Washington, Dec IL. AN appeal by
Mr.. Mason of Illinois for an expression
of sympathy for the Transvaal republic
in its war with Great Britain was the
feature of the senate proceedings Mon
day IL was the first formal address de-
livered in the senate this session and

ton by members and large gallery of
auditors
The resolution upon which Mr.. Mason
based his speech was referred, at the
conclusion of the address, to the foreign
relations committee, Mr.. Lodge OF Mas
sachusetts, considering it too delicate a
question in view of the position of this
government to pass upon without seri-
Gus consideration.
No business of Importance was trans

journment was taken.

CHICAGO RACE WAR.
ish and Christian Boys-Ab0ut
200 Lads Engaged.

Chicago, June 2l.-A pitched battle
between Hebrew and Christian boys
on Stewart avenue became so fierce that
police interference in force was made
necessary. The fight was the result Of
the bitter'f feeling between the Jewish
and Christian boys OF the neighbor-
hood. The Gentiles attended schools
in the vicinity Of the battle-ground and
they allege that the insults cast upon
them by the Jews have been un-
bearable. On the other hand the
Jewish boys say the Christians have
attacked and beaten them while they
were on their way TO school. Both
sides lined up their forces and count
showed them about evenly balanced,
there being about 200 in all. At q
signal, the battle was begun. The
Christians made the attack, and,
with stones and clubs, drove the Jew
ish boys half a block down the street.
The retreating ones, however, were re-
inforced and recovered some of their
lost ground. The combatants dubbed
and beat one another right and left.
Blood flowed freely and many. of the
Youngsters received painful injuries.
A riot call brought the police to the
scene and both sides fled.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 2l.-The ex-
ecutive committees of the Missouri and
Kansas Press associations met here to-
day and voted to accept the invitation

trip through Canada, from Winnipeg to
Vancouver and return. Although ear
lier in the year 1t was decided to hold

souri, association in st. Louis, this &C.
ton was reconsidered and Kansas City

meeting was August Is and the time
for the starting Of the trip August IS.
The change in the convention plans

that the Kansans might be the Mis-
sourians' guests at their next annual
meeting, Then both associations will

GUILTY OF "INDISCRETION."
Superintendent Young Of the Kansas SOL
diers' Orphans Home, Tenders His Re-
signatiOn as Requested by Board.

Topeka, Kan, June s1.-Col. W. H.
II. Young. by request of the state
board of charities, rendered his resig-
nation as superintendent Of the SOL
diers' orphans home at Atchison, to
take effect August /. The resignation
was demanded after two-days' in
vestigation by the board. Olive
Groh, an orphan in the institution,
made the charge that Superin-
tendent Young had made indecent
proposals to her. The board i'm
lnediately went to Atchison to investi-
gate the matter. 1t found that the
charge was unfounded and exunerated
Young. But during the investigation
the board discovered that he had been
guilty Of number of indiscretions in
other matters, and decided that 1t
would be better for all concerned If he
were deposed as superintendent.
