 Youngstown, O., June 6.-The strike of furnace workers was settled last night, the men receiving an increase of 10 Der cent for twelve hours work. The settlement affects the independent furnaces, which the basis of settle ment made by the Republic Iron and Steel Co is slightly different, being 10 per cent increase for all men outside of laborers, who will receive the same wages as now, $1.50 for a nine-hour day instead of ten. The men will re- sume work at once.
 Hazleton, Pa, June 6.-Some of the imported men who left the service of the Lenigh Valley Coal Go at York town last night are reported by the strikers to-day to have disposed of their revolvers for very trivial sums in order to raise money to get back to Philadelphia.
 One of the Delaware, Schuylkill and Susquehanna railroad crews, which has been hauling special officers from one town to another, refused to-day to do this work
 Nearly 100 strikers stationed on the public road leading to the Drifton- col fiery of Coxe Bros & Co, stopped the non-union fremen and pumpmen em- ployed at that mine from going to work to-day. The company officials report that there was no display of violence on the part of the strikers.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 6-The shoot ing affray at the Stanton colliery at South Wilkesbarre last night. in which 13-year-old boy was seriously wound ed by coal and iron policemen, has stirred up this community more than any other happening since the coal strike began nearly four weeks ago. Although the region is quiet today, there is an ugly feeling among the thousands of idle men. The strikers have the utmost contempt for the depu- ties and coal and iron police, and trou- ble can be started at the least provoca- Iipn. The condition of the boy re- mains critical.
 The police were fortunate in getting the four men who are accused of doing the shooting safely away from the col fiery. A crowd of several thousand persons remained in the vicinity for hours after the shooting, not aware that the men had been quietly taken from the place. There was also throng at the police station at midnight waiting for the prisoners, but the men were hustled into the station so uuick- ly that the crowd could not get the men. At o'clock to-day another coal and iron policeman was arrested for coming out of the Stanton colliery and hourishing revolver In threatening manner.
 Providence, R. l.. June 6.-No traces Of last nights disorder in this city and Pawtucket in connection with the street railway strike were apparent when the traction company set it's cars in motion to-day. Fully as many cars were sent out on the various lines as on yester- day. but they were not molested at any point. Further trouble is not expected uurlng the day Some anxiety is felt however. about the trips which are scheduled after business hours. when the streets are filled with workmen. and crowds are likely to collect upon slight excuse.
 The company was prepared to-day to operate more than half of it's full ca pacity, The strikers, however. main- tain that 700 men are out. The trac- ton company answers tbiS oopton+io,, with the statement that they have nearly 800 out of 1900 men at work. the great majority of them old em- ployes.
 In view of last nights trouble and the traction company's appeal to Sheriff White for protection, a large number of deputy sheriffs were sworn in to-day ana they are ready to man all cars, if such action shall become imperative. All available police officers in tbjs citv are on reserve call.
