Women and Chil- dren Take a Hand
Colored Strike-breaker is Roughly Handled by the Mob Policeman Also At. tackled on All Sides.

New York, Aug 13.-Women and children to-day joined in the riotous demonstration against non-union men who have taken the places of striking butchers and other employees in the packing houses. From upper win dows and roofs of buildings in the affected district they hurled missiles of all sorts at every Iuckless meat truck driver or beef carrier that passed along the street
 After the demonstrations of yester- day the force of police assigned to the packing house district was laroely in, creased to-day, but the attacks con tinued.
 The first act of violence came when Richard Sargent. colored meat car rier, left the schwarzschild & sulz berger plant early in the forenoon AS he crossed First avenue near Forty second street he was surrounded by q crowd of strikers and hangers-on, and i'll a moment he was yainly attempting to shield his head and face from q rain of sticks, stones and various other missiles which the mob, with savage shouts, hurled at him. Sargent turned and ran down the avenue, pllr- sued by most of the crowd, which con- tinued to pelt him. A policeman who heard the negro's cries ran to his as- sistance, but he was poWerless against the mob, which continued to. assail the strike-breaker and even directed some of their missiles upon the police man. As the two men ran down the street women and children oil the roofs on either side hurled sticks and pieces Of plaster torn from the roofs down upon them Sargent was badly cut about the face and hands when the appearance of several policemen caused the mob to scatter.

Tn the instructions sent to Tsingchou permit the disabled Rus sian vessels to repair sufficiently to proceed to another port but the re- pairs must be strictly limited to mak- ing them seaworthy and not to in- creasing their fighting capacity.

the place for holding the
national convention for 1904
The date fixed for the con

9th, at IL o'clock. Previous
to the meeting of the COM
mittee it seemed a foregone
conclusion Chicago would be
selected as the place Of meet

entered into the situatiOn,
and a majority Of the commit
tee voted for St Louis. For
some hours previous to the
meeting of the committee,
there was talk in the corri-
doris and among democratic
leaders that the convention
in Chicago might be subject
to the influence of a strong
movement and a strong news
paper influence in favor of
some particular candidate.
Mr.. Knapp, ofthe St. Louis
Republic, limited at this in
his speech by saying that the
convention, if held at st.
Louis, would be welcomed
by an absolutely fair press.
The committee meeting
covered considerable discus
sion Of politics, and the

were advocated by their par
tisans but nothing like ia

The importance of selecting good
and competent men for jury service
cannot be over estimated. Upon
the decision of j%uries human life
rests, matters of equity and justice
depend, hence only the best citizens
should be chosen. The old system
of selecting jurors has been abandon
ed by a number of counties in Ten
nessee and instead special acts have
been passed, empowering the Cir
cult Judge in certain counties to APP
point a commission of three men,
who select a venire. The result
has proven satisfactory and the
personnel of the juries has been
greatly improved.
