SEVERAL FIGHTs.-There we're SIX
fights in this city from about twelve
O'Clock last night until nine this morn
ing.
The first occurred between two men
at the intersection of Kiog and Fsyette
streets. Neither one was hurt ana no
arrests we're made.
I Another fight took place on Fsyette
street. between King and Prince about
midpiaht between Charles Baltimore
and VIM. Brookes, both colored. The
frscas disturbed the slumber OF many
10 the neig hborhood, but the combat"
tants escaped before the arrival OF the
police. This morning Officer Arlington
procured q warrant for the arrest OF the
bellgerents.
About seven o'clock this morning q
negro named Clarence Washington be-
came disorderly at the Fayette street
depot, and upon being approached by
special Officer Hardin grew aggressive
and started to assault the officer. The
latter had considerable difficulty in tax.
log him into custody. He was taken
before the Mayor who fined him IS.
Later Patrick Duffey and Charles
(alias "Buck'') Schafer engaged in en-
encounter near the W. & o. depot.
Officers Belts and Knight appeared on
the scene and took both 10 custody.
Duffey was fned s.. but Schafer was
dis missed.
James Peterson and Robert Brown,
employed on a schooner lying at this
port, engaged 10 q fight at the intersec-
ton of King and Lse streets shortly
afterwards. Officers Arthur Davis and
Travers arrested both and took them
before the Mayor. 1t seemed that Brown
had become incensed at Peterson, who
is the mate OF the schooner, alleging
that be had unnecessarily worked the
men. The Mayor fined Brown S. and
dismissed Peterson, who, according to
the evidence was not in fault. Brown
came out second-best in the fight and
later when the mate went aboard the
schooner the remainder OF the crew tei
upon him. Peterson, who is rather a
small man, knocked his 81 slstants right
and left. More arrests followed and
the parties who started the fight were
fined.

President Roosevelt told Gov HUM that
he would like to see two republican sena-
tors from Delaware. but Gov. Hum was
not able to assure the President that the
prospects were bright for this. In fact,
Gof HUM says that there has been TO
change in the factions of the party in Del
aware, that the Addicks and Dupont peo-
pie are absolutely obdurate and that the
outlook for two senators is apparently re-
mote Gov. HUM stands ready to call an
extra session of the legislature whenever
the chances are good for the election OF
two senators. President Roosevelt will not
recognize either of the two factions. but
VIII largely put the distribution of patron
age in the hands of Representative Ball
whose symoathies are inclined against Mr.
Aodlcks. The appointment of Mr.. Head
as postmaster at Wilmington was dictated
by Mr.. Ball, and was in opposition to the
desires of Mr.. Addicks

Discussing Southern Politics.
Senator McL.aurin was with the President
nearly an hour this morning discussing af-
fairs In the south. That the South Carolina

fairs in his own state is certain, but he was
not inclined to say much about the confer
ence.
