MOB FIGHTS POLICE.
Riotous Scenes at the street Car
strike in Cleveland-Severnl
Persons BADLY Hurt.

Cleveland, o., June 19.-At 1890
o'clock Saturday the most disastrous
riot of the local railway strike took
place at Pearl street and Clarke avenue.
Two cars loaded with nonunion men,
patrolmen and deputies were attacked
by mob of 5000. As a result of a
charge made by the police under Capt.
Hutchinson and Lieut.. Felhaber many
persons were severely and some posi-
bly, fatally injured. The first ear TO
reach the scene of the trouble was met
by the mob and a shower of bricks and
eggs About so feet behind the first car
was second car loaded with nom
union men, deputies and police. This
car also was compelled to come to a
stop. Before the police could step from
the cars a fusillade of stones and bricks
crashed through the windows, striking
several of the nonunion men.
Within five minutes after the cars had
arrived nearly every patrolnan and
nonunion man had been the mark for
one or more eggs, and every window
in both cars was quickly smashed.
Several vicious attacks were made by
the mob, and in order to protect the
lives of the nonunion men the police
were compelled to charge. Capt.
Hutchinson gave the word, and the POI
lice dashed through the crowd swing
ing their clubs. Dozens of people were
injured by being struck by stones and
clubs. The mob could not withstand
the terrific onslaught of the police, and
all sought safety in fight. A scene of
wild confusion followed The fight
between the police and the mob con-
tinued for nearly Is minutes, but the
former finally gained the victory. The
mob was partially dispersed, and the
cars were run back to the Lakeview
barns. AS the cars passed through the
public square they attracted consider
able attention, it being easy to de-
termine from their appearance that
there had been another serious riot.
No further attempt was made to oper-
ate cars on the Holmden avenue and
South side line.
The usual lesser riots took place in va
rious sectionsof the city during the day,
and many arrests were made. All nego-
tiations for a compromise settlement
of the street ear strike have been
| dropped A conference between the
company officials and strikers had
been arranged for Saturday morning,
but it was abandoned at the last mo-
ment because the former refused to rec
ognized delegated union leaders as 9TH
erwise than individual employees.

ROUSSEAU DECLINES.
Undertakes to Form n New French
Cabinet But Finally Relin-
pushes the Task.

Paris, June 20.-It is announced that
Senator Waldeck- Rousseau has de-
clined the task of forming new cab
met. The failure of M. Waldeck-Ros-
seau is due, it is said, to the refusal of
Camille Krantz to accept the portfolio
of public works, which he considers in
ferior to the portfolio of war, held by
him in the retiring cabinet But for
this the WaldeckRousseau slate was
complete.
The failure of NJ Waldeck- Rousseau
makes the situation exceedingly diff
cult. Both NJ Casimir-Perier and Gen.
Brugere declined to enter the cabinet.
1t is quite uncertain whom M. Loubet
will now summon. Possibly he may
call upon NJ. Sarrien or Paul Deschanel,
president of the chamber of deputies.

TRADE REVIEW.
The business Situation as Seen by
Americas Leading CONNER

of the frequent paradoxes OF business that
the one thing which now makes prices rise

They rise in iron and wheat because
scarcity is feared. but the scarcity, II pro-
longed and real. would much impair pros
perity. In wheat II does not seem 10 be real
nor IN iron lasting, and meanwhile other
elements of prosperity continue potent.
IL Is a great thing that exports or goid nave

nized as mere borrowings by foreign bank

and the bankers estimate that 60,00O00O
worth of securities have been returned
from Europe, with so few in recent months
that the amount remaining to be dislodged

THE scarcity of iron is real, in spite of
the greatest production ever known in this
or any other country 256,062 tons weekly
June l, against 250,095 May /, for stocks
were reduced 1902 tons in May, indicat-
ing consumption of l1e0,S6 tons, against
100000 tons per month last year, the great

not seem to diminish and appears greater

With more furnaces going into blast, ten
