year-old son, Lewis, jr., on the street,

marriage annulled because they object

the street. When they met the elder
Runck, however, he refused to notice
the bride. rhe mother pleaded with her
son to leave the girl. The young man
made some inaudable reply which
aroused her ire. Six times she swung
her hand squarely against the ruddy

mutely on. Then the mother and elder
Runck departed. The elder Runck is a

Shea Sent TO Jail.

Cornelius P. Shea, president of the
International Brotherhood of Transfers
and leader in the strike which has ex
listed in Chicago for the last two months,
was arrested and taken to Jail last night.
With him on the journey from the sa-
loon in which he was arrested to the Of
flee of the sheriff, and then to the Jail,
was Hugh McGee, president of the
Truck Drivers Union Both men were
taken into custody on a capias issued on
indictments charging them with CON
spiracy which we're voted by the grand
Jury that.adjourned last Saturday night.
1t was the understanding at the office
of Sheriff Barrett that President Shea,
who was aware of the indictment re-
turned against him, would appear at his
Office during the day and give bonds.
He failed to do so, and Deputy Sherifs
Robert Wilson and Martin HOnan went
after him.
Shea several times broke into violent
language. and the sheriff warned him
that he would be given but little time to
prepare bonds if he did not cease his
abusive language.
81 don't know that even if you did
say that | should go TO Jail whether that
would settle it," replied Shea.
"T'll show you whether it would settle
it," said the sheriff. Turning to Depu-
ties Honan and Wilson he commanded
them to take Shea to Jail Immediately.
Shea saw that he had gone too far,
and attempted to say something to the
sheriff, but the deputies took him quick
ly into the hall and from there TO the
street, where they hailed a cab and took
him to Jail. President McGee followed
in another cab, and in few minutes
the men were inside the Jail. Both were
searched according to the usual customs
by Jailer Whitman, and were then taken
TO cells and locked up.
After being prisoner for little more
than two hours both Shea and McGee
were released, their attorneys having
procured bonds which were approved by
Judge Tuthill.
Albert Young, formerly president of
the International Transfers Union,
for whom warrant was issued, chaTg
ing him with criminal libel in connec-
ton with assertions made that Robert J.
Thorne, secretary of Montgomery Ward
& Co., had offered $40, to have a
strike declared against a rival house,
was arrested yesterday afternoon. He
gave a bond OF IS, 600 for his appearance
when wanted.

Resignation of Minister DeIcasse

Paris, June cit is officially an
nounced that NJ. Delcasse, the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, has resigned. Premier
Bowler has assumed charge of the For

NJ. Delcasse in resigning it was said
was prompted by the fresh crisis
which has arisen in the Moroccan
question. Owing TO the refusal of the
Sultan to accept French reform propos-
ais several weeks ago when the Mo-
roccan question was occupying the at
tention Of the cabinet, to the exclusion
of almost every other subject, NJ. Del
casse offered his resignation but was
persuaded to continue. Ever since it had
become known the Sultan JAILED 10 agree
to the policy outlined by France, it has
been rumored that unless the cabinet
unanimously supported him in the
policy he had pursued in the Moroccan
affair, that the Foreign Minister would
surrender his portfolio. Some of the
ministers, it is reported, have been in
clined to question the wisdom of Del
casse's plains in regard to Morocco, and
it is understood this led to the resigna.

criticism on the part of the other minis

1t is regarded as somewhat significant
that the honor conferred upon Chancellor
Won Buelow by Kaiser Wilhelm, who has
elevated his prime minister TO the rank
of prince, should have been announced
on the very day when NJ. Delcasse re-
signed his position as French Minister
of Foreign Affairs The resignation of
NJ. Declasse was undoubtedly caused on
account OF the Moroccan question and
his retirement means that he failed in
his policy toward that country Won

German Empire, conducted the German
negotiations with the Sultan, through
special embassies sent TO Fee, which re-
suited in the rejection of the French
plans for reforms in Morocco, is reward

thus being openly considered. 1t was
stated in governmental circles late this
afternoon that Premier Bowler, who as
sumed the duties of Foreign Minister
upon the acceptance of NJ. Delcasse's
resignation, will retain that portfolio
permanently and that either Deputy

CRISIS IN RUSSIA.

Emperor Nicholas's ukase virtually
creating Governor General Trepof die
tator has given rise to mighty SEN
sation in St. Petersburg. 1t is the inn
perial recognition of the crisis in the in
ternal affairs of Russia, and instinctiyely
recalled the step taken by the En-
perOr's grandfather, Alexander III, I'M
mediately after the attempt to blow up
the Winter Palace, in 1880, when he APP
pointed a commission of public safety
headed by Gen. Loris- Melikof, except
that the position of Gen. Trepof will
be more analogous TO that occupied by
LOris- Meikof when later in the same
year he was appointed minister of the
interior, with full control of the police.
"Reaction and repression" doubtless
will be the quick Interpretation put upon
the Emperor's act as soon as it becomes
known to the liberals. Buried in the
columns of the Official Messenger, aud
coming almost without warning, The
ukase is not as yet generally known,
but to the initiated the future of Con-
stantine Petrovitch PobiedOnostzef,
chief procuratOr of the holy synod,
looms large.
On the surface of things it looks ominously
like the placing Of Trepoff at the helm to
deal with the internal crisis which the de-
termination 10 pursue the war is apt to cause.
Indeed, there are rumors that a general mo-
Utilization has already been decided upon,
and that the appointment Of Trepofi was made
so as to enable the government to carry IL out.
The union Of Russian journalists yesterday

called for today, for which go delegates from
various zemstvos and municipalities, includ-
ing the mayors Of twenty-five cities, arrived

introduce resolutions calling for the immedi-
ately cessation Of hostilities, has been pro-

are proposing measures Of an extreme type,

probable developments today.
