Riot on Dearborn Street.
In a riot tonight at Eighteenth and Dear
born streets Thomas McCracken, a striking
teamster, was stabbed In the heck and
beaten over the head by revolvers In the
hands of colored nonunion men. A number
of the colored men,' who were at work for
the EmDloyers' Teaming company, were
leaving the barns at 1817 Dearborn street,
when A crowd of strike picket hooted and
commenced throwing coal and stones. A
hand-to-hand fight resulted, during which
McCracken waa stabbed and beaten. A riot
call waa sent to the Twenty-second street
police station and when the officers reached
the scene a free fight was raging all over
the atreet Intersection. The police clubbed
right and left and soon scattered the fight
ers. McCracken waa foufid unconscious
when the others fled. No arrests were
made. . . -
In an attack made this evening upon five
coal wagons belonging to the Standard
Wash Coal company while they were pass
ing Harrison and Desplalnes streets, vol
leys of stones were hurled at them and
several of the jjollcemen and drivers were
struck. Michael Howard was seen throw.
Ing a stono and Sergeant Qulnlan made a
dash for him. Howard fled, with the off!
cer In hot pursuit. When the fugitive re
fused to halt Qulnlan fired and the bullet
struck Howard in the left hand. Cornelius
Callahan, an oiler employed by the city of
Chicago, Joined In the rioting and he was
struck on the head by a policeman's club
and hut scalp laid open for six Inches. The
wagons of the coal company were driven
by the officers of the corporation. When
W. T. DeUaente. president of the company,
found himself short of drivers this after
noon he announced that he would take the
first wagon ouf himself and called on other
officers of the company to volunteer. Mr.
Deltaente proceeded and behind him camo
wagons driven by M. C. O'Donnell, the
secretary; George Forbes, the treasurer,
and Charles Mansejl and Ira Johnson, head
salesmen. All of them were slightly bruised
in the fight. ' , .
A mob late this afternoon attacked a ped
dler named A. Mottlewlts as he was passing
the corner of Milwaukee and Western av
enues. A crowd stopped him and ordered
mm to snow nis union Button. He ex
plained that he owned his team and could
not therefore become a member of the
union. Dissatisfied with his explanation
the mob attacked him, beat him over the
head with bottles, cut his horse loose and
wrecked -ls wagon.
Feeling; Against Negroes.
The public feeling on the negro question
was extremely bad today and promised to
grow without any question as to the merits
or demerits of the strikers.
A considerable portion of the men of
the Employers Teaming association regret
mat negro strike breakers were ever
brought In. The greater portion of those
who have been used are said to have proven
Incapable. During the last two weeks more
than 1,000 negroes have been brought Into
the city to aid the Employers' Teaming as
sedation. Borne of those have brought
their families with them, sufficient to make
the negro Importations Into the city total
about 1.500. The numBcr who fcave already
quit the Teaming association' through
fright over the ' situation Is placed at 600,
a large number of whom are drifting about
the streats. It was aald today that the
employers had given notice to their agencies
that no further Importations of negroes
neea oe maae; insi oniy wnite men are
needed to take the places of the strikers.
Aside from, the ineffectiveness of many of
the colored men, the spectacle of street pro.
cessions of hundreds of Imported negroes
armed with heavy sticks, and of negro ca
van drivers from whose pockets butts
pistols eould be seen ostentatiously protrud
ing. seemed to Inflame more than anythln
else the ordinary peaceful aide of the city'
population. This was shown generally to
day more than any time previous by the
way in wnicn respectable men and women
howled at the Imported colored men. Yet
theie were frequent cries of "Go back
nome; fight a white man with a white
man.
Want No More Men.
ST. LOUIS, May 4.-A telegram was re
ceived today by an employment orranlza.
tlon here from the head of the employers'
organisation in inicago that no more
strike breakers are needed from here. The
employment organisation has sent 2,000
strike breakers to Chicago during the last
week.

