Rochester, N. Y., June 28.—One
thousand striking laborers had a
brisk encounter with the police today,
in which 11 policemen and 20 rioters
were injured. The rioters set out, as
several times before, too drive off the
laborers working on street improve
ments.
At Mill and Commercial
streets they encountered 50 laborers
employed by the Rochester Gas &
Electric company in digging a trench,
and drove them from the trench.
The workers sought refuge in the
power house of the company, and the
police undertook to disperse the mob.
The police reserves were drawn up in
a platoon of 50 across the street, and
upon orders advanced with drawn
clubs upon the mob.
Immediately
the air was filled with bricks, stones
and wood, and shovels and picks in
the hands of the strikers were used
freely. Amid the melee a shot rang
out and the sergeant commanding the
platoon ordered the police to fire over
the heads of the strikers.
This had
the desired effect. The strikers scat
tered and the police chased them
through the streets to the City Hall
Park, where they were held awaiting
action by the mayor.
Police reinforcements were hurried
to the scene of the riot, but their ser
vices were not required. The injuries
sustained by several of the policemen
are of a serious nature. The hurts of

City Full of Soldiers and Officers
Were
St. John’s, N. F., June 28.—The
Orient Steam Navigation Company’s
steamship Lusi.auia, from Liverpool,
June 18, for Montreal, having 300
passengers on board, was wrecked
last night off Cape Ballard.
The Lusitania was bound round
Cape Race for Montreal with a large
cargo and a shipload of passengers.
She mistook her course in a dense fog,
and went ashore near Renews, 20 miles
north of Cape Race, liefore daybreak.
The ship ran over a reef, and hangs
against a cliff. The passengers, who
are mostly emigrants, were panic
stricken. They stampeded and fought
for the boats, but were overcome by the
officers and crew
The rougher ele
ments among the passengers used
knives.
The women and children
were first landed, and the men fol
lowed. The crew stood by the ship.
A heavy sea was running, but at
latest advices the Lusitania was hold
ing her own. It is thought that she
will prove a total wreck.
The passengers of the Lusitania
had a terrible experience. The first
knowledge they had of the disaster
was when, owing to the ship scraping
over the rocks, they were hulled from
their berths by the shock. A scene
of great excitement prevailed. Three
hundred people were clamoring to
escape, while the crew tried to pacify
them and launch the boats. The
male passengers in their attempt to
seize the boats, trampled the women
under foot and fought the crew with
knives. Some of the more cool head
ed of the passengers assisted the crew
in the efforts to get out the boats.
The women and children, almost
nude, were pulled up the cliffs by the
coast people.
The unhappy passengers,
after
shivering for hours on the hilltop,
tramped weary miles to reach the
houses of the fishermen, where they
are now sheltered. Previous to reach
ing the cliffs, the passengers passed
two hours of terrible anxiety on the
wreck. As a furious rain storm and
heavy sea raged all night, it is feared
the Lusitania will be a total wreck.
The last reports received here said
the steamer was breaking up, that
her foreholds were full of water and
that her cargo was being salvaged.
There is hope of saving the effects of
the passengers, as, where possible,
they were stored above decks.
RIOT AT
TIEN TSIN
'Tien Tsin, July 2.— The city of
Tien Tsin is now more crowded than
ever. Officers of ail nations are here
en route for their home«, and the
hotels are placing cots in every avail
able place.
Apartments have been
prepared at the University of Tien
Tsin for Prince Chuan and his suite
of 40, who will remain there for three
days before leaving for Germany to
make formal apology for the murder
of Baron von Ketteler.
Mr. Denby, who, when the foreign
troops arrived, was appointed by the
Chinese Merchants’ Company to pro
tect its property, says the company,
in its claim against the United States
government, did not use the word
“loot” against the marines, but mere
ly held them
responsible.
The
greater part of the company’s proper
ty consisted of rice, which was after
wards distributed under orders from
the British and American generals to
assist those in need.
Mr. Denby
thinks the company’s cliam should
have been added to the indemnity as
legitimate expenditure.
Other mer
chants say the company never had
300,000 taels’ worth of property here.
It is pointed out that the company
stored three boxes of valuables with
the chartered bank before the trouble
began and did not withdraw these
until October, and that, consequently,
it is quite improbable any jewels
were left to lie looted. Moreover, the
place was thoroughly gone through
by local looters before the allied forces
arrived. It would be legally impossi
ble to hold any portion of the reliev
ing force responsible for anything but
the rice and coal, which were used as
a military necessity, to feed Chinese
coolies who were forced to labor and
also those who were without means of
livelihood.

