Minor disturbances occurred in different sections of the city, but no casualties have yet been reported. Chicago, May 3.—Blood began flowing early today in Chicago's riotridden streets. Sluggers, armed with hickory cancs, knives, brass knuckles and blackjacks, made indiscriminate attacks upon citizens without regard to age or calling of their victims. When told of the action of the senate on the bill and informed that the advocates of the measure were alleging that he had said he would sign it Governor lliggins said: Nevy York City,. May 3.—The casftr of Nan Patterson was given to the Jury at 1:05 this afternoon. Up to 3:30 p. m. no verdict had been reached.Chicago, May 3.—The strike situation in Chicago has assumed a peculiar aspect, and interests which have been opposing the striking teamsters are not. hs united as heretofore. The cfluse of this slight dissension is the Team Owners' association, which has contracts with the railroads and many of the large firms throughout the city to transfer their merchandise. Until now It was supposed that the Employers' association and their allies were firmly bound together in the fight for supremacy against the teamsters. Oneonta, N. Y., May 3.—While the Inhabitants of the pretty little village of Gilbertsville were enjoying their "beauty sleep'' a baud of masked robbers entered the village, cut all the telegraph and telephone wires, blew open the modern and supposedly burglar proof safe in the private bank of E. C. Brewer and stole about $10,000. All day long infantry and cavalry patrolled the streets, which were crowded with people, who did not spare criticism of what was generally termed wanton slaughter. The popular irritation could not be concealed. The soldiers were evidently nervous, and outbreaks which would have resulted in repetitions of Monday's terrible scenes were only averted by the evident desire of the authorities to prevent a clash, coupled with the fear inspired by the soldiers' bullets. The population is most bitter against the military, and the government officials expect many attempts at revenge on the officers commanding the troops. "That is not so. I never made any statement on the bill. A committee representing the Lockport and Ontario Tower company interests saw me at Lockport during the campaign last fall and asked me to make a statement In favor of the bill on the ground that it would make votes for me in that district. I declined to do so." Within two hours after daylight, eight men had been badly beaten, one of them a Catholic priest, who had just administered the last rites for the dying to another victim of the sluggers.New York, May 3.—Assistant District Attorney Rand occupied more than five hours In summing up the case against Nan Patterson, accused of the murder of Caesar Young. He did not finish until after 5 p. ni„ and the fate of the defendant was in doubt for another day. The residents of the village were awakened by an explosion followed in rapid succession by two more. Charles Daniels was the first man to get to the street. Near the bank he met a man who thrust a revolver into his face and ordered him to "git back home." He went. Soon after this persons began to rush from all parts of town to learn about the explosion. Some of them returned in compliance with orders similar to those received by Daniels and emphasized by the robber guard and his revolver. The Catholic priest who was beaten Is Rev. Father Elly, of St. Cecilia's church. He had gone to visit Thomas Atkins, who ha,d been terribly beaten by six negroes at Fortysixth street. * Besides the priest and Atkins four others were stabbed or beaten at the same place by the same gang, all of them being subsequently arrested. One of the victims Is in a hospital and not expected to live. Pie is William Rogers, stabbad several times in the back and otherwise injured. Atkins may die. "Deputy Superintendent Hunter assured us that his investigation would go to the bottom of any evils which may exist in the management of the Equitable Life. He was positive in his declaration. When we saw President Alexander we told him frankly that the policy holders of our .states were worried over the disclosures and that It was necessary for us to get first hand information. liCS assured us that he would aid us in every way possible." Mr. Rand's final effort was a strong one. That he was spurred by the attacks of Abraham Levy, leading counsel/for the defense, was proved by the particularity with which the charges of unfairness were answered. Once Mr. Hand was fairly overcome by his own earnestness, and a recess of ten minutes was taken. While he was speaking the defendant cowered In her chair, and at times evidently controlled herself with difficulty. The Team Owners' association, which employs none but union teamsters, flatly refused to make deliveries to any of the firms Involved in the strike when ordered to do so by the Employers' association. When the employers received this ultimatum they notified the team owners that unless the request that no discrimination be made in deliveries were granted an effort would be made to have all existing contracts between team owners and the business houses and the railroads canceled.

In the meantime some of the Gilbertsville people had made a dash for the telegraph and telephone offices in un attempt to communicate with the neighboring towns, hoping to intercept the burglars. The operators found only dead wires. Then plans for pursuit were made. Postmaster W. S. Boot and C. r. Root, his brother, started for Mouut Upton, the nearest railroad station, six miles away. Tliey had gone but half a mile when they came upon a team hitched to a telegraph pole. One of the horses had become entangled in the harness and thrown himself. The robbers apparently had made an attempt to right the harness in the darkness, but finally abandoned the effort and made off after smashing the vehicle. The caucus action is claimed to represent twenty-one senators, thirteen being present or represented in a bolt which preceded the caucus after a stormy conference lasting nearly four In each instance the money loss was not large. The most serious tire was at the Jenny Oil works in South Boston, where cotton waste and newspapers saturated with kerosene oil had been placed in one of the small buildings connected with the main plant in which was stored several hundred barrels of oil.

