MOB CHARGED BY CAVALRY
WHO DROVE THE STRIKERS FROM
STREETS NEAR THE DOCKS.
Women with Babes i'm Arms Among
the RiOters-Governmenr in an
Embarrassing Position.

MARSEILLES, March 20.-The situation
here is very disquieting. owing to the in
creasingy aggressive attitude of the strik-
ers. During the disorders to-day the panic
spread to the townspeople, and stores. res
taurants and cafes were hurriedly closed.
The Rue de la Cannebiere and the other
leading thoroughfares of the city were de-
serted. 1t was feared the mob, which was
charged by mounted gendarmes and hus-
sars, would attempt to pillage.
A crowd numbering two thousand burst
through a Gordon of infantry along the
docksiae. The cavalry charged and drove
the strikers back. A volley of stones was
then thrown in all directions, and 2 Driga-
der. two gendarmes. hussar and several
infantrymen were injured One gendarme
was stunned, thrown from his horse and
trampled upon by the cavalry. He was
removed to a hospital, where he lies in a
ly exasperated. but their officers succeeded
in controlling them.
The strikers are irritated at the refusal
Of Premier NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau to re-
ceive the Socialist mayor of Marseilles, NJ
Flasseres, who sought to obtain govern
ment pressure to force the masters to ne
SOtldle, the masters ndNlnS uecllneQ 10 10
so on the ground that the strike was un-
justifable and a breach of a previous
agreement. Nj. Flassieres threatened that
the Socialists wou d make reprisas for this
insult from the government and he pointed
out that he stood aloof from the lro-
Kruger demonstration at a moment when,
as he puts 1t. by entering Mr.. Kruger's car
riage, he might have won popular tri-
umph.
Two hundred women, several with babes
in arms, took part in to-days demonstra-
ton, in spite of the rain. With the excep-
tion of the Socialist organs the press shows
little sympathy with the strikers. The pub
lie generally recognizes that the strike has
already done an immense amount OF in
jury, and may completely ruin the port
The government is in an extremely en-
barrassing position, especially NJ. Mile
rand, the minister of commerce, as the
Socialists demand that the government
should intervene in favor of the strikers
and are disgruntled at the employment of
troops On the other hand, the govern
ment is urged TO take vigorous measures
to secure the freedom of labor, especially
in view of the fact that the foreign ee-
ment, chiefly Italians, which preponderates
among the striking dock laborers is utter
ly Indifferent TO the fate of Marseilles
The strike committee has informed the
prefect that the strikers will resume work
If the cooperative system. without con-
tractors, is adopted. As the shipping COM
panies are bound by existing contracts
there is little chance of this proposal being
accepted Mayor F'lassieres exhorts the
population to be calm.
There were further collisions between the
strikers and the gendarmes and hussars
at nightfall near Fort ST. James. Several
arrests were made

LONDON, MARCH 20.-At st. James
Palace this afternoon King Edward, wear

between forty and fifty deputations from
various parts of the kingdom, bearing ad
dresses of coincidence and congratulation.
His Majesty made an acknowledgment TO
the general body. but separate replies to
the Freemasons and to the deputation
from Trinity College, Dublin. The Duke of
Connaught presented the Freemasons'
address. The King, in reply, expressed
his great regret at relinquishing the grand
mastership, and promised, as protector, TO
continue watching over their interests and
to rejoice over their prosperity and growth.
He also announced his great satisfaction
that lone near me in blood and united with
me in sympathy and fraternity has been
chosen as his successor in the grand mas
tership, referring to the Duke of Con-
naaght. To the Trinity College Dublin),
deputation King Edward said:
II echo the words used by her late
Majesty on her last visit to Ireland, ana
have full faith that, in the times of strenu-
Gus endeavor which are before us, the sons
of your ancient institution will each, in his
place, play his due part in the maintenance
and government of the empire, in the de-
velopment of which your countrymen have
figured so conspicuously, and that they will
add to the long roll of names of Irishmen
who have rendered distinguished services
in the various branches OF human activity"
King Edward is becoming more and more
exacting concerning the formalities on these
occasions. A few hours before the reception
of recent deputation his Majesty asked
the lord chamberlain what dress they
would wear.
"Frock coats. your Majesty" replied the
lord chamberlain.
For the last time, then' said King Ed

dress must be worn. This is not a re-

The Daily Mail says: 1T is reported in
high circles that King Edward contem-
plates a big exhibition in London on the
lines of the Paris exposition, the idea being
to inclose the Thames from Westminster
bridge to Albert bridge, including the
whole of Battehsea Park.
King Edward has approved the appoint
ment of Gen. Sir Arthur Power Palmer as
commander-in-chief of the forces in India.
General Palmer has been provisional COM
mander-in-chief for a year. This disposes
of the rumors pointing to Lord Kitchener
or the Duke of Connaught for the post.

