All is quiet in the vicinity of the Jer-
sey City Silk Mills. The police. how
ever, are still alert and prepared to meet
and trouble caused by an invasion of riot,

boken. Only one of any consequence Of
the several Jersey City mills is open
that Of G. Stohn & Sons. at Summit ave-
nue. and Bleecker street That mill is not
running with its full complement of
hands. Only about two hundred are EN-
played, and the owners declare they
would as lieve close down as not, but
that the employees want to work.
This morning the management noticed
a number of suspicious characters hang
ing about the vicinity of the mill. Po-
lice Captain Wohlleben was notified by
the management that trouble was ex-
pected. and reserves were Immediately
but quietly despatched to that vicinity
and stationed under cover in various To-
cations convenient to the mill. Alta pre-
concerted signal the men could almost
instantly concentrate at any point IN the
immediate vicinity of the mill. The man
agement of the mill evidently anticipated
the appearance of marching mob from
the northern section at the noon nour
The police are determined that the work
men in the mill shall not be molested
There were no signs of trouble up to
one o'clock. and Chief Wohlleben notified
the reserves to 90 TO dinner and report at

TO Be MADE SAFE
Agitation in /" The News "
Causes Authorities to
Promise Every Pre-
caution for 1000
Barrel Oil Tank.
LAFAYETTE DETERMINED
Will Fight to the Last Any
Attempt to Erect the Con-
tinual Menace to Their
Families.

The residents of Lafayette are not
disposed to agree with the Republican
Fire Commissioners regarding the con-
struction Of that 1000 barrel oil tank in
that section, and want it understood
that they will make strong fight to
prevent the storage of such a quantity
of oil so near the numerous residences
Notwithstanding the position taken by
the Commissioners the residents refuse
to believe that there is no danger from
such large tank.
A reporter of 1.-THE News" in a trip
through Lafayette this morning found
dozens of residents who protested against
the erection of the tank
Fire Chief Conway stated this after
noon that he had been ordered to super
wise the construction of the tank.
..All of the Commissioners and myself
have looked over the site where Messrs.
Heidi and Young propose to build the
tank. 1t is near the bank of the canal
at a point where Forrest street would
be if it were cut through. The Commits
sioners were of the opinion that there
would be no danger if the tank is built
properly.
The firm is located in New York. They
have not notified ME when they will be-
gin work or how big the tank is to be.
But you can rest assured that the tank
will be built in a manner which will in
sure absolute safety or it will not be
built at all. Should the firm fail to COM
ply with the laws shall ask the Fire
Board to rescind the resolution giving the
firm permission to build the tank.
From what | can learn the company
is to introduce an oil burner in this city
which will take the place Of coal for
heating and cooking purposes.
.'We have been trying to do away with
the storage of oil in the city to lessen
the danger of explosions and fires.
have no doubt property owners will make
big fight against allowing their tenants
TO use these oil stoves"
Commissioner Frank Angel was seen
by a reporter of @The News" at the pic
mic of the Lafayette Republican Bat
terry, held in the Greenville Schuetzen
Park last evening, regarding the Boards
action in granting the permit to store oil
in the Lafayette section. He declared
his position in very emphatic manner.
Several persons overheard the Com
missioner's remarks and took different
view, of the matter. One man remarked
to the Commissioner that he would not
like to be near where the oil was stored
for there would be ''hell to pay if the
tank ever caught fire.

directors The floor will be of tiling and
the pillars and interior adornments of
marble.
The building will be constructed under
the supervision of Clinton and RUSSELL
the architects, and will be built in
thoroughly modern manner. The vaults
will be of the very latest design and
every comfort will be provided for the de :.
positors. 1t is the intention of the
officers to show every courtesy to the de-
positors.
The growth of the institution is simply
marvellous. There are now about four
hundred depositors on the books and the
business is increasing daily under the
careful management of the officers, and
especially Secretary George c. Smith. He
has devoted considerable time to the
work and his efforts have been amply re
warded with the most encouraging re-
suits.
The present work force consists of Mr..
Joseph Harrison and three assistants.
Mr.. Halrison's force will be doubled by
the first Of the month. The temporary
quarters now occupied at No 96 Month
cello avenue, are entirely inadequate and
the new building cannot be erected ton
soon to meet the demands for space.
The institution began business on April
'2s, with capital of $4,000.

