THE CHICACO STRIKE.
The Strikers Quiet, But Sympathi
zers With Them Ugly.
A Collision With the Police in
Which Even Women's Heads
are Belted-
Ciiie.voo, Oct. D. The two great street
cur syctems of the west ami north Bides
ure now tied up. The strike on the west
sitle begun thin morning, as soon as the
last night car was run into t he barns.
For a time lat nilit it seemed as if this
new complication could be avoided and
the original strike s-ttled amicably, but
negotiations, which were conducted in
Mayor lloach".s olliee, failed, because the
company nn l nu n oui-i not agree on
the subject of wa. s. It is stated t lis
morning that the executive committee of
the employe: o;' the south side organi.i
tion lias t -ndere I t'l-j north and west
side strikers rinnnciul assistance, if neces
sary. In anticipation of a long struggle
and to guard ar tinst a possible oiitbri.uk.
the police foivi- is to be greatly increased.
About ap;!;;'.Uio!is for places on the
force are on lib: in the superintendent's
ofllce, and word has hi eu sent to all of
these men to report for duty today. A
largo fore of patrolmen will he distrib
uted over ths w -at side to look after the
railroad company's property.
All through the morning hours the
sidewalks vwre crowded with people on
foot going in both directions, which,
taken together, contains nearly three
fourths of the city's population. Extem
porized vehicles of all sorts, devoted to
the carrying of passengers, wero totally
inadequate to the work, of course, and
must continue to be so while the strike
lasts. It is announced that no attempt
will he made to run cirs in the west
division today. Information from all
the territory covered by the strike- is to
the effect thut the strikers arc perfectly
under control and that no outbreak at
any point is autit JijiJed.
The Situation Later.
Chicago, Oct. i. Sj far as the strikers
themselves are concerned, their promises,
made at the beginning of the strike, to
abstain from violence seems to have been
carried out; but the bitterness of feeling
toward tjie n$;tn 'i''he'ii1 Pf UjQ iies
appears to increase us Ijiue ji :j.-?e., and
the contagion gives cvidmoo oi's;)!v;idig
to outside elements in the population and
not under the strikers' control. Yesterday

renewed tKUy, au. I ihi aeiitonratiyas j i
increased, la tUo ttunAu cumUiitin
in the placing of obstructions on tlse track
and collissicus with the police. At
Garfield avenue un ryijLea ati-etj; tiie
first obstruct iou viii placed by a number
of boys, who laid a large plank across the
track and fastened it securely with iron
spikes. When s:x Farfield avenue cars
came from tliqr down t'jv-u tii- they
were stopped, the pqljce gqt put of ljc
patrol wagoa but did Ht offer to roiuove
the obstruction. The strikers immediately
surrounded the cars, and as a result of
their solicitations three of the new men
joined their raqka. Tbe success of this
RCtioQ led cther-5 tq follow this example,
and a riot resulted at the corner of Garfield
avenue and Orchard streets. The streets
were jammed with a howling mob and
tracks covered with obstructions. The
employes of the road endeavored to
remove the debris, but it was replaced as
fast as taken away. Fnaly the mob
UpcRU.e sa large and demonstrative that
the sergeant in command of the police
ordered a charge. Theofficer3,aggrayated
somewhat at -the stubbornness of the
people, responded with a will. They
made a rush and used their clubs freely.
Men and boys were h,it and even the
women were not spared, one wqman, who
yias particularly demonstrative, being
severely woundea by a club blow on the
head.

