Toronto Company Abanoons Attempt
to Run Street Cars.
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 strik-
ing motormen and conductors was met
with violence. Only one effort was
made to reopen the traffic and the
temper shown by the strikers and
their sympathizers convinced the Off
cials that it would be impossible to
run cars without strong protection.
1t was decided to appeal to the au-
thorities for troops and to suspend
operations until these arrived. Stones,
sticks, eggs and stale vegetables were
the weapons used by the strike SYM
pathizers to prevent the railway com
pany from giving a service. Several
of the imported men were roughly
handled by the mob, and Motorman
Johnson, an old employe of the com
pany, came near losing his life. Very
few arrests were made.

ably Adjourn July 8.
Washington, June 23.-The opinion
of the house leaders is that this COM
ing week will be the last full week of
the present session of congress. AL
though no resolution for a sine die ad-
journment has yet been introduced,
the leaders generally fix the final ad-
journment for July 8. The Philippine
civil government bill will hold the
boards in the house, except for such
time as is occupied in disposing of
conference reports, until Thursday,
and possibly Friday.
Members generally are using 1t as
vehicle for political speeches to be
circulated in the coming campaign
and its passage by solid Republican
vote is assured. The remainder OF
the week will be taken up with con
ference reports ON appropriation bills
and other measures in dispute between
the two houses. AS soon as the reso
luton providing for the final adjourn
ment is adopted motions to suspend
the rules will be In order at any time
and this will greatly facilitate bust
ness during the closing days Of the

Duluth, June 23.-A negro porter
named Charles Henderson killed a
colored woman named Ida Mccormick
and threatened the lives of several
white women in fiat on West First

apartments and made certain accusa-
tions. In the quarrel that followed
Henderson stabbed the woman with
huge pocket knife. She ran into an
other apartment in the building, the
negro stabbing her as she ran. Here
Henderson stabbed her again and
again and she died in few moments.

EXTRA SESSION TALK
SENATE MAY BE CALLED TO.
cETHER TO CONSIDER Gu.
BAN TREATY.
is NOW BEING PREPARED

Understood That Reciprocity Agree
nent With the New Republic Is
Well Under Way, but There Will Be
No Attempt to Ratify 1t Until After
the November EIections-Submlt
Question to the Country First.
Washington, June 23.-The sessions
of the senate duging the present week
will be devoted to odds and ends of
legislation. It was the purpose of the
Republican steering committee to
make the Cuban reciprocity bill the
order of business after the disposition
of the interoceanic canal bill, but the
two Republican conferences have rem
dered it evident that there could be
no reciprocity legislation this session,
so the steering committee has aban-
doned its purpose.
It is generally understood about the
senate that reciprocity treaty with
Cuba is well under way, but it is not
believed that there will be any effort
to ratify it during the present session.
The disposition, in brief, is to go to
the country on the question in the
hope that the cause will be strength
ened thereby and that at. least some OF
the beet sugar Republicans will be
won over by next December. Senators
generally do not count on an extra
session Immediately in case treaty
should be sent in, but many of them
are inclined to believe that If the
treaty is completed the senate will be
called together in extraordinary ses
sion for its consideration soon after
the November elections in order to get
the treaty out of the way if possible
before the beginning of the regular
session in November. Indeed, 1t may
be said that this is the present pro
gramme so far as a programme has
been outlined, though its execution
probably will depend somewhat on the
result of the elections, and whether
they are considered favorable to reci
procity or not.