CITY EXCITED.

Knots of people are gathered on all OF
the street corners. Any little excite
ment of an unusual nature is the signal
for the gathering Of hundreds. a gen
eral feeling of unrest pervades the town
and the peaceably inclined citizens go
around with anxious loos on their faces
and an appearance of expectation OF
trouble. Special care is taken in keep
ing the doors of the houses locked and
parents tell their children not to stray
from their own front yards. Many of
the children are kept home from going
to school, although the schools are all
omen and some scholars attending.
POLICE PRAISED.
The latest advices received from the
police are that they do not expect any
further violence as they think the lesson
administered yesterday viii be lasting
The police deserve all praise for the ex-
cellent manner in which they subdued
the strikers yesterday considering the
small force. On the regular force there
are but fifteen men and three officers
and only forty specials.
1t has been rumored that the strikers
from Jersey City Heights and Paterson
would march through Union Hill, but
50 far nothing has been learned in con-
frmation.

The WATERCURE.
Turbulent Polyglots Routed
By Firemen After a Sharp
Struggle in Union
Hill.

Union Hill was thrown into state OF
intense excitement late yesterday after
noon when handful of policemen were
called upon to repel the attack of a mob
Of fully 1000 enraged silk weavers who
were anxious to storm the mill of r. &
II. Simon because the firm had refused
to close down out of sympathy with the
Paterson strikers.
The authorities had received timely
warning and the police We're prepared
to meet the rioters. The battle, while
decidedly warm while it lasted, was of
short duration. Many heads were broken
in the fight, two policemen were cut by
stones and a dozen or more citizens We're
hurt, but no one was seriously injured.
While the entire force had been or
dered out, the policemen were so few in
number that alone they would have
stood very little chance with the infuri-
ated mob. When it was recognized that
they could not cope with the mob, but
would be overwhelmed by numbers, the
Fire Department was called out The
several companies responded promptly.
Connections were made with the nearest
fire hydrants and a half-dozen streams
of water were poured on the rioters. The
water was driven with such force that
it fairly carried the weayers off their
feet. They quickly broke and fled in
every direction. After that the police
had comparatively easy time of it.
They quickly cleared the streets in the
immediate vicinity of the mill and kept
them clear until the mill closed down
for the day and the employees departed
for their homes.
During the battle eleven of the rioters
were placed under arrest,
RIOT LONG BREWING.
For a week or more representatives of
the Paterson strikers have been at work
among fhe weavers employed in the
North Hudson silk mills with a view to
getting them to strike in sympathy with
the men who are now out in Paterson.
Last week a mass meeting of the weas-
ers was held in West Hoboken. Adj
dresses were made b the representatives
of tic strikers. No action was taken at
The meeting but since them there havge
been rumors that they intended to strike
and there has been a feeling of unrest
which was of course noticed by the mill
owners This feeling seemed to gain
strength every day. Fearing trouble al!
the owners decided yesterday morning te
close down. The firm of Il. and H. ST.
mon was the only exception. Its en-
ployes were opposed to having the mil
shut down and Herman Simon, who is
now in control, decided not to close
down.
This was anything but satisfactory 10
the West Hobolzen weavers, the major
portion Of which are Italians and Ar
menians.
A deputation composed of three Ital
ians waited on Mr.. Simon and asked him
to close down the same as the other
mills.
He told the committee be was person
ally ready to do so, but he would first
have to consult his hands with view to
learning 1heir wishes in the matter.
Leaving the committee in his office. he
had a short conference with his EN-
! ployees. He told them what the commit

from Paterson and that they also threat

The submarine torpedU-boats Pike

ing at the Union Iron Works for the
United States Navy for some time past
are now nearly completed, and it is ex-
pected that they will be launched about
the first of the coming month. Their
trial trips, both submerged and on the
surface, are scheduled to take place a
few days after, as the boats win be
practically completed and ready for
service when they are launched.
These boats are two of the eight
which are now being built in this coun-
try for the American Navy They are
of the Holland type, and will, it is con-
fdently believed, constitute a highly
important factor in the defense of our
coasts and harbors from attack by hos
tile fleets. They are seepy, and can
sink at viii to great depths. They are
designed, in fact, to go to a depth as
great as 400 feet, though in actual frac-
tice, such as attacking a battle-ship
twenty feet submersion would suffice for
effective action.
