MORE FREIGHT HANDLERS QUIT
Go Out in sympathy with the Erie
Men-Leaders Oppose
the Strike.

BUFFALO, n. Y, June 12.-The freight
handlers (housemen) at the New York
Central, Lehigh Valley, Wabash and Great
Northern docks did not report for duty to-
day, in obedience to the order adopted at
yesterdays meeting to strike in sympathy
with the men already out at the Erie and
L~ackawanna docks. At the Anchor line
docks sixty union men reported for work,
but found ten %non-union men there. They
refused to work with them and the nom
union men were sent away, The union men
then went to work. AT the Lehlgh docks a
few men were at work. The outside men
have been forced into idleness by the strike
Of the housemen and consequently there is
very little work being done at the freight
docks. The present strike is opposed by
labor leaders.
At the Central docks about forty men
were at work. 1t is barely possible that
the scoopers and other 'longshoremen will
be drawn into the strike with the house
men. President Mcmahon OF the shovelers
union, after making inquiries among the
scoopers. says in a published statement:
9TH advice OF the grain shovelers is mod
Grafton. The grain shovelers will strongly
advise the freight handlers to abide by any
reasonable agreement, and. while extremely
friendly to the freight handlers, will dc
everything possible to prevent a genera,
strike"

EUlOGlZES The SOLDIERS
Poultney Bigelow Gives the stan OF
the Army n lively
Roast.

LONDON, June 12.-At the United Service
institution this afternoon, in the presence
OF a distinguished company, Mr.. Poultney
Bigelow read a paper on The Yankee Soil
der" which attained additional importance
from the place where It was delivered.
General Morriss, commanding the Wool
wich district, presided and the company, in
addition to Lieutenant Colwell, the United
States naval attache. and Senator Wolcott
Of Colorado and numerous women, included
many prominent military and naval officers,
in all about 300 persons.
Mr.. Bigelow's address in brief was the
warmest eulogy OF the American regular
troops and of the raw material volunteers,
but was a severe ~condemnation OF the 'po-
litical element which he declared gov
erned an appointments and contracts"
He said that. on his own personal knowl-
edge, as a result OF the lack Of organization
and supplies before the first transport left
Tampa, the American army presented many
features incident TO a disastrous campaign.
There was. Mr.. Bigelow added, "a complete
breakdown Of all the machinery for pTovld-
ing soldiers with food and equipment and
the hotel was crowded with staff officers,
who were as helpless in their new uniforms
as clergymen in a coming tower"
Mr.. Bigelow further asserted that when
he exposed the matter, there being still time
to remedy it, he was met with a storm OF
indignant denials and some of the newspaper
correspondents at Tampa raised the ques-
ton whether he should be strung up to a
sour apple tree or gently disposed of as a
harmless lunatic."
Since then. the speaker continued, the
commander in chic has given public testi-
mony that several, II not all, OF the mill
tary departments we're scandalously inefh-
cient; that embalmed beef was served to
the men and, Mr.. Bigelow added, the COM
mander-in-chief was practically drawing
upon his imagination when he pronounced
ali things ready for the Cuban invasion"
A general discussion followed, General
Morris endorsing Mr.. Bigelow's remarks as
agreeing with his own information. while
other speakers took other views OF the mat
ter. General Morris said: I'VE all feel as
thoroughly patriotic as the American, Mr..
Bigelow. has shown here today, but it is our
duty to bring out the truth. so that wrong
| may be put fight. West Point is the best
military establishment in the world, but il
is necessary for the health of any nation
that lessons be relearned. The most Loyal
man is he who. like Mr.. Bigefow, brings
these lessons home"

TROUBLE OVER BRYAN'S BUST
District of Columbia Democracy by
the Ears over Payment to
the sculptor.

WASHINGTON, June l2.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-There l. trouble among the Dis
trict OF Columbia democracy over W. j.
Bryan's bust. which was presented to Mrs.
Bryan and IS now on its way TO Lincoln.
Sig. Trentanova. the sculptor. 1t is stated,
was given lots TO the amount OF $500 in
Lakeland, Nd, by a local real estate agent
who has political aspirations, to model the
bust. After these lots were given to the
sculptor the real estate man sought to start
a popular subscription to pay for the bust
ostensibly, but to really compensate him
for the transfer of the lots. He importuned
a number Of the district democrats from
Lawrance Gardner down. but no one would
act as sponsor for the proposition for the
reason that ex-senator A. p. German, who
Owns the democracy OF the district body and
soul, is a candidate for president. They
were afraid they might offend the boss. But
the bust has gone to the prairies of Ne
braska as a gift from Bryan's Washington
admirers and there is a jolly row on in
consequence.

suspected Of shielding certain high per-
sonages who are deemed equally responsible
with Esterhazy and Du Patty de Clam,
among them Generals de MERCER and Boys

when Dreyfus was condemned, had dened

STRIKERS STOP The CARS
Efforts to Operate Cleveland Street Railway
Only Partially Succeed,
POLICE ARREST A NUMBER OF RIOTERS
AZ Noon n Few Cars Were Running,
but ut Irregular Intervals
Company Declines All
Arbitration.

CLEVELAND, o., June 1.-THE attempt
OF the Big Consolidated Railroad company
TO move its cars today was attended by
scenes Of wild disorder in various parts Of
the city, though nobody was hurt and very
little damage was done to property. Cars
werc run on two lines at very irregular in
tervals, but without passengers and mainly
under the protection OF policemen.
The principal work OF the mobs, which
were composed largely Of idlers and spec
tators, was to blockade the tracks, in which
they we're materially assisted by accommo-
dating drivers Of trucks. cut trolley ropes
and ieer at the nonunion men. Occasionally
stale eggs and pieces OF mud were thrown.
The strikers discouraged violence, but they
did most effective work in Inducing the non
union men to quit and in that they were
assisted 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 provided with money
and when argument failed she induced the
nonunion men to quit by paying them.
Many Cars Deserted.
Many OF the cars were left on the lines
deserted and were afterward picked UP by
inspectors and taken to the barns. The
company says it has sufficient men to oper-
ate its cars tomorrow. but this is denied.
The important event OF the day was the
refusal OF the company to let the state board
arbitrate the only question involved-the
recognition Of the union. The strikers say
they feel greatly encouraged and that they
will be better prepared than ever to resist
the running OF cars when the attempt is
resumed tomorrow morning.
The following resolution was adopted by
the company's board of directors after a hot
debate:
Resolved. That the differences between
the Cleveland Electric Railway company
and its former employees have substantially
narrowed down to the proposition upon
which the company must stand, that it must
hire and discharge men without d~ictation
of anybody. AS already stated. 1t does not
attempt, nor will 1t attempt to dictate to its
employees whether they shalr belong to a
union or not. II will not require them to
join, nor will it discharge them for joining
or refusing to join, at their pleasure. The
,ompany must reserve to itself the right
to treat directly with its own men, to hire
new ones as the needs of its service re-
quire, and to discharge inefficient men with
out accounting to any one except its direct
ors. Entertaining these views it must re-
spectfully decline to submit these questions
to arbitration.
Tonight ten cars were blockaded on Dun
ham avenue, half way between the center oil
the city and the car barns. After severa
unsuccessful attempts to clear the track this
nonunion men left the cars. Later in the
evening a mob assembled and broke the
windows OF the cars with stones. Tires
patrol wagon loads OF police were sent t.
the scene and the mob was dispersed.