welcome you to the seventh session of the
international Hallway congress. To eacn
and all of you I extend a cordial greeting.
xou who are accredited from foreign coun
tries need no assurance from me that the
American people welcome you with that
genuine and generous hosnltallty with
which you are ever pleased to receive
Americans.
iour assembling is always an event of
much significance, (or it brings together
men eminent in the political, economic and
transportation affairs of the world to de
liberate UDon themes which have a very
direct arid considerable bearing upon the
Interests of mankind.
The railway is essentially an Instrument
of our modern cllvllzatldn. There are
many men living who were borm prior to
the construction of the first railway, either
in England or the United States. It was
created to meet an Imperative demand and
Its growth has been one of the most mar
velous developments of recei) times. From
a local creation, to meet local necessities, it
nas expanded until It binds toaetner re
mote industrial centers. It crosses and re-
crosses continents and brines nearer to
each other the capitals of the world. It
tends to knit people together by the ties of
mutual respect, it nas pusnea iorwara
the frontiers of civilization and bronght
the wante places under cultivation. It has
had a pre fouiid influence upon the com
merce and customs of the people of the
entire world. It has become the artery
through which flows the world a commerce,
giving life and vitality .to countless com
munities and manifold industries. It IS
inextricably Woven into the social and
commercial life of millions ot the human
race.
Eqaallty of Sera-Ice Necessary. . .
Tfle railway, by Ita very nature, i Is
charged with great public duties. It is In
the highest sense a public servant and
must discharge its functions with impar
tiality, giving to all whom it serves iuat
treatment. EqualUy of service is the
predicate of good relations between the
railway and the public. It Is of the ut
most Importance that unjust favoritism
should not obtain, that rates should pe
open and enjoyed by all alike. Nothing
so quickly and surely lays the foundation
of distrust and discontent as secrecy,
where there should be publicity, as Inequal
ity wnere mere snoum De equality. Trans
portation charges must be fixed with a just
regard to the owners, the employes and
the public. The Interests of none can be
disregarded without ultimate Injury to all.
The specific subjects which Invite your
deliberations are of the utmost importance.
Among them are tnose wnicn see to pro
mote the comfort and security of the
traveling public and make more secure the
lives and limbs of the employes upon whose
skill and nd ty tne safety or tne person
and property of so many aepends. Con
sideration 01 ' principles ana pianH ror me
retirement and Insurance of employes and
workmen" Is In harmoy with the progres
sive spirit which has characterised the de
velopment of the interests in which you
are concerned. To provide some measure
of relief for those who are incapacitated
for further service by sccldent or the In
firmities of years. Is, In the highest de
gree, just and praiseworthy. Such relief
Is founded upon broad, equitable and hu
manitarian principles.
Stuyvesant neb's Address.
President Stuyvesant Fish of the Illinois'
Central and the American railway repre
sentative took the chair. Mr. Finn said-:
On bebalf of the American Railway asso
ciation, which has fur many years existed
among the railways of the United States, of
Canada and of Mexico, I have the honor
to welcome to the seventh session of the
International Raiiwuy congress and to the
first held elsewhere than In Europe the
delegates named by the governments and
by the railways of the turty-eight coun
tries here represented. Many of you have
crossed the Atlantic at an inclement sea
son and not a few . have crossed the Pa
cific ocean. Indeed, you have come from
SI! quarters - of the globe and from the
Isles of the sea. The occasion Is honored
not only by so large an attendance, but
also by the presence for the first, time as
adherents of the International Ra'lway
congress of delegatea appointed by his
majesty, the emperor of Germany, and by
his excellency, the president ot the re
public of Cuba. That in welcoming thetv
new adherents we are not unmindful o
our old and tried friends is shows by th
decorations of this room, which, if 1 mis
take not, Include the flag of each and every
nationality here represented.
While It Is undoubtedly true that Great
Britain was the birth place of the railway,
It Is equally true that almost from the
beginning the railways received their
greatest Impulse In this country.
In America the problem was to raise
cuDital sufficient to manage In some way
to provide mesns of transportation where
none existed, and very generally to do this
in advance or population anu inruugn
wilderness,, while in Europe the problem
was, with an abundance of capital, to
merely provide a better and cheaper means
of transportation which should supple
ment th cxistlna excellent highways and
canals. The eagerness of our people for
means or transportation inaucea mem 10
put up with a service and to endure condi
tions which would not for a moment have
hen tolerated In-more densely settled and
more highly organised countries; and our
foreign delegates win, as tney travel
through the county, I doubt not, be as
tonlalivd to see trains operated at grade
through the streets of populous towns and
cities. ,
Look to Europe lor lilarnt.
The welcome which we tender at this time
to the delegates, and especially thoas who
have come from Europe, is, if possible,
more earnest because, vast as has been ths
growth of the railroad system on this sids
the Atlantic, we in these newer countries
must now look more and more to the ex
perience of Europe for light In dealing with
the Droblema which are beginning to con
front us on account of our incresang
population and civilisation. This will in
volve a vest expenditure ot capital, and it
may be that when we shall have met and
overcome ail these difficulties, the capital
isation of our rsllwsys, which in the United
States is now M.lMi per mile, msy approach
that of the railways of Great brltaln,
which Is ii6fi.4l5, or. say 1277.475 per mile.
While I hardiy think we shall go that far.
I am certain there must be a very great
Increase abova the figures now prevailing
This hviuH w must now do what liiey
did at the outset provide second, thi d and
fourth tracks and separate, at iesst In the
tnalv ixmulKted towns and cities, th

