NEWPORT (R. t., July 3.--At 8 o'clock
this afternoon smoke was seen issuing
from among the buildings on Goat
Island, occupied by the Government as a
torpedo station, which soon grew TO a
lively blaze. Then a fog obscured the
scene, and when il lifted the flames were
no longer discernible.
1t was learned that the fire started in

The VfsaIia Outlaw Expires at the
Fresno Jail.
FRESNO, July 9.-John Sontag died at
1:95 o'clock this afternoon. He was un-
conscious before his death for five hours.
An inquest will be held.
The wound which caused his death was
the one through his chest, the bullet
penetrating one of his lungs.
1t was believed two weeks ago that
there was some hope of Sontag recover
ing, but lately his chances of living grew
less as his constitution gradually suc-
cumbed to the great shock, and lately the
physicians in attendance regarded death
as a mere question of time.
His constitution had also been weak
ened by the other wounds, and his condi-
ton of mind was not conducive to re-
covery.
The dying bandit was given all the
care and attention it was within the
power of the jail officials to bestow and
his last conscious hours were soothed by
the ministrations of the few friends who
forgot that he was an enemy to law and
order, whose hands were doubly stained
with human blood.
Sentag's death created but slight sur
prise here.
1t was known that the end was near
and when the news of his death was
announced on the streets little comment

PARIS, July 3.-On Saturday an affray
occurred between the police and number
OF students in the Latin quarter. The
students were determined to lay the facts
before the Government, and when the
deputies met to-day, to the number of
1000, they sought admission to the cham
bers. After considerable parleying ten of
their number were admitted and accorded
a hearing. They stated the facts in the
motion censuring the Government, which
was to be offered by Millerand.
In speaking on the motion Millerand
maintained that the police brutally as
saulted innocent people.
Premier Dupuy deprecated the dis
cussion as premature, adding that strin-
gent inquiry proceedings be had into all
the facts of the case.
The order Of the day, expressing the
trust that the Government would do its
best to punish the guilty officers, was
finally adopted by the chamber.
Lovice, Prefect of Police, resigned his
office, because he believed the Govern
ment was disposed to make a scapegoat
of him in the matter, but efforts are be-
ing made to induce him to reconsider his
resignation.
At $3.50 o'clock this evening 1000 stu
dents surrounded the Prefecture of Police,
jeered the officials, and threw stones
through the windows. While the police
were preparing to charge the mob upset
all the booths in the neighborhood and
smashed the street lamps. The charge Of
the police was resisted stubbornIy. The
students fought back with clubs and
stones. In the first onset several students
were wounded and two police stretched
unconscious on the pavement. The sec
ond charge resulted in more injuries on
both sides, but the students were driven
back fifty or sixty yards. After the
third charge the repulsed students
marched singing and shouting to the
Place st. Michel. The police retired, and
a call for cavalry was sent out from the
Prefecture. AT 1915 the students were
rioting in the Boulevard st. Michel.
The cavalry was called to drive the
students from the neighborhood of the
Palais de Justice and the Prefecture and
returned to the barracks after tie mob had
retreated to the boulevard ST. Germain.
The mob then hurried back along the
boulevard St. Michel and across the
bridge to the boulevard du Palais. The
students smashed the massive doors of
the Palais de Justice and knocked glass
out of all windows within reach. The
police fastened to the spot and charged
with drawn swords. The rioters over
came them, tore the swords from their
hands and drove them back. Several DO
Hcemen were cut severely with the
swords and taken to the hospital Other
policemen were cut severely and the men
were also injured with clubs.
The Republican guards were called out
at midnight. The students retreated
down the boulevard st. Michel as the
guards approached, and disappeared
shortly before L o'clock. The guards re-
main stationed at the bridge to prevent a
return OF any of the rioters to the Palais
de Justice or the Prefecture of Police.
Lovice denied this evening that he had
resigned. The immediate cause of the
riots was the death of Nueger, clerk.
who was mortally injured by the police
in an encounter with the students on

BEHRlNG SEA ARBITRATION,
Hon. E. j. Phelps Continues His Clos
ing Address.

ing Address.
PARIS, July 3.-Hon. E. J. Phelps. of
counsel for the United States, continued
his closing address before the Behring
Sea Tribunal of Arbitration to-day, He
examined into the rights claimed bv
Russia in 1799 and 1921, and into the re-
sulting protests from the United States
and treaties between America and Russia.
Phelps held that neither protests nor
treaties raised any objection to Russia's
exclusive trading or sealing rights in
Behring Sea; they only opposed Russia's
claim to exclusive trading rights on the
shores of the Pacific Ocean. Proceeding
to deal with the questions of jurisdiction
involved in the case, Phelps contended
they were subordinate to the main dues-
ton at issue. The property right of
America in seals aud her right to care for
the animals would not depend on de-
cision by the tribunal favorable to her on
questions of jurdistiction, though her
right would be strengthened by such de-
cision.
Mr.. Phelps argued that the term Spa
cific'' did not include Behring Sea in the
context of the treaties or interpretations
of treaties given by Canning, John
Quincy Adams and all other diplomats
until pelagic sealing began. He proved
that Russia enjoyed exclusive possession
of sealing until the cession of Alaska to
the United States.
