Inmates of a RetOrmatOry for
Young Girl Offenders,
Engage in a Riot During a Visit
of Managers.
BREAK FURNITURE.
Took Three Loads Of Police to
Restore Order.

CHICAGO, March 29.-Three mem berA
of the board of trustees of the state
home for Juvenile female offenders
were given a practical illustration yes
terday evening of the characterization
which has reigned among the inmates
for several weeks past. Mrs. Charles
Henrotin, Mrs. ]. D. Harvey and Mrs.
g. NJ. Holt spent the afternoon
ut the home, and took supper
with the inmates. The thirty girls
confined there took advantage of the
presence of the representatives of the
board of management to show what
they could do in the way of rioting.
They succeeded so we'll that they
smashed nearly all the crockery in the
house, dismantled the dining-room
furniture, broke windows, threw
the contents of the pantry about
the premises, filed the air with
shouts and then refused to go to their
rooms at the command of the police.
1t required three wagon loads of police
to quen the riot, and it was found
necessary to carry the majority of the
girls to their rooms by main strength,
and to leave a policeman on guard
throughout the night at the door of
CaCA AOOA W LAC
The outbreak was the result of a
meeting held by the girls in the after
noon. when it was decided to show by
breaking the furniture resentment for
the partiality shown by the manage

cided to take advantage of the presence
of the members of the board of man

Mrs. Henrotin- and the other ladies
were forced to remain in the room and
witness the riot, the girls having locked
the doors.

He refused to sit down and the two
men scuff1ed for a moment, then the
sergeant-at-arms grasped the senator's
long chin whiskers with his right
hand. In the meantime the senators
and spectators had gathered in a
circle around the struggling men.
Senator Jeffries, a populist, excited
ly elbowed his way through the
crowd to the center and undertook to
assault the sergeant-at-arms. Sena-
tors McKeeby and Hitchcock at once
forced him back to his seat. Dale,
another populist senator, sprang into
the melee, and grasped the sergeant
alarms. Senator Sloan threw himself
upon Dale, and with the assistance of
Senator Hitchcock, forced him back to
his chair. No other senators under
took to interfere and the fight ended.

WALLER'S ATTORNEY.
John NJ. LangstOn Visits the
State Department.
He Asks That His Client be
Looked After.
HE is ENCOURAGED
And Thinks the Government
Will Do the Proper Thing.

WASHINGTON, March 29-Hon. John
M. Langston, who for some years past
has been the counsel for ex-Consul
John L. Waller, of Kansas, was at the
state department yesterday to ascer-
tain if any news had been received of
fcially of the reported sentence of his
client to twenty years Imprisonment
in Madagascar. Mr.. Langston thinks
it is about time cable advices were re-
ceived, but in this he was disappoint-
ed, for up to noon nothing had come to
the department.
Certain documents and letters from
Mr.. Waller bearing on the concession
made to him by the aova government,
and which necessarily will figure in
the matter if it is taken up by the state
department, have been fled in the de-
partment by Mr.. Langston. The refusal
of Mr.. Waller to file a record. of the
concession in the offices of the French
regent in Madagascar, which, no doubt,
has been a source of irritation to
the authorities of that country, and
probably inspired the prosecution
against him, are set forth in the docu-
ments AS the result of his visit to the
state department Mr.. Langston ex-
pressed the conviction that the officials
will act promptly in Investigating the
matter of Mr.. Walters arrest and i'm
prisonment, and that they will by all
means refuse to submit to the DISPOSE
ton of his case by court-martial and
insist upon civil trial, as they did in
the case of Sanguilly in Cuba.
SURVEYING THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The work
of surveying the Indian territory and
marking of the townships and sections

the actual work mapped out can be
accomplished under the present appro-
priation of $500, 900. but parties will be
at work until late in the fall, and pos
sibly for a short time next spring.
The object is to aid the Indians In taxi
ing lands in severalty and the con-
struction of Topographic sheet of the
territory will be carried forward at
the same time as the general work for
the government. The Chickasaw ma
ton lands are the only area in the
territory so far surveyed.
RAISING PENSIONS.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Al neces-
sary steps for putting into effect the
recent legislation raising all pensions
below Sc to that rating have been TAX
en- by the pension bureau. Low
rate pensioners whose names are borne
on the rolls of the Buffalo, Chicago,
Concord, Des Moines, Milwaukee and
Pittsburgh agencies will receive the So
rating on April 4, and all like pensions
in other jurisdictions will be advanced
at the next payment in their district.
The change will be about 81, 500, 900 to
the pension expenditures, and the cases
of about 10000 pensioners will be
affected.

Canada's Government Tottering.

MONTREAL, Can, March 29.-The gem

conservative government is tottering.

toms, has also resigned. This would
bring the number of designations to
three, and men who are in the secrets
of the party say that it should not sur
prise them if. under the circumstances,
Hon. Mackenzie Bowel, the premier,
would also resign.

The other day a s'rapplns ~ In
dian, smelling of campfire smoke and
whisky, walked into bicycle store on
Delaware street, says the Kansas City
Star. For long time he gazed at the
bicycles ranged down both sides of the
room, then he pointed at one and said,
"Me want" After long dicker he
bought O secondhand wheel for $50,
every cent he had. He had a return
ticket to the Indian Territory, and he
borrowed dollar from the bicycle man
to "eat with" going home. Then he
pushed his bicycle out Of the door and
up the street. There are now many
Indians riding bicycles down in the
territory. At least thirty are in use at
Talequau, and the towns of Muskogee,
Vinta, Sepulpa and many others have
riders. Imagine an Indian war with
this new state of affairs. A little hand
full of men-they are always little
handfuls- are crouched behind the
ruins of their wagon and the bodies of
their dead mules selling their lives
dearly. Just out of rifle shot there
circles about them on bicycles band
OF fierce and bloodthirsty Indians
wearing little caps with green visors
and trimmed with eagle feathers.
When everything looks darkest the
whirr of wheels is heard in the distance
and troop of United States bicyclery
dash up, the steel of their machines
glinting in the sun and with ringing
cheers charge in pursuit of the retir-
ing Indians, who pump away across
the prairies at full speed.
