THE RloTING RESUMED.
The striking Street Car Employees
Create More Lively scenes
at Cleveland.

Cleveland, O., June lathe attempt
of the Big Consolidated Railroad COM
pany to move its cars Monday was at
tended by scenes of wild disorder in
various parts OF the city, though no.
body was hurt and very little damage
was done to property. Cars were run
on two lines ut very irregular intervals,
but without passengers. and mainly
under the protection OF policemen. The
principal work of the mobs, which were
composed largely OF idlers and curious
spectators, was 10 blockade the tracks.
In which they were materially assisted
by accommodating drivers of trucks,
cut trolley ropes and jeer Mt the nom
union men. Occasionally stale eggs
and pieces Of mud were thrown. but
couraged violence, but they did most eff
fective work in inducing the nonunion
men TO quit and in that they were as
sisted by several women, relatives OF
the strikers. who boarded the cars and
pleaded with the new men to leave their
posts. One of these women was pro-
vided with money, and when argument
failed she induced the nonunion men to
quit by paying them. Many of the cars
were left on the lines deserted and were
afterwnrd picked up by inspectors and
taken to the terminals.
The important development OF tho
day was the refusal of the company to
let the state board arbitratc the only
question involved--the recognition OF
the union. The strikers say they feel
greatly encouraged and they will be
better prepared than ever TO resist tho
running Of cars when the attempt Is re-
sumed.

The annual report of the president, Col.

states had laws forbidding the desecra-
ton Of the flag. Among the states
which have taken protective action
during the past year is New York, the
act of whose Legislature in passing and
of Gov. Roosevelt in signing the pro-
hibitory statute was highly commend
ed. The following officers were elected
for the coming year:

ignn Legislature.

Lansing, Mich, June l5.--Application
of the single tax TO Michigan cities

cent. of the taxpayers of the city, which
had passed the senate, was defeated in
the house by vote of so yeas to Al
nays, 81 being n majority of the menu
bers-elect. IL is understood that
Gov. Pingree would have signed the
bill had il been passed. Single tax
advocates are elated over the large vote
the bill received compared with that
obtained for similar measures in for
mcr years.

The Peace Conference VIII Probably
He I'm session Until the Mid
die Of July.

The Hague. June IS. III is now ex-
pected that the peace conference will
not adjourn before the middle of July,
as IL Is thought the labors of the dele
gates will not be finished before that
time, and there is the additional ques-
ton OF the acceptance by the powers
of the decisions adopted by the confer
ence.
The delegates who desire TO see tam
gible results accomplished by the con-
ference recognize that IL the members
are contented with simply transmit
ting the decisions to their respective
governments. the work of the dele
gates will simply be pigeon-holed in
the various chancelleries of Europe and
will not be executed. Therefore. the del
egates have resolved 20 adjourn their
sittings as soon as their work is COM
pleted. and to submit the result to their
respective governments with the re-
quest that the delegates be empowered
to sign definite document. 1t is ex-
pected the governments will keep track
of the progress OF the work. and that
they will require about ten days for de-
liberation on their final decision. which
will bring their final adjournment In
the middle of July.
The refusal Of Great Britain to ac-
cept the stipulations OF the Brussels
conference IL they are made definite
will not prevent other powers from
pledging themselves to action in the
matter. There Is no doubt the Brus-
sells conference subcommittee will
reach practical result. but 1t is pos
sible some powers. while reserving the
right to apply the new stipulations
when necessary. may not consent to
bind themselves forthwith.

BLAMEs THE TARIFF
Henry o. Havemeyer Declares u Re-
sponsibIe for the Existence
of Trusts.

Washington, June 15.-IIenry o.
Hayemcyer. president of the American
Sugar Refining company was examined
BY the industrial commission Wednes-
day In connection with it's invcstiga
ton OF trusts. His testimony related
almost wholly 10 the sugar industry,
and he opened with vigorous attack
upon the customs tariff. which he de-
clarcd was the mother of all trusts, -
becoming such by providing ''inordi-
nate protection 10 manufactured arti-
cIcs." This attack was made in writ
ten statement which the witness had
prepared before making his appearance
before the committee. and which he
read in a ringing voice.

