work business was at virtual standstill.
The mob this morning openly fired on the
troops. At l o'clock this afternoon the
rioting was still in progress. One of the
men wounded in yesterdays fighting be
tween Unionists and Nationalists died to-
day, bringing the number of deaths for
the present outbreak up to six.
Shops and schools were closed today
and many houses were barricaded be-
cause of the rioting. The streets were
deserted by all except those fighting
or protecting vantage points. The dock
workers struck, declaring they would
not handle freight until peace had been
restored.
The rioting, which started at 2
o'clock this morning, after the troops
had been withdrawn following yester-
day S battle, continued all day. Re
ports of additional casualties were re-
ceived but travel on the Streets was SO
dangerous that it was impossible to OBJ

Resolution Adopted by Unanimous Vote
at Annual Meeting Held in st. Paul
Apparently Feels Need of More
Commodious Quarters.

In the annual meeting of The Holstein-
Friesian Association of America, held
recently in st. Paul, Mimi, resolution
was adopted which, while it does not
mean necessarily that any change will
be made in the conduct of any of the

a resolution relative to a permanent

follows:

rectors are hereby instructed to in
vestigate the question as to the ad-
visibility of selecting a national
home for this association, either by
purchase, or by erection of a suit
able building, with power to act in
accordance with their Judgment;
the building to be of such a charac-
ter, and the location to be such, as
will in their opinion best suit the
needs of this association for the
years to come.
ms resolution was adopted Dy a
unanimous vote. The association evil
IDENTIFY feels the need of more eommo-
dious quarters, but whether the directors
would seek to secure them in Brattleboro
or elsewhere is uncertain.
The business of the secretary is con-
Quoted in building erected for the pur-
pose by A. B. Clapp near the junction of
Main and Canal streets, which the asso.
citation leased for term of years.
