Causes n Riot ut Oshkosh, WIS.,, In
Which One Man Is Killed
Militia Called Out.

Oshkosh, Wis, June 24.-Striking
woodworkers numbering nearly 1000
made riotous demonstra ton Thursday
morning by guarding the approaches to
the factory Of Morgan company and pre-
venting nonunion men from going to
work. Wives of the strikers took part
in a number of assaults, pelting the men
with eggs. Later when the members of
the Morgan company appeared on the
scene threats were so significant that
they turned back. They say that the
factory will be closed indefinitely. The
chief of police has turned over the man
agement of the strikers to the sheriff,
who has sworn in so deputies, and will
attempt to preserve order at the factory
of Radford Bros.
Shortly before six o'clock the mob
started for McMillan's mill. 1t was
about 1000 strong, and as usual COM
posed largely of women. Warming had
been sent ahead and the gates to the
yard were closed. Five hydrants were
opened and the hose turned on the
crowd, but they were not to be kept
back. They broke in the gates and
took possession. Police and deputies
were of no avail. All of the working
men received severe beatings. Ed Casey,
the big Irish engineer, was struck in the
face with a stone. He retaliated by
hitting the thrower, James Morris, over
the head with wrench, killing him. To
save Casey then from the vengeance of
the mob, was all the police and deputies

ties, was egged and jeered.
Oshkosh, Wis, June 25.-The city is
in a fever of excitement. The arrival of
the militia from Milwaukee at four
o'clock added to the tension, but it
prevented another outbreak The
strikers had planned an attack on the
factory of the Paine Lumber company
at six in the morning, but when they
reached the ground soldiers stood
ready to receive them and the mob
faded into thin air.
The troops here are companies 2,
G, f and III of the Fourth regiment, the
light horse cavalry and a battery of
artillery with two Calling guns, all from
Milwaukee. They are in command of
Brig. Gen. Boardman, who has opened
headquarters at the city hall. He has
issued orders to the troops directing
them to protect life and property. If
necessary, they are to fire upon the mob.
not without warning them to desist and
get out of the way. The Paine, McMh-
Ian, Radford, Morgan and Williamson
factories, five in all, started up at noon
under protection of the militia, and no
further rioting was anticipated.
Midnight-The militia has the wood
workers strike well in hand. The death
of a nonunion man assaulted on Thurs
day is reported. The casualties now
number two dead and - injured. The
factory of the Paine Lumber company,
the largest in the world, was in opera
ton all day with a reduced force and
guarded by soldiers.

OTTERSPOOL'S
CLOSE CALL
British Ship Twenty-Seven Days From
Honolulu, Arrived this Morning;
Came Near Going Ashore

ASTORIA, Sept. 3.-The British ship
Otterspool, twenty-seven days from
Honolulu, which arrived IN this morn
ing, had a narrow escape from going
ashore on Tillamook rock Friday noon.
Captain Reid states that thick fog pre-
vailed, and the vessel was making for
the mouth of the river, when all at once
the lookout shouted, "Breakers ahead !"
The helm was put hard down and it was
found that the ship was only about
three lengths from the rock. The wind
was favorable and the Otterspool soon
sailed out of danger. Captain Reid said
that for some reason no fog horn was
blowing OIL the rock. Soon afterward
he heard the lightship's foghorn blowing
at the mouth of the river.
Captain Reid was compelled to ship a
green crew OF Japanese from Honolulu,
it being impossible to get white men.
The Japanese were shipped by the har-
Dor police, land Captain Reid was assured
they could be paid off on arriving at
this port. On arriving here this morn
ing he found that the men could not be
landed, and he will either carry them to
Europe or pay their way bac'1 tn Homo
lulu. The Otterspool comes here with
out a charter.

