The Strike In Pensacola

Pensacola, Fla, April Is Militia
companies have been arriving here one
at a time since yesterday. Six are now
on the groun and The strike-bound street
car company has already begun a kind
of tentative operation of its lines. No
much will be doue, however, until more
militiamen reach the city or it becomes
evident that those already here are nu-
merous enough TO keep order
Mayor Goodman's order for the arrest
of every one except officers actually on
duty who veniured upon the streets after
10 O'Clock last night had the effect Of
checking riOtous demonstrations.
The non-uniouiss from New York,
considerably battered from their 6ghtd
with strike sympaihiz'rs late last week,
stick close to the car sheds except when
called on to take out cars, which are
operated under heavy military guards.
Fifteen were so seriously hurt as to be
unfit for work for some time.

ACCIDENT ON TROLLEY LINE.

Five persons were injured, one of them
perhaps fatally, and about score Of
others sustained minor hurts in head
on collision OF two heavy trolley cars Of
of the new Washington, BIl.imore and
Aunspolis Electric Railway about 1890
p. m. yesterday.
The collision occurred qlater Of q mile
south OF Brownsville station, seven miles
from Annapolis, and was between one OF
the heavy-spaed cars, filed with pas
singers from Baltimore and Washington
aud running on limited time from
Academy Junction to Annapolis, aud a
local accommodation car from Annapolis
for Academy Junction.
The accident was apparently due TO q
Misunderstanding Of orders, as the COM
panY just Effected new change OF its
schedule Saturday. The cars met head
on and that several persons we're not killed
outright is considered remarkable.

The Fire in Chelsea

Boston, April il.-Lack of material

city 81, 290 inhabitants, with large
majority of its churches and schools and
public building and its city hall, was q
blsckened, smoking mass Of wreckage
as the sun rose this morning.
IL is estimated that about half of the
financial loss, or So, 900, 900, is covered
by insurance. The feature of the dis
aster Is the pronptness With which The
big assurances agencies of Boston this
morning came forward with statements
that they we're ready to pay the losses
10 full.
Chelsea is q chartered city OF Msssa'

the naval appropriation bill was resumed
in the House on Saturday, Mr. Gregg,
of Texas, opposed great naval PRO-
gramme. He charged that President
Roosevelt had an unsettled naval policy,
and that he was trying to force it upon
Congress. If, Mr.. Gregg said, the plea
for four battleships WAS based on fear oil
q conflict with japan, the Presidents
course had been peculiar, because, he
said. the relations with Japan on De-
GENDER 3, 1906, we're more strained,
when he asked for one ship, than on
December 8, 1907, when he asked for
four. The best proof tina: this govern
ment did not anticipated war with Japan

waters. There are those in authority In
this country who are endeavoriug TO make

crafty their own selfish ends and ambi-
