STRIKE RIOTS IN PATERSON Running: Street Fights Suspended the Silk Mills, POLICE USED THEIR REVOLVERS Grand Jury Charged to Return Indictments For Rioting and Assault—3soo Men Out—Demands of Dyers' Helpers —Mobs Marched Through the City Attacking Mills—One Owner Clubbed. j Paterson, N. J.—Striking dye helpers Stormed the establishments that were Still running, and by force compelled a complete suspension of business in their trade. Nearly 3500 men quitted ;work. They engaged in a series of running fights with the police and plant managers, and in one of the severest clashes exchanged a volley of pistol shots with them. . The radicals among the strikers were 111 command, and hostilities ceased only [when there were no more shops to [win over to the cause for which they [were fighting. Many persons on either Bide were severely injured during the rioting, but none dangerously so. The disorder began early in the day, iand was unexpected. A meeting of Btrikers was held at Rueger's Riverside Hall, and 2000 men gathered at the place. They demanded that helpers should get 20 cents an hour; machine men, 22 cents; finishers, 24 cents; learners, 20 cents; the schedule to be in effect for the next five years. The old prices per hour were as follows: Helpers, 16Mj cents; machine men, 18V4 cents; finishers, 22 cents; learners, 14% cents. While the meeting was in progress the radicals urged a raid upon the works still in operation, and when their suggestion was approved a rush was headed for the establishment of James Simpson & Co. That firm, fearing trouble, dismissed the men and closed Its doors. Robert Gaede's works were ,visited next, and after that the Bamford mill, where the first serious disorder occurred, was surrounded. Windows were smashed, chemicals spilled, and considerable damage done. The men at work in the plant quickly quitted their places. While one mob was closing the Bamford mill, another was surging into the plant of the American Silk Dyeing and Finishing Company. Armed with dye sticks and stones, they charged through the place, driving the men from their places. Geoi'ge Arnold, one (Of the members of the firm, was dropped insensible with a blow on the tiead from a dye stick. Almost simultaneously an attack was begun on the works of Emil Ceering, and it was in the fight for possession of it that the shooting occurred. Two policemen w<rre guarding the property, land when the mob came rushing down, 'they warned those in the van to keep kway. Some one in the crowd discharged a revolver, and the policc quickly returned the fire. Half a iclozen shots were fired, and one striker, jwho escaped unidentified, was shot in ithe leg. The mob stoned the policemen, and when one of the latter arrested one of the leaders, closed in around him. The officers swung their clubs and beat their way out of the crowd. One of the patrolmen finally secured a rifle and when he came out iand faced the crowd with it, there was a general scattering. After loitering around for a time the strikers re-formed and marched to OKnipscher & Maas's dye shop in the Gun mill yard, where seven policemen were on duty under Sergeant Halstead. To reach the yard the strikers .would have to cross a bridge near the dye shop, and the police, seeing them coming, marched up to the bridge and blocked the passage. The rioters broke up into small bands, and loitered around for some time. A rock was 'hurled from one of these groups at Sergeant Halsted. It struck a telephone at which the Sergeant was standing, and in falling it hit Arthur Neale, who was speaking to the Sergeant.Five strikers were arrested and arraigned before Recorder Senior, and all except cne went to jail. John Ball was arrested for inciting his companions to riot at the Weidmann shop. He went to jail for ten days. Antonio Jarat, a French-Canadian, got ten days In default of the payment of a fine bf $10 for creating a disturbance. Louis 'Forano and Ernest Foster went away for ten days for throwing stones at iWeidmann's shop. Georold Mestelia threw a rock at Sergeant Halstead and got ten days. Judge Dixon called the Grand Jury before him and charged them to return as many indictments as possible against persons guilty of rioting. The conservative element of the strikers had, in the meantime, disavowed the violence' of their fellows, and urged a return to peaceful means to gain the find that was sought. The strikers met again in Bunker Hill Hall to receive the reports of committees appointed to visit owners of shops. Nearly all were to the effect that owners would grant the increase if all would. Decisive answers were received from Knipscher & Maas, Gaede, Kearns Brothers and the Paterson Dyeing Company, all of whom agreed unconditionally to grant the increase, tt was then asked whether the men employed by these four concerns could ?o to work immediately. After a long discussion it was decided that no one could go to work until all the owners had agreed to the schedule presented by the men.

