RIOTS IN NEW YORK.
white Men Go on the Warpath for
Il Negroes.

r
New York, Aug. %. A number Of
incipient race riots broke out here yes
5terday, the direct cause being the
shooting on Saturday of John Bren-
nan, a white messenger boy, by John
Davis, alias .Lampiighter," negro.
Brennan was one Of a crowd of boys
who tainted Davis and bullet from
the black mans gun lodged in the
stomach of Brennan. He was taken
to a hospital and is expected to die.
The shooting becoming noisad about
the whole white element began to
search ont negroes. Before daybreak
yesterday morning James Arnold,
colored, while passing Sixty-fourth
street and Amsterdam avenue, was at
tackled by crowd Of whites and badly
beaten. He was treated at hospital
Shortly afterward about two blocks
away the gand doled out
A Similar Experiences
to Alexander Ballentine, coloreo
man who was passing quietly along.
In neither case were arrests made. AT
$3.50 In the morning a crowd of whites,
led by Frank McPike, twenty-four
years of age, went to a fve-story ten
ement Of Sixtieth street, occupied by
negroes, with the avowed intention OF
cleaning it out. They had about de-
molished the windows and incidentally
cracked head or two when the police
arrived. McPike and another man
were arrested. At 1880 o'clock in the
afternoon Joseph Doyle, eighteen years
of age, filled his hat with stones and
took his stand at Fifty-ninth street
and Eleventh avenue. He succeeded
in inf1icting scalp wounds on two coll
ored men before a policeman clubped
and arrested him. Officer John r.
Cleary
Placed Under Arrest
for being sassy William Hopson, a
colored man. He rashly undertook to
take his prisoner to the station through
West Sixtieth street. This street be-
tween West End and Amsterdam ave-
nues is called Cuckoo Row" and
here colored people live by the hun
dreds. The fact that one of their race
was in the hands of a policeman was
all that several of them wanted and
half a dozen of them thought they
would release Hopson. Cleary used his
club and then drew his revolver and
threatened to shoot the first man to
make a move. In this way he held
the mob at bay until other policemen
came to his aid. They arrested George
Meyer, also colored. Clarey said he
started the attempted rescue. Meyer
Resisted Arrest
all the way to the station and when he
got there he had several scalp wounds.
One in particular was very large and
it is thought the negro's skull is frac-
tured William and Henry Rapp,
brothers, white, were arrested and
locked up on complaint of Adam john
son, colored, who claimed they had
stoned him.
The above are only few assaults
which came to light by arrests. The
fact is that all day long the police in
the neighborhood mentioned were
kept busy dispensing small mobs bent
on mischief. The consequence is that
the force is unusually alert and pre-
pared to cope with any serious trouble
should it break out.

Excellent results are reported to
have been obtained by the French
government from experiments made
with wireless telegraphy. 1t was
found that communication could be
maintained with comparative ease be-
tween the shore and a ship at the dis
lance of sixty miles, only the height
of the mast of the ship preventing
longer distance being attained. In
consequence of this success it has been
decided to equip the French Mediterra-
mean squadron with the necessary ap-
DaTatus.

Washington, Aug. %. - Russia, Ger

war upon China either separately or in
concert. This statement is made upon
the authority of the highest character.
What those nations may do within the
next forty-eight hours, or within the
next fortnight is a question which no
one in Washington is prepared to
answer. A brief dispatch from Chefu

among diplomatic representatives Of

is accepted in official circles as suf-

In the day dispatch was received at
the Japanese legation from the foreign
office of Japan conveying the latest
and most authoritative information Of
the sitpation in and around Picking.

disquieting nature, as they indicated
that the Chinese had rallied their

Gain In Circulation,

AS a direct result OF the refunding
law passed by Congress at its last ses-
sion the national bank note circulation
has risen to a higher point than at any
time since 1855. This has been secured
by the provision in the law In adding
to the margin OF profit on bond-secured
circulation by the Issue OF the new .
per cent bonds and the reduction In the
tax upon bank note circulation. The
circulation secured by bonds on the first
day OF January. 1856, was s27i .4GG,7iS.
There was steady downward tendency
until November 1890. when the bond
secured circulation had fallen TO $685.
s5s.736 and the banks had Deposited in
the treasury s5i.7s6.907 in lawful money
for the retirement OF the notes still out
standing. There were periods of re-
covery In the bond-secured circulation
during the next few years. especially
after the four bond issues OF Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration. but the close OF
December, 1899, found the bond-secured
circulation at s2O9. 1895. The circula-
ton secured by bonds on Saturday last

$6S,000.000 The circulation secured by
lawful money and In process of retire
ment has fallen from s36,435, 53S at the
close OF last year TO $3i,52S,12s Mt the
present time, making the total national
bank note circulation s3i2. 49i. o33.
This increase. however. does not show
the entire effect OF the refunding law IN
swelling the circulation, as the banks
are entitled upon the bonds which have
been deposited to about Sl1.3OC.0Oo more
circulation than they have actually re-
ceived. The reason for the discrepancy
is the delay at the bureau OF engraving
and printing in preparing plates and
printing notes for the small banks ra-
