Street by Street the Details of Police Hammered the Crowds Off the Highway Mounted Men Drove the People Against the Sides of Build ings Throughout All the Clubbing Not a Shot Was Fired by the Strlk ers or Their Friends. The police in Philadelphia fought and whipped 2",000 strikers and their sympathizers in the heart of the city. Ilroad street, from the Philadelphia National League park to the City hall, v-as a battle ground for two hours. The great thoroughfare waa choked with men and women who struggled to break down the police barricades and surround the city hall. Hundreds of them were pounded to the street stones, trampled by men and horses, Kicked and cuffed and whirled head long to aide streets, it is impossible to say how many were hurt. The po lice troubled to make few arrests, but utter the mob was split and broken and Its parts were driven helter skel ter Into the side streets, you saw scores of men, now and then a wo man, whose heads had been cut open by savage blows of a club, whose fnces were bloody, or who were nurs ing an arm paralyzed by the smash ing impact of the policeman's mace. Street Littered With Damaged Hats. Broad street was a curious spec tacle after the battle had roared it celf away and none were left but the flies of policemen on guard. For unnares the asphalt was littered with hats, men's hats and women's, head coverings that had been crushed and swept away In the driving rushes of the policemen. A truck load of dam aged mllinery might have been gath ered up. There were shoes that had been torn off by their owners and thrown at the police, and many of them were women's. The unions had obtained, as they paid, permission from President Hor ace Fogol of the Baseball club to use the park. Their final word was that the meeting would be held despite Clay or anybody else. It was a straight out defiance to the city au thorities, an Invitation to trouble. Suddenly the crowd realized that Pratt and Murphy with members of the committee' of ten had arrived in un automobile and were demanding admittance to the park. There were words between the union chiefs and the lieutenant on duty at the main gate of the park. J. Burwood Daly, a lawyer, insisted that President Fogel had promised the use of the park. The lieutenant said Impassively that ho was not taking orders from Fogel. March to City Hall. When Pratt's machine swept out Into the open somebody started the cry that the union chiefs were lead ing a march to the City hall. There was a yell raised, "On to the City hall." It was taken up thunderous ly all around the park. From all Fides the stampede started. The po licemen on duty at the park stayed where they were, except for a com pany of troopers who split the crowd and galloped on down Broad street. The multitude swept on without re sistance for several blocks. Then the van understood that Tay lor was blocking the way. For a dis tance of two miles from the baseball grounds to Spring Garden street he hod posted at short Intervals more than 1,000 policemen, while troops of police cavalry trotted up and down the sides of Broad street held in re serve. Taylor commanded In per son. Street by street the details of po lice directed by Taylor hammered the crowds off the public highways. The women displayed more spunk than the men. They were seen to claw at the feces of the bluecoals, and hurl shoes n1 Taylor's men. When they refused to be driven they were knocked down. It was not at all uncommon to see a woman pick herself up clutching at her head. STARTLING RISE IN PRICES As Shown In Bids Submitted to Pur chasing Steward of State Hospitals. Some startling figures are report ed by Mho New York state lunacy commission as shown in prices of certain staples in bids Just opened by the commission and the purchasing stewards of state hospitals for pur chases of provisions for the six dionths beginning Auril 1. Smoked meats, smoked fish, hams and shoulders were found to have ad vanced about 40 per cent, while the price of fresh beef had advanced con siderably but not in as great propor tion. The commission decided to re I'ucc the amount of hams and smoked meats to about one-half the usual quantity for this period and substi tute in their places milk and eggs in such proportion as to furnish an equivalent amount of nourishment. An Interesting feature of the cal culation necessary lies In the fact that fresh mrat suffers about 40 per cent shrinkage during cooking while hams Buffer abo'it 30 per cent shrinkage. In the substitution of eggs eight are con sidered an equivalent to a pound of meat. The flags on state buildings were ordered at half staff by Governor lluulies as a mark of respect to the memory of former United