C.—"l have no present Presidential aspirations. Having laid aside the mantle of practical politics and tried my best to be a Governor of the people, I ask the people, if they desire to reward me, to send me as a delegate to the next National convention of Republicans, so that I may cast a vote for Theodore Roosevelt to succeed himself. With such a commission I shall be well satisfied." Such was the positive statement of Governor Odell, of New York, in a speech at the Exposition.

ASSASSIN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE Moscow So Disturbed That the Czar Abandoned His Easter Visit There—Many Arrests For Anti-Governmental Conspiracy—lt is Feared That the Disorders May Spread to Other Sections. St. Petersburg, Russia. — The peasants in the Poltava and Kharkoff Provinces, where 18,000 are reported to be participating in riots, have sacked eighty estates, where they destroyed everything they could not carry off. The whole region is terrorized, and land-owners and stewards are fleeing for safety. The fear is increasing that Kharkoff and other towns will be attacked. Some of the authorities are showing weakness and pusillanimity, while others are cruelly vigorous and are causing wholesale floggings of persons arrested. The agitation at Moscow is so serious that the Czar has relinquished his intention of spending the Russian Easter there. The Ministers, including M. de Witte, the Minister of Finance, continue to receive letters threatening them with death. The judicial inquiry into the assassination of M. Spiaguine, the Minister of the Interior, has led to the arrests of many persons suspected of connection with an anti-Governmental conspiracy. These include a Jewess, who is the fiancee of Balschaneff, the assassin of the Minister, and her father, who supplied Balschaneff with money. Upon learning of the arrest of his fiancee Balschaneff attempted to commit suicide, but was prevented from so doing by his guards. Senator Kokowtzow, the Assistant Minister of Finance, has been appointed Secretary of State for Finland in succession to Senator von Piehwe, who was appointed Minister of the Interior in succession to M. Sipiaguine. $500,000 FIRE IN CLENS FALLS. Fifteen Business Places Burned Out—6oo Persons Thrown Out of Work. Glens Falls, N.

D., was indicted for forgery by a Federal Grand Jury, under directions from the Department of Justice at Washington.

