Attack Party of Americans and Serious
Fight Ensues.
ST. PAUL, Dec. "a special from Sioux
City, Ia, says: 4 serious riot occurred this
morning meas Trip, d. T., between Russian
Mennonites and Americans. A public sale was
had at the farm of a Russian named Sink, and
an American farmer named Merchant purchased
a dozen chickens. When ready to start home
he found two chickens missing, and complained
to Sink who told him TO take something of
equal value. He caught a goose and started
home, but was Overtaken by party of eight
Russians, who claimed the goose as their prop
erty. A wrangle ensued that attracted out
siders TO the scene, and soon a general fight
was in progress, in which some twenty men
were engaged, with the Russians as the agrees
sOrs. Two brothers, named johnson, who were
passing, joined in the melee with knives A
Russian named Mayer was stabbed, and he in
turn, split Charles Johnson's head with a neck
yoke, inficting a fatal injury. The same
weapon broke the arm of George Johnson, and
the knives were used TO slash up three other
Russians badly, but not fatally. The Ameri-
cans found the force opposing them too strong
and withdrew from the field. The wounded
Russians were taken care of by their cOmpan-
IONS and nothing can be learned from them,
owing to their clannish customs
The affair has created the most intense ex-
element in the neghborhood, where the ma
jorty OF the settlers are Russian. Officers are

Sanotihed AImsgiving.
The Christian World. ]

The DAYS of indiscriminate almsgiving
are, as we all know, past. Christian pru-
dence and Christian wisdom must work
side by side with Christian benefcence
Those do best their Masters work who
can enter fully into the circumstances
and needs of those whom they aid, who
can understand their lives and guide and
sympathize as well as aid. And we who
through business cannot do this, even if
we would, may at least aid humbly and
gladly those who do so better than our
selves; we may give at least ungrudgingly
TO others who have a better claim upon
our sympathy. Surely, if there is one
thing in the whole world which we can
be quite sure is dear to the heart of Him
who babe his disciples heal the sick, we
may be certain that it is giving and doing
all we can in such cause. By helping
to diminish the burden OF human suffering
we fulfill the law OF Christ to bear each
others burdens. With such sacrifice we
may be quite sure God is we'll pleased.

THERE WILL BE NO CARRIAGES.
In the Inaugural Parade Save Those of the
Retiring and Incoming Presidents.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Chairman Britain, of
the inaugural committee, says that it has been
practically determined to have no carriages in
the procession, except those for the occupancy
of the retiring and incoming presidents the
new vice-president and the joint congressional
committee.
Mr.. John c. Dougherty, secretary of the no.
tifcation committee which informed Gen. Har-
rison and Mr.. Morton of their nomination, has
written here that at least one half of the forty
seven members of the committee will be st the
Inauguration, and that they would like place
in line reserved for their carriages. Mr. Brit
tain saws that on account OF the great length of
the parade, it will be impracticable to allow
the members Of the committee to ride in the
procession. and that no place in line can be
given to any persons until about a week before
the 4th Of March, when the marshal will make
the assignment OF positions TO the various or
carnations TO be represented.
Word has been received from Colorado that
100 cowboys and band will leave Denver to
take part in the parade. They will be dressed
in the characteristic style of the plains and
will travel under the name of the Harrison and
Morton club of marching cowboys. The Fifth
Maryland regiment has also signited its inten-
ton 10 take part in the inaugural ceremonies.

AN INOIANlAN IN TROUBLE.
John j. Safely of Rockville Arrested in
New York City.


John J. Safely. broker and SPECTATOR of
Rockville, Ind. was arrested by deputy
sheriff yesterday and held in $4,000 bail.
Safely is well-known in New York as a pro-
moter of speculative enterprises in the far
West, and puts up at the Fifth Avenue hotel
when he is in town. He was arrested on an
order granted by Judge Truax in a suit begun
in the superior court by William Beard, New
York broker.
Beard alleged that ne made an oral agree
ment with Safely, George II. Sisson and Can
Burns, the last two of New York, in August,
1852, to purchase some lands and water rights
on the San Francisco river, and certain copper
mines known as "The Pine Tree Group" all at
Clifton, \. 7. The scheme was to buy these
properties at a low figure and sell them at a
good profit as soon thereafter as possible, the
profits to be evenly divided. In order 10 avoid
giving the owners of the property any reason
for thinking that there were a number of per-
sons anxious to secure it, it was agreed to have
the contracts made out in Safely's name He
secured the right to the properties between
August 1882 and January, 1888, for $4,000,
and it is alleged sold out at an advance of
100000, but did not pay Beard his share. The
suit is for $685..