Honolulu, June 23, via San Fran
cisco, July 3.—The number of claims
that will be presented to the court of
commissioners appointed to adjudicate
the cla ms of the damages resulting
from the great fire that destroyed
Chinatown as a result of the burning
of the plague infected buildings by
the board ofhealth, about a year ago,
is now estimated at 10,000.
The total amount of the claims will
probably reach $5,000,000, while the
appropriation for such claims is only
$1,500,000. The Japanese consul has
2.10J claims of hiB countrymen, and
the Chinese consul has over 5,000
claims of Chinamen, and there are
many individual claims.
The house of representatives has
passed and sent to the senate the
salaries appropriation bill, cutting
the governor’s estimates for the
, period of two years by about $130,-
000. The current expenses bill has
been taken up and heavy cuts are be
ing made in all departments.
The
senate’s views differ in many respects,
| however, and it is thought that thé
legislature may fail to pass any appro
priation bill at all.
Over half the
! time of the extra session has passed
and the houses have not yet reached
the stage of conference committees.
The grand jury called to investi
gate the charges of bribery in the leg
islature has made its report to the
circuit judge. The jury reports that
it has found no evidence that there
was any bribery of members of the
leigslature.
The work of registering Chinese at
the office of the collector of internal
revenue has been completed, and the
total number of certificates issued is
close to 29.000. This is 2,000 more
than the total number of Chinese in
the islands as shown by the last cen-
SUS.
WASHINGTON G. A. R.
Train.
Baltimore, July 2.—The roof of the
Union Railroad tunnel in the eastern
section of the city, used and con
trolled by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
caved in shortly before 2 o’clock this
morning. It. is supposed that a de
fect in the arch of the tunnel caused
the accident.
A narrow escape from death or ser
ious injury was experienced by the
passengers and crew of an express
train which was caught by the falling
debris in the tunnel.
As far as can
be learned, the avalanche of earth
and rocks caught the rear express
car, which was immediately In front
of the passenger cars. The train was
not running rapidly and the jar was
not severe.
The engineer quickly
brought his train to a full stop and
word was sent from a signal tower to
the Union station.
A yard engine
was sent into the tunnel and the
thinly filled passenger coaches were
drawn back to Union station without
the occupants being aware of the dan
ger through which they had passed.

from Nashua, N. H. It became ne

during the day on account of the ter
rible heat. Many persons were pros

TEN BOYS AND ONE MAN WERE KILLED
Huddled Together in a Small Cabin to Take
Shelter F om the Storm—Only One
Survived the Shock.
Chicago, July 3. — Crowded to
gether in a little zinc lined shanty
under a North Shore pier, lOlioys and
young men and one old man met
instant death by lightning today.
They had left their fish lines and
sought shelter from the fierce thunder
storm that deluged the northern part
of the city, about 1 o’clock. There
were twelve who sought shelter and
just one escaped. The dead are all
from families of comparatively poor
people. They were fishing and seek
ing relief from the heat of the day or
had come to wade or swim.
The scene of the tragedy was a pier
just south of Marquette terrace and a
few hundred feet from the waterworks
pumping station at the foot of Mont
rose boulevard.
The storm was as
violent a visitation as has ever lieen
experienced in Chicago. The skies
were billed with the Hashing glare of
lightning, and the air rumbled
steadily with thunder. Half a dozen
houses, outbuilding and trees in the
vicinity were struck and amost all of
the telephone wires burned out.
There were 13 men and boys on the
pier at the time.
They rushed for
the only available shelter and crowd
ed themselves in through the little
trap door in the top of the cabin till
they were packed almost to the suffo
cation point. Then came the thun
der bolt. It was the worst of the
storm.
Watchers in the pumping
station saw the zigzag lightning
strike the water, as they thought.
There was one small boy, however,
who saw the bolt, and whose senses
were all alert, despite his excitement.
But for him the dead might have lain
where they were for hours, and the-
one not killed might have suffocated
under their bodies. This boy, clad in
bathing trunks, and watching from
the water, heard a scream as the bolt
struck.
Mindless of the storm he
rushed across the beach. At the pier
he heard a cry, “Help! Get me out!”
He could not move any of the bodies
so telephoned to the police station.

