CHARTER.

Chicago, Ill, June 13-The teamsters
strike today showed little material
change in the positions OF employers
and strikers.
The waiting attitude was adopted by
the union leaders as we'll as by the en-
ployers.

sent TO the teamsters by a Boston theatre
where a benefit performance was given
TO aid the strike last Friday. According
10 the finance committee OF the team

for the strike fund are 5000 in excess of
the expenditures

meeting and voted 10 remain on strike
until satisfactory settlement is made
with the express companies.
Officials of the teamsters union are
making arrangement for mass meetings

This time however. there is a possi-
bility that the conflict will be more vio-
lent and there may be several battered
frames after the storm of the session Il
the threats on either side are carried
into execution.
Not daunted by his utter route OF last
week Senator Champln issued call to
arms again in posters that attracted the
public notice OF the inhabitants for the
first time on Sunday. The posters an
nounce that there will be another meet
ing of the taxpayers to vote on the issue
of bonds on Monday afternoon next and
incidentally with the announcement or
the meeting sundry threats have gone
forth TO the effect that at that time to
have the measure carried through the
senator intends TO have a company OF
the state militia on hand or number OF
special deputies appointed by the sheriff
of Newport county.
Just TO see how much there was to these
threats B. B. Mitchell the proprietor OF
the Spring House at Block Island was
in this city today to interview the gov
ernor as TO how much support would be
given the senator In the matter. He was
unableto see the governor, but he stated
that he was given assurance that neither
would the state militia be allowed to
take part I'm the struggle. nor would there
be any deputies sent to the island on next
Monday.
The natives OF the island who are op-
posed TO the issue OF the bonds accord
ing to the plans OF Senator Champlain arc
determined TO have fair play at the meet
ing and fair play to them means the
defeat OF the issue. since the majority
OF those interested in the question at
all are opposed TO IL and openly say that
should there be any attempt to force the
measure through. as was done at the last
meeting of taxpayers, those making IT
will be far more roughly handled than
was the case last week. At all events
the meeting called for next Monday after
noon bids fair TO be the warmest and
the stormiest the island town has known
for a long time.

The mystery of the disappearance OF
Irving Fl. Potter is explained. II was
not so much of a mystery. either, Tor
that he had met his fate in the PewtuXet
river was firmly believed by most Of his
acquaintances.
The slender hope entertained BY Mrs.
Potter and his relatives that lie had gone
ashore fro mhis boat and was wandering
about in a dazcd condition contributed
about all that could be considered as
savoring OF mystery.
FOUND BY SEARCHERs.
The missing mans body was found at
o clock this morning by Ed Church and
John Remington Of Pawtuxet.
They had been searching for tho body
since Saturday morning
Yesterdays prolonged downpour filled
the tributaries Of the Pawtuxet river to
such an extent that, the reservoirs up
stream were filled.
When the mill gates were opened this
morning the volume of water which came
down the usual placid river, converted
the latter into a rapidly moving stream,
with the result that the eddes and pools
were secured and from out of one OF
these was raised the body OF Irving II.
Potter.
Messrs Church and Remington made
fast to the remains, which they discov-
cred at a point just above the Turkey Red
Dye Works.
Medical Examiner A. II Longfelow
was notified and the usual permit 10 nury
was given, Knowles taking charge OF the
body

hire a craft.
The usual deposit OF 81 was made and
getting into the boat he slowly turned the
prov mp stream and leisurely rowed away.
Friday night the weather was lowering,
the air was cold and none cared to remain
late upon the river.
All Of the boats -saXe that hired by Mr.
Potter, were returned by IL o'clock and
as he was still out, two OF the employees
were sent up the river to look for him.
The thought was entertained that per-
haps Mr.. Potter might have met with a
mishap.
FAILED To FIND HIM.
The men sent out returned in half an
hour making the report that they could
see nothing OF the missing boat
One OF the Rhodes brothers rowed up
the river at midnight. Failing 10 find tho
boat decided 10 renew the search early in
the morning
About O'Clock on Saturday the missing
boat was found at point near the Whit
tie Dye works.
One oar was missing. but in the boat
was a hat and overcoat.
Mrs. Potter was notified Of the discovery
anu through a visit made to the boat
house by her brother the coat and hat
were identified as the property OF Mr.
Potter
Men were at once sent up the river TO
drag the stream near where the boat had
been found and, stimulated by a reward
OF S25 for the recovery OF the body they
worked all that day and part OF Sunday
As their efforts were unproductive OF