WINDSTORMS IN THE WEST Three Killed and Many Fatally Injured at Joplin, Mo. Storm Reached to Dimensions of a Hur» rlcane In Nebrasua— Benefit to Farming in Geneva! Untold. Joplin, Mo.—Joplin was visited by the most destructive storm in its history, during which at least three persons were killed outright, six fatally injured, a score or more seriously hurt and $300,000 worth of property was destroyed. The fury of the storm broke at 4.33 o'clock p. m. There was no premonition of its terrible violence. There was an utter absence of the usual funnelshaped cloud, and the clouds looked no more threatening than those which produce the ordinary thunder shower. The wind was a straight gale, but it was of terrible velocity, whipping down scores of houses in the south part of the city and reducing to kind* ling wood $100,000 worth of the finest mining plants in this district. Lincoln, Neb.—A terrific wind reaching at times a velocity of sixty Ljile3 an hour prevailed at Lincoln throughout the afternoon and into the night. But little damage was done. There was a slight fall of rain. All kinds of weather conditions prevailed in adjacent towns. In York County there was a drenching rain followed by a heavy snow. In Greeley County hailstones fell of sufficient size to strip trees and kill poultry and young stock. The benefit to wheat and farming in general will be untold. This puts the wheat in condition to stand many days without more rain and still be in good condition.Omaha, Neb.—An unusually heavy wind storm, which struck this city killed one person and injured a number of others, unroofed a number of buildings and broke many skylights. There was a heavy downpour of rain. Street cars were stopped for an hour, wires and signs were blown down in all directions.Des Moines, lowa.—A cloudburst occurred at Mingo, water running eighteen inches deep in the street. Telegraph wires were prostrated along the Rock Island, between Council Bluffs and Atlantic, and along the Chicago Great Western, in the vicinity of Mingo and Valeria. A heavy rain fell over the northern quarter of the State. Guthrie, Okla. — The wind blew a hurricane over Eastern Oklahoma, and the thermometer dropped to twenty degrees. A norther carrying clouds of dust drove a blinding storm, the most destructive of years. Milwaukee, Wis. — A drenching rain was general throughout the State. It was the first heavy rain of the season, and undoubtedly will be of great benefit to farmers. HOMICIDE ON A WARSHIP. Master-nt-Arms Gets Three Years Foi Killing Japanese Steward. Washington, D. C.—lt has just developed that on the cruise of the North Atlantic squadron a homicide was committed February 23 on board the Indiana. The chief master-at-arms, James Douglass, had occasion to discipline a Japanese wardroom steward, Kumaji Mokamoto, and as the latter was recalcitrant, the master-at-arms threw him to the deck and beat him with his fists, from the effects of which the victim died. Douglass was tried by court-martial and convicted of involuntary manslaughter. He was sentenced to three years' imprisonment, and is now in- the prison ship Southery at Boston. The Japanese Legation here called for a statement of the facts, which has been furnished. As the assailant has been punished, it is presumed there will be no further complaint. CAPTAIN CLARK DECLINES. Mission to King Edward's Coronation Would Inyolre Too Much Expense. Washington, D. C.—Captain Charles E. Clark has declined the appointment of special naval representative at the coronation of King Edward, and the President has named Rear - Admiral Watson for that mission. The declination of Captain Clark, it is understood, was due to the fact that the mission for which he was slated involves personal outlay for entertainment and exchange of courtesies of a very formidable character, and entirely beyond his private means. Admiral Watson succeeded Admiral Dewey in command of the naval forces in the Philippines. POULTRY IN CRIP OF A TRUST. Three Firms Can Fix Prices For the En. J tire Country. Chicago.—Three great firms practically have complete control of the poultry market. They own two-thirds of all the poultry in the country and are able to fix the prices. The firms are Armour & Co., Swift & Co. and Pribe & Semiter, of Bushnell, 111. It is estimated that they have 500,000 cases of poultry of about 100 pounds each in cold storage. Their profit has already been immense. Fancy dressed chickens have sold as high as eleven and one-half cents, against eight and ono-half cents a year ago at this time. Turkeys are five to six cents higher than a year ago, and may go to twenty cents a pound. Swift and Armour are leaders In buying eggs for cold storage, and already have 175,000 cases placed away in Chicago alone. WAR ON WITH THE MOROS Two Engagements Occurred Before Peace Orders Arrived, CHAFFEE PROTESTED BY CABLE General Reported That Prestige of Americans Would Be I.ost If Troops Were Withdrawn — Expedition Started to Capture Murderers and Was Fired On After It Had Proceeded Fight Miles. Washington, D. C.—The War Department's disinclination to allow General Chaffee to stir up the Mahommedan Moros in the Island of Mindinao has resulted in the stopping of an expedition which was started by General Davis to penetrate the island and capture a number of murderers. The War Department's order stopping the expedition was sent to General Chaffee and the General replies that the expedition has already proceeded eight miles on its march and that it has fought two engagements. Press dispatches show that Major Moore, of the Twenty-seventh Infantry, Xvhile out with a small party hunting for water, was fired upon at long range. Lieutenant-Colonel Frank D. Baldwin with a battalion of troops and a mountain gun, went to the assistance of Moore's party and drove off the Moros, who lost seven men. The firing was at 1100 yards range. The Moros, who are Moslems and fanatical, were flying red flags at their villages, meaning that they intend to fight to the uttermost. Later Sultan Pualo and a force of natives attempted to reoccupy the ground gained by the Americans, but the Moros were forcibly dispersed. Datto (Chief) Ganasi, has sent a delegation to the American commander, tendering the absolute submission of the men under his control. Brigadier-General Davis, in command at Zamboanga, Island of Mindanao, has acknowlegded the recept from Washington of instructions to withdraw his troops from Mindanao, but he urges that, owing to the present state of affairs, the withdrawal of the troops will result in the absolute loss of American prestige among the Moros in Mindanao. His orders, however, are explicit. Lieutenant-Colonel Baldwin and hia forces are beyond the reach of the telegraphic instructions from Washington. Hoping to avoid a religious war, which the Moslems Would probably be glad to wage, the President desires to exhaust all other means of effecting the capture of the Moros who murdered American soldiers, before resorting to arms. Meanwhile, however, that portion of General Davis's command which was selected for the journey will still be held in readiness, and all preparations up to the point of actual departure will be made. BISHOP NEUMANN'S TOMS OPENED Body Viewed After Forty-two Tears, Preliminary to Prelate's Beatification. Philadelphia,Pa.—The tomb in which the body of Bishop John N. Neumann was placed forty-two years ago was opened by a special ecclesiastical court, the proceeding one of the final acts preliminary to the beatification of the prelate. The disinterment was made in secret, and was for the purpose of identifying the body of Bishop Neumann, and to ascertain its state of preservation.Two witnesses swore that they witnessed the burial of the Bishop, and two physicians wrote a minute description of the body. It then was placed in a new coffin and restored to the vault, which was sealed by Archbishop Ryan. The evidence collected by the ecclesiastical court during its inquiry, which has been in progress for several years, dow will be forwarded to Rome. Bishop Neumann was born in Bohemia in 1811 and came to America when he was thirty-two years old. He was made bishop of the diocese in 1552. DR. TALMAGE LEFT $300,000. One-third Goes to the Widow, the Rest to the Children. Washington, D. C.—The will of the Rev. Dr. T. De Witt Talmage has been filed. It leaves an estate valued at more than $300,000, of which about $250,000 is in personal property. The Washington Loan and Trust Company is named as executor.

