Word earae to the mob that had leathered
there that, with the aid ot the cavalrr and

The mob needed not machinery, nor tool,
nor battering rams for It purpoa. Its lead
er possessed a strength born oMronxr. There
wa a rush for .the frelsht car, and In tho
twinkling ot an er two of them had been
turned completely orer. trucks upward, and
tfoetuallr blocking tb track over which the
approaching oattle trala was making Its war.
The train wa not In sight and so the mob
retraced It stsos eastward to the tracka ot
the Iteck Island aad Lake Bhore. Here It over
turned rare by the wholesale. Two were
jlaed across the crossing of the Belt Line In
ordr to-rivet the' obstruction to the cattle
i train If the blockade further west should be
H. raised. Then other care were turned over on
fc tho Like Shore and Book Island tracks at the
1 rate of two to a block for nearly a mile south-
F ward. The mob hooted and yelled and cheer-
It xl the erash made by each car as It turned a
'fc somersault.

I thastrlnc of freight ears was fired. A fire
I alarm was turned In, however, by a tradesman
' on (he corner. an on the arrival of the depart,
ment the flames war soon extinguished.
Furl wits added to the striken' fury about 2

Half n. block ahsad two empty freight car
V were lying across the track. The passengsr
of the train In th rear were advised ot the
et'tuatlon. and with one accord they decided
to disembark there and trust to the cable rsrs
o reach tblnlttlnt ions.
Matntlm tb regular troops, comprising
Companies O and D of the Thirteenth In.
fantry, under the respective command of
Capts. Conrad nod Cornish, had left tho first
tra'n and were drawn up on either side of the
ears. The mob, whloh br this time bad gone
outside of the fences, crested the troops with
a st"tld silence.
Telegrams were sent to the yards for a
L wrecking crew, but the reply came quickly
L back that not a man eou'd be bad. and so the

It was hard work, especially fr men not ac
customed to laborious undertakings, and It
did not improve their temper to have the on
looking molt hoot and jeer whenever they
made an effort that failed.

there for a few minutes, and then, with the re-
mirk that It was like climbing up a tree and
EM down acaln. ordsrod a march bark to the train.

When th obstruction at Thlrtyftfth street
had been removed tho trains went on to
Twenty.nlnth atreet, where the mob had sue
ceeded In throwing two extra heavy car.
The volunteer again went to work with a
will, but It wa slow and difficult work, and
over an hour slspeed lietor the signal could
ngatn be given for the engineer ot the forward
train to tteam ahead.
Between there and Twelfth street these ex
perlonees were repeated In everr block, and
the train flaally reaehed the Van Buren
strest depot at 0 o'clock. It had taken fifteen
hour for a trip usually made In one.
VIOJJMCX SKOUK AT "THE STOCK YAMM.
It was at 10 o'clock when th Michigan Cen
tral Company first attempted to rnn the live
stock train ot ssvsntecn cars out ot the stock
yards. J. O. Iitlsy. superintendent ot the'
yards, acted as engineer. Trainmaster Wright
did the switching.
Nearly 0,000 men and boy surrounded
th train, uncoupled It In three places, and
bearded th engine. A squsd ot forty police
offlcera were sent over to the railroad tracks
In patrol wagon, and aueoscded In clearing
the engine, and a call wa sent to Dexter Park
for th United State troops.
Capt. Hart, with two companies numbrr
Ing about eighty men, responded, and the
soldiers took up positions on each aide ot tho
train. Th mob inrroundod the nglne, nnd
the troop were cent forward to guard the
engineer. While the soldier were In front of
th train, strikers uncoupled the train In halt
a dozen places and hooted and jeerod.
At 11 o'clock th train was on a side track
and a mob ot nearly 10,000 persona was In the
yarda and on bridge trying to prorcntthe
train from going out
A call wa lent to the military camp for more
troops and was responded to by Troop B and
B of th Beventh Cavalrr and Light Battery O
nt the First Artlllary with three guns.
The cavalry waa atatloned at the main en
trance to the stock yards, and quickly moved
the mob baek off the railroad ttaoks. The In
fantry took up a position at the southern end
t the yarda, to prevent th crowds from gath
ering on the tracka at that end. The Galling
gun were placed In position between Boot
and Forty-second streets, and commanded a
clear space on the railroad tracks fur three
blocks.
The Michigan Central train of empty car
wa brought up alongside th stock yarda to
load with rattle, but the etnp'oyess ot tho
yards Immediately quit work. Officials otthe
road took th places ot the strikers and made
slow progress In loading the car.
At 11 :30 the train was still standing on the
aide track with the entire United btatss forces
In the field. At 11:40 th Michigan Central
started the train under escort of United States
troops.
When th striker saw the train moving they
rushed up the track ahead ot the troop
toward Haletasd street and overturned three
box car on th main llnj completely blocking
th road. Officials ot the stock yards went to
work clearing the obstruotlon from the traoks.
Ordsra were given br the commanding
officer of the regulars to Ore upon any person
osught uncoupling or Interfering with the
car. f