BY WAY OF AMERICA.
Chaun Will Return Home Through the United

Washington, July 3.—The state
department has received a dispatch
from Mr.Rockhill at Pekin, faying
that Prince Chuan, brother of the em
peror, will sail for Germany July 20,
on a special mission. He wll return
by way of America and is expected to
reach this country early in October.
The special mission is to apologize to
the Geramn government for the mur
der of its minister at Pekin and other
indignities to its citizens there.
The trip of Prince Chuan to Ger
many and America will be the first
event of that kind on record, as it is
an unbroken tradition in China that
the members of the imperial family
shall remain within the boundaries of
the empire. It had not lieen known
up to this time that Prince Chuan
would come to this country, as the
advices reachiig the Chinese lega-
tioon here indicated that he would-
return the other way. For that reas
on the legation officials have made
no arrangements yet for the entertain
ment of the distinguished guest, but
it is presumed that he will be quarter
ed at the legation and shown the high
consideration accorded to one of his
high rank.

»
Pittsburg. June 3.—President T. J.
Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers,
has issued an order calling out all
union e’"ployes of the various mills
of the
nerican Steel Hoop Com
pany, known as the hoop trust. It is
estimated that 15,000 men are subject
to the call, which, in connection with
the big strike of the American Sheet
Steel Company, ordered by President
Shaffer, will affect 50,000men. Pres
ident Shaffer said tonight:
“The open mi 11s to be closed are
one at Hollidaysburg, Pa., three at
Pittsburg and one at Monessen. The
organized mills which will close on
our call are the upper and lower mills
at Youngstown, O.; Pomeroy, O. ;
Sharon, Pa.; Girard, Pa. ; Warren,
Pa., and Greenville, Pa. This, I be
lieve, will bring the number of men
affected up to 50,000. It is a matter
of regret that the issue has be: n
formed, but it now looks as if it would
be a fight to the death.
We have
funds and will use them. If it is to
be a strike, we will make it one to be
remembered. The officials now deal
ing with us have but little idea of the
extent to which this strike will go,
once it is on. ”
Retired on Pensions.
Chicago, July 3.—About 200 em
ployes of the Illinois Central railroad
were retired on pension under the new
system which became effective at
midnight last night. Their pensions
will be based on their average month
ly pays during the last 10 years of
their service, they being allowed a
certain per cent of this amount for
each year of their total service. To
carry out this scheme the company
has provided a fund of $250,060, and
each year a sum of not to exceed
$100.000 will be set apart for the pay
ment of the pension allowances for
the year.
No Break at Newport News.
Freight Handlers Out
Newport News, Va., July 3.—The
striking machinists at the ship yard
are adhering to their determination
to hold out for their demands.’ The
strike is now in its fifth week, and
seems no nearer a settlement than on
the day of its inauguration.
The
machinists claim they have 98 per
cent of the number solid for a contin
uance of the strike.
The ship yard
employed 7,500 men before the pres
ent trouble. Now about 3,000 are
employed. The superintendent states
that no concessions will be made.
St. Louis, Mo., July 3.—Between
350 and 400 freight handlers employ
ed in and about the warehouses of the
different raiilroads entering East St.
Louis, Ill., are out on a strike today
for an increase in wages to 15 cent's
an hour for regular truckers on the
platforms and 16 cents and hour for
pickers, the men who sort the mer
chandise. Practically al) the work of
transferring freight from one road to
another is at a standstill, but it is
believed the different railroad com
panies will accede to the demands.
Troops in Cuba.
Washington, July 2.—There is no
intention on the part of the war de
partment to reduce the military force
in Cuba at the present time or in
the immediate future. The present
force of nearly 5,000 men is held in
Cuba on the recommendation of Gov
ernor General Wood, and the secre
tary will depend on General Wood’«
advice as to the reduction of the force.
Picnicker!
Upset.
Chicago, July 3.—One person was

were injured in a collision between an
electric car in Irving Park boulevard
and two wagons loaded with pic

Both wagons were over
