a general riot the militia were kept in
readiness to respond at moments no.
tice. For long time the people of the
parish have been dissatisfied with the
appointment of priests by Bishop Cot
ter. A few weeks ago Rev. A. Kla-
witer, the priest in charge, re-
signed. He had torn down the
old parish church and started a
naw $4,000 structure. The people de-
manded his return, and failing in their
demands. held series of mass meet
ings, at which highly inflammatory
speeches were made. The last meeting
was held last evening. and it was de-
cided TO forcibly close work on the new
church. Otto Blashek, a bartender, of
the Fourth ward, was chairman, and has
been recognized leader for some time
past.
Another meeting was on tho pro-
granme for this evenin e and, fearing
violence TO number of members of the
parish who are in disfavOr, the uthori-
ties placed Blashek under arrest about
7:30 this evening. Half an hour late. a
procession of 500 Poles appeared at the
county Jail where Blashek was confined,
with the American flag flying and their
pockets full Of cobblestones, and de-
manded Blashek's release. Sheriff Gay
endeauored to. parley, but without avail,
and the mob moved on the Jail. At
this point the fire department appeared,
armed with axes. aud laid line of hose,
ready to play on the crowd.
The militia were notified and were in
readiness near the scene. Finally the
matter was temporarily compromised
by the release of Blaskek on 5000 bail
for his appearance in court tomorrow
morning on the charge of melting
riot. The assembled mob greeted their
victory with cheers and howls, and
trouble is feared for tomorrow evening.
as number of arrests will follow in
the morning and another and more vio-

VEST IN A FINE FRENZY,
Railing Against the President
and Senator'S Who Had
AsSailed Him.
MILLS AND Villas ANSWER.
Action Deferred--Mr. Carlisle
Shows the Bill Will Cause
Deficit.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-For five
hours this afternoon the senate debated
the question of proceeding Immediately
TO the consideration of the house bill
placing sugar on the free list. Secre-
tary Carlisle's letter stating that the
free entry of sugar would deprive the
treasury during the next fiscal year of
$4,000. 900 revenue and cause deficit
OF $50, 100000. which was read in the
senate, was made the justification of
Mr.. Harris motion to refer the bill to
the committee on finance. But Mr..
Berry. Democratic senator from Ar
kansas. wanted the bill considered at
once. on the ground that the question
was thoroughly understood, and that its
reference to the committee would mean
its death.
The debate was marked by one of the
most sensational speeches of the ses-
sion. Senator Vest, of Missouri, turned
on the calcium light in speech of two
and half hours. Always eloquent,
the Missouri senator today, smarting
under what he believed to be ISLANDERS
heaped upon himself. rallied with fine
frenzy against the president and all
those who had assailed him, his associ-
ates on the finance committee and their
motives. He gave complete history of
the struggle in conference and justified
the action of the senate conferees.
Upon the question of referring the
sugar bill. Mr.. Vest maintained
that its reference TO the finance
committee meant Its death. He
was i'll favor of considering it immedi-
ately. and either placing sugar on the
free list or at least striking out the
differential in favor of the trust. Mr..
Villas defended the administration
against the aspersions put upon it by
the senate. and also favored immediate
action, as did Mr.. Mills, who challenged
Mr.. Carlisle's statement that the tariff
bill would not yield sufficient revenue
it sugar went on the tree list. Mr.. Jones,
OF the finance committee. offered an
amendment to place a duty of 80 per
cent fiat on raw and refined sugar. The
pending motion to refer had not been
acted upon when the senate adjourned.

RUMORS OF FANOTHER ENGAGE
MENT IN THE ORIENT.
Seven Chinese Vessels Are Said
to Have Been Sent to the
Bottom.

