STRIKERS GOING BACK.
One Hundred Street Railway En-
ployes Said to Have Made
Application.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 10.-Supt. f.
E. Mitten received twenty-five more APP
plications from the street car company's
former employees yesterday, making a
total of about 100 who have applied for
reinstatement. The men are put upon a
reserve list TO await their turn. The
extra list is already much larger than
usual, which would indicate that some
would have a long wait, but General
Manager Wyman says that quite a
number of the new men were leaving for
various reasons. some having families
and not caring to remain so far from
home.
The striking street railway men
marched in body from their hall at
Chestnut and Third streets yesterday
afternoon to the treasurer's office in the
Masonic building on Jefferson street and
drew the money due them from the COM
pany. Yesterday morning meeting was
held at Liederkranz hall and the strik-
ers took the opposite position to that of
Monday, when they declared that they
would not draw their money. A number
of them also called for the deposit of
SIS which is required of each conductor.
A vote as to whether or not the ''strike
should be continued" was made unani-
nous in the affirmative. About 400 at
tended the meeting.

pany, with a quantity of freight, and the
Office were also consumed The loss is
placed at $S0,000 with partial insurance.
The fire broke out at 10:30 on the roof
of the engine house, and was probably
caused by a spark from the boiler fur
mace. The elevator stood at the north
ern extremity of dock extending about
400 feet down Fox river from the Chi
cago & North Western depot. The dis
lance of the building from land pre-
vented the use of the waterworks sy vs.

WANT A NEW CONSTITUTION.
Dissatisfaction in the Lawrence Univer-

Dissatisfa elton in the Lawrence UniVer-
sity Oratorica1 Association.
Appleton, Wis, June 9.-[Special. 1.-The
Lawrence University Oratorical associa-
ton held a meeting Monday to adopt a
new constitution for the organization.
The association is composed of the four
literary societies of the college, but some
time ago the Philalatheans withdrew
from the organization because the consti-
tuition thereof excluded preparatory stu
dents and members of all classes other
than the regular college classes from par
ticipation in the oratorical contests. The
object of the meeting was to adopt q
constitution which should do away with
the objections of the Philalathean So
ciety and the lower class men. Several
amendments to this effect were proposed,
but all were rejected, and the only action
taken was to refer the new constitution,
which is practically the same as the old
to the societies for ratification. 1t is
certain to be rejected by the Philalathe-
ans on the same grounds as before.
Officers are to be elected by the societies
and ratified by the association. Another
meeting is to be held today, when the
matter Will be reconsidered and the ora
tors selected for next years contest.
The final examinations of the year at
Lawrence University are to be held this
week, and next week will be given up
entirely to the commencement exercises.
