EDITORS As POSTMASTERS.
Those Being Appointed May Continue
Their Newspaper Work.

Washington, Feb. S.-Hereafter edi-
tors appointed as postmasters will be
allowed to continue their newspaper
work in connection with their govern
ment duties, so long as it is conducted
in clean and orderly manner and
there is no neglect of duty pertaining
to the postoffice This decision was
announced by Assistant Postmaster
General Heath to-day. Every case will
stand on it's merits. 1t is said there
are more editors in the second and
third class postmasterships than In any
other branch of the government. This
policy is different from that of the
last administration, which notified edi-
-postmasters that they would not
be permitted to engage in partisan
writing.

That of Government May be Settled, Thus
Avoiding Foreclosure Sale.


Washington, Feb. S.-There seems to
be probability that the negotiations
now pending between the government
and the Union Pacific. reorganization
committee will result in settlement
of the governments claim against the
Kansas Pacific without the necessity
of a foreclosure sale. Up to yesterday
the best offer made by the committee
for the governments interest in the
road was $2,500,0OO, and upon this being
declined another proposition was made
on basis Of $4,5OO,0oo which was also
declined. The government is fixed in
it's purpose not to accept lass than s6,-
100000, the principal of the debt. and
as the difference between the amount
and the offer already made is only ST.
8030 1t is believed that before the
time arrives for making the motion
for leave to pay off the first mortgage
and for postponement of the sale the
full amount will have been offered and
accepted.

AMERICAN FRUITS.
Intimated That German Authorities Now
Believe They Acted Hastily.


Washington, Feb. SIT is intimated
that the German authorities are begin
ming to believe that they have acted
with undue precipitation in the en-
forcement of the DEGREES excluding
American fruits and it is said that a
disposition has been shown to attribute
the severity of the action taken to the
excessive zeal of subordinate officers
stationed at the principal ports and
on the frontier. To-day Ambassador
White cabled the state department
that the present Importation of live
plants was absolutely prohibited, but
that fresh fruit, not infected was be-
ing admitted freely. AS the value of
the live plants and shrubs exported
from the United States to Germany
last year was only a little more than
$4,000 the last phase of the exclusion
decree is not regarded as of very large
Importance.

Twenty-Five Arrive from Slsaguay-Drink-
ing and Gambling.

Victoria, B. c., Feb. S.-A special
from Nananimo states that the steam
er Noyo has arrived there from Skag-
uay. She had twenty-five disgusted
passengers aboard. tired of the country
after their first experience and several
denouncing the Klondike rush. The
treasure on board was $4,000. One of
the passengers said that 200 men could
do all the work offered at Skaguay and
that there were at least 500 men there
who had nothing to do but drink and
gamble. When the Noyo passed the
position of the Corona the ship was in
more critical condition than hereto
fore reported. The Noyo had no COM
munication with the wrecked passen-
gers on Lewis Island.

Hawaiian islands Not in Track of Conn
merce-AnOther Fleet Necessary.


merce-Another Fleet Necessary.
Washington, Feb. S.-Senator Petit
grew of South Dakota was the only
speaker on the Hawaiian annexation
treaty in the executive session of the
senate to-day. He opposed the treaty.
He asserted that in Hawaii there was
not one European laborer aside from
the Portuguese engaged on the sugar
plantations. If, he argued, we should
annex the islands the Japanese would
inevitably take possession of them and
we could not check their inroads un-
der our treaty with Japan. He con-
tended that whatever bounty we gave
or tariff we levied, the result would
be in the interest of Asiatic labor in
Hawaii. Senator Pettigrew held that
the encouragement of this species of
labor would be to the detrment of our
own commerce. The Asiaitcs, he said,
did not buy or use anything we pro-
duced.
He took issue with those who con-
tended that the Islands We're in the
track of commerce, saying that they
were not on the way to or from any
place or any country. If, he said, we
would fortify any outposts in the line
Of our travel to the orient, it should be
one of the Allutian islands, which We're
directly in the way Of commerce be-
tween the two hemspheres. He held
that fleet would be necessary for the
protection Of the islands if we should
own them and that if hostilities should
be begun against this country another
fleet would be necessary.
Suppose, for instance" he said
"San Francisco should be attacked by
the enemy and we should cable to
Honolulu for the fleet. cable having
been supposedly constructed. Many of
them would not be able to reach our
coast and if the others should be en-
gagged in day or two off the coast
their coal supply would be exhausted
and they would be perfectly helpless.
If, on the other hand, the islands
should be in the possession of a hostile
power, we would be perfectly secure
from an attack from that source for
the same reason. 1t is as absurd to
talk Of defending San Francisco from
Hawaii as it is to talk of defending
New York from ireland, for the dis
tanc els about the same. Senator Pet
tigrew will continue his speech to-mor-

THE cARRINGToN PUBLISHING CO.
STUDENT RIOT IN CHICAGO.
Two Thousand Attack the Police--Desper-
ate Conflict Ensues.

