Continual trouble is being reported
from vessels manned by Japanese
crews. the Japanese resenting any in

grudge for European passengers. Sew
eral cases have been reported where
officers already marked for attack by
the japanese and warned to withdraw
from the service their retention of their
positions being invariably followed by
murderous attack from ambushed
Japanese enemies. "A case in point is
reported from the New York X. liner
Hakata Maru from japan via Hong
Kong for England. There were 3S pas
sengers on board the liner. many of
whom were repeatedly attacked by the
japanese crew whenever they left their
own state rooms after nightfaIl.

ganized attack on the English officers
and passengers of the Hakata Maru.
The Japanese were armed with
knives. crowbars and Delaying pins,
brutally beat the chief engineer and his
assistant and attacked a passenger
Thomas Hall. in his BERTH cutting his
head open with a marlin spike. Ac-
cording to the accounts in the Tele-
graph. the officers and most of the pas
scngers were driven to the bridge
where. unarmed 40 Englishmen kept 100
drink-maddened Japanese at bay dur
ing the entire night by brandishng
their walking sticks.
Three Chinese were hanged slmulta-
neously in the Victoria jail at Hong
Kong, on January IL, the drop being
made to accommodate all three and the
trio falling together. The executed men
were members of an armed gang of
shop thieves, and in raiding a store
killed a Chinese employee. The Grim

Interference With Snow Ball Match Neces-
states thd Sending Of Riot Calls.

Two thousand students of the Rush
medical college. the Chicago college of
dental surgery and the Marquette
school, engaged in a desperate conflict
Tuesday afternoon at Chicago with 40
policemen. The battle ragged with inter-
missions of peace from noon until 6
o'clock in the evening. The police were
compelled to send in riot calls repeated
ly. When the students were finally put
to rout they retreated to the protection
OF the college buildings and hurled
down all kinds of missiles upon the
police. Janitor Gus Christianson, of the
Marquette school. was badly beaten.
and had to be carried from the field OF
battle.
Brandishing clubs and revolvers the
police chased the students inside the
college doors and forcibly took them
from the buildings. When the riot was
over and peace reigned % students had
been placed under arrest.
The trouble began by the students en-
gaging in a SNOWFALL fight. in which the
policemen interfered. The grand battle
began at p. m. when the officials ar
rested Carl Case. the son of professor
in the dental school. When he and an
other prisoner were locked in a patrol
box the students smashed the box, roll
ed the officers in the gutter and re-
leased the prisoners. During the fight
four students were badly clubbed. and
Officers Sullivan and Bremen injured.

Shorter Work DAYS.

Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, has
been in New York to get the unions to
enter into great movement for an
eight hour work day. According to
the present plans of labor leaders a
demand for the eight-hour day will be
made on May l next that Will involve
fully 1,00O,000 men.
The American Federation of Labor
will make this demand in one trade at
n time, and according to the leaders
great strikes are expected before the
battle likely to follow Is decided.
Previous attempts to force the large
employers to grant the eight-hour work
day have been unsuccessful. The sue
cess of the recent strike of miners, in
which more than 200, 900 took part, has
encouraged the American Federation
of Labor to prepare for undertaking a
tremendous fight. The leaders are now
rerfecting plans which they believe
VIII insure success.
Mr.. Gompers intends to confine his
work until May 1 to interesting the
unions affiliated with the American

AN INSULT TO m'KrNLEY.
Tho Spanish Minister Said to Have Called the
President Low Politician.

Representatives of the Cuban junta
at New York gave out copies Of q let
ter signed Enrique Dupuy de Lone"
who is minister of Spain in Washing
ton. and addressed to Pose Canalejas,
who went to Cuba last September as
Premier Sagasta's personal representa-
tive. In this letter the Spanish minister
refers to President Mckinley as weak
and catering to the rabble" and as 4
low politician. who desires to stand
well with the jingos of his party"
The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Press says that when a copy
OF this letter was shown to Minister de
LONE he promptly pronounced IL a
forgery. He also says that an official
OF the state department discussing the
matter said: DE LONE did not write
that letter: the Cuban junta has been
imposed upon by somebody"
On the other hand Horatio l.. Rubens,
counsel for the Cuban junta, says: I'VE
know absolutely that this letter Is gem
uine. A man risked his life to obtain
IT. We do not hesitate to acknowledge
that IT was stolen from Canalejas. It
is written on the paper of the legation.
The handwriting is De Lomes and the
signature is his"
As result OF this letter, the state de-
partment has communicated with the
authorities at Spain, and Minister De
LONE will likely be recalled.
