Police and Soldiers Repeatedly Charged
the Rioters-Two Christians Were Killed
Other News.

Mglers, january 24.-Antl-Jewish
riots were renewed here yesterday,
The mob invaded the Jewish quarters
and pillaged the shops in the Rue Ba-
bazOum, driving the Jewish merchants
into the street. a squad Of chasseurs
was ordered to the scene and charged
the mob with drawn swords, but the
mob reformed further on, cheering for
the army. Revolvers and cheering
were freely used. One man, who was
stabbed in the back and shot in the
head died ON the spot. Many We're
seriously stabbed; one, named Cayol,
dying from his wounds at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The crowd hear
ing of this became dangerously eXclt-
ed shouting "They are numbering u.s."
Death to the Jews" and resumed pill
laying. The fronts of six shops We're
destroyed and looted buildings burn
ed. The police repeatedly charged
the rioters but We're stubbornly re-
sisted and We're powerless to restore
order until the troops arrived.
Several policeman We're severely
malreated. Many arrests for theft
have been made. The Jewish au-
thoI'ties recommend their co-religion-
lists to remain indoors. Both the men
killed in the riot were Christians, and
their compapjonS have sworn to
avenge them. 1t is feared there will
be further riots.
Later-The belief that there will be
further rloting was well founded. Dis
turbances and the looting of Jewish
shops continued throughout the even
ing despite THE effort of the troops
to quell the disorders. At 10 O'clock
they We're still pillaglng and threw
the goods into the street.
The zouaves charged the crowd
with fixed bayonets and ispersed them
many persons being injured.
AT the moment this dispatch is sent
the rioters are reasseunbling on the
corners and setting fire to the stores.
Troops are being hurried to the spot.
There have been 1855 arrests The
maintenance of order has been dele
gated to the military.
Midnlght--By midnight the town
had become quiet and the fires on the
had been eXtinguished. The streets

london, January 22.-The st. James
Gazette yesterday afternoon, COM
mentlng upon dispatch from Yollo-
hama saying n fleet of nine Japanese
warships will leave Japan in the
course of Il week for Chinese waters,
says.
"Janpan is prepared for war. That
in a nutshell is the news from Ycko-
DIANA yesterday and it is really the
first news from Japan since the be-
ginning of the Chinese crisis. 1t is
obvious that the Japanese government
had stopped telcgraphic communica-
ton. which it never does except when
mpbllzlng an army or navy. That is
precisely what it has been doing. 1t is
almost certain the destination of the
fleet is Wei Hal Wal, and there Is no
doubt the movement means the statu
quo in China, so far as Manchuria and
Cora are concerned, shall not be alter
ed by Russia or any combination of
Russians allies in defiance of Great
Britain and Japan. SO long as the
defenders policy is equality of OPP
portunity in China they are in posi-
tiOn to enforce their claims"

Galveston Texas, January 24.-Legis-
lative material in Galveston county
this year is going to be hard to find.
The men who secure the nomination
will have difficult problem to face.
One of the big fights in the next leg
islature will be the question of wharf
age. Leo n. Levi, as the attorney for
the Galveston common council title to
the west end flats, an area of water
front embracing about 900 acres. The
matter will be opposed in the legisla-
ture by the Galveston Wharf company
and the West End Dock company, and
that is why candidates will have to
declare themselves. The city wants to
secure control of these flats, piers and
docks and prepare to do Il wharfage
business. The West End Dock compa-
NY wants to do the same thing. The
city would demand no more than would
be necessary to pay expenses, interest
and create sinking fnud as is re-
CURED by law. The idea of the council
is that the commerce of the state should
he as free from burdens as possible.
Cheap wharfage would go far towards
developing the business of the port and
the council thinks it the only means of
building up a great export trade.
The West End Dock company like
the Galveston Wharf company, is a
private corporation. In the event it
should secure control of the flats and
construct docks and piers the present
rates would doubtless be maintained,
There is no activity yet among pros
pectlve candidates, but it is known
that they viii have toalign themselves
on one side or the other Of the question
outlined above.
