STUDENTS IN A FIGHT.
Supposed Insult to an Indian Cir
PrOVokes Riot at
indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 14.-The
state contest in OratOry last night was
signalized by one of the most disgrace
full rows that ever occurred in this city,
being caused by what was taken as q
wanton insult to Miss Gertrude Sim
mons, the Sioux maiden. who appeared
as the representative of Earlham college.
Before the opera house was opened the
representatives of Butler college. who
had the middle tier of boxes. succeeded in
stretching a wire across from one to the
other over the heads of the audience,
and during the preliminary exercise q
large umbrella was suspended from it
with the word Butler printed in large
letters upon it.
A few moments later the picture of a
woman with a drawn mouth was sus-
pended from the Wire. On it was in
scribed Earlham-Humility," and the
picture was recognized at once as a
caricature of Miss Simmons, the Sioux
maiden, who represented Earlham in the
contest. The Earlham representatives
became furious rs they recognized the
significance of the caricature and the
audience joined them IN misses and cries
of Shame, shame"
Then the umbrella fell and the strug-
gle for possession of it was terrific. Men
were piled up on top of each other. kick
ing, surglng, swearing, tearing out shirt
fronts and grabbing hold of neckties,
and number were bleeding from the
nose and from scratches on the face
and hands.
Police officers finally separated the
complaints and got hold of the umbrella,
but it was torn into shreds and only the
handle and ribs remained.
1t happened that eX-President Benja-
min Harrison was sitting in the imne-
diate vicinity of the place where the
umbrella fell and in a moment he was
hemmed in by the struggling students.
He was attired in a dress suit and was
conspicuous for a few moments as he
stood on one OF the seats looking for 4
way of escape Taking advantage of an
opening in the crowd he ran hastily to
the front door and disappeared on the
street

WOULD FIGHT \ DUEL,
Irish Agi-ator Demands Satisfac-
ton from an A. p. A,
Apostle.

Washington, d. c., March. 14.-Repre-
sentative Linton of Michigan, the leader
Of the A. 2. A. sentiment in the House,
received some days ago a letter from
Capt Thomas Phelan, the well-known
Irish agitator of Kansas City, in which
Capt Phelan challenged him to fight a
duel at Bladensburg. the challenge being
preceded by a long denuncation of Mr.
Unions course in opposing the church
school appropriations and the placing of
the statue of Father Marquette in the
capitol.
MI. Linton paid no attention to the
communication, but from some other
source it found its way into the news
papers. Mr.. Linton was asked today if
he had made any reply to the challenge.
He said: Ever since the House defea ted
the appropriations for sectarian institu-
tons in the District Of Columbia bill,
partly through my efforts, my mail has
been loaded every day with great num-
bers of letters from religious fanatics
and cranks, denouncing me violently,
threatening dire vengeance and death in
various forms. All of these letters I
have thrown in the waste basket. There
have been so many that there was not
time to read them all and | have paid no
attention to any of them. This letter
from Phelan was one of them and | sup
others. / had forgotten the letter. nor
did | think who Phelan was until the
letter and a sketch of his career was
printed in the papers. Since publicity
has been given to it l may conclude to
make some reply-not so much to Phelan
as to the fanatical spirit which he repre-
sents.
'Of course fighting duels is not in my
line. That sort of performance is CON
sidered rather ridiculous by Americans
of this generation. The threats which
l have received from cranks have not
alarmed me in the least and I would have
preferred that no publicity be given to
them.
L am not an enemy to the church,
but l am unalterably opposed to govern
ment appropriations to assist sectarian
work and to any sort of union Of church
and state, and shall continue TO oppose
them"

to Have Murdered Two
Negroes,

Berlin, March 14.-Dr. Kayser, di-
rector of the colonial office, announced
III the Reichstag today that in view of
the charges made by Herr Bebel (who
accused DR.. Carl Peters, the explorer,
of causing a negro and negress to be
hanged without trial while he was i'm
perlal commissioner in Africa during
1891, it being further alleged that the
doctor had been intimate with the ne
gress), fresh inquiry will be held into
the matter. DR. KaySer added that the
government was not aware that after
Dr. Peters had proclaimed officially that
the negroes alluded to were hanged as
spies, the English bishop, Rev. Tucker,
declined to receive Peters, saying he
would have nothing to do with a muir
derer. DR.. Kayser added that the pre-
vlous evidence had not established the
guilt of DR.. Peters in the eyes of the
law
Count Won Arnim then read a letter
from DR.. Peters declaring that Herr
BebeFs assertions We're partly untrue and
partly exaggerated. The negro, DR..
Peters said, was tried by court martial
for burglary and the negress was never
punished, but was returned to her pa
rents in September, 1891. 1t was another
negresS. not his servant, he explained
who, after having been sentenced to be
confined in irons for six months, was
condemned to death in February, 1892
for attempting to escape. DR.. Peters
further denied that he had been married
to a negress according to Mohammedan
rites.
DR.. Kayser then read a statement in
which DR.. Peters admitted that the con-
demned negress was his mistress.
Lenzmann declared that DR.. Peters
was a mad man or a monster and that
he, Leist and Wehlan should be pun
ished according to law.
