Chicago, .Tuno 3, Riots bouvcen tho striklnj; teamsters anil non-union drivers and police aro In progress at many down town points. Many por sons have been Injured and a number of arrosts made. Two hundred police are trying to handlo the mobs with little success. Tho progress of wagons under the escort of fifty pollco down town with non-union drivers was constantly hampered by the mob. In the heart of tho business center detachments of tho mob which now nurabored ten thousand charged tho wagons. Tho police guard, which had been In creased, with swinging clubs cloared tho way to tho Pair department store whoro tho moat was unloaded. Mcan whllo tho llro alarm was turned In and tho clanging engines were used to dls porso tho crowds. Isaac Bcaham was pnshed Into a collarway, and his neck was broken. Drivers of all depart ment stores struck today. Tin: tkouiili: yi:sti:rday. Chicago, Juno 2 Mot and blood shed marked tho progress of tho teamsters' striko today. Thoro were numerous lights between tho pollco and tho strikers and their svmna- thlzct-s. Tho most serious troublo of the day occurred in Crosby street, In tho dis trict which is known in pollco circles aB "Llttlo Hell." A detachment of policemen under tho command of Lieutenant Collins, was escorting a number of wagons loaded with meat to distributing stations down town. A largo crowd followed tho wagons, shouting and jeering, and now and then sending a stone ovor tho hoads of tho ofllcors in the direction of tho men on the mout wagons. Tho lino of wagons escorted by the police was frequently stopped by oth er teamsters, who would manage to pull across the street just In tho prop er place to prevent the meat wagons from making any progress , The po llco would order the man away and In a few minutes tho performance would bo repeated, much to tho delight of the immeuso crowd ithat was following. Finally, ono teamster refused to pull his team out of tho way of tho meat wagons, and the pollco placed him undor arrest. Then the fight com menced. In an instant a shower of stones, mud and htlcks fell around r.ud upon the olllcurs, bru'.si g them badly, Lieutenant Collins ordered the march of the meat wagons to bo stopped, and at onco charged tho crowd. A large number of women, who came up to the aid of tho strikers, wero tho fiercest fightois of the lot. Ono officer was knockod down with a brick, and his companions then drew their olubs and made war with such energy that in a few minutes tho street was filled with men with bleeding heads. Tho mob was led by a large man who came from tho gas house near Crosby streot and who continually called to his followers to "kill the coppers first and hang tho scabs after ward." Finally a big policeman got to the man from tho gas house, and when It was over tho leader was car ried olT by his friends, his head and face covered with blood. Tho crowd increased so rapidly that Lloutenan Collins soon saw that his men would be overpowered unless he took vigor ous action at once. lie ordered the men to fall back slowly toward the wagons, and tho crowd, seeing in this action, a tokon of victory, prcssod in with shouts and tho volleys of stones came moro thickly. The pollco fell back until they had formed a compact mass close to the wagons and then, at Collins' order, they drew their rovolversand charged tho crowd once uioro. This time the fight was moro despcrato than before and it was ovor in much less time. The pollco struck dowti numbers of men and used their clubs and rovolver butts and In three minutes tho crowd was broken and in full llight. Form ing his men around tho wagons once more, Collins started on his line of inarch, As soon as tho police started away, tho mob formed ngaln, and, al though at a respectful dlstanco, they kept after the wagons until thoy had reached tho barns at llalstcad and Division streets. By tho time tho barns wero reached, tho angor of tho crowd had grown to fever heat. An attempt was made to cross Halsted street, but in less than a minute a blockade had been formed which it took two hours to release. Tho troublo at this point began when a Ilalsted street car stopped directly on tho crossing. Tho car was filled with passengers on their way home from work; It was a peculiar coinci dence that.'just as tho packing house wagons approached tho crossing, tho current was cut off , It was said that the trolley wire had been cut. Ilundreds of factory hands wero be Ing dismissed from tho neighboring shops. Scores of heavily loaded wagons drovo up, and in llvo minutes Halsted street was packed and jammed with teams and wagons for a dlstanco of four blocks. Tho crowd shouted and jeered at tho pollco when thoy attempted to Induce tho teamsters to movo on. Tho pollco attempted a iiinnlav of force, only to arouso the j &r 7? V" crowd agafnr '"attinos wero" thrown til tho-pollco and tho rioters were clubbed and dragged into tho patrol wagons. Finally, after pushing and fighting for a long time, tho pollco managed to get tho wagons to tho barns and tho doors wore closed. Tonight anothor sorlous fight took place at Twolfth and State streets. Chicago, Juno 4. Under a heavy police guard and surround ed by howling mobs tho packers today managed to deliver twelve wagon loads of meat with non-union inea. There were several clashes be tween the opposing forces. The pollco used clubs with considerable energy, carrying (off one Btrikor senseless. Nicholas Pauly, who hampered tho packers' caravan was severely beaten by the pollco. It is reported from tho stock yards that six negroes were bad ly Injured by strikers William Wright was probably fatally injured on Fifth Avenue by a brick, whllo two non-union drivers wero knocked oil their seats by missies.

