successfully ran a gauntlet of missiles
thrmvn from the roofs of houses only
to run into a can of nltro-glyeorine
which exploded with terrific force. The
rear platfrm was torn, off and the
flooring wrenched from It? fastenings.
The crow was not injured, but em-
erged from the shattered ruin with
their pistols drawn and began firing ut
what they thought was a couple of
men crouching as If to hide themselves
behind a small billboard. The explo
sion was the signal for renewing the
attack from the house-tops and alleys.
The troops hurrying on horseback to
the scene were bombarded with giant
llrerrackers. One of these exploded
with such force that tho mount of ono
of tho troopers was knocked over; in
his fall carylnrg with him two other

There were no passengers aboard and
the conductor and motorman escaped

but with one exception they were with
out serious results. In the death of
Henry Cornzwelt, slain by the bullet
fired by Ralph P, Haw-ley, u conduc
tor on tho Broadway line, is recorded
the Hist fatality of the strike.
Shortly after noon Hnwlcy's car ap
proached Orange street and was beset
by u crowd of men and boys. Cornz
welt, the 9-year-oId son of a butcher,
was astride a horse and rode to the
side of the cur, keeping pace with It
for some distance.
Various stories are told as to what
passed between the conductor and the
boy, but the mob was suddenly called
to its senses by tho sight of Hawley.
who Jumped to the street and started
in pursuit of Cornzwelt.
The latter, closely followed by tho
pursuer, turned up Perry street. At
Woodland aienuo the latter pulled ids
revolver nnd fired. His victim fell,
fatally wounded with a ghastly wound
in the left temple and died soon nfter

The crowd which before the incident
had been demonstrative was awed by
the seriousness of the affair and per
mitted the conductor to walk back to
his car. He was arrested and taken
to tho station, where a charge of mur
der was entered against him. When
tho car returned In charge of another
man and laden with police thousands
of people were crowded around the
fatal stop. The track was blockaded
and the stalled cars bombarded with
stones, pieces of brick and sticks of
.wood. The police managed by dint of
using their clubs to clear tho way af
ter a delay of about half an hour.

more troops und ns n eonseouenro nil
the available military force In Clove

companies of the Tenth Ohio Infantry
and L'Overturo miles.
With the addition of tho organiza

opinion of local military men will be
sufficient to cope with tho strike suc
cessfully, but if there are not the gov

without delay.
About !) o'clock last night a subur
ban car was blown un bcwcc,i Wick
lle and Willoughby, about fifteen miles

OUR NEW TREATY
WITH FRANCE
THE RECIPROCITY NEGOTIA
TIONS ARE COMPLETED.
Brought to a Successful Close by Am
bassador Cnmbou and Commis
sioner Kasson Will Place tho
United States son Footing with
Great Britain and Germany.
Washington, July 21. The long pend
ing reciprocity negotiations between
the United Stntes and France were
brought to a successful close at tho
state department Into this afternoon,
when Ambassador Cambon, in behalf
of France, and Commissioner Kasson.
In behalf of the Pulled States, alllxed
their signatures to the reciprocity
treaty. It Is by far the most Impor
tant treaty concluded under the reci
procity provisions of the DIngley law
and the only one affecting the trade
with a larg" commercial nation. The ne
gotiations were marked by rather sharp
and long continued discussions which
continued up to the time the signa
tures were placed on the document.
In the end a spirit of compromise pre
vailed and each side yielded some
thing. As a whole, both sides express
satisfaction with the results secured,
for while the compromise necessitated
some minor sacilflces the general ef
fect of the treaty will be to encourage
commerce between the two countries.
The treaty will result In placing
the products of the Fulled Stntes on
the same basis In Frame as products
of Great Britain nnd Germnnv.
At present these countries have tho
minimum French rate, while the Amer
icans goods, with few exceptions, have
had to pay the maximum rate.
The negotiations ended today were
begun nearly two years ago by M.
Patenotre, then ambassador from
France. When he was succeeded by
M. Cambon the latter took up the ne
gotiations nnd for a time there was
prospects of concluding a treaty, but
the delays occurred and In order to
close the matter the French authori
ties sent from Paris M. charpentler,
a trade expert, as special reciprocity
delegate.
Ambassador Cambon will leave for
Paris in about a week, carrying with
lilm the French draft of the treaty.
The French treaty is the last of tin
Instruments of this kind and the treaty
work under the DIngley net Is now
brought to a close. Six tientles have
been made, nil save that with Franco
relating to the British West India isl
ands. STARVING MINERS RETURN.

