CAUGHT in the Ect.

Night Watchman Guin, of the
Northern Pacific, surprised a couple
of men with a team, in the act of
helping themselves to the company's
coal at the docks Just north of the
:..epot. They succeeded in escaping,
but left behind them a basket and
suck, which the officer says they can
have by calling for them. Mr..
Guin has a full a description Of
the team, and the locality in which
the parties live. but says he will not
push the matter this time, but warns
them against a similar call. 1t
seems nothing short Of pure laziness
that would prompt man who is
supplied with a good team to go to
stealing coal where plenty OF wood
can be had for the exertion Of cut
ting and hauling it, ard 1t is mis-
applied charity to allow them to
escape with their first attempt.

Commissioner General Picard Has Already

France is already beginning to prepare
for the universal exposition of 1900, and
If that exposition is not entirely ready
for the official opening-as the history
of worlds fairs makes it safe to predict
it will not bet will not be for want of
beginning the work of preparation in
time. The site has not yet been selected
definitely, but it is suspected with soma
reasonableness that the government Of
fcials favor the location occupied by
the exposition of 1889, though they ara
making pretenses of examining other
proposed sites with a great. deal of par"
ticularity.
The commissioner general has been
selected, however, and his appointment
caused not a little surprise. He is M.

After such an address nobody can say

Police Fro on u Mob with Fatal Eject
In a Hungary Town.

III a Hungary Town.
VIESNk, March IA riot, attended
by severe fighting and bloodshed, oc-
Cured yesterday in the town of Soho,
bouszlo. Hungary. The cause Of the
outbreak was the imposing of new mar
ket tolls, which the populace Of Soho
bouszlo and Of the district generally
strongly resented.
A multitude Of people, both of the
town and adjoining county were gath
cred in Schobouszlo yesterday, and as
the authorities feared trouble, an extrn
force of gems d'armes was stationed at
tho market place. The people gathered
in large numbers and began pelting the
gems d'armes with stones and mud. The
latter were unable TO resist tho mob and
retreatcd TO the town hall.
The gems d'armes were surrounded, the
people endeavuring 10 enter the hall in
pursuit Of them. The police entered
the building and fired upon the furious
multitude.
The latter only grew more enraged
and would probably have captured the
town hall and killed the gems d'armes
but for the timely arrival of reinforce
ments, which were summoned to the
scene.
After long conflict the rioters were
dispersed, three Of their number being
killed and many seriously wounded. In
addition to the rioters killed during the
fight, woman was killed by the fire Of
the gems d'armes during the conflict, an
incident which added greatly to the
fury OF the mob.
