THE CHICAGO STRIKE.

The Chicago teamsters' joint council
rejected the proposition to end the
strike, which was agreed upon by the
employers and the strike leaders.
Gov. Deneen, of Illinois, has given
his pledge to Mayor Dunno that he
would fill the streets of Chicago with
troops within two hours of the receipt
of an official request either from the
mayor or Sheriff Barrett.
Two men were killed and many in
jured in a Chicago race riot caused by
strike conditions.
Twelve members of the Carriage and
Wagon Workers union and alleged
sluggers were indicted in Chicago for
the death of Charles ]. Carlstrom.
Mayor Dunno, of Chicago, ordered
that another 1000 men be added to the
police force for strike duty, hoping
that this additional strength will avert
a call for troops.

Bonds.

st. Paul State Treasurer Julius b.
Block has under consideration a rec
ommendation to the board of invest
ment of the sale of all or part of the
states holdings of the Virginia bonds.
Mr. Block is Investigating the proba-
BILE price that these bonds would bring
in case they were offered for sale.
The state holds 50, las, coo of %hese
bonds, and all except $4,000 Of them
mature in 1891, with an option on the
part of the state of Virginia 20 redeem
them at par after 1906. Mr. Block is
now corresponding with the authori-
ties of Virginia to ascertain what pro-
portion of them, if any, they expec; &c
redeem. These bonds bear interest at
the rate of per cent, payable semi
annually.
There is a great demand for loans
from the state-from our own school
districts, municipalities and counties
for the purpose of building school
houses, court houses, constructing
drainage bitches, etc, and it is at pres
emit impossible to supply all these calls.
This is particularly true of the north
ern part of the state, which is rapidly
developing. These loans pay the state
4 per cent interest, or 331s per cent
more than the Virginia bonds bring.
Mr. Blocks object in this disposition
of the bonds is thus not only to aid the
municipalities and school districts in
our own state, but it would also result
in a much greater revenue to the state
school, university and other trust
funds, now holding these bonds.

Chicago, May 26.-Orders for the ar
rest of Cornelius P. Shea, Bernard Null

of United States Judge Kohlsaat Thurs
day by Attorney Levy Mayer, repre-
senting the compliments in the strike
injunction cases, on the ground that
the men are in contempt in refusing 10

The orders were requested after the

ney Geeting, solicitor for the unwilling
witnesses, to argue on the PROPOSE
ton that the men have the right to

Keeping pace with the spread OF
the strike to the hardwood lumber
companies, riot after riot broke out
Thursday in the lumber yards and in
the downtown district.
Notwithstanding the renewal OF vio-
lence and the great danger of incen-
diary fires among the infiammable ma
terial in the lumber districts, Mayor
Dunno still holds off his call for
troops, hoping that the new lot of 1000
special police will be able to reinforce
the department sufficiently for the
present. Chief O'Neill is accepting
every able-bodied, respectable man,
white or black, who applies for place
as policeman, and as fast as squads
are formed they are hurried off to do
strike duty.
Many riots kept the police in con-
slant battle with crowds of pickets
and others who sought to interfere
with the nonunion wagons now num-
bering between 1000 and 5000. The
idle teamsters, their numbers added to
by the ever-increasing procession of
strikers from the lumber yards, formed
disorderly gatherings, which quickly
grew into riotous demonstrations.
Other union transfers took occasion to
block nonunion wagons, and many
were the clubbings and charges by the
police.
Vice President Fairbanks, who was
in Chicago Thursday, denied that his
visit had any connection with the
strike, or that heswouId receive any
labor committee. SO far as he knew.

BLOOD is SHED IN WARSAW
EIGHT KILLED AND 100 WOUND
ED IN A RIOT.
Disturbance Is Caused by Attempt to
Drive Disreputables from
Hebrew District.

Warsaw, May 26.-The Jewish dis
orders here Wednesday night arose
from an attempt of the Jewish social
list organization called the Bund to
purge the Hebrew district of Warsaw
of all disreputable persons. The
Bundites. with the view of expelling
their undesirable coreliglonists, COM
menced to wreck disorderly houses,
cafes and other resorts. Four more
persons died Thursday as the result of
injuries received Wednesday night.
Many people were wounded during
Thursdays fighting.
Disturbances continued all day and
were still in progress late Thursday
night. Eight persons have already been
killed and 100 wounded, - seriously.
The damage to property has been con-
siderable. There has been no pillag-
ing, but the destruction of the furni-
ture in the various houses has been
absolute. The mob, armed with axes,
smashed the doors and windows and
brought the furniture out on the
streets, where they broke it into small
pieces. The owners of the furniture
in attempting to defend their belong
ings were attacked, beaten and even
killed. Knives and revolvers were
used freely and many persons were
terribly injured. The authorities took
no steps to prevent the riots until late
Thursday night, when the Cossacks
fired on the crowds at two points,
wounding four persons.
The character of the disturbances is
unprecedented. The whole affair is a
conflict between the respectable Jew
ish socialist classes and the disreputa-
BILE Jewish element. There are con-
fiicting stories as to the origin of the
trouble. One report is to the effect
that the respectable Jews, tired of
hearing the members of their race
called keepers of disorderly houses,
thieves and usurers and other oppro-
brious names, resolved, as the police
were receiving brides for protecting
disreputable houses and persons, to
take the matter into their own hands.
Another report has it that Jewish

bund, were levying blackmail upon
shopkeepers, thus engaging the social
lists. In any case, the socialists SEEM
ingly determined on crusade against
the undesirable persons of their own
race, with the result that crowds of
men and boys are now systematically
running the disreputable houses.
Extraordinary scenes were witnessed
late Thursday night, when the crowds
visited the better section of the city
and demolished apartments filled with
costly effects. Wardrobes, pianos and
mirrors were thrown out of the win
dows. The mob in the streets left open
spaces for the falling articles and then
completed the work of destruction. In
one place quantity of valuable Jewell
ry was taken out and deliberately
smashed with stones. The whole affair
was carefully organized. The leaders
were supplied with the addresses of the
owners of disreputable houses and
scarcely single resort in Warsaw es-
capped destruction.

Less Aid.

Owing to the fact that the last legis-
lature largely increased the number of
rural schools to secure state aid with
out increasing the appropriation, the
rural schools will this year receive con-
siderably less than the $125 each,
which is the regular amount granted.
The legislature provided that a Ger
tain class of rural schools which do not
employ first grade teacher. shall have
$50 aid each. This money must come
out of the 500, 900 appropriated as aid
for first grade schools, and will accord
ingly, cut down the allowance for
each.

the vastly more important problem of
building men at home, and creating a
citizenship which will be an enduring
national foundation forever, and en-
larging our home markets, which will
be unaffected by any foreign complica-

The attention of our people of late
has been so much absorbed by the
problems of our export trade, that we
overlook the fact that the United
States today manufactures annually a
product aggregating in total value the
combined manufactured product of
the three other greatest manufactur-

France and Germany, and we con-
sumo ninety-two per cent of our entire

And if every farm in the United
States were cut in two, and a new
home created on it so that the number
of farm homes, and the capital in
vested in, and labor devoted to agri-
culture throughout the entire United
| States, were thus doubled, the result
would be an enlargement of our popu-
lation, our home market for manu-
features, and our power as a nation,

extending westward from the crest OF
the Allegheny Mountains to the one

the Mississippi River on the north to
