 \ Philadelphia, June 3.-The subway
 and elevated employees of the Phila- tdelphfa Rapid Transit Company were called out at g o'clock this morning in
 the strike against the company and within ten minutes the tfe-up on the line from Fifth street to Sixty-ninfh street was complete. Special police men and detectives from city hall were immediately dispatched to every sub way and elevated station and after a Idelay of thirty minutes some of the trains were started with strike break CTS.
 Rtoting in Kensington was resumed again this morning and it is feared tthat the disorders will be even greater than those last night when the strike breakers attacked several cars. At the tAeague Island Navy Yard, twenty sail tors clashed with the police early this morning and several shots were fired. The bluejackets boarded a north bound car and had hardly been seated when one of the party called "Scab'' at the motorman.
 One of the two policemen on guard ion the car ordered them to keep quiet but the sailors renewed the jeering and laughed at the officers. The shoot ing followed an attempt by the officers to arrest one of the ringleaders. At Itracted by the shooting a. squad of marines came out from the yard and drove the sailors inside. With 1.5O0 strike-breakers in the city the com ipany is making every effort to-day to run at least 600 of it's surface cars. Several hundred special policemen, lhalf of them a motley crowd of neg lroes. are on duty about the city hall. Because he sat in his private office all tof last night and took absolutely no part in the effort of the police to stop rioting in that section of the city, Lieutenant John Syckes of the 30th n< <nkr r7nwr .-f1~ suspended by Director Clay, pending a trial before a police board of inquiry. IA crowd of disorderly persons kept the police busy in the lieutenant's district.
 Strike breakers were dragged from their places and beaten by the mobs. In the hospitals to-day upwards Of
 thirty riot victims lie on cots. The two most seriously injured are Police
 a concussion of the brain and William
 Talbot. whose head was bruised with a brick
 It was intimated this morning that be called out on a sympathetic strike this afternoon Concerning the allega-
 tions of brutality against the police and the swearing in of special police
 charge of the strike said this morning:
 There is no power stronger than the
 source from which it comes. Our reply to Director Clay's tactics Is oiIcCt dppSdl lO tue PuOllC 1neTe nave been eighteen public mass meetings"
 There were 20 riots in various parts of the city last night and 40 cars were more or less badly torn up. In some cases after the crews had been beaten and driven off the wrecked cars were burned on the tracks. fingered be- cause the transit company had at tempted to run cars manned with strike-breakers, a mob of 5000 persons hanged Mayor Reyburn in effigy from a trolley wire. Prompted by the riot ing of last night Director Clay will probably again order the saloons of the city closed tonight at o'clock.
 Declaring that they had been brought here under false representations, fifty imported strike breakers deserted at the barn in Frankfort to-day and gave themselves up at the strikers head quarters. They were put on trains and sent back to New York According to these men the detective agency which is providing the company with men had hired them with the under standing that their services were required to start operations on new road
