A game of baseball was in progress
when a gang of drunken Italians
charged upon the players and specta-
tors with revolvers, clubs and stones.
Last night an Italian had been arrest
ed for assault and battery. A number
of young men took him from the con-
stable and numerically beat him. The
Italians, hearing of this, threatened re-
venge. They fulfilled their threats to-
day. The first inning had just been
finished when there was a pistol shot.
1t was followed in a few minutes by
a promiscuous discharge of firearms.
The crowd attempted to run away, but
the Italians chased them. discharging
their pistols and throwing stones. The
foreigners were almost mad with rage
and blazed away necessarily until the
police arrived. Several of the Italians
were arrested and more will be taken
into custody tomorrow.

charge of them and procured a law book
from which q certain juror proceeded to
expound legal lore to his companions. At

peared In court and reported that there
was no probability Of their reaching an
agreement. They retired again for fur
ther consultation when the court was in

DEFEATED BY NORM
John s. Johnson, the American Bicy-
clist, Trails the Frenchman
THEN THE CROWD CHEERED
The Vanquished Was Not Treated
I'm a Sportsmanlike Manner
Johnny Promises to Beat His
Man Later On-Sports.

Paris. May 17.-Morin, the celebrated
French bicyclist. beat John S. johnson,
the American, in both heats of the
1000 metres race at the Veldrome d'La
Seine to-day. There was extrsordin-
ary interest manifested in the race,
and there has been a great deal of
warmth of feeling developed between
the two principals over misunderstand-
ings as to the time and place of meet
ing. Both were in a determined mode
and spectators felt sure of a good race.
The appearance of the two riders was
the occasion of a hearty outburst of
applause. Again during the race John
son was accorded an ovation when he
stopped to allow his adversary to
change a punctured tire.
Upon the resumption of the race,
Johnson led, and after several attempts
to get NORM in front, ESQ as to force
him to set the pace) both stopped and
leaned against the railings. NORM
thereupon dismounted and walked off.
while Johnson finished the course. This
match was, however. declared void, ow-
ing to the leaning on the railing. Upon
this, the crowd hooted and applauded,
according to the direction their SYM
pathies took.
A pacemaker was then provided.
johnson again took the lead and all
efforts to get NORM in front proved fu-
Johnson spurted, but NORM caught him
and finished a length ahead. The sec
ond heat showed n repetition of the
tactics in the first heat, Johnson being
forced into the lead. He spurted upon
entering the last lap and gained about
80 yards on his adversary, but was
again caught and beaten about a
length.
The defeat of the American pleased
the crowd and the winning French
man was frantically cheered by. the
thousands of spectators. Some of Nor
ms admirers fiocked to the track and
surrounded him, tearing his sweater
from his back and replacing 1t by n
tri-colored Jersey, in which patriotic
apparel they escorted him around the
track in a triumphal procession amid
ceilings and acclamations. Johnson
took his defeat in very good part.
though he did not relish the treatment
that had been accorded him either by
his opponent or by the crowd. After
the race Johnson said to a representa-
tive of the associated press: IT was
fairly outpaced on both finishes all
right enough, but / desire to express
my regret that I was not treated in a
more sportsmanlike manner by NORM.
After he had been paced for two laps
he fatty refused to render me any SIM
liar service. The crowd also pelted me
with gravel as we went along the
track"
Tom Eek, Johnson's trainer, said
that the American would do better in a
fortnight. Johnson is also engaged TO
race in Paris next Sunday and Mon
day, May "a and 25. He only raced to-
day. Eek said, to satisfy public curl
osity

JAPAN'S AMBITION.
A Commission From That Country VIII
Study Electrical Power.

