RiOting Lawmakers at Indian

MANY LEGISLATORS INJURED
A Disgraceful Attempt to Keep a
Veto Message From the House
Before Adjournment.
Associated Press.

Indianapolis, March 11.-The legisla.
ture broke up in wild riot tonight In
which Utmost every member partici-
pated. Revolvers were drawn and many
persons were seriously injured, Adams,
of Parke county, perhaps fatally.
For fully 20 minutes the state house
was filled with a howling surgdng
mob. Myron King. the Governors pri-
waite secretary, attempted to enter the
house with am important veto mes
age, ito deliver to the speaker before Il
o'clock, the time of adjournment sine
die. He was denied admission and
then the Democrats attempted to force
the doors open but the crowd of Re,
publicans, who were bent upon the
governors secretary being kept out
with his message, resisted with all the
force they could command. Finally the
doors were forced open. King, who
was in front, was forced right into
the crowd of Republicans, who were
bent upon keeping him from the speak.
er With one accord the men began
striking at each other and the secre,

ed. xiii him." cried a hundred voices,
Inch by inch the Democrats gained
ground. Many persons were knocked
down and trampled under foot. Revol.
vers were flourished in the air. At 1857
the excitement was intense. Men were
fighting in every part of the room, and
several of them were bleeding from nu.
merous wounds. A few minutes later
King, with the clothing almost torn
from his body, and hits back bleeding,
was pushed by main strength Through
the crowd and thrown heavily against
The speakers desk. He had Gov. Mat

reached the speaker. When King wa,
about to place It in Speaker Adams
hand, that official kicked and beat back
the crowd, and In a voice that could be
heard above the horrible din, cried
1.-THE house has adjourned; the house
has adjourned"
The trouble originated over an at
tempt this morning to supplant Custo-
dian Griffin, Democrat, with a Re-
publican. The governor has three days
in which to consider all measures. The
bill was referred to the governor three
nights ago. 1t was his scheme to hold
1t to the last minute and then the legis

Of the circuit court of the Massachu.
setts district which held them RESPONSE
BILE for the loss caused by the delay in
shipment of cattle. Toe defense IN
the original case was that the delay
was occasioned by the breaking of
the vessels shaft. The court held,
however, that the exception was not
sufficiently specific and sustained the
decision OF the court below. A vessel,
said Chief Justice Fuller, In delivering
the opinion, must be wholly seawor

ers should think 1t was seaworthy. Jus.

ONLY A FAKE.

The story OF the mutiny and wreck

their suspicious. was shown by the fol-
lowing dispatch received from Wash

From reports received at the state
department from the United States
consul at Callao. Peru, there Is every
reason 10 suspect that the strange tale
that came to Philadelphia in letter
from Charles Jones OF mutiny on the
American bark Portland Lloyds, and
the wrecling Of the vessel near Iunia.
Chill, was put a1oat to cover the de-
sertion or some misconduct OF the
crew.
According to the consu'B report the
bark, which hailed from Seattle, pui
into Callao toward the end Of last
year. She cleared for Junia, Chill, De.

stories afoat that the crew had mutt.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The Interest felt by the general public
In the selection of Professor George W.
Philips successor as superintendent Of
schools Is demonstrated by the amount ci
discussion that Is heard about town in
the resorts where men congregate. The
chances of Professor j. G. Lange and Pro
fessor George Howell for the position Of
superintendent are largely canvassed anG
1t Is evident that both have many warm
ardent friends. The board of control will
meet one week from next Monday night,
and at that meeting 1t is expected that
Professor Phillips resignation will be
acted upon and his successor chosen.
The controllers are divided In their opin-
new superintendent. Some are positive
that Professor Lange will win, while
others are equally confident that Profes-
sOr Howell Is to get the plum and pro
duce figures to show that they are correct
There, has been some talk of importing a
dark horse, but 1t Is not likely that this
suggestion will receive serious considera-
eicn. While Scranton has the ability
within her borders to fill the position Of
city superintendent, II Is not probable that
the members of the hoard of control will
do any importing. The policy they have
been pursuing for years Is In direct oppo-
sition to such action.
