CHICAGO'S STRIKE.
Non-Union Men, Guarded by
Police, Began Work
Today.

CHICAGO, March 10, 190O.-Renewed dis
order. which at one time threatened to
develop into a riot, attended the attempts
today of the contractors to place nom
union men at work at the new Ogdens-
burg docks, Kingsbury and Oontaro
streets. Seventy-fve non-union men
guarded by five special policemen, march
ed to the docks and went to work amid
the jeering and hooting of crowd OF
about 800 union men, who were, however,
kept at distance by a strong force OF
police.
When the special officers left the scene
they were followed by large crowd, and
at Erie and Wells streets the crowd
closed in on the officers, hurting ice and
snow at them and for a moment serious
trouble was threatened. The officers. drew
their revolvers and fired a few shots in
the air which scattered the crowd. At
one or two other points non-union men
were scattered and pelted with snow balls
but the police prevented actual conflict

NICARAGUA CONVENTION.
rRv cable to The Associated Press.

[By Cable to The Associated Press
LONDON, March 10, 1900-No action has
been taken by the Government regarding
the change which has come over the
Nicaragua convention, as reported
through the lengthy cable dispatches
dealing with the action of the Foreign
Relations Committee The United States
Government, apparently, has made no
Representations to Lord Salisbury since
the convention was signed and the AFFAIR
seems unlikely to be officially discussed
until the final Congressional action puts
it in such shape that it becomes matter
for diplomatic reconsideration Pending
this, official opinion is reserved and 1t IS
quite impossible to say what action Great
Britain is likely to take regarding the
Senates amendments of the Treaty
The "Pall Mall Gazette comments on
the new situation as follows:-
'"The Foreign Relations COMMITTEES has
certainly gone far to wreck the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty, if only for this rea-
son, that powers other than the two most
directly concerned might refuse TO
acouiesce in the British Government ac-
cepted it A fresh start, it may be, will
have to be made after the Presidential
election"

swINDLED IN BREMEN.
Hungarian is Given Confederate
Bills for American Money.

A poorly clad Hungarian stepped up to
the ticket sellers window in the Penn
sylvania station this morning and asked
for a ticket to Allegheny City. At the
same time he laid down bill The ticket
agent glanced at the bill and saw that
it was an old twenty-dollar Confederate
bill Thinking that the man had been
swindled, he called up Policeman William
Boyle, who is on duty at the station. To
the policeman's questions the man said
he had been in this country before and
had gone home to visit some relatives in
Hungary.
While on his way back to this country
he went into an exchange office in
Bremen to have his money changed, and
it was there, he declared, that he was
given the Confederate bill. 1t was all
the money he had and he did not know
how he was going to get to his destina-
ton. The policeman sent him to the New
York Barge Office.

NAMES BUSY YARDS.
Bath Alone Has Contracts
Amounting to $3,Ooo,oOo.
Immense Vessels
Projected.

BANGOR, Me-, March TO- 1900.-In the
first two months of 1900, Maine yards have
launched about 10000 tons of new ship
ping including the five masted schooner
Helen W. Martin, the stel tugs No. 10 and
No IA, at Bath the three masted schooner
Welfeet, Rockland, and the four-masted
schooner Henry S. Weller at Phippsburg.
1t is now considered more than likely
that the rate of s. 900 tons month of new
shipping will be maintained, if not ex-
ceeded, in the remainder of the year at
Maine ports. This gratifying state of af-
fairs has been brought about by the great
revival of business that came last year,
when freights went UP suddenly, while
the volume of business became SO great
that the available tonnage was found to
be less than two-thirds of what was re-
quired.
With coal freights from Newport News,
Norfolk, Baltimore and Philadelphia to
New England ports at $1.50 and 81 ton,
a big ship is looked on as mine OF
wealth for her owners.
"The bigger the better" seems to be the
maxim of many of the owners, and where
as ten years ago the 1859 ton five master
Gov. Ames was looked upon as freak,
not likely ever to succeed nothing is
thought nowadays of ordering five-mas-
ters and even six-masters of 2,250 tons to
@ 27o tons register. The other day a five
master of 2,250 tons was launched. Sew
eral other five-masters are now on the
stocks and work is in progress on TWO
six-masters, one at Camden and one at
Bath, which will register about 2,2lo tons
net each.
Many small schooners We're alse
Launched this year or are on the stocks
Moreover. the age of the square riggeo
vessels the ship bark or barkent1ne
which not long ago was thought to be
forever past, seems to be returning, ano
it is confidently asserted that owing &c
the cost of coal, the tramp steamers that
for twenty-five years and more have beer

wooden ships, must soon abandon certain

BULLER MOVING.
Twelve Thousand British
Threaten the Boer
Positions.
PROBABLY HUNTERS DIVISION
Fighting Commenced Yester-
day at Helpmakaar- Eng
lands War Loan Inn
mediately Sub
scribed.
by Gable to The Associated Press.1


LONDON, March 10, 19O0-The only i'm
portant change in the general situation
in South Africa, indicated by the news
received up to 2:3O P. M. today, is that
General Butler is again on the move. The
news comes in despatch from the Boer
camp at Biggarsberg, dated Thursday,
March g. saying:-
Twelve thousand British are threaten
ing the Boer positions from the direction
of Helpmaaker, while a party of British
scouts was encountered at Waschbank,
March 81
This force was probably General Hun
ters Division and it is considered quite
possible that an attempt may be made to
traverse the Neck of Zululand into the
Transvaal, thus effecting the double pur-
pose of outf1anking the Beers at Biggars-
berg and threatening Vryheid and
Utrecht
The Beers are reported to be at Biggars-
berg in considerable number, but it is said
they are already sending their stores to
the rear General Joubert appears to
have left active service to take charge of
the War Office at Pretoria. Lorenzo
Marques stories attribute his action part
1y to the alleged fact that he has lost both
control over and confidence in the burgh-
ers. and partly to his wish to push the
preparations for the siege, which it is sup
posed are being made at the capital.
Lord Roberts has not reported up to
this hour, today, but the military authori-
ties are of the opinion that General
French must be nearing Bloomfontein.
Some quarters credit General French with
the design to corral both Presidents,
whose exact whereabouts, however are
difficult TO ascertain at this distance.
The War Office is unable to conform the
Service Clubs trend of belief is that the
relief will be effected within a few days.
Possibly, this belief is the outcome of the
recent revelations indicating that if the
relief column is to accomplish anything
it must arrive without delay.
The rush of applicants for the War
Loan commenced at the Bank of Eng
land and the various other banks where
prospectuses were obtainable Immediately
after they We're opened this morning and
a steady stream of people continued
throughout the day. All sorts and condi-
tions of persons were present-silk HATED
financiers, fine ladies, farmers, clerks,
governesses and thrifty representatives
of all classes. They appeared anxious to
stuff their money into Britannia's pockets
and it is estimated that the loan was
oversubscribed within two hours after the
time of the opening of the banks.
