STRIKE IN' CHICAGO Fifteen Hundred Men Are Mak ing Trouble For THE ILLINOIS STEEL CO, Secretary Morton Expounds the Sil ver Question iu Answer to Cherry -Other Sews. ' ' . Associated Frees. . , Chicago, May 7. Twelve hundred blast men employed by the Illinois Steel Com pany, struck today. The' strike is' ex pected to extend to other departments. . Shortly before 6 o'clock tonight a crowd ot 1500 men forced their way past 'the watchmen at one of the gates and pro ceeded to take possession of the property. They marched first to where some o: the laboring men were still at work and compelled them to quit work. When the strikers reached the machine shop where about 400 machinists are employed, they met with a different reception. The ma chlnlsts have a scale of their own and the fight of the other men made no par tlcular difference. They, refused to quit or to allow themselves to be driven out of the yards. . The fight was growing warm and broken heads and bloody noses were getting very common, when the police arrived. Captain Jenkins, of the police, ordered his men to draw their re volvers and Are over their heads, As soon as this was done, the mob broke and run. A number of men were painfully .ljured. MORTON'S REPLY. Washington, May 7.-Secretary Morton has written a letter to James A. Cherry, of Denver, in answer to a letter from that gentlemtn criticising some statements in an Interview with the secretary of agri culture, two weeks ago, which caused so much comment. The secretary says: "From your letter of . April 22d it ap pears that you and I perfectly agree In the fundamental point, namely, that de mand and supply inexorably regulate all values whatsoever at all times and In all places. At what points do we begin to separate from each other, and then go on to conclusions so utterly diverse? These points are only two the first historical, and the second logical. ' "First, you assume certain proposi tions to be true of silver which are not historically true at all, but quite the re verse of true. You say, for Instance, 'Until 1873 the chief use of silver was for coinage.' It had other uses, but the demand for its coinage purposes was steady and constant. "On this point - you have been mon strously misinformed. The first federal coins of silver were minted in 1704 and of gold In 17Su! Their ratio was recommend ed by Alexander .Hamilton and fixed by act nt uoagreas. It was IS to 1. It was hoped thus to keep the two metals in an equallbrlum of coinage. But they would not even come into equallbrlum on that ratio, still less would they stay there. Only 321 silver dollar pieces were coined at the American mint in the year 1806, because silver was worth more out of coinage than in It, and worth more for export than for domestic money. By 1873 the immense disadvantages of the double standard had become so plain to all thinking people that congress wisely determined to abandon the utterly fu tile attempt to secure the parity ot the two metals, and to make gold the legal tender for debts, except for sums of 35 and under. "Why Is It there Is so little use of sli ver dollars in this country today, while there are millions upon millions of them lying Idle? I answer confidently, because there Is no adequate demand' for them." THE NEW GUNBOATS. Washington, May 7. The six new gun boats, for which plans have recently been approved by the secretary of the navy, will be known as Nos. 10, U, 12, 13, 14, and 15, until they are named by the secretary. It Is the Intention of the construction bureau In preparing speci fications to have the new boats built In the least possible time and It Is consid ered that they ought to be .ready to go Into commission within IS months. The naval bill provides that rivalry is likely among the Arms securing the contracts to complete the boats as quickly as pos sible. RIOTS IN NEW YORK. Hudson, N. Y., May 7. A' riot has brok en out In the brickyard of Walsh Bros., seven miles above the city. The sheriff of Columbia county, has been called on to quell the disturbance.

There is a belief -that McGuire was thrown Into the water by the infuriated Italians, all of whom were drunk yesterday and de manded aa Increase In wsgea. INCOME TAX CASE. Washington May 7. Attorney General Olney began to speak on the Income tax this afternoon. He said that be was unable to feel the force, or appreciate toe Jtistice of tne court's opinkm that rents of Teal astate were not embraced within the scope of the previous decisions of the court legalizing the Income tax.

F May T.-Last night a story was crculated that the Bank of Montreal had suspended. The rumor was traced to the anti-confederation fanatics, but the people here have been so badly ' TS . . ..

The steamship lines have been notified on behalf of the Nlcaraguan government that the port of Corlnto is now open."

