BOMBAY. Ang. 11.-A riot occurred In
this city to-day. Many persons are in the
hospitals suffering with more or less dan
Rerous injuries. Mohammedcns and Hin
doos became involved in . Dispute which
soon led to general riot. They were cole
bratinR a day set apart for religious obser-
vance. Religious feeling is high on both
sides. and it took but little to cause men
who were a. frst involved in Q dispute to
come 10 blows. Ths number of rioters
grew rapidly and when some Mohammed-
ans proposed to capture the holy Hindoo
temple they found plenty to aid them in
the attempt.
HowlinR and yelling "Allah, IL Allah,"
the hohammedana rushed to the temples
but the priests, aided by hundreds of Hin
doo' fought desper ately against the desc
Grafton OF tho building and finally sue
ossded in driving the attackers off. Fight
ing continued and finally the authorities
wee com ellsd to call out troops TO restore
order. which was ultimately done after con-
siderable trouble. Feeling between the
two scots has been rendered more bitter
BY the fighting and close watch will be
kept to prevent another outbreak.

headquarters putting an end to the office at

ed Of that the entire civil engineering de-
psrtment Of the road would ce"se to exist

the reductions in oil dera-tments is being
considered by General Manager Dickinson,
but nothing definite has been decided upon.

LINING UP,
Political Advantage Is the Ambition Q

Political Advantage is tho Ambition
the Senators.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE brief pro-
ceedings in the senate yesterday, coming
after the action of the day before, indicate
that the parties in the senate are beginning
to line up. There is slight disaffection on
the republican side on the part of a few sill
yer men. but generally they have adopted
the policy of annoying their opponents by
insisting upon immediate disposition of
the silver question. Therefore they a,e
resisting evsry motion to adjourn by onll-
ing for the yeas and nays to put the sena-
tors on record.
One Of the republican leaders In financial
matters said they would keep this line Of
action until the majority was obliged to
rf oceed to business. He inslsteh that the
democrats could not charge the republicans
with partisan action inasmuch as they were
simply trying to give immediate effect to
tho pr esidents suggestions in his message
Democratic senators resent the attempt
of rol ublicans to control the business of
the sennte and dictate the cha ncter of
legislation. They have resolved that they
will not permit action until they have
themselves agreed upon a limo of policy,
and the conduct of the republicans has had
the effect to consolidate all elements on the
democratic side on this resolution.
Meanwhile the democratic caucus COM
mitt.e are IN almost constant session, try
ing to arrange plan of action. ard the
keenest parliamentarians on the republican
side a'e quietly confer ing among them
selves to devise means to carry out thor
ideas; SO that the session in the senate
pl omises to be interesting. Between now
and Monday it is hoped by friends of the
administration in the senate tha: some
plan of action may be agreed upon on the
silver question, but there ia slender grounds
for this confidence in developments that
have cropped out thus far.