LONDON, Aug. IA private tele-
gram from Yokohama says that seven
Chinese vessels were sunk in a recent
engagement with the Japanese. This
report lacks confirmation, and probably
arose from the statement received
here from Yokohama last night that
news had been received here of the bat
tie which took place on the 11th between
China and Japan fleets. and the Chinese
were driven off. Inquiries made at the
Japanese legation here fail to obtain a
confirmation of the report.
The engagement referred to probably
consisted i'll the attack made, accord
ing to Shanghai dispatches of Aug. II,
by the Japanese on Wei-Hai-Wei, and
Oh Fort Arthur. 1t was stated, how
ever, that the Japanese were repulsed.

brother, 10. Reisinger, who resides
at the place where the fatal
deed was committed, and his
family returned to the house
they found that the door was locked.
Taking their little child and putting
him through the window, ne unlocked
the door, and the dread discovery was
made. The brother he had seen but
few hours previous was dead by his own
hand. The deed was committed with a
12-caliber Parker shotgun. Evidently
after writing the letter Reisinger had
calmly placed his hat alongside mis- final
message on the table and his shoes in
the corner. Then he cooked the gun
and placed the muzzle near his heart.
BY means of pine stick he pushed the
trigger, causing the contents of the
barrel to enter the breast, an inch and
half inside the left nipple. passing
through the heart, and causing Instant
death. As it was clearly case of sui

is the opinion of Coroner Whitcomb, in
view of all he could learn, that Refs.

6 p. IN.
Little is known of Reisinger. except.
ing that he was born at York, Pa,
twenty-seven years ago. He came here
from West Point two or three years ago.
Here it was that he did his last labor,
and that was work in the service of the
government. He afterward came here
on account of poor health, being a vic
tim of malarial fever. Reisiuger's let
ter to his brother is almost plaintive in
its brevity, yet it tells the final chapter
in his life. 1t is as follows:

His shaking increased while he was
making his toilet ia such an extent that
Diebler's men had much trouble in pin
ioning him.
When Gov. RauX spoke to Santo of
his mother, the condemned mans eyes
filled with tears and he nearly choked
with emotion. He soon regained his
habitual indifference. although still
pallid and trembling. From this mo
ment he said nothing more.
When he was assisted into the wagon
he was in a most pitiable condition.
His knees shook together and his teeth
chattered violently. He no longer
appeared like man, but be-

appeared, walking with extreme
difficu lty, his open shirt displaying
his breast, frail and bony, his
eyes ere first fixed on the guillotine,
and then wandered to the troops and
the crowd. He uttered the cries "Cour-
aye, mes comrades, "Vive l'anarchIe,"
but the sound issued feebly from his
closed teeth, and was scarcely audible be-
yond the troops. The words were hardly
uttered when Santo was seized and
pushed towards the bascule. He made
feeble struggle and fell. His weight
was much too light, and his execution

sawdust and the body was rolled into

DIDN'T REACH 4 VOTE.
Discussion on the Sugar Bill Was
Lively.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-During the
presentation of memorials and petitions
in the senate at 1912 o'clock today
Chief Clerk CowleS appeared at the
main door with the tariff bill. The
III, m )ers of the senate listened arten-
tiveiy while Clerk Towles read the reso-
luton which signalized the senate's
triumph over the house in the tariff
struggles, but thers was no demonstra-
tion of any kind.
The speakers signature to the bill
was announced at the same time. Then
the vice president appended his name.
Mr.. Harris (Dem., Tenn.) asked for
the second reading of the house revenue
bills. No one objected. The bill to
place coal, iron and barbed wire on the
free list was read. Mr.. Harris then had
read letter just received from Secre-
tary Carlisle concerning the effect of
the proposed bills upon the government
revenues.
Mr.. Berry (Dem., Ark.) called up the
free sugar bill. Mr.. Harris, while
favoring free sugar, thought this and
the other bills should be referred to the
finance committee. The senate could
not adjourn without providing for the
threatened deficiency of twenty-eight
to thirty millions which might result
from the passage of this bill.
MIR. Berry insisted that the senate
should decide the matter and not bury
it In committee. He said the senate
had been charged with being a friend
of the sugar trust. He wanted the bill
to pass exactly as it came from the
house.
Vest Was Frantic.
Mr.. Vest spoke on Mr. Harris motion
to refer the free sugar and other bills
to the finance committee. He said it
meant the death of the bills, as the COM
mittee was now politically tie, with the
prospect of the disappearance of a
quorum within few days. He declared
the position of the senate on the tariff
had been vindicated by the letter of
Secretary Carlisle, which proved con-
clusivey that if the house bill had been
enacted it would have caused def
cheney of 10000, 900. He showed that the
power acquired by the sugar trust was
the result of its fostering by the pro-
visions of the Mckinley bill.
Toward the close OF his speech, Mr..
Vest said:
