RIOT IN PORTO RICO,

Police Seemed Powerless to Cope With
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 7.-At 4
O'Clock the natives made a concentrated
movement at Porto Tiera. Different
mobs, totalling about 1900 men, at
tackep the foreign colored men. Any
English-speaking negro was. subject to
attack, particularly the natives of St.
Thomas and st. Kits. One Porto Rican
was killed, one was seriously injured
and three negroes Of st. Kits were
dangerously wounded. -
The affair was the outcome of the
pier strike, and the pretense Of the at.
tack, apparently, was that the English
islanders were usurping Porto Rican
labor. The islanders anticipated trouble
and some Of them were armed with re.
volvers. =. s.,
. A company Of infantry under Captain
Alexander and Leutenants Ansel and
Parker was called out, martial law was
declared, soldiers now patrol the streets
and the rum shops were closed. The
mere presence of the soldiers dispersed
the crowds. .,>. : I'D
There were no demonstrations after
the arrival Of the troops. The condition
Of affairs necessitates the presence Of
troops. The municipal police are utterly
inadequate to preserve order and handle
the crowd. They stood by during the
riot as spectators and made no attempt
"a interfere. - - w. ~ To-.

DEMOCRATS WIN.

Decision by the Court Of Appeals in the
Kentucky Governorship Middle.
FRANKFORT, KY, April 1.-THE court
Of appeals has handed down decision
II the governorship case in favor Of the
democrats. The decision is by six of the
judges, four Democrats and two Repub-
leans. One Republican, Durelle, dis
sented. The other two Republican
judges, Burnam and Guffey, gave q sep
arate opinion from the Democratic
judges but which agreed with the DEM
ocratic members in its conclusion. =
Judge Hobson wrote the opinion OF
the court. The concurrence OF Judges
sBiuirnam and Guhey with the; fpur Dem
5ocratic judges was a surprise generally,
:bus to the Republicans especially, and
there is much speculation now as to
whether the talked-of appeal to the 50.
preme court will be proceeded with.
The opinion holds that the action Of
the legislature in seating Governor
Beckham was final, and that the courts
have no power to review it; that Gov
ernor Taylor exceeded his authority in
adjourning the legislature to London,
and that the journals of the two houses
of the legislature being regular cannot
be impeached.

Foster and Faulksr Speak in the Montana
NJ %@ Bribery Case.
/ WASHINGTON, April - Mr.. Foster
continued his argument during the day
before the senate committee on elections
In the case Of Senator Clark Of Montana.
He reviewed at length the testimony of
witnesses for the melnorialists, contend
ing that much Of it was hettrsa5 aud.
therefore not competent. He commended
that there was no, bribery in the en-
ployment Of . legislator unless his en-
ploymont was made conditional upon
his vote. He also argued that the fact.
that the Legislators had obtained; aidi-.
tional wealth was no proof against MI.
Clark, as the increase might easily come
from other sources. He declared that
. majority Of the witnesses for the
prosecution were employed by Marcus
DAILY and that two thirds Of them were
contessed1y corrupt. Nv 81.
Mr.. Foster was followed by his col.
league, former United States Senator
Faulkner, who also charged corrupt
motives in the prosecution, saying that
1t was the result of combination 81
wealth and perjury. He laid the blame
for the proceeding at the door Of Mar
Gus DAILY and his agents, alleging that it
was in no wise sustained by public sen
timent in the state Of Montana. 4&s.

RAT CRUSADE GOES ON calm FOLLOWING STORM.
SANITARY COMMITTEE HAS NOT
ABANDONED IT.
Though There Has Been No Wholesale
Destruction a Good Many Rats are
Being Killed-The Bounty.

The public has had it's laugh out of
the rat poisoning crusade ana the Sani-
tary Committee, which proposed it and
worked hard to carry it out, Joined as
heartily in the laugh as any one. But
the committee has not abandoned the
effort and it hopes the public will not.
Though there has been no wholesale
destruction of rats in any one place, a
good many rats are being killed, and
what is more encouraging than any
thing else, to those who believe in the
rat crusade, is that more and more
people are becoming interested in it. If
the interest can be kept up it is felt
that effectual work will be done in
destroying one of the greatest means
of spreading the infection of plague.
Boys in different parts of the city are
becoming interested in the subject
The plan of paying cash for the rats
through the inspectors has very great
advantages to the boyish mind over the
plan of paying by means of voucher
which has to go to the Auditor Cen
erals Office and receive sundry rubber
stamp marks and finally be exchanged
for warrant on the treasury. All this
red tape is unintelligible to the boylsh
mind. His idea of a bounty for rats
is cash on delivery, and as Judge Will
cox says &C. o. d. to a boy means
P. D. O."
Il think the theory put forward by
Joe Marsden raised public expectations
too high" says L. A. Thurston of the
Sanitary Committee. people got the
idea that if they put water alongside
the poison they would find the rats all
dead in a row next morning; and such
is the authority of Joe Marsden that
when people didn't find the row of dead
rats, they thought there must be some
thing the matter with the poison"
The twenty-five cent bounty for live
rats brought one boy to the Sanitary
Committees headquarters this morning
with a basketful of baby rats which
had not been in the world long enough
to lave heard anything about the
bounty offered for them. The boy was
paid and the rats were burned.
Sixty rats were reported from one
inspection district this morning, and
Chinese hui of rat catchers is at work
among the keawi trees of Waikiki.
A live rat which was brought to
committee headquarters yesterday was
induced to eat some of the Benson,
Smith & Company's poison. He is now
dead.
