-union men
employed in the iron works Of Chandler
e. Taylor and number of strikers and
their sympathizers. Three men, William
Watson, Walker Davis and Hook Lee,
we're shot, Davis fatally, and a number
of men were more or less injured by fly
ing stones and bricks. The trouble
originated over the fact that a number
OF non union men are employed in the
works, taking the places OF members of
the union. a number Of fights have oc-
Cured at different times and the
workmcn were constantly under police
guard. Tonight the officers started to
take them to their homes, when they
were set upon by mob. 1t is estimated
that no less than 5000 persons were in
| the neighborhood at the time, many of
them taking part in the fight. The non
| union men opened fire first, after being
peIted with bricks and stones. The fire
was returned by the strikers. The mer
shot were all bystandcrs and had moth
ing to do with the trouble. One police
man was also seriously injured by being
struck with brick. A number of ar
rests were made.

POLITICAL EQUALITY CLUB.

A Good Attentlance-varied and Inter
esting Program.
The public meeting of the Political
Equality club was held Friday evening
at the Methodist church, and the pro-
gram as printed in The TRIBUNE was
followed with one exception only; Judge
Race was not present to deliver his
promised address.
The orchestra furnished good music
and the meeting was opened by prayer
by Rev. IL. Russell. Mrs. Dann's open
ing address covered the early period
when women could not hold property or
control their own wages. Mrs. Damn
added personal "reminiscences of Eliza
beth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, Lucre-
tia Mott and the army nurse, Mrs. Bick-
erdyke.
Rev. A. j. Williamson paid tribute
to Obsriin college as the first one opened
to women, and to the many noble women
who had been trained there, including
Lucy Stone, whose picture, draped with
suffrage yellow and the suffrage sun
flowers, occupied prominent place at
the speakers side.
Rev. l.. l.. Shearer has been member
of the local club since its beginning, in
February, lS9o, and advocated ia his ad-
dress full suffrage for women. In speak
ing of the possibility of women holding
public Office, he referred to the fact that
one Of the highest positions in the world
has long been held by a woman, and
that her English subjects are unanimous
in her praise.
Mrs. Marion's paper on Wyoming de-
serves especial notice, as it was made up
largely OF official testimony of the Won
derful success OF woman suffrage in
Wyoming during twenty seven years
practical use AN ounce of experiment
is worth ton OF theory"
Mrs. Benner recited a humorous poem
by Phoebe Cary, entitled, WAS He Hen
Pecked?" This received the applause it
fully deserved.
Rev. Riggin wss glad to add his testi-
mony to the Wyoming success of woman
suffrage, having been resident of that
state for years. He was obliged to cut
his address very short, as the evening
was almost spent, but he showed a com
mand of his subject, and the club will
give him double time whenever the op-
portunity offers.
Sixty persons, by actual count, were
present, and the meeting proved that
there is enough suffrage sentiment in
Great Falls to warrant the coming of
Mrs. Emma Smith Devoe this spring.

ballots to select the second delegate,
Judge Eli Torrance being finally chosen.
Among the defeated candidates was eX-

DAY IN CONGRESS-
Senator Morgan Takes New Tack
in Regard to the Cuban
Resolutions.
CLEVELAND TO GO ON RECORD
The House Amuses Itself Censuring
Minister Bayard for His
Speeches.

WASHINGTON. March 2O.-Just before
the senate adjourned today Senator
Morgan, who reported tie Cuban reso'
lutions originally and has from the start
taken prominent part il the senate de-
bate favorable to the recognition of the
Cubans. introduced the following: Re,
solved by the senate and house Of repre-
sentatives Of the United States in CON
gress assembled, That it is hereby
declared that q state of public war eX-
lists IN the island Of Cuba between the
government Of Spain and the people Of
that island, who are supporting a separ-
ate government undor the name Of the
republic of Cuba, and state of belliger-
ence between said governments is hereby
recognized
The significance Of the resolution is
that it is joint resolution instead of a
concurrent, and that it is confined to
the bare recognition of be!ligerency upon
the basis Of declaration that state of
war exists in Cuba. Senator Morgan
said, in reply to question, that it was
his purpose to afford those who had OBJ
jected to the concurrent form Of the
original senate AID house resolutions
and had eNpressel, willingness to sup
port a Joint resolution a chance to make
good their promises. The resolution
was, at MorgaLs request, allowed to lie
on the table and was referred to the
committee or foreign relations. His pur-
pose in seeking this disposition of it is to
be able to consider the resolution with
out delay He says he will try to call it
up on Monday, regardless of the concur
rent resolutions now before the senate
on a conference report, and that he
hopes it can be passed with but little de-
lay. Morgan also says that, so far as he is
concerned, he is willing that any meas
ure passed by congress should be sent
to the president, as is necessary with
joint resolution, for his approval or dis
approval.
