An Excellent Opportunity.

The old fashion of favoritism is well sa
urized in story told Of NJ. Bguon, a per
son OF very little learning, who was made
royal librarian by King Louis XIV of
France. When the news of this appoint

NJ. d Argenson, the uncle exclaimed. Good
nephew! Now you have an admirable oD
portunity TO learn to read San Francisco

His theory is that at one time, owing toa

this poor little atom we call the earth, the
equator changed place with the arctic zone.
At that period in the history of our globe
the Bad Lands began growing vegetation

FIGHT WITH A MOB.
Chicago Policemen Have q Rather
Lively Tussle.
Before II Was Ended Ii Developed
Into a Riot, Short but Very
Bloody.

CHICAGO. Aug. ga short but bloody
riot occurred in front of the City Hall this
afternoon. The police officers and parad-
ing unemployed workingmen came to-
eether and clubs and rocks were used
with serious effect Inspector Alex Ross.
Sergeant Swift and PatroIman James Lar
kin, policemen, were more or less injured
and Michael Horoviez and John WenzeI,
rioters. were cut about the head.
At ? o'clock this afternoon hundreds of
unemployed men gathered at Lake-front
Park 10 listen to addresses relative to tie
Labor situation. At the close OF the speech
making they formed for parade and pre-
ceded by baBf marched up Washington
street, completely blocking thas thorough
fare.
At the corner of Washington and Clark
streets United States mail wagon at
tempted TO get through the crowd, and
word was sent to In spector Ross, who was
in his office at the City Hall. The inspector
walked over to the corner of Clark street,
and, calling couple of policemen, ordered
them 10 clear a passage for the mail
wagon. This angered the crowd, and
some of them once began to get ugly.
Near the sidewalk was a buggy belonging
to j. II. Martindale. whom the crowd
directed 10 get out of the way. This he
could not do, and the mob seized the
buggy and threw it upon the sidewalk
with a crash. 1t was when Inspector
Ross, at this moment, followed by three
officers. rushed into the crowd and or
dered it back, that the rioting commenced
Ross was struck on the head with a
paving stone and feled to the earth, but
quickly regained his feet and attacked the
maddened crowd, and with powerful blows
he knocked down several rioters, bis men
standing by him pluckily. The crowd was
too strong for them. however, and when
Sergeant Swift went down with a broken
head Inspector Ross drew his revolver and
kept the mob al bay for an instant.
Inspector Shea hurried from the City
Hall at the head of a dozen men and
charged the crowd. The police by this
time had got the better of the mob and had
forced it back after a lively struggle. in
which clubs, stones and revolver-handles
were freely used on both sides.
a few minutes later Inspector Lewis
came up at the head of seventy men. fol-
lowed later by the patrol wagons bearing
200 more policemen. The crowd, which
n umbeTed 1000 by this time. was quickly
dispersed.
When Mayor Harrison a few minutes
later learned of the fight he ordered that
hereafter there should be no more parades
nor meetings allowed.
After the men were dispersed at the
City Hall they again assembled at the
Lake Front where speech-making was re-
sumed. Mayor Harrison addressed the
crowd and implored the men to go back to
their homes and manfully endure their
temporary misfortune. He declared that
they would gain nothing by parades and
demonstrations, which he would not tol-
crate. When he had finished the crowd
Cneered the Mayor

Germany Struck by a Violent
Attack of Anglophobia.
1t All Comes of the Duke of Edin.
burgh's Succession to Saxe-Co-
burg and Gotha.

BERLIN, Aug. 26.-The succession of the
Duke of Edin nburgh to the rulership of the
duchies of Saxe-Co5urg and Gotha domin-
ates political interest in Germany, and
widely divergent rumors in regard to the
matter are everywhere circulated. Put
ting all these aside, there is no doubt that
the succession of the English Duke has
surprised and dissatisfied the nation.
though the fact is quietly accepted by the
duchies concerned. 1t is probable En-
peror William would have preferred that
Prince Alfred, the only son of the Dnka of
Edinburgh, should have succeeded Duke
Ernst. Indeed, it is believed his Majesty
hoped that he might induce his uncle, the
Duke of Edinburgh, TO waive his claim to
the succession in favor of Prince Alfred.
His Majesty is reported to have told the
Duke that under any circumstances a
regency under English guidance would be
an imDossbiity, and that he must either
take the throne himself or abandon all
connection with tue duchies.
Finding the Duke resolute in his de-
termination to f0rego none of his rights,
and also finding his mother. Queen Vic
toria. supporting him in bis attitude, the
Emperor put on the best face possible and
arquiesced in the Dukes succeeding The
Extremist press. Radical and Conservative
alike, is indulglng in anglophobia criti-
cism. They harp upon the inexpediency
of admitting the relative of powerful
foreign house into the secrets of the fede-
ration.
Nothing is yet publicly known as to the
disposition of the late Dukes property. 1t
has always been supposed that he was i'm
mensely wealthy. and certainly his estates
are extensive enough. for apart from the
palaces, castles and shootng-lodges owned
by him in Germany he is the proprie tor of
one of the finest shooting domains in Eu-
rope, situated in the Austrian Tyrol All
these properties are entailed and pass to
his successor.
A cyclone passed over Eastern Silesia on
Thursday last. One hundred houses at
Neustadt, Kozel and Oberglogau were un-
rooted, crops were destroyed and several
persons were killed.

Runyon, American Minister to Germany,