States Sena tor Thomas C. Piatt. BRLKEUP TWO FLIGHTS BY PAULHAN Wilbur Wright, Who Wat Present, 8aid Frenchman Used His Devices. Loula Paulhan, the French aviator, made two flights over the Jamaica race course, which were witnessed by several hundred Invited guests who had gono out on a special train. In the first flight he made two complete circuits of the course and on the sec ond trip bettered this slightly by mak ing a lap of a quarter on a third round. It was estimated by Wilbur Wright, who was present, that Paulhan had averaged a height of from 40 to 90 feet. It was impossible to keep the crowd in check and the aviator was constantly flying over the heads of the spectators who sent up a cheer er.ch time he Rwept the course. After the machine had been rolled back to its shed Clarence J. Shearn extended an invitation to Wilbur Wright and his counsel to come In and examine the flier. For the first time the two aviators met and shook hands. Through an interpreter Paul han explained the parte to Mr. Wright, who did not seem convinced that tho machine was so very different from his own. He said afterwards that in making the flight Paulhan had made use of all devices claimed as in fringement and had not restrained the use of any part of the apparatus. SUIT AGAINST LEISHMAN French Attorney Wants Balance on Matrimonial -Account. Pittsburg was treated to a sensation when It became known that United States Ambassador to Rome John C. A. Lelshman, former president of the Carnegie Steel company of Pittsburg and one of Andrew Carnegie's form er partners and advisers, has been sued by a prominent French attorney tor the balance of a bill peculiar. The legal firm of Dalzell, Fisher & Hawkins of Pittsburg representing Maitre O. B. Bedington, a counsellor of Paris, has issued a writ of foreign Attachment, against the personal bank account of Ambassador Lelshman in America, most of which is supposed to be carried In the Union Trust com pany of Pittsburg. Tho French attorney claims that the Pittsburg millionaire has not yet paid him in full for services rendered preliminary to securing a titled hus band for his daughter, Martha, who for the past three years has been Countess De Contaut Blron of Paris. Ambassador Lelshman has paid htm in part, the French attorney -admits, hut there Is yet J5.000 coming to him, he says, and failing to collect It in cither Italy or Paris, he has Invaded America. He sets forth that he went to great trouble in making a settle ment of a portion of the Pittsburger's fortune on the French count, before the latter married the Pittsburg beauty, and that he wants his pay. FIERCE FIRE IN JAMESTOWN Nearly Million Dollar Loss In Heart of Business District. Beginning Saturday night and end ing Monday morning, Jamestown was visited by a series of fires resulting In a total loss of $S00,0u0, the death of one man and the serious injury of three others. The dead: John Hanson, captain of fire police, crushed by falling wall. The injured: Alfred Shoesmith, skull fractured, will die; George King, Loth legs brnkec; Joel Obert, back hurt, internally Injured. Buildings destroyed: The Gokey factory building, the Gokey business block, the New Sherman House, the Fenton Hall block, the J. F. Brlggs Mock. The original fire broke out Saturday night in the Gokey factory building and the flames were believed to have been completely extinguished. At 2 o'clock Monday morning they broke out afreRh and communicated with the Gokey business block, the largest office and business block in the city. Within an hour the flames had con sumed the Gokey building, the Sher man House and had exhausted them selves In the Hall and Brlggs blocks. The fire also communicated with the Wellman block on Cherry street to the Sham block and Prendergast block on Main street, but was extin guished without serious damage to these. RATES ON MILK CARRIAGE Recent Advance by Railroads to Buf falo Declared Unreasonable. Holding milk is a food article of dally use, properly regarded as a ne cessity of life in all households, and as s""h must be deemed to come within the class of commodities which the whole public interest requires shall be transported by public carriers to con suming localities at low rates, the up s'ate public service commission. Sec ond district, has decided that the ad vance of cent per gallon In the rates on milk to Buffalo for distances tip to 75 miles from Buffalo and of 1 cent per gallon In rates on cream to Buffalo from the same distance, made by the sleam railroads entering that city. Is unreasonable and unjust, and that the rate 3hotild not exceed 1 cent per gallon In eight or ten gallons of milk and 2 'A cents per gallon on cream In five to ten