SAM MOY IS DEAD. Chinaman, Said to Be Worth 84,000,000, Passes Away in Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wis.—Sam Moy, one of the noted Chinamen in the United States, died of pneumonia at the Hotel Davidson. Sam Moy's death will be felt by the Chinese throughout the United States as a serious loss, as he had done more for his race than any other Chinaman in America. For several years he had been engaged in the tea business in Chicago and had accumulated a fortune estimated at $4,000,000. He was a remarkably well-educated man for one of his race. STATE NEWS. To Have a Free Nursery. The Forestry Branch, of the State Forest. Fish and Game Commission ig about to begin the experiment of raising trees for transplanting. The section selected is Lake Clear, in the Adirondacks. The broad acres in this section were swept by several fires, and Colonel William F. Fox, Superintendent of the State Forests, whose experience in the woods dates back to his boyhood, is sanguine of the success of the undertaking. It is his plan to establish the nursery in some warm, sheltered place. The principal species will be pine and spruce, but sugar maple and other native woods can and may be cultivated if there is any demand for them. At present the State buys its seedlings of pine and spruce from Western States, paying $3 to $4 per 1000 for seedlings from three to four years eld. Colonel Fox asserts that the State can raise seedlings four years old, suitable for transplanting, at fifty cents per 1000, and that it can in a few years furnish 3,000,000 seedlings a year. These can be sent to any part of tho State for distribution, similar to the distribution of fish from the State hatcheries new. Colonel Fox believes that the demand for shade trees in cities will increase, and that a State nursery to supply such demands will become a ncccssity. Big Fire at Croghan.

J.—Striking dye helpers Stormed the establishments that were Still running, and by force compelled a complete suspension of business in their trade. Nearly 3500 men quitted ;work.

The radicals among the strikers were 111 command, and hostilities ceased only [when there were no more shops to [win over to the cause for which they [were fighting. Many persons on either Bide were severely injured during the rioting, but none dangerously so. The disorder began early in the day, iand was unexpected. A meeting of Btrikers was held at Rueger's Riverside Hall, and 2000 men gathered at the place.
