CHICAGO, June T2. So far us ui le "earned three men yieltleil up their lives as )he result of the riot on the dritiiuice e jal. The unknow n nuvn who fell in the ieat of the -conflict never to rise is yet uni dentified. Those who were killed out Tight or have since died are: Vukr.own aian, worked on drainage canal, forced to Join strikers; Gzeiroz Kisxku, new arrival In sympathy with strikers: Jaeoh Ast, killed outright. There are still ot hers said to be dead who are lielievcil to have fallen Into the canal, but thus far their Ixxties have not been found, although the cuual has been dragged. Think More Men Were Killed. Both the drainage men who firid on the strikers, ami the strikers themselves, say that two and possibl v t hree men fell into Hie canal during fusillade. The seriously injured are John Kliurer. a section liand on the Santa Fe, who was shot by mistake for a striker aud who will die: John Peter son, who was shot in the groin ami will also die, and John Fronozotruski. who will lose his left leg. A large force of the Sec ond and Third regiments. 1. X. (J., is now encamped along the line of the canal and will maintain order on Ixith siil.is. (invrmnr Altceld Hears Fvidence. Coventor Altgeld was on tlie ground as early as he could get there, lleprix-ecded to gather evidence from everybody he could get to talk, but he ltcgati with the strikers and their sympathizers, for one re;uson that thecontractors failed toresporid to his numinous to go to lament and testify. He also talked to the section men on the Santa Fe who saw the battle, going down the line on a hand-cur. himself helping to man the brakes. The governor then issued a state ment in which he declared that according to hi-information there hud been no vio lence for a week and. and that the shoot ing was entirely wanton and unprovoked. He also tired a broadside into the sheriffs of Will and Cook counties, who he said had no deputies on the ground until alter the mischief hadU-en done. Modilies His Viewo Somewhat. He further said that the sheriffs had tried to shift the resinmsibiUty of main taining order from their own shoulders to those of the governor, letter the governor heard the other side of the story, the con tractors taking hand in the talk. They told him that no demands had tx-eri made upon them for an increase of wages, and that their men were anxious to work if pjoteeted from violeiHt on the part of tlie striking quarrymen. . Their story of Fri day's riot was greatly at variance with the reports given him by the strikers, and the governor was forced to modify his views somewhat as to the responsibility for the bloodshed. The hearing took place at Joliet. STRIKERS TRY TO GET EVEN. JSejrro Canal Laborers Pursued by Molin Work Ilesnmetl. At Turnout the only exciting incidents since Friday s tragedy were two assaults by htrikers upon negro canal laliorers. Two of these walked down the railway track from Itomeo. A gang of strikers was lounging around the station, and when they spied the negroes a cry of "Kill them: Kill them!" was raised. The negroes took flight, and were pursued by the mob for nearly a mile. Stones and elu)s were hurled at the flying blacks, fait they es caped without serious injury, and finally found refuge in a militia camp. Later in the afternoon three more negroes ventured into town, but no sooner were they seen than they were pursued anil captured by a mob. Before any harm could lie done them, however, they were rescued by meml:rs of the local jiolice force, and amis being found on them they were locked up on charges of carrying con cealed weapons. The real animus of the entire trouble, at least as for us concerns the lultorers em ployed bv the drainage board contractors, is shown" to Ih; the animosity of the foreign laborers of Lemont to the colored la borers whom several contractors have employed in large numbers from the south to work on the drainage canal. The senti ment is freely expressed by prominent citi cens of Lemont that no colored man can stay in the town and live. tine thousand men began work on the drainage canal to-day under the protection of the National guard. Ijulwirers on the canal get from 15 to "'i cents an hour, and of l.tVHJ employed 1.10U are residents of the vicinity. A fiiillant Sailor Honored. Washington, June 12.

THE POSTOFFlCE AT TERRE HAUTE. Periston of the Case hy the First Assistant Postmaster Oeneral. Washington, Junetl2. First Assistant Postmaster General Jones has written to Postmaster Donham, of Terre Haute, in reply to the latter's certification to the de lart ment of several appointment he had made in the postomce there, this being the case where Donham attempted to get pos session of the office In-fore it passed into the classified service in order to control the appointments, but failed, as the re quired examination was completed before the office was turned over to him. He however, changed the force and reported his action to the department. Mr. Jones tells the postmaster that he Iteiieves he acted in good faith and with no intention to arrogantly override the laws. "Your zeal and activity," he continues "in getting control of the office is no doulrt commended by many of your jiolitical friends, but under all the circumstances was proltaldy too hasty ami ardent." Tlie Terre Haute iKtstoffiee on tlie 13th ult., by reason of the civil service examination, passed into the classified list and became subject to civil service laws and rules. Tlie first assistant tost master general there fore declines to appoint the letter carriers anil substitute recommended by Mr. Don ham. He adds: "The conduct of the employes under your predecessor is by no means free from criticism. If they were not guilty of insubordination "after the fact' they were so nearly so that it would Ik? a dis tinction without a difference. 1 am free to say that I will receive your recommenda tions for letter curriers from the eligible list of the Terre Haute postoffice. you to retain, however, from the '(Jreincr force' as many us. in your opinion, ifwould lie for the good of the service to retain." It will lie observed thut Jones di tiers from Roosevelt as to t he "insultordinutioii"' of the old force. Roosevelt declared the charge the sheerest nonsense. Practically the Jones decision is a complete victory for Donham. BAYARD IS PERSONA GRATA. Ite KereiveK a Heurty Reception iu I'ng ianl and Makes a Speech. Southampton. June 12.

