Row On Steamer.

/ At Augustine Park yesterdSy
there were numerous fights over
base ball and Wilmingtonand Chestee
men fought over the claims of suv
periority of the base ball clubs ok

reached the P. & R. pier there was
a general row and beer bottles few
in all directions. #
Women and children screamed
and men cursed while the bottles
flew thick and fast.
The Wilmington men returned
the attack and claims bottles and
stones took an active part in tho
fight. The bottles riddled the wins
dows of the train, men were knock

hasty departure of the boat ended
the fight.

! Promised Aid to Cuba.
/! WASHINGTON, June 23.-The ses.
sions of the senate during the present
week will be devoted to odds and ends
of legislation. 1t was the purpose of
the Republican steering committee to
make the Cuban reciprocity bill the or.
der Of business after the disposition of
the interoceanic canal bill, but the two
Republican conferences have rendered
il evident that there could be no reci-
procity legislation this session, 80 the
steering committee has abandoned it's
purpose.
Senators generally predict that the
congress will disperse between the 1st
and the 4th of July. The session prob
ably will be extended somewhat by the
necessity of concluding consideration
of the Philippine government bill, as
all the appropriation bills could be
finally disposed Of during the present
week. The conference between the two
houses on the interoceanic canal bill
has been arranged, and it Is expected
that an agreement will be reached dur
ing the present week.
1t is possible that the Cuban commit
tee will report the reciprocity bill be-
fore adjournment. but if it should do
so there will be no effort to secure ac-
tiOn on 1t in view of the well known
opposition of Arge part of the senate.
The friends of the policy of reciproc-
ity, however, are quite determined to
bring the matter up the next session
and repeat what they said in Fridays
conference.-the they will not desist
until they accomplish their purpose.
Whether in the end they will do this
through bin or through a treaty they
do not now undertake to say.
1t is generally understood about the
senate reciprocity treaty with Cuba is
well under way, but it is not believed
that there will be any effort to ratify
1t during the present session even If
the document should be sent to the
senate. Senators generally do not
count on an extra session Immediately
in case treaty should be sent in.

TORONTO, Ont, June 23.-The first
attempt made by the Toronto Street
railway to run their cars with men
hired to take the places Of the striking
mOtOrmen and conductors was met
with violence. Only one effort was
made to reopen the traffic, and the tenn
per shown by the strikers and their
sympathizers convinced the officials
that it would be impossible to run cars
without strong protection. 1t was
therefore decided to appeal to the au-
thorities for troops and to suspend op-