on the north side marked the ending of
the trip on Madison street this cveniug.
As the cars were approaching Western
avenue on the return a crowd surged
around them in such a compact mass
that it was impossible for the horses to
move. A plattoon of police forced a
way for the leading car, hut the following
was brought to a sudden stop by a
wooden wedge inseited in tli:; switch by
some person in I lie crowd. In a moment
after its stop the vicinity was pandemo
mum. Stones and sticks were hurled at
the car and the air rang with cuisis. A
(lying brick caught Assistant Supt. N'lgcl
who was driving the car. in the stomach.
He and the conductor drew revolvers but
the police disarmed them. Nagjl left
tlie car and was :.tt i( k 'd by a drunken
Xortli western switi liiiiu.ii, who had to be
severely beaten to be subdued. Others
were scare iy less determined, and but
for the fact that all appeared to be
unarmed the fray would hardly have
been finished without loss of life.
HARD ON THE MINISTER.
UU Poor Pay for Special Services A Pew
IlinU.
Those old questions concerning paying
the minister for such special services as
confirmations, baptisms, weddinga and
funeral services are again up for agitation
and discussion. People are to be found
who think not only tliat a minister ought
to work for almost nothing and find him
self, but that he ought to include all
these special services in the work he does
for his regular salary. It is hard on the
ordinary minister. As to tho few minis
ters who receive princely salaries, their
fees are large in proportion. People who
expect special services of them generally
do the fair thing as to compensation.
Such special services as ought to be per
formed in church when the congregation
Is assembled are usually considered part
of a minister's regular duty. Should a
minister be called to a private house to bap
tize a baby there Is an evident propriety
in making him a present of some kind in
return for his kindness and as a compen
sation for his trouble. It may bo In cash,
or it may be some acceptable article ' for
tabh)' i$!i"or for household decoration.
People who give books to ministers gen
erally make the mistake of selecting some
book which tho minister does not want.
Somo good people who recently gave their
pastor a copy of the Bible did not stop to
think that be alreadv bad in Ids library
about fifteen copies in various ctylej and
language? . ' ' -
in wedding fees it may safely be said
that" the man who gives none is, ft jnan
felpw, not wort hy to hve a good wife,
llo who pays only a dollar or two is not
much better, unless his abject poverty is
the cause of thesmallnessof the fee. Why
a minister should be expected to attend
and conduct a funeral wit lv";i craroei
hard to guess. Ii is qujte ao;- v&V(j worJt;

lq 'a v.ord, the minister ought to boas
squarely dealt with as any other man of
any profession or calling who renders ser
vieo of any kind.

preacher his money would &eom, a-very
simple thing. Yec tbero ire many phuvch.

supposed t.h- lue trlsurt.r proraptiy
uands him a cheek on pay day. But i is
in regard to the minister who happens, to.
be the "supply" for a Sunday or two tliat
embarrassment sometimes exists. Soma
invess the treasurer happens lo bo absent,
especially in summer. Ilis mind has been
so full or preparation for bis own vacation
that he has gone away without thinking
of leaving the necessary cash for the min
ister's fee. The minister feels bashful
about asking for it. With a blank look
on bis face, and with possibly a heartfelt
vacancy in bis collapsible ppeketbook, be
sadly departs, hoping, that somebody will
think pt' the matter and send him the price
of his day's labor. In a week or two it
comes by mail; perhaps with an apology;
perhaps as a matter of course.
There are cases in which the treasurer
comes to the supplying minister after the
service, and just when some of the chief
people of the church are shaking hand
with him and telling him how greatly
tbev were pleased with the sermon. With
a show of orftcial importance, and with a
descending smile on the preacher, the.
treasurer bands pyer the fee n sight of all
whQ are present. The idea conveyed by
this proceeding is, "I'm treasurer, you're
preacher; you've been preaching for
money. Here, take your pa v and fro."

What Milit Happen In India.
Thcra is a secrecy among Orientals
which is rarely equaled among Europeans.
TLey live so entirely apart and their
manners and customs are so totally oppo
site to those of the white masters of India
that a political movement may bo on foot
and have permeated the masses before we
are thoroughly aware of its importance.
Thus any outbreak would bo sudden and
unexpected. Although life and property
under British rule is safeguarded bevond
all precedent in Oriental history, tho"rac
animosity exists, nr. 1 ra ,L":o .;;. ' ;
obeyed because iuuia is not strong enougn
to resist. The dark skinned masses will
never love their white conquerors. This
is a fact which should be ever present to
the eyes of our administrators. We rule
because we are supposed to possess tho
power to enforce obedience; wo are
obeyed because of the disintegrating force
of caste prejudices, which prevent con
certed action among the Indian races.
Were the 250,000,000 unanimous, their
united action would turn us out. And
still wo sleep unsuspiciously upon the
slope of the volcano without anxiety or
care.
Upon a dark midnight twenty roofs
might suddenly burst into Came at widely
spread intervals in the cantonments of Jub
bulpur. A score of natives with bottles
of petroleum to throw upon ihe thatch
might simultaneously ignite the principal
bungalows of tho station, and a general
attack might be made during the confusion-
The "alarm" would sound in bar
racks, and officers would be compelled to
hurry to their posts, without a place of
refuge for their wives and children. The
railway station would be attacked and the
rolling stock carried off at the moment of
the outbreak; the cantonments would be
Invested by the rebels, without orotoction
of any kind for th defenders, and with
out the possibility of retreat. This is not
only a possibility, but a very obvious con
tingency, and yet we live in a fool's para
