CURsING THE BLUECoATs
How the Striking NOrkmen at CIeveIan
Ohio, Spent the Day.


| Cleveland, o., July 3.-Conditions at
the Brown Hosting company's works
this morning, indicated that the crisis
was near at hand and that tonight
would be the witness of one of the most
serious labor troubles the city has ever
experienced. Despite the riots and the
killing of William Rettger last evening
quite a number of non-union men APP
peared at the works this morning and
took their places in the shops. The po-
lice were on hand in large numbers,
but there was no danger Of immediate
trouble. The feeling of unrest among
the workmen in the manufacturing dis
trict was more in tense than il has been
at any stage of the strike. Groups of
men on their way to work idled along
the streets to denounce the police and
the soldiers. The feeling against May
or McKisson and his cabinet was very
bitter
The body of William Rettger, who was
killed last night, was removed to his
fathers home on Hadley street and
many of his fellow-workmen came to
view the remains. Many shed tears,
but when the men left the house and
saw the blue-coats they cursed and
many a threa tening remark was made
from the church of the Immaculate Con-
ception on Sunday and viii undoubted-
ly be one of the largest ever held in the
city. Every workman in the city will
be invited 20 attend and invitations viii
also be sent to every union in northern
Ohio. The men will wear the white
ribbon and it is thought that they will
turn out 10000 or so, 600 men. The struc-
tunal iron workers union held a meet
ing today and action was taken con-
demning the mayor and the police in
the strongest terms Many of the shops
closed earlier than usual in order that
the men could be on hand.
Several companies of militia were I'M
der arms at their various armories thro'
out the city, ready to be on the scene
tonight when the men should come out
OF the Brown works.
There is feeling of great unrest
among the employees of the Cleveland
City Railroad company. Last night
when Company F boarded a car TO go TO
the center of the city, the conductor
promptly stepped of and refused TO
conduct a car which carried soldiers.
The mayors proclamation fOrbidding
all persons from cOngregating in the vi
cinity of the Brown works was posted
in various places about the city this
morning.

Washington Park Races.

Chicago July 3.--T'he bicycle races de-
layed the sulky events this afternoon at
Washington park and a rain interfered
with the completion of the free-fOr-all
pace, of which but one heat was finish
ed. This was the most interesting Of
the races. 1t brought out such cracks
as Frank Agan, W. W. Padge, Colonel
Ridge, and Direction. ". W. p went
out and set such a merry clip that il
hooked as if he had everything beaten,
especially as Frank Agan broke soon
after the start. But on the far turn
Colonel Badge and Frank Agan moved
up and got within hailing distance.
Down the stretch it looked as if Frank
Agan would overhaul the leader, but
despite McCarthy's efforts with the
whip he passed safe under the loop. He
made the fatal mistake of drawing the
whip. This was close to the wire and
w. w. p. clearly had Agan beaten, but
the whip caused w. w. 2. to go into the
air and the judges set him back, giving
the heat to Frank Agan. There was
considera bic criticism of the decision,
although w. w. z. was in a break
when he went under the wire. Badge
finished third, and Direction fourth.
The latter was far back all the way.

WHIPPING HIS WEIGHT.
The Champion Logger Overestimatsd His
Fistic Ability 10 HIs sorrow.


In the logging camps of Michigan
might makes right and the man who has
whipped all corners in fair fights is
king of his camp.
One of these, said logger, was very
boastful of his exploits. He had been
the victor in a dozen fights and no one
cared TO enter the lists with him, but
every man in the camp hated the
champion. Going into q saloon one
day he announced: Pm tired of these
babies in camp. Iain't had q good fight
in Michigan. l can whip my weight in
dogs, wildcats or anything that breathes
for s1Oo."
A meek-looking man took the bet and
arrangements for the fight were made.
It was 10 take place ia closed room
one week from the time the bet was
made.
The day came and the champion
called: Bring on your animals" The
man who had bet against the king Of
the camp brought his antagonist in u
large sack, which had been deposited
behind the stove in the saloon where the
match had been entered into, the
weather just beginning to get cold. Tho
gladiator entered the room, the sack
was emptied and the people crowded at
the window to see the contest. Out of
the sack came three large hornet nests,
the occupants of which had been revived
by the heat.
They issued from the nests in swarIns
and lit all over the man. He fought
them for a minute or two, then. with
yell, jumped through the window, car
rying sash and glass with him, never
stopping until he reached the river, into
which he jumped.
"Said he could whip his weight in
anything that breathed," remarked the
meek little man, as he pocketed tho
stakes. but about Ave pounds of hornets
knocked him out in the first round."-

Evacuation Day Instead of Independence
Day. This Year.
Detroit, July 3-Instead of formally
celebrating Independence Day, Detroit
Will, a week later, celebrate the centen-
NAL anniversary of the evacuation by
the British of Detroit and the northwest
territory.
The governors of all the northwestern
states, with their STATS, have been in
vited, as have also the president and
cabinet, members of the United States
supreme court, most of the foreign am
bassadors and many other distinguish
ed men. The chief orator of the day
will be Governor O'Ferrall of Virginia,
VINO will be accompanied by his staff
The main exercises will be held in and
about the new incompleted government
building, which stands upon a portion
of the very site of old Fort Lernoult,
afterwards called Fort Selby, which
was the structure evacuated by the
British on July II, 1896. By this act the
northwest territory first came into the
possession Of the United States.
The treaties of 1882 and 1888 provided
for the surrender of the western terri
tory by the English, but the evacuation
of Detroit did not take place until thir-
teen years later, having been delayed
by pretexts of unsettled claims and pro-
tst of traders. Jays final treaty,
made in 1894, provided for the evacua>
ton of Detroit on or before June /, 1896,
and the actual surrender took place July
II. The exercises will consist of unveil-
ing a memorial tablet in the entrance
of the federal building, historical ad-
dresses, and Governor O'Ferrall's ora
ton and a parade of federal and state
troops and naval battallions and other
military and patriotic organizations.