The situation is certainly very critical, with every promise of a sensational struggle when the bills come up in the senate, No Assistance Needed. The Situation In Crete, No Tips In Wisconsin. Laredo, Tex., May 3.—Mayor Sanchez of this city lias requested that announcement be made that no assistance is now needed and that all storm relief funds received will be returned to the donors. The mayor says that several wealthy residents will defray the expense of succoring needy persons. The appeal for aid was sent out, he says, at a time when the damage appeared to be worse than it really was. He expresses thanks to those who responded. London, May 3.—With reference to the dispatch from Rome giving a report of a serious insurrection in Crete, dispatches received here from Klianin do not record any new developments except that the foreign consuls in the island presented a note to the Cretan government demanding that it haul down the Grcelt flags from government buildings. This having been refused, a British detachment yesterday lowered the OVeek flags from the government house at Khania and at Retimo, rchoisting the Cretan flag with due honors.

It Is claimed that this law if enforced will put a stop to the giving of tips to porters, bootblacks or waiters. verely. Riot Lasted an Hjour. Prom Mount Upton word of the robbery was sent to all the neighboring towns. Posses were organized, but their efforts to locate the men have so far prpved futile. The search was continued long into tlie night. Mr. Hand took up Mr. Levy's charge of suppressed and distorted evidence. During a riot last night at Ilalstead and Erie streets, which lasted for an hour uud in which fully a thousand people were engaged, three policemen and three nonunion men were injured and twice as many rioters were clubbed. The riot commenced when four wagons of the Peabody Coal company. manned with nonunion men, left the Rlchter picture frame factory in Huron street after delivering coal. The wagons went south along Ilalstead street, and their appearance on that thoroughfare was the signal for the formation of a mob, which pressed closely around them, threatening the drivers. The escort of police was coinpolled several times to charge into the crowd and use their clubs. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. New York Stock Markets, furnished by M.

Minor disturbances occurred in different sections of the city, but no casualties have yet been reported. Chicago, May 3.—Blood began flowing early today in Chicago's riotridden streets. Sluggers, armed with hickory cancs, knives, brass knuckles and blackjacks, made indiscriminate attacks upon citizens without regard to age or calling of their victims. When told of the action of the senate on the bill and informed that the advocates of the measure were alleging that he had said he would sign it Governor lliggins said: Nevy York City,. May 3.—The casftr of Nan Patterson was given to the Jury at 1:05 this afternoon. Up to 3:30 p. m. no verdict had been reached.Chicago, May 3.—The strike situation in Chicago has assumed a peculiar aspect, and interests which have been opposing the striking teamsters are not. hs united as heretofore. The cfluse of this slight dissension is the Team Owners' association, which has contracts with the railroads and many of the large firms throughout the city to transfer their merchandise. Until now It was supposed that the Employers' association and their allies were firmly bound together in the fight for supremacy against the teamsters. Oneonta, N. Y., May 3.—While the Inhabitants of the pretty little village of Gilbertsville were enjoying their "beauty sleep'' a baud of masked robbers entered the village, cut all the telegraph and telephone wires, blew open the modern and supposedly burglar proof safe in the private bank of E. C. Brewer and stole about $10,000. All day long infantry and cavalry patrolled the streets, which were crowded with people, who did not spare criticism of what was generally termed wanton slaughter. The popular irritation could not be concealed. The soldiers were evidently nervous, and outbreaks which would have resulted in repetitions of Monday's terrible scenes were only averted by the evident desire of the authorities to prevent a clash, coupled with the fear inspired by the soldiers' bullets. The population is most bitter against the military, and the government officials expect many attempts at revenge on the officers commanding the troops. "That is not so. I never made any statement on the bill. A committee representing the Lockport and Ontario Tower company interests saw me at Lockport during the campaign last fall and asked me to make a statement In favor of the bill on the ground that it would make votes for me in that district. I declined to do so." Within two hours after daylight, eight men had been badly beaten, one of them a Catholic priest, who had just administered the last rites for the dying to another victim of the sluggers.New York, May 3.—Assistant District Attorney Rand occupied more than five hours In summing up the case against Nan Patterson, accused of the murder of Caesar Young. He did not finish until after 5 p. ni„ and the fate of the defendant was in doubt for another day. The residents of the village were awakened by an explosion followed in rapid succession by two more. Charles Daniels was the first man to get to the street. Near the bank he met a man who thrust a revolver into his face and ordered him to "git back home." He went. Soon after this persons began to rush from all parts of town to learn about the explosion. Some of them returned in compliance with orders similar to those received by Daniels and emphasized by the robber guard and his revolver. The Catholic priest who was beaten Is Rev. Father Elly, of St. Cecilia's church. He had gone to visit Thomas Atkins, who ha,d been terribly beaten by six negroes at Fortysixth street. * Besides the priest and Atkins four others were stabbed or beaten at the same place by the same gang, all of them being subsequently arrested. One of the victims Is in a hospital and not expected to live. Pie is William Rogers, stabbad several times in the back and otherwise injured. Atkins may die. "Deputy Superintendent Hunter assured us that his investigation would go to the bottom of any evils which may exist in the management of the Equitable Life. He was positive in his declaration. When we saw President Alexander we told him frankly that the policy holders of our .states were worried over the disclosures and that It was necessary for us to get first hand information. liCS assured us that he would aid us in every way possible." Mr. Rand's final effort was a strong one. That he was spurred by the attacks of Abraham Levy, leading counsel/for the defense, was proved by the particularity with which the charges of unfairness were answered. Once Mr. Hand was fairly overcome by his own earnestness, and a recess of ten minutes was taken. While he was speaking the defendant cowered In her chair, and at times evidently controlled herself with difficulty. The Team Owners' association, which employs none but union teamsters, flatly refused to make deliveries to any of the firms Involved in the strike when ordered to do so by the Employers' association. When the employers received this ultimatum they notified the team owners that unless the request that no discrimination be made in deliveries were granted an effort would be made to have all existing contracts between team owners and the business houses and the railroads canceled.

