The shops are not the only improve

meet with the Hamline line, the inter
urban system on University avenue, the
Rondo line on Rondo street, and the
'Selby and Merriam Park cars on Sci
by avenue, ending finally with the
Grand avenue line. The cross-town line
will do much toward building up the
cross-town district thru which it runs.
Smelling avenue is a broad, handsome
street, but has not been much built up
because of so little of it being con-
venient to the car lines.
The Merriam Park people especially
are looking forward to the approach
ing day when their special line along
Marshall avenue will be extended to
Minneapolis, thus making thru service
and making Merriam Park still more
popular as a place of residence for
Minneapolitans. Further plans of the
street railroad people include extend:
ing the terminal Of the Hamline line
so that, it will come out at University
and Prior, where the Merriam Park
line connects with the interurban. This,
too, will be an advantage for Mime
apolis people who desire to reside in
the Midway district, for it will make
Hamline and all adjacent territory
much more accessible than it is at
present.
The 5 cent fare, recently put into
effect from Smelling avenue on the in.
terurbans to Minneapolis will also be
beneficial. It permits residents Of Ham
line and the St. Paul end of Merriam
Park to ride to MINI eapolis for 5 cents

between these suburban residence parks

lines, tie cars being but a few minutes
apart. This frequent car service lasts

that it would very seriously impede

uniform hours for all labor, because
some labor must he employed twelve
hours, while ten hours is the regular
rule for most of the workingmen.

Luyerne's handsome new, hotel, the
Manitou, which is situated less than
sixty feet from the barn, was in great

Cut Of IS Per Car. ~ ..-.(-
,. Chicago, April 11.-One of the most
startling moves by Western railroads
In freight traffic for a long time was
made by the Chicago and Eastern Hill
nois during the day, when it was an.
nounced that that line will absorb the
terminal charges across the bridges at
st. Louis on all freight carried over
its road. This charge amounts to S.
per car and has hitherto been added
to the freight charges to East st.
Louis. BY the new plan the freight
charges to East st. Louis will take
the freight across the bridge without
the toll to the bridge company. The
result is direct reduction in rates
Of IS per car. The action of the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois was without
the consent of competing lines, 1t il
feared that the movement may lead
to general breakup in Western rail-
road rates on competing traffic.

GREAT DAMAGE RESULTS.
Destructive Hail Storm Passes Over

Pittsburg, April 11-One of the
worst hail storms in years passed
over Pittsburg during the afternoon.
Hailstones two inches in diameter fell
all over the city, doing much dam
age to skylights, Conservatives and
plate glass windows. At Schenley
park about one-half of the glass in the
skylights of the Phipps conservatory
was broken. The private conserya-
tories of H. c. Frick and A. R Pea
cock in the East End also suffered
severely. In the business part of the
city many plate glass windows were
broken. The falling hail frightened
horses on the streets and there were q
number Of runaways. AS far as
known no one was seriously hurt.

MOMENTARlLY.
WILL BE THE GREATEST SEA
BATTLE IN THE. WORLDS
HISTORY.

st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE opin-
ion prevails strongly in the admiralty
that the coming action between Togo
and Rojestvensky will be- fought off
the Pescadofes islands, between; For
mosa and China, where the Japanese
have established naval base. .}5
According to latest advices the
Russian fleet which passed Singapore
day before yesterday is. lying about
two hundred, miles directly north of
that place on the. east coast of the
Malay peninsula, while it is thought
in some quarters that the Japanese
fleet is lying off the south coast Of
Anam in the neighborhood of Saigon.
This would place the two fleets about
two to three hundred miles apart
with possibly a strong scouting fleet
of Japanese cruisers much closer to
the Russian ancorage.
d. The. second squadron of the Rus.
sian fleet which was' reported yester,
day as sighted south of. the. island OF
Java has not since been reported but
is evidently attempting to join the
main squadron and it is just prob.
able that they may encounter the
japanese feet or a portion of it be.
fore they effect the conjunction.
Excitement In Naval Circles.
Washington, D. c., April Little
else than the forthcoming battle be-

fleets in the China sea is now talked
about in Washington. 49,. -
Interest among diplomats and naval
officers it at white heat. Every one
recognizes that perhaps the most i'm
portant naval engagement since
Trafalgar. is now near at hand; and
unless expectations are disappointing
it will be the first really great con-
flict on the sea since the birth of
modern steel fighting ships.
There have been engagements be-
tween -. few ships, as in the present
war, and the war between Japan and
China. There have been one-sided
running fights amounting almost to
slaughter, as when SIMPSONS squad
ron Z, destroyed Cervera's feet. But
there never has been such a conflict
as the whole world is now to tiptoe
over
Almost every naval officer in Wash
ington believes Togo ultimately will
succeed in destroying or scattering
the Russian armada They say it
may take several weeks to do it, but
in the end they have no doubt it is to
be done.

4 RoYcoTTED CHICAGO FIRM
STARTS RIoTING.
COMPELLED TO CHARGE MOB IN
ORDER TO CLEAR "A WAY
FOR THE. WAGONS.

Chicago, April Ii 1.-THE force of po-
hce guarding the freight caravans Of
Montgomery Ward & Co. was doubled
during the day in anticipation of riot
ing by sympathizers, with the firms
striking teamsters and garment wor..1-
ers.. About 200 blue<oats were on
hand at the Ward building when the
first Of the. wagons was ready to start.
An attempt to deliver several
packages Of clothing to Montgomery
Ward & Co. by Levy SALESMAN, an
expressman, was the signal for the
opening of hostilities in the boycott
Of the Arm. Salesman went into the
firms Office to get instructions as to
where to leave the packages Before
he returned two youths climbed on
the seat Of the wagon and, under the
noses of Il twenty-five policemen who
were on guard in the alley, drove the
wagon out aud disappeared at a gal
1op., .sf.s-- 49,. -. ...
Scenes Of violence marked the first
attempt to move freight from the
Montgomery Ward building The pc
lice were compelled to use their clubs
freely randg q way was .fnaAy, cleared
and the. wagons proceeded to their
destination. ~
Deliberate Blockade Formed. -
The police had a serious time at the
Lake Shore freighthouse, where wag-
ons were loaded with freight con-
signed to Montgomery Ward & Co
The teamsters friendly to the strikers
concluded that the wagons would
probably attempt to pass Polk and La
Sale streets. Accordingly they formed
deliberate blockade at that point
and a hundred teams were soon in an
inextricable mass. The police endeav-
ored to. clear the way, but after club
btng teamsters and horses for nearly
an hour the attempt was abandoned
and 1t was decided to take the freight
filed trucks by a different route.
Another caravan composed of four
wagons had turbulent trip to ware
houses at Clinton and West Monroe
streets. At Washington and Market
streets 1000 persons stopped the cara
van despite clubbing by the police.
The throng was kept at bay until the
Washington street bridge was gained
when the crowd melted away, only to
turn up in still greater force in Canal
street. Here it again became neces-
sary for the bluecoats to charge the
mob.