Dinier on Way Home.
IMPORTANCE OF GREAT NORTHWEST
Montana, Washington and Idaho
Especially Astonish Those Who
Had Never Before Visited
Out There.
Representatives of the Chicago Commer
cial association made their concluding stop
Irt their tour ot the Important cities of the
northwest by enjoying the hospitality of
the Omaha Commercial club for a short
time last evening. The members of the
party were: F. P. Armbrustcr, Frederick
Bode, J. E. Detebaugh, John II. Hardin,
W. D. Haynle, Frank Hlbbard, W. F.
Hypes, E. U. Klmbark, James MacVeagh,
John McCarthy and John G. Miller. The
tour extended through North Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Utah,
Wyoming and Nebrasks. John Steel, chair
man, and the members of the entertain
ment committee ot the Commercial club
met the enthusiastic visitors at the Union
depot and escorted them to the Her Grand
hotel, where dinner was served. This left
but a short time for entertaining the visi
tors at the Commercial club, as their train
left for Chicago a few minutes after 8
o'clock.
But the time they had at their disposal
at the club was crowded with enthusiastic
greetings, cheers and other things, and
finding their lines oast In such pleasant
surroundings they reluctantly announced
that they were sorry to so soon leave for
the city ot high winds, and strikes. Many
of the party were acquainted with members
of the club and In the short time spent
here pleasant greetings cheered them for
the final plunge through the darkness.
Mr. Hypes, representative of Marshall
Field & Co., said that what they had
learned of the great strike now going on In
Chicago was In sharp contrast with the
bustling and harmonious activity that pre
vailed all through the northwest.
Opened Some Eyes.
"Many of us saw the numerous enterpris
ing cities ot the northwest for the first
time," he said, "and we were much aston
ished at the progress made as compared
even with what we have had opportunities
of learning through the newspapers. The
spirit and dash of those business men Is
something that must be observed at close
range to bo appreciated. And what a great
country It Is, and what a variety of re
sources. We realised how much in the
way of trade we In the east owe to those
pushing people. In Montana we stopped
at Butte and Helena, and while these cities
are mainly of interest as mining centers,
we had other opportunities of learning
something of the enormous prosperity of
the state In other sections. Not having
many manufactories. Montana must be a
great purchaser elsewhere. But they have
cattle, sheep, wool and lumber to sell to
us and they find no lack of buyers. What
struck us as being most significant was the
general character of the supplies the busi
ness houses require to meet the demands
of their customers. The people not only
want the best, but they want about every
thing that the eastern houses can furnish,
and our credits show that the people not
only buy good things, but they pay for
them, and in consequence the merchants
are doing a big and a safe business. The
same can be said of Washington and Ore
gon, although In the leading cities In those
states there are more manufactories and
a more' pretentious attempt to become
headquarters themselves for the supply of
the trade. '
Boost for Paclfi'l Trade.
"Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, being at
tidewater, have the cheap ocean freights
and the markets of the world to draw from.
It did not take a Chicago man long to-see
the tremendous advantage these cities will
have In securing a large share of the trade
of the orient. The natural resources of
the Surrounding country will unquestion
ably be exploited at a tremendous rate,
once peace Is restored and the advance of
China gains headway. I don't think anyone
can measure the effect China's awakening
will have upon the Pacific trade of the
United States. It appears to me that the
ultimate effect will be to make the raclfio
coast more and more independent of the
far east In manufactures. Just now the
trade will not justify anything like ade
quate m exploitation of their resources, but,
as I have suggested, once the orient
awakes, as It certainly will, we can only
speculate on the vast expansion our trade
will experience with those countries. Then
the coast will vie with the east in supply
ing this trade. We have seen enough of
the energy, enterprise, resourcefulness and
sound business methods to be convinced
that the business men ot the coast will not
fall to reap the cream of the harvest."
The trip now brought to a close began
on April 12, and the tourists look as If they
had been treated on the tat of the west
for their good humor was In no wise dulled
by the strain ' ot so much and so rapid
sightseeing. -

