| MANY RIOTS IN CHICAGO.
Police Have Much Trouble With
Striking Drivers-Those of De-

Chicago, June 4.-Chicagos police
were given a strenuous life yesterday
by the striking packing house team
sters. From daylight yesterday

night the bluecoats were kept busy

The policemen drew clubs and after
hard struggle succeeded in scatter

but before the wagons reached the
downtown district the mob, augment.
ed by hundreds of sympathizers, made
another attack. In the fight that fol-
lowed revolvers were drawn. No
person was shot, the police instead
using their clubs unfortunately,
and dozen or more people were
hurt before the march could be re
sulned When the central portion of
the city was reached clashes between
the police and the crowd became
numerous. Street car traffic was an
impossibility and it was necessary
for several squads of police to charge
the crowds with batons before the
wagon had reached the various
downtown houses.
To add to the burdens of the police

MORE MEN WENT ON STRIKE.
Union Leaders Got Them Out In An
thracite Reeion--Minor Disturb
ances Were Frequent.

Wilkesbarre Pa, June 4.-There
were no developments or incidents of
special mention in the anthracite coal
miners strike yesterday. The mine
workers tried nard to bring out add
tional engineers, firemen and pump
ers and the companies were equally
earnest in their efforts to hold the en-
ployes that have remained loyal to
them. The union succeeded in get
ting out quite number of men. and
last night labor leaders asserted that
they were satisfied with the days
work One or two colieries were
compelled to shut down their pumps
because of lack of men, but in all
other cases the operators were able
TO fill the vacancies by drawing on
their reserve force of Office and other
employees. The mine owners claim
that thus far they have employed
very few nen-union men, and have
plenty of workers to draw on
The entire coal belt remains com.
paratively quiet. although disturb

more frequent. These affairs are in
the nature of demonstrations ranging
in numbers from about dozen per
sons up to about 100.
At Miners Mills yesterday morning
and last evening men and women
gathered Oh the street corners and
hooted the men that came from the
mines to go to their homes. At
Plymouth also last evening there was
small demonstration against
those still working at the engines and
pumps in the collieries there About
100 men, women and children follow
ed the workers to their homes, calling
them 'scabs' all along the way
Many of the workers who go to their
homes are accompanied by coal and
iron policemen. The latter have been
cautioned not to notice the actions
of the crowds unless they attempt to
do the mon bodily harm. In nearly
every colliery temporary living quar-
tiers have been provided for those EN-

places. Colored cooks are being
brought into the region to provide

Thousands Attended Meeting
of Protest, Held In
Chicago.
BOURKE COCHRAN THE ORATOR.
Declared He Believed United States
Agent of Providence to Give the
Irish People Their Rights-AIien
ernmeht, Alien Lands.

Chicago, June 4.--The meeting of
tho Irish-Americans Of Chicago, at
the Auditorium last night, to protest
against the coercion laws In force in
nine counties of Ireland, was perhaps
the largest demonstration of it's kind
ever held in this city.
Bourke Cochran was the principal
speaker and when he began his adj
dress about 5000 persons Joined IN
The applause that greeted him.
Crowds thronged the avenues out
side, disappointed at being unable to
gain admission.
Special importance was attached to
Mr.. Cockran,s pronouncement, as he
has only recently returned from Lon
don, where he conferred with John
Redmond and other leaders of the
Irish movement.
Mr.. Cochran said in part:
Now, in Ireland the government
accuses an Irishman of some act
which it may consider in opposition
to or a criticism of public measures.
He is tried not before any impartial
court, but before removable magis-
trates-magistrates removable by the
government itself, so the aecuser and
the Judge practically are appointed
by the same forces. Similarly every
other elementary law of human kind
has been denied the Irish.
ireland is the only country in
which the people own neither the
land upon which, nor control the gov
eminent under which, they live. The
Irish question arises from the de-
mand of the Irish to control both
their people and their land, while the
English government denies the right
and endeavors to stife the demand
It Is a dual question, alien ownership
of the land and alien ownership of the
government. These are the Irish
grievances.
"The Irish have shown their indus
trial capacity at home and in every
country in which they have gone, and
II this be the case under adverse con
ditions at home and in foreign lands,
how much more then would it be
shown in their own land. owned and
governed by themselves. They GER
tainly would be able to restore in Ire
land the prosperity they have achiey
ed in other countries.
IF the American people in their
might shall rise up and say the Irish
cause is just, Ireland will be restored
AS Americans we cannot but believe
that Providence has intended that the
American people shall be the instru-
ment through which this justice shall
be accomplished.

A comparison between st. Pierre and

Lisbon perhaps would be more to the
point. The catastrophe which occurred
there was due, however, not to an erup-

worth noting that In modern Greek
earthquakes and eruptions are synony-
nous. They are called theomenia. lit

suggested by Psalm civ. 80: HE look

added those that have persisted In

is prodigious. it is less than that which
Lisbon knew.

Some excitement was caused on King
street between nine and ten O'Clock this
morning by a fight which took place
between merchant and man engaged
in putting down granolithic payements.
From the evidence in the Police Court,

subsequently arraigned, it seems that
the contractor heard the merchant had
said something detrimental to his in
terests and had been the cause of him
failing to be employed in putting down
a new pavement. The merchant
denied in unconventional language the
charge and the dispute which followed
eliminated in the latter striking the
contractor. The two men were going
into each other viciously when min

and the contractor picked up bricks and

was about to be mobbed. A boy, who
had espoused the merchants cause, also
