POLICE KEPT BUSY
IN THE WINDY CITY
Strikers in Chicago Wear
Out Peace Guardians.
DELIVERY WAGONS ARSENALS
.Negroes Imported to Take Places
of Strikers are Murderously
Assaulted.
A Chicago special says: Driven by
'men covered with dost and blood,
many of them barely able from ex
haustion to hold the reins In their
bands, thirty six meat wagons entered
the main gate of the Union stock yards
Thursday night amid a shower of
atones, bricks, bottles and sticks. The
wagons, guarded by live police wag
ons, filled with bluecoats, and two om
nibuses crowded to the fullest capacity
with policemen, were on the return of
a delivery of supplies to down-town
provision bouses, after ono of the fierc
est days In the strike of tbe beet pack
ers’ teamsters. Many of the drivers,
who are officials at the packing houses,
were cut and bruised from head to
foot. Tbe police were In even worse
.condition.
At the very entrance of the stock
yards Wednesday night, after all seem
ing danger had passed, George June,
.On employe of the Anglo-American
Packing Company, was struck by a
.baseball bat and knocked from his
wagon seat. He was picked up In an
unconscious condition and It Is believ
ed he may die. Many others were
struck at the same time by a shower
of stones, but the police were too worn-
out to offer resistance.
More than a dozen battles were
fought during the day between the
rioters and the police and the hospit
als are overcrowded with the injured.
/Attack on Imported Negroes.
A pitched battle occurred between
a crowd of negroes Imported from St.
(Louis to take the place of the striking
Stockyard teamsters and the strikers
at Forty-fifth street and Center avenue
NEW AJ1BASSADORS.
Herbert 5ucceeds Panncefote and
Senor Ojeda Will Oct Bertli
of the Duke de Arcos.
Two Important changes in tbe diplo
matic representatives In Washington
were announced Thursday.
The Hon. Michael Herbert succeeds
the late I-ord Pauncefote as British
ambassador and Senor de Ojeda suc
ceeds the Duke dc Arcos as Spanish
minister.
Notice of Mr. Herbert’s appointment
simply confirmed tbe Judgment of offi
cials as to the succession and Is wel
comed by them. At present Mr. Her
bert Is flat secretary of the embassy
at Paris, but with the rank of minister,
plenipotentiary. In very few instances
does tbe British government employ
an official of Buch high rank in the of
fice of secretary of embassy.
The change in the Spanish legation
here caig^as a distinct surprise to all
but the intimate friends of the Duke.
d’Arcos. He came to the United States
as the first minister after the war and
naturally hU position was a very deli
cate one, requiring the exhibition of in
finite tact to avoid unpleasant inci
dents. He was very successful In his
mission, whl!e socially his relations
have been very pleasant.
it Is understood the change Is attri
butable entirely to the retiring minis
ter's deslro to secure the best possible
treatment for his impaired vision,
which has caused him much and grow
ing concern.
Therefore he has secured a transfer
to the Spanish legation at Brussels.
There he will be as near as practicable
to an eye specialist who has already
undertaken his treatment at Inconve
nient Intervals.
Senor de Ojeda, who succeeds the
Duke d’Arco, comes to Washington
with excellent credentials. He was sec
retary of the Spanish peace commis
sion at Paris and Is nt present minis
ter to Tangier.
INDIANA DKMOCKA'l'S MELT.
Committee Wrangled Over Bryan and
Kansas City Platform.
While the Indiana democratic state
convention, which was held at Indian
apolis Wednesday, was remarkable for
its lack of discord, candidates tor all

in the fight the negroes were badly

groes number about fifty.'
May Effect Compromise.
After fqur hours of consultation
early Thursday, In which the question
.of recognition of the nnlon was thor
oughly discussed, an agreement re
garding wages and hours was decided
on. Tho representatives of tho pack
ers conceded the demahds of the strik
ers on these two questions, but were
obdurate in their refusal to recognize
the strikers' union. It Is believed that
a compromise may ho struck on tbe
question of wages and hours.