gallon cans. The commission wholly sustains the complaints made by the Western New York Milk Producers' associa tion and the Association of Milk Dealers of the city of Buffalo against tho Delaware, Lackawanna and West cm, New1 York Central and Hi'dson River, Pennsylvania, Buffalo, Roches ter and Pittsburg, Erie and Buffalo & Susquehanna Railroad companies. RErn. ViuFTHELORDS Boseberv Would Have Second Ci.: i)v Purge Itself. Doing "'ith the Hereditary Right!; i J Vote Recommended by Tho;i LcrJships' Own Commit tee A;-,cil-.er Necessary Principle Was Election to Their Membership From the Outside Impending Dan ger of Single Irresponsible Chamber. London, March 15. The house of fords was crowded when Lord RoBe bery arose to Initiate the momentous debate on the reform of the house of lords. The former prime minister moved the following three resolu tions: 1. That a strong and efficient sec ond chamber Is not merely an integral part of the British constitution but is necessary to the well being of the state and the balance of parliament. 2. That a second chamber can best be obtained by reforming and recon stituting the house of lords. 3. That a necessary preliminary to such reform and reconstruction Is the acceptance of the principle that possession of a peerage shall no lon ger in itself give the right to sit and ote in the house of lords. Integral Part of the Constitution. At the outset of his argument Lord Rosebery declared that the house of lords had attracted to It what is most eminent in public life Its antiquity. As such it was a descendant of the Wltenagemot. It was an Integral part of the constitution. Its abolition, accorldng to Freeman, who was a great historian as well as a great Radical, Lord Rosebery said, would be the greatest of revolutions. He appealed to the greatest sove reign who reigned without the name of king Oliver Cromwell who said he would not govern without a second house. Then sketching the govern ment's proposals he pointed to the f;allery of the commons and asked: "H they do as they have threatened, of whom will this house be composed? What seli-respecting person would sit here if he could find a seat in any or dinary vestry? Who would sit in a house composed of puppets and crip ples? The whole country and Its in terests would be at the mercy of a chance majority. Any sudden Impulse or ebullition of momentary wrath such as swept the country In 1900." They were told that condemnation of the lords was the voice of the country. No one had a greater re spect for the voice of the people than he, but a redistribution would make the voice more effective. He Instanced the city of Kilkenny's 1,742 votes as contrasted with the 53,000 cast In South Essex. Each relumed one man but "the-voice of the people as coining from Kilkenny was quite as loud as from South Essex." He said that revolutions as a rule were not carried out by the voice of the people, but by a small and deter mined minority. The very house of commons that carried the resolution at the time of diaries I. was a mere rump, a fragment, of the original house. The execution of that unhap py monarch was carried out by a very small minority of the British people. In France the execution of Louis XVI. was not carried out either by France or by Paris, but by a comparatively small minority of the cabinet. Speak ing for himself, Lord Rosebery said that It was not the voice of the people that he dreaded, so far as revolution ary movements were concerned, but the voice of a small, determined and intrepid minority. Hereditary Right Cannot Be Defended. "There are two vital principles at slake," said his lordship, "ho vital that without their adoption It Is use less to touch the question of reform at all. The first question Is that of heredity the hereditary right to sit in this house and the doing away with which was the unanimous and spontaneous recommendation of your lordships' own committee. "The hereditary principle was not Inserted in the constitution until the Reformation. Until that time a ma jority of the peers did not sit by her editary right at all, but It is now a part of the constitution the most ob jectionable to the country, the most resented by the people at large. It Is the easiest principle to attack, the most difficult to defend. It Is Insuffi cient to point out the eminence of the house of lords. It has given us a great many more peers than are wanted." The second principle which he ask ed them to adopt, and which was es sential to any reform, was election to their membership from the outside. Nothing else, he contended, would give life and strength to the chamber, nothing else would give It that contact with national life and thought which was