CHASED BY TURKS.
Exciting Experience of a Topeka Ne
gro on the Midway.

A fight occurred on the midway this
afternoon between Walter Ransom, a
colored man, and a dozen Turks. Ran
som came out ahead in the race up the
street with the dozen Turks at his
heels, but he was second best in the
fight.
Just how it started has not been
agreed upon. Ransom gives the plaus-
ible excuse that he was doing nothing,
but the Turks say he insulted one of
the number.
Turks.
III go when I get ready" said Ran
som.
GO now" was the command.
Tn not ready" replied Ransom with
a string of oaths.
But he got ready in a hurry. Turks
with tent poles, tent stakes, animal
goads, whips and implements of every
sort seemed to spring up right out of
the ground.
Ransom changed his mind, and
started off with a handicap Of ten feet,
which he soon increased to fifty feet as
he heard the horde of jabbering Turks
yelling at his heels. He lost his hat,
but did not wait to recover his head
gear. The last seen of him he disap-
peared over the Fifth street hill. He
claimed that his arm was broken by
being struck with a ten pole.

trenchments.
Chief Ripley Leads an Army of
800 Police.

Chicago, May 26-At 2:3O this after
noon 300 police officers of the city of
Chicago, headed by Chief Ripley. and
every man bearing a repeating rifle,
marched from the East Chicago avenue
station on the north side to the foo of
Superior street, where Capt George
Streeter had fortified himself on a strip
of land created by the washing up of
soil from the bed of Lake Michigan, and
hich Streeter claims as his property
by right Of discovery. In the entrench-
ments were about seventy men armed
with rifles and two Calling guns.
1t was finally decided to mobilize 800
police officers under the leadership of
Chief Ripley and to march against the
Streeterites and demand their surren-
der.
Sheriff Magerstadt went with the
chief of police and it was planned that
in case of refusal to surrender that the
sheriff would Immediately swear in the
300 police officers as deputy sheriffs,
again demand hesurrender of Streeter's
forces on the ground of riot and disor-
DERBY conduct and proceed to arrest
the occupants of the fort regardless Of
cost.
A fire boat with a Acting gun aboard
was dispatched up Lake Michigan to
make u demonstration from that side
and to cut off the escape of Streeter's
men by means of their yacht. 1t was
arranged that the joint demonstration
of land and water forces should occur
NJ at $50 O'clock.

Santa Fe Picnic Committee Secures
Some Concessions.

The committee which was appointeG
to confer with the passenger depart
ment of the Santa Fe in regard to get
ting the rates for the annual picnic low
cred made a call at the general offices
today.
Although they met with some sue
cess, the rates which they were endeav-
oring to get were not granted. The men
are almost unanimous in their wish to
picnic in Kansas City and have beer
trying to get a rate of so cents for the
round trip and rs cents for children.
After due consideration by the Off
ckals, the committee was informed that
the road would grant a fare of 70 cents
for round trip to either St. Joseph or
Kansas City and a 40 cent fare for
children.
Another vote will now be taken. The
management of the road will be very
strict in selling tickets for this price
and outsiders will not under any cir
cUmstances be sold tickets.

Bay.

Washington. May 26.-Consul General
Stowe at Cape Town, has reported to
the state department that the seizures
of flour and provisions on the three YES
sells, Mashona, Beatrice and Maria, have
been finally and satisfactorily settled.
It has been found that the goods were
the property of the c~onsignees in South
Africa: that the American shippers are
not, and can not be losers. and that the
seizures will not affect the American
trade. In the cases where the con-
signees refused the bills drawn upon
them by American shippers, though the
latter might easily have secured pay
ment through the colonial courts, the
British government has preferred to
invoice price. of the provisions seized,