' Disgraceful Sceue Funded in Chnrch
at Worcester, Mas*.
One of the most sensational scenes
ever witnessed in a church In Worces
ter, Mass., was enacted at St. John
Roman Catholic church .there Wednes-
> day when Mary, Ddnaher,' a teacher In
’the public schools of Worcester, was
married to Maurice Quinn, a dentist.
ot Brocton. As the wedding party en
tered the church ft was mot by hisses
from one thousand women, who had
apparently gathered tor that purpose.
A detail of police was present to pro
tect tbe brido and groom, but they
were entirely powerless to maintain
order. The women rushed by and
around them close to the wedding par
ty and gave vent to their feelings In no
uncertain manner. The demonstration
la the meeting ot the committee on
resolutions. A number of the friends
of William J. Bryan were very much
la earnest la favor of the Insertion In
the platform of a plank Indorsing him
and the Kansas City platform. The
majority of the committee was against
any such Indorsement, saying that It
considered It out of place at the pres
ent time to Inject Mr. Bryan's name
Into the state campaign. The fight
lasted well Into the night, and it was
nearly noon before the report of the
committee was ready for presentation
to tbe convention.
The Philippines plank also created
much discussion, the committee being
called upon to consider all sorts of
propositions In behalf of the Filipinos,
some of them being In favor of Imme
diate and complete Independence. It
was only after hours ot argument that
a plank was agreed upon.
The state ticked nominated la as
follows: Secretary of state, Albert
Schoonover,' of Attica; attorney gen
eral, W. E. Stillwell, of Princeton;
state auditor, James R. Riggs, ot Sul
livan; state treasurer, Jerome Horff,
of Peru. .
At the conclusion of the vote on
the Philippines bill Tuesday afternoon.
Senator Morgan was recognized tor a
formal mo.lon to take up the eanal
bill aa the unfinished business ot the
senate, and his motion was adopted
without dissent. At no previous time
has legislation on this line reached the
point of having passed one house of
congress and being formally .before
the other house.
While the Nicaragua bill Is the one-
immediately under consideration, n
strorig_effort will be made to secure
the passage of the Spooner Substitute'
which has the Indorsement of the mi-
ortty of tho canal committee ot
which Senator Morgan is chairman.
Senator Hanna Is the leading sponsor'
for this substitute, and It has some-
very strong and ardent advocates, but
it Is too early to predict what the vote-
will be.
Apparenly, a number of senators-
care very little as between the two-
routes, and the debate which Is to fol
low will determine their final action.
Senator Cullom, for instance, said-
he had been. inclined to vote for 1
the Nicaragua route, but the possibili
ties of volcanic disturbances in that
region made him dubious. And there
are others who take the Bame position.
Senator Morgan counts on fifty-five
votes for the Nicaragua route, but it
is apparent from the talk ot some ot
the men. he. counts upon that he has
over estimated his strength. The
Spooner proposition proposes to au
thorize- the president to purchase the
property ot the Panama company If a
good title can be obtained and If there
are n» diplomatic difficulties; It there
are such obstacles the secretary ot
war to begin construction by the Nica
ragua route after all necessary prelim-
Inarles have been arranged. The pres
ident, It is understood, Inclines to the
Panama route, but would prefer con
gress to decide the question of'route
rather than place the responsibility
upon his shoulders.

Striking Teamsters and Police of
Windy City Have Another
Lively Day.
Rioting broke out again In the
streets ot Chicago Tuesday as the re
sult ot the teamsters’ strike, an at
tempt to move 24 wagons under police
protection from the yards starting the
troubles. The rioting took place In

stores using meats from the big pack-
tag houses.
The wagons were being loaded when,
a crowd of spectators and strike sym
pathisers began booting and Interfer
ing with the non-union drivers.
The disturbance drew a mob 6t near*
ty 2,000 people. Tbe police tried to-
preserve order, but were not success
ful.
The two Irwin brothers, of tbe Arm
of Irwin Brothers, seized ax bandies,
and In company with the police,. beat
the crowd back.
Isaac Bean was thrown down a stair
way and had his back broken. A- pass
tag street car overturned a patrol wag
on on the' way to the riots and dumped!
the police Into the streets.
In other sections of the clt yattempts,
were made to move meat, but because-
ot the large gatherings ot people wag
ons were put back to warehouses and
unloaded. The ten big State street de
partment stores were seriously handi
capped by the arrike of T.200 drivers
and conductors ot delivery wagons,
