OUR NORTHERN NEIGHBORS
 ARE LOYAL.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

OTTAWA, Ont, May 19.-In the House of Commons Hon. MT. Cleary, a representative of one of the border con- stituencies, in discussing the American alien labor law and the manner in which it had been enforced against Canadians, incidentally referred to the Approximation War, saying that the American people would come out victorious, still there were not few who would not like to see the United States get a bit of spanking be- cause of it's unfriendly treatment of Canada. Cries of ''No!" arose from all parts of the House.
 Premier Laurier, arisingS evidently with some warmth said: T sincere ly hope my honorable friend who has just taken his seat, in his utterances which at the moment called forth ex- pressions of dissent, speaks his own personal feeling and not the feeling of his party. I would rather hope that upon the present occasion, though we are bound to be neutral and must be neutral in the present differences De- tween the United States and Spain, l should like to believe that if there is feeling at all apart from our duty as neutrals, it is a feeling of sympathy for those who are our neighbors and who share the continent with us.
 Sir Charles Tupper, opposition leader, expressed entire acquiescence in what the Premier had said, and concluded his speech by saying: While we are bound to respect that complete neutral hot parent state in reference to the war between the United States and Spain, nevertheless, feel that we cannot for get that the people of Canada, as of Great Britain, are but one branch of the great English-speaking family, and that the interests of peace, the in terests of civilization and the interests of the world would be promoted by the most cordial cooperation between the two great branch nations"
 MT. Charlton, a member from On- tario, then called the Governments att tention to the presence in Canada Of Senor Polo y Bernabe, late spanish Minister at Washington, who seemed to be actively engaged in attending to an office of war.
 Premier Laurier replied that the Government had no knowledge that Bernabe had done anything to warrant interference by the Government At any rate, the attention of the Govern ment had not been called to the mat ter The British Empire had always been the asylum of refugees under any circumstances. So long as the Spanish Ambassador did not abuse Canada's hospitality. the Government did not conceive that 1t was in any way bound to take notice of his presence here.

seem to show that probably five and even six months have elapsed since they were cleaned. What is true of the Vizcaya and Oquendo Is also possibly true of the Infanta Maria Teresa and Cristobal Colon All these ships have been III warm waters during the past six months We know from experi- ence that if is absolutely necessary to clean armorclads every six or nine months. Consequently, I have no doubt that the hulls of the Spanish men of-war are very foul and that their speed as consequence has dropped off three or four knots
 While 1t is known that the Naval War Board has given consideration to the formation of flying squadron, in fact and name, 1t can be positively stat ed that nothing has yet been done look ing to the formation of such fleet, and 1t is stated that nothing will be done in this direction unless the Spaniards should continue to evade the armor- clads'
 "The fact is," said an officer, with whom talked, 'that the board regards the Spanish armored cruisers as vessels which only battle-sllips or armored cruisers can meet with safety. The armored sides of the cruisers and tur- rets are nine inches thick, so that the six-inch guns of protected cruisers could not penetrate this armor. None of the protected cruisers, except the Minneapolis and Columbia, carries guns of greater caliber than six inches, so that we must depend upon our armored cruisers and battle-ships to do the fight ing"

TERROR READY TO LEAVE
 ST. PIERRE AT ONCE
Repairs to the Spanish Torpedo-Boat Destroyer Have Been
 Completed.

ST. PIERRE, Martinique, May 19.-The Spanish torpedo-boat destroyer Terror, at Fort de France, has completed her re- pairs and is ready to leave at any mo- ment. The Spanish ambulance ship Ali cante to-day changed her moorings from the inner to the outer harbor in order to take on coal.
 The British steamer Twickenham, with 2000 tons of coal, has arrived at Fort de France. It is reported that a contract has been made with the Spanish Govern ment under the terms of which the Twickenham is to furnish coal for a two- months basis at Fort de France The French Government has thus far refused to allow the Alicante to coal from the Twickenham, but the Spanish Consul has obtained permission for a five days wait for the Twickenham before declaring at customs.
 The excitement among the Spanish Sympathzers is very great

