MANY LABOR TROUBLES
BREAK OUT ALL OVER THE LAND
Chicago Machinists Almost Ready to
Strike Again on Account of
Misunderstanding.

Chicago, April 3.--There was almost
a renewal of the strike Of machinists
here yesterday in spite of the supposed
settlement. The men alleged that some
of them had been refused their old
positions in direct violation of the
modified agreement providing that all
old employees should without exception
have back their old jobs. The Fraser
& Chalmers plant ordered that all the
men should be hired, whether or not
there was any work for them to do.
At several other places some Of the
men who had returned to work walked
out again because the fOremen lad re-
fused to take back certain individuals
who, they said, had been active in at
lacks on non-union men and other dis
turbances President O'COnnell eX-
presses the opinion that all of the men
will be back at their old places within
a week At one time the men were
cIamoring for general strike.
All over the country strikes were
inaugurated or demands made that will
lead to strikes probably. In the Pitts
burg coal district about $4,000 miners
went out spontaneously because dis
satisfied with part of the Indianapolis
scale; 5000 men went out in the Irwin
(Pa.) district. At Minneapolis there
was a lockout of carpenters, and at
Indianapolis the carpenters did not go
to work pending the acceptance by the
bosses of the new~and higher scale.
At Cleveland, O., 500 men struck in
the building trades. At Springfield,
Ills, the painters struck, the employ
prs refusing to concede their demands.
Several thousand carpenters and 9TH
crs struck at New York and in that
vicinity for higher wages and shorter
hours. In many other places there
were strikes of more or less conse-

"Bushman's Kop, April 2.-Hearing
that the WaterWOrkS were deserted the
correspondent of the Reuters telegram
agency rode forward tday. Arriving
at the crest of hill volley was fired
at him. and a moment later a man
appeared at the top of the crest. Cali
ing him to stop firing and saying he
was unarmed and desired to talk with
him the correspondent discovered that
this man was an American, who de-
clared that he accompanied the Beers
only asa sight-seer.' He said that never
during his whole life had he witnessed
such magnificent pluck as that shown
10y the British Saturday. and he as
serted that not only himself but the
whole BOer army were profoundly
touched with admira ton at their gal-
liant behavior.
Ut appears that the Beers never
doubted their ability to capture the
whole British free and We're dumb

the mastery way in which the force
was able to escape from the death

eil-TOwnship Results.
Chicago, April A very light vote
was cast at the city election yester-
day. The contests were chiefly alder
manic, although in each Of the various
townships an assessor, collector, super
visor and clerk was chosen. The chief
interest centered in the aldermanic
vote. Thirty-ive Of these officials were
chosen, the Republicans securing nine
and the Democrats sixteen. The old
city council contained 80 Democrats,
35 Republicans and 1 independent
The new couEcil contains 40 Republic
ans and % Democrats, making an adj
ditiOnal member Of council for a new
ward recently annexed. In the cleo
tons for town officers, the Republicans
carried the south town, town of Hyde
Park and town of Lake View. while
the Democrats carried the north and
west town and town of Lake. The
majOrities in these cases were small.
In the townships outside of the city
limits, the Republicans, as usual, made
a clean sweep, electing the entire
ticket.
The Municipal Voters League made
a strong fight against those it called
'gangsters and grafters." The League
Endorsed thirty-nine aldermanic candi-
dates and repudiated twenty-one OF
the thirty-nine Endorsed nineteen were

QUEEN ON IRISH SOIL.
RegardlesseDf the Rain the People Give
Her n Great Welcome.

Dublin, April An spite of the rain
of water under foot the arrival of
Queen Victoria in the royal yacht Vic
toria and Albert off Kingstown was the
occasion for much enthusiasm, al
though this did not take an organized
form, owing to the fact that her ma
jesty came several hours ahead of
schedule time. 1t had been officially
announced that she would reach Kings
town at 80 p. IA. Tuesday, instead of
p. NJ, but at the latter hour the Vic
toria and Albert doomed UP through the
haze and rain and was greeted with
the thunder Of tWenty-one guns from
each ship of the British channel squad
ron.
Thousands hadpoured into Kingstown
regardless Of the pelting rain, which
luckily ceased about 5 o'clock, and
they braved the cold winas and mud
until midnight. The celebrations were
confined to an illumination of the war
vessels and to a few fireworks here
and there. A shining shamrock stood
out against the blackness OF Dublin
bay, and from the jackies clustered on
the decks Of the squadron came strains
of "God Save the Queen" which were
taken up with a will by the patient
crowd on shore and when Soldiers of
the Queen 1oated across the quiet
water the spectators on Kingstown
pier joined in with equal fervor.
Although all political conditions are
represented in Kingstown there was no
attempt at counter demonstration. In
fact the evenings fireworks, singing
and cheering were not marred by any
hostile note
