SERIOUS TROUBLE IN PROSPECT
AT HAMILTON, ONTARIO.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HAMILTON, Ontario November 24.-Mob
rule holds sway here today. and the police
are unable to cope with the street car
strike situation Regulars to the number
of no. under the command Of Col Ogilvie
were ordered from the Stanley barracks
Toronto, last evening, and are now in the
city.
mob Of strike sympathizers dynamited
the East End car barns at the corner Of
Sanford avenue and King street at
o'clock this morning. A portion OF the
building was wrecked. number Of strike
breakers were quartered in the barns, but
1t is said none Of them was hurt.
An attempt was made last night to oper-
ate cars after dark, and the excitement
was intense. The entire police force was
wholly inadequate to check the mob, which
wrecked the cars. the street railways, the
Radial railway and the buildings where
the strike breakers were quartered. Re-
volver shots were exchanged, but, so far
as known. nobody was seriously injured.
The arrival Of the military early this
morning had Quieting effect, for without
question the strikers were in a mood to dc
serious damage. The military forces in the
city consist of members of the Royal Ca
madam Artillery, the Royal Dragons and
the Rural Canadian Infantry.
Conferences Useless.
Up to last night the company had each
day during the strike run its cars in al
dusk. Last night. however, General Man
ager Hawkins Of the Cataract Power Com
pany. notified Mayor Biggar that the com
pany intended to operate during the even.

filled with people and from the first 1t was
realized that the police were unable to cope
with the men, who were in an ugly mood.
Several conferences have been held be
tween the mayor. members Of the railway
board, representatives OF the company and

Operators Of the Postal Telegraph Com

derstood that a conference was held last
night In New York between Vice President
and General Manager w. H. Baker of the

SIX FALL VICTIMS OF @:-. :.
IL THE BANDIT RAISULI

Tangier,- Jan. 2e.-The Aniera tribe
sent three notables to Fee to offer pres
ents to the sultan. After leaving Fee
bodies have just been found in the ter
ritory Of the bandit Raisuli. The An
jeras accuse Raisuli Of assassinating the
notables in order to obtain the letters
which they were carrying. Representa-
t1ves Of the tribe yesterday came to
Tangier to demand justice from the
representative Of the sultan, but as
he is incapable Of giving them salts
faction the tribesmen are likely immedi-
ately to attack Raisuli, who is strongly
ensconced in fortress at Zinai.
1t has been learned that Raisuli has
procured the assassination Of the com
mander Of the district of. ,Oudjda, his
two sons and his son-in-law. The sup
posed cause of this new crime is re-
venge for the complaints against
Raisuli made by some of his victims,
the proofs of which the bandit found
in letters taken from the murdered
Anieras :. .
