RIOT AMONG STUDENTS.
Occurs During an Oratorical Contest
at indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 13.-During
the oratorical contest tonight the But
Ter students hung out piece of can
vas with a woman caricatured upon it
and beneath it the words, '.Earlham-
Humiliation"
The Earlham students construed this
into a reflection upon Miss Gertrude
Simmons, the Indian maiden who rep
resented that institution, and Kisses
were heard from all parts of the opera
house.
A few minutes later an umbrella fell
from the upper boxes 10 the floor, and
the Butler students tried to recover it
The Earlham students made a rush for
it, and q fight ensued in which some
fifty engaged, and which was stopped
only when a detail of police arrived.
Ex-President Harrison was in the
midst of the struggling mass of human
ity, but finally extricated himself and
left the scene.

LIQUID AIR IN COMMERCE.

Now Being Manufactured.


Now Being Manufactured.
Until near the end of the last century
chemists were agreed that water was
an element, or, in other words, a SIM
pie substance, incapable of being sep
arated into component parts. 1t was
then discovered that water, instead of
being simple LIQUID substance, was in
reality a chemical combination of two
invisible gases, oxygen and hydrogen.
Experiments were Immediately per-
formed by scientists all over the world
with a view to testing the soundness of
this doctrine. and its truth was CON-
firlned in each instance.
Having found that water could be
divided into two gases, chemists then
devoted themselves to the task of re-
versing the operation and forming
water by bringing the two gases to-
gether. One outcome of these expert
ments was to excite interest in the
problem OF condensing any given gas
to a liquid, or even to solid condition.
In the case Of steam this had already
been accomplished, and the task was

TIE STRIKE AT CHICAGO.
Seven Thousand Taiiors Go Out in
sympathy with the Cutters.

Seven Thousand IatiorS 90 Out III
Sympathy with the Cutters.
CHICAGO, March 13.-Seven thou
sand men and women, members OF the
fourteen local unions of tailors, went
on a strike this morning in sympathy
with the clothing cutters and trimmerS
who have been out for some time.
Since the cutters and trimmerS'
trouble with their employers began,
the tailoring trade has been very dull,
and leaders of the new strike say that
many workmen have been idle for weeks
for lack of material to work on. These
people are not included in the estimate
given at headquarters that 10000 gar
ment workers are involved in the
strike which began to-day. The lead
ers declare that 5000 tailors who were
not members of the union have joined
hands with them, believing the en-
ployers intended to reduce their wages
after the defeat of the cutters and trim
mers.
Secretary Abel of the Clothing Cut
ters' Association said $4,000 tailors had
responded to the call to strike. Tele-
grams were sent to-day to Meyer
Schoenfeld of New York, the great Jew
organizer, and Charles F. Reichers,
President of the United Garment Work
ers of America, requesting their pres
ence in Chicago. They are expected
to arrive before Monday.
The strikers are confident of winning,
because spring orders are coming in
and must be filed while the strike of
the cutters and trimmers has depleted
the stock of unfinished garments. The
manufacturers declare they are not af-
fected by the strike. They are still
ordering non-union cutters from New
York.
At meeting Of the cutters and trim
mers tonight it was decided to call out
all their members. This will tie up the
entire clothing manufacturing industry

ROME, March 13.-Official confirma-
ton has been received of the rumor that
negotiations were in progress to bring
about peace between Italy and Abys-
sinia. The news has given general sat
isfaction, for the great mass of the peo-
pie have been opposed to the war, es-
pecially when there were prospects that
reserves would be called out to serve in
Abyssinia-
Ever since this action seemed prob
able men who were liable for military
service have been fleeing from Italy
The railroads into France have been
loaded down with refugees. And this
flight to avoid service in the army, in
stead of diminishing, has been increas-
ing, until it is about reaching the point
of a panic. News was received to-day
that the whole garrison at Verona has
deserted and has crossed the Austrian
border into Tyrol, taking their arms
with them. Hundreds of Italian de-
serters are crossing the Austrian border
every day
The news from Africa continues dis
heartening. The Abyssinian King
threatens the Italian garrison at Adj
grat with annihilation, and the situa-
ton is almost equally dangerous further
north, in the neighborhood of Kasala.
The Dervishes are closing in on that
town in large numbers.
News was received to-day by the Gov
ernment authorities of another Italian
defeat A large force of Dervishes at
tackled Sabdevali, a small place between
Adigrat and Kasala. The Italian gar
rison, greatly outnumbered, was driven
from the place and retreated to the hills.
The loss on each side is unknown, but is
believed to be considerable.