In the meantime some of the Gilbertsville people had made a dash for the telegraph and telephone offices in un attempt to communicate with the neighboring towns, hoping to intercept the burglars. The operators found only dead wires. Then plans for pursuit were made. Postmaster W. S. Boot and C. r. Root, his brother, started for Mouut Upton, the nearest railroad station, six miles away. Tliey had gone but half a mile when they came upon a team hitched to a telegraph pole. One of the horses had become entangled in the harness and thrown himself. The robbers apparently had made an attempt to right the harness in the darkness, but finally abandoned the effort and made off after smashing the vehicle. The caucus action is claimed to represent twenty-one senators, thirteen being present or represented in a bolt which preceded the caucus after a stormy conference lasting nearly four In each instance the money loss was not large. The most serious tire was at the Jenny Oil works in South Boston, where cotton waste and newspapers saturated with kerosene oil had been placed in one of the small buildings connected with the main plant in which was stored several hundred barrels of oil.

The situation is certainly very critical, with every promise of a sensational struggle when the bills come up in the senate, No Assistance Needed. The Situation In Crete, No Tips In Wisconsin. Laredo, Tex., May 3.—Mayor Sanchez of this city lias requested that announcement be made that no assistance is now needed and that all storm relief funds received will be returned to the donors. The mayor says that several wealthy residents will defray the expense of succoring needy persons. The appeal for aid was sent out, he says, at a time when the damage appeared to be worse than it really was. He expresses thanks to those who responded. London, May 3.—With reference to the dispatch from Rome giving a report of a serious insurrection in Crete, dispatches received here from Klianin do not record any new developments except that the foreign consuls in the island presented a note to the Cretan government demanding that it haul down the Grcelt flags from government buildings. This having been refused, a British detachment yesterday lowered the OVeek flags from the government house at Khania and at Retimo, rchoisting the Cretan flag with due honors. The population is remaining tranquil, A dispatch to a news agency from Khania says that I'rince George has notified the powers that he does not admit of the impossibility of the proposed union of Crete with Greece. Madison, Wis., May 3.—The Stout antigraft bill is now a law, the governor having affixed his signature to it.

It Is claimed that this law if enforced will put a stop to the giving of tips to porters, bootblacks or waiters. verely. Riot Lasted an Hjour. Prom Mount Upton word of the robbery was sent to all the neighboring towns. Posses were organized, but their efforts to locate the men have so far prpved futile. The search was continued long into tlie night. Mr. Hand took up Mr. Levy's charge of suppressed and distorted evidence. During a riot last night at Ilalstead and Erie streets, which lasted for an hour uud in which fully a thousand people were engaged, three policemen and three nonunion men were injured and twice as many rioters were clubbed. The riot commenced when four wagons of the Peabody Coal company. manned with nonunion men, left the Rlchter picture frame factory in Huron street after delivering coal. The wagons went south along Ilalstead street, and their appearance on that thoroughfare was the signal for the formation of a mob, which pressed closely around them, threatening the drivers. The escort of police was coinpolled several times to charge into the crowd and use their clubs. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. New York Stock Markets, furnished by M.
