CLUBS AND STONES.
Were Freely Used by MObs I'm Their
Attacks on Street Cars.

Providence. r. l., June 6.-Thc
street railway strike took violent
form last night. Crowds of men
blocked the streets and ieered at the
officers and passengers of cars, hurl-
ing missiles through windows, cut
ting trolley ropes and defacing with
knives the inner fitting of cars. The
officers freely used their clubs in halG
a dozen riots, mounted men charged
the crowds and 25 arrests were made.
The initial cause of the disturbance
was parade of about 800 striking
conductors and motormen. The line
of march led up the main thorough
fare where a crowd soon gathered.
Motormcn and conductors on the cars
which followed were Kissed and
ieered at until a blockade gave OPP
portunity for demonstration. There
was instant response. The trolley
was pulled off and missiles filled the
air
The police were unable to gain the
mastery until Il number of arrests
were made, which started the crowd
in another direction. Similar out
breaks followed and they grew so
serious that all the available police
in the city were called into the husl-
ness section. Towards midnight the
excitement ceased and the crowd dis
persed.
Owing to the lack of police vigi-
lance in Pawtucket, where the system
was severely crippled, the unruly ele-
ment was allowed full sway because
of the refusal of the mayor to afford
police protection. Boulders were
piled upon the tracks: wagons were
walked in front of cars SO that prog
ress was slow and perilous, and fin

Iates TO the Purchase Of
Supplies for the I'm

Washington. June 6.-The presi-
dent or Thursday sent to the house
the report of Col. Crowder, who made
the investigation of the charges of
Gov. Heard of Louisiana. that the
at Chalmette. La.
Secretary Hay, in letter TO the
governor of Louisiana, dated June 3,
sums up the main facts as found by
Col. Crowder, and also gives the rules
of international usage respecting the
sale of goods to parties at war. Mr..
HAY says the serious point in the
charges submitted by Mr.. Pearson
and by the Boer Legislative commit
tee of Philadelphia was that the
British authorities had enlisted men
in this country for service in South
Afrca. The government made particu-
lar efforts to find out if there was any
basis for this charge, but Mr.. Hay
says that Col. Crowder's report shows
that not n single instance could he
discovered by him. Moreover, the at
torney general requested the Bocr
legislative committee for evidence
which would substantiate this charge,
but received no information from
them on this point.
Mr.. Hay says the president regards
it as evident that what was asked for
by Mr.. Pearson was the reversal of
the policy of the United States since
the formation of our government
The right of our citizens to sell
horses and mules and to ship them
from New Orleans to any other port
Is as undoubted as their right to ship
-four and meat, whether for the use
of civilians or soldiers of the country
of either belligerent. There is no
excuse for the claim that there has
been any violation of the duties and
obligations Of neutrality on the part
of this nation.
Col. Crowder's report is an elabor-
ate presentation of the conditions eX-
listing at Chalmette. He sums up his
findings under six heads, as follows:
"1-The British remount commits
sion, officers of which are operating
and directing purchases and ship
ments of supplies in the United
States, is a bureau of the English
army administration.
''2-As organized by these officers
Chalmette station is a governmental
shipping agency for but one class of
military supplies, and it has not the
character of base of military sup
plies, nor that of a military camp or
post.
"3-No attempts to recruit the Brit
ish army have been made at Chal-
mette station. nor does the evidence
disclose any such attempts at other
points in the United States. A few
muleteers were recruited. but this
was against the orders of the British
government.
"4-AlI shipments have been from
New Orleans to South African ports
upon vessels chartered by the Brit
ish admiralty.
"5-The transactions of the COM
mission aggregate $17.939,3 $50 from Oc
tober. 1899. to March, 1902, with an
average monthly value of $59I97S.
The total shipments are given at 9S.-
6S7 horses and 75,10S mules. G5 diff
ferent vessels being engaged in the
trade, making 1G6 voyages.
"6-All supplies have been for the
use of the English army in South
Africa. the trade having no existence
prior to the war"

ILL-OMENED WEDDING.
A Thousand women Went to Church
mud HIssed the Rride and Groom.

Worcester. Mass, June 5.-One of
the most sensational scenes ever wit
messed in a church in this city was
enacted at st. Johns Roman Catho-
lie church yesterday, when Mary y.
Donaher, teacher in the public
schools Of Worcester, was married to
DR.. Maurice w. Quinn. a dentist, of
Brocton. AS the wedding party en-
tered the church it was met by misses
from 1000 women, who had appar-
emily gathered for that particular
purpose. 4 detail of police was pres
ent to protect the bride and groom,
but they were entirely powerless to
maintain order.
The demonstration grew out of the
attempted shooting of DR.. Quinn, sew
eral days ago by Miss Bertha Condor,
of this city, who asserted Quinn had
betrayed her under promise of mar
riare
