4 RACE WAR INAUeURATsD NEAR ST.
LOUIS.
Wild Scenes Of Excitement Caused BY Charge
Americans on an Italian Labor Camp-&an?
Arrests Made by the POlice-The Italian
0OrSul Indignant.

ST.. LOUIS, JuRe 22.-A race riot be-
tween laborers employed by Contractor
Workley at Hemans camp, at the Chain
OF Rocks, a point about five miles up
the river, where the new water works
are being constructed, occurred be-
tween one and two o'clock Sunday
morning, in which an italian was dan
gorously stabbed, twenty-five Of his
fellow workmen driven from the camp,
their valuableS and money confScated
by the gang of Americans and other
laborers making the attack, and race
panic inaugurated. The riot was
primarily caused by the admit
tance in camp of a lot of
Italian laborers, and the report that
Contractor Workley had gone to Chi
cago for more. All Saturday a feeling
Of revolt against the employment of
Italian laborers had been gaining in
strength and bitterness. AS soon as
the laborers were paid off in the eve
ming they congregated as usual at Sa-
loon Just outside the city limits, where
bad whisky is dealt out 10 the men who
pass the time in gambling away their
hard-earned money. About one o'clock
Sunday morning the gambling party
broke up, and the sixty or more men,
crazy drunk. started for their sleeping
quarters. On the way over man
named Wm. p. Blair, it is alleged,
sprang the idea Of driving out
the Dagos." 1t took like wild fire and
with muttered curses against the ltal-
ians, the drunken mob hurried toward
the camp. 'D-d the DagoS." This
was the cry with which the attack be-
gun on the sleeping Italians. The
drunken crowd spraug into the tent
amidst the foreigners, armed with
sticks, clubs, knives and whatever else
they could lay their hands on. The
fight did not last long. The Italians
were at too great disadvantage, and
after brief resistance, they fed in
terror, leaving behind all their belong
ingS.
They carried away one of their com
rades named Catalize Francisco danger
opSly wounded. The Italians made
their way to this city where they report
cd the matter to the police. At the
camp their departure was followed by a
scene of pillage. Their valises, bundles
and packages wer broken open and the
contents taken possession OF.
TIE police at once began rigid in
vestigation, and the following arrests
were made: Edward Manley. John II.
Jones, Michcal CasSell, VIM. r. Blair,
VIM. c. Brooks, Fred Leader and John
Shillor. These men profess ignorance
of the attack on the Italians, and say
they were awakened by cOmmotion,
and merely aided in driving from camp
the disturbers of their slumbers. One
OF the assaulted parties, however, has
identified two of the men arrested. ltal-
ian Consul Dominica Ginnochie is indig-
nant over the attack on his countrymen
and will doubtless enter into prelmi-
nary CORRESPONDENCE with his Govern
ment on the subject. He has demanded
of the Chief of Police protection for the
Italians, and also an immediate official
INVESTIGATION Of the riot.

MAKING A FIGHT.
Phmbo Couzins Files Voucher and a
Brief.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 22.-Miss
Phoebe w. Couzins, filed a voucher for
salary for May as Secretary of the
Board of Lady Managers of the World S
Fair with assistant Sec. Nettleton at the
Treasury Department, with a brief in
support of her claim. The case is re-
viewed in all its bearings and an elab-
crate argument is presented
to show that Miss Couzins is
still the legal Secretary of the
Board of Lady Managers 1t is
contended that while the commissions
had the power to prescribe the duties Of
the Board, it could not control, direct,
or supervise the Board in the eQerciSe Of
its powers nor in the agencies by which
or the methods in which that board
would perform the duties prescribed by
the commission" II is asserted that
the executive committee OF the board rs
constituted sis the mere and utterly ir-
responsible creation Of the president Of
the board"
Assistant Secretary Nettleton says
the department will take 10 action in
the matter until the status OF Miss
Couzins has been determined by the
courts