wa again started for the main line. Cavalry
troop K and Bled the way along the tracks,
clearing off the mob, and the Infantry men
were strung out In Indian file alongside entire
length of the train.
The train passed from Fortieth street amid
hoota and curses from the mob of men and
womon who gathered on the street corners.
When the train reached the main lino the
troops returned to the yards and bsgan work
preparatory to taking out Kelson Morris &
Co.' train of dressed beef.
TBAINmSTEn WnlUlIT PKATEX.
The Michigan Central train was again
stalled on Fortieth street, near Wallace,
btrlkers blocked the tracks br overturning
two freight cars and spiking switches. When
Trainmaster Wright attompted to throw a
switch he was set upon by the mob and se
verely beaten.
The troope chnrged the crowd with bar
onet, and several persons wore reported as
badlr Injured,
At 1:30 P. M. the train was still on Fortieth
street, and the stock rards officials were trying
to get men to clear the obstruction.
After successfully stalling the Michigan
Central freight train on Fortieth street, the
strikers went to the Pittsburgh and Fort
Warns tracks at Fortieth street, where they
held up the train, from which all the passen
gers had to disembark.
Th mob then dragged theenglneerandflre
man from the cab. They then broke all the
glass in the cab and derailed the engine.
The mob ran upto Fortieth and Clark streets
and set Ore to the Lake Shore signal house.
All this time the United States troops were up
at llolstoad atreet guarding t e Michigan
Central train.
The result of to-dsy's movements at the
stock yards Is a rractlcal acknowledgment by
the United Stales troops here that they are
ut'erlr unable to cope with the mob that now
holds complete sway In the district.
Tralna hare been stopped, englneors and
firemen dragged from their englnex. cars over
turned from the tracks, swltchrs thrown, mid
tho law booted stand openly set nt naught,
lavon mautiw, law.
Arson was added to anarchy, and It waa
proved roncluaUelr that the police and tho
soldiers were as helpless to preserve the peace
as a regiment ot two-year-old children.
Marshal Arnold's chlrf deputy, J. C. Don.
nelly. In an Interview with n reporter ot
the United Press, declared that nothing short
of planing Chicago under martial law would
end ths trouble at the stock yards, nnd Cnpt.
Hatz. commanding comianles ) and D of the
Fifteenth lleglment. Unl'ed States regulars,
colnrldes In this opinion
To these opinions are added that of Lieut
I'ltzpatrlck, who linsLecn forsmott In the
work of police protection.
"Nine mllea of soldiers strung out along the
traoke are needed to let trains moe from the
stockyards," he salJ to-dar, "No ordinary
forco can handle theso men."
Jt Is not because the mob could defeat the
troops In a pitched battle that the
officers have arrived at this decision,
but because they cannot watcn tho strikers
closelr saough to keep them from throwing
w.trhes. overturning cars, destroying rail,
road property, and uncoupling train. As fast
as one obstruction 1 removed the strikers
make another one, and so well organized end
alert r they thst It is almost Impossible to
catch them In the act
Nearly flfir freight ears lie upturned on the
various tracks running to th city. The Lake
Bhore belt traeks are comrUtelr obstructed,
all suburbsa trafflo on tbls line being thus
stopped
It would be next to Impossible to get a
train out ot the stock yards to-night.
At 8:30 tbls mornlcg tbe nyde Park police
got out a Michigan Central trala they had
been guarding all night. J. C llellly, master
mechanlo of tbe work.,was at the throttle, and
Buperlateadent Ciubb did the switching.
The trouble began at once. Without the
assistance of the troops, however. Lieut. Flit.
Patrick aad 100 policemen succeeded In getting
tbe train to 'be Baltimore and Ohio shut la

