To BATTLE THE CHICAGO POLICE
TWENTY ARMED MEN WITH RAPID FIRE GUNS TAKE POSSES.
SION OF LAND ON THE LAKE-B0Y is SHOT.

Chicago, May 26.-With an armed body
of 20 men, two rapid fire guns and some
barbed wire for making entanglements,
CAPTAIN John Streeter early today took
possession of 1856 acres of land on the
shore of Lake Michigan today. After
hosting the American flag, Streeter's
men threw up entertainments and sue
cessfully resisted all efforts of the po-
lice to evict him from the premises One
small party of city park officials, bent
on finding out who was encroaching on
their ground, We're quickly put to flight
by volley fired from behind the
trenches. Reuben Manly, aged IA. re-
ceiyed one of the shots in the knee. A
carriage horse belonging to one of the
park officials was shot dead. riot
alarm was turned in and 30 policemen,
heavily armed, hurried to the scene of
the disturbance. When the officer in
command saw the formidable and
threatening display of artillery pointed
his way over the entertainments he or
dered a hasty retreat. Chief of Police
Ripley favored attacking and capturing
the entrenched men at any cost, but
finally decided to await the decision of
the city law department as to the legal
ity of an attack on the Streeter force.
Meanwhile he ordered measures to be
taken for what the police department
believe to be the greatest battle between
the police and opposing forces since the
memorable Haymarket riot.
Captain Streeter claims to own land
which. We're the titles clear, would be
worth between $30, 600. 900 and $40, ,0OO, 900.
In 1883, Streeter and his wife were
stranded on little sand bar a few yards
from the shore at the foot of Superior
street. The spot was down on the maps
and the doughty navigator laid claim to
the land and declared his right, being the
whole population. to elect himself to all
the offices to which he, in framing the
constitution, deemed the territory in

need of. AS the years passed, the Dump
ing of all sorts OF refuse and earth wash
ed up by the lake formed large tract,
and Captain Streeter became a man of
Importance. With his Importance and
the increased value of the land, his trou.
Bile began. The tract became connected
with the shore and the owners of add
joining property resented the presence
of Streeter. They carried the matter into
court. The supreme court of the United
States decided that the land was within
the jurisdiction of Illinois. Streeter
thereupon offered the district to the fed
eral government. A year ago he organ
lied under the nanre District of Lake
Michigan" a territorial government and
elected himself chief justice and to the
other offices of Importance. The police,
however, descended upon him and his
army of about 80 men, and since then,
up today, the captain had lived in an
other part of the town. Preparations to
retake the possession We're made with
great secrecy. and it was not until dawn
today that the police were aware of in
vasion.
At 2:3O this afternoon three hundred Of
ficers of the city headed by Chief klpiey
and every man bearing repeating rifle
marched from East Chicago avenue sta
ton to the foo: OF Superior street.
In the entertainments We're about sew
enty men armed With rifles and two gat-
ling guns. Sheriff Magerstadt went With
the chief of police and it was planned
that in the case Of a refusal to surrender
the sheriff should Immediately swear in
three hundred policemen as deputies and
to again demand the surrender OF Street,
er's forces on the ground of riot ana dls-
orderly conduct, and TO arrest the occu-
pants of the Fort, regardless of the cost.
The fire boat with a gatling aboard was
dispatched up Lake Michigan to make a
demonstration from that side and to cut
off the escape 1f Streeter's men by means
of their yacht.

GERMANY'S ACTION.
CUTS NO FIGURE IN UNITED
STATES MARKETS.
Trade in Animals and Meat Insignifi-
cant-No Influence on Market
Values.

Chicago. May 26.- Concerning Ger
many's antagonistic legislation against
American live stock and meats, M. =.
HOrine, statistician for the Chicago
stock yards said today:
$50 far as the general live stock mar
kets Of the United States are concerned,
Germanys action cuts no figure. Her
trade in animals and meats from this
country is comparatively insignificant
and neither German prices nor German
legislation has any appreciable influence
on market values here. On the very day
when the prohibitive measure was pass
ed by the Reichstag, the prices for all
kinds of live stock rose the Chicago
paid no attention to it. The prices Of
live stock are governed solely by the law
Of demand and supply and the demand
from Germany has never been sufficient
factor in the market to effect quotations
in the least.
During the five years 1894 to 1898 in
elusive, the exports of meat and meat ami
mails from the United States to Germany
have averaged only two and eight-tenths
per cent of the total expectations of those
comm odities."
