llawood. . *, .
Cleveland, O., July 27.—That 1h«
presence of the strong force of militia
low doing service in this city has ul
rtnd.v had a most salutary effect on
the lawless element is evidenced by the
fact that obstructions placed upon tha
tracks of the Miff Consolidated street
car lines, Tuesday night, were found
to be fewer than at any time since the
present strike was inaugurated.
Car* on Four Line* Hnnnlna.
Ca^s on four of the most important
linis of the 1 tig Consolidated systenj
w<*re operated throughout the night,
and morning found practically the full
quote of cars running on all lines)
except the Abbey, L'nion und Clarl;
avenue. It was, however, a notable
fact that most of the cars were either
empty or carried only a very few pas
sengers. even during the early hours
of the day when traffic is usually the
heaviest. Either through fear of vio
lence or out of sympathy for the strik
ers, a very large proportion of the peo
ple declined, under present conditions,
to ride on the Big Consolidated lines,
anil in most enses walked many blocks
in order to reach the cars of the Little
Consolidated company, which is not
involved in the strike.
Thirteen Hundred Troope Present.
About thirteen hundred troops are
lie* acting in co-operation with the
regular police force of the city, under
direction of the mayor nnd in com
mune! of the head of the military pow
ers of the state.
This force will probably lie further
augmetned by the arrival of several ad
ditional companies of soldiers from
outside points. The majority of sol
diers now on duty served throughout
the Spanish-American war. With such
a force at his command. Mayor Farley
believes that he is in a position to
promptly suppress any further rioting.
President Everett’s Preposition.
iTesideut Everett of the Big Consoli
dated has announced that he will take
back 150 of the old men, provided they
will apply individually. He adds that
pcssibly this number may be increased
as vacancies occur, as a result of the
“weeding out” process to take place
among the new men employed since
the strike began.
The strike lenders, still insist that
every man must be taken back, nnd,
nbovc all, that the union must be rec
ognized by the company.
Riot mt Collin wood.
A riot occurred at Collinwood. a sub
urban town, late Tuesday night, at
the crossing of the Big Consolidated
and Shore electric lines. A spike
placed between the ends of two rails
caused a car to jump the track and
block both lines. A mob of 400 per
sons quickly gathered and pelted the
non-union crew with all sorts of mis
siles. A second cur came up, and the
non-union men on it received similar
treatment. Eventually the crews of
both cars were chased away.
A call for assistance was responded
to by Capt. Kaddur, of the naval re
serves, with 15 men. Capt. Radder ad
dtessed the crowd nnd said that he
Woelu order a cliuge unless it imme
finitely dispersed. The mob answered
with a shower of stones and bricks,
B number of persons, including sev
eral members of the reserves beThg
struck and slightly injured. A charge
with fixed bayonets was then ordered,
and the crowd quickly scattered in all
directions. It is stated that a meeting
of the motoruien and conductors em
ployed by the Little (. onsolidnted lines,
of which company Senator M. A. lian
na is president, will he held for the
purpose of discussing the strike on the
Big Consolidated lines. It is not be
lieved. however, that these men con
template a strike, as they have hereto
fore announced that they had no griev
ance.

ABDUCTED BY MASKED MEN

the missing engineer.
When the 20 masked men reached

at d other employes of the mine back.
“We don’t want you,” said one of the
lenders. "Its Doyle we are after. We'll
tix him.” The men employed at the

