KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Aug. 2.-The strike
Of the Knoxville Traction Companys en-
ployees. started yesterday morning. con-
tinues with no prospect for early settle
ment. The refusal OF the company to

were stopped. After the mob had forcibly
elected conductor and motorman from
Gay street car, 1t started to attack Supt.

there may be bloodshed. The company's q
ultimatum expired tonight. but citizens
are making an effort to secure compromise,
as business N paralyzed. Hack lines are
running over nearly every car line.

TO KEEP THE GAS IN CANADA
American supply From the Ontario Fields
10 Bc cut on.

WINDSOR, Ontario, Aug. 2.-The United
Gas and Oil Company Of Ontario. with
general offices in this city, to-day announced
that it had decided TO stop the expectation
OF natural gas from the Essex county gas
fields into Michigan within month. While
the officials OF the company decline to give
their reasons for this sudden change OF
front or TO discuss the matter In any way.
there is good ground for belief that the
Dominion Government has sent curt
intimation TO the company 70 the effect
that it's charter will be revoked unless 1t
cancels all its American contracts i'm
mediately.
The gas wells in Essex county are dis
playing sure signs Of exhaustion and Cana
dian consumers are fearful lest they be
left without any gas at all. Accordingly,
the Government has been asked 70 put a
stop to the expectation. II Is estimated
that between two or three million feet Of
natural gas a year has been piped into
Michigan and Ohio. and at this rate Of
export the wells must soon be depleted
entirely.

BAD time FOR BRUTAL DRIVER.
BROADWAY CROWD TO TIE
RESCUE or JADED NAG.

Bauer Punched by IN Old Man and Re.

Coul<in't Hit Him Unhitched Hh Hsrvs
He's Arrested and Hesd for Trial.
The driver Of truck loaded with coping
stones drawn by a starved-looking bay
horse with number of sores on it, body
was handled roughly yesterday afternoon
by a Broadway crowd whom he incensed
by his brutality to the horse. He was In
the custody Of policeman. too. when he
was cuffed and cracked over the head BY
umbrellas welded by women.
The driver was Nttman Bauer Of n Pitt
street. He got his truckload Of stone
down on the lower East Side and was taking
them to the foot Of West Twenty-ninth
street. The load was too much for the
horse at the start, and when the animal
got to Twenty-eighth street and Broad
way 1t was exhausted. When Bauer tried
to urge tho brute forward with the whip
the horse dropped in the roadway.
The driver jerked with all his strength
on the reins and managed to drag the
horse up on his knees, but could not get
him to his feet. Then Bauer began to
beat the horse.
This was moro than the crowd could
stand. Women cried, Shame and men
made threats against the driver. He
piled his whip with greater vigor, how
ever, and used more force on the lines
and finally got the horse to his feet and
started to drive away, but the crowd was
aroused by this time and followed on both
sides Of the street
Nearing the Glsey House at Twenty
ninth street Bauer began TO lay on the whip
again. The crowd got around the truck
and Policeman DAILY Of the Broadway squad
ordered Bauer to stop and get down from
his seat.
Arrest him Officer said well-dressed
man.. land I'll make a complaint against
him.

said Bauer defiantly.

That frightened Bauer. He got down

TO unhitch the horse from the truck.
.Unhitch him yourself said Bauer.

OF the crowd, While they were detaohing
the horse from the truck an elderly man,
who seemed to be very much agitated

The shat was a good crack on the left

eral chorus girls, who had been rehearsing
at Weber q Fields, took a whack at Bauer
then with umbrellas It was getting 80
hot for the driver that DAILY hustled him
through the crowd to the Tenderloin sta
ton, with a citizen leading the tired horse
In their wake.
Ira Hards, an actor, living at the Audit
bon, was the man who ordered DAILY to
arrest Bauer. He went to the station
house as the complainant and later to
jefferson Market, court where Magistrate
Mayo held Bauer In $500 bail for trial for
his brutality.
The Tenderloin police took charge Of
the horse until the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals relieved
them Of it's care. The society officer who
took the horse away said Il was about
the most wretched looking horse he had
seen in a good while.

ELECTION Law FOR CUBA.
Constitutional Convention Approving tho
Project submitted.

SpeffdI Cdos DNpdfH 70 NE SUN.
HAVANA, Aug 2.-The Constitutional
Convention met to-day and approved the
first four articles Of the proposed electoral
law, with the exception Of the last clause
OF the fourth article. Some notifications
were made, the principal one being that
In order to become a provincial governor
or legislator 1t will not be necessary for a
man to be the head OF a family or tax
payer. He will not be required to be
resident OF the province for a year before
the election, TO possess a degree or TO have
held an elective Office. The conditions for
Senatorial and Presidential electors are
left unchanged.
Sehor Sangiilly objected that the con-
dltions required to be fulfilled by Sena-
torial electors we're more exacting than those
imposed on Presidential electors. He also
argued that the Senatorial electors should
be left free to vote for whom they chose
instead OF being bound to vote for par
ticular candidate.
Regarding the last clause Of Article ",
which provides that the convention shall
settle difficulties which arise In the cleo
tions, II was argued by some that this was
an usurpation Of the functions Of the in
tervening Government. No vote was taken
In the matter.
There was some talk OF changing the
capital Of the island to Santa Clara after
the Government Is established in order to
get away from the politically unhealthy
atmosphere Of Havana.
No change was made in the conditions
that win have to be fulfilled by candidates
for governors. councillors and representa-
tives. All must either be Cuban born or
naturalized. and in the latter case must
have lived eight years in the country after
naturalization.
