STRIKERS TURBULENT
SEVERAL MEN ARE HURT, BUT
NONE SERIOUSLY.
Company Declares 1t Can Run -
Cars In Houston II Given Pro-
lection BY the Police
Sympathy Divided.

Houston, Texas, June 3.-There were
turbulence in the street car strike to-
day: several men were hurt but none
seriously and this afternoon the Mayor
ordered the Eighth Guards dispense
a crowd which had gathered about the
office of the car company. most OF
them aetuated by curiosity. This
was easily accomplished and the mill
tary was marched back TO the armory
Ia await further demonstrations.
The street car company has secured
a number of professional strike break-
ers and few cars were run during the
day. In addition to the train men
each car carried half dozen of the
strike breakers. all of them armed
with clubs. Some of the strike break
ers have been arrested for carrying re-
volvers.
The strikers issued statement de-
nying any knowledge OF or sympathy
with the demonstrations made against
the cars this morning. The company
sticks to its refusal to further dis
cuss the strike and asserts that 1t wIll
run cars regularly if given police pro-
lection.
Public opinion appears to be divid-
ed according to the individual sympa-
thy with or against organized labor.
Both the men and the company claim
to have the public sympathy. Lac
cars which were run carried very ~
passengers and those did not repeat
their trips.

patches from Far Feast.
London, June 4.-No further light has
been thrown on the rumors concerning
General Kuropatkin's intentions
Dispatches In The Morning Post from
Shanghai and to The Chronicle from
Newchwang repeat the reports of the
movement of $4,000 Russians to Kaip-
ing. The correspondents assert that
five days fighting took place at Wa
fangtsn and that the Russians are en-
ploying four thousand carts to remove
munitions from Liaoyang to Kaiyuen,
seventy miles north of Mukden.
The Morning Posts Shanghai cor
respondent also says that General
Mistchenko has sent four thousand
cavalry of the Imperial Guard from
Kwangcheng Tsu to cut off the Japa-
nese at Pitsewo. No great reliance,
however, should be placed on these
dispatches which evidently have some
common Chinese origin.
The Daily Mails correspondent at
Mukden, telegraphing under date of
June 3, says that fighting occurs faily
beyond Liaoyang, but that a decisive
battle is not expected for some time.
The Japanese plan of campaign is re-
garded at Mukden as having now been
definitely disclosed. They occupy the
IIaotung peninsula in three divisions
between Nengalien (Nakwanling) and
ton by the coast to their position at
Fengwang Cheng.
The Standard Toxic correspondent
mentioned the discredited rumor that
General Stoessel proposed a surrender
on the condition that the whole Port
Arthur garrison should be allowed to
retire to Newchwang under arms.

eral Kurpatkin transmits to the Min
report of General Stoessel dated Port
Arthur May % as follows:
After a fierce battel lasting two
days l ordered our positions at Kin
Chou to be evacuated in the evening
for we had opposed to us at least three
divisions with 800 guns.
The enemy's fire, particularly that
from four gunboats and six torpedo
boats, completely annihilated our bat
teries mounted at Kin Chou.
The 5th regiment, which was posted
on this spot stood it's ground heroical-
ly. The fire of this regiment, as well
as that of our batteries and the gun
boat Boboroff Khounouza. inflicted
enormous losses on the Japanese.
Our losses amounted to thirty of
fcers and eight hundred men killed or
wounded. We blew up or dana ged
all our guns which the Japanese had
not put out of action,
1T would have been inexpedient GER
tainly to bring up siege artillery dur
ing the fierce fighting
THE battle of May % began at 5
a. m. and lasted until s p. m. when
ordered the position evacuated
gradually. The explosion of a number
of our mines and fougades was render
ed impossible by the japanese who
turned our position Immediately. The
advance of the Japanese was through
water up to their waist under the pro
lection of their ships. The spirits of
our troops is excellent"

Before she could say more Raisuli

We waited ten minutes while uncle