ure what was the cause of the trouble.
I he Ciarfield-Grou.se mine is worked

Unexpected Opposition Developing
Toward the Reciprocity Treaty
With the United States
FRANCE REALLY DROVE A HARD BAR8AIN.
She Serin*. However, 1-Ike Some of
the Heat, If She Citnnnt linve
Kvrrythlnc Her Own Wuy She
Doesn’t Want to IMnv—Influential
Oppualt Ion.
Washington. July 27.—A good deal
of surprise has been caused in official
circles here by the unexpected opposi
tion developing in France to the rati
fication of the reciprocity treaty just
negotiated by Mr. Kasson and M. ('am
Inin. It is not deemed expeient now to
make public the details of the conven
tion, but it can be stated authorita
tively that in the opinion of our own
officials the French have driven a hard
bargain in making the treaty. They
have, it is said, secured more advan
tages than they had any just reason
to expect at the beginning of the ne
gotiations. and that success was ul
timately obtained is owing to the fact
that the negotiators felt bound to ob
serve the behest of the president and
make a treaty that the French people
and make a treaty it all hazards.
It is suspected here that the French
people are not aware of the actual
Talue of the concessions they haTe ob
tained, and there is reason to believe
that when the champagne makers
lenrn the amount of benefit they are
to receive the opposition to the con
summation of the treaty will be at
once transferred from France to the
United States.
A Misleading Statement.
The statement made by M. Delcaase,
French minister for foreign uffairs,
that the treaty contained the favored
nation clause, is said to be misleading
to the public, for what it does contain
in that direction is a special provision
in the case of certain lines of articles
ot import, that if the rate of duty is
reduced below the figures stated to
any other nation, then France shall
have the same rate. But, this provi
sion is not general, and applies, as
stated, only to certain specified arti
cles. It is believed that under this
head, however, the French champagne
makers will profit, for, while the
treaty itself does not give them the
rate desired, yet they probably may
profit by the low rate just given to the
Portuguese makers of sparkling wine.
Influential Opposition.
It is appreciated here that the oppo
sition in Paris comes from very in
fluential quarters. The Kepublique
Francaise, which makes a bitter attack
on the treaty, is directed by M. Meline,
former premier, and one of the most
capable leaders in French politics. Iu
particular he represents the peasantry
and the gentleman farmer class, and
his leadedrship of an opposition indi
cates that the treaty will have a diffi
cult course before it.
SCORE OF GUESTS POISONED
Mysterious Case of Poisoning In
London Attributed to Ameri
can Canned Goods.
London, July 27.—Much excitement
tas been caused here by the mysteri
ous poisoning of a score of guests of
the Inns of Court hotel, which, it is
alleged, was due to American canned
fruit. A second victim, Mr. F. W.
Bartlett, of Philadelphia, died during
the night. The fruit was eaten a
week ago and all who partook of it
were made ill, one of the number dy
ing on July 21. the medical certificate
arsigning gastro enteritis as the cause
of death.
An inquest will be held in the case
of Mr. Bartlett.
The Australian cricketers who have
been residing at the hotel, were happi
ly als-ent when the fruit was served.
MURDERED IN CHINATOWN.
Supposed Wife of Lem Sung, a I.u n n
dryumn, Brutally Murdered
In Sun Francisco.
Kan Francisco, July 27.—Chinatown
lias had another murder. The sup
posed wife of Lem Hang, a Chinese
laundryman, was brutally murdered in
a room occupied by the pair in Stock
ton street. The mutilated body was
found by the police when they broke
in the door, hacked almost to pieces,
lying in a pool of blood and presenting
a most ghastly sight. Who killed the
woman can only lie conjectured from
circumstances surrounding the mys
terious murder, and suspicion points
strongly toward Lem Hang, who has
not yet been found.

000 people gathered here from all por.

Withers and others technically in
formed upon the subjects of delibera
tion made speeches.
Trustee Alexander J. .Jones.who was
to represent the sanitary district of
Chicago, was unable to be present,
but submitted a letter containing a
proposition, upon which he believes
unity of action between all interests
affected may be attained. He snid:
“In my opinion, a concerted move
should be made by the people of the
Illinois valley, the sanitary district,
ond the city of Chicago for the removal
of all government dams, simultaneous
with the work of the permanent im
provement of the Illinois river. Maj.
Marshall, of the I’nited States engi
neering department, has already, un
ofiicially, stated that lie shall recom
mend the removal of the crests of the
government dams, in order to aceom
inodc.tr the increased How, which will
bo occasioned by the drainagv. canal.
Now, in rov opinion, we should bring
all our interests from Lake Michigan
to the Mississippi and, if possible to
New Orleans, into one concerted de
mand upon congress, for appropria
tions requisite to carry out the deep
wr. tec way project, which had its incep
tion in the drainage canal legislation."
AN ATTEMPTED KIDNAPING.

from the residence of her parents. She
wus captured by a policeman after a
struggle. She is now a prisoner at
the Stanton Avenue setation, held on
a charge of kidnaping.
Her attempt with Hilda Grace Fow
ler was the fourth she is alleged to
have made in an hour. The others
were the following boys:
Louis Hoggett, 12 years old. Albert
Hoggett, nine year* old. and Harold
Drddj, eight years old. With offers of
candies and money, it is charged, she
tried to entice the boys from their
hemes. When she had failed with
them she succeeded with the little
Fow !er girl. The child left her pla.y
nuites and readily went with the col
ored womun.
At the station the woman declared
she had no intention of kidnaping the
gill. She also denied having attempt
ed to entice the boys away, but the
children identified her positively as did
several men who saw her talking to
them.
Tht boys said that the woman had
offered to take them to theaters and
buy them sweets if they would go with
her.
OHIO’S FOUR PRISOITdEMONS.
They Have Beep Placed In a Steel

or stabbed a guard or two since his in
carceration. They are all life men,
and though subjected to the severest
punishment absolutely refuse to work.
Though the warden does not adm!t
it, it is believed the men will sooner
or later kill each other. Marlatt
fought like a maniac against being put

to control him.

enec Burned In the Mer
sey at Liverpool.
Liverpool, July. 27.—The Roman
Catholic reformatory ship Clarence
was destroyed by fire. It was but a
few moments after the tire was dis
covered until the great three-decker
was wrapped in flames. Intense excite
ment prevailed until it became known
tljat the hundreds of lads and officers
or, board the Clarence had l>een saved
by the ferry boats Mersey and Firefly,
which quickly made fast to the burn
ing vessel and began pumping water
on the flames. The boys on liourd the
Clarence worked with the utmost dis
cipline until they were forced to leave
tie ship with the officers. The cap
tain's family and Bishop Whiteside,
who spent the night on lsiard the
Clarence, lost their personal effects,
i be crew of the Mersey had a narrow
escape, having barely time to regain
their own craft, which had the utmost
difficulty in getting clear of the burn
ing vessel when the bulwarks of the
Mersey were beginning to take fire.
Three hours after the fire was discov
ered the Clarence’s back broke, and
she settled slowly. This war the sec
ond Catholic reformatory ship of the
same name that has been burned on

fired by boys on board.
