 ance of Alderman Logan. Alderman Frederick who served on the board last year as the councilmanic member, was congratulated on his reappointment. The meeting was devoted largely to the signing of bills, but time was given to a hearing of A. Maxcy Hitler, who ap- peared representing the citizens of the Fourth of July committee.
 The court of common council which went out of office last month appointed common council members of the Fourth of July committee, but those gentle men are no longer members of the court of common council The city made an appropriation for expenses of the Fourth of July celebration and year ago the board of finance decided that before bills would meet their ap- proval they must be approved by the members of the common council on the Fourth of July committee.

 Panama ROute.

Washington. June 5.--In further con- sideration of the isthmian canal project the senate heard to-day two speeches neither of which was completed MT 1 Hanna of Ohio spoke in favor of the | Spooner amendment, conferring on the | president authority to purchase the rights of the Panama Canal company if a valid title could be obtained other wise he shall decide upon the Nicara- qua route. MT. Mitchell supported the Hepburn bill for the construction of the canal by the Nicaragua route. Seldom has a senator been accorde< more att tentive hearing than that given MT.
 Hanna. The Panama route he consid- cred much to be preferred to the
 Nicaragua route as it provided an in
 ter-oceanic waterway much shorter and one that could be traversed at less ex- pense than the Nicaragua route He maintained that the United States was to build the canal to accommodate the commerce of the world and said that fact must be taken into account.
 MT Mitchell urged that unless the Nicaragua route was determined upon definitely by congress it would mean the indefinite postponement and per- haps the ultimate defeat of any canal legislation. He insisted that the Nioa- ragua route was entirely feasible and practical, while the Panama route in- voved difficulties which were scarcely to be surmounted.
 The senate passed the military acad- emy appropriation bill providing for ex- tensive Improvements at West Point

VIOLENCE IN PROVIDENCE.
Trolley Strikers and sy mpathizers Cause
 Reserves to be Called Out

! Providence, June 5.--A reign of vio- lence in connection with the street rail- way strike made the evening the most exciting period in the existence of this community. Crowds of men which blocked the streets hooted and jeered at the officers and passengers of pass ing cars, hurlng missiles of every de- scription through windows, cutting trolley ropes and defacing with knives
 the interior fittings of cars. All the of
 flcers from the suburban stations were
 brought to the center of the city, and
 reserves finally were called out Clubs
 were used freely in half dozen indi-
 vidual riots, mounted men charged the
 crowd and twenty-five arrests were made in the many attempts to preserve order
 The crowds grew to such proportions that in the early evening all cars in the city proper were removed as matter of precaution.
 The initial cause of the disturbance was the parade of about three hundred striking conductors and motormen. The line of march led up Westminster street, the main thoroughfare, where crowd soon gathered Motormen and conductors on the cars which followed were hissed and jeered at until block ade gave opportunity for a demonstra ton, There was instant response. The trolley was pulled off, missiles filled the air and for half an hour the thousands shouted themselves hoarse. The police were unable to gain the mastery until a number of arrests were made, which started the crowd in another direction. A series of similar outbreaks followed, which grew so serious that all the avail able police in the city were called into the business section.
 One official of the Union Traction was attacked and only es- capped with a slight injury after the police had risked their lives in the res- cue.
 Towards midnight the excitement qui- eted and the crowd dispersed, the ab- sence of cars eliminating the chief cause of irritation.

CHICAGO STRIKE SETTLEMENT.
Some Dissatisfaction over Attitude
 Toward the Lenders.

Chicago June 5.-Quiet reigned in the
 stock yards district to-day as result
 of the settlement of meat teamsters strike, but the happiness of the men was marred somewhat by a report that the packers will refuse to re-employ l leaders among the striking teamsters This caused much uneasiness among the men and there were mutterings that if those who have been active in the re- cent disturbances shall be forced into idleness because of their conduct there will be further trouble. That the com- panies would exercise choice in talk
 ing back their former teamsters, seem
 ed not to have occurred to the men be-
 fore and on investigation it found that
 several employed in the yards had re-
 gently been discharged.
 The men say they have been singled out because they were strong union men and strike sympathizers This is denied by the packers, but the state ments of the discharged men are being carefully investigated.
 Had the compromise agreement not been effected, this would have been a red letter day in the strike, as the pack CTS had planned to send wagon train of 135 loads of meat into the heart of the city this morning. Instead of anoth- CT day of rioting and broken heads there was peace and the rple of laugh ter as the two sides of the controversy good naturedly discussed the ending of the trouble. When the members of the conference separated the strike was at an end, but the agreement of the com mittee had to be ratified by the packers and teamsters. This caused some fur ther delay and it was not until this ev- ening that all arrangements had been for the strikers to return to work tomorrow.
 Meanwhile the teams called for were to deliver meat urgently needed The others were told to make the remainder of the day holiday and report for duty o-morrow.
 The men who have been discharged are members of the Stock Yards Elm ployes' union. Their organization, which was formed less than three weeks ago, and already has membership of over 700, is affiliated with the Butchers union. Michael Donnelly president of the North American Meat Cutters union, has been asked to adjust the trouble. Late tonight conference for tomorrow between MT. Donnelly and A. w. Leonard, superintendent of the United States Stock Yards Transit com pany, was arranged. MT. Leonard will be asked to reinstate the men who have been discharged and unless he consents to do so, it is said that the 5000 butch ers employed in the different packing plants will be called out on strike.

 Deputy Bachimont having called M. Milevoye a scoundrel, the latter sent M. Bachimont his seconds, the Count de Dion and M. de Largentaye, who in their official account of the interview said: We informed M. Bachimont of the object of our mission. He replied (here follows filthy expression which is unprintable In English) The Count de Dion retorted by skipping his face"
 M. Bachimont, in answer to the fore going, published this terse reply: Count de Dion says he slapped my face. This is lie"