perfect plans for the consolidation The
object of the enterprise is to reduce the

operators against the miners organization.
which has gained such strength as to be
able TO assume a dictatorial position in the
matter of wages. The projectors of the
plan will endeavor TO absorb every mine in
the State. either by purchase or consolida-
tion.
The project contempates the formation
of a single company with a capital of SIS
ec0.O0O controlling more than 900 mines
throughout the State. The total product of
these mines last year was i'm round num-
bers 30.000000 tons and they gave employ
ment 10 $1,000. not including office help
The project. il is said. was quietly dis
cussed at the recent meeting of the Illinois
Coal Operators Association and approved
by leading mine owners of the State.
Agents were sent To Pittsburg to study the
workings of the combination which con-
trolls % per cent. of the mines i'm that dis
trict. These agents report that the plan
works successfully. IL gives the Pittsburg
operators special advantages I'm handling
large contracts-advantages not possessed
by individual operators. One contract alone
called for 10000 tons. but with the orders
distributed among the mines controlled by
the combination they were filled without
delay. With the mines OF Illinois In
similar combination the operators think
they would be in a position to fill similar
contracts.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, March 20.-There
arrived at the prison this afternoon, over
the Lake Erie & Western, in charge OF
Sheriff Luther and Deputy Sheriff McDou-
gal. George Nj. Ray the editor of the Shell
byville Democrat. Ray, after a bitter fight
in the court, given indeterminate
sentence-two to fourteen years-for pre-
senting false claims to the commissioners
of Shelby county. The sheriff and his
deputy were accompanied by Detectives
Dugan and Gerber, of Indianapolis, who
were assigned by Governor Durbin to ac-
company Ray and to see that the sheriff
carried out the instructions of the court by
turning Ray over to the prison officials.
George H. Dunn. father-in-law of Ray, was
with the party which left Indianapolis at
o'clock this morning.
The Lake Erie train was late, not arriv-
ing at Michigan City until about o'clock.
Several people that knew of Rays coming
were at the station, including local newspa-
per men, who boarded the street car while
the party was en- route to the prison. Ray
talked freely of his case and seemed in fair
ly good spirits. On arriving at the prison
he was first presented at the clerks Office.
given his prison number, 1854, and was re-
lieved of his jewelry and money. He deliv-
cred to the clerk $780, leaving him five cop
pers. Turning to his father-in-law, he said,
Take these to the children"
The sheriff was then directed to turn his
prisoner over to the proper officer. Ray
was taken to the bathroom, was made to
bathe and was given second grade suit of
clothing and taken to the receiving cell,
where he will remain until tomorrow
morning. He will then be examined by the
doctor, who will take his Bertillon meas
urements and his photograph. He will then
be conducted to the deputy warden, who
will instruct him in the rules of the prison
and assign him to work one of the con-
tracts.
Ray did not weaken, and when near the
prison remarked with a laugh that he had
never been inside. He also said many Bit
ter things of the courts that tried him and
said his conviction was due to politics. Ray
is the only editor in the State Prison.

INDEMNITY CLAIMS.


WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Another COM
munication was received to-day from
Special Commissioner Rockhill touching
the complications that have resulted at
Peking from the efforts of the various pow
ers TO reach uniform basis for their In
demnty claims, but there is nothing to in
dicate that an agreement is any nearer
than IL was when this subject was first
taken up by the ministers. Although the
State Department is more than ever con-
vinced that it's suggestion looking to the
reference of the entire subject of the in
IDENTITIES to The Hague commission is the
true solution of the difficulty, that PROPOSE
tion having been definitely rejected early
in the negotiations is not now before the
ministers. No precise instructions have
been sent to Mr.. Rockhill within the last
few days on this point, owing principally to
the absence of the President from Wash
ington. 1t is presumed that, now that the
Presidents attention is again directed 10
the subject, there will be more complete
definition of policy.
1t is stated that the sum total of the In
IDENTITIES claimed by all nations cannot be
calculated at this moment because or the
lack of agreement among the powers on the
very basis of settlement. But assuming
that the other powers are willing TO accept
the scheme of adjustment proposed by the
United States, allowing a certain amount
for each missionary killed or injured and
another allowance for property destroyed,
the sum total of the claim would be con-
siderably less than s2500o0,000. 1t is not
doubted that under economical administra-
ton, with order completely restored and
with free access to the interior of China,
the Chinese revenues would be able to meet
this charge against them within reason
able time. But it appears almost hopeless
now to expect the other powers to accept
the same basis of compensation that would
satisfy the United States government. Not
only is there vast difference in the scale
of these demands based on military ex-
penses. but there is also a very radical

ST. PETERSBURG. March 20-The Rus
sian press is not alarmed about the Tien-
Tsin affair. There is no mention of 1t in the
official agency's dispatches but the Lon
don correspondent of the Novo Vremyae
characterizes the dispute as unimportant.
Another London correspondent quotes
French diplomat as saying that an Anglo
Russian war is impossible, and Russia need
only threaten to support the Beers to bring
Great Britain 10 her knees.
The Novosti advocates a Russo-Japanese
alliance. which will assure Japan her pres
ent possessions and large market for her
Industrial products in Russian territory,
where they will be protected against Anglo
German competition. In conclusion, the ar
ticle declares this alliance is as important
In the Orient as the Franco Russian alIi-
ance is in the Occident. The Novosti ap-
parently. regards the Russo-American un-
derstanding as permanent, as the paper
does not mention American competition in
Russian territory. which is stronger than
the Anglo-German competition.
