FIERCE FIGHT BETWEEN STUDENTS
Many Heads Broken and Several Sc
riOusly Injured.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, Feb. 21.-The
toughest and most obstinate hand to hand
encounter that was ever known at Wesleyan
university took place between the sophomores
and freshmen tonight. Both classes, con-
sisting in all of about 200 students, fought
nearly two hours on the college grounds
Clothes were torn from the backs of the con-
testants and blood freely flowed Six men
were carried off the campus either in an
unconscious or exhausted condition and many
others were injured and hurriedly left the
battle ground in order to avoid meeting
members of the faculty, It is the custom
Of Wesleyan students to fire, cannon every
year on the evening of Washington's birth
day The freshmen usually undertake this,
and the sophomores do all they can to pre-
vent them. This year the bodies met and a
desperate encounter followed.

Likely to be n COntestins Delegation

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-There is reason to be-
lieve that there will be contesting deega-
tions from Illinois to the national demo-
cratic convention in July. The silver men in
control of the state organization will prob
ably succeed in electing e full delegation Of
waite metal enthusiasts. The opponents,
consisting of democrats who demand a gold
plank in the platform are determined to
make a fight, and led by Ben Cable have
already laid plans to drag the contest into
the convention. AS proof of the sincerity Of
the sound money wing of the party, it is said
Mr.. Gable has engaged sixteen rooms at the
Auditorium for the accommodation of the
forty eight delegetes he expects to have on
the ground when the ball opens July T.. The
plan is to elect a Cable delegate in every
congressional district where an Altgeld-Hen-
richsen man is chosen and then carry the
contest to the committee on credentials, to
be chosen by the national convention. 1t is
also hnted that similar contests are to be
made by the sound money men in all Of the
states.

These statistics are given in detail for the

does not state the number of English and
American cannon with the cobwebs left over
the mouths. Other letters say that further
massacres are feared in Kharput The Turks
say that they killed too few the last mas
sacre, and will kill more the next time. The
Turkish government, having learned that
our missionaries were giving or cents a
day to the destitute, in some instances have
taken this money by force of taxes, and from
this cause, the letter adds, many are still
starving and dying.

of congress toward it. Warner Miller will
go to Washington to appear before the house
committee and outline the views of the
board as to the cost of the canal and how
it should be controlled. The company Is firm
in the belief that its cost will be much less
than reported by the government engineers
and they say that if the United States does
not want to help build it they expect to be
able to secure sufficient capital in Europe.
The work will be pushed as soon as they re-