CAMP WIKoFF, Sept. 3.-The great camp
will dissolve during the three coming
weeks, and by October 1st it Will have
shrunk to slender proportions. The
well men, according to the war depart
ment's designs, will leave the camp as
fast as transportation can be convenient
ly obtained, probably at the rate of three
to four thousand q week. The GONZALES
cent from hospitals, instead of again be-
ing sent into camp, will go at once to
their homes.
The president, Secreretary Alger and
General Wheeler had talk about it,
and although General Wheeler thought
the men would do we'll in camp until
October lst, it was determined to con-
tinue sending them away. The regulars
taken from the posts east of the Missis-
eippi will, according to the present di-
rections, be sent where they were before
the war. The war department has not
transmitted the order to General Shafter

HIS SKULL
CRUSHED.
Horses He Was Driving Ran Away
His Companions Escaped Prac-
tically Unhurt.

ASTORIA, Ore, Sept. 3.-A specia! to
the Astorian from Ilwaco, says:
A runaway accident, which will pro-
badly result in the death of Orrin Belk-
nap, of this place, occurred today. Miss
Anna Belknap and Mrs. Ross had been
in the country, visiting Mrs. Belknap
Today Orrin Belknap started for town
with the women. When about four
miles from town the horses became
frightened, and the efforts of the driver
to control them were unavailing. They
dashed along the road at great speed
overturning the carriage and throwing
the occupants to the ground. Belknap
lit on his head. His skull was crushed
and his shoulder broken, and he suffered
other injuries. Mrs. Ross received a
deep cash over the right eye, but was
not otherwise hurt. Miss Belknap es-
capped without injury. Belknap was
brought to his home here for treat
ment. His injuries are very serious,
and it is thought by the attending physi-
clan that he cannot recover. HIS skull
is frightfully crushed, and he is suffer-
ing from concussion of the brain. The
fall rendered him unconscious. in
which condition he still lies. The in
jured man is well-known shere. Miss
Belk1ap and Mrs. Ross are teachers in
the public schools.

Americans Favor Holding Of
the Philippines.
REPORTS FROM OUR CONSULS
Majority of Peace Commission are OPP
posed to Giving Up Fruits of Our
Victory in the Orient.

WAsHINGFoN, Sept. Private letters
from our consuls abroad indicate that
the Philippines must be retained if the
United States desires to maintain its po-
sition in the world of nations. A very
prominent officer in the consular service
days:
You people may as well make up
your minds to be somebody or get off
the earth.'
These reports show that our people
abroad feel that they must do something
thing to MAINTAIN their position. If, af-
ter such successful war as has been
fought and won I'VE should sacrifice every
thing VIC have secured, nations abroad
would have very little respect for us.
Our consuls not only write iu favor OF
the retention of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, but are also anxious
that the Nicaragua canal should be
built, and that a navy commensurate
with the development of the country
should be built and maintained.
AS to the sentiment of congress and of
the people, it seems to be all going one
way. If Dewey had not won the great
victory of May 1st at Manila, congress
never would have passed the resolutions
annexing the Hawaiian islands. At
least, it could not have been put through
at the last session of congress. The peo-
pie who voted for the annexation, who
had been opposed to it heretofore, did
so because they thought the Philippines
would be ours after Dewey's victory.
The personnel of this commission in
dicates that such will be the case. Secre-
tary Day may be for or against retention.
He will do whatever the president wants
at the time. and will be the mouth-piece
of the president at the Paris tribunal.
He will no doubt be in cable communi-
cation with the president every day on
the subject, and whatever the president
wants at the particular time the COM
mission votes or acts, Day will support.

Some time since the Glasgow Town
Council advertised for 1000 tons of iron
piping. Upon opening the bids it was
found that a Philadelphia firms offer
was the lowest by several hundred pounds
That foreign firm should thus be put in
the way of getting the contract over local
firms was embarrassing. and an excuse
was sought to give the Glasgow firms an
other chance. 1t was found that the Phil
adelphia offer was for 12-feet piping, In
stead of Y-feet, as advertised, although
the chief engineer said the difference In
length was not material. Consequently
all offers were rejected and new bids solic-
tied. This time the Glasgow firms
brought their prices down little, but
the Philadelphia firm had also reduced its
hid and its offer was the lowest. The
committee, notwithstanding, decided that
a Glasgow firms bid was the best, and
recommended the Council to give it the
entire contract. An amendment, how
ever. was carried in the council that the
Philadelphia firm be given three-sevenths
of the contract and thu Glasgow firm
four-sevenths.
