CARS CEASED
RUNNING ON
THE SABBATH.
The Purpose was to Give the Police
Force a Chance to RsCuperate
for the Coming Struggle.
NEW MEN TO Be EMPLOYED.
1njunctions of Federal Court had sa-
lutary Effect Upon the Kansas
City Street Car Strikers.

ST. LOUIS, May 1S.-This, the sixth
day of the street railway strike, was
quiet and devoid of interest. Not a
wheel on any of the lines, except of the
mail cars, was turned in the city to-day
in consequence of the decision of the
Chief of Police Campbell to give the
men of the force, who had but little time
for rest during the past hve days, a
chance to recuperate for the coming
week. The management Of the two
street railway companies, who feared
to run cars without police protection,
decided to make no attempt to keep
their lines open to-day. AS a result the
turbulent scenes that last week marked
the reopening Of the different lines were
not expected and the day passed of
without any serious trouble. The only
police on duty were stationed at the
power house and car sheds.
New Men to Fill the Places.
Both the Suburban and st. Louis
transit companies will operate as many
of their lines tomorrow as the police
department will afford protection for.
This was the last day. according to
General Manager Baumhof. that the
places vacated by men on the st. Louis
translc company would be held open
for them. After to-day II they do not
express desire to return to work new
men will be put in their places.
Mr.. Baumhoff says that all the old
men who return to work will be allowed
the Increased pay to which they will be
entitled by reason Of their long service
with the company.
Most Of the transportation business
was done by wagons going to the base
ball park. Grand avenue, between l
and 1880 p. m. was almost impossible
for vehicles going south. Around the
base ball park the wagons were as thick
as flles around sugar barrel. The at
tendance at the ball game was about
12.OOO but many of those present walk
ed to the park.
May be General Sympathy strtkA
The secret mass meeting held at Wal &,
hal!a hall tonight by the presidents
secretaries and business agents of every
trade and labor organization of st.
Louis, after a session lasting several
hours, adopted u resolution calling a
general meeting for Wednesday night.
to consider the adVisabIlity Of ordering
general sympathy strike in case the
differences between the street railway
company and its employees are not ad-
tusted before that time. The resolution
also asks that the members of the
trades md labor unions Of st. Louis
contribute to the maintenance of the
striking street car men, and provides
for the institution of proceedings
against the ST. Louis Transit Company
to annul the franchise under which its
different lines operate, because OF al
legged failure to run cars as provided by
It's charters.

Boys Set Fire to a Large Pile Of
Tarred Lumber-Loss, 100000.
CAMDEN, N. j.. May 1a.-Fire to-day
which broke out in the Farmers mar
ket house at Fifth and Federal streets,
completely destroyed that building ten

causing loss. estimated at 100000, and
rendering homeless about $50 persons.
These homeless people are tonight
quartered in the armory building and
are being fed at the expense of the city.
Boys either accidentally or purpose
ly set fire to a large pile OF tarred lum-
Der which had been stored in the mar
ket house by the Bell Telephone Com
pany. They were playing there shortly
before the fire began.
Spread Through Grease-soRked House
The flames spread rapidly through
the greuse-soaked market house and
communicated to a row Of small houses
In the rear, at the same time eating
their way into Federal street and en-
terlng the old postofiice building ad-
Joining and partly destroying It. This
building had been abandoned by the
government only few weeks ago.
The chief OF the Camden hre depart
ment early realized that the fire was
beyond the control Of his limited force
and the FIRE department Of Philadelphia
was called upon for assistance and sent
four companies.
The flames leaped across Fifth street
and second row OF small houses there
were soon blazing and were destroyed.
The fire then followed its course to-
ward Federal street, on the east Of
Fifth street. When the chemical labor
atory OF William Cowgirl caught there
was a series Of explosions. The Cow
gill establishment was gutted.
Some Of the Principal Losses.
The principal losses were: Farmers
market, $4,000; Cowgirl chemical labor
atory, 10000; NJ. L. Mowna. florist,
$4,000 ]. q. Blank, clothing, $1,000;
Harry GroBscup, dwelling. $4,000; w. 2.
Gitson. grocery, 5000, and w. n. Deck
er, umbrellas. $1,000.
Most OF the others to suffer were
small property owners Many OF the
occupants Of the dwellings lost their
household effects. The losses are partly
covered by insurance.

REPLIES TO SALISBURY.

Redmond Says the Moment the Feel
Ings Of the Two Nations We're to be
Cemented, the Premier Steps Be-
tween Them.
MANCHESTER. May lS.-John E.
Redmond. seasonal chairman Of the
United irish Nationalist party, and
John Dillon, former chairman of the
then dominant wing Of Irish parlia
mentarlans, appeared here to-day, on the
same platform at the Irish demonstra-
ton in Free Trade hall. Mr.. Redmond
said the meeting celebrated the close Of
a disastrous chapter in Irish history.
For the first time in decade he had
the pleasure. he remarked, Of standing
upon the samn Platform with Mr.. Dill
Ion, whose p'Isence proved the genu-
ineness Of 'he reunion.
Much remnins TO be DONE" said the
speaker, but the Irish parliamentary
party is determined to let the dead past
bury It's dead. At the very moment, Rf-
ter the chiYalrouB reception TO the
queen in Ireland, when an opportunity
presented itself to cement, the feeling
between the two countries, Lord Sails
bury has mIsrepresentad Irish claims
with cynical and brutal franknesS, Of
fering an absolute non possumus to the
reasonable demands Of Ireland.
Not Permit ireland to Bear Arms.
."Hfs lordshlp spoke OF doiags ahead
for the empire. II the forces he mem
toned were to dash on British shores,
there is one spot where they would not
be received as enemies or invaders. He
advocated the formation Of ride clubs.
but he Will not permit ireland to enlist
volunteers or to bear arms. His propo-
sal, therefore, Is an insult TO Ireland,
md so far as the rest OF the empire is
concerned, It Is puerile md absurd.
'IFlshmen can now see more clearly
than ever tho work they have to under
take. This task is again TO mike II In
convenient and dangerous to withhold
Irish reports. It is not by conciliRtlon
and appeals TO loyalty that the griev-
Rnces Of ireland VIII be remedied."
To Meet on Common Ground.
Mr.. Dillon. who followed, referred to
the pleasure he felt in meeting Mr..
Redmond on common ground, and said
that the real Significance Of the reunion
would not be understood until after
the general elections.
The meeting adopted with enthusiasm
resolutions conRratulatlng the party on
reunion, plsdging loyal support TO the
policy InaugurRted by Phrnell and call
ing upon the Irish people to support
the United Irish League.