EXACT DEATH BOLL Just Twenty-One Killed in Ford's Theatre. TWO THOUGHT DEAD WHO ARE ALIVE M. M. .larvis, of Michigan, One or llirm Condition of the Wounded Most of Them RrroTerlng, Hut One Kxpected to lUe Severe Critieism of the House of Itepre Mntatives ami Holman, Vhere the Pri mary UesponsihiHty Is I-aid. Washington, June 12. It is generally accepted us a fact that the government and war department are resiKinsible for the disaster at thw Ford theatre building. The cont raet for the work in the cellar was made with all necessary precautions and the plans drawn with the same cure. The men employed to do tlie work were experts in that line and so far everything was cor rect. But it was in the inspection that the war department seems to have been derelict. Those who did this work were Colonel Alnsworth, who is an effi cient man in his place that of surgeon and head of the record and jicnsion di vision, but never made any pretension to knowledge of engineering; Captain Thorpe, who is head of tlie supply branch, but who has never had experience as an engineer, and Mr. Sasse, engineer of the Imilding, who, while a good mechanical engineer is not up in such work as he was put at. Hlame It ou the House. Nearly every man who talks altout the disaster blames it on the house, and thus is the same as putting it on tlie shouklers of Holman with his "I obiect." Many openly charge him with niggardliness not true economy and declare him primarily the cause of the disaster. Senator Coekrell savs he h;is made repeated efforts to re build the old theatre or provide other quarters for the clerks. The senate has always assented and the house luis always refused to concur. Othersdeclare that the people of the United States are to blame; They demand "economy" and seem to think that the country should Ik-nm as cheaply now jus fifty years ago. A Couple More t'nsafe Huiiiiiiuis. Talk is always cheap, and just now there is a good deal of if going on with varying degrees of wisdom devcloied in the utter ances. There seems to be wisdom in the strictures ngainst the Imilding used by the department of justice; the winder building occupied by the war department and the Busch building, an annex of the post office. None of these was built for the purpose it is used for now. But even the patent office building comes in for condemnation. There are cracks in the walls and Secretary Noble appealed in vain two years ago for money to remedy the trouble. The Correct List of I loud. An exactly correct list of dead has at last lieen compiled. It contains just twenty one names, but the names of several who were in the first list are absent. It is as follows: George Q. Allen. Pennsylvania; George M. Arnold, Virginia, leaves a wid ow: Samuel 1'. Bares. Pennsylvania, leaves widow and family; John Bussius, Washington, I). C leaves widow and fam ily: J. E. Chupin. Columbia. S. ('., leaves widow and ramily; Jeremich Daley. Penn sylvania: Joseph R. Pagan, Pennsylvania, leaves widow and family: J. 15. tiage, Pe toskey, Michigan, leaves widow and child; A. N. Gerault, Annaiwilis, Mil, leave widow and family; J. Boyd Jones. Evansvil'e. Wis., leaves widow and three children: David C. .Ionian, Putnam coun ty. Mo., leaves widow and child; Vank B. Ixiftus, New York. leaves widow and fam ily; (Itto V. W. Mivider. Buffalo. X". Y., leaves a widow: J. H. McFall, Wisconsin, leaves widow ajid child; Michiiel T. Mul ledy, Xew Orleans, Ia.: Howard S. Miller, Guernsey county, t).; Benjamin F. Miller, Utica, X. Y.; Burrows XeLson. West Vir ginia, leaves widow and five children; William Schreilicr, College 1'ark, Mil.; Emanuel G. Shull. North Topukji. Kan.; Frank M. Williams, East Middleton, Wis. REPORTED DEAD BUT ALIVE. GOV. MATTHEWS BAFFLED. Condition of the Injured All the VirHma Poor Men The Bnrlals. Lewis W. Boody, of New York, and M. M. Jarvis, of Michigan, were rejiorted dead, but both are alive and unhurt. The condition of the injured, except as to t-wo of them, is encouraging in fact tlicy are in a fair way to recover. Tlie two are J. P. McCornack. of Wisconsin, and Frank Metcalf. of Massachuseets. McCornack will probably die and Metcalf has de veloped pneumonia, and tlie result is In doubt. F. W. Test, of Illinois, is getting well rapidly. A. S. Ames, of Iowa, is im proving, but is still in a serious condition. J. B. Dowd. of Indiana, will recover. Nearly all the dead have either been bur ied or forwarded to their homes. The cap ital city was in funeral garb all day. and long lines of mourners were to lie s-cn in every direction following the dead to their last rest itig pkice. Every one knew what the sad procession meant, and the sympa thy of all was extended, alln-it unexpressed in many cases, to the sorrowing, stricken ones. Inquiry confirmed the statement that none of the victims were men of prop erty. Most of them lived on their salaries, which furnished a means of livelihood, but left little for a day like this. Most of them were married, anil some had large families who are now left, if not entirely dependent upon friends and relatives, at least lacking in funds for immediate use. Tin- remains of ,T. Boyd .Tones were sent to Evansville, Wis., where a widow and three children await them. J. B.Gage was buried among his comrudes at Arlington by Kit Carson Post G. A. R. George M. Arnold, a colored victim, was well known in government employ and two colored military companies followed his remains to the grave. Otto F. W. Maeiler was buried at Arlington. J)r. Burrows Nelson at Olivet, and Frank M. Williams, of Middlctown. Wis., in the Congressional cemetory. The Iudejiendcnt Order of Mechanics buried J. R. Fagan and Garfield post interred at Arlington the body of J. E. Chupin. Much of the talk upon the disaster is now of relief measures and the circulation of subscription papers in t he departments and the Washington newspapers in their efforts to gather funds for the relief of the victims and their families are meeting with success to a degree that does credit to the benevolence of the citizens.