Chicago, Feb. S.-Two thousand stu
dents of the Rush medical college, the
Chicago college Of dental surgery and
the Marquette school engaged in
desperate conflict to-day at Harrison
and Wood streets with forty policemen.
The battle ragged with intermissions of
peace from noon until o'clock in the
evening. The police were compelled to
send in riot calls repeatedly and in the
early part of the scrimmage they were
badly worsted. 1t was free-for- all
rough and tumble fight. When the
students were finally routed they re-
treated to the college buildings. From
there they hurled down all kinds of
missiles upon the police, who were
chasing the offenders. A glass jar fill
ed with paste, thrown from the fourth
floor Of the college of dental surgery,
struck Policeman Brennan upon his
right arm, knocking him down.
Janitor Charles Christianson of the
Marquette school was badly beaten.
Christianson was only lately clothed
with police power and he endeavored
to assist the police. The students fell
upon him and he had to be carried
from the field of battle. 1t was found
necessary to summon police wagons
from three police stations.
Twice prisoners were wrested from
the police by the students. The stu
dents howled and jeered at the police.
This defiance caused the police to lose
control of themselves and they rushed
madly about in wild effort to arrest
every one in sight Brandishing clubs
and revolvers they chased the students
inside the college doors and forcibly
took them from the buildings. When
the riot was over and peace reigned,
twenty-five students had been placed
under arrest. The prisoners were
taken to the Luke street station, where
they were kept until o'clock, when
the last Of them was bailed out.
The trouble began by the students
engaging in a SNOWFALL fight in which
the policemen interfered and then the
students Joined forces and attacked the
officers. For a time the row was good
natured, but the fighting instinct came
to the surface in short time and
numerous scrimmages resulted. The
grand battle began at p. M, when the
officers arrested Carl Case, the son
of a professor in the dental school,
and who Is said to have been inno-
cent. The students took him from the
officers and later when another pris-
oner was locked in a patrol box, the
students smashed the box, rolled the
officers in the gutter and released the
prisoner. During the fight four stu
dents were badly clubbed and officers
Sullivan and Brennan were injured in
a manner so severe as to give them a
lay off.

Advises Democrats to Abandon Financi ial
Plank of 1896

Fairfield. Ia, Feb. Sex Governor
Boies made an address here tonight.
1t was his first utterance on the finan-
cial situation. He insisted that the bill
for free coinage of silver having been
cumstances and defeated at the polls,
the democratic party should abandon
the financial plank of 1896 and endeav-
or to rally on new ground. His speech
embodied a plan for a redeemable

thinks all democrats should be able to

The Chinese Loan.
London, Feb. S.-There was nothing
of Importance in the queens speech.
read to-day on the assembling of par
Lament, in addition to the facts sent
out in the forecast in these dispatches
yesterday. The most interesting an
nouncement concerning the foreign re-
lations of Great Britain were made by
Lord Salisbury. The premier began
his address in a low conversational
tone. The first announcement which
provoked Hear, hear" was that, be-
fore many months he hoped that the
efforts in Egypt would result in the
capture of Khartoum. When the premier
reached the question Of China there
was murmur of expectancy, and the
pacific assurances he gave were re-
ceived with evident approval and re-
lief. The Marquis of Salisbury said:
Il will not use word which seems to
CRATE on the noble earls' ears, but l
may say there is no effort which this
country would not make rather than
lose her treaty rights. At the same
time no one has evidenced the slightest
intention of infringing those rights.
I'm regard to the loan, it is true
that we suggested as one Of the condi
tions, the opening of the Ta-Lien-W Wan
as a treaty port China made some OBJ
jections, and finally as a compromise,
on the 18th suggested that the mat
ter be left in allegiance until the rail-
way reached Ta-Eien- Wan, when 1T
should be opened as treaty port. Sir
Claude Mcdonald, the British minister
at Pekin, replied the next day that
China accepted this, and since then
have heard nothing TO the contrary.
The old question on the loan is still
negotiating" The marquis added: IT
have received spontaneous assurance
from the Russian government that any
port they open in China will be open
to free commerce"
Turning to india, Lord Salisbury de-
clared that the troubles with the Afri-
dis were not due to the occupation of
the Chitral nor to fanaticism, but to
terror at the approach of civilization.
1t was only intended to occupy such
additional posts on the frontier as COM
petent military authorities deemed ab-
solutely necessary.

of the letter signed Enrique De LONE,
(the name of the minister of Spain in
Washington, and addressed to Jose
Canalejac, who went to Cuba in last

President Mckinley is referred to as
weak and catering to the rabble" and
as "a low politician, who desires to
stand well with the jingoes of his
party"
Washington, Feb. S.-Knowledge that
a letter was made public, claimed to
have been written by Minister Dupuy
De LONE, in which the president was
criticised, was current in Washington

able that should the letter be proven
authentic it would result in a change

Naugatuck, Feb. S.-The reclainling
plant of the United States Rubber
company, which took fire last Tues
day night, is still burning. A force Of
about thirty-five men are at work in
the ruins carting away the debris and
old rubber stock with view Of saw
ing valuable machinery, now imbedded
beneath the mass. The steam fire en-
gine from Bridgeport, which has been
here since Thursday pouring water in
to the ruins, was sent home to-day,
but the local fire department will con-
tinue working until the blaze is ex-
tinguished. 1t is impossible yet to de-
termine if any Of the machinery can
be saved. No action has been taken
by the directors Of the company rela-
tive to rebuilding, nor is 1t definitely
known whether they will continue the
business here or remove it to some Of
their other factories which might be
utilized for the purpose.
Woonsocket r. l., Feb. 8.-The re-
claiming plant Of the United States
Rubber company at Millville, Mass,
which has been shut down for over one
year, will be started very soon. The
Naugatuck plant will not be rebuilt

but fairly begun. The campaign commit
tees are now printing the most notable
speeches which have been so far made

millions upon millions of these will be
circulated from one end W the Union 10
the other during the coming summer. Sem
ator Wilson said the other day that he

Republican speeches that have been made