LOOKED IN THE CRATER Prof. Heilprln made u Close Inspec tion of Mont Peleo Fort do France, Martinique, May 31 Prof. Angelo Hellprin, representing ho National Geographical society, with threo guides, ascended to tho top of tho crator on Mont Peleo's summit Saturday. Tho expedition left Fort do Franco last Thursday at noon. Friday was spent in studying the newly form ed craters on tho north flank of the mountain. Saturday morning Prof. Heilprln determined to attempt tho as cent to tho top ofitho crater. The vol cano was very active but, amid a thousand dangers, Prof. Heilprln reached the summit and looked down into the huge crater. He saw a huge cinder cono in the center of tho crater. Tho opening of tho crater itself is a crevice 500 feet long and 100 feet wide. While Prof. Heilprln was on tho sum mit of the volcano several violent ex plosions of steam and cinder laden vapor took place, and again and again his life was In danger. Ashes fell about him in such quantities at times as to completely obscure his vision. Ono explosion of mud covered the professor from head to foot. Ho learn- el,(as had been suspected, that 'there wero threo separate vents through which steam issued. Prof Ulellprln's journey down the side of'.h in mntain wiq fully as peril ous as the u scent. Muni 1'clee seemed to resent tho intrusion into Its pre cincts, und threw on' volumes of steam, ashes and boiling hot mud. Tho professor made the discovery thatithe crater at the head of tl e river Fallalse h synchronous eiuptluns with the crater at tho summit of tho volcano, and ejects precisely tho same matter at such times. Tho river Fall aise crater and tho crater at tho sum mit showed a new phenomenon. Mud was thrown up in high columns. Here tofore ttio mud has bubbled or boiled out and flowed downward in huge streams. In the course of one eruption of the river crater a mass of intensely hot mud was ejected. This flow reach ed tho ,-um distillery on tho Vievo plantation nnd extinguished all tho tires there. ENGLAND IS DISPLEASED Loudon Does not Like tho Hoer Peace Tonus London, Juno 2. Tho announcemen of peaco In South Africa was cele brated in London tonight with wild repetlon of the Mafeking celebration. Hundreds of thousands of people surged through tho streets of London, from Whitechapel to Buckingham palace, but never at any time did tho crowds equal thoso which created tho verb "to mafllck." Tonight there was a tremendous noise in tho streets, a pandemonium of horns and cheers, and the coarso jests of costers, but tho abandon which marked tho announce ment of the reliefs of Mafeking and Ladysmlth was lacking. A very serious undercurrent of dis content probably is responsible for tho fact thatJCLondon has not shown tho samo ovidenco of rejoicing as wore to be seen onlMafeklngnlght. In somo quarters tho comment on tho "peaco with honor," ending of tho war was that "Gteat Britain has tho peace and the Boers have all tho nonor." Several members of the house of commons declared freely tonight that peaco in South Africa might have been secured a year earlier and upon better terms had not tho British gov ernment been to obdurate.
