STREET CAR STRIKE. Man j People Wounded by Fly ing Glass and Stones. Will Hermann F. Mnenttler, the Kef Assistant Chief Police, be Able to Control the Situation. Associated Preau DUnaioh. Chicago, Nov. 12. Constant ceues of disorder over a district approximately fifty square miles id exteut, resulted today from the maugaratiou of a strike by the employes of oue of the two priuoi pal surface street railway com pa Dies in Chicago. Along the lines wherever cars were started, strike sympathizes made desperate on slaughts, on the crews beginning at dawn of day and continuing as long as cars remained on tb tracks. The tie-up was made com plete. A number of cars were wreckde and that co persou was killed is on fault of the rioters. One man bad bis back broken and the first shot of the strike was tired at Went worth Avenue andWestSlxty-niuth street where a mob of eevjral bun dred persons tried to hold up train. Many persons, chif-lly pon-union streetcar men, were injared by flying stones or npltntered glass Two women were among those hnrt. Excepting a few dozen pasien gers who bad to 11 je from the cars the 800,000 daily patrons ot the company were forced to all sorts of other methods in order to get down town and back; .With faces and hands bleeding from the attacks of the strikers motormen.gripmeii and conductors who tried to run trams returned to the barns and refused to Jgo out agalu unless the trains bore pla tooDS ot police or patrol wagons were alongside. The police confined their efforts to seeing that the passage of cars from the barns was uuobetructed and that crowds iu the streets were quickly cleared This was done cruder orders from Mayor Carter H. Harrison, whose announced purpose was to preserve an impar tial attitude, taking sides neither for nor against the strikers or tbe street railway company, which though known as the Chicago City Railway, is a private corporation. the lines of which extend through the south side of the city, radiat ing from the business center. Developments regarding the at titude of the municipal adminis tration hinge largely upon a new official, Herman F.Sobuettler.who, today, under appointment from the mayor, assumed tne duties of assistantchief of police. Schuettler will be in direot charge of police arrangements during the oontest. Schuettler is the mau who tracked aud arrested Anarchist Louis Lin eg after the Haymarket riot aud subsequently sent Adolph Laetgert'.tbe wealthy sausage man, to die in the peniteutiary under conviction for wifa murder. Schuettler has a remarkable re cord for personal daring and as tuteness. ,- Before Nightfall President D. Q. Hamilton, and General Counsel CI isa, of the Railway company, af ter endeavoring to operate cars iu defiance of the strike of its train men, announced after a conference with Mayor Harmonthat the at tempt would be abandoned for the day. The railway oflioials declare that thirty percent of their em ployes are loyal and that if ac corded sufficient protection by the pohca department they will be able to man and operate cars. A further effort to run cars, each car accompanied by a rquad of police in a patrol wagon will, it is is ex pected, be made to-morrow. A The strike is the outgrowth of several efforts for increased wagos and exclusion of non ' anion em ployes. To-day.about 8LQ00 men, praotioaUy-the entire force of the company's wage earners were idle. 1 he number of men at any time running cars is but a small frac tion j)f the number usually at work. The company's stationary firemen, who have also presented demands upon the company for ro creaaed wages aud to whom the trainmen looked for assistance. have decliped to go 'cut. E. F.

"icalled the kitten, writes a correspondent, "who sprang from her basket where she had been ly ing with her motherland followed me into the uext room. . 1 he cat followed, growling warningly, and, taking it up by the neck, replaced it in the basket. Again I called it, and again it came at my call This time the mother, growling still more threateningly, followed us again ; this time she seized the kitten by the tail instead of the neck, evidently as a punishment, and pulled it ronghly along, the kitten mewiug helplessly. For a a third time 1 called, and onoe more it came to me ; but this time the mother was silent. She came. took 11 p kitten, dragged it off, and then began to bite it again aud again in order to secure its obodi ence. This method was successful and the next time I called it was in vain.''