HAY PROVE AN ALIBI Durant's Attorneys Think They Have Sufficient Proof. THE CALISPELL INDIANS Robertson and a Oirl Disappear Chinese Certificates and Opium . Frauds Revealed Bv Cobs. Associated Pi-ess. San Francisco, May 7. Theodore Dur rani's attorneys have discovered evidence which they believe will enable them to establish an alibi for their client', so far as the Williams murder case Is concerned. A Market street hair dresser states that Minnie Williams, . who was a regular pat ron, entered her sh6p at 8 o'clock on the evening of her disappearance. She had her hair dressed, leaving the shop ,a( 8:25. As It Is estimated that by taking the car Immediately she could not reach Emanuel church until 8:50, Durrant's counsel argue that Durrant could not thereafter have escorted her to the church, outraged and murdered her and then walked to Dr. Vogel's where he ar rived at 9:15. ". CALISPELL INDIANS. Washington, May 7. Captain J. E. Bubb, . Fourth Infantry, acting Indian Agent at Fort Spokane, sent the follow; lng dispatch to the Indian bureau to day: "Callspell Is here complaining that his people in the Callspell valley are being abused by the white settlers who .are taking their lands from them and threat ening them. iHe says they cannot stand It any longer and wants me to go there. The sheriff ot Stevens county has expect ed trouble there for some time. I do not know the present status of the Indians or whether the department wants them to retain their lands, but some one should go there. I can hardly spare the time."; At the Indian bureau lt lsotated that the KaTlspell or' Pend O'Reille Indians have been cultivating their lands In the Panhandle of Northern Idaho for many years and that they are peaceful and civilized. i ': In 1887 it was thought advisable to move them to another location and an agreement was made with them by which they were to go to the Coeur d'Alene reservation. FThli agreement has never .beer)';t(iJwbj,congress, though repeat edly brought to its attention. In the meantime their right to their present farms Is unquestionable. O. A. ROBERTSON DISAPPEARS. . San Francisco, May 7. Another dlsap. pearance announced today, is that of George A. Robertson, clerk in the firm of H. S. Crocker & Co.

Thrilling .Experience of Harry Phillips ' and Two Companions Monday Night. If Mr. Harry Phillips had any hair to speak of, It would probably have turned gray during his experiences ot Monday night and yesterday morning. Between the choice 'of -a -nice little-commercial" business In a white apron, and ft Hfeori " the ocean wake In a forty-foot scow, Mr. Phillips would not now hesitate for any considerable length of time. He has tried both, and Is qualified to judge. On Monday Mr. Phillips, who Is night watch man at the Cutting Packing Co.'a can nery, was sent down to Sand Island to ' take charge of the company's fish scow for a few days. The scow, which Is the joint property ot Samuel Eftnore and the C. P. Co., was by some foolish mistake, tied up In a very unsafe and unsheltered position to two small, spiles, and when Phillips reached his floating mansion he found that as he expresses It, "she was jumping around, pretty tlvely." At S o'clock In the afternoon matters had not mended any, and the' scow being almost entirely at the mercy of the waves was thrown up and down like a stick of wood. As the night came on, Phillips,, and his to companions, Oscar Berg and Hlck ey, the latter an elderly man, began to perceive that the rope would not hold them to the spiles much longer, and be gan to make preparations to take to the boat Shortly before 8 o'clock the rope parted with a shock that threw the scow on her beam ends. The three men got Into the boat with great difficulty, arid taking an oar apiece kept her headed to the sea for five hours. They made no way, and when the sea went down a little a few minutes after midnight, all ot them weren nearly frozen. As soon as the tide began to ebb they made a little progress but were so nearly dead beat that It was all they could do to lift the oars. At 8 o'clock the moon came out and by Us light they pulled for Klnney'l scow, reaching it after having battled with the waves for close on lght hours. The scow was whirled away by the rush ot water and was found about half a mile from the mouth of the Chinook river, with Its contents, about ninety salmon, all safe. The fish were taken out md transferred aboard the Ilwaro and brought to this city In the afternoon, in charge of Mr. Phillips. He reports that beyond colds and exhaustion lierg and he are all right, but that Hlckey Is in a state of prostration. Once during the night the latter gave up all hope and would have thrown himself overboard If his companions had not restrained him. The scow will be got oft on the next high tide If possible, but with the con tinuance of bad weather she may be broken up. THAT RIGHT OF WAY. Editor Aatorlan: Sir; In the Aatorlan of the th ap peared a communication signed "Rltjht of Way," and headed "What Do They Mean?" which in my opinion is uncalled for and reflects on the committee of which I am chairman. I therefore de nounce said article as damaging the com--Ittee and uncalled for and axalnst the beat Interests of Astoria, and It was not Instigated by any member of the right of way committee. JAS.
