A FREE FIGHT.
1t Continued For Nearly an Hour on
Centre Street.

1t Continued For Nearly an Hour on
Centre Street.
Between five and six o'clock last evening
three Lithuanians standing at the corner of
Centre street and Plum alley shouted
Huff ~ at two Hebrews who passed them.
The Interpretation of the term is "hog"
The Hebrews paid no attention to the re-
mark, but a German who happened to follow
them did not take the insult as easy when
they shouted Huff I" at him. Words were
exchanged and the three attacked the
people assembled. but no attempt was made
to stop the fracas. Most of the spectators
thought the fight was between Lithuauians
only and the general cry was Let them fight
it out" When 10 was learned, however,
that the man getting the worst Of the
battle was a German putting up fight
against three Lithuanians the cry changed to
one of fair play. The German was extri-
Gated from his uncomfortable position and
one of the spectators said TO him, "NOw
pitch into them. and we'll see fair play"
The German, who is blacksmith employed
in one of the shops of town, acted upon the
prompting A blow from the shoulder
sent one of his assailants to the
ground like a ielled OK and second
man went down in like manner The third
tried to run, but the blacksmith was too
quick. This part Of the fight was continued
about ten minutes and when it ended the
blacksmith had the field to himself. Torn
collars and spots Of blood marked the scene
of the battle this morning

NOTES.
Shenandoah sent down representative
delegation, a remark freely made.
This was dull convention day for the
Democracy. There were few work, re- in
town outside Of the delegates.
Much laughter was occasioned when the
name of Andrew jackson. a delegate. was
called and the Secretary wanted to know his
other name.
r. ]. Mullahey did effective work for his
layorite NJ. }. Scanlan
Chairman Marr rigidly enforced the rule
excluding everybody from the floor of the
convention, excepting delegates and news
paper representatives. As result perfect
order was maintained
The vote Of Pottsville on the first ballot
| was TOole received the vote of nine dele.
gates, Sallade seven and Higgins two.
Apparently the Democracy has no use foi

do that in November.

the second time that the former has gone up
against the men who profess to control the
ward, and defeated them both times.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
Results Of tho Contests In Town On
Saturday.

The contests at the Democratic primaries
In town on Saturday were Of q spirited and
interesting character particularly In the
First and Second wards, whore the faction
behind NJ. j Scanlan put up strong fight.
The result in the Fifth ward was a surprise,
as the Scanan people had counted upon a
very close contest and reports were circulated
about an hour before the primary
closed to the effect that the Higgins dele
gates were beaten. The latter, however had
quite an easy race But taking the results
as q whole it will be seen that the Scanlan
people succeeded in bagging pretty strong
representation. Shenandoah had POO votes
in the convention to-day and of these HIig-
gins people, secured 756 and the scaulan
people 53l The latter secured the delegates
in the First and Second wards which gavo
him 4lO votes from the former ward and 1924
from the latter. The votes Higgins secured
were POI from the Third ward. POI from the
Fourth and 85i from the Fifth The results

SKULL CRUSHED.
a Probable Murder Enacted in the First
Ward Last Night.

John Sarpolis Lithuanian about 3s years
Of age aud having wife and three children,
who reside on East Lloyd street. lies at the
Miners hospital at Fountain Springs in q
critical condition and, in all probability, will
die The injury from which he suffers is a
fracture of the skull affecting the brain and
causing complete paralysis Of the left side Of
the body. The wound was inflicted with
murderous intent. The details Of the case
are meagre. People suspected Of knowing
the facts are reticent and the police are not
inclined to say much until arrests are made
From what has been learned it appears
that Sarpolis left the saloon Of Matt. Rakis,
on East Centre street, at about o'clock last
night lie left by the rear entrance and an
hour later was found unconscious at the rear
of the saloon An alarm was given and sew
[ eral constables and police hurried to the
scene Drs Church, Burke and Stein were
also called They found that the
victim was suffering from fracture
of the skull, ON the top and to
the right of the centre line
Paralysis having set in the victim was
unable to give the police any facts. It was
supposed that the wound, which was a
| frightful one, was inflicted with the blunt
end Of an ak, or hatChet but it now appears
that q threecorner piece of rock found in
the yard with blood and human hair upon it
was the instrument used.
Two arrests were made at a late hour last
night John Kososki and Vlady Rtohkow-
ski were taken into custody and are in the
| lookup. John Kircznowsky, Anthony Ka-
MATHS aud two or three others, whose names
are not known, are wanted, and the police
expect TO catch them before tomorrow. 1t
is said that when Sarpolis left the saloon he
was followed into the yard by Anthony
Kamaits. Vlady Ritchkowski Jonn Kos
loski and John Kricznowsky, and that the
/ quartette know all about the affair.
Justice Toomey concluded to await for ad-
ditional arrests and not have a hearing Of
the case to-day. 1t is presumed details Of the
affair will be more plentiful within the next
twelve hours
The injured man was removed TO the
Miners hospital this morning. Upon arrival
there he was at once sent to the operating
room and after an operation was performed
Dr. j. c. Biddle, the surgeon-in-chief, said
The man suffered from a compound de-
pressed fracture of the skull The prognosi:
of the case is death. Brain matter was ooz
ing out of the wound. We removed piece
of the skull an inch in width and p inche.
long This piece of bone pressed upon the
brain. There was another piece of bone a
half inch square that pressed down into the
brain to the depth of about two inches"
The authorities are working hard on the
case and hope to have the guilty parties in
custody before morning

THE SCHOOLS OPEN.
A Large Inc ease in Attendance OF
Former Years.


