These firms are two of the largest In the trade, and are battling in the front row of the employers1 association against the strikers' demand. When their em ployes tried to . enter the shops they were sun ounded by the strikers, who forbade them, with vehement ges ticulations, to enter. Some ! were frightened away by the crowd and es caped, while those who persisted in the effort to enter the shops were 6eized and hustled away by force. In afew minutes Broadway, for iwo blocks, was the scene of a dozen running fights. For a short lime the strikers had it all their own way, but soon the assailed men pluckily fough back. As a con sequence, damaged heads among the strikers were plentiful. The working cloak-makers, however, generally got the worst of it. Around Myer and and Jonassea'8 shops the battle raged most furiously. A dozen strikers caught Charles Battle, stock clerk, and dragged him backward off the steps and maltreated him. Joseph Ler burger, buyer for the house, was beaten; An old operator,: named Qulncy, was set upon and so badly beaten that he had to be removed to his home in a cab.

The only weapons used being fists and clubbed umbrellas. M When the police arrived in force they had no difficult In dispersing the mob. They used their clubs freely: Mr. Moercraft, of the cloak firm, said he had no idea that violence would be used. He had supplied the places of the strikers, he said, and work was pro gressing as usual, j Conference on the Silver Bill.

It was decided that the next meeting of the commission should be held October 8th, unlets sooner convened by the president. The - Journal says that conflict of authority as to the appointment of a director general of the fair has arisen between the nationfal commission and the local board of lirectors. , The lat ter claim the right, under the articles of incorporation, passed by the State of nifnois, while the former claim authority binder the act of Congress in relation to the fair. The Journal had interviews with a number of the com missioners on the subject, the general concensus of whose views, are to the effect that, while the act does not give the authority in express terms, It does so by implication. : I .

A deputation of mem bers of the Chamber ol Deputies repre senting the departments of FinUtere, Cotes du Nord and Loire Infereure, called upon M. Uo:he,mInUter of com merce, to-day and urged that the gov ernment maintain 'the law prohibiting the importation of American lard. M. Roche replied that the vote on the McKinley bill had changed France's commercial positi an toward America. The prohibition ol the importation of American lard, he said, might have been one of the motives for the passing of the McKinley o il. The question of the admission of lard has become a secondary question aa compared with the whole trade between France and America: but apaik from what the gov ernment might decide upon after fur ther negotiation with America, France could nou at present meet America's avowal of an economic war by concessions.

It ha been assumed by this administration and jby others, that they could be brought here and ' carried through the country In sort of spccatcular exhibition at public expeoe;that we could, by such means, secure their trade. 1 have had that article read as a communication published all over the country and in South America to show that the men who came hero from South America are among the keenest, shrewdest and most farseclng merchants of the world. They I are men who control the coffee trade. They are enlarging their cattle trade so that they will soon become ri vals In the dressed meat trade with the most enterprising citizens of the United States. I wanted to show that they understood their interests; that they Intend to follow them.
