LABOR RIOTS IN CHICAGO.
One Man Loses Life in Windy City
 Disturbance.

Chicago. April 5.-Although it was an nounced last night that the strike at the American Can Company's plant in this city had been settled. the ,rioting around the place today was fiereer than life. v'a ''' g
 The fighting began early in tho. morn ing, when 300 Greeks who have been em- ployed during the strike, attempted to como to the factory. They were met at the gates by union pickets who attacked them with stones and clubs. A large detachment tried to maintain order. but met with only moderate success. A shot fired from the crowd aroused the Greeks to fury. The Greeks. who had entered the factory came pouring nIt arrnc1 with knives and revolvers, and attempted to attack the union men and their sympa- thizers who were assaulting their coun- trymen at the gateway. The police, keep the two bodies of men apart. drove tho Greeks into the factory and dispersed the crowd on the outside. Tn this fight a number of men were battered up.
 At night. when the 300 Greeks left the place they were attecked by a mob 1000 strong, that pelted them with stones, sticks and bottles. The police. however, escorted them to the train without hay ing been seriously injured. although quite a number of men on both sides were bruised After the Greeks had reached the train 1t Is said. somebody on the ca rs fired at shot, the bullet killing Nichols instantly

 NEW YORK. April 5.-Cotton futures in the local market to-day opened steady in tone with first prices at a decline of to 6 points for the old crop months. /. The new crop options were slightly higher. There was some covering early in the day. but with this de- mand filled up the offerings soon became ex- cessive and there was some. reactionary ten dency. It was reported that prominent Phila- delphia spot interests were actively selling the market here and at Liverpool. The spot in- terests generally were said to be ayerse to ad- vances and it was figured that the stronger interests were working to depress the market As the day wore on there was considerable irregularity, shorts being inclined to take profits on the dips The buying from this source, attracted considerable attention. The undertone of the market throughout the day was rather uncertain. The port receipts for for the same day last year.

STEEL DIVIDEND.
Deficit Created in Order to Pay Reg
 ular Amount.

ular Amount.
 New York, ApriH 5.-The directors of the United States Steel Corporation de- clared the regular quarterly dividend of 1A per cent. on the preferred stock. The amount thus applied to the dividend was $6,s04,919, and in order to meet this pay ment a deficit for the quarter. of $1, ,S57, 120 was created.
 Earnings for the last quarter (March estimated at $5,sOO,O0O) amounted to $13.- 20S,SS6. Although the lowest in the cor poration's history, they were better than the most extravagant estimates made by outsiders .. =
 They were less by $1,2SS,295 than the earnings for the fourth quarter of last year. '.' '' ''
 It was thought that the corporation's 8 new system of accounting inaugurated with the new year. under which earn ings are not credited until the product has actually been sold, would tend to reduce profits in this quarter. E ~
 The balance of A.477;990 applicable to dividends was struck after N,S45,6l5 had been paid off to the sinking funds of the constituent companies depreciating and reserve funds, and $6. S1s,442 was charged to interest on the corporation $ bonds and sinking funds for the quar- ter. l..
 Earnings for the first quarter of 19oa were $25.o TOT. and for the correspond ing period of 1902 were 26,7l5. 457 in both cases more than enough to meet the dividends on both preferred and common shares.
 Unf1lled orders on hand for the quarter amounted to $14,136961 tons, an increase of $921,ssS tons over the quarter ended December 31, last. .,. .. -t-

STAND OF VARDAMAN
SAYS NEGRO WILL NOT BE
 LYNCHED.
Mississippi Governor Says He Will Spend His Last Dollar to Secure the Black
 Fair Trial.

Jackson, Miss, April 5-"I will spend every dollar at my command, but what l will give that negro fair trial" This came from Governor Vardaman this afternoon in regard to, the negro Baldwin who was carried to Sumner, ,Tallahatchie County, under military escort to prevent lynching today. It is not believed the negro will be mobbed. The Governor stated late this afternoon that all was quiet at Sumner.
 Albert Baldwin, who killed Engineer Fogarty some time ago. was this morning taken to Tallahatchie County for trial. When the train reached Tohula word came to the Governors office that mob would take the negro off the train and lynch him. The Governor telegraphed the officers in charge to take the negro to Greenwood and keep him there. He ordered Major Keesier to have a detach- ment of militia ready and to take the negro to Sumner on a special train under military escort. Baldwin is the negro that. the Governor saved by taking military company to Batesville and bring
 ing him to this city where has been ever since in jail.
 Governor Vardaman acted promptly this morning when advised of the con- templated lynching.

 NEW ORLEANS, April 5.-The lengthy holiday period failed to lnfuse energy into the English market; in fact the nature of the business transacted indicated that the holi- days might have been extended without any serious discomfort to the. trade. Deliveries moved up and down and closed nearly iden- tical with the final prices of last Thursday. Spots were quoted at about s2 % per bale, but this failed to attract any demand and the standing the promise of an early revival in business at Manchester and the contention that foreign ,splnners held small stocks of raw cotton. The chief feature here consisted of liquidation by longs. who, were disappointed at the non-appearance of the expected inquiry for actual cotton.

fIlv private Wire from CIV, Ice e CoD
 NEW YORK, April 5.-It was the narrow ness of the market that caused the break. There was no change in the position many way, simply that when those who bought lower attempted stake profits there was no buying fower to absorb fhSNstyff Stop Hrders were received and the niafket broke easily up half a cent here; in spite of this the priSe broke half a cent. In Liverpool cotton sold about l6ia at one tir,c for. May-June and v cents for spots, and then broke half cent. For some reason people here were inclined to let go and look for a break to buy again.
 There was very little short Interest and this left the price to breake more rapidly. The po-. sitlon is so strong that, no one win sell. There fore, when profits are taken there are too few buyers to prevent a crash. This is why the average trader takes profit on a good bulge and waits for breaks to buy. The market Is. narrow The advance to 5.45 was a sev enty-point rise; no wonder we had break. We don't look for much floweri prices as long as receipts are sfnallNc On tsuch breaks we had to-day cotton should be bought and sold on a sharp rise.