Former Years.
The public schools of town re-opened this
morning with a large attendance. The en-
rJllment is not known yet, as Superintendent
Cooper has been too busy with other matters
TO compile the figures He was besieged this
morning by applicants for cards Of admission
aud his office was crowded until noon. The
change made by the last Legislature in the
compulsory education law whereby the law
is extended to children ranging from to 1G
years of age will no doubt greatly increase
the enrolment over former years Parents
should bear in mind that all children must
present certificates of vaccination before they
can be admitted to the schools, under the
law, and parents can facilitate matters and
greatly assist the school authorities by attend,
ing to the vaccinations promptly.
Up to Saturday evening the enrolment ag-
gregated 1864 pupils divided as follows
High school, l2l; second grade grammar, 226;
first grade, 207; fourth grade primary $50;
third grade, ass; second grade 5Ss; first
grade 5s4 Up to noon to-day about 10
pupils were enrolled most Of them being ap-
plicauts for the lowest primary grade.

OF NO INTEREST.
Public Not Concerned in Arrival of
Japanese.

Deputy Collector McStocker, Port
Surveyor Stratemeyer, ex-Judge Ma
COON, Chester A. Doyle and two stem
ographers, left Oceanic wharf at 1880
last night for the purpose OF making
another official investigation into the
status of the Cos Japanese immigrants,
whose term of quarantine expires to-
day.
A reporter for the Advertiser re-
quested permission of Deputy Collector
MeStocker to accompany the expedi-
ton, but as it was to be something out
Of the ordinary and bore a somewhat
legal aspect he was referred to Judge
Magoon, with the remark that he (Mr.
McStocker), personally, had no objec-
tions to a member of the press going
with them.
EX-Judge Magoon, however, was of
a different opinion. On receiving an af-
firmative answer to his, question: do
you belong to the newspaper" he
promptly denied the request, and re-
marked that it was mot matter for
the newspapers, being an official in
vestigation, the press cannot be rep
resented
''But it is a matter which concerns
the public" ventured the reporter.
1T does not make any difference
retorted the attorney. You can hear
of it after the investigation is over"
Then Chester Doyle suggested that
the Honolulu papers could copy it out
of the Kona Echo. And with this echo
ringing in his ears the reporter paid g
| hackman two bits and walked back tc
the Office, still unconvinced that the
public was not interested in the land
ing of Cos Japanese students, whose
claims to a residence in Hawaii are MOI
considered legal by some authorities.

Government l can take no action IN
the premises until / hear from Toxic
"On the other hand, suppose the
case is decided against the Japanese,
and the Government orders their per-
emptory return. What will be your
action them
IF contract laborers: understand,
there is distinction between contract
and free laborers, if the contract Ia
borers have come here against the
laws of the Republic will have moth
ing to say after this is proven in court.
My actions will be in reference 70 the
free laborers, those who have $50 in
their possession, and are refused
landing because there is suspicion
that the money does not belong TO
them. l do not think those men will
go back
Your position in that case, Mr..
Shimamura, will be aggressive. and in
this place to be aggressive, one must
have something more stable than the
Pacific Ocean behind him. Do you ex-
pect warship from Japan in response
to the dispatches which you sent on
the Australia yesterday, the Peru on
Tuesday, or the steamer China. which
sails for Yokohama tomorrow"
Again l must decline to answer
your question l would be pleased to
give you all the information you re-
quest, but there are some forms which
must be respected in diplomatic cir
eles, and answering such questions is
one of them"
.'Then let me put the question in a
different way" said the reporter. do
you deny that you have requested your
Government to dispatch a warship to
Honolulu without delay, and that the
cable was sent on one of the steamers
which left for San Francisco within
| the past two days?"
81 decline to answer either question,
and you must respect my position"
AS there was no denial, it is reason
able to believe that man-o-war has
been ordered. Allowing seven days foI
the dispatch to reach San Francisco
and II days for the warship to steam
between Japan and Honolulu, she will
be here in less than three weeks. In
1898. when Saburo Fugii was Consul
General % Japan to Honolulu he sent
a request for warship. Two of then
reached here by constant steaming II
days after leaving Yokohama