FIRE RECORD.
Hardware Store at Blair.
BLAIR, Neb., May 4. (Special Telegram.)
The large two-story and basement build
ing occupied by O. O. Keough with a 110,000
stock of hardwsre caught fire In the base
ment this evening, supposedly caused by
spontaneous combustion, there being a large
amount of coal and eight barrels of ma
chine and linseed oil In the basement. Sev
eral of the barrels were charred half
through the wood and the fire spread
rapidly over the celling of the basement,
making It difficult to get at the fire. The
firemen did noble work and carried out
gasoline and powder cans from the burning
building. The damage to ha building was
slight and on the goods the loss probably
will be 1400 or 3600. The Insurance carried
on the stock was 37.600. The fire depart
ment Is now working under two chiefs
and much bitter feeling exists between
Mayor Williams and the department. In
January the department elected Jones
Burcham as chief, and when Mr. Williams
was elected mayor he appointed J. R. Smith
as chief. All 111 feeling was laid aside to
day In fighting the Are, however.
Livery Barn at Fremont,

The proprietor, who waa sleeping In a room

after the alarm was given. He succeeded
In saving most of the horses, but five of his
own and one belonging to A. Zlotky were
burned. The building, which was one of
the oldest In the city, was owned by Pres
ton West, was valued at 13.000 and was
uninsured. Mr. Holts had 31,400 Insurance,
which will cover his loss.

"Mrs, Wiarsra of the Cahhage Patch"
at the Boyd. . !
This pretty play of life among .the humble
was given to the intense satisfaction of a
large audience at the Boyd last night. It
la one of those pieces for which familiarity
breeds a stronger liking, as Is testified by
the fact that its single appearance here this
season drew a much larger attendance than
did either of its three performances last
season. Madge Carr Cooke still heads the
long cast as tha cheerfully optimistic Mrs.
Wlggs and Is assisted by the same strong
company that supported her In the original
production, with the. exception of Miss Bes
sie Barlscale, who Is Lovey Mary Instead
of Mabel Taliaferro. Miss Barlscale acts
the part very acceptably, but It's an odds-
on bet that she can't say what Miss Talia
ferro did, that the hair's her own and not
a wig. Miss Cooke has Improved her per
formance but little, for she had left little
to be done In her first offering of It. The
others are of the same general excellence
and all the pathetic comedy of life In the
patch" Is brought out In a most artlstlo
manner. It ia hard to conceive any place
In which the action or presentation of the
piece could be Improvefl. The engagement
was for a single performance. p
"Beware of Men" at the Krag,
The first and what should be the last per
formance of a play bearing the nondescrlp
tlve title of "Beware of Men" was given at
the Krug last night, before a meager au
dience, and yet before more people than
should ever attend a performance so en
tirely unworthy. It Is not enough to plead
that such plays teach a moral lesson; they
do not, but they do bring innocent boys and
girls Into a elose familiarity with the low
est forms of vice, and should therefore be
suppressed. Based on the seduction of a
maiden, whose misdirected confidence In
her betrayer leads her to follow him, the
action -of the play Is directed through a
brothel, where the "professional" women
and abandoned men are paraded In revolt
ing realism, and finally by way of a city
mission house to an impossible forgiveness
and reconciliation. The company having
the piece in hand seems Incapable of giving
true value to the deeper sentiments sug
gested as a foil for the thinly veiled or
directly expressed evil of Its theme, but
does bring out in hideous reality the sin
thst lurks behind closed doors In large
cities. ""Beware of Men" belongs to a class
of recent melodramas that should not be
allowed on any stage. Morality does not
require It and decency revolts at It. The'
piece Is listed to remain at the Krug until
Saturday night, with a matinee on Satur
day. - 1 -ft
Concert nt Clifton Hill.

accompanied by Miss Pearl Cole.
The proceeds of the concert will go Into
