Evansville, Ind, Sept. 1.-The police
were notified that a gang of tramps
was creating a riot at the Belt Line
junction with the Evansville and Terre
Haute line, about mile from the city.
They took a special engine and went
to the scene of the trouble. As the
engine slowed up three men made

gineer. The officers captured them af-
ter hard fight, in which the tramps
were badly beaten. They gave their
names as James Doran, John Wilson,
and Joe Smith. They were taken to
the train dispatcher's office, where ia
cob REM was found unconscious, with
his head badly cut. He was restored
to consciousness and recognized the
three men as his assailants. Oscar

three men were given trial this morn
ing for highway robbery, found guilty
and sentenced to the penitentiary for

AFFECTS MISSIONARIES.
If l6 To Is The Go Foreign Missions
Will Suffer Great Hardship.

w III oullGi
New York, Sept. 1.-The foreign mis-
sionary societies of the Methodist, Bap-
fist and Presbyterian churches have
come out with a statement that they
consider their interests will be greatly
damaged if a free silver candidate is
elected. This fact was brought to
light by investigation which Miss
Helen Varick Boswell made in pursu
ance of a scheme for reaching the
wives of farmers.
Miss Boswell has been busy with va
rious plans on behalf of the West Side
Republican Womans Club to inculcate
gold teachings throughout the country.
She received great encouragement
when she visited the missionary boards
to seek from them arguments which
would touch the women of the rural
districts, who are, as a rule, deeply in
terested in the foreign missions. She
found that the missions considered this
very vulnerable point, where argu-
ments would surely prevail.
1T will make a vast difference in
their efficiency, the secretary tells me-"
Miss Boswell said today. "Only one
half as many missionaries and one
half as many books and tracts can be
sent as heretofore if they must be sent
on a silver basis of 16 to L.

OUR TOY CRUISER.
LITTLE BANCROFT WILL GO TO
TURKEY.
So Small in Coal Capacity That a Con-
tinuOus Voyage Would Soon
Exhaust Her:


Turkish affairs is being followed
closely by officials here. Minister
Terrell, at ConstantinOple, has not
transmitted further advices than
those of Thursday. Officials at the
state department feel that American
interests are protected by the pres
ence of the cruisers San Francisco
and Marblehead in the Mediterra-
mean waters. The San Francisco is
mt AleXandrette and the Marblehead
at Genoa. The Minneapolis also be-
longs to this fleet, and can be brought
from Queenstown on short notice.
The riotous situation at CONSTANT
nople has renewed the attention of Of
ficials to the desirability of having
the United States represented by
warship nearer Constantinople, with
in easy reach of the American lega-
ton. Great Britain and other first
class powers are represented by dis
patch boats. For some months the
state department has been seeking to
have the United States similarly rep
resented, and in this connection appli-
cation has been made to have the
small cruiser Bancroft, which has
about the rank of dispatch boat, sta
toned at COnstantinOple. The pres
ent crisis renews the necessity for
American representation near the
Turkish capital This necessity and
the preparation of the Bancroft for
sea service leads to the impression
that the little ship will ultimately be
| added to the Mediterranean fleet, and
if possible, sent up the Dardanelles
| to COnstantinOple.
Only with the assent of Turkey
| could this be done, as the forts at the
mouth of the Dardanelles are strong
enough to sink n dozen first class war
ships, while the Bancroft is a minia
ture cruiser. When the first move
| was made toward sending the Ban
| croft abroad several weeks ago an Of
fetal inquiry was made of the naval
bureau of engineering as to her ca
| pacity for sea trip. AS she was de-
signed merely for practice use by the
naval cadets at Annapolis, the bureau
answered that the coal capacity of the
| ship was so limited that she could not
make a direct trip across the ocean.
At most, her coal would not permit a
continuous trip of more than $500
miles. 1t is said, however, that she
might go by relays, first to Halifax,
where she could coal, then to AGOre
islands for another cOaling, and
thence the balance of the distance.
This would make long trip, proba-
bly, two months, by which time any
present emergency might havepassed.
| The Bancroft will be ready for a
cruise in about two weeks and will
then receive her orders. In the mean
| time she is being fitted out.
| There is an unverified story about
| the state and AMY departments to the
effect that an understanding has been
reached between the sultan and the
United States that this government
shall be allowed to have n vessel
| within the Dardanelles.

In a few months he changed the paper
to twice a week, and in March, 1891. it
was changed to daily paper, and Nj.
Plaisted has been publishing it as such
ever since.
He has been the only person to make
Democratic paper succeed in River
side. During the last campaign the En-
erprise was the only Daily Democratic
paper in Southern California outside
of Los Angeles that supported Bryan
and free silver.
He has been a prominent figure in
Democratic politics in Southern Calffos-
MIA for some time: was chairman of the
Riverside county delegation to the last
Democratic state convention at Sacra-
mento, member of the committee on
platform and resolutions. and a member
of the advisory committee of the DEM
ocratic state central committee. He was
also chairman of the last Democratic
Riverside county convention at Perris.
Two years ago he was a candidate for
the Riverside postoffice. at the hands
of the Democratic party. and although
endorsed by the Democratic county cen
trail committee and nearly all the prom
inent Democrats in Southern Califor-
MIA, Washington influence went against
him. 1t did not cool his ardor for the
Democratic party in the least. but he
kept up the fight for the Democratic ?
party in a city w here Democrats are
few and far between. Mr.. Plaisted, will
continue to publish the Enterprise rs

charged with selling liquor after mid

Thomas arose and asked that the court
dismiss it, as he had found that the mem
bers of the committee who claimed to
have bought the liquor did not know who
sold it to them. They had patronized the
place, and afterwards sent man back
to find out the proprietor's name and the
complaint was made against him. When
he appeared in court none Of the wit
misses knew him nor could they identify
the man who waited on them. Accord
ingly he should be obliged to ask for a
dismissal. With smile. the justice
granted the motion, and another Park

sworn in so that he could carry a gun
and have the protection of an officer $
star. He told me that he had received
threatening letters and from other
sources Understood that an attack was
to be made upon him, and that his life
might be in danger. Under these cir
cumstances l granted his request but
cOnditionally.
II told him plainly that he must not
attempt to use his badge to make an
arrest, nor must he meddle in anyone S
business. In his appointment the words
are inserted for sslf-protection only
and this is the sole purpose of his APP
pointment. If he attempts to use his