hundred sick nnd starving still strug
gling along the I.iard and Polly riv
ers. Dining the past winter It Is es
timated that fifty dead of scurvy nnd
as many more were estimated, which
others returned to Edmonton.
Strong language is used condemning
the misrepresentations sent out by
agents of the transportation nnd trad
ing companies operating at and about
Edmonton, as well as the Canadlun
officials, who said the route was a
practicable one. A majority of the
survivors are without funds. The
majority are American citizens and
the local authorities are notifying tho

IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
Discussed by Members of the Indus
trial Commission To Guard
Against Disease,
New- York, July 24. The sub-committee
of the Industrial commission
met here today to investigate the 1m
mlgintlon question. Only three mem
bers wen' piesent, ex-Congressman
John JI. Far.iihnr, of Buffalo; Ellison
A. Smythe, of North Carolina, and Col
onel Albert ( lark. ofMSoston. Senator
Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and
Congressman Livingston, of Georgia,
were unable ti attend.
Commissioner of immigration Thos.
Fitchie was examined. He explained
the working of the immigration law In
detail. He spoke of the great care tak
en In the examination of the new arri
vals as regards their moral, physical
and financial condition. Nc.twlths.tand
Ing this the commissioner stated that
many persons were undoubtedly receiv
ed who were suffering from dangerous
contnplous discuses. Ho mentioned tho
case of a woman who artlved here in
the steerage of a French line steam
ship and who was suffering from tra
choma, a dangerous contagious disease.
She was deported, but arrived here
again on the next trip of the vessel in
tho second cabin, and again was sent
back.
Mr. Fitchie suggested that the law
be changed so ns to Impose line on any
company landing or attempting to land
any passengers suffering from a con
tagious disease. He believed that If
a specific fine were Imposed for each
violation of the law the steamship
companies would be more careful. Nine
per cent, of one ship load of Immi
grants, he said, were found desirable
and ordered deported.
Jlr. Fitchie declared that sixty-five
cases of trachoma were detected In a
single week, besides ninny cases of
favus, another dangerous contagious
disease. He urged a more rigid medi
cal examination at the port of em
barkation. Jlr. Fitchie was asked whether ho
found the operation of the civil ser-v
vice law beneficial In his department.
"Emphatically no," ho said. "Our
department Is a peculiar one, nnd 1 do
not believe any examination discloses
the tfuulltles needed In many of our
employes. Honesty, determination
and experience are a thousand times
more serviceable that civil service ex
amination." To Colonel Clark tho commissioner
said he believed It would be a good
thing If all the onicers In the depart
ment wero taken out of tho civil ser
vice. To a question as to how good
men were to be protected under such
a condition of affairs, Jlr. Fitchie said
he believed the appointing power would
protect them.

erous views of Its august Initiator, tho
conference has drawn up for the ap
proval of the respective governments
the series of conventions and declara
tions appended: .
"Convention for pacific settlement of
International disputes.
"Convention concerning the laws nnd
customs of war on land.
"Convention for tho ndoptlon of laws
against the use of asphyxiation or
deleterious gases from balloon projec
tiles, nnd for the prohibition of the
use of bullets that easily expand In
the human body."
The final contains five expressions
of opinion ns follows:
"The conference considers that limi
tations of the military charges which
nt present oppress the world are great
ly to be desired for the Increase of the
material and moral welfare of man
kind. "The conference expresses the opin
ion that the question of the rights and
duties of neutrals should be Inscribed
In the programme of a conference to be
held ut an early date.
"The conference express the opinion
that questions relative to the type and

which will be decided upon tomorrow.
Tho American delegates met today
and asked that the word "duty" In ar
ticle 27 be fully defined so thnt the
word mav In no ense Imply any ob
ligation on the part of the Fnlted
States to Interfere In European affairs
and vice versa.
The discussion among the French
delegates who framed the article and
the Americans lasted several hours.
Efforts are now being made to find a
suitable word to substitute for "duty"
which will meet the wishes of the
American delegates without weakening
the purport of the article.
We May Use the Sum Dum.
Washington, July 24. The Fnlted
States will not be bound by the re
ported decision of The Hague confer
ence to prohibit the use of dum-dum
bullets In warfare. So far we have
not been obliged to resort to the use
of this bullet, but the ordnance otllcers
have been making experiments to se
cure an increased "stopping" effect
for the small calibre ball used In the
Krag-Jnrgenson and these experiments
have proceeded soniewhnt on the lines
of the dum-dum bullet. The specific
reason why Captain Crozler and the
lemalnder of the American delegates
voted against the pToposal to prohibit
the use of the dum-dum wns because
their genera! instructions forbade them
to pledge this government to any line
of action that would retard tho de
velopment of Inventive genius In war
fare. Adhesion to the protocols Is
voluntary. Great Britain. It Is under
stodd, also refused to prohibit the usa
of the dum-dum bullet.