4 CENSUS SENSATION.
The Department Said to be Crippled, and
Porter Anxious to Resign.


WASHINGTON, June 22.-The work Of
the Census Office is practically at a
standstill, and there is a strong intima-
ton that Superintendent Porter is about
to step down and out. 1t is even said
that his resignation has already
been written and that it is
now in the hands of his friends.
In some quarters it is stated that Mr..
Porter'S contemplated retirement is at
the request of President Harrison, who
has been greatly annoyed at the persis-
tent attacks made on the accuracy of
the census, especially in the Northwest,
where it is generally discredited.
While the Presidents criticism may
have had an influence in shaping Mr..
Porter'S decision, the moving cause of
his retirement is that Mr.. Porter has
gotten himself so thoroughly swamped
that he is anxious TO retire before the
true condition of affairs IS exploited.
When he started in Porter had con-
siderable reputation as statlstician.
He had been a free trader until he
found that 1t would be to his advantage
to change his political coat and accept
trust from the Republican party.
As protectionist he out'Mckinleyed
Mckinley. When he was appointed
Superintendent Of the Census he agreed
TO make the figures prove that the tariff
walls could not be raised high enough,
and that taxation was the supreme
blessing Of the hour. He decided to in
crease his prestige by completing the
work OF the census In half the time con-
sumed by previous superintendents.
With an appropriation OF So, 100000 at
his back he threw open the doors and
every man, woman or child whom Il Re
publican politician wanted appointed
was given a JOB. The Census Office be-
came the dumping ground for office
seekers.
With 1000 clerks at work at Wash
ngton and $4,000 enumerat0rs in the
held. ohe work starred Of with L rush
and a boom year ago. Accuracy, how
ever, was made subScrvient 30 speed.
In the first place Porter was under con-
tract to finish the count in time for the
last Congress to make the decennial
Congressional appointment. That he
accomplished. Until acCuple OF weeks
ago things went on with a whirl. At
that tiwe it was suddenly discovered
that the appropriation had been run
through with. Either work had to
cease or else more money had to be
forthcoming,
Porter contemplated the use of the
million dollars appropriated for mort
gage and Indebtedness statistics, but
finding that that that was n special APP
preparation. and could not be touched,
he set the guIotine to work looping off
official heads. over 1000 clerks have
been discharged within the past two
weeks, and q thousand more will go be-
fore July l.
Every division has been crippled, and
in many the work is absolutely blocked.
In short, Superintendent Porter is
swamped He don't know how to run
a big bureau without money. He has
exhausted tho appropriation, and now
he is anxious to turn over tho census
work TO some one else.
1t is also likely that the administra.
ton OF his bureau will be subjected to a
scathing investigation by the next Con-
QreSS

PARNELL's SECRETARY DENIES 1T.
Never Hired Houses for Improper Pur-
poses for Parnell.

CORK, June 22.-The action for libel
brought by Mr.. Henry Campbell, M. F.,
for South Fermanagh, and private sec
retary to Mr.. Parnell, against the Cork
Herald for stating that while other
members Of Parliament were attending
to their duties, he, Mr.. Campbell, was
hiring houses for immoral purposes for
Mr.. Parnell, was commenced to-day.
The suit attracts considerable interest
here from the fact that it was
expected that some lively testimony
would be extracted from these witness
ses. Mr.. Campbell, during the early
stages Of the days proceedings, made
statements to the effect that he had
never In any way interested himself in
or peIfol med any duties In connection
with Mr.. Parnell's private affairs.
Asked why he did not at an earlier date
investigate the charges brought by the
Cork Herald, Mr.. Campbell replied that
his delay in action was caused by the
fact that there were at that time so
many false statements flying about
which is popularity referred to as the
fire escape incident" was myth,
otherwise an Invention Of the enemy"
Mr.. Campbell also denies being the
author of certain much discussed let
ters alleged TO have been signed by him.

THE WESTERN FLOODS.
The Missouri Higher Than for Several
Years Past.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, juno 22.-The
floods in the Missouri reached the city
last night and the water now stands
twenty-three and one-half feet above
low water mark. An additional rise OF
TWO feet would food the lowlands along
the river bank and cause great loss TO
property. The rise in the Missouri
has backed up the water OF the Kaw,
until they stand within two feet of
food tide.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo, June 22.-The Mis-
souri, river is higher than for several
years and IS still rising. All Govern
ment work on the Kansas shore has
been abandoned and the Government
feet moored in place Of safety. The
rapidity with which the surging waters
are cutting away the Kansas bank can
best be imagined when it is stated that
half acres lots Of earth have been tum-
bling into the river ever since yester-
day morning.

u. s. CONSUL RESIGNS.
Jay Ewing Becomes so Unpopular That He
Leaves Vancouver.

VANCOUVER, B. c., June 26.-Jay
Ewing, United States Consul here, has
sent in his resignation, and recommends
as his successor Henry Harris, Of Wash
ington State, now temporarily resident
of Vancouver.
Consul Ewing'S pronounced anti-Brlt-
iSh views; and his failure to conduct
himself in the manner generally expect
ed of gentleman and diplomat made
himself so unpopular that he was com
pletely boycotted by both business men
and society people. The feeling culmi-
mated yesterday in the circulation OF a
petition, addressed to Secretary Blaine,
and asking, for the credit OF the United
States, that Ewing be recalled. In less
than two hours this petition was signed
By over 5000 residents, including the
most prominent men here in all walks OF
life.
Ewing gained the ill-will of the pub
lie here by refusing to respond to the
toast, "Queen Victoria and President
Harrison" because the President was
not mentioned first. The other day, on
an excursion on the Canadian Pacific
railroad, he caused the Union Jack,
which hung beside the Stars and
Stripes, to be pulled down. Since then
the feeling against him has been very
strong