San Francisco, May 17-Among the
passengers on the steamship China Is a
special mission from the mikado of Japan
to study into the workings Of the electri-
cal power and telephone systems of the
United States. The commission is COM
posed of S. Mine. II. Datayama and Y.
Wadachi. They will be about two weeks
in examining into the telephone and cleo
trical systems of San Francisco. Sacra-
mento. Fresno and other cities and will
then proceed to eastern cities. They may
also visit Europe. They expect to be alb
sent from Japan six or seven months.
"All over our empire now" said Com
missioner Mine. there Is great interest
in electrical power and in electrical light
ing. Electricity has been introduced in
several cities but the government wants
IL all over the country. 1t is the same
way with telephones. We have seen the
value of them and desire to have them
generally adopted. 1t is our intention to
study into the workings of both systems
in the United States. We want to gener-
ate electricity from the many powerful
waterfalls in our country and use 1t for
electric railways, general power and
lighting. Wherever we can we intend to
use electricity. 1T will. according to the
ideas of our government. be especially
valuable in our various public and pri-
vate enterprises. 1t is our desire also TO
utilize the long-distance telephone in
Japan"

Sabetha, Kan, May ia cyclone
from the southwest struck Sabetha at
1880 o'clock this evening and tore an
ugly gap through the business and resi-
dence portions of the town. A score of
buildings were destroyed and several
persons badly injured, two of whom
will probbaly die. The Rock Island
depot was razed, together with a
dozen residences in its vicinity. Five
persons who were in the depot at the
time escaped without serious injury,
though Mr.. Austin, the telegraph ope-
rator, was carried several blocks by
the force of the wind. On Main street
the front of nearly every store build

IOnsO AlII.-tne wars.
Havana, May ITO day is the tenth
anniversary of the birth of King AL
fonso XIII, and to celebrate that event
the fines which have been laid upon the
Cuban press have been removed.
Later details have been received of
the engagement near Limonar, in Ma
tanzas. Local forces of Limonar made
a reconnaissance after the engagement
and found 10 more bodies of insurgents
besides the bodies of Is which were left
on the field. Reliable information has
been received here by the authorities
that the insurgent loss is much greater
than at first believed, and that their
leader, Cephro, was seriously wounded,
besides one insurgent captain being
killed The insurgent leader, Cavilan,
is also wounded. Near Punta Grava,
in Havana province, at the farm of
Carbon, three squadrons of cavalry
surprised band of insurgents, who
left three killed when they retired. 1t
is supposed the insurgent leader, Del
Gado, was killed or wounded. Captain
Rapadan met the insurgents under
Sanguilly at Mount Castellanar Aqua
cato, in Havana province, and killed
four insurgents. The column of Colonel
Alonzo. passing by Guines de Nieranda,
in Santa Clara, pursued a band of in

RIVER AND HARBOR REPORT
appropriations VIII Be Pressed to
the Exclusion of Other BiIIs-The
Murray-Elliot Contested Case
From South Carolina.

Washington, May 1.-THE present
week in the senate bids fair to be given
up largely TO matters pertaining to the
District of Columbia. The considera-
tion of the dollar gas biIi'' win con-
sumo much time. and when it is dis
posed of the District appropriation bill
will be taken up If It is not cut out by
the conference report of the legislative
bill. 1t is expected that the District
appropriation bill will lead to consider
able discussion. There are numerous
items in it which win call for explana-
tion and provoke antagonism, not the
least of which Is the amendment
changing the house provision, cutting
off the specific appropriations for char
liable institutions. IL is alleged that
many of these concerns are sectarian,
and there will be an effort TO have the
house provision restored.
1t Is expected that there will be an
effort to have the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill recon-
mitted for further consideration of the
provision in regard to the United
States commissioners, as the house
provision, which the senate confreres
have accepted, is distasteful to many
of the senators. 1t is expected that the
conference report on the river and har-
Dor bill will be made early in the week,
but whether this viii consume much
time will depend upon how much of the
senate additions the senate confreres
may concede TO the house.
The senators are still disposed to
press the appropriations to the exclu-
sion of other business and win have
the fortihcations bill ready To take up
as soon as the District bill and the con-
ference on the other appropriation bills
are disposed of. They do not contem-
plate giving way TO other bills except
to those to which no opposition is made
until the last Of the appropriations
shall be passed. There are still three
appropriations which have not received
the attention of the senate. These are
the District of Columbia, Qualifications
and general deficiency.

United States Consul Burke at Malaga,
writes to the state department that a
new insect pest. as destructive TO wheat
as the phyloXera Is to the grape, has
damaged the crops in several provinces.
while owing to a severe drought not only
will the entire wheat crop be a total fall