for New York wa loaded aad tho Journey out

In ten minutes from the time th trala
started It was surrounded br an angrr mob ot
men. who effectually Impeded It progress,
swinging clubs at every step.
TfiOOrn TltRCATCNMI TO SHOOT.
The troops were sent for, and soon flighty
cavalrymen and two companies ot Infantry
were on the scene.
The cavalry preceded the train, and the
troope mounted on top ot It and threatened
Instant death to the first man who unooupled
a car. Nobody accepted the challenge, and
the train got safely to Fortieth atreet and
Wentworth avenue, where It remained.
The track In front had been blocked
by three freight cars and the troops wero
In a quandary. Altar three hour ot Inac
tion, It wa decMsd It would be unwise
to ssnd for a wrecking train, a there
would not b enough troop to protect both It
nd th lire stock train.
"' At 4:30 o'clock the attempt to move further
waa abandoned, tho train was switched
back to the stock yards, and the cat
tle put back In their stalls amid the wild
est enthusiasm on the part of the atrlkers, who
felt that they had won a decided victory. It
was practically an admission ot defeat on the
part of the authorities.
At 12:;0 a Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne, and Chi

city wss stopped br the mob within a hun
dred yards of the troope who were guard

to be dragged from their engine and borne
awny on the shoulder of th crowd.
The rsssengers were Informed with many
choice oatha that they were fools to ride on
trains in such tlmss as these, and that the
walking to town was good.
A train load of freight cars wns detained at
Thlrtr-nlnth alrset. twelve of them turned
over on the tracks, one of them set on fire, and
an attempt mad to push over the tower at
tlrts point.
No effort was made to move the Nelson Mor
ris meat train, containing $70,000 wotth of
dressed beef for the East

erowd. many of the latter carrying tables In
their arms.
Beveral fire alarm were turned in after G
'o'clock from place along the Lake Shore,

1AUS1ANY MRU WAST CHOKKIL
Trying to Mnh- Itlra lender Again Acting
Hveretnry Henlt Wlke Wouldn't let Dr.
Jeaklna Take. Him Of the Majestic.
Mr. Croker must have known alter the ova
Hon which greeted hit arrival In Tammany
Halt on Wednesday morning, that the mem
bers of the Tammany organization are loath
to believe that he has permanently retired
from politics. Never, even In the heat ot a
campaign or after a well-earned vletory, was
he o enthusiastically cheered, and It will be
difficult to oonvlnce ovsrybody In Tammany
Halt or a majont rot the brnvos that that out.
burst wss merely n "glad to eo you." They
believe It to be a welcom to a trusted leader,
who will lead them to still o'.her vlc'orlesat
tho polls.
There Is no doubt that Mr. Croker Is In ab
solute earnest when lie ears that ho has retired
for good from the fiold ot politics. Thore Is
a'so not ths slightest doubt that there It a
strong effort on Iho pnrt of nearly svsry one
In the orgnnlratlon to fore Mr. Croker back
Into the leadership.
The fact that Mr. Croker and Commodore
Gerry wero vorr lutlrante on their journey
home on tho Majestic has revived the rumor
that an endeavor Is bstng made on tho part ot
Tammany to get Mr. Gerry to run as Its can
ill'Jato for Major next fall. It can be atated
though, with a degree of certainty which Is al
most absolute, that Mr. Gerry will not consent
to become a candidate. One point which was
particularly urged In his fuvor Is that his nom
ination would disarm the A. P. A which Is ex
pected to cut somethlngof a fgure In the local
campaign.
Local political leaders do not like to be con
fronted by these questions of rollglous preju
dice, hut thor realize that such points will
have to bo met In thU year's campaign, and
they are considering how the Influence ot re
llglous prejudices ran be minimized.
Commissioner Daly said esterday that Mr.
Croker will not return to the city from Bleb,
field Springs for n west:, but some folk be
llfve he will be at Sheeptlirad Bar to-morrow
to se Dobbins run for t'e lleallzatlon Btakes.

