Ing the meat
Fully 100 shots were fired by the po-
lice and the members of the mob. but
nobody was struck by bullet.
Two of the officers were cut on the
head by stones thrown by rioters. A
score of the rioters were Knocked
down by policemen and were carried
off by their friends.
The packers assert that fully eighty
per cent. of the usual amount of work
was carried on yesterday. The re-
ceipts Of livestock, while not large.
still were almost normal compared
with corresponding days before the
strike began.
With an army OF more than 500
pickets the ice wagon drivers and help
ers' union yesterday established a
blockade OF the retail and cold storage
meat market business of Chicago. The
union determination to extend the
strike to the cold storage warehouses
comes as a distinct surprise to the
packers, and this was accentuated by
the action of the ice car helpers, who
declared an intention not to handle ice,
for any dealers who patronize the
strike affected packers.

the brakes of the fifteen freight cars,
bringing them TO a standstill.
The strike breakers fed In terror,
some OF them being chased for blocks.
but all escaped injury. After the es.
cape OF the non-union men the raob

At the time of his trial a number of
letters threatening her life were Of
fered in evidence. Upon signing an

ago but the sheriff cautioned his wife
to be on the lookout for him and al
ways be prepared.

husband and to try to induce him to
go away. The door was locked and
she was talking to him through the

with an oath drew a revolver, order
ing them to leave. He then broke in
the door and entered the hall with the
revolver still in his hand. Immedi
ately his wife shot him through the
head. killing him instantly. Coroner
Davidson was summoned and took
charge Of the remains.

WASHINGTON LETTER


Secretary Cortelyou has lately been
doing something in the Haroun-al-Ras-
chd business. One evening recently
about ~ o'clock he called up Commits
sioner General Sargent of the bureau
of Immigration by telephone ana asked
him to get ready ut once for Il trip to
New York and be at the Pennsylvania
railroad station in time for the mid
night train. That was the first notice
any one had of the secretary's intcn-
tion to visit Ellis Island. He appeared
at the immigration station the next
morning bright and early, and when
he returned three days later it was
with lot of first hand information
which he thinks will prove very useful
in handling the Washington end of the
service.
The President ns Handshaker.
President Roosevelt has suCcumbed
utterly to the handshaking necessity
When he undertook the duties of the
presidency he had an idea that much
valuable time had been wasted by his
predecessors in unnecessary saluta-
tons of this kind and for many weeks
he did little prOmiscuouS shaking. But
the pressure from the pump handle bri-
gade has been severe, and he has felt it
necessary to yield from time to time
until he is now one of the most expert
grippers of the palm known to the
trade Every day Just before luncheon
he holds an informal reception at
which from twenty to fifty persons,
mostly women, are presented and
greeted in the stereotyped manner. The
other morning he received a visiting
delegation of one of the fraternal or
ganizations and report credits him
with shaking hands with 100 men in
twenty minutes. On that day he is
said to have cut out.h Japanese wrcS-
Ting practice.

At recent dinner Associate Justices
Harlan and Brewer of the United
States supreme court were among the
guests. Both made brief speeches, in
which humorous allusions were made
to each other. Justice Brewer said it
was Il popular error to suppose that
any law points were decided in the
Northern Securities case.
THE opinion of the court" said JUS
tice Brewer, with a merry twinkle in
his eye, was delivered by my brother
Harlan"
Later on in the same speech Justice
Brewer said: MY brother Harlan is a
most lovable man, whom | have been
instructing in the law for fourteen
years. Now, if Justice Harlan only
knew little more law he would make
good Judge"
None enjoyed these humorous drives
more than Justice Harlan.
