Boy MortalIy Wounded rs a Result
of the 81. Louis strike.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June ga riot Of
mall proportions during the progress
of which a boy was fatally shot and a
dynamite explosion occurred, married
what would otherwise have been an
uneventful Sabbath.
AS a car on the Tower Grove line Of
the st. Louis Transit Company was
passing the corner Of Twelfth and Cal
houn streets, crowd OF strike sympa-
thizers began throwing stones at il.
An unknown man leaned from a win
dow OF the car and fired a revolver
shot toward the crowd. The bullet
sped over the heads of the mob and
lodged in the breast of Peter Frank,
aged sixteen, who was sitting in the
doorway OF his fathers house. A de-
tatehment of police dispersed the riot
ers and carried young Frank TO the
city hospital, where it Is said the
wound will prove fatal.
Late in the afternoon an explosion
OF dynamite shattered the cable con-
duft and switches in the Olive street
line at the intersection OF Maryland
and Boyle avenues. No one was intur-
ed, but traffic on that end OF the line
had to be suspended. There is no clue
to the perpetrators.
More than the usual quota of police
was furnished to-day for the protection
OF passengers and crews. and as re-
suit the number Of cars on the va
rious lines Of the Transit Company
was materially increased.

BOMBAY, June 3.-Louis Klopsch, of
New York, publisher OF the Christian
Herald, who arrived here May IA, and
started at once on a tour of the fam
Inc stricken districts, has returned af-
ter travelling through the most sorely
smitten portions of the Bombay pres
idency, including Gujerat and Barolda.
He makes the following statement re-
garding his observations:
Everywhere I met the most shock
ing and revolving scenes. The famine
camps have been swept by cholera and
smallpox. Fugitives, scattering in all
directions and stricken in flight, were
found dying in the fields and roadside
bitches. The numbers at one relief sta
ton were increasing at the rate of
Ten Thousand Per Day
AT Godhera there were 5000 deaths
from cholera within four days, and at
Dohad $500 in the same period. The
hospital death rate at Godhera and Do
had were 80 per cent.
The conditions of the stricken simp-
ly beggars description. Air and water
impregnated with an intolerable stencil
of corpses. At Ahmedabad the death
rate in the poor house was ten per
cent. Every day saw new patients
placed face to face with corpses.
In Every Fourth Cot
there was a corpse.
"The thermometer read lis in the
shade, Millions of flies lowered around
the uncleansed dysentary patients.
II visited the smallpox and cholera
wards at Viragam. All the patients
were lying on the ground, there being
no cots. otherwise their condition
was fair.
II can fully verify the reports that
vultures, dogs and jackals are devour-
ing the dead. Dogs have been seen run
ming about with

The government is doing it's best,
but the native officials are hopelessly
inefficient. Between the famine, the

than 1t has been at any previous per-
Tod in the nineteenth century. Whole
families have been blotted out The
spirit of the people is broken and there
may be something still worse to come
when the monsoon breaks.

THE TENTH CONVENTION
of the Social Labor Party Continued
in New York Yesterday.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The tenth an
nual convention of the Social Labor
party was continued today with a
morning session in the Grand Central
Palace. The principal part OF the

of the reading of the report OF the ma
tional executive committee of the par
ty. 1t dealt with the internal machin-
cry of the party.
B. K. Keinard made an address and
delivered message OF greeting from
the Socialists of Paris. He also pre-
sented TO the convention a Socialist
flag that had been made by the So
cialist women OF Paris. A resolution
was adopted making the nomination OF
a candidate for President and Vice
President the first order of business for

Bity of this course while the minority,
reinforced by Mr.. Mccall, of Massa-
chusetts, member of the majority,
maintained that the constitution of the
United States extended to Porto Rico
and that Congress was inaugurating a
new and dangerous precedent by CIV
ing the island any other law than that
of the rest of the country. Excite
ment ran high under the spur of wide
spread public attention. The debate in
the House was signalized by the divis-
ion of the majority which for time
made the result doubtful, but the bill
ultimately passed. The contest in the
Senate was animated but less acute,
the Senate changing the entire scope
of the measure by adding a complete
form of civil government. In this
form. raising revenue and establishing
an island government, the measure be-
came a law. Subsequently 1t was
amended, so as to limit corporate fran
chises and on the Presidents recon-
mendation an act was passed approp-

The debates on it in the Senate and
House aroused little division save on
matters of detail. The act provides a
system of government much like that
of territories, with a Governor appoint

two houses, franchise rights practical
ly the same as those of voters in the
United States, with the additional quail
ifscation that voter shall be able to
speak, read, and write the English or
Hawaiian language" Administrative
and judicial officers are provided, and
the island is given delegate to the
House of Representatives of the United
States. chosen by the people, with a
right to debate in the House but not a
right to vote.

debate on the Philippines. but was

The extradition bill, applying to all

has passed both houses and doubtless