lseed snub to Itlohard Croker bv Treasury
officials which puts the action of the ex-Tarn-many
chieftain In declining to leave the Ma
jestlo br a special tug In a different light from
thntln wnich the Incident wan presented by
somo ot tbe New York newspaper.
Dr. Jenkins. Health Officer of the Port as Is
well known. Is a brother-in-law of Mr. Croker.
He telegraphed. It Is stated, for permission for
Mr. Croker to leave tho Majestic st Quaran
tine, nnd to board a tug. so as togsttothe
cltr In ndvance of his vessel. No reply was
sent to the first telegram, and a second wa
sent by Dr. Jenkins, asking for a replr to his
first despatch. After a half day's dslay a
replr came, elgntd by Acting Secretary Scott
Wlke refusing permission to Mr. Croker to
leave the vessel until she reached the wharf.
Thlsnccounted for his dslay In naohlngtho
Tammnny Hall meeting until It wa well
under way.
It is not unusual for such permit to be
granted. Mr. Depew received the courtesy
recently, snd It Is always accorded In tbe ease
of representatives of foreign Governments
and United States Government officials, who
desire It. when returning from nbroad. Nev
ertheless the ground of the refusal of Dr. Jen
klns's request It Is said, was that Mr. Wlke
considered It unusual.

Gusoow. JulyD. The regatta of the MudV
hook Yacht Club on the Clyde to-day was mosp
eventful. When the start was made, the) j
Satanita. In maneuvering to cross th line ,
collldod with Lord Dunraven's Valkyrto. strlk ;
Ing hor on the port side and nearly outtlng h ,l
In two. In three minute th Valkyrie went t f
the bottJtn In fourteen fathom of water. ,
Thsro were no lives lost. In tho fifty-mile raoe) V,
for tha Mulr Memorial Cup. tho Trlnce of .i '
Walos's Britannia defeated the Americans v;
yacht Vigilant by 35 aeconds In heavy weather.
When the start was made the Britannia waat f
th first to cross th starting line, the Vigilant
following a minute later. The Valkyrie snd, j
Hatanlta were mennwhllo endoavarlng to get
Into position, and In the oourse of their man-' ';
tcuvres attempted to put about In doing o
the Satanlta's bow struck the Valkyrie on ths)
port side, abaft the rigging.
The Valkyrie Immediately began to AIL anfl
In five mlnutos after she was struck sank , ,
The Satanlta's bows were badly Move, and It)
Is not regsrded as probable that she will b
able to take part In a raeo for a month to coma.
As soon as th boats came Into collision f
numbsr of vessels near by hurried to th as i
slstance of tho crew ot the Valkyrie. Every
one was saved. Lord Dunraven and ono or
two ot tho Valkyrie's crow wero rescued by th I
steam yacht Hebe, and tho steam yacht Van j
duaraa'iached linos tn tho sinking yacht anut
saved the rost of her crew.
It was found that only ono of the ere?
was Injurod. The unfortunate man was 4 ,
sonmanof tho name of Brown, on of whose;
logs was broken. Brown Was one of tbe crotsj
ot tho Valkyrie when that vossel was contest? ,
lnc for tha America's Cup In the United States.
The crew lost everything thor had except)
what ther wore. The collision was duo to tha
Batanlta being jammed by a number ot steamt --
yachts at the starting point, leaving hef
cramped for room. Vfl
In an Interview at Hunter's Quay Mr. A Dt, 'M
Clarke, tbo owner ot the Hatanlta, who was) it
ateerlng that boat when the aoeldont occurred
said: 11
"The collision look plarothrse minutes bay 'II
for th darting gun wa ft rod. Wa were) ,11
manoeuvring for a position. I saw that a col ' U,
