Il WILD STAMPEDE
Caused by a Shout of "POlice' mt a
Cooking Main.

Worcester, Mass, April 2-Sporting
men from Boston, Providence, Worces-
ter and other places assembled in a
hall at Echo Grove, Hopkinton, at an
early hour this morning for cooking
main. The principal battle was be-
tween Blackstone and North Purchase
birds, best two in three. The North
Purchase birds won and $500 changed
hands There were about thirty birds to
be fought, but the decision in the bat
tie between the Blackstone and North
Purchase birds caused such a wrangle,
that to quiet the disturbance some one
shouted Police" Then there was a
wild stampede through the narrow win
dows, which We're about ten feet from
the ground. In the crush more than
dozen of the sports were injured, come
of them seriously. One Milford young
man had his leg broken, another from
the same town fractured his ankle and
a third injured his spine A Hopkinton
man fell on his face on the frozen
ground and the others who jumped from
the window landed on his PROSTATE
form He was unconscious when picked
up and his nose was almost torn from
his face. Broken wrists and fingers and
internal injuries were numerous.

IMPORTANCE OF S.iMoAN ISLANDS.
Statement Issued by the Treasury Bu-
renu of Statistics.

Washington April 2.-The people pro.
ductions and commercial and strategic
Importance of the Samoan Islands are
discussed in a publication just issued by
the treasury bureau of statistics. The
islands lie in almost direct line between
San Francisco and Australia and slight
ly south of the direct steamship line
connecting the Philippines with the pro-
| posed Panama or Nicarguan inter-
ance, therefore, it is stated, lies more in
their position as coaling and repair
stations on these great highways Of
commerce rather than in their direct
commercial value, their population being
small and their exports and imports of
comparatively little Importance.
The group consists of ten inhabited
and two uninhabited islands with an
area of 1,700 square miles and an aggre-
gate population, according to the latest
estimates Of $4,000 people, of which
something over 200 are British subjects,
125 Germans, % Aericans, 25 French and
Germans, rs Americans, 25 French and
25 Of other nationalities, while the re-
mainder are natives of the Polynesian
race. The bulk of the population is To-
Gated in three islands, Upolu, Savii and
Tutuila, the number in Upolu being 49,
600; in Savii 1850 and in Tutuila. which
contains the harbor of Pago Pago, ced-
ed to the United States in 1878 for ma
val coaling station, 3,70O. The islands are
of volcanic origin, but fertile, producing
cocoanuts, cotton, sugar and coffee the
most important, however, being cocoa
nuts from which the "copra" of COM
merce is obtained by drying the kernel
of the cocoanuts. The expectation of
copra, from the islands in 1896 amounted
to 12565,9 ,909. valued at $231,S72. A con-
siderable proportion of this was export
ed to the United States and a larger pro-
portion to Germany, whose citizens con-
troll its commerce through a trading
which has long been establish
ed there. In 1896 the imports were $304,-
159, of which $47552 came from the
United States; $49,S02 from Germany
$177,S57 from the Australian colonies,
S27,44 from Great Britain and $21 904
from other countries. The exports in 1896
were $263,047 of which $231,372 was
copra.

Military Administration Believes II
FIOMrishcs mud VIII CIfan II Out.

Havana. April ITO day, as under
the Spanish regimen bribery and fraud
direct the Cuban courts. This is the
firm conviction of the military admin
istration. Governor General Brooke Is
taking the matter up and intends to
clean out the corruption, to revise the
judicial procedure, to change the court
personnel and to abolish the barbarous
practice of incommunicado, by which a
judge may imprison for life a person
ignorant of the accusation against him
and of the names Of his accusers 1t Is
true that the statutes allow only three
days detention incommunicado; but a
judge-under the practice that has
grown up-may make a new commit
ment at the expiration of the third day,
and at the expiration Of the SIXTH and
so on without limit. More than this,
the evidence in criminal causes is taken
by escribanoa, or clerks, who for a con-
sideration write into the testimony
things never uttered, thus often maxi
ing the best friends of the accured ap-
pear to condemn him. Apparently the
whole criminal and civil systems have
been arranged so as to make it easy to
buy and sell justice.

Il DISTURBANCE IN HAT1Nf.
The Police and Some American Marines
Get i'm n n oyy,

Havar a, April 2.-Late this afternoon
a slight conflict occurred at La Machina
wharf between the police and some ma
rines and sailors of the Resolute. The
appearance of General Ludlow and the
police reserves quelled the disturbance.
1t is asserted that the marines were
more or less intoxicated. that one of
them raised a row, that the police in
terefered, and that, thereupon the com7
panions Of the intoxicated marine set
upon the police. Several shots were
hred before the arrival of tie military
governor and the police reserves under
chief Menocal. The marines returned
to the Resolute and it was reported at
headquarters this evening that one
policeman was wounded in the affray.

APPLICATION FOR RECEIrERsHIp.
Granted for the Kansas CITY, Ftttsburg
and Gulf Railroad.


Kansas City, Mo, April "A receiv
ership for the Kansas City, Pttsbur
and Gulf railroad was asked last nigh
of Judge Gibson of the circuit court b.
Charles Grannis and other stockholder
and creditors. The application wa
granted and Judge Gibson appointed
as receivers: e. L. Martin, vice presi
dent; Robert Gillian, general manager
and j. Med. Trimble, attorney, all o
this city. The interest due amounted t.
$555,00 and it could not be met. Wher
| this fact became known q mevemen
was inaugurated to secure the appoint
ment of receiver who would be spe.
cially friendly to the eastern interests
of the road. This movement was check
mated by the preparation of the pa
pers for the appointment of local receiv-
ers.
| Judge Gibson was applied to late last
night. The petition for the appointment
of receiver was signed by Charles A.
Braley, e. f. Silver and John A. Eaton
of the law firm of Trimole & Braley.
The outstanding debt of the system is
$23, 100000 Of bonds. The interest due
yesterday amounted to $575,000. The
equipment Of the system amounts to
$40, 600 or $4,000 per month, which con-
sumes the earnings and diverts them
from the interest fund. The receiver
ship does not involve any interest of the
Port Arthur system other than the main
line of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf railroad. The northern lines, Kan
sas City Suburban belt and the Port
Arthur Canal and Dock company, to-
gether with other interests, are said to
be upon a firm basis. The financial
troubles that have involved the Pitts
burg and Gulf are directly attributable
to the fight against the completion of
the canal, as it deprived the railroads
of terminal facilities at the gulf for
more than a year ard compelled the
company to make use of Galveston,
which necessitated giving up a very
large share of the revenues that would
ordinarily accrue to the road.
e. l.. Martin said last night 1.-THE
application was made in order to pre-
vent the road from falling into the
hands of some one as receiver whom we
know nothing about and whose methods
of handling the property could only be-
come known to the stockholders as
events brought them about. We are
certain we represent the sentiment of
the great majority Of the stockholders
in our scheme for reorganization and
I am confident in five or
six months the receivers will have the
affairs cleared up"
c. A. Braley said: II received an in
timation yesterday that a movement
was on foot, when the interest was de-
faulted, to secure the appointment of
an eastern receiver. We then deter
mined to keep the road in the hands of
It's friends and in the place where it was
originated. 1t is a Kansas City enter
prise, and Kansas City receivers should
control its destinies.'
