More Rio,ous Scenes At Cleveland,
Cleveland, O., Aug. 2.-The renewal
of the strike at the Brown Hosting
Works resulted in bloodshed yesterday.
The trouble began early in the morn
ing when a mob surrounded the house
Of one of the non-union workmen and
bombarded 1t with stones and bricks.
breaking the windows and even smash
ing the weatherboards. The police
hearing Of this trouble prepared for an
outbreak at noon when the non-union
men should be dismissed from work.
A party Of these workmen, disregard
Ing the efforts Of the police to protect
them, started to walk away from the
works. They had not gone far when
they were met by a mob. First the
rioters began to shout at the non-un-
ionists and then to throw bricks. And
then workingmen drew relovers and
began shooting at the crowd. Several
shots were fired, but only one took ef-
feet. John Prinz, foundry man, fell
to the pavement, shot through the
body, and was taken to the hospital.
Soon after the shooting the police ar
rived on the scene, but the mob had
disappeared and all was quiet. This
outbreak resulted In the calling out Of
two companies of militia, and by the
middle Of the afternoon eighty police
men, in addition to the military, had
been massed in the vicinity Of the
Brown works. No more trouble occur
red. It Is thought that long and bit
ter struggle will ensue. The manager
Of the Brown Works says the agree
ment for the settlement Of the strike
was well understood by the representa-
tives Of the strikers and the company
stood ready to live up to its terms.
The violation of the agreement by the
men. he says, absolves the company
from any further consideration Of them
and enables It to begin all over on a
new basis. This Is taken to mean that
the company will proceed to hire new
men.

DARLINGTON BOOTH IS ANGRY
Politely Says Booth-Tucker Il . Chronic
PrevAricator.

=
Prevaricator.
New York, Aug. 1.-Ballington Booth,
commander Of the Volunteers of Amer
lea, made the following statement to-
day In reply to a statement made by
Commander Booth-Tucker:
II have read in the San Francisco
press Of the oath inst. the statement
Of Commander Booth-Tucker and am
amazed that he can dare to continue
thus to flagrantly misrepresent the
cause Of the Volunteers. Booth-Tucker
knows he misleads the public when
stating that We have only two posts of
strength. We have 100 ofiicered, Or
ganized, separate posts and we are not
afraid to leave the public to Judge of
their comparative strength, financially
as well as numerically.
HE again willfully seeks to injure
the Volunteers by asserting we have
many more foreign officers than Amer
lean. In our headquarters and New
York regiment alone we have 121 Of
flcers, of whom ninety-four are Ameri-
can born.
"Such statements as the above are
the result Of grossest ignorance or a
wilful intent to damage an American
institution and the charges that Indian
missionaries have brought against
Booth-Tucker Of being a perverter Of
facts seem to be confirmed by his pro-
ceedure on the coast.
1.-THE Volunteer movement, though
not five months old, progresses beyond
all expectations. We are not talking
Of all we purpose doing but are rather
quietly doing 1t. Many scores Of the
most prominent and respected citizens.
among whom are over 1,7OO defenders
and subscribers bear witness to the In.
accuracy Of BoothTucker's statements
and to our phenomenal advance.