MIR. MORGAN REPLIES
To the Structures Recently Made
Upon His Regime.

OpOA AHhS AeS 6 AA'AGs
Rev. David Morgan writes as fol-
lows:
CAS- the Globe seems to be anxious
to give me a liberal advertisement, let
me request that it make sure Of it's
facts before 1t proceeds with its criti-
cism. I do not claim to be infallible,
but simply ask justice. AS regards the
meeting in Minneapolis, held to con-
slider the question Of what to do with
the tramp, I was asked to speak, and
the position [ took-that a chance
should be given every man to earn his
bread and not to give to able-bodied
men free soup-was Endorsed by nearly
every person in the meeting, by all
the leaders in charity work present,
and is Endorsed by all charity workers
in st. Paul and in the United States,
and it is the motto Of men who are
in sympathy with unfortunate human
ity You cannot find any authority on
charity work who will disagree on this
point.
But if the G o b and the critics
want to open a free soup and lodging
house there is plenty of chance, to try
the experiment. AS regards the boy
Of whom I spoke in Red Wing, 1 can
substantiate every statement I made
in regard to lack of ability to do the
Commonest things by the evidence OF
every one on the Bethel, who tried to
Cedcn MIN, 0Iu IIldl 10 ScNSA al pCi SOA1os
It is not true that he was not expect
ed to work. but we had directions to set
him to work, and he did his best, but
was ignorant of how to do the simplest
things. AS I said, he is not the only
one who has come to us from 1nStitu-
tons who, while educated in book
knowledge and good manners, was ig-
norant of how to build a fire or do COM
mon chores, which is so necessary for
a boy or girl who must soon go out
into the world,i in which they find 1t diff
ferent from in an institution. This
criticism is not new, but for years
charity workers have been calling the
attention Of such institutions to these
defects.
''As regards soliciting in public
schools, never entered a school in
my life to ask aid for any cause, let
alone the Bethel. I am not responsible
for any person who may be soliciting.
The Ladies' Auxiliary society employs
an agent to do that work, and all mon
ey or other things given to the Bethel
goes to them, Of which Mrs r. M.
Newport is president No moneys or
goods come into my hands. I may be
unfortunate and need a guardian, and
no doubt there are many who would
like to have the authority to tell me
when to speak and what to say, but
when I make an application for such,
I do not think the court will appoint
any from that class who are so anxious
for NE to keep still.

have secured q confession from one Of
the men, which clears up shooting
ARRAY and robbery which occurred on
the railroad between Melrose and st.
Cloud the night of Oct. "a.
That night a party Of five harvest
hands were quietly cuddled UP in a
corner of a freight car on the Great
Northern road doing the best they
could to reach ST. Paul without having
to give up any of their hard earned
cash for fares. The train left Melrose,
twenty-five miles west Of ST. Cloud,
at $50 p. m. and the harvest hands
were congratulating themselves that
they had not been discovered by the
train crew. Shortly after leaving the
station two men crawled into the car
through the small window in the end
Of the car. The harvesters made no
objection to a couple more deadheads
being added to the crowd, but they did
a moment afterward when one Of the
new arrivals pulled out a revolver and
ordered all hands to put their hands
as high in the air as they could. The
five harveSterS were formed in a. row,
and, while one Of the men held the re-
volver, the other made a search of
the clothing Of the party. Something
over $100 in cash and a lot of trinkets
were secured by the two highwaymen.
One of the party, who lives at Spring
vale, Mimi. made objection to being
robbed and also offered resistance. The
result was that the robber with the
revolver took a shot at the victim,
putting bullet through his right arm
near the shoulder. The robbers then
left the train. At ST. Cloud the har-
vesters alighted and informed the po-
lice authorities of the affair. The men
who had been robbed gave good de-
scrfption Of the highwaymen, and as
the description tailed with two of the
train crew, the st. Cloud police arrest
ed the two brakeman. Special Detec-
tive Noble went to st. Cloud, and, after
an investigation, learned that it would
