THE FIERCEST RIOT OF
THE STRIKE IN CHICAGO.
Mob of Hungry strikers Tried to
Capture and Kill Steers.


Chicago, Aug. 1S.-The fiercest riot
of the stock yards strike occurred this
evening, when hungry jewellers of the
packing house district sought to cap
ture and kill eight steers which had es-
capped from the yards.
The mob numbered 1000 persons and
the streets were cleared only after 120
policemen, in five squads, had charged
the rioters on four sides. Shots were
fired and scores of rioters were
dubbed A bullet grazed the cheek of
Police Lieutenant George Prim, and d
police sergeant was stripped of his
star and club by a woman rioter. One
man was so severely battered that he
was sent to the Englewood Union
Hospital.
Few arrests were made, as the police
contented themselves with dispensing
the mob. The temper of the police
was shown, however, when call for
reinforcements was answered by a
number of patrol wagons, followed by
an ambulance.
In no previous riot were clubs used
so freely.

THEY MET OFF PORT ARTHUR
Capt. Reitzenstein Describes the Action That Fol
lowed the Attempt of the Russians to Escape

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 19-The En-
peror has received from Capt. Reit-
zenstein, commander of the cruiser di-
vision at Port Arthur, a report of the
battle of Aug. 10. dated at Shanghai.
The report says the squadron began
to move into the outer roadstead at 5
o'clock in the morning and at $50 the
following vessels issued in single file,
preceded by mine clearing launches:
The battleship Czarevitch, flying the
flag of Rear Admiral Without, COM
manding the squadron; Retvizan, Po-
Admiral Prince Ouktomsky command
ing the ironclad division; Savastopol
and Poltava; the cruiser Askold, fly
ing the flag of Capt. Reitzenstein, COM
handing the cruiser division, and the
cruisers Pallada and Diana.
The protected cruiser Novik went
ahead of the squadron, leading the first
torpedo fiotilla, while two gunboats and
another torpedo fotilla accompanied
the feet to protect the mine clearers on
their way back. The hospital ship
Mongolia, flying the Red Cross flag,
also accompanied the squadron.
The passage across the mined road
stead was accomplished with good for
tune, but it occupied two hours. At 9
o'clock Admiral Without gave the sig

Dor.

WHEAT JUMPED ABOUT.
Spectators ms Easy TO Sell ms They
Had Been to Buy.

Chicago, Aug 1s.-A nervous crowd
of interested spectators waited the
tap of the opening bell to-day on the
Board OF Trade, as eager to sell wheat
as on the previous day they had been
to buy. The price suffered a decline
at the moment of opening. ranging
from 1 cent 10 cents a bushel Later
prices had sudden rebound and May
wheat, which was sold down to S1.0SA
at the start, jumped up again to SLIP.
The reason for the change of heart
among the traders overnight, as shown
in the early trading, was the failure
of the Weather Bureaus forecast Of
possible frost In the spring wheat
country to come true.
Hundreds of nervous wheat owners
had hardly got rid Of their grain when
il was reported in telegram from
Winnipeg, sent by a well known crop
examiner who had gone up TO Mani
toba, that the rust which had ruined
the crops Of Minnesota and the Ds-
kotas was at work in the British
Northwest Territory and threatened
that part of the country with a similar
calamity.

torpedo boats fired torpedoes at the
Askold but they all missed and one
torpedo boat was sunk, whereupon the
others withdrew.
There was hail of shells for twenty
minutes and the Askold was badly

A Japanese priest who was on board
the transport Sado Maru and saw the
Russian cruisers sink the Hitachi Maru
states:
I'VE observed a column of white
smoke rising from the Hitachi Maru,
which shortly afterward disappeared.
Before the transport sank woman
appeared on the deck of one of the Rus

Rurik.
She stood against the ships rail
and waved a handkerchief smiling and
chatting as the Hitachi went down.
She was evidently pleased at the de-
struction of the vessel for her country's
sake.
I'VE were furious with Indignation at
the behavior of this woman, and fear
ed that she would repeat it when the
Sado Maru went down. We all felt
very angry and wished we could curse
her to death with our dying breath IL