Foreigners Are Here to stay.

The Rev. DR.. Macarthur.
We must remember that these foreign
ers are here, and here to stay for good or
for ILL., Why should they not if they come
to be true citizens of the republic and
members of the kingdom of God? But
when they come with a red flag in one
hand and dynamite bomb in the other,
quarantine them for the rest of their
natural life. Our duty is to evangelize
these foreigners; to preach to them the
gospel of the blessed Lord. Christ said ::
"Preach the gospel" Are we wiser than
Christ? Away with your Christless phi
lanthropists. Are you going to convert
the world to Robert ElsDlere? | want to
bring the unevangelized into closer rela-
ton to the church. We ought to bring
the foreign population to our own
churches. There should be no Bohe-
milan, no Italian churches, but all Amer
lean. Do You say they will not come to
your fine churches? That depends on
you. They will come if there is warm
welcome to greet them there.

KNOCKED OUT IN TWO ROUNDS.
a Short but Wicked Fight Between a
Couple of Ligatweights.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a prize fight that
lasted only two rounds took place in Mary
land, just over the district line, about 10
o'clock this morning. between Billy Young
the champion lightweight of the district, and
Charley Gainey of New York for a purse of
800. Young stripped at 14O and Carney, who
was not in good condition, at 100 pounds.
After little preliminary sparring, Young
landed a terrific swinging hit on Gainey's
right eye and followed it up with blow in
the mouth, which drew first blood Carney
presented a used-up appearance when he came
to the scratch for the second round, his right
eve being closed and his body badly bruised.
Young opened the round with a hard blow on
Gainey's good eye and then, with q swinging
right handler, knocked his opponent clear out.
Gainey did not rise in ten seconds and the
fight was awarded to Young.
There was an impression among some of the
spectators that Gainey was not knocked out,
but that he knew when he was whipped and
sought to avoid further punishment. There
was great laugh all around at the close of the
mill.

Huston Must Have Been Dreaming.


We are told that Mr.. Huston the charm an
OF the Indiana republican committee, has been
covered with ridicule because he has been
candidate for cabinet position" and tried to
get a resolution through the committee indoors
ing him for the place. We do not see any good
cause for the ridicule, however except the fact
that his campaign contribution was only $4,000,
with which he met some of the committees
bills. 1t is, of course, absurd for man of his
experience to expect cabinet position" for
so small sum as this, in these days when cleo
ton expenses are so heavy. lie must have
been dreaming when he thought of getting
even the war department for that sum. We
do not believe that it would, in the present
state of the market, bring anything better than
a South American mission, or possibly con-
sul-generalship.

SPANISH OUTRAGES
Imposed Upon an American Vessel at Porto
Rico bY Customs Onicials.

Rico by Customs Officials.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 27.-The brigantine
Joefa, which arrived at this port Tuesday from
Montege Bay, Jamaica, brings news of an out
rage suffered by that vessel at the hands of the
Spanish government. While dscharging a
cargo on her outward trip from New York to
Arroyo, Porto Rico, the Spanish custom officials
discovered that twenty packages of corn starch,
which were marked on the vessels manifest,
were missing.
After extended search the goods could not be
found, and the vessel was seized by the Span
ish authorities, who held her until a fine of
$4,000 was paid, although the value of the goods
in question did not exceed $50. The master
and crew were forced to suffer many indignities
at the hands OF the governor of the island and
officials acting under his authority. The au-
thOrlties offered to settle the matter if the cap
tain of the vessel could satisfactorily explain
the whereabouts of the missing packages.
After the fine had been paid it was ascertained
that that the missing goods were delivered by
mistake on board the ship JOsephus. which lay
next to the JOsefa in New York, but were
placed on the Josela's manifest Explanations
were made TO the Spanish authorities and the
return OF the fine was requested, but was re-
fused, and the vessel left Porto Rico to load
cargo elsewhere for this city.
James Brett OF New York managing owner
of the Josefa, has filed complaint against the
Spanish government with Secy. Bayard, and
asked that his immediate attention shall be
war ships Galena and Yantic shall be ordered
to continue their cruise TO Porto Rico and sum-
