A POLITICAL RIOT.
DisgracefuI Street Scene at Hunt
ingtOn, W. Va.

Huntington, w. Ha., April "a scene
unparalleled in the history OF Hunting
ton was witnessed on Third avenue, the
leading thorughfare of the city, Mt II
o'clock this morning. 1t was "a riot be-
tween Democrats and Republicans, the
result of Thursdays city elections.
The fight began between DR.. LIE.
Sage. Republican leader, and George In
gram, Democratic leader. In five.minutes
nifty people became involved and knives
and clubs were used with telling effect
on both sides.
Women, who were on the street, fled for
their lives and riot reigned supreme for
half an hour.
The police did not try to quell the dis
turbance, but rushed.in and used their
clubs on the heads of pri citizens
against whom they had personal grudges.
Matters finally quieted down, but
another outbreak is expected any moment.
L. is impossible at this writing to give a
list of the injured. It is not, however,
believed that any of them will die.

Treacherous Assault.

Canea, April 3.-The insurgents In thu

peninsula of that name, recently. asked:
the foreign admirals for permission SD

leave the peninsula. The authorization
was granted and to-day the insurgentb
with their families descended from tht
hills driving their cattle before them and
not suspecting any danger.
They had scarcely reached the lower
grounds when 1900 Bashi Bazouks sudj
denly fired upon them at range of only
220 yards. The Bashi Bazouks hail
emerged from Canea last evening and
made their way to the neighborhood OF
the Insurgents position, having apparr
emily received information that the Chriss
tians were about to evacuate the penins
sula.
The Turkish force consisted mainly OF
refugees who had been brought to Canea
from Selino by Sir Alfred Billioti, the
British consul here. After their arrival
in Cnnea they had been armed by the
governor in defiance of the promises that
had been made to the admirals. Their
arms had been taken from them when
they were compelled to evacuate Selino,
but they experienced not the slightest
difficulty in procuring other weapons by
direction of the governor. As
The insurgents were armed, md they
soon recovered from the surprise occa-
stoned by the sudden attack of the Bashi

whereupon the latter returned to Canea.
