Another Man Wounded In st. Louis
Strike dynamite Exploded
Under u Car.

st. Louis, May 26.-Sympathizers Of
the striking street car men were again
the medium of riotous demonstra-
tion Friday, and as result another
name was added to the long list Of
wounded. In the afternoon, as car
on the Jefferson avenue line, running
south, approached Sullivan avenue, it
was attacked by crowd of men and
boys. Several shots were fired at the
car. The policemen on board the car
returned the fire, and in an about 100
shots were exchanged. Peter Wells, a
patrolman, who was riding on the
front platform, was hit in the left
armpit, the bullet producing an ugly
wound.
Twenty-Five lines of the St. Louis
Transit company are in operation, but
not enough cars are being run to ac-
commodate the thousands who still
have to depend on buses, wagons and
wheels or walk to work.
At six a. m. an attempt was made by
somebody unknown to blow up car
on the Spaulding avenue line of the ST..
Louis Transit company. The wheels
of the first car out struck something
that exploded with loud noise and
lifted the car two or three feet into
the air. While the explosion startled
residents for blocks around the vicini-
ty, no damage was done and nobody
was injured.
The injunction proceedings insti-
tuted by the federal authorities week
ago against W.-D. Mahon, president of
the international Association of Anal
gamated Street Railway Employees, and
others, were continued in the United
States circuit court Friday to June 8.

Manila, May 2s.-scouting, small en-

and prisoners continue daily in north
ern Luzon. Last weeks operations by
the Ninth, Twelfth, Thirty-third, Thir-

Washington, May, o. The war de-

cablegram from Gen. Macarthur, at
Manila, dated Monday:
'Three officers, sc men, with 46 rifles, sur
rendered Internationally at Guyapo yes
terday. Three officers, 46 men with SIS rifles
surrendered Internationally to-day at
very encouraging
Gen. Corbin said that Gen. MacAr-
thurs dispatch shows that the situa-
ton in the Philippines. is improving.
The present policy of the army, he
said, is to disarm and not to kill the
Filipino insurgents, and that object
is being facilitated by the action of
the Filipino captains in getting their
men together and surrendering in q
body. In such cases the men get re-
ceipts for their arms and ammuni-
ton. There is no longer any organ
lied resistance, he says, and the only
trouble comes from bands of guer-
rillas who swoop down on the unpro-
tected natives, steal all they can lay
their hands on and run off with their
booty before the troops can reach
them. The marauders receive no
mercy from the troops, and are shot
down whenever caught looting their
terrorized countrymen.

Anoka, Mimi, May 20. - Sunday
night shortly after eight-o'clock as
William Wise, farmer, ten miles
north of here, was sitting at table
playing cards with his wife and four
children, some one fired through the
window with shotgun and Win
chester rifle. William Wise, Jr., seven
years DID, fell dead, a bullet striking

his cheek. James Wise, II years old,
was shot through the right lung and

was shot in. the back, the bullet
emerging from her abdomen. She
was also hit in both arms and will
die. Eliza and Martha, the daughters,
escaped by jumping into closet. It
is not yet known who did the shoot
ing, but the suspicion of the authori-
ties falls on two persons now under
surveillance.
In all ten or eleven shots were fired.
The Wise family had recently moved
here from Wisconsin, where they are
said to have been involved ina feud.
They had also had some litigation
since coming to Minnesota.

The ST. LOUIS STRIKE.
End of the Street Railway Trouble
Seems ms Far Away as Ever
A Sunday Riot

st. Louis, May 2S.-This is the twen-
ty-first day of the street railway strike,
and the end seems as far away as ever,
both the Transit company and it's en-
ployes standing firm in their respective
positions. Not a car ON the Transit
company's system has been run since
the strike began without police protec-
ton. In consequence of there not be-
ing enough police to guard the 500 or
more cars usually operated, less than a
quarter of that number has been run
by the company over only part of it's
" divisions and lines. Since the sth
OF May, when the strike began, there
nave been numerous collisions between
the police and the strikers and the lat
ter's sympathizers. Hardly day dur
ing that time has passed without some
body being wounded by bullets or in
Jured by flying missiles and police
clubs. The list of casualties presents
four persons shot and killed, 90 wound
ed by bullets and SO or more injured
in other ways. Two of the killed were
innocent bystanders, a striking motor
man and an emergency policeman COM
pletlng the number. Several of the
wounded are in critical condition and
may die.
1t is estimated by the strikers that
less than SO of their number-3,3o5-
who struck have returned to work,
These, with the street car men import
cd from other cities, are opera ting the
transit company's cars. 1t is asserted
that at least so of the imported men
have Joined the strikers. All the points
at issue between the company and it's
striking employees have been agreed to
except that of reinstating all the men
VINO went out in their old positions.
lhe company refuses to displace the
men they have hired since the strike
began, while the strikers decline to
sign any agreement that does not give
all the old men theirplaces again. Sew
eral attempts have been made TO bring
the employers and employees together,
but without success. and thus the mat
ter stands.
AS the result of an encounter Sunday
night between striking and. nonstrik-
ing employees of the Transit system
three men were shot, one being fatally
and the others seriously wounded.
Ms Philip Sullivan, James Sulli-
van and Patrick O'Connell, strik
ers, were passing through Lafayette
park they were approached from the
rear and fired upon by three men said
TO be in the company's employ. One
of the bullets passed through Philip
Sulilvan's right lung, giving him NOR
tai wound. James Sullivan received a
ball in he left check and O'ConneIl was
shot through the right leg. Accounts
OF the affair differ, some bystanders
claiming that it was IL deliberate at
tempt at assassination on the part of
the company's new employees, while
others aver that it was nothing
more or less than pitched battle be-
tween he two factions. A riot call was
at once sounded, but the three un-
known men had made good their es-
cape by the time of the police arrival
on the scene.