llslon was becoming inevitable, and shouted to' t
Capt. Drnpsr to abandon alt rules and avert aj jj, ,
mash. If possible. " '
"The Satanita was running with her rails lop f.
the water at about twelve knot'. I tried to !
luff, aa tbe Valkyrie was keeping right on, v'
but a small rowboat cot In the way and pra-s,
vented my doing so, i ,
" As It was ths malnsheel of the Satanita al
most swamped the rowboat The Valkyr! Jj j
wa struck hard abaft th mainmast and hat ' j
rigging showered down upon her deck. Be '
foro we cleared her th Yalkrrlo'a topmast) (
came down. After we got away from her tho j
Valkyrie ran her bow Into tbe steam yacht )
Vanduara. It Is ono of tbo saddest tneldont 1
In my life, but nobody aboard either boat wan) -. j
to blame." ,
Capt. Cranfield says the Valkyrie Is damagecj ,
beyond repair. Belore she went down shs ,
reared on her head, and as she sank her deckj j
burst with a report which sounded like thun j
der. The Batanlta Is not mating any water, ;
but her forward plat Is badly stove. , i
Owing to th suddenness of the accident try- ,' , '
the Valkyrie, neither Lord Dunraven nor any r. I
ot his friends is abls to tell how it occurred, j4
Tho Satanita cut through the Valkyrie to the) j',
cabin, which filled long before tho yacht wont) , ,
down. Th sunken raoht now lies In fourteen j
fathoms of water on a fishing bank. Tho gaff -j j
ot her mainsail Is visible. A buoy Is bslnsfi ' ;
anohored at the spot to mark hsr position. ' D
Yachtsmen and spectators concur that ther I
collision wss solely due to a small boat cutting? 1 t
In tho way ot tbe batanlta. and that there wast 1
altogether too great a number ot atoaraers aui !
and other craft on the water. Capt. Cranfield, jj
of the Valkyrie, persists that the Batanlta wn )
on the wrong tack. He says that ths loss or j j
personal effects to himself and the cron -j
amounts to about 700. Lord Dunraven nar ( j
rowly escaped being struck brtbefatanlta'ar vj
bowsprit at th time ot the collision. HI & !
brothor-ln-law, Mr. Lanrldge, who wa aboarvL flj
th Vnlkyrle, wss rescued br the Vanduara! '
The latter loat ten Net ot her rails, and bsfi Q
launch was smashed to pieces. j
George I. Watson, the designer of theVaW iS !
kyrlo. w s on board theyaclu when she was) J
struck. Speaking ot th accident be said let ,
an Interview to-day: ' 3'
" I was standing beside Lord Dunraven. wh ,) i
wis steering Valkyrie. At gunfire Valkyrl
was reaching down on tha starboad tack. In j
or or to tike tha line. Satanita. which had ;
cumo up on the port tack, was too soon, and j I
was obllgod to hold on be'ore putting about j ,
lor the start. In lulling to clear a small boat d
which w. In her way, Satanita ran Into u. ;j
striking Valkyrie amidships, and cutting lnt J
her about six fesl. A
"Tho two yachts were locked together for e
short while. Batanlta'a bowsprit and topmast J '
werecarrlelaway a'mott tmmodlatel? on th
yachts separating Valkyrie then began to .

Krrie nt the time ot ihe accident Ther wer M

boats put oft from the other yachts In th iM
harbor, and took oft Lord and Lady Lsnoox, iMt
Iird Hunraveu, and myself before the Vnl. l
kyrle disappeared from view, which sho did la H
about three minutes after the colllstou.' jl
Mr. Watson's version ot the rescue of Lord H
Dunraven differs from other accounts, accord jH
Ing to which he was taken on board tho Hebe. H
00 quluklr did ! accident happen that no H
one soeras to be perfectly clear as to what H