 Major Frank Mclaughlin, chalrIilaii of the California State Repuplcali Committee, has been here for several days. and incidentally has conferred with Senator Perkins over the dlstrl- bution of Federal patronage Ill the State. There are several good places vel to be given out, viz: United States District Attorney, Pension Agent at San Francisco and Shipping Comm1s- sioner. to say nothing of the brlgadlef- generalshfp.
 1t is pretty we'll understood that the District Attorneyship lies between Frank Coombs, who was recommended bv the delegation, and I1rey L. foro. Tine chances naturally favor Coomps' although MT. Ford's friends are max ing a strong fight for him.
 Tha pension agency will go to State Rank Examiner Fuller. Paris Kill h,1rn will be made Shipping Commits sioner. to succeed Gwin, if this office can be removed from the civil service
 The friends of Captain l.. Carrlng- ion regular army, have begun move general of volunteers. They under stand that President Mckinley has signified his intention of promoting regular army officers to be brigadiers c,f volunteer troops in most instances, and this encourages them to believe that Darlington may win, although the President is strongly disposed to annoint Otis. The fact that Senator Frye of Maine is making a determined fight against Otis leads Carrington's friends to believe that their candidate may stand a chance for appointment.
 The Call correspondent understands that Frye has sworn vengeance against
 aI 1{c1,e iro fIa Los Angeles Times some time ago de- claring that the Maine Senator was under Huntington's control. This was at the time that the controversy was over the San Pedro harbor. Senator Frye said to friend yesterday: 'I did what I could to defeat the nomina- tion of Colonel Otis for Assistant Sec retary of War, and he shall not be ap- pointed brigadier if I have any in- f1nence with the President '

ably satisfied that sufficient postage
has been paid thereon.

of the country papers. He advocated
the formation of an association by the

A RIOT IN CHICAGO
Desperate Battle Between Police
and Students in the Lake City.
NONE KILLED BUT SEVERAL HURT.
Trouble Begun by Students snowbaIling, In
Which the Police Interfered-Forty
Policemen and 1000 Students
In the Fight.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9. Two thousand stu
dents of Rush Medical college, the
Chicago College of Dental Surgery and
the Marquette school engaged in
desperate conflict yesterday afternoon
at Harrison and Wood streets with 40
policemen. The battle ragged with in
termissions of peace from noon until
six o'clock in the evening. The police
were compelled to send in riot calls re-
peatedly and in the early part of the
scrimmage they were badly worsted.
1t was a free-for-all, rough and tumble
fight.
When the students were finally put
to route, they retreated to the protec-
ton of the college buildings. From
there they hurled all kinds of missiles
upon the police, who were wildly chas-
ing the offenders. A glass jar filed
with paste, was thrown from the
fourth floor of the College of Dental
Surgery. 1t struck Policeman Bren-
nan upon the right arm, knocking him
to the ground and forcing HIM to re-
lease his club, with which he was try
ing to chastse the fleeing students.
Janitor Gus Christianson. of the Mar
quette school, was badly beaten. Chris
Hanson was only lately clothed with
police power, and he endeavoreu to as
sist 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 the Warren ave-
nue., Lake street and Desplaines street
station. The streets in the vicinity of
the colleges were black with people.
Twice prisoners were wrested from the
police by the students. The students
howled and jeered at the police. This
defiance caused the police to lose con-
troll 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 25
students had been placed under arrest.
The prisoners were taken to the Lake
street station, where they were kept
until nine o'clock, when the last of
them was bailed out.
The trouble began by the students
engaging in a SNOWFALL fight in which
the police interfered, and then the
students joined forces and attacked
the officers For n time the row was
good but the fighting instinct
came to the surface in a short time,
and numerous scrimmages resulted.
The grand battle began at five p. m,
when the officers arrested Carl Case,
the son of a professor in the dental
school, and who is said TO have been
innocent. The students took him
away from the officers, and later,
when another prisoner was locked in &
patrol box, the students smashed the
box, rolled the officers in the gutter
and released the prisoner. During the
fight, four students were badly
dubbed, and Officers Sullivan and
Brennan were injured in a manner
sufficiently severe to give them lay
oil of one week or whereabouts.

through this consideration than any
other in casting their vote, will be
glad to know that the matter is to
be taken up and pushed to an early
conclusion.
Those who cite Topeka as a shining
example of the success of city owner
ship of Light plant, are either will
fully or ignorantly imposing on the
public. Topeka owns a small cleo
trio light plant with which it lights
its own streets, but it does not now
and never did attempt to furnish light
to private consumers. 1t leaves that
to private enterprise.