necessary to the strength of any chamber exe.clslng the functions wherewith they were endowed. The hereditary principle had not given, and coi'ld not give, the strength that was desired. He had not pro posed to add to the lords by popular election. That would only, make them a feeble understudy of the commons und moreover multiply the horrors of general elections. But the house of loids would derive new strength, new grace, new dignity, by association with the corporations, the county councils formed Into elective bodies all over the country. He urged their lordships to rerognlze and adopt these principles. INCREASED COST OF LIVING Brooms and Lemons Went Up on Ac count of Tariff, Says Sonnehlll. Washington, March 15. The in creased cost of brooms Is due direct ly to the tariff of two cents a pound on broom corn, imposed by the Payne Aldrich law, according to the testi mony of H. Sonnehlll, a Baltimore grocer, given before the senate com mittee that Is Investigating the high cost of livine. As Mr. Sonnehlll fig ures It, retailers pay 60 cents more I'tr dozen for brooms and the consum ers 10 cents more per broom as a result df the new tariff. Mr. Sonnehlll also averred that lemons have gone up $1 a box as a re sult of the new tariff. It was announced that on Thursday and Friday the committee will hear representatives of the independent meat packers. No steps have been Jaken to summon representatives of the packers Identified with the bo called beef trust because of the pro ceedings that, have been Instituted against them by the department of Justice. The committee fears they iiiltrht claim immunity because of their testimony. Captain .lames F. Oyster, a Wash ington dealer In butter and eggs, ad mitted that it is due to the Elgin board that uniformity of prices of but ter Is maintained In the butter market and that otherwise prices would be fixed In every community by local condition. Packers Ordered to Produce Books. Trenton, N. J.. March 15.

DISPUTED WORKING RULES Managers of Western Railroad Sys tems Will Not Submit Them to Arbitration. Chleafeo, March 13. General man agers representing Western rail sys- thems whose locomotive firemen have threatened to strike unless their de mands for arbitration of increased wages and changes in certain working conditions are granted, reiterated their refusal to submit disputed work ing rules to the offices of federal ar bitrators. At the same time they agnln agreed to arbitrate the wage question. Arbitration of the working rules Is refused on account of an agreement with the engineers' labor organizailon which would conflict, it Is said, if (he firemen's proposed changes were adopted. Question of a strike which would affect 250,000 employes of 50 roads Is now up to the representatives of the workers, who went into session at their headquarters In the Lexington hotel on the receipt of the communi cation from the road officials. Offi cials of the union refused to discuss the managers' dictum. FORFEITURE OF GRANTS Attorney General Expects That 3,000, 000 Acres Can Be Reclaimed. Washington, March 15.

Ga. DOCTOR'S RACE WITH DEATH 6tranger Staggers to Hotel Desk but Dies Before Oxygen Arrives. Pittsburg, March 15. A tall and haggard man with staring eyes walk ed softly down the stairs of the Mer chants' hotel, on Water street, a few hours before daybreak. He made his way to the desk, and tapping the night clerk lightly on the shoulder brought 1.1m out of a gentle doze. He told the startled clerk he was about to die and needed a physician. Gasping for breath he turned from the clerk and dragged himself pain fully across the room, where he felt on a couch, exhausted. The night ilerk at once sent for Dr. B. F. Mul lin. When the physician arrived the man on the couch was unable to apeak and the end was seemingly near. Restoratives were applied, but to no avail. Seeing that his patient did not re spond the doctor determined on heroic measurese. On tho chance that the man would be alive on his return he rushed to tho nearest drug store for a tank of oxygen. He returned in a few mo ments to find that all signs of life had fled. Signs of dissolution were already apparent. Oxygen was administered, but the doctor's race with death waa lost. Organic heart trouble, Dr. Mul lin said, killed him. Practically nothing is known of the stranger. He had been registered for seme time at the hotel under the name W. H. Smith. He was about 3 years old. Among his possessions were found a marine engineer's license, Issued in Cairo, III. Telegrams were sent there and to other parts of the country by the coroner's office, but no trace of his former residence has yet been found. The body lies at the morgue un claimed.
