New York, July ga marvellous
change has come over the strike as
pect in this city. Last night there was
rioting from one end OF Second avenue
10 h other. There was promise. too.
by General Master Workman Parsons
OF a complete tie up OF the trolley lines
in Manhattan, with its -consequen in
spring effect upon the Brooklyn strik-
ers.
A general tie-up has not come by
any means in New York. There was
little or no rioting on Second avenue
today or tonight. The cars on that line
ran throughout the day almost as they
had run previous to the strike. The
Eighth avenue line, which the strike
officials asst night promised would be
dead today. was moving right on time.
with only a hitch now and then far up
in Harlem. where a few roughs had a
clear field to run.
There is no strike on the Madison ave
nue. line, a scheduled meeting Of the
car men Of that line having fizzled out
tonight. Practically no trolley line in
New York city is affected save the
Second venue.
In Brooklyn the Rapid Transit Com
pany put on several hundred new men,
or have them ready for duty, and in a
general way the cars on the affected
lines in that borough ran on good time
with what seemed to be a fair increase
in passenger traffic.
Genera Master Workman Parsons
has called a mass meeting for tomorrow
night, at which he hopes to have pres
sent representatives of $50 labor organ
i0nrinr- 81 Nraatnr NAu- v1rL
The strike, according to a statement
made by President RoSsiter. a so far
cost the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany $55, 600, or an average of Sill 900 a
day, since IL was started last Sunday
morning.
Cleveland, o., July 20.-Rioting was
resumed in the street railway strike
this evening, serious outbreaks having
occurred in several places. About 3
O'Clock a dynamite cartridge was ex-
ploded under the wheels Of a Euclid
avenue car, at the corner of Erie and
Prospect streets. The wheels of the car
were destroyed by the explosion, which
was heard for a distance of two miles,
n one woman, a passenger, tainted,
but nobody was injured. There was no
crowd in the vicinity, nor was anybody
seen to place the cartridge. Earlier in
the evening a mob attacked a cross
town car on Wilson avenue, neal the
corner Of Lexington avenue. Stones
were thrown and the ~non-union on
ductor and motorman fired revolvers at
the crowd. 1t is said a woman was
shot through the wrist, but the police
deny this. About the same time all the
available police on duty in the down
town district were called to the Hum
boldt street viaduct on the Broadway
line, where a riot was in progress. A
crowd of 1000 men and boys were en-
gagged in piling distractions on the
tracks. Ropes were thrown over the
trolley wires in the attempt to pull them
down. Only one policeman was on duty
: at the aduct. He was stone and
driven from the scene, and a girl was
hit with a stone and seriously hurt
Three patrol wagon loads of police re-
sponded to the call and the mob was
dispersed. 1t is feared that more DAM
6 will be don before morning.

Chicago, July 20.-A special TO The
Tribune from Cincinnati, O., says:
Brigadier General Thomas NJ. Ander-
son, who is at the St Nicholas said
today:
Il believe tina if we had o been
held back / could have finished the war
with my own division, and General
Lawton, who relieved me, Is OF the
same opinion. The trouble Is that We
fellows went over there to fight, while
there were others who attended to the
politics and diplomacy. The only time
that General Otis and myself disagreed
was on this point. l held that the war
should be pursued to completion, while
his policy was still that Of concilia-
fion."
