STILL IN A TURMOIL.
Man-of-War Is Necessary at Bay De-
void, N. F.

Man-of-War Is Necessary at Bay De-
void, N. F.
st. Johns, N. F., May 16.-Bay De-
void is still in turmoil. The police
were beaten and put to fight yester-
day at Gull Island. They had to
threaten to use firearms before the
mob dispersed. The police went to
arrest the leaders in the first attack.
While engag ed in this work a crowd
surrounded and attacked them with
clubs and stones and released the pris-
oners.
The police were forced to abandon
their purpose until strong reinforce
ments were sent to help them.
1t is expected the next few days will
develop additional riots unless the
threat to send a man-of-war has a
quoting effect. The fierceness of the
newspaper controversy is unprece-
dented.
The most shocking charges are made
by each side. The governor, public
officials, clergymen of all denomina-
lions, and every one in public posi-
lions are victims of gross attacks. Mr..
Morine, colonial secretary, is accused
of insulting clergymen of all denom-
nations in his speech at Western Bay.
It is threatened that he will be rough
ly handled when he returns to st.
Johns. Mr. Bond, former colonial
secretary, is likely to arrested for con-
tempt of court.

Chicago, May 16.-The Western Pas
senger lines have struck another small
snag in the settlement of their emf
grant troubles, and it may delay the
amicable results which all Of the lines
have been counting upon for the Lass
week.
Passenger Traffic Manager White, Of
the Atchison, has announced that that
portion of the agreement which allows
to the Southern Pacific a percentage
of the emigrant business to Colorado.
is not as it should be, and he believes
the business should be given to the
Atchison. This has made it necessary
for the other lines to delay their meet
ing until the return of Mr.. White from
the Pacific coast, which will be on Fri
day of this week.
An adjournment of the association
meeting was taken until that day. 1t
is confidently expected that the mat
ter will be arranged in a manner sat
isfactory to the Atchison and South
ern Pacific.
The meeting Of the western freight
lines, which Chairman Midgley is anX-
ious to hold on the 23rd, for the set
Element of the troubles in western
freight rates, is not coming on as
smoothly as could be desired,
and the chances now are
that it will be held at date later
than originally set. Mo- all the lines
to which invitations were sent have
replied and President Remnant, OF
the Atchison, has said it will be i'm
possible for him to come to Chicago
to attend the meeting, although he will
gladly attend the meeting if it is held
in the east.
The association lines, however, have
lost none of their determination to re-
store rates May %. no matter what
the lines on the outside may do.

Fate of Officers Who Are DisIoyaI to
Peixoto.
New York, May 16.-The Herald's Bue-
nos Ayres dispatch says several officers
in the Brazilian army have been ordered
to trial by court martials for their con-
duct in not defending the forts at Nicthe-
roy during the revolution.
1t is not believd in Buenos Ayres that
the trouble between Brazil and Portugal
winch has led to a suspension of diplo-
matte relations, will last longer or be at
tended by any serious consequences
The general impression is that the adj
ministration will ask congress to enact
a tariff against importations for Portugal
This tariff, it is thought, will be light
but will serve to show BraziIs disap-
prevail of the course pursued by the Lis
bon government during the recent revolu-
ton. At the same time, it will give
Spain and Italy an opportunity to send
their wines to replace those which have
been imported from Portugal

Pinheirs Machade to march from the

1t Is Highly Improbable.

Washington, May 16.-It is said at the
state department to be entirely improb-
able that Mr.. Bayard, our ambassador
at London, has made any statement to

Great Britain or Germany, as yet, took

no such a proposition will come forward
until Great Britain and Germany have
arranged, to their mutual satisfaction,
for the future government Of the islarls.

BOLD BREAK AT BOULDER CREEK.
Railway Station Agent Receives a
FatnI Wound.

Boulder Creek. Cal, May 16.-Late
last night an attempt was made to
rob the railway station at this place
by a man named Azoff, who walked
up to the station agent and ordered
him to throw up his hands, which the
agent did.
Detective Len Harris, of the South
ern Pacific secret service, who had
previous information that the attempt
would be made stepped out of room
in which he was hiding and ordered
the robber to surrender, but instead of
ofbeying, Azoff turned and shot Harris
in the stomach and made his escape
toward Los Gatos.
Harris wound will prove fatal
Azoff has worked around here for
over year, but a short time ago lost
his position, and since then has done
nothing. 1t is believed he had a con-
federate.
Officers diligently searched during
last night and today for the robbers
who attempted to sack the station
house and mortally wounded Detective
Len Harris but found no trace of
them. Harris has been removed to his
home in Alameda, where at last &C
counts he was slowly sinking.