SETTLED AT LAST.
Ambassador Cbonte Receives satis-
factory Temporary Arrange
Incnt OF Alaskan AFFAIR.

London, June 15.--The United States
ambassador here, Joseph III. Choate, has
lust received from the foreign Office
communication on the Alaska question
which. it is understood, is a satisfac-
tory temporary arrangement of the af-
fair.
The officials of the foreign office,
while unwilling to discuss the details,
assure the press that the Alaska diff
culties are practically smoothed over
until the meeting Of the high commits
sion in August.
Washington, june Is. Though graft
fled 10 learn that Lord Salisbury and
Ambassador Choate have succeeded, as
reported from London, in arranging n
modus vivendi relative 10 the Alaskan
boundary line. the state department
had no official confirmation Of the re-
port up 10 the close of business Wedncs-
day. The British embassy also was
without information on the subject
from any official source. but there is no
disposition to discredit the report. as
il is realized that the issues between
the parties had narrowed to almost in
significant proportions, and IL was De-
lieved to be a matter oil only a few days
before the agreement would he reached.
The point of interest i'm the matter is
that any modus that is signed by the
United States ambassador will leave
the whole of the Lynn canal within the
United States lines.

Mcxico,s Gold produ.tion.

City Of Mexico, June President
Robinson, of the Mexican Central rail-
way, has estimated that Mexico will
probably produce si2,0oo.00O worth of
gold this year, and predicts that when
the richer mines are reached by rail-
ways Mexico's gold production will rise
TO $25,00o,o0o or $30,0oo,00o annually.
The best miners here agree that Presi-
dent Robinson Is right In his calculn-
tions. There is q steady increase in the
gold production OF Mexico.

THE TRADE SITUATION.

Failures for a Week.

NEW York. Juno Ar q. Dun q Co.'S
weekly review OF trade says: ''Tho past
week mas brought rise In prices not
equaled IN any other week OF many years.
iron products have advanced $50 per cent.
IN one week and pig iron as per cent. fol-
lowing advances OF per cent. In pig and

ton has advanced l per cent. and cotton
goods lis per cent during the week. with
wooden goods g per cent and boots and
shoes 1 per cent. A little reaction or per
cent. appears IN leather and z per cent. In
hides. but the characteristic OF the time
Is that expectation OF higher prices induces
buying far In advance OF requirements for
consumption. IL Is needless TO say that this
Is a symptom or danger, and the most con-
sentative manufacturers. especially In iron
and steel. have striyen 70 avoid Il. but ac-
tual inability 70 deliver products demands
cd leaves them little power, while specua-
ton In wool and other lines Is running away
from consumption. IL Is a saving feature
that quotations arc quite largely fictitious.
Almost all tho goods now being delivered
or produced in some Industries are on
prices fixed by orders accepted several
months ago, and. nearly all the iron works
being thus tied up far ahead, the prices
quoted indicate not at all what they are
getting, but what they see III 10 ask as

Bradstrcet's says:

highest level as regards general staple
values yet reached, q seasonabiy small rate
OF business mortality, undiminished indus

set liquidation on tho late moderate rise.
but this is partially exclaimed by contin-
ued good advices from the spring wheat
crop. confirmed by liberal receipts at pri-
mary points. Iron and steel display all OF
their old and some new strength In tho
urgent demand for the balance OF tho
year. and the usual summer shutdown
seems likely 10 be fonored more In the
breach than IN the observance In this trade.
The outlook IN the trade as regards next

supplies OF old corn and reports OF too
much rain In some sections have helped
this cereal, and are likewise reflected in
hog products. but the prospects favor q
very large acreage In this cereal"

the town to pieces. The big church was
wrecked and many buildings were
ruined. Even the trees and shrubbery
were torn as by hailstorm. Several
hundred women and children came into
the American lines for refuge and the
road from Bacoor was covered all day
long with professions of them on foot
and in carts, driving animals and carry
ing goods on their heads. The appear
nnce of the battlefield testified to the
ferceness of Tuesdays fighting.
