Their Own Race.
NEW YORK. May pa cutting affray
between negroes in West SIxty-second
Street yesterday at noon developed into a
riot. a row about poker game started
the trouble, and before IL was over a
crowd Of excited coIored men were wildly
chasing one of their own color and insist
ing that ne should be lynched. The police
reserves saved him. Four prisoners and
one man who is held as a witness are in
the hands Of the police.
The original difficulty took place sew

of the members, had words and came to
blows in a poker game dispute.
Yesterday Rice was playing poker in the

a hand in the game After about an
hours play Rice said he would not play
any longer because Gordon was cheating.
The two men started t. fight. They were
pushed into the street. There Gordon
started to pull i razor and Rec ran away.
He boIted into a hallway of a fiathouse at
"a West Sixty-second Street and ran up
to the roof. Gordon was headed off by
friends Of Rice and ran to an adjoining
house. He entered this hallway and made
his way to the roof, hoping to catch Rice
at the top
While Gordon was looking for Rice, who
had run down through another house. he
was Joined by John Clarke. a friend of
Rice. and a woman The two urged him
to stop the quarrel. He rushed back to the
street, swearing that he would find Rice
and cut him or shoot him TWO or three
hundred negroes had collected in the
street.
Clarke followed Gordon to the street.
The latter pulled his razor and sldshed
Clarke several times on the face and head
and the upper part OF his body There

DlCKER AT PlTTSBURG
STEEL CONFERENCE IS RESUMED
Disagreement or Adjournment of the
Strike Before NightfaII is
Expected.

Pittsburg, July 13. - The Joint confer
ence of representatives of the steel COM
binations and the Amalgamated Associa-
tion OF Iron. Steel and Tin Workers was
resumed at the Hotel Lincoln this morn
ing. Both sides were cheerful and q
strong effort will be made to-day to bring
the conference to- satisfactory close.
While no date has been set for final ad-
journment, several of the conferees are
arranging to leave the city this evening;
and as President Shaffer has declared that
he will not consent to any further post
ponement of the conferences, it Is be-
lieved that a settlement or disagreement
will be reached before nightfall. Presi-
dent Shaffer made the announcement be-
ofre entering the conference this morning
that he regarded future delay as useless
and harmful for both sides. This issue
has to be met, he said, and there Is no
use in lodging 1t. The conferees repre-
senting the manufacturers declared that
they could say nothing of the possibilities
of settlement to-day but that they were
hopeful OF an amicable adjustment OF the
differences.
1t was reported from Youngstown, Ohio.
that James H. Mutt, secretary Of the labor
bureau Of the Republic Iron and Steel COM
pany, had been called into the conference,
but Mr.. Mutt was not present when the
meeting convened. 1t was said that the
fact that he had been called In seemed to
indicate that the two sides were rapidly
approaching point where very little
would bring peace.
The Amalgamated officials were partic-
ularly cheerful as they entered the room
for the afternoon conference and 1t was
said that the prospects for a settlement
seemed much brighter than at any time
since the negotiations began

ANOTHER HOTEL i
FIRE At BUTTE
Guests Rescued by Firemen
From Upper Stories---Property Losses
Will Reach 100000.

Butte. Mont, July 1S.-At 2:4O this
morning still alarm was turned in from
the Butte hotel, four-story structure
on Broadway. When the fremen reached
the scene the building was enveloped in
smoke, which appeared to pour from eY-
cry open window.
The fremen were unable to locate the
blaze for some 80 minutes, and the
greatest confusion prevailed. Several
guests on the lower floors succeeded in
groring their way down stairs in the
smoke and escaping with nothing but
their night clothes. Scores Of others
were rescued from the upper windows,
where the panic-stricken guests shrieked
for succor and threatened to jump to
the sidewalk below.
AT s:16 the fremen- were still rescu-
ing haf-suffocated guests from the upper
stories. but were unable to get inside
the building on account of smoke.

.QUAY'S MAN ASHBRIDGE
PHILADELPHIA's MAYOR MISSING
Those Interested in Placing a City
Loan Are Much Wrought Up
In Consequences.


Philadelphia. July 13.-The peculiarities
of Mayor Ashbridge are again inciting
comment here, and this time it is possible
that the city will suffer directly because
of his course of action.
Several days ago he went away on an
other of his numerous vacations without
making known where he intended to 60
or how long he intended to remain away.
Since his departure his secretary has been
studiously trying to mislead the public as
to the whereabouts of the mayor. Thurs
day the amended bill providing for the
issuance Of bonds to the extent of $9, 9,O00,-
900 at S1k per cent for Improvement and
liberation Of the water supply was passed
by the council. The mayors secretary
started last night for place not known
where he says he expects to meet the
mayor and get his signature to the bill
making it law.
1t Is known that the mayor was in
Canada Friday and bankers and others who
are interested in the placing Of the loan
are in doubt whether they will be able to
bid for the bond issue, as they will, un-
less the mayor condescends to reveal his
place of hiding, be In doubt whether his
signature is attached to the bill within the
limits of the state5 which Is required to
make 1t legal.

censes for months. Others are operating
under transferred licenses. and the IL
cense inspector Is the only man in official
position who knows just who and where
and he won't give up. The miscellaneous
license revenues have fallen off badly
this season. and 1t Is charged that there
is no other reason than that Gardner is
not attending to business, or else will
fully allows such condition to exist.
Hackmen, wagon peddlars and others Of
that ilk when coming to the city hall to
get their licenses renewed complain Bit
terly of discrimination. They declare
that many Of their competitors are run
ming along without any licenses, and they
would like to know why the city does
not treat all alike. Upon the license
inspector devolves the duty Of bringing
everybody in line. II he fails to do it,
the work is not done. and the city loses
revenue and is put in the position Of
playing favorites.
1t is charged by the brewers and sa-
loon men, too, that they are not ap-
praised of the dates Of the expiration
of their licenses a month ahead as has
been the custom hitherto. with the re-
suit that licenses often expire before
they have even put in their applications
for new ones.
The mayor has given an order that the
saloon men be given at least a months
notice Gardner gives them no notice at
all, many OF the saloon men complain,
and they wake up to find that they are
running without a license.
This is the situation in the license in
spector's department, as the aldermen
find it, and they claim that it is ample
