THE BATTLE OF WENATcHEE.
Love and Faro Bank Cause Desperate
Conflict.


SPOKANE, Ark, December "a riot
occurred at Wenatchee, one hundred
miles from here last night and for three
hours the town was IN control OF a fren-
zied mob. The trouble was started by
the luck of drunken gambler named
Guilland. He worked on the Great North
ern grade at intervals through the sum
mer. About once in six weeks he would
come to Wenatchee to indulge in wild
carouse. While he had money he would
frequent one of the toughest dives in
town and spend nearly all his time with
an inmate known as Susette. For the
last month she has been living at the
place of Giuseppe Waco, a faro dealer,
who is sort of king among the Italians
here, and is said to have been driven
from New Orleans for his part in the
Malta murders. Guilland quit work a
week ago and went to Wenatchee and
started on a spree. In two days his
money was gon and he has been loafing
since. Last night he was paid an old
debt of S12, and with that he ganbled
until he bTohs Jaco's bank. Susetto
heard the news. and started to
the gambling room saying she
was going to a man who had luck.
Guilland walked off with the woman, but
before they had gone block dozen
Italians, led by Waco, surrounded them.
While some attacked Guilland, the rest
tried to carry away the woman. Gull
land fought like tiger, knocking down
two or three with his fists before he
could draw his pistol. The screams of
the woman brought crowd of men
from all sides, and bands of railroad
graders rushed to their comrades S rescue.
Waco gave peculiar whistle and in a
moment the street was filed with Itali-
ans, some half dressed, and all armed
with knives, clubs and stones. The rail
road men gathered in a group, with
Guilland and the woman in the centre,
and began to retreat slowly, firing as
they went, and calling for help. Others
joined them, and finally they made a
stand The Italians pressed them close
ly, and many fights occurred When the
graders opened fire the Italians gave
way until there was space of 20 feet
| between the two parties. Across
this space, stones, clubs and brickbats
| flew regular cloud, those who were
| knocked down being carried to the rear
of the mob. Three graders were stabbed
| with long knives and carried into sa-
| loon. The woman was spirited away in
the DARKNESS. ADOuG IU minutes dIteI
the graders made their stand, 20 Italians
charged on them from the rear and those
on the other side closed in at the same
time. A hot fire forced the Italians to
| fall back in confusion. Before they
could rally, the railroad men were re-
enforced by nearly so men, who ran
down side street. The Italians then
fell back several blocks, carrying their
wounded, and both parties gradually
| broke up into small bands and scattered
through the town. Whenever the oppo-
sition factions met, there was a skirmish
generally ending in the defeat of the
| Italians.

DUMB SUFFERERS.
One Hundred Thousand Cattle Said to
Have Starved.

DENVER, Col, December "a prom
inent cattle man from Northwestern
New Mexico tells of fearful suffering
among the cattle of the drought stricken
district. He says that for more than
two years there has been no rain. The
water courses are dried UP and the irri-
CATION bitches are useless. At low es-
innate, he said, $4,000 to 100000 cattle
hive died from starvation and lack OF
water. The railroads are shipping cattle
out of the region by train loads. Thous-
ands Of these cattle will die, as they are
too weak to withstand the winter. Some
of the cattle companies estimate their
loss as high as 60 per cent and the aver
age will run So to 40 per cent. Sheep

WASHINGTON, December 9.-The treas
ury oficia attach no special significance
to today's dispatches from Denver in
regard to the panicky condition Of the
silver mining interests in Col do.
The fact that many small mines are be-
ing abandoned is taken to indicate simp-
ly that they are played out and can no
longer be worked at profit. 1t is held
that the recent depreciation of silver in
the London market and the predicted
failure of the international conference to
advocate more liberal use of silver as
money. can have no direct bearing on
the present situation in Colorado.

TOPEKA, december IA coHlerenoo
Of the leaders of the Peoples party was
held here yesterday. A plan was agreed
upon to organize the lower house by rev.
olutionary methods. AS it stands the
Republicans have sixty-three members,
or one majority. The scheme of the
Peoples party is for the new secretary of
state to allow no one to enter Represen-
tative hall but Peoples party members
and to station guards and officers, re-
sorting to the state militia if necessary
to prevent the Republicans from gaining
admittance on the day when tine legisla-
ture meets.
The new state officers will be inaugu-
rated January 10th, and the following
day the legislature meets, so that the en-
tire state government will be In the
hands of the Populists. 1t is said that
the new state board will revoke certiti-
Gates of election issued to half dozen
Republicans and give them to defeated
Populists, and thus control the organlza,,
ton. Thus they can elect the United
States Senator.
Secretary of State Higgins said today
that such revolutionary proceeding
would bring to Topeka on the day of the
opening of the session $4,000 Republl-
cans, who would resent it by force, II
accessory. He said the Republicans
would have what they had honestly won
if they had to fight for it.

He will not assist any separation or agi-

questions like the restoration of evicted

thinks just and right to all.
THOUSANDS FACE STARVATION.
Idle English Cotton Operatives With Neith-
er Food Nor Money.
LONDON, December GA month has
elapsed since the beginning of the great
cotton strike or lockout, and it appears TO
be no nearer settlement than 1t was at
the beginning. It Is estimated that 40,-
900 mill hands who belong to no union
have been rendered idle through the dis
pute. With no treasury to draw upon
their condition is pitiable. Thousands
of them, men, women and little children,
are now reduced almost to starvation.
Their paltry household effects and even
parts of their clothing have gone to the
pawnbrokers to get money with which
to buy food.
The little money raised in this manner
spent, starvation stares the idle working
people In the face. In many of the mill
towns the non-union mill hands daily pa
rade the streets and solicit aims. The
severity of the weather now prevailing
adds to the distress. Application was
made yesterday to magistrate at Old
ham for 800 warrants against operatives
who were in arrears for borough rates.
The magistrate refused to grant chem,
and told the bailiff who made the appli-
cation to apply again when the strike
was ended.

Love Making on the Stage.

"The art of making love ON the stage
is one that few actors acquire, said an
old Thespian. "a woman naturally
clings to man with grace, grasping his
arm with cleverly implied passion or
tenderly nesting on his bosom. But a
man doesn't get on to the 9stheticism of
the thing with the same ease and grace.
Harry Lacy was a dream of lover,
though. He had trick of weaving his
arms about woman with sinuous, Sc
ductive movement that brought little
lump into the throat of every woman in
the audience. He always preferred ap-
preaching woman from behind and
then drawing her back into arms that
seemed made for that purpose. Hoff
isn't bad lover by any means. Ask the
st. Louis girls if they don't think he
makes very few false moves.
"Funny thing, while on this topic,
but you know when Barrymore was
supporting Langtry they hated each
other worse than poison. He declares
she would put pins in her bodice to stick
him, and they kept up regular quarrel
the whole time they were billing and
cooling and embracing in most ardent
fashion. Don't hold me SO tight, sir
you have evidently never had your
arms around a lady, Langtry would
say in whisper. If you knew how
thoroughly distasteful this is to me you
would never accuse me of getting neal
you,' he would reply. Do people ever
make love on the stage? Not that
know of; it is all purely